Doosan Enerbility will supply 370MW-class steam turbines (photo) and generators to a U.S. company. This is the first time that Doosan is exporting steam turbines to the North American market.

Doosan Enerbility announced on the 18th that it had signed a contract with a U.S. company to supply two units each of 370MW-class steam turbines and generators. A steam turbine is a facility that produces additional power by utilizing the heat generated from a gas turbine. Because this “combined cycle” method uses natural gas to drive a gas turbine and then uses the resulting heat to drive a steam turbine once more, it can significantly increase energy efficiency.

Doosan Enerbility expects that this steam turbine order will validate its technological capabilities and enable it to secure an advantage in the future competition for large-scale combined-cycle power generation projects. In particular, with the recent sharp increase in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers driving growth in the power generation market, the company plans to step up exports of combined-cycle power generation systems.

The company stated, “In particular, we will accelerate exports targeting independent power producers and other private power project operators in the North American region,” adding, “We will solidify our market position as a comprehensive supplier of power generation turbines going forward.”
