Higher as in 1, 200 degrees Celsius, which would heat air hot enough to run a high efficiency turbine like those used in fossil fuel power plants.

GE, on the other hand, decided to focus on one turbine size that met the needs of markets where tight spaces were not a constraint and devoted resources to optimizing the efficiency of that turbine model.

This will be the first commercial wind farm in the U.S. to deploy, at scale, turbines that use permanent magnet generators tech-speak for evolutionary turbine technology that will improve efficiency, reliability and grid connection capabilities.

The firm said the turbine would contribute to the energy efficiency of its farms and generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 364 homes.

With a gas turbine for a second stage, one is now operating at a 56% electrical efficiency and at natural gas pipeline stepdown substations, they operate at 60% efficiency.

Note that microturbines offer the highest electrical efficiency, up to about 5 MW, which is the size of the first traditional gas turbine offered in a recuperated model.
