Vietnam Electricity Gains 39.6 MW Boost
Gas Turbine Wet CompressionVietnam Electricity installed MeeFog systems on two Siemens V94.2 gas turbines. The systems provide evaporative cooling and wet compression and produce a 19.7 MW power boost, resulting in a 39.6 MW total power boost for the plant. Wet compression consists of spraying water into the gas turbine compressor. The water evaporates inside the compressor. This inter-cooling effect reduces the work of compression, which causes an increase in power output.
