| Combustion Turbines |
| Strengths |
Weaknesses |
| High efficiency and low cost (particularly in large systems) |
Reduced efficiencies at part load |
| Readily available over a wide range of power output |
Sensitivity to ambient conditions (temperature, altitude) |
| Capability of producing high-temperature steam using exhaust heat |
Small system cost and efficiency not as good as larger systems |
| Marketing and customer servicing channels are well established |
|
| High power-to-weight ratio |
|
| Proven reliability and availability |
