FLEX-PLANTTM TECHNOLOGY FOR COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANTS

Combined cycle Flex-Plant™ technology in operation

LOW EMISSIONS

Good for business and the environmentFor decades, gas-fired, combined cycle power plants have been a cleaner, more efficient, and reliable way to generate electricity (Compared to conventional).

Now take the next step with Flex-Plant™ combined cycle technology. The benefits of a combined cycle + eco-friendly and integrated power generation = a more competitive cost of generation.

Bridge the gap between non-dispatchable renewables and plants designed for baseload and GAIN UNMATCHED FLEXIBILITY.

Integrate 5 innovative technologies.Siemens Flex-Plant™ combined cycle plant technology helps competitively meet changing market needs.

Steam Assist™ System

Hot start a combined cycle (after an overnight shutdown) and eliminate the added expense and environmental impact of an auxiliary boiler.

DASH™ System

Quickly meet changing load demands and ramp as quickly as an unfired plant – at the maximum ramp rate of the gas turbine.

Co-Start™ System

Adds the fast start of the steam turbine to the cycle, for fast and efficient full plant output in much less time than traditional technology.

Energy-Control™ System

Start gas turbines at full ramp rate without the need for an oversized air cooled condenser for fast starting while decreasing water usage.

Clean-Ramp™ System

Recognized by Platts Global Energy Award for Commercial Application of the Year in 2014! Keep emissions low – at base load levels – while ramping or load following renewables.

STAY COMPETITIVE by utilizing the next generation of eco-friendly power. Partner with the leader in combined cycle Flex-Plants since 1999.

Worldwide, 22 combined cycle Siemens Flex-Plants are in commercial operation—with a combined 300,000 plus operating hours and well more than 10,000 gas-fired starts.This includes some of the cleanest, most advanced natural gas-fired power plants in the U.S.

3 Flex-PlantTM examples are

El Segundo, California

• 90 percent reduction of startup emissions and low water consumption.

• Fast start capability helps stabilize the grid and balance fluctuating renewable power generation.

Lodi Energy Center, California

• A highly efficient combined cycle plant, capable of daily cycling at efficiencies of over 57%.

• Emissions of only 2 ppm NOx and 2 ppm CO which load following a 2x1 CC at more than 60 MW/min.

Panda Temple II Power Project, Texas

• The DASH™ System has eliminated the need to hold back gas-fired MWs that support the ancillary services market—with a potential for profit increase of more than $25M over the course of a decade.
