Steam turbine upgrades

Steam turbines generally have a working life of 30 years or more. During this time, improvements in technology enable designs of greater efficiency, reliability, and flexibility.

A new level of efficiency

But, even with improved technology, large generation assets are difficult to replace—operation is often extended and additional reliability issues arise.

Many of the advantages of new technology can be applied by replacing major components on an existing machine. This alleviates plant changes, as well as related civil engineering work. Our upgrades can help improve the efficiency, output, reliability, and availability of your steam turbine—and we can perform these upgrades on GE steam turbines or from other OEMs.
