GE Vernova: to improve gas turbine capacity

Published: 2025-04-28 06:16:20 ET GEV

GE Vernova announces the launch of AGP XPAND, an evolution of its Advanced Gas Path (AGP) technology designed to increase gas turbine capacity. The first installation of this technology will be at the Bazyan power plant (1,250 MW) operated by Taurus Energy, a Onex group company. This upgrade will increase the capacity of the 9E.03 turbine by 7% and improve efficiency by approximately 1%, while maintaining reliability and ease of maintenance. According to GE Vernova, the XPAND AGP also enables a 2.6% increase in exhaust gas energy, which is beneficial for combined cycle or combined heat and power plants.Taurus Energy expects this technology to modernize its Bazyan site, which is powered by four GE Vernova 9E.03 turbines and two 9F.04 turbines. A 17-year long-term service agreement has been signed to cover the four 9E units. This project is expected to help meet the growing energy needs of the Kurdistan region and surrounding cities.Copyright (c) 2025 CercleFinance.com. All rights reserved.
