40% efficiency at this power level is very respectable and is just another sign that gas turbine problem is stopping being a problem.

I want to ask something. Is it really for ships? The fuel is listed as natural gas and its airflow is 24% higher despite less than half the RPM compared to the new LM2500. That would mean a big turbine. Looks like an engine designed for long lifespan and reliability rather than power density.

This turbine is for power generation. I originally posted this in the Engine Development thread, and it was subsequently moved here by a mod. Neither thread is entirely appropriate, but here is better.

The AGT-7 gas turbine is a 7MW-class gas turbine derived from WS-10 Taihang. Suitable for marine propulsion. Civilian applications include power generation for offshore oil and gas platforms, backup power generation, etc.

Some specs:
– Power: 6850kW
– Generator efficiency: 32.1%
– Exhaust flow rate: 27.6kg/s
– Exhaust temperature: 560°C
– Output rotational speed: 8300rpm

The world's first 30MW hydrogen gas turbine has

.
The 30MW hydrogen gas turbine, independently developed by Wuxi Mingyang Hydrogen Combustion Power Technology Co, a subsidiary of Mingyang Group, rolled off the production line on December 26. This is the world's first 30MW-level pure hydrogen gas turbine, equipped with Mingyang's self-developed "Jupiter I" pure hydrogen combustion chamber, can achieve 100% pure hydrogen combustion and true "zero carbon emission".

The newly completed hydrogen gas turbine is specifically designed for the desert, gobi, and wilderness areas and large base projects. The maximum hydrogen consumption per hour is 38,000 cubic meters, and it can consume 10,000 tons of green hydrogen every year, which is equivalent to the annual hydrogen consumption of 50,000 hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicles. It can generate nearly 200 million kWh of electricity annually.

Thanks, I should've posted on this thread too.

the interesting part is that they made it sound like it was also tested on aeroengine testbed

So it could be that we have a hydrogen GT and aeroengine in the near future

What is the application of hydrogen GT for marine propulsion?
Nothing to do with ships. maybe used as clean energy. Using photovoltaic electricity to manufacture, then liquefy hydrogen with electricity, complete the stabilization of power output from the grid, and finally burn the liquefied hydrogen to generate electricity.
