GPB15DGPB15D Ideal for reliable on-site base load power generation requiring from 1 to 1.5 Mw's in areas requiring a "Green" engine: reduced engine exhaust emissions requirements. Ideal for cogeneration, peak shaving and load management applications
The GPB15D is based on Kawasaki's proven heavy duty single combustor engine platform with over 20 years of commercial experience and proven reliability. It is designed for installation in areas requiring reduced engine emissions.  At 1.4 Mw's it is well suited for base load  use in:  Hotels and Hospitals, Universities / colleges, institutions, office complexes, high rise condominium complexes,  shopping malls with heating and cooling CHP loads,  Ethanol plants, City subway and electric rail systems, pharmaceuticals, aquariums/ museums, and other facilities with thermal and electrical loads.

Our gas turbine engine design incorporates many features and benefits not typically found on industrial gas turbines of this size. Our GPB15D unit enjoys availability and reliability of 98%.
A Closer Look
The GPB15D is well suited for use in areas requring reduced engine emissions  (see our GPB15 for use in areas that do not have emissions constraints) . offers 78% cogeneration efficiency
  • NOx emissions of 14 ppmv and CO emissions of 50 ppmv (O2=15%) at full load
  • Optimized ratings suit a variety of applications, including on-site generation, cogeneration, peak shaving and load management
  • Design incorporates many features and benefits not typically found on industrial gas turbines of this size
  • Based on a Kawasaki heavy-duty engine platform with over 20 years of commercial experience and proven reliability
  • Engineered specifically for long service intervals  32,000 EOH time between overhauls, low maintenance and rapid installation
