Gas turbines and combined cycle: Relationships
Every element and industry that Gas turbines and combined cycle is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.
- Natural gas: Gas turbines are the main way gas becomes electricity, so their fleet size and running hours set the power sector's gas burn. Where gas is expensive, as in India, plants sit idle and serve only peaks; where power demand surges, as with data centres, turbine orders run years ahead of supply. (researched)
- Aviation propulsion: Energy flows from gas turbines and combined cycle to aviation propulsion; their prices have moved together.
- Compressed-air and CO2 storage: Energy flows from compressed-air and CO2 storage to gas turbines and combined cycle; their prices have moved together.
- Nickel: Gas turbines and combined cycle needs nickel; their prices have moved together.
- Recuperators and regenerators: Energy flows from gas turbines and combined cycle to recuperators and regenerators; energy flows from recuperators and regenerators to gas turbines and combined cycle.
