Introduction Gas and steam turbines are core components of Europe’s energy generation. Today, almost 70% of Europe’s energy is generated with the support of gas and steam turbines. EUTurbines

We are globally operating companies for energy technologies with a strong European basis. The European gas and steam turbine manufacturers provide high-tech solutions for power generation as well as oil and gas and industrial processing industries in a highly competitive global market. The industry employs more than 70,000 people across Europe, generating an annual business volume of around 25 billion euros. Each year, the European gas and steam turbine industry invests more than 6 billion euros for purchases in Europe. Tens of thousands of small and medium sized enterprises are among our suppliers. As one of the most competitive industry sectors, we have proven that manufacturing in Europe is still profitable. Turbines of the highest technology and quality standards are the basis for our success in worldwide markets.

It also explains the changing roles turbines fulfil in a decarbonising energy system: while the past was characterised by central base-load power plants using large turbines for generating electricity, the new European energy mix will consist of a much bigger variety of energy sources, most of them low-carbon, and a more decentralised structure. Still, many of these primary energy sources will drive turbines to generate electricity, a fact most people are not aware of. Now, the sun, the heat of the earth or waste heat from industry help producing the steam that drives the steam turbine, which in the past was generated by burning coal. Also, hydrogen, methane and biogas EuropeanorAssociation Gasbe andincreasingly Steam Turbine Manufacturers hosted VDMAturbines.

Did you know? Turbines are often used as a compressor drive in LNGplants. They ensure variable speed operation, full pressure start-up and high reliability of the plant.

Compressing air and pumping fluids

From chemical plants to ice cream factories, many industries need heat or cold to run their processes. Turbines can be used to provide at the same time heating or cooling and electrical power. This is called cogeneration, or – if all three options are provided – trigeneration.

Pneumatic tools are used in many industrial processes. They are powered by compressed air which is generated by compressors and stored. These compressors can be driven by turbines. Pumps driven by turbines are used in municipal or waste water utilities or flood control. The turbines used are often aeroderivates.
