text: Although gas turbines operating in simple cycle are less efficient, with thermal efficiencies between 35 and 45%, they have greater operational flexibility, including shorter start times (achieving full power in as little as 10 minutes), load following (ability to increase or decrease power output as the demand for electricity changes) and cyclic capabilities (typically operating only during periods of peak demand, often starting to meet peak demand, and then shutting down as demand decreases, e.g. overnight).
text: Gas turbines operating in simple cycle are favored for their ability to provide power during periods of high demand (peakers) and more recently for balancing power demand with renewable energy sources, e.g. solar and wind power.
