Basin Electric's Groton Generation Station near Groton, SD, was recently named one of POWER Magazine's Top Plants: six model gas-fired plants for 2007.
Dr. Robert Peltier, editor-in-chief of the magazine and author of the article, said that Groton Station's "claim to fame" was the plant's commercial debut of General Electric's LMS 100 gas turbine-generator, {which} "demonstrated top-notch operating flexibility in peaking, mid-range, and baseload service, thanks to capabilities such as 10-minute cold start-ups and minimal impact on heat rate at partial loads." He also noted that "... Groton Generating Station earns recognition as one of POWER's Top Plants for the attention its design pays to reliability and resource planning."
The three-page article spotlighting the Groton Station appeared in the September 2007 issue of Power magazine.
