Global perspective

From Berlin to the world

1,000 gas turbines were manufactured in the Siemens factory in Berlin between 1972 and 2016.

Historical review

The heart of heavy duty gas turbines is the proven High Technology Blade Design. The combination of cooling and coating guarantees that blades always “keep their cool” – even at temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Celsius.

Technological challenges for gas turbines

The 1,000th gas turbine is destined for the Umm Al Houl combined cycle power plant in Qatar.
