Gas Turbine Efficiency Map

Legacy power plant units (2009 or earlier) are generally excluded. Emissions data is estimated based on an empirical relation using turbine class or turbine inlet temperature when known. Turbine operational data is gathered from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) monthly reports (EIA-860 and EIA-923) as well as independent public resources.”
