Current Studies on the Gas Turbine Generator

TMT has completed the design process of a 130 kW gas turbine technology demonstrator and has successfully carried out its initial test program.

The first ignition (First Engine To Test) of the gas turbine that powers the generator was successfully completed on March 1, 2025, and the subsequent follow-up tests were also successfully concluded on May 3, 2025
