A Revolutionary Combined Cycle Power Plant

The Synergic Superpeaker is engineered to set a new benchmark in combined cycle power generation. Leveraging proprietary systems and cutting-edge integration of aero-derivative gas turbines, once-through steam generators (OTSGs), and impulse-type steam turbines, the Superpeaker achieves unmatched performance, flexibility, and cost efficiency.

Unlike traditional combined cycle plants, the Superpeaker incorporates air cooling and aero-derivative gas turbines — an unconventional yet highly effective combination. This innovation enables rapid startup, higher efficiency, and lower maintenance costs, setting the Superpeaker apart from any other plant in its class.

Advanced Air Inlet System

The Superpeaker's air inlet system is meticulously designed to maximize gas turbine performance while minimizing degradation and maintenance costs.

Filtration and Chilling System

• Strategically located within each gas turbine hall at an optimal height to improve airflow.

• A large surface area reduces pressure drop and ensures consistent airflow.

• Total pressure drop remains lower than typical F-class systems, even with added HEPA and chilling stages.

Optimized Inlet Ducting

• Engineered to improve airflow characteristics and reduce turbulence.

• Enhances gas turbine efficiency.

Aero-derivative Gas Turbines

The Superpeaker employs aero-derivative gas turbines renowned for their exceptional flexibility, rapid startup capability, and high reliability. Compared to industrial turbines, these turbines offer quicker responsiveness, making them ideal for dynamic load management.

Gas Turbine Exhaust

The Superpeaker features a proprietary high-temperature refractory exhaust design that merges directly with the OTSG base, delivering several key advantages:

• Extended Length Design – Reduces resonance and improves exhaust temperature mixing.

• Heat Retention – Stores residual heat for faster and more efficient restarts.

• Noise Reduction – Quieter operation compared to traditional designs.

• Improved Performance – Enhances both gas turbine and OTSG efficiency.

• Lower Maintenance – Simplified design reduces wear and tear.

Once Through Steam Generators

The Superpeaker integrates state-of-the-art Once-Through Steam Generators (OTSGs) from Innovative Steam Technologies (IST). OTSGs are a key factor behind the Superpeaker's fast starts and high efficiency.

Key Benefits:

• Rapid Startup and Shutdown – Immediate response to changing grid demands.

• Compact Design – Smaller and lighter than traditional HRSGs, simplifying installation.

• Modular Configuration – Facilitates quick deployment and flexible scaling.

• No Diverter or Bypass Systems – Reduced complexity and maintenance.

• Full Dry Running Capability – Operates safely without water in the system.

• Lower Capital and Operating Costs – Lower lifecycle costs versus HRSGs.

• Environmental Sustainability – Reduced energy consumption and emissions.

• Cold-Weather Ready – Performs reliably in extreme temperatures without additional infrastructure.

• Low Maintenance – Minimal blow-down system requirements.

Impulse Type Steam Turbine

The Superpeaker's steam turbine is a two-pressure impulse-type design optimized for flexibility and reliability.

Impulse Design Advantages:

• Fast Start/Stop Cycles – Built for daily cycling with minimal stress on components.

• Wide Operating Range – Maintains high efficiency even at low flow rates.

• Lower Operating Temperatures and Pressures – Improves longevity and reduces maintenance needs.

• Reduced Maintenance – Fewer moving parts mean lower downtime and longer operational life.

Synergic DCC

The proprietary Synergic DCC distinguishes the Superpeaker plant by dramatically enhancing steam cycle responsiveness and flexibility, matching the performance characteristics of the aero-derivative gas turbines and OTSG.

Highlights of the Synergic DCC include:

• Continuous operational readiness, enabling instant startup capability.

• Zero maintenance requirements.

• Superior condensation efficiency compared to traditional tube-type condensers.

• Use of high-purity condensate as the cooling medium, maximizing system efficiency.

SynVane Coolers

SynVane Coolers represent the next generation in turbine blade cooling technology. These innovative cooling systems utilize advanced aerodynamic principles and precision-engineered cooling channels to maintain optimal blade temperatures.

The unique design allows for higher operating temperatures while extending component life, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements.

Tri-form Building

The Tri-form Building system revolutionizes power plant construction with its innovative modular design approach. This advanced construction methodology combines three key elements: rapid assembly, optimal space utilization, and enhanced structural integrity.

By utilizing pre-engineered components and smart integration techniques, the Tri-form system significantly reduces construction time while ensuring superior quality and reliability in power plant infrastructure.

The Future of Energy Technology

The unique attributes of the Synergic plant are what is needed for most current and future power markets. Synergic believes that the successful completion of the first project will create hundreds of opportunities in North America alone and even more globally.
