Benefits

How 7F AGP upgrades can address your needs

Many power producers have specific goals, including the challenge of adapting to a changing power grid with ever-increasing renewable generation, rapid load growth, and coal plant retirement. This creates the need for:

  • Improved output and efficiency for better performance and plant economics in day-ahead and real-time energy industries
  • Increased dispatchable capacity to support intermittent renewables
  • Expanded emissions-compliant load range for flexible operations via pairing with DLN 2.6+ combustion system upgrades

The 7F AGP is a set of solutions that can be configured to achieve the specific performance needed to help solve the challenges you face today and in the future.

Solutions

7F AGP upgrade options, find your path

Choose the solution that aligns with your plant and specific goals. If you're looking for additional capacity beyond what AGP provides, consider the 7F.04-200 upgrade that integrates compressor and rotor end of life solutions. If you'd like to speak to an expert about the right package for you, reach out here.
