AES Combustion Turbine Purge Credit Retrofit Reduces Power Plant Hot Startup Time by 30%

Following Emerson’s completion of a combustion turbine purge credit retrofit project in early 2019, NAES Corporation has reduced average hot startup time at Middle River Power’s Tracy combined-cycle power plant by approximately 30%. The plant’s ability to more quickly generate megawatts is expected to result in an additional $170,000 in annual revenue.
