Във Франция произведоха най-голямата и ефективна газова турбина

Energy giants General Electric (GE) and Electricite de France (EDF) have been celebrating the production of the world's largest and most efficient gas turbine, the 9HA Harriet gas turbine, at the GE plant in Belfort, France on Thursday. The first 9HA turbine will be shipped to Bouchain in northern France, where EDF and GE are developing one of the world's most efficient gas power generation combined-cycle power plants, scheduled to enter service in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region around mid-2016. GE's H-class turbine can run a 600 megawatt steam power plant capable of supplying 600,000 homes, burning a variety of natural gases from shale to liquid natural gas. According to GE, 16 Harriet turbines are already on order in the United States, Europe and Japan with over 85 more still in negotiation.
