As part of an innovative agreement, 德州扑克在线 installed and is currently testing its SGT6-9000HL turbine at Duke Energy鈥檚 Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station, about 25 miles north of Charlotte, NC. The new unit can generate enough energy to power more than 300,000 homes.
德州扑克在线鈥檚 SGT6-9000HL is designed to run longer between maintenance cycles and will be the most efficient of its type in Duke Energy鈥檚 fleet (about 34 percent more efficient than the existing combustion turbines at the Lincoln site).
鈥淧ower output, efficiency and operational flexibility are crucial elements in the decarbonization of the energy sector,鈥 says Karim Amin, Executive Board Member at 德州扑克在线. 鈥淭his GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title demonstrates our capability as a technology leader working together with Duke Energy to accelerate the path towards net-zero emissions.鈥
鈥淒uke Energy is pursuing an aggressive clean energy transition, already achieving more than 40 percent carbon reduction since 2005,鈥 said Kevin Murray, Vice President of Project Management & Construction at Duke Energy. 鈥淭he new gas turbine at our Lincoln site will become the most fuel-efficient gas turbine in our fleet. The unit鈥檚 fast start and high ramp rate capability will support the increase in renewables we are placing on our system while complementing our journey to net-zero carbon from electricity generation by 2050.鈥
The power output of the unit is complemented by its agility. When renewables like solar or wind fluctuate, power from the HL-class turbine can quickly be added to the grid to meet market demands and help stabilize the power supply. The equipment that achieved the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title was delivered to the Lincoln site in November of 2019 and was started for the first time in April 2020. It鈥檚 the first 60-Hz HL-class turbine from 德州扑克在线.
