ENERGY DEMANDS & IMPACT
ON TURBINE OIL
• Reduce Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) -
capital & operating costs
• Higher turbine efficiency
• Reduced emissions
• Flexibility of supply to meet demand
(fast ramp rates)
• Increased availability with less incidence
of power outages/turbine trips
• Cyclic peak-load operation is becoming
more frequent and severe
We see the move towards higher turbine efficiencies, more combined cycle applications and gas turbines. There is also the
demand to provide faster ramp-up rates to meet periods of peak demand and more operation in cyclic or peak loading rather than
base load operation.
How are the deposits formed?
