Recognizing these engineering feats of the past not only pays homage to the pioneers who developed #gasturbine technologies but also to the next generations who continually improve design and performance. Congratulations to the City of Ottawa, Kansas, ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers), GE Vernova, and Combined Cycle Journal for showcasing this Frame 3 STAG unit. #turbines #steamturbines #combinedcycle #powergeneration #powerindustry #electricity #energytransition
