Industrial Gas Turbine Repair - What does it take?
The power generation industry is under constant pressure to meet fluctuating energy demands due to variable renewable energy demands. Combined cycle plants are increasing in size and number and have become the primary source for stable power production. The number of industrial gas turbines in service continues to increase and along with this, their technology has significantly evolved over the last 50 years to meet ever-increasing demands. Consequently, industrial gas turbines operating in these environments require periodic repairs, a task that calls for considerable expertise, precision and capital equipment investment.
