What is the start up time for gas power station?

Answer 1

It depends on size and regulatory "red tape". One wind power proposal in the Eastern US has been stalled for more than 15 years due to regulatory blocks and court battles. No doubt solar projects in the Western US face similar problems.

Answer 2

The load-following capability, or dispatchability, of the bubbling fluidized bed units

depends on the startup, ramp, and shutdown period requirements as shown below. The

best load-following scenario for these facilities is operating the units at maximum load

during peak/partial peak periods, then reducing to minimum load during off-peak periods.

The generating units may be taken completely offline on weekends and holidays and

started up for normal weekdays.

From hot shutdown to maximum load, h 5 5 5

From min. load to maximum load or vice versa, h 1 1 1

From maximum or minimum load to zero, h 0.5 0.5 0.5

From synchronization to maximum load, h 2 2 2

From hot shutdown condition to cold shutdown

(unforced), h 60 60 60

Sustained minimum load, MW 6 6 14

Answer 3

Years! At least five, and maybe twenty.

First they have to find a suitable site, the mouth of a river or a bay with a very small outlet to the sea, where the tides flow fast and a large body of water can build up behind the barrage at high tide.

Then they decide what kind of power station. A barrage is very like a dam. It blocks the whole way across but allows the water to move through both ways turning turbines when the tide is moving. Barrages are expensive and have disadvantages like blocking shipping and the movements of fish. Barrages also allow silt to build up behind them, cutting down on the amount of water available.

Other methods are various kinds of turbines on the bed of the river that will turn in the water flow. They don't capture as much water movement as the barrages but they are cheaper and don't block up the entrance as much as barrages.

They will need a supply of money, either from the government, an electricity company or from investors. A lot of money will be spent before a single watt of electricity is produced.

They may need to build power lines to connect to the electricity grid, which might be far away.

Answer 4

You could do it in five years. The power station on the ground is almost the same as any fuel-burning power station. The difficulty is drilling several kilometres underground to the hot rocks below, and then drilling a similar shaft a little distance away for water to go down and then up again.

Answer 5

The start-up time for a gas power station typically ranges from 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and technology of the plant. Advanced combined cycle gas turbines can start up in as little as 5 to 10 minutes, while older gas-fired plants may take longer to reach full capacity.
