TURBOPHASE: Peaking power from your combined cycle plant- Quick Response
- 100% capacity output even on hot days
FASTLIGHT: Reduce turbine heat rate by up to 50%- Using long-duration stored compressed air
- Meet the peaks in minutes even when fuel is constrained
INCREASE PROFITABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE
Powerphase has innovated adaptive solutions for transforming the gas turbine to economically support the transition to a low carbon future. Powerphase has accomplished this through two solutions, "Turbophase" and "Fastlight Energy Storage".
Turbophase is an advanced aerothermal solution, dramatically enhancing gas turbine peak dispatch responsiveness, output, efficiency, and profitability, with no heat rate penalty and no maintenance penalty.
Fastlight Energy Storage solution also enables operators to profit directly from storage by converting existing gas turbines. With half the cost, three times the life, and none of the hazards of batteries. Fastlight-equipped gas turbines can facilitate and leverage the power of renewable energy, giving grid and fleet operators faster, longer-lived, insurable, and less costly paths through the energy transition.
Turbophase Air Injection
Increase the output of your power plant, upgrade your gas turbine.
Our Turbophase Module is an air injection system that increases the capacity and efficiency of a gas or liquid fuel fired combustion turbine power plant by up to 20%, regardless of the ambient conditions. Our OEM-friendly modules, when added to combined cycle plants, allows owners to reduce simple cycle plants starting, saving on fuel costs startup and O&M.
Fastlight Energy Storage
Take more profitable advantage of arbitrage pricing, or enhance the value of off-peak renewable energy, or both, with FSE proprietary conversion.
Our Fastlight Storage Engine (FSE) achieves long-duration energy storage by storing compressed air while converting existing gas turbines to be able to deliver 2-3 times the capacity of the nameplate GT, burning half the quantity of fuel for the same net output. This patented solution will allow your turbine to meet peak dispatch or play the arbitrage game profitably, even when fuel supplies are severely constrained. And do so with zero maintenance penalty and while staying within existing interconnection transmission limits. Unlike any other energy storage system, the FSE system also has an optional, non-degrading, continuous output capability.
Case Studies
Southeast Asia
Scalable Power to Match Industrial Park Growth in Southeast Asia
Powerphase engineers estimate that the power plant could increase its generating output by 10 percent, with 8 Turbophase modules, while building out far less than tenth of the plant’s current footprint. The high-tech park uses all of the plant’s power, and anticipates significant growth.

More Power & Efficiency on a 7FA in the Middle East
Powerphase demonstrated two Turbophase modules on a GE 7FA.03gas turbines at the SEC Faras power plant. The technology proved to be flexible, highly available, and that it could improve gas turbine heat rate performance by 5% during Saudi Arabian summers.

More Power & Flexibility Lead to Profits at a Cogen Plant in PJM
Each Turbophase module boosted GT performance by 3.2 MW and ST performance by 0.45 MW, for a total plant performance boost of 7.3 MW. Since the initial 2014 installation and testing at the Morris plant, Powerphase engineers have improved Turbophase efficiency. Today, Turbophase systems achieve 10% additional flow by optimizing the compressor for a lower pressure ratio used by the B/E class gas turbines.
