Performance enhancements for Gas Turbines
A changing market
In a rapidly changing market driven by de-regulation and
globalization, more and more customers are looking into
cost-efficient upgrades increasing the lifecycle of their
capital equipment and meeting more challenging
requirements towards performance, maneuverability and
availability.
ABB´s solution, our customer´s benefit
