GE and Southern California Edison (SCE) have unveiled what they claim is the “world’s first battery-gas turbine hybrid system”.
The system in Norwalk, California, is the first of two units that GE has delivered for SCE only months after announcing the initial deployment for the technology.
This system is called the LM6000 Hybrid Electric Gas Turbine (Hybrid EGT) and it supports SCE’s increasing renewable energy capacity by providing quick start, fast-ramping capabilities when needed.
