Abstract
This presentation provides an overview of gas turbine generators, beginning with their long history and moving on to their physical, electrical, operating and cost characteristics. The presentation concludes with a selection of important gas turbine generator applications, including cost estimates. The example applications include providing base load power, utility peak shaving, customer peak shaving, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and standby service
