China's problems with industrial/power gas turbine came from in 1) lack of demand and investment - natural gas is just not that important in China's energy mix and 2) Too many competing companies that don't work together. Chinese aero engine industry, marine turbine industry and traditional power generator industry all had their own power gas turbine project. Chinese marine gas turbine industry would rather buy a German gas turbine company and had their balls clutched by the German government than working with the Chinese aero engine industry, for example.
oh please, not again. first in ''Engine Thread'' now same outdated shit on this thread..
you said.. 1) lack of investment.
you know how much money Chinese institutes/firms have spend in past decade just to breakthrough the deadlock in heavy duty gas turbine, alone Dongfeng Electric spend 50+ Billion RMB in research. Harbin and Shanghai electric did invest Billions of RMB in gas turbine related technologies..
second point.. 2) Too many competing companies that don't work together
this is again completely wrong. if you read ''300mw gas turbine'' news. you might not write this.
''the 300-MW F-class heavy-duty gas turbine that went offline this time was developed by more than 200 companies, scientific research institutes, universities, etc. from 19 provinces and cities including Beijing, Liaoning, Shanghai, and Jiangsu''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is AGT-110 heavy duty gas turbine developed by Chinese aero engine companies. collective effort
This is 50mw F class heavy duty gas turbine developed by Dongfang Electric Corporation. it took 13 years..
this is 300mw F class heavy duty gas turbine developed by ''Shanghai Electric'' in collaboration with 200+ different Chinese companies.. recently rolled off from the production line

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now you see different heavy duty gas turbine projects undertaken by different Chinese companies and all were successful. and all projects were the collective effort..
so what you said is completely outdated and misinformation.. its your own perception and have nothing to do with Chinese gas turbine industry..
