EthosEnergy delivers independent gas turbine testing and performance validation for Siemens Energy and Solar® models up to 15MW. Our Aberdeen and Houston facilities provide mechanical integrity verification, full-load performance testing, advanced vibration analysis, and emissions mapping and certification, and with remote and onsite customer witness capabilities and transparent reporting.
Tested to Perform. Built to Last.
Reinstalling a turbine without thorough testing is a risk you don’t need to take. Performance issues discovered in the field can lead to costly mobilizations, extended downtime and uncertainty about what went wrong.
EthosEnergy removes that risk. Our Aberdeen and Houston facilities replicate real world operating conditions with mechanical integrity checks, full-load testing, and emissions validation before your turbine leaves our facility. Every unit is tested on pipeline gas or diesel fuel under the loads you require and with data that proves compliance.
Customer witness testing and remote access provide complete transparency. You see results in real time and approve performance before shipping, to turn uncertainty into confidence.
57% Power Boost in 6 Days: Taurus™ 60 Engine Replacement
When a California operator needed to replace their aging Centaur® 40 with a larger Taurus™ 60 engine, they had one constraint: a seven-day outage window. EthosEnergy delivered in six.
Our team executed a complete engine swap: including all mechanical and electrical adaptations, control system upgrades, burner acoustics monitoring installation, and full commissioning, in under a week.
The result: Power output jumped 57% (from 2.8 MW to 3.2 MW), achieving 100% self-sufficient generation with improved reliability.
This project demonstrates how EthosEnergy combines rapid mobilization, advanced testing capabilities, and precise execution to deliver complex upgrades within critical time constraints.
Full-Load Test Cell Capabilities for Siemens Energy and Solar® Gas Turbines
At EthosEnergy our Aberdeen and Houston test cells run your turbine at actual operating loads, on your fuel type, under real-world conditions, catching issues that bench tests miss.
Every unit undergoes rigorous inspection, mechanical integrity, emissions, and performance testing under real operating conditions to ensure OEM-standard reliability, extended asset life, and maximum operational efficiency.
Our facilities are purpose-built for sub-15MW turbines.
