Power Generation :: Dual Driven Generatrors

FT8 Twin Pac with SSS Clutches supplied by MAN Turbo for SOLVAY ALKALI Rotating equipment for FT8 Twin Pac - SSS Clutches in yellow

SSS Clutches enable a single generator to be driven by more than one driver giving...

• Low capital cost
• Small footprint
• Flexible, efficient operation across a wide power range
• Redundancy

The example shown uses SSS Clutches to connect two FT8 gas turbines (27MW each at 3000rpm) to a single generator allowing power generation even when one GT is shutdown for maintenance. SSS Clutches have already been supplied for dual driven generators with turbines between 500kW and 300MW nominal power.
