team Turbine Generator was formed to service the Griffiss Business and Technology Park to provide power for 60 companies. Aware of rising oil and natural gas prices, GUSC decided to look for a way to provide the park with clean, reliable, and lower-cost power. Its key challenge was to develop a flexible energy power plant which meets new environmental guidelines and still provides reliable, low-cost energy to end-users.
Ultimately, the Elliott Group of Pennsylvania provided a 900 kWe back pressure steam turbine generator that uses the steam generated from a biomass boiler.The technology applied was the SVSS Steam Turbine with Induction Generator(900kWe)
Benefits of the system are said to be:
* Replaced oil & gas power with biomass power generation
* Clean, renewable energy
* Flexible energy power plant
* Lower-cost energy
* Meets environmental guidelines
“This state-of-the-art biomass cogeneration facility will provide a flexible energy system that can adapt to fluctuations in the fuels markets. Renewable, locally-sourced wood chips will fuel this CHP plant, allowing this local utility the flexibility to choose from multiple fuel sources to stabilize costs and provide savings to their customers,”
said a spokesman from Cogen Power Technologies.
Elliott steam turbine generators (STGs) offer an intelligent alternative for reliable, efficient and cost-effective on-site power generation. Our custom-designed STG sets support commercial energy requirements for continuous or standby power up to 50MW, including renewable energy applications and green energy initiatives. Elliott’s steam turbine designs incorporate industry standards such as API 611 and API 612, and National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) specifications SM-23 &SM-24 when required for all new units, aftermarket conversions, andre-rates. Complete packages include: steam turbine, speed-reducing gear, generator, integrated control system, lubrication system, and baseplate. Directly connected induction generator packages are also available.
For nearly a century, Elliott steam turbines have earned a reputation as the most rugged, reliable, and versatile drivers in the industry. Combining engineering expertise, rugged designs, and precision manufacturing, Elliott steam turbines are built to perform and endure years of continuous service. These powerful workhorses provide exceptional value and performance in a broad range of mechanical and power generation applications,around the clock and around the globe, in environments of every extreme. With power requirements, steam conditions, and speeds constantly rising, Elliott has continued to develop its steam turbine product lines to meet ever more challenging operating conditions. Elliott steam turbines are rated for inlet steam conditions up to 2000 psig/1005 degrees F and speeds up to 20,000 rpm.
Elliott steam turbines come in a variety of sizes ranging from small, 20 HP (15 kW) single-stage units, to large 175,000 HP (130,000 kW)multi-valve, multi-stage extraction condensing units. These units can be built to API standards and can be customized to meet exacting customer specifications. With a large selection of both standard and engineered steam turbines and turbine generator sets, Elliott steam turbines boost production in industries as diverse as oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, pulp and paper, power generation and food processing. Whatever the application requires,the world can turn to Elliott for a steam turbine solution.
