Reheat combustion has proven now in over 80 units to be a robust, and highly flexible gas turbine concept for power generation. This paper covers three key topics to explain the intrinsic advantage of reheat combustion to achieve ultra-low emission levels. First, the fundamental kinetic and thermodynamic emission advantage of reheat combustion is discussed analyzing in detail the emission levels of the first and second combustor stages, optimal firing temperatures for minimal emission levels, as well as benchmarking against single-stage combustion concepts. Secondly, the generic operational and fuel flexibility of the reheat system is emphasized, which is based on the presence of two fundamentally different flame stabilization mechanisms, namely flame propagation in the first combustor stage and auto-ignition in the second combustor stage. Finally, the present fleet status is reported by highlighting the latest combustor hardware upgrade and its emission performance.

The 37MW Siemens SGT-750 is a high-performance twin-shaft gas turbine with a free power turbine. It can be employed both for power generation and as a mechanical drive. This gas turbine attains a simple cycle efficiency level of 40% and excellent performance in cogeneration as well as in combined cycle. Requirements from the oil & gas industry as well as industrial power generation have been heeded in the design. Since customer earnings are dependant upon turbine availability, uptime has been a major focus. Long service intervals, rapid gas generator exchange and easy access for borescope inspection all guarantee optimized availability. Maintenance work can be performed on site on the installed machine, alternatively the gas generator can be exchanged to minimize downtime. With this solution, maintenance downtime can be cut to a mere 17 days in 17 years. Furthermore, the hot-section blade temperatures can be monitored during operation as a “health check” to ensure availability. The SGT-750 is a “low-emission engine” equipped with a dry low emission (DLE) combustion system minimizing NOx and CO emissions. The high efficiency leads to a reduction of greenhouse gases with the further possibility to reduce the relative CO2-emissions in cogeneration or combined cycle. This paper will describe the development and testing of the SGT-750 gas turbine and the additional features which have been incorporated. A new development process has made it possible to increase uptime and serviceability; special attention has been brought to this aspect during the design phase, as will be highlighted in the paper.
