More Power & Flexibility Lead to Profits Case Study

In 2014, Powerphase installed a Turbophase system consisting of two Turbophase modules, at a cogeneration plant in the U.S. The Morris Cogen plant is a 177 MW combined-cycle gas facility located within the Equistar Chemicals petrochemical plant in Morris, IL. The Morris plant has a single pressure steam turbine (ST) (625 psig/750°F) rated at 57 MW, and three GE MS6001B, PG6561 gas turbines (GTs) upgraded to DLN1 combustion systems each with a HRSG. Equistar buys all the plant’s steam and part of the electricity. The Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland (PJM) West market buys the rest of the electricity. PJM needs peaking capacity, having had forced outages during the 2014 Polar Vortex.
