Leveraging aircraft experience and design, the aeroderivative design approach incorporates
features such as split castings, modular construction, individual replacement of internal and
external parts, and GE’s “lease pool” engine program. The extensive use of high quality
components common with its parent aircraft engine validates engine reliability and offers
reduced parts cost.
Various inspections and hot section repairs can be performed on the gas turbine at site within
the turbine enclosure. The “Hot Section”,HPT and combustor, can be removed/replaced in the
field within seventy-two hours allowing for greater availability during planned maintenance.
Greater availability is achieved by the on-condition maintenance program, which inspects and
repairs only as necessary to desired operational condition.

The LM6000 has two concentric rotor shafts: The LPC and LPT are assembled on one shaft,
forming the Low Pressure Rotor. The HPC and HPT are assembled on the other shaft,
forming the High Pressure Rotor.
The LM6000 uses the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) to power the output shaft. By eliminating
the separate power turbine found in many other gas turbines, the LM6000 design simplifies
the engine, improves fuel efficiency and permits direct-coupling to 3600 rpm generators for
60 Hz power generation. The LM6000 gas turbine drives the generator via a flexible dry type
coupling connected to the front, or “cold,” end of the LPC shaft.
• Filtered air enters the bellmouth and flows through guide vanes to the LPC
• LPC compresses air by 2.4:1 ratio
• Air flows from LPC through the front frame & bypass air collector to HPC
• Air enters HPC through Inlet Guide Vanes
• The HPC compresses air by 12:1 ratio
• 30 Fuel (SAC) nozzles or 75 fuel (DLE) nozzles mix air and fuel
• Air-Fuel mixture is ignited in Annular Combustor
• Hot combustion gases expand through HPT driving the HPC
• Hot combustion gasses expand further through LPT driving the LPC and load
• Flanged end of the LPC shaft drives the electric generator load.
• Exhaust gasses exit engine/package at the exhaust flange
Thirty nozzles feed fuel into the LM6000 annular combustor, providing a uniform heat profile
to the High Pressure Turbine (HPT). This produces maximum output with low thermal stress.
The swirler-cup dome design produces a lean thoroughly mixed, mixture in the primary zone
of the combustor. This provides cleaner combustion and reduces NOX. Available nozzle
designs allow natural gas, distillate or dual-fuel operation. The nozzles also permit NOX
reduction with water injection (natural gas and distillate fuels) and steam injection (natural
gas fuel only). The annular combustor design provides low pressure loss, low exit
temperature and extended operating life. A Hastelloy X inner liner resists corrosion and
extends combustor life.
The fuel system hardware supplied with the DLE gas turbine includes a base mounted gas
manifold, hoses, staging valves, and a set of thirty fuel premixers. The LM6000 DLE gas
turbine utilizes a lean premix combustion system designed for operation on natural gas fuel as
well as dual fuel. Gas fuel is introduced into the combustor via 75 air/gas premixers packaged
in 30 externally removable and replaceable modules. The premixers produce a very uniformly
mixed, lean fuel/air mixture. The triple annular configuration enables the combustor to
operate in premix mode across the entire power range, minimizing nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions even at low power.
The head end or dome of the combustor supports 75 segmented heat shields that form the
three annular burning zones in the combustor, known as the outer or A-dome, the pilot or B-
dome, and the inner or C-dome. In addition to forming the three annular domes, the heat
shields isolate the structural dome plate from the hot combustion gases. The heat shields are
an investment-cast superalloy and are impingement and convection cooled. The combustion
liners are front mounted with thermal barrier coating (TBC) and no film cooling.
Fuel to the gas turbine will be controlled based on control mode, fuel schedules, and the load
condition. For normal start sequence (13 minutes), gradual load changes are preferred with at
least 5-minute ramp from idle to maximum power. If a fast start (10 minutes) is required, the
load may be ramped from idle to full load in 4 minutes as part of the start sequence provided
in Operation. Normal load reduction transients should be no faster than 2-3 minutes from
maximum power to synchronous idle.
Pads are contained on the frame outer case for mounting of the two High Pressure
Compressor inlet temperature sensors.

The LM6000 static barrier filter removes more than 99.9% of all particles 5.0 micron and
larger by utilizing a three-stage design.
The filtered air is partitioned within the filter house assembly, providing combustion air for
the gas turbine and ventilation air for the turbine and generator compartments.
The filter is designed for easy maintenance. A ladder and platform provides access to service
doors on each filter section. Lighted internal walkways provide generous working room for
replacement and maintenance of the filter elements.
The filter housing is constructed of 3/16 inch / 76 mm (verify units) steel plate. Protective
paint is applied to the exterior and interior carbon steel surfaces.
Floors and drain pans downstream of the optional evaporative cooler media or optional inlet
air chiller coils are stainless steel to resist corrosion.
The high-efficiency cylindrical barrier filter elements are mounted to the filter face of the inlet
plenum and extend into the clean air plenum. The elements have extended surface area, large
dirt holding capacity and low-pressure drop. Air flows through the elements from inside to
outside keeping dirt safely trapped inside the element. The filter elements are designed
specifically for gas turbine protection, and are particularly effective in filtering particles 5
microns or larger.
Air passes through the barrier filters and enters the clean air plenum. This fabricated structure
is the center section of the inlet filter assembly and separates ventilation air from combustion
air.
Combustion air flows through a transition duct from the clean air plenum to the combustion
air inlet silencer. Ventilation air flows through transition ducts to the turbine and generator
compartment.
The inlet silencer is a low-pressure-drop device located in the combustion air stream before
the inlet volute. The silencer attenuates noise from the turbine and helps maintain the unit's
low noise level.
The inlet volute is stainless steel weldment that directs the combustion air flowing down from
the filter and turns it 90° to flow axially into the turbine inlet. Vanes within the volute smooth
the airflow and present a balanced air stream to the turbine bellmouth.
The turbine compartment contains an integral overhead bridge crane to facilitate engine
removal.
Enclosure walls are a “sandwich” construction filled with insulation blankets of high
temperature, sound attenuating material. The inner wall panel is fabricated from perforated
1.21 mm / 18-gauge stainless steel. The outer wall panel is 1.9 mm / 14-gauge cold rolled
carbon steel, painted with abrasion resistant, exterior quality epoxy paint.
The turbine and generator compartment walls are supported by a structural steel framework
that can withstand external wind loading and the internal pressure developed by the fire
extinguishing system. External door hinges, latches and mounting hardware are stainless steel
or chrome plated.
Ventilation air enters the turbine compartment around the inlet collector. Dual 125 hp / 93 kW
exhaust fans (1 running / 1 standby) create an induced-draft airflow of approximately 60,000
scfm / 1,699 m3.
Filtered air is forced into the generator compartment by dual 100 hp / 75 kW forced draft fans
(1 running / 1 stand-by) through ducts from the inlet air filter. The 45,000 scfm / 1,270
m3/min. airflow cools the generator and the generator compartment.
The ventilation fans produce a positive pressure in the generator compartment, providing
additional isolation from the turbine compartment for gas leak protection purposes. This
contributes to classification of the generator compartment as a non-hazardous area.
The LM6000 enclosure and air inlet silencer reduce the average near field noise to 85 dB (A)
at 3 ft. / 1.0 m from the enclosure and 5 ft / 1.5 m above grade.
Lower noise limits can be provided with optional silencing equipment. Noise control will
depend on the scope of the equipment supplied, the site plan, and project specific
requirements.
7.6 Baseplate
LM6000 generator sets are mounted on rugged I-beam baseplates to simplify shipping and
installation.
The basic equipment is supplied with the support structures consisting of a two-piece skid
assembly, which is sectioned between the gas turbine and the generator. The full depth, bolted
section is designed to provide the full structural properties of the wide flange I-beams. Full
depth crossmembers are utilized to provide a rigid design that meets the requirements of IBC
2006 and is therefore suitable for installation in earthquake areas. The baseplate support
system is enhanced by the installation of a heavy-duty, welded superstructure which utilizes 6
inch x 6 inch x 3/8 inch wall structural tubing for wall columns and roof beams.
The LM6000 gas turbine can be configured for gas, liquid or dual fuel operation. The basic
gas fuel system is described below. Other configurations are available as options.
A customer supplied pressure regulator, pressure relief valve and GE supplied manually
operated shut-off valve should be installed in the customer fuel supply system outside of main
unit.

Pressure transmitters monitor the fuel supply pressure up stream and downstream of the fuel
metering valve and forward the data to the fuel control and sequencer system. A platinum,
dual element temperature RTD monitors fuel supply temperature and forwards the data to the
fuel control and sequencer system.
Fuel shutoff valves manage gas flow to the combustor. Solenoid piloted fuel shutoff valves
are quick-closure valve assemblies located upstream and downstream of the gas fuel metering
valve. These fail-close valves are either fully open to allow fuel flow or fully closed to
prevent fuel flow.
During startup, the shutoff valves are opened and fuel flow to the gas manifold is metered by
the gas fuel metering valve. During shutdown, when the shutoff valves are closed, a solenoid-
operated vent valve opens to vent the fuel supply line between shutoff valves to a safe area.
A gas fuel drain valve opens during certain shutdown conditions to purge the gas manifold
and the engine.
The electronically controlled fuel valve provides accurate, non-pulsating fuel flow to the
turbine during starting, steady-state operation and dynamic load changes.
Low fuel gas pressure starting is possible, using the electrical output of the LM6000 to power
a fuel gas compressor. The LM6000 can start on a minimum 200 psig / 1,380 kPag fuel gas
pressure. At this pressure the LM6000 produces enough electrical power to start a fuel gas
compressor. The compressor then builds the fuel gas pressure up for full power output.
This “bootstrap” starting simplifies gas utility requirements and eliminates high electrical
“demand charges” for starting the gas compressor motors. Contact GE for your specific
application.
Dual shell and tube coolers with valves for on-line changeover are used to cool both turbine
and generator lube oil. The SLO & MLO coolers are mounted on the auxiliary module.
Lube oil piping, fittings and reservoirs are Type 304 stainless steel and valves have stainless
steel trim.
These two circuits cool, lubricate and protect the turbine. The turbine supply system contains
the following major components:
• SLO reservoir
• Supply pump
• Supply filter

Approximately 130 U.S. gallons / 492 l of synthetic lube oil are stored in the 150 U.S. gallon
/ 568 l capacity stainless steel reservoir mounted on the auxiliary module. The reservoir is
fitted with a low-level alarm switch, a level gauge, a level transmitter, a filler connection, and
a demister/flame arrestor. The reservoir also includes a thermostatically controlled heater and
a lube oil temperature transmitter.
A positive displacement lube oil pump, mounted on the gas turbine accessory drive gearbox,
takes suction from the lube oil reservoir. The pump discharge is filtered by a duplex, 6
micron (absolute), full-flow filter located on the auxiliary module. Filter elements can be
changed while the turbine is running.
The lube oil supply passes through an anti-siphon check valve and is distributed to the bearing
chambers, where oil is sprayed onto each engine bearing.
Pressure transmitters and temperature RTDs monitor lube oil supply with readout, alarm and
shutdown at the turbine control panel. Chip detectors in the A and B sumps and in the
common scavenge return provide alarms if metal chips are detected in the lube oil. A
differential pressure transmitter senses filter differential pressure and warns the operator of
dirty filter conditions.
Oil flows through the turbine bearings and accumulates in the bearing sumps. A 5-element
scavenge pump is connected to a low point drain in each sump. Whenever the engine is
turning the scavenge pump is working to remove oil from the sump drains.
The scavenge pump discharge flows through a 6 micron (absolute) duplex filter, then is
cooled by a shell and tube cooler, (1 running / 1 standby) and then returns the oil to the
reservoir.
A temperature RTD on each scavenge line measures temperature, with readout, alarm and
shutdown at the turbine control panel. A check valve on the pump discharge prevents
siphoning of oil back into the engine during shutdown.
Each bearing sump is vented by the air/oil separator system, consisting of a pre-separator, air-
to-oil cooler, and a final separator. Recovered oil drains back to the reservoir to reduce
emissions and oil consumption.
A shell and tube cooler (1 running / 1 standby) rejects 600,000 Btu/hr / 633,100 kJ/hr from the
turbine lube oil circuit. A thermostatic valve regulates the amount of hot oil that bypasses the
cooler.
The generator lube oil system has two lube oil circuits:
Supply System – Provides cool, filtered oil to the generator bearings. The supply system
contains the following major components:
• MLO reservoir
• AC pump
• Generator driven mechanical pump
• Four-element jacking oil pump
• Duplex shell and tube heat exchanger
• Duplex filter
Return System - Recovers the lube oil from the bearing drain sumps and returns it to the
reservoir.
The 60 Hz generator lubrication system provides approximately 174 Lpm/46 gpm of cooled
and filtered oil to the generator bearings
The generator/gearbox lube oil reservoir, pumps and filters are located on a separate lube oil
module. The lube oil filters may be changed while the unit is operating.
The simplex shell & tube coolers serving the generator lube oil system are also located on the
lube oil module. Filters have stainless steel plates. Valves have stainless steel trim.
The stainless steel reservoir includes a sight level gauge, fill connection and drain valve. A
switch provides a low-level alarm at the unit control panel. An immersion heater turns on at
32ºC falling temperature keeping the oil heated to prevent condensation when the unit is
stopped.
Rundown tanks provide additional protection if the AC lube pumps should fail, or if AC
power is lost. A DC pump provides coastdown protection.
The oil flows through the orifice and into the bearings and forms a film that cools and
lubricates the journal. Pressure switches at the bearing supply header provide low pressure
alarm and shutdown signals to the unit control panel.
If the supply pressure drops, a low lube oil pressure switch automatically starts the auxiliary
lube oil pump. An annunciator alarm indicates that the auxiliary pump is running. If the lube
oil pressure falls to a lower level, the turbine generator set shuts down.
The primary and auxiliary lube oil pumps can each supply 100% of the generator lube oil
requirements. Each pump is equipped with a pressure relief valve piped to the reservoir.
Lube oil pressure at the supply header is controlled by a pressure-regulating valve, which
bypasses excessive oil flow to the reservoir. Duplex coolers are provided to reject 198.1
MJ/hr from the generator lube oil circuit. The amount of hot oil that bypasses the cooler is
regulated by a thermostatic valve.
The duplex generator / gearbox lube oil filters (6 micron absolute) are mounted on the lube oil

Each bearing has a gravity drain and sight glass to visually verify oil flow. A dual element
RTD is embedded in each generator bearing to measure the actual metal temperature. These
RTDs are continuously monitored at the unit control panel and provide alarm and trip signals
at 183°F/91.6°C and 194°F/95ºC, respectively. The gearbox has a turning gear to rotate the
shaft. The gearbox bearing RTDs alarm and trip at 225°F/107ºC and 241°F/116ºC
respectively.
For starting and water wash cycles, we lift the generator rotor off the bearing seats with a film
of high-pressure oil from a small “jacking oil” pump. The oil film reduces bearing friction
and helps the rotor “break away” and begin turning.
The hydraulic start system consists of a hydraulic starting motor / clutch mounted on the
turbine accessory gearbox, the following equipment mounted on the auxiliary module:
During each start cycle a charge-pump portion of the main pump draws fluid from the
reservoir to prime the system and supply control oil. Controls modulate the main pump flow
from zero to approximately 55 gpm / 208 Lpm during the starting cycle. This permits accurate
control of gas generator speed for purging, ignition and acceleration. The starter pump
increases the hydraulic fluid pressure and delivers the pressurized fluid to the hydraulic starter
motor. A portion of the return fluid from the starter motor is routed back to the starter pump.
Before reaching the main hydraulic pump on the auxiliary skid, the oil is filtered through a
low-pressure, return filter.
Low-pressure hydraulic fluid from the starter motor case is routed off the main skid to the
auxiliary skid. On the auxiliary skid, the hydraulic fluid flows through a case drain return
filter and a air to oil heat exchanger before returning to the reservoir.
The starter accelerates the gas generator to 2,300 rpm and cranks for two minutes in typical
simple cycle applications. This forces purging air through the gas turbine and exhaust stack
to remove hydrocarbons that may have accumulated during the prior shutdown.
Air-flow during the purge cycle is approximately 7842 scfm / 12,600 Nm3/h / 10 lbs/sec.
After the purge cycle, the gas generator is slowed to 1700 rpm for light off. Fuel is initiated,
igniters are actuated, and the turbine starts. Then the starter and the combustion accelerate the
gas generator to 4500 rpm where the starter disengages automatically.
The gas generator continues to accelerate until it reaches idle speed. The turbine is now self-
sustaining.
Overall start time varies with stack height; also units with heat recovery steam generators will
require a longer purge cycle, typically 15 to 30 minutes.
A water/anti-freeze mixture must be used for dilution and rinsing in ambient temperatures of
50 °F / 10 °C, or below.
The package enclosure is designed to reduce the hazard of fire and explosion. A wall
separates the turbine and generator compartments to provide isolation. Ventilation systems,
with redundant fans, create a positive pressure in the generator compartment and a negative
pressure in the turbine compartment. This maintains separation and forces hydrocarbons
away from the generator. The enclosure is protected by gas detectors, thermal detectors,
optical flame detectors and a CO2 extinguishing system conforming to NFPA 12.
In addition to alarm and shutdown functions, the thermal spot detectors provide enclosure
temperature signals for the turbine control panel HMI. The spot temperature detectors are bi-
metallic and respond to both temperature and rate-of-rise. They cause a unit shutdown and
release of the CO2 when tripped.
The pressurized CO2 bottles are stored on a rack that includes manifolds, controls, valves and
a weigh scale. The reserve cylinders are an “automatic backup,” and are released, if the
detectors still indicate a hazard, 90 seconds after release of the main cylinders.
GE Energy provides piping within the main enclosure from the pressure connection to the
nozzles in the turbine and generator compartment. Release of the CO2 is controlled by the fire
system control panel or by a manual valve at the unit.
Signals from the equipment-mounted sensors are monitored by solid-state modules in the
control panel. The panel-mounted unit includes logic, memory and output functions.
Any shutdown signal from a gas detector, optical detector, thermal detector, or manual station
closes a contact and causes an emergency shutdown of the unit.
If flames are still detected 90 seconds after the primary CO2 cylinders have been discharged,
the reserve cylinders are discharged.
For this option, GE adds a synchronous clutch, in an enclosure, between the gas turbine and
generator. Modifications are also added to the protective relay system and the voltage
regulator. These additions allow the unit to operate as follows:
To control the amount of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emitted by the gas turbine engine during
normal operation, demineralized water is injected into the combustor section of the gas
turbine through the water injection manifold. Demineralized water from a customer source is
pressurized by the selected water injection pump and plumbed into the main skid.
While the system is not in operation, any water in the manifold piping drains from the system
through a manifold drain solenoid valve. Pressure in the downstream piping blows any
residual water out of the system. The gas fuel purge flow from the engine manifold assists in
clearing residual water from the system piping.
Necessary pressure and temperature instrumentation allow remote monitoring of the water
injection system on the main skid. All piping is stainless steel, and the valves are trimmed
with stainless steel.
Customer supplies demineralized water at 30 gpm / 114 lpm, and 275 psig / 1896 kPag and
150 ºF / 66 ºC nominal. Consult GE Energy for details.
This system is designed for recirculation of evaporative cooling water from a sump in the
bottom of the inlet air filter. This option includes recirculation pump, conductivity probe,
blowdown and make-up valves, piping and wiring. Customer must supply filtered, potable
water to a flanged connection on the filter house and must dispose of waste water from the
blowdown valve. Flow rates will vary based on blowdown.
At ambient conditions when the anti-ice system is not required, dampers at the inlet to the
waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) and outlet of the blower are closed. A purge blower is
activated to inject air to prevent overheating the fluid. A temperature alarm set at 200° F / 93°
C is also provided to start the fluid pump if the purge blower is inoperative or cannot provide
sufficient purge air to prevent overheating.
The filter house mounts above the turbine enclosure and is supported with legs. Downward
air-flow provides filtered air for combustion and ventilation. This compact filter design is
easily installed in the field, and it eliminates customer supplied ducting. The filter system
includes a stainless steel inlet silencer and a ladder and platform for inspection and servicing
of the filter.

The generator can also supply the following overload or fault currents
without measurable loss of life:
The stator frame is fabricated from mild steel plate to form a rigid structure. The stator is equipped
with substantial mounting pads with boltholes to secure the generator to the I-beam baseplate.
Following this, the main insulation is applied and pressed to size. The
amount of the compression is carefully controlled to ensure correct
resin flow and produce consistent void-free insulation.
Spacer blocks are fitted between adjacent coil sides to produce a strong,
resilient, composite structure. Finally, the completed stator is "baked"
in an oven to fully cure the insulation. Resistance Temperature
Detectors (RTD) are embedded in the windings at selected points, and
anti-condensation heaters are fitted into the stator frame.
10.5 Bearings
The main bearings are conventional, white metal lined, hydrodynamic
cylindrical bearings, split on the horizontal centerline for ease of
inspection and removal. The two halves are bolted and dowelled
together.
The shaft-mounted PMG powers the voltage regulator and excitation system.
10.8Voltage Regulator
The generator is furnished with a GE EX2100 microprocessor
controlled voltage regulator system. The voltage regulator is rack-
mounted in the turbine control panel and maintains generator output
voltage within ±0.5% under steady state operating conditions.
• Raise/lower voltage
• Raise/lower VARs or power factor (manual only)
10.9Generator Accessories

Down time is costly and in addition to labor and material for repairs, the owner loses profits
while the turbine is down for maintenance. In most instances, the lost profit during down time
exceeds the cost of repairs.
The LM6000’s simplified design helps reduce these field costs. The entire LM6000 package
is designed for easy maintenance. Enclosures are large and provide ample working space.
Components are accessible and easily adjusted or repaired, and an internal bridge-crane
speeds engine removal for major repairs.
The result is more “up-time” and less “down-time.” The LM6000 fleet of generator sets
operated by GE Energy has an average reliability of 99.5%, exceeding the industry average by
almost a full percentage point. The LM6000’s simple package design and easy replacement of
turbine modules contributes to this fine result.
The owner of an LM6000 package can easily remove the entire turbine engine in the event of
serious failure. A replacement engine can be installed and on-line within 48 hours, and the
customer's operations can return to normal while the engine is being repaired off-site.
The engine compartment includes built-in lighting, walkways and comfortable working space.
The overhead bridge crane can easily lift and turn the engine for removal through the side
doors.
Maintenance on many gas turbines is scheduled on a “clock-hour” basis. Parts are replaced
after a set number of operating hours. This can lead to unnecessary costs and maintenance.
GE Energy literature and training stress preventative maintenance and operator awareness.
We teach the customer's operators to perform preventative measures, including:
• Condition monitoring of critical parameters
• Trend analysis of performance
• Visual inspection of auxiliary systems and external wiring
• Borescope inspection
• Water wash
• Filter changes and inspections
• Lube oil sampling
In addition, GE Energy teaches operators to perform routine " condition monitoring, "
including:
• Gas generator speed
• Power turbine speed
• Gas generator exhaust gas temperature
• Gas generator discharge pressure
• Vibration
• Oil pressure
• Oil temperature
15.7.1 Level 1
On-site external maintenance and module replacement includes protective and corrective
tasks such as:
15.7.2 Level 2
On-site internal maintenance requiring partial disassembly of the engine and replacement of
components includes:
• Compressor blade/vane replacement
• Hot section component replacement
• HPT blade replacement
• Gearbox replacement
15.8.1 Level 3
Off-site internal maintenance. Includes all Level 2 capabilities, plus complete teardown and
rebuilding of engine. Includes replacement of major subassemblies with spare subassemblies.
15.8.2 Level 4
Off-site overhaul. Includes Level 3 capabilities plus complete disassembly of the major
subassemblies of the gas turbine and rebuilding subassemblies with replacement parts. A
permanent shop and a test cell are required for a Level 4 overhaul facility.
GE Energy has full Level 4 maintenance capabilities for customer’s needs. We feature full-
load testing of the repaired engine to ensure maximum field performance.
Special tools are required to perform Level 1 and Level 2 maintenance activities. These tools
are listed on the following pages and are priced separately for customers intending to perform
maintenance themselves.
GE Energy includes a lift fixture for the LM6000 turbine engine in the basic scope of supply.
This fixture and the built-in crane are used during engine removal and replacement.

Overview
GE Energy has the capability to provide everything from individual pieces of balance of plant
equipment to the complete power plant supplied on a “turn-Key” basis. GE Energy has a
dedicated team of engineers who specialize in the design, procurement and construction of
power plants and has successfully demonstrated the ability to do so for the following types of
facilities:
Turn-Key Services
Engineering
GE Energy can provide complete power plant design services, including civil, mechanical and
electrical design. The plants we design are reliable and intended to maximize the owner’s
profitability and minimize the total installation and construction duration. In order to achieve
this, we utilize pre-engineered designs for plant applications wherever possible. These designs
are proven and are ready for use today, saving engineering costs and project time, allowing
for the lowest installed cost basis. To meet unique project requirements, we work with the
Owner to adapt GE Energy’s standard plant designs to accommodate their particular needs.
Most of our designs are for shop built modules or systems, reducing the complexities of field
installation. This process saves weeks of time and hundreds of engineering man-hours.
Our field experience simplifies the job by bringing the knowledge and engineering skill gained from
previous power plant projects to each new project.
Most of our simple-cycle engineering is done “in-house” to provide tight coordination for our
customers. On large projects we call in experienced third-party engineering companies to
Procurement
The GE Energy Extended Scope engineering team can provide procurement services for the
entire power plant. We use the experience of the GE Energy organization to help us find the
best balance of plant equipment vendors in the business. We utilize GE components to the
extent possible to minimize cost, ensure highest quality, and maximize standardization
between balance of plant components and the turbine package. We demand quality,
dependability, and experience from each of our vendors while keeping an eye on minimizing
installed costs. Most pieces of major equipment are purchased from vendors who have served
us for years, with hundreds of successful applications.
The GE Energy project execution team can provide full construction and start-up services for
the power plant. We place an experienced Construction Manager on each site. The
Construction Manager and specialists from our Houston office select from a group of pre-
qualified construction sub-contractors to provide skilled craftsmen for the job. The
Construction Manager schedules and coordinates the work of the subcontractors. This
individual verifies the quality and completeness of each element of the job, and ensures that
the work progresses properly, with order and safety.
A team of start-up specialists from GE Energy and from major equipment vendors arrives at
the job when construction is nearing completion. These technicians check each plant system
carefully. Then, in parallel with the combustion turbine Technical Advisory team and plant
operations team, they commission the plant.
After thorough operating checks, these specialists prepare the plant for performance testing
and eventual turnover to plant operators.
GE Energy can provide technical advisory supervision services for the installation and
commissioning of the combustion turbine package. Installation services include supervising
the installation of the combustion turbine package by the Owner’s or by GE Energy’s
construction contractor. Commissioning services include flushing supervision, checkout, and
