Number of steam turbines to be installed
Number of steam turbines to be installed
(OP)
Hello everybody:
For a particular project of cogeneration, the conclusion is that the installed capacity should be 18 MW, delivered by steam turbines.
One company is offering to install one steam turbine of that capacity and, another one propose to supply for that capacity, small steam turbines (to operate in twin and/or in tandem) in order to achieve a better operation when for any reason the plant is running short of steam and the turbines have to work at part load.
I would like to hear your comments about this subject and, if possible, I would like to be adviced about the must acceptable criterio for operation of steam turbines at part load.
Thanks in advances.

I think the hearsay when Edison GE the cross compounds was to reduce the "lenght" of the turbine hall, but the square footage increased as well as the installation's cost.
Is it possible you are referaning to having multiple turbine casings (driving one generator)
