Abstract
The introduction of modern, high thrust aero-engines for aircraft propulsion has led to the development of a comparable range of new high power, high efficiency, aeroderivative gas turbines. This is typified by the Rolls-Royce TRENT, the world's most powerful aeroderivative and most efficient gas turbine of any type. The development of these large, efficient aeroderivative gas turbines (GTs) present specific opportunities for use in power generation and combined heat and power plants. This paper outlines the features that distinguish the TRENT aeroderivative GT and its merits in power generation. Consideration is given to the issues that differentiate the aeroderivative GT from industrial design GT plants and specific case studies are discussed which demonstrate the advantage of aeroderivative GTs.
