Key benefits

Increased profitability, improved O&M costs

Today’s combined-cycle plant operators are facing critical component wear and tear due to equipment age and increasing cyclic duty. As a result, plant output and efficiency are on the decline and unplanned emergent work is becoming more common. But with an ASP upgrade, you will take better advantage of existing or improved steam flow, improved O&M costs and reduced life consumption—which will help keep you online and profitable for years to come.

ASP benefits

  • Reduced risk of unplanned outages and major emergent repairs during planned outages that are both costly and extend outage duration
  • Increased steam turbine output based on recovery of aging losses and improved technology (up to 15% increase in output when combined with the 7F.05 or 7F.04-200 gas turbine upgrade package)
  • Enables combined-cycle plant upgrades that increase steam flow
  • Improved combined-cycle heat rate
  • Advanced engineering iterating on previous models, featuring improved materials and industry-leading technology
