Simple cycle power plants utilize a gas turbine and a generator to generate electricity.
The primary focus of our gas turbine Siemens simple cycle (SSC®) reference power plant (RPP) program is to develop plant designs offering significant customer benefits through low life-cycle costs. The modular concept used in the RPP program allows easy adaptation to specific customer needs and site requirements. In its base configuration the RPP includes the most frequently demanded standard configuration. This provides a valuable, predefined wrap of core, options and variants to provide high benefits for general application.
The SSC5-2000E is the proven simple cycle solution for all load regimes, particularly for peak-load operation. The gas turbine is of a robust design capable of burning a wide variety of fuels – ranging from gas and/or liquid fuels with widely varying calorific values via treated heavy and crude oil to gaseous process and gasification products. The Siemens SGT5-2000E gas turbine fleet consists of more than 300 units in operation with over 10.000.000 operating hours, a benchmark in terms of reliability and availability.
The SSC5-2000E is designed around advanced, proven and reliable Siemens equipment, including:
