Steam and gas turbine electrification

Supporting our customers in the energy transition to decarbonize operations, increase energy efficiency, secure supply, and lower costs.

Electrification in  various industries is no longer a growing trend or a simple ‘nice to have’ – it is a critical element to business success and growth for both environment and economic reasons. The energy transition is being rapidly driven on two fronts: political commitment from nations towards net zero, and more and more companies implementing their sustainability strategies.

A major contributor to the energy transition is the replacement of turbines that are one of the most important machines in energy conversion. Traditionally high-power process compressors or pumps were driven by mechanical drivers, such as gas and steam turbines or engines. Their fuel is fossil-based such as oil, gas or coal. Hence, these mechanical drivers are detrimental as they have high carbon emissions, alongside significant CAPEX and OPEX investment. 

Utilizing reliable ABB drive solutions, that are designed and built on decades of experience, can support customers across different industry segments to electrify operations. Our domain expertise, combined with an extensive product portfolio, delivers electric solutions that can replace the need for mechanical turbines in both brownfield and greenfield operations. 

Performance and reliability for mission critical applications

Benefits of leveraging the power of electricity

A few of the benefits of installing electric drivetrains into operations are obvious:

  • lower CO2 emissions,
  • increased energy efficiency,
  • and lower total cost of ownership.

However, there are many additional benefits that are less obvious:
