Abstract: As an Industrial Gas Turbine Manufacturer, Solar has been working for several years to identify viable methods of offsetting rising fuel costs and the ever increasing emphasis on energy conservation. This effort resulted in the initiation of a Combined Cycle Systems Development program for the Centaur-size (3830 horsepower ISO) gas turbine engine. Since the development program began early in 1975, cycle fluid selections has been made, a preliminary system design has been completed. and key component rig testing is in progress. An improvement in thermal efficiency from 26 to 39 percent for the combined cycle power plant over the simple cycle gas turbine is currently indicated. The program schedule provides for a prototype Centaur Combined Cycle Package available for initial field evaluation during 1979.
