Gas and Steam Turbines – Core Components for Power Generation A turbine is a rotating engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow. The rotating energy of the turbine can be converted into electrical energy by using a generator.
Gas and steam turbines are customised high-tech engines weighing up to 300 tonnes and measuring up to 12 x 3 metres. EEF Energy Mix Workshop, Udo Kremer, Brussels, 3 October 2006
