Advanced V84.3A and V94.3A gas turbines
The evolution process of developing advanced gas turbines has led to the introduction of the V84.3A and V94.3A gas turbines for ratings of 170MW/60 Hz and 240MW/50 Hz. The development of these units is based on the experience of Siemens with heavy-duty gas turbines. An agreement between Siemens and Pratt and Whitney was the basis for a complete aero-engine derived compressor and turbine flow path designed into a large heavy-duty gas turbine. In 1994 through 1996, the first V84.3A gas turbine was tested up to an output of 180 MW. A 38% simple-cycle efficiency was achieved during this test period. Despite the increased firing temperatures, dry low NO{sub x} emission was tested to below 25ppm over a wide load range. The .3A Series gas turbine development, design and manufacturing is based on the utilization of highly reliable components proven successful in operating experience over an extended period. Combining the best performance with the highest reliability was the goal of the design team. Prolonged testing at the full-load test facility provided important data to fine-tune the first .3A Series gas turbine before shipment to power plant sites.
