Global Aeroderivative Gas Turbine Market Overview

Aeroderivative gas turbine is emerging as mainstream for an engine with advancement in design and growing R&D across industries. Initially, the aeroderivative gas turbine was known as a lighter weight variation of a gas turbine. Aeroderivative gas turbines emerged in the late 1960s with unique performance attributes compared to traditional industrial gas turbines. They are designed so that air and fuel are mixed and then ignited to attain the desired output. The primary features of an aeroderivative gas turbine are low mass and high efficiency. Other than these, aeroderivative gas turbine offers other vital benefits to industries. It could start up more quickly for peak and emergency electricity generation. Also, aeroderivative turbines offered lower weight in a smaller footprint, which is ideal for offshore platforms.
 
Furthermore, their higher efficiency, coupled with simplified installation and maintenance, saved money for pipeline operators. Aeroderivative gas turbines can convert 40 % of fuel energy into electricity when configured for cogeneration, and system efficiency can exceed 80 %, as far less of the fuel's chemical energy is lost as unused heat. It is also being used to balance the integration of variable power sources, like wind and solar, into the electricity grid. 

 
Demand for aeroderivative gas turbines is estimated to grow with rising investments towards power & heat generation facilities, increasing adoption of cutting-edge technologies, expanding renewable energy integration, and increased focus toward decentralized generation technologies. However, one of the major pitfalls for aero-derivative gas turbines is their relatively high initial cost and availability at more competitive prices. Due to particular end-use interests and many other complex technical, commercial, and market factors, aero-derivative gas turbines sum up to be high cost and with more competitive price. But after analyzing higher efficiency and total life, the cost of aero-derivative machines is much less than heavy industrial frame gas turbines.
 
The global aeroderivative gas turbine market is fragmented. The market consists of well-established vendors with strong brand value and expertise in large-scale handling projects. General Electric (GE), Mitsubishi Hitachi, Siemens, Wärtsilä, Kawasaki, Solar Turbines, Opra Turbines, BHEL, MAN Diesel, Harbin, Vericor, and Capstone are key players associated with the global aeroderivative gas turbine market.
