Combustion turbines are well-suited to the task of meeting peak needs
because they are easily brought on line in a short period of time.
Because hot air is less dense than cold air, less mass passes through
the machine in hot weather, even though the flow volume remains constant.
Because more energy from the
fuel is recovered and used to produce electricity, combined cycle plants can be as much as 50%more energy efficient that “simple cycle” peakers; however, they are not suited to peaking usebecause they cannot be brought on line quickly enough to function as peakers.
These predictions are then compared to ambien...
