Modernization & upgrades for utility steam turbines

Many power plants were constructed several years or even decades ago, and their designs were based on the market requirements of that time.

As market conditions have changed, Siemens Energy has responded by creating a variety of upgrade solutions. These solutions are designed to extend the operational life of power plants and enable them to meet current demands more effectively, ultimately enhancing their competitive edge in the market.

Extending the operation period of mature steam turbines may require extensive measures, such as comprehensive repairs or major component replacements. In such cases, implementing modernization solutions can enhance revenue generation through efficiency improvements and thermodynamic optimizations. A steam turbine modernization may offer a significant opportunity to address new requirements from changing energy markets, such as enhanced unit flexibility, economic part load operation and transient full load operation.
