RE: GAS-L: Gas turbines



TPS is quoted as stating:

Can TPS provide info as to what type of "conventional CHP plant" is taken as
a reference for the above statement?
That must be an "oldie" CHP reference plant allright!
At best an old fashioned grade fired wood boiler.

I respectfully submit that to produce a factor of 2 more electricity from
biofuels with a TPS BGCC is pushing it a bit. 
How about 25% more electicity, rather than the 100% more, as goal for the
next 5-10 years?
