Gas turbines play a preeminent role in the stationary power generation marketplace and are expected to remain a critical part of the market mix for the foreseeable future. Alternative technologies compete with gas turbines in certain size classes, but at power generation levels above 5 MW, gas turbines offer the most attractive option due to their relatively low capital, operating, and maintenance costs.
