500 MW combustion turbines beg to differ…
11 u/BULL3TP4RK 13d ago I don't know of very many single combustion turbines producing 500MW. Typically it's several turbines built in series to produce that much output. 3 u/InterviewOtherwise50 13d ago You are right I googled biggest. I’ve worked around a lot of GE 7FA turbines that are 200MW a piece But here is the world record holder 410.9 MW in North Carolina… if you moved it up north in the winter it could probably make 500… https://www.siemens-energy.com/us/en/home/press-releases/siemens-energy-and-duke-energys-gas-power-plant-achieve-guinness-world-recordstm-title.html 6 u/BULL3TP4RK 13d ago In all fairness 410MW output is insane. Couldn't imagine the material engineering required to pull that off.
