Jtrux Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I work at the local utility company here in San Antonio and am an operator at one of the power stations here. We've got a total of 10 generators on this site. 4 LM6000's 2 on 1 combined cycle 3 conventional gas units from the 60's Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody4359 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm not an operator but I've worked on a few co-gens and 1 hydro turbine. gassers are fun but I want to do a few more hydros. the last 6 years I've mostly been at oil refinerys working recip compressors. here I learned of boom deflection a little later pulling the pickel of a 285 mega watt generator about 7 years ago Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtrux Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 All peaker gas turbine generators, right.The LM 6000's are our peaking units, yes. 50MW's each. Our conventional units produce 225, 225 and 440 respectively. The combine cycle is approx 460MW's maxed out. It's definitely a fun job. I consider my fortunate to have stumbled into it.

Jtrux Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Looking down at the combine cycle from the top of the largest conventional boiler. The steam generator is not shown in this pic. Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
