Industry-Leading Operational Flexibility for Increased Dispatch


and Ancillary Revenue • Units offer fast, 12-minute ramp-up from start command to gas turbine full load.


• Up to 70 MW/minute ramping capability is achieved within emissions compliance.


• Turndown as low as 30 percent of gas turbine baseload output is reached within emissions compliance.


• Fuel flexible accommodates gas and liquid fuels with wide gas variability, including high ethane (shale) gas and liquefied natural gas.


Simpler H-Class Offering


• Features a less complex configuration than GE’s previous H-class units, and one that does not require cooled air.


• Modular systems ease installation and reduce onsite labor requirements by reducing field mechanical welds by 25 percent and reducing field installed valves by a factor of 10.


• Maintenance is streamlined with quick- removal turbine roof, field-replaceable blades, and 100 percent borescope inspection coverage for all blades.


• Simplified dual fuel system uses less water, eliminates recirculation, and utilizes enhanced liquid purge for improved reliability and dependability.


Full-Load Validation


• At the heart of GE’s heavy duty gas turbine validation program is the advanced full-speed, full-load test facility in Greenville, SC.


• GE’s 9HA gas turbine successfully completed its full-speed, full-load validation in 2015, exceeding engineering performance expectations.


• The 9HA technology has secured insurance coverage from all major insurers.


Full engine validation of the 9HA was completed in GE’s $200M+ full-speed, full-load test facility in Greenville, SC. Every aspect of the testing was a success, with all achievements exceeding expectations (performance,


flexibility, fatigue response, fuel capability,


grid response, serviceability, and future growth). In addition, the industry-leading first commercial 9HA has undergone first fire and will go COD later this year.
