How do hybrid gas turbine systems generally achieve better emissions control?

Hybrid gas turbine systems achieve better emissions control primarily by integrating batteries and other power sources. This combination allows the system to optimize operations by leveraging the strengths of each energy source.

When gas turbines are paired with batteries or renewable energy sources like solar or wind, the system can operate more efficiently, avoiding the use of the gas turbine in scenarios where lower power is sufficient. This helps in reducing the carbon emissions associated with fossil fuel combustion. Additionally, during peak demand, hybrid systems can switch to gas turbine power while relying on battery support during lower demand periods, effectively managing emissions across varying load conditions.

The use of complementary technologies in a hybrid system plays a critical role in enhancing efficiency and ensuring that emissions meet regulatory requirements, all while optimizing fuel consumption. This flexibility helps in achieving a cleaner energy output compared to systems relying solely on gas turbines.
