Raiders of the lost heat: Capturing extra megawatts

In a rapidly shifting energy landscape, every decision you make about your aging assets matters. Today’s gas turbine (GT) and steam turbine (ST) fleets are being asked to produce more output, respond to higher cycling, and support evolving grid demands, making untapped capacity a critical opportunity.

Generator performance shifts, changing steam conditions, and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) thermal behavior often reveal where additional megawatts can be uncovered through strategic upgrades. At the same time, plants must balance these performance gains with better long-term reliability, outage efficiency, and smarter upgrade planning.

In this session, GE Vernova experts will show how to pinpoint where your generator, steam turbine, and HRSG systems can capture more power, regain lost performance, and extend asset life.

During this session, you will:

• LEARN how targeted generator upgrades can increase capacity, enhance durability, and shorten outage timelines through modernized stator, rotor, and field solutions.

• EXPLORE next-generation steam-path technologies that reduce unplanned-outage risk, boost output and efficiency, and offer flexible configurations that integrate seamlessly into existing turbine architectures.

• ACCESS HRSG upgrade options that improve reliability, flexibility, and long-term performance through modernized components, enhanced thermal-management solutions, and strategic maintenance planning.
