OpFlex Fast Start
With OpFlex Fast Start, you can achieve 10-15 minute simple-cycle start times, burn less startup fuel, reduce start emissions, and potentially capture additional ancillary service revenue.
Today’s challenge for operators
Getting online faster
Being empowered with the operational muscle to quickly respond in today’s fiercely competitive power industries can play a major role in growing your bottom line. By positioning your plant to provide non-spinning reserve services, you can be prepared to capture an abundance of new revenue opportunities driven by increased intermittent renewables on the power grid.
OpFlex Fast Start features
- Shortened purge duration
- Fire on the fly: Ignition immediately after purge; no deceleration or warm-up hold
- Increased acceleration rate
- Increased load rate
- Reduced transient over-fire … lower maintenance factor (≤5:1)
- AutoRecover (for DLN): Lean-lean to premix transfer at base load
- Flexible acceleration/loading options
- Reduced fuel consumption: ~30% of normal start

Purge Credit
Combined control software and valve hardware system to enable purge to be conducted during prior shutdown, followed by isolation of the fuel manifold with a valve system, such that purge can be skipped on start-up, enabling 15+ min. combined cycle start time savings (NFPA- 85 compliant).

Start-up Assurance
Simplified start permissives, automated system pre-start checks (various pumps, fans, valves), and HMI start-up sequence screens to reduce the number of failed starts.

Sliding Fuel Pressure Control
Reduce your gas fuel supply pressure (P2) requirements during start-up and operation to better accommodate low or fluctuating pressure, and possibly enable reduced gas compressor usage. Additionally, Sliding Fuel Pressure Control can reduce likelihood of trips or runbacks.
