Operational Impact
Platte River Power Authority is now able to quickly start and load two 7EA gas turbines for approximately 117 MW in 10 minutes. These gas turbines can now realistically act as a backup for Rawhide’s primary unit and for system emergencies. | |
The implementation of the OpFlex Fast Start software has resulted in a 30% reduction in fuel burn during start-up, contributing to cost savings and environmental sustainability. | |
The solution has also led to a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions, further enhancing the company's commitment to maintaining strict emissions controls. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Over 100 MW on grid in less than 10 minutes from start signal | |
30% less fuel burn during start up | |
50% less CO2 emissions | |
