Survey records largest power generation order level in 20 year history

With the rapid changes that are underway in the electric power generation business around the world, we expect that the diesel and gas turbine industry should anticipate continued strength and growth in the power generation markets for the rest of the 199Os and into the early part of the next century. This 20th year of the survey shows a total output level of 30000 MW for gas turbine generators for the first time. For reciprocating engine generators, this year`s survey shows orders of nearly 5000 units and a total output of almost 10000 MW, which are also record highs for the survey. Turning to the marine auxiliary generating unit survey and the newly separated diesel-electric marine propulsion data, we see an excellent growth pattern as well. This article briefly discusses the results of the survey.
