Turbines range from the air turbine in dentists drill to very large units at steam power plannt. There is no way to deterine the average size.
Gas turbine power input typically refers to the thermal energy generated from burning fuel, measured in megajoules (MJ) or British thermal units (BTU). For example, a typical industrial gas turbine may have a power input of around 1,200 to 1,700 MJ/hr. The power output, however, can vary widely depending on the turbine design and application, with modern gas turbines generating between 10 to 400 megawatts (MW) of electrical power. Efficiency rates can range from 30% to over 60% in combined cycle configurations.
To obtain as much mechanical energy from the steam produced in the plant's steam raising units as possible, it is expanded through increasing sized turbine wheels, eventually expanding into a vacuum in the turbine condenser before condensing and returning to the steam cycle.
Yes the James F. Crist Generating Plant located in Pensacola, Florida burns coal to both heat and turn water into steam which is used to turn a turbine connected to an electrical generator which produces the electricity. It's total generating capacity is 970,000 KW, and it has four (4) generating units.
The Huntly Power Station in New Zealand was built in stages, with the first unit commissioned in 1983 followed by further units in subsequent years. The station is located in Huntly, Waikato, and is one of the largest thermal power stations in New Zealand.
A turbine trip is an automatic shutdoen to protect the wquipment from over-speed damage. It is similar to blowing a fuse on an electrical system die to a short circuit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any device which will instantly shut down the turbine. There are high vibration trips, overspeed trips, high bearing temperature trips, low lube oil pressure trips, eccentricity trips, axial position trips, and for generating units: out of phase trips, low voltage trips, high voltage trips, reverse power trips, power to ground trips, and a few others.
The power output of a gas turbine can vary significantly based on its design and size, typically ranging from a few megawatts (MW) for small industrial units to over 400 MW for large combined-cycle power plants. On average, industrial gas turbines produce between 10 to 50 MW. In combined-cycle configurations, where a gas turbine is paired with a steam turbine, the total output can exceed 600 MW. The efficiency and output depend on factors such as the turbine's design, operating conditions, and the type of fuel used.

Intensity can be measured by converting units of electrical power in to decibels.
You've misunderstood something in order to even be able to ask that question. A watt is a measure of power, which is an instantaneous value. A 1.8 MW turbine produces 1.8 MW whenever it's turning at its rated speed. It sounds like you want to measure energy, which is power multiplied by time. If your power units are watts and your time units are seconds, then you get energy in joules (there are roughly 31.5 million seconds in a year, so if the turbine is at full speed the whole time, you get about 56.8 terajoules of energy).
Industrial turbines have many uses. The primary use of turbines today is Electrical Generation. Small turbines are used to operate pumps, compressors and other machinery, and they are used as propulsion units on most ships. These turbines range in size from 10 hp oil pump drives to 1.5 million horsepower generating units.
Turbine frame size refers to the physical dimensions and structural characteristics of a turbine's casing or frame, which houses the turbine components such as the rotor, stator, and other essential parts. It impacts the turbine's performance, efficiency, and capacity, influencing how it fits into a power generation system. Frame sizes are often categorized based on the output power they are designed to handle, ranging from small-scale turbines to large industrial units. Proper sizing is crucial for optimal operation and integration into energy systems.
