Whether for gas turbine combined cycle power plants (CCPP) or combined heat and power (CHP) plants, NEM offers competitive solutions to support new, flexible, and efficient power generation. The global power markets are changing faster than ever before. The complexity of the energy system demands that new power plant solutions become more flexible, while also requiring a high level of efficiency.
The need for more flexibility has everything to do with an increasing amount of renewable energy connected to the grid. Power plants need to become more flexible, ramping up faster and dealing with a challenging operating regime in order to be able to cope with fluctuating renewables.
NEM offers a unique variety of product designs taking into account these market requirements, preparing customers for different plant operation scenarios in the future. Gas turbine power plants are becoming more efficient in converting the chemical energy in the fuel, often natural gas, into electrical energy supplied to the grid. The steam cycle in a gas turbine-based power plant is increasingly important as the waste energy of a gas turbine needs to be converted into electricity in the most efficient possible way. NEM thermal design capabilities are second to none and allow for optimal heat transfer in a combined cycle power plant, leading to the highest efficiencies.
Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP)
NEM Energy supplies a range of equipment for Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs), supporting both the gas and steam cycles.
Rotor Air Cooler: Solves the stress corrosion problem faced by many gas turbine applications. The innovative, patent-pending design is based on stress corrosion-resistant material, the elimination of the expansion joint, and heat protection of critical parts. This protects the cooler against excessive fatigue from thermal cycling and increases its availability.
Exhaust Gas Bypass Systems: These systems contribute operational flexibility, maintainability, and safety to a combined cycle power plant.
Condenser & Cold End Solutions: Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) captures exhaust heat from the gas turbine and uses it to produce steam. This steam can then be used for power generation or industrial processes. The Condenser returns the used steam to water, enabling it to be reused in the cycle.
