Advanced Air Inlet System

The Synergic Plant's air inlet system is designed to maximize gas turbine performance while minimizing degradation and maintenance costs.

Filtration and Chilling System

• Strategically integrated within each gas turbine hall at an optimal height to improve performance.

• A large surface area reduces pressure drop and ensures consistent airflow.

• Total pressure drop remains lower than traditional systems, even with added HEPA and chilling stages.

Optimized Inlet Ducting

• Engineered to improve airflow characteristics and reduce turbulence.

• Enhances gas turbine efficiency.

Aero-derivative Gas Turbines

The Synergic Plant employs aero-derivative gas turbines renowned for their exceptional flexibility, rapid startup capability, and high reliability. Compared to industrial turbines, these turbines offer quicker responsiveness, making them ideal for dynamic load management.

The Synergic Plant features a proprietary high-temperature refractory exhaust design that merges directly with the OTSG base.

Key Advantages:

Extended Length Design

• Reduces resonance and improves exhaust temperature mixing.

Heat Retention

• Stores residual heat for faster and more efficient restarts.

Noise Reduction

• Quieter operation compared to traditional designs.

Improved Performance

• Enhances both gas turbine and OTSG efficiency.

Lower Maintenance

• Simplified design reduces wear and tear.

Once Through Steam Generators

The Synergic Plant integrates state-of-the-art Once-Through Steam Generators (OTSGs) from Innovative Steam Technologies (IST). OTSGs are a key factor behind the Synergic Plant's fast starts and high efficiency.

Key Benefits:

Rapid Startup and Shutdown

• Immediate response to changing grid demands.

Full Dry Running Capability

• Operates safely without water in the system.

Cold-Weather Ready

• Performs reliably in extreme temperatures without additional infrastructure.

Impulse Type Steam Turbine

The Synergic Plant's steam turbine is a two-pressure impulse-type design optimized for flexibility and reliability.

Impulse Design Advantages:

Fast Start/Stop Cycles

• Built for daily cycling with minimal stress on components.

Wide Operating Range

• Maintains high efficiency even at low flow rates.

Lower Operating Temperatures and Pressures

• Improves longevity and reduces maintenance needs.

Reduced Maintenance

• Fewer moving parts mean lower downtime and longer operational life.

Synergic Super Core Condenser (SCC)

The proprietary Synergic SCC dramatically improves steam cycle performance, matching the characteristics of the aero-derivative gas turbines and OTSG.

Highlights of the Synergic SCC include:

• Continuous operational readiness, enabling instant startup capability.

• Zero maintenance requirements.

• Superior condensation efficiency compared to traditional tube-type condensers.

• Use of high-purity condensate as the cooling medium, maximizing system efficiency.

SynVane Coolers

The SynVane Coolers are a critical part of the advanced air cooling system that provides the efficiency of a water-cooled plant while virtually eliminating water consumption. This technology is a key enabler of the Synergic Plant's flexible siting and superior environmental performance.

Key Advantages:

High-Efficiency Performance

• Achieves cooling efficiency competitive with traditional water-cooled systems.

Superior Environmental & Community Profile

• Virtually eliminates water consumption, using only approximately 2 gal/MWh.

• Operates quietly, making it suitable for siting near commercial or residential areas.

Flexible and Scalable Design

• Contributes to a compact and efficient footprint that requires significantly less land than conventional plants.

Tri-form Building

The Tri-form Building is a unique 120° structure that houses all plant equipment in a sound-absorbing, climate-controlled enclosure while also actively improving system performance and efficiency.

Aerodynamic and Efficiency Advantages

• The 120° Tri-Form shape is designed to capture wind energy from any direction to aid the fan system.

Compact & Integrated Design

• Provides a very efficient design for packaging all rotating equipment in a climate-controlled environment.

• All process piping and electrical systems are integrated into the building, allowing equipment to "plug in" for a fast, low-cost, and high-quality installation.

Acoustic Performance

• The Tri-form building has been designed as a sophisticated acoustic enclosure that reduces sound emissions down to 55dBA.

Rapid Construction

• Constructed using efficient and fast commercial building practices.

• This construction method eliminates field fabrication and dramatically reduces costs compared to conventional power plant construction.
