GAS TURBINE BECOMING HOPE FOR UTILITY INDUSTRY
|
The gas turbine, which has been called the ``neglected stepsister''
of electricity-generating equipment, is becoming the utility
industry's main hope for the next decade.
Because of improvements in design and materials, gas turbines,
which have traditionally gulped premium fuel in large amounts, are
now among the most efficient of electricity-generating technologies.
The latest models produce more energy per unit of fuel than
typical utility boilers.
And just around the corner, experts say, are improvements that
will let them overcome a voracious appetite for costly natural gas
and ...
