Westinghouse W501D Combustion Turbine: Guide to Systems and Applications
Westinghouse Electric Corporation
Turbines
This manual was produced to provide customers with a useful source of information about the Westinghouse W501D5 100MW combustion turbine (a.k.a. gas turbine) power-generating unit. The information describes the various subsystems comprising the packaged power generating unit (called the Westinghouse ECONOPAC') and also provides all of the performance data and correction curves for application of the W501D5 to customer's specific projects. The W501D5 was an improved version of the prior W501D design, introduced in 1980.

A paper published in 1994 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Written by A. J. Scalzo, R. L. Bannister, M. DeCorso, and G. S. Howard, this paper provides a concise compilation of the history of Westinghouse Electric's combustion turbine technology, from its origins in the early development of a U.S.-built aviation gas turbine for jet propulsion during World War II, through the early industrial applications starting in 1948, and continuing through decades of evolution of the heavy duty power generation machines up to and including the advanced 160MW W501F.

Westinghouse W-501D 100 MW Single Shaft Heavy Duty Combustion Turbine

In 1980, Westinghouse Electric introduced a redesigned and uprated model W501D combustion (gas) turbine nominally rated at 100MW. This document is a reprint of an article published in the <em>International Power Generation</em> magazine in the United Kingdom in time for distribution at the 1981 American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Gas Turbine Conference and Expo in London. The W501D introduced at that time was later called the W501D5 and, after initial sales and field testing, was offered at a rating of approximately 105MW.<br /><br />The article describes the many new design features that represented significant upgrades and improvements over the previous version of the W501D. It also describes the various applications of the gas turbine including simple cycle "EconoPac," combined cycle and operation with alternative fuels such as gasified coal. The W501D5 was the largest and most efficient heavy duty 60Hz (3600RPM) gas turbine in the world at the time.
