Publications

For decades Gas Turbine World has been serving the global community of gas turbine designers, manufacturers, buyers and users through targeted peer-to-peer publications that address their need for practical information in easily referenced formats.

Our suite of print publications comprises a magazine complemented by the annual Performance Specs issue and the GTW Handbook, which has become an industry-benchmark project reference for power plant planning, evaluation and equipment procurement.

Handbook

A practical information resource for reference during all phases of project planning and development from preliminary engineering and economic studies, bid specifications, evaluation and equipment selection, through plant commissioning and operation and maintenance.

Annually updated and timely, material covers new additions to production series gas turbines; latest OEM design performance specifications; benchmark $/kW prices for simple cycle plants, combined cycle plants, and mechanical drive units, annual project orders and installations around the world.

Regularly used by application engineers, developers, owner-operators, consultants, buyers and specifiers working on new gas turbine projects and conversion or expansion of existing gas turbine assets.

Performance Specs

Updated OEM performance ratings of all gas turbine models on the market for electric utility, oil & gas, petrochemical, industrial and marine power projects. 37th Edition is available in print. Also available in digital format — 60 Hz Digital Specs (CLICK HERE) and 50 Hz Digital Specs (CLICK HERE)

Separate reference sections for simple cycle, combined cycle, mechanical drive and marine operation. Listings are searchable by OEM name and model designation.

Performance data based on ISO standard conditions, with correction factors to adjust ratings for non-standard site and operating conditions.

Widely used by application engineers, owner-operators, consultants  and prospective end users to select and evaluate gas turbine models best suited to project interests and requirements.

Magazine

Founded in 1970, at the dawn of widespread industrial and electric utility acceptance of gas turbines for power generation, the magazine has been steadily reporting on development and deployment of gas turbines around the world in technical depth and real world context.

We write for a tough, demanding readership of practitioners: a mix of gas turbine designers, specifiers and builders, project application engineers, developers, owners, operators and consultants who share a common interest in the effective and profitable application of gas turbine power.

What sets us apart is our emphasis on the application of advanced technologies that extend the envelope of gas turbine performance in measures running the gamut from power rating, efficiency and emissions to plant reliability, operating flexibility, durability and life-cycle costs.

We take the job seriously – providing technical insight that addresses the interests of gas turbine engineers, buyers and end users.

Forecast

GTW’s 10-year forecast is used by gas turbine OEMs, supply-chain equipment vendors, aftermarket product and service providers, and the investment community.

Updated annually to assess the  impact of changing industry demand and supply on near-term and long range market potential, product sales, engineering, R&D, manufacturing, scheduling, staffing, budgeting and operations.

Deliverables include an analytic report, market sector data, and an Excel file of baseline, upside and downside forecasts of OEM gas turbine model orders, year-by-year, and model market value.
