Power Generation :: Spinning Reserve

SSS Clutch to transmit 50MW at 3600rpm at Commonwealth Chesapeake Power. LM6000 Peak load GT generators at Commonwealth Chesapeake Power LLC.

An SSS Clutch installed between the turbine and the generator enables machines to qualify as Spinning Reserve by maintaining the generator synchronised with the grid while the turbine is stationary on standby but readily available for peak load generation.

Power Station owners with an SSS Clutch are earning revenue even with their gas turbines stopped.
