Hydraulic Power Augmentation
More Power.
All the Time.
Gain up to 3 MW of power from your engine. A direct replacement for water-spray injection, PROENERGY hydraulic power augmentation (HPA) reclaims the 350-kW parasitic power loss from compressor bleed air to give you more power whether the system runs or not.
FEATURES
Power Up
Legacy technology maxes out at plus 7.3 MW*, not counting parasitic loss. Without the need for open high-pressure compressor (HPC) 8th stage bleed air, HPA gives more.
PERFORMANCE
Less Erosion.
Higher Flow.
Our HPA atomizes water to less than 20 microns for reduced erosion of Stages 0-4 low-pressure compressor (LPC) airfoils and increased flow rates to deliver more power. Compared to legacy technology, Stage 1 HPA increases flow rate by 20 percent for 500 kW more power, and Stage 2 HPA doubles the flow rate for 2.1 MW more per engine.
TURNKEY HPA
All You Need. No Hassle.
Your HPA system requires no significant modifications to the turbine or package and no changes to the inlet volute.
Â
It includes the following equipment:
- Pump skid
- Customizable 50-hp pumps:
- 1) Stage 1 HPA
- 2) Stage 2 HPA
- 3) Fogging
- 23 HPA nozzles
- Inlet volute–mounted manifolds
- Interconnect tubing, hoses, and wiring
- Controls modification
CASE STUDY
67.2 MW Gained
Using Stage 2 HPA with increased flow rates, a fleet of 32 gas turbines gained an average 2.1 MW per engine during peak power demand in ERCOT.
