Industrial Gas Turbines: These are typically used in power plants for electricity generation. They are large-scale and high-capacity turbines, designed for continuous operation. Aeroderivative Gas Turbines: These are derived from jet engine designs and are typically smaller, lighter, and more efficient than industrial gas turbines.

Natural gas power plants generate electricity by burning natural gas as their fuel.There are many types of natural gas power plants which all generate electricity, but serve different purposes. All natural gas plants use a gas turbine; natural gas is added, along with a stream of air, which combusts and expands through this turbine causing a generator to

Modern low emissions gas turbines are sensitive to variations in natural gas composition. As variations have typically been relatively small and slow this has not historically caused major problems. Throughout Europe, the increasing dependence on natural gas imports is leading to increased gas composition variation within the distribution system. Due to the
