GPB180/180D (18MWClass)

gpb180_package

Ideal for reliable on-site base load power generation requiring from 16 MW to 18 MW for co-generation applications.
The GPB180/180D is based on Kawasaki's L20A heavy duty industrial gas turbine with 10 years of commercial experience and proven reliability.  At 18.4 MW (ISO), it is ideal for cogeneration applications in utility applications, large industrial process plant applications, large hospital complexes, universities / colleges, large district energy systems, large life-science and bio-science facilities, and other facilities with large thermal and electrical loads.  The Kawasaki Industrial Gas Turbine Generator Unit provides the benefit of a large thermal capability to provide a co-generation system efficiency of 84% or a combined cycle power plant efficiency of nearly 50% and a long service life of 32,000 EOH between overhauls.
