7.1
Turbine Engine
The LM6000 is a 2-shaft gas turbine engine derived from the core of the CF6-80C2, GE's
high thrust, high efficiency aircraft engine. More than eighteen hundred CF6-80C2s are in
service and 2,000 or more are on order or option. The CF6-80C2 has logged more than
30,000,000 flight hours in the Boeing 747 and other wide-body aircraft, with a 99.88%
dispatch reliability and commercial aviation's lowest shop visit rate. GE used this 30 million
hour flight experience to create the LM6000. Both engines have a common design and share
most major parts. The Low Pressure Turbine, High Pressure Compressor, High Pressure
Turbine, and Combustor are virtually identical. This use of flight-proven parts, produced in
high volume, contributes to the low initial cost and high operating efficiency of the LM6000.
Page 33 of 156
7.1
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

Page 35 of 156
The DLE system controls NOx emissions without the use of water or steam. GE Energy
installs special combustors, manifolds, nozzles and metering to control flame temperature and
reduce emissions of NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons. This DLE system reduces
emissions over the entire power range, not just at high power settings.
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 Bdome, 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.
Page 36 of 156
The LM6000 gas turbine uses three frames to support the LP and HP rotors, the front frame,
compressor rear frame and the turbine rear frame. This configuration produces excellent rotor
stability and closely controlled blade tip clearance.
7.1.9.1
Front Frame
The LM6000 front frame is a major engine structure that provides sup-port for the LPC shaft
and the forward end of the HPC shaft. The frame also forms an airflow path between the
outlet of the LPC and the inlet of the HPC. The front engine mounts attach to the front frame.
The front frame contains the engine A sump that incorporates the thrust and radial bearings
to support the LPC rotor and a radial bearing which supports the forward end of the HPC
rotor. Lubrication oil supply and scavenge lines for the A sump are routed inside the front
frame struts. The accessory gearbox drive shaft is located in the A sump and extends out
through the strut located at the six oclock position.
Pads are contained on the frame outer case for mounting of the two High Pressure
Compressor inlet temperature sensors.
7.1.9.2
The compressor rear frame consists of an outer case, 10 struts and the B-C sump housing.
The outer case supports the combustor and 30 fuel nozzles. The hub supports both the thrust
bearing, the radial bearing and in turn, the mid-section of the HP rotor system.
7.1.9.3
The turbine rear frame supports the rear engine mount and contains the D-E sump. The 14strut rear frame guides and straightens the exhaust flow for lower pressure drop and greater
efficiency.

Package Enclosures
The package is equipped with a generator and a turbine enclosures plus an optional auxiliary
module enclosure is available. The unit enclosures are designed for outdoor installation with
wind loads up to 150 mph / 240 km/h and to reduce the average near field noise to 85 dB (A)
at 3 ft. / 1.0 m from the enclosure and 5 ft. / 1.5m above grade. Each compartment is provided
with access doors and AC lighting.
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.
Page 43 of 156
Page 44 of 156
7.5.2.1
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.
7.5.2.2
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.
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.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008
Page 45 of 156
Tapered pins between the baseplates simplify field alignment and lifting spools are built into
the baseplates providing a convenient structure for transportation.
7.7
Fuel System
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.
7.7.1.1
Gas fuel must be supplied to the package baseplate connection at 675 +30/-20 psig / 4,053
4,962 kPag. Please see Section 14 for applicable fuel specification. Lower fuel supply
pressure requirements for base load operation may be possible in certain circumstances.
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.
7.7.1.3
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 solenoidoperated 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.
Page 47 of 156
7.7.1.4
Fuel-Metering Valve
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.
7.8
The LM6000 gas turbine is lubricated with synthetic lube oil (SLO) while a separate mineral
lube oil (MLO) system lubricates the generator.
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.

7.8.1.1
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.
7.8.1.2
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, airto-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.

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 183F/91.6C and 194F/95C, respectively. The gearbox has a turning gear to rotate the
shaft. The gearbox bearing RTDs alarm and trip at 225F/107C and 241F/116C
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.

Starting System
Page 55 of 156
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 selfsustaining.
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.
Page 56 of 156
However, the typical LM6000 in simple cycle application can reach full power from a cold
start in 10 minutes. See Section 5 for 10-minute start cycle curve.
7.10.1
Both on-line and off-line spray nozzles are mounted on the Inlet Air Volute on the main
baseplate. The remaining water wash equipment below is mounted on the auxiliary module:

7.10.4
Interface Requirements
Customer supplies a source of hot water and instrument/compressed air to purge lines at GE
Energy flange connections on auxiliary module. Interconnecting piping and hoses to the
permanently mounted turbine spray manifold is provided.
7.11
The LM6000 turbine generator set includes controls and sensors to detect fire, unsafe
temperatures or explosive atmospheres in the equipment enclosure. The system releases CO2
if fire is detected.
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.
Page 58 of 156
7.11.1
Gas Detectors
Four hydrocarbon gas detectors and two infrared gas detectors are provided. Two
hydrocarbon gas detectors are located in the turbine compartment. One hydrocarbon gas
detector is located below the turbine. A fourth detector is located in the front of the generator
compartment. Two infrared gas detectors are located in the turbine enclosure near the
ventilation exhaust duct. If the gas detectors in the turbine or generator compartments sense a
gas concentration of 15% LEL, a warning is initiated. If a sensor detects a gas concentration
of 25% lower explosion limit, an emergency shutdown is initiated. If an infrared sensor
senses a gas concentration of 5% LEL, a warning is initiated. If a sensor detects a gas
concentration of 10% LEL, an emergency shutdown is initiated.
Page 59 of 156
7.11.2
There are three IR/Optical flame detectors mounted in the turbine enclosure and three
mounted in the generator enclosure. A flame indication by a turbine enclosure sensor causes
an emergency shutdown and release of CO2.
7.11.3
Thermal Detectors
The turbine enclosure temperature is monitored by two thermal spot detectors, initiating a
shutdown at 450 F / 232.2 C. The generator enclosure temperature is monitored by two
thermal spot detectors, initiating a shutdown at 225 F / 107.2 C.
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 bimetallic and respond to both temperature and rate-of-rise. They cause a unit shutdown and
release of the CO2 when tripped.
7.11.4
Three manual trip stations are located on the main enclosure; one on each side near the center
of the package, and the third at the exciter end of the generator.
7.11.5
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.
7.11.6
Page 60 of 156
GE Energy furnishes a dedicated 24 VDC battery system with charger, to power the fire and
gas protection and control system. This battery system conforms to NFPA 12 requirements.
7.11.7
Control System
A solid-state monitor mounted in the Turbine Control Panel compares the signal from each
sensor to alarm and shutdown setpoints. Meters provide a read out of each gas detector signal.
Any alarm signal sounds an alarm at the control panel and in the turbine enclosure.
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.
7.11.8
Each sensor is connected with closed loop circuitry to verify its readiness. Should the sensor
or its wiring become defective, a "fault" condition is indicated on the control panel.
7.11.9
When a shutdown signal is received the control system turns off the ventilation fans and
sounds an alarm horn at the panel and both inside and outside of the turbine enclosure. After
a time delay, CO2 is released into the generator and turbine compartments.
A CO2 concentration sufficient to extinguish flames is reached in approximately 30 seconds.
If the primary cylinders should fail to discharge within four seconds, the reserve cylinders are
discharged.
If flames are still detected 90 seconds after the primary CO2 cylinders have been discharged,
the reserve cylinders are discharged.

The operator selects Synchronous Condenser operation with a switch on the Turbine
Control Panel
The generator remains running, and is now operating as a motor, powered by the grid.
The operator can now export or import VARs by raising or lowering the voltage set point
on the Voltage Regulator (within limits designed to protect the equipment).
8.2.2
8.2.3
The GE EX2100 digital power system stabilizer integrates supplementary control signals to
the generators voltage regulator to control power fluctuations and to help improve the
stability of the power system.
8.2.4
In the standard LM6000 configuration, the customers piping connections are on the right
side, as viewed from the exciter. As an option, the unit can be built with the piping
Page 63 of 156
connections on the left side. The turbine removal area is located on the side opposite of the
piping connections.
8.2.5
In the standard LM6000 configuration the generator line side cubicle is on the right side as
viewed from the exciter. The neutral cubicle is on the left side. As an option the unit can be
configured with the line side cubicle on the left side and the neutral cubicle on the right side.
8.2.6
The LM6000 can be equipped to operate using liquid fuel instead of natural gas. Typical
liquid fuels include DF1, DF2, JP4 or kerosene. Customer must supply liquid fuel at 20-50
psig /138-345 kPag and at least 20F / 11C above the wax point temperature (normally
35F / 1.6C). Maximum fuel temperature is 150F / 65C. Customer supplied fuel must be
clean, filtered and meet required fuel specifications. See Section 14.
8.2.7
Complete fuel systems for two different fuels, including piping, valves and controls. Fuels
can be:
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.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008
Page 64 of 156
8.2.8.1
Demineralized water supplied to the auxiliary skid must meet GE quality requirements MIDTD-0000-3 See Section 14. Demineralized water flows through the duplex water injection
filter, where water is filtered to 10 microns before being pressurized by the centrifugal water
injection pump. Downstream of the filter, demineralized water flow branches to provide
water to either water injection pump. Two identical water injection pumps are provided in the
system (primary and standby). If there is a pump failure, the operator, after investigating the
cause of the failure to verify the problem is not related to water supply or piping problems,
can then select the standby pump from the human machine interface (HMI) screen. The
standby pump becomes the primary pump and the operator can enable the water injection
system. Necessary pressure and temperature instrumentation allow remote monitoring of the
water injection system on the auxiliary skid.
8.2.8.2
Main Skid
Water flow enters the main skid piping at an operating pressure of 800-950 psig / 5,517
6,550 kPag for gas fuel operation an 1200-1320 psig / 8274-9101 kPag for liquid fuel. An
electrically actuated water injection flow-metering valve modulates de-mineralized water flow
to the engine manifold and to the water return in response to data received and processed by
the control system. Downstream of the metering valve, de-mineralized water flows through a
solenoid shutoff valve which opens when the control system commands the water injection
system active and closes when the GTG set is stopped or the water injection system is
commanded off. A flow transmitter sends a 420 mA proportional signal to the digital
control system providing flow data used to totalize water use and calculate the water-to-fuel
ratio.
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.

Increases exhaust energy by injecting fine water droplets into the inlet and interstage air
stream
8.2.10
Evaporative Cooling
Evaporative cooling lowers inlet temperature to the gas turbine for added power. This option
is recommended when high dry bulb temperatures are common, with low/medium ambient
humidity.
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.
8.2.11
To increase the output of the LM6000 during hot weather, GE Energy installs a chiller coil
upstream of the static filter. A water/glycol mixture is circulated through the coil to lower
inlet air temperature and improve turbine performance. The chiller system includes the
following:
Can be offered separately or in conjunction with a mechanical chiller module with pumps,
motors and controls for water/glycol circulation of 3,300 gpm / 12,493 lpm.
Page 66 of 156
8.2.12
GE Energy recommends an anti-ice system for safe operating during icing conditions and
provides several anti-ice options. With this option, exhaust heat is utilized to provide anti-ice
heating of the inlet air and can be used with the included anti-ice coils or with chilling coils
provided separately. The three major components of this system are as follows:
Waste Heat Skid
The waste heat skid utilizes gas turbine exhaust gas to fluid heat exchanger. Exhaust gas from
the gas turbine stack is extracted and flows through the plate fin and tube, all stainless steel
heat exchanger. Exhaust gases then flow through a blower which boosts the exhaust gas
pressure and returns the exhaust gas back to the stack. A flow control damper is provided at
the blower discharge to control the air temperature rise across the inlet air going to the gas
turbine. A water- glycol mixture is heated in the gas-to-fluid heat exchanger with a design
duty of 4 mm BTU/hr.
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.
Fluid Pump Skid
The heated fluid is pumped through an anti-ice coil located upstream of the static filter to heat
the inlet air 15 F / 8.3 C. The pump skid is designed to circulate 300 gpm / 1136 lpm of
fluid using duplex (2 x 100%) 7.5 kW / 10 hp pumps. The closed system includes a
pressurized expansion tank and the entire anti-ice system contains approximately 350 gallons
of fluid. Under normal conditions no make-up or discharge is required. A low flow switch is
provided to shut down the pump and blower skid if flow disruption is detected and an alarm
on the Turbine Control Panel alerts the operator to this condition. Please consult GE Energy
sales for details.
Anti-Ice Heating Coils
Page 67 of 156
Anti-ice coils are provided and installed in the air filter assembly. Coils are piped to a
common manifold with customer connections on each side of the main skid. If chilling coils
are present they will be utilized for both chilling and anti-icing duty.
Page 68 of 156
8.2.13
With this option, GE Energy installs an anti-ice coil upstream of the static filter. The
customer circulates a heated water-glycol mixture through the coil to heat the inlet air 15 F /
8.3 C. Check with GE Energy for details.
8.2.14
With this option, GE Energy recirculates warm turbine room ventilation air back to the inlet
air filter in order to keep ice from forming on the filter. Check with GE Energy for details.
8.2.15
GE Energy uses a pre-engineered, self-cleaning filter option for job sites with special needs
such as dust, pulp and paper fiber and snow. Self-cleaning filter elements are provided for
combustion and ventilation air paths.
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 supplied static excitation system is based on a GE EX2100 Potential Fed Excitation
System. This excitation system is GEs latest state-of-the-art control offering for both new
and retrofit steam, gas, or hydro generation. The EX2100 incorporates a powerful diagnostic
system and a control simulator to support fast installation, tuning of control constants, and
training. Easy to use graphics are used for operating, troubleshooting and maintaining
optimum generator performance. The architecture is a single control rack, one power supply
rack, control power input module and the power module. The power module consists of a
bridge interface sub-system, power bridge, ac and dc filter networks, and ac and/or dc
isolation devices. The EX2100 will directly communicate to the Turbine Control Panel
through Ethernet connection also has hand control switches on front of GT Turbine Control
Panel for control

Stator Frame
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.
Page 87 of 156
The insulation possesses high dielectric strength, low internal loss and
meets all current specifications. The resin system is thermo-setting, so
that the resulting insulated coil sides are dimensionally stable. This
resin insulation is highly resistant to most common electrical machine
contaminants, such as hydrocarbons, acids, alkalis and tropical molds.
Page 88 of 156
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.
Oil is supplied under pressure to the bearings with flow controlled by
an orifice in the supply line. Drain oil collects in the bottom of the
bearing housing and returns to the generator lube oil reservoir by
gravity flow.
The generator bearings are end frame mounted on specially stiffened
and reinforced stator frames. A detachable solid ribbed steel plate, split
on the bearing horizontal centerline, supports the lower half bearing
housing. Pressurized air from the downstream side of the generator fans
is used to seal the lubricating oil in the bearings. RTDs in the bearing
metal and in the oil drain lines provide bearing temperature sensing.
Page 89 of 156
10.6Ventilation Systems
Internal Air Circuit
The generator is cooled by air forced through ducts in the stator and
rotor by two axial fans mounted on the rotor shaft. The cooling air is
supplied to the generator from the inlet air filter.
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 rackmounted in the turbine control panel and maintains generator output
voltage within 0.5% under steady state operating conditions.
The voltage regulator utilizes single phase sensing circuitry and
includes:

10.9.2
Space Heaters
Space heaters are located inside the generator to prevent condensation
of moisture when the generator is not operating. The space heaters are
suitable for operation on three-phase, 480 VAC power, 60 Hz.
Automatic ON/OFF control for the space heater is provided by the unit
control panel that controls a contactor in the motor control center.
10.9.3
Vibration Detectors
Two vibration detectors are mounted 90 apart at each radial bearing
(Total 4). The proximeters and cables are wired to the Main Generator
Terminal Box (MGTB) in the generator compartment. Monitoring
equipment is provided in the unit control panel.
10.9.4
This control system provides continuous electronic monitoring of the generator rotor winding and its
connections. Indication of a ground fault is shown on the unit control panel.

Equipment Package
The overall control systems for the LM6000 GTG set include all individual turbine-generator
system monitoring and operating indicators, controls, and transmitters as well as central
electronic control system.
Page 94 of 156
The turbine control panel (TCP) houses a majority of the control system equipment. From the
TCP, an operator can initiate the turbine-generators electronic control system to perform
automatic startup, fuel management, load assumption, and system operation. Critical
parameters are constantly monitored and alarms or shutdowns are initiated automatically, as
appropriate, for out-of-tolerance conditions.
Automatic fuel control and turbine sequencing are controlled by the logic control system
software and hardware. Also, an operator or anyone on site can initiate, as necessary, a
manual emergency shutdown at any time.
12.1.1
The HMI displays turbine operation data and mimic screens. It includes operator input and
function pushbuttons.
12.1.2
Vibration Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 3500 vibration monitoring system monitors the vibration levels at critical
points along the turbine generator package.
12.1.3
Generator Monitoring
The Satec SA296 simplifies the monitoring and management of generator electrical conditions
and output. In addition to displaying generator output conditions, control and alarm relays are
programmed to activate alarms for measured output values, i.e. high or low current and voltage
conditions.
12.1.4
The fire and gas detection system is comprised of plug-in modules that link to flame,
temperature, and gas detection sensors inside the turbine enclosure. The fire and gas
detection system interfaces with the turbine control system to provide the necessary engine
shutdown, ventilation fan on/off signals, and other operator messages.
12.1.5
Generator Controls
The GE AVR, EX2100 Brushless Regulator System is designed to control the excitation of a
brushless generator.

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 owners
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 Energys 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
work under our supervision. This approach helps us put units on-the-line quickly to meet
owners deadlines.
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.
Construction Services and Start-Up Services
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 prequalified 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.
Extended Scope Services
Combustion Turbine Package Installation and Commissioning Supervision
Services
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 Owners or by GE Energys

Parts
By choosing GE Energy as the overhaul provider the user is guaranteed that, when required,
new original engine manufacturer parts are used. If a part can be repaired, the users can rest
assured that the procedure used for the repair has been approved by GE Energy engineering.
Many of the repairs were developed for use in the aviation industry and have been adapted for
use in the industrial engine.
19.6.3
Service Bulletins
While the gas turbine is in the Service Center all pertinent service bulletins should be complied with.
Compliance with service bulletins ensures the user that the latest technology available is being used.
By taking advantage of the latest technology the user may be able to reduce the overall maintenance
cost of operating a GE LM6000 product.

individual needs. Please feel free to contact your GE Energy Services Sales Manager if you
would like to discuss a potential CM&U for your operation.
19.7.2
Offerings
GE Energy offers a package of hardware, tooling and labor to remove and install your
LM6000 gas turbine engine and replace the Hot Section (HPT Rotor, Stage 1 and 2 Nozzle
Assemblies) at a predetermined fixed price. Two GE field service representatives per shift
will be provided for this work. This procedure can normally be accomplished in 1-3 days, thus
eliminating the need for a lease engine, and sending the engine into the shop for repair. With
the Aero Energy Hot Section Exchange, you get a fully balanced HPT rotor with factory
established blade to shroud clearances to optimize performance. As with all of the Aero
Energy Rotable EMUs, the Hot Section hardware carries a one year warranty. All returned
EMUs are overhauled per GE specifications.
The LM6000 Aeroderivative gas turbine is designed so that it is easy to replace major engine
assemblies (also referred to as Engine Maintenance Units or EMUs) quickly to maximize gas
turbine availability. GE Energy has developed a program that takes advantage of this
engineering concept. In many cases, a Rotable EMU can be installed at the customers site
eliminating the need to send the engine to a Service Center. The User benefits by on-site
replacement of the EMU by eliminating the cost of using a lease engine and the second engine
change-out if the damaged engine is sent to a Service Center for repair. GE Energy also has
EMUs that are available to be used to shorten the time an engine is at a Service Center for
repair. This reduces the cost of operating a lease engine (if installed) or can help expedite the
return of the engine back to the site to meet a critical operating period. Removed EMUs
(including Hot Sections) become the property of GE.
Overview
GE Energy can offer both new and used LM6000 gas generators and gas turbines to
customers that own or operate LM6000 gas turbine equipment. The new units are provided
with a factory performance guarantee and carry a 1-year operation warranty. The used
LM6000 gas generators or gas turbines offered have normally undergone a complete overhaul
per GE specifications prior to availability for sale. These units also may carry a 1-year
operational warranty. New and used units can be purchased outright, or purchased with the
return of an existing LM6000 unit. GE Energy refers to this as our Engine Exchange Program.
Through this program, a customer may trade the current unit in for the same model
configuration or upgraded equipment for improvements in power and heat rate.

Overview
The GE Lease Program is designed to help customers minimize or reduce their overall life
cycle costs and offers a low cost way for customers to maintain availability of their gas
turbines. Customers can maximize site availability by leasing equipment from GE when their
own equipment is at a Service Center for repair or when it cannot be repaired on site within a
reasonable amount of time. Lease customers can continue operations to serve their customers
and meet their business objectives. Lease assets are provided under either of two lease
agreement concepts: Member or Non-member.
GE has made the capital investment in these gas turbines and incurs costs for every operating
and non-operating hour. Member and non-member rates and options are structured to reflect
this.
19.10.2
19.10.3
A customer who has not opted for the six-year membership agreement may use a GE lease
asset on a single event basis under the terms of a Non-member agreement. No guarantee of
availability exists for non-member usage. An installation fee and a higher weekly charge
apply to non-members. Non-member lease rates are calculated from the rates in the member
tables. The weekly non-member rate is 3.5 times the weekly member rate, after any Special
Applications adjustments. An installation charge applies to each usage plus actual
transportation costs each way.
Note: New customers who request a lease gas turbine within 45 days of executing a member
lease agreement will be charged at non-member rates for that lease usage event.
