Aeroderivative gas turbines seen offering stable accompaniment to renewables

Aeroderivative gas turbine technology could provide an economical and efficient alternative to wind, solar and tidal power generation, particularly as these technologies depend on unpredictable weather. Global engineering firm Siemens sub-Saharan Africa power and gas executive VP Andreas Pistauer asserts that the company’s aeroderivative gas turbine technology is a flexible, economical and efficient alternative to around-the-clock renewable-energy power generation, ideal for peaking, mid-merit or baseload operations.
