Costs of some components of combined cycle power plants

AI Thread Summary
Costs for components of combined cycle power plants, such as turbines and generators, are not readily available online due to their custom nature. Typically, a specification document and preliminary design are created to solicit bids from suppliers, which detail costs and delivery timelines. Large turbines and generators can cost millions and may take months to manufacture and deliver. The overall cost of constructing a power plant, including land and equipment, can exceed $1 billion depending on output requirements. For accurate pricing, contacting manufacturers directly or researching recent power plant construction articles is advisable.

hello all
I want to find costs of some components of a combined cycle power plants.like turbine.generator and ...
how can I find them?

Most of these components are not available off the shelf, so you typically won't be able to go shopping for them online and find price information.

In the construction of a power plant, a specification document is prepared along with a preliminary design for the plant. These documents are used to solicit bids from suppliers of turbines, generators, boilers, and other equipment used to build the plant. The bids from the suppliers will provide details on the cost and delivery date of the equipment. Certain items, like turbines and generators often take several months to construct and deliver once an order is placed with the supplier, depending on the supplier's backlog. The cost for a large turbine or generator could run into the millions of dollars. The total cost of acquiring the land, constructing the power plant building,and purchasing all of the equipment can run to $1 billion or more, depending on the desired output of the plant.

If you want more accurate numbers, I recommend that you contact manufacturers of the various items of equipment and see if they are willing to share pricing data for their products. Another approach would be to research articles on the construction of power plants in civil engineering or power plant publications, and find articles dealing with recent power plant projects.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
