GT13E2

GAS TURBINE
Superior flexibility / Superior performance

POWER
 Power,
productivity, profit

Wherever they operate worldwide, utilities and independent power producers have to cope with rapid
changes - tougher emissions legislation and fierce competition not least among them.
At the same time they need to reduce production costs – yet major power interruptions dramatically
illustrate the danger of cutting cost at the expense of reliability. To increase long-term profits, even
at a time of volatile fuel and electricity prices, it is vital to continue to raise efficiency and productivity.

Alstom’s GT13E2 gas turbine offers the highest engine efficiency of conventional class gas
turbines yet has long inspection intervals. With millions of fired hours of operation to
its credit, the GT13E2 is the perfect core of a power plant, designed to produce reliable,
competitively priced electricity.

The GT13E2 offers superior flexibility through two operating modes – one maximises performance,
the other maximises operating time between inspection intervals. In addition, the engine can actively
support grid frequency with high response and no extra lifetime factors.

The GT13E2, whose gas turbine technology has earned its stripes over the years, is designed
for a wide range of applications. It can operate as a stand-alone turbine in a new or existing
power plant design or as part of a turnkey power plant. Applications cover electrical power
generation in base load, intermediate or peak duty. It can be used in industrial applications
such as aluminium smelters or desalination plants. With its modularised and pre-tested
auxiliaries, the GT13E2 can be brought on-line quickly to support phased plant construction.

Right technology, right products

Alstom’s gas turbines stand out for their high cost efficiency,
availability and flexibility.
The range covers a wide spectrum of products, including machines
for both the 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets. They can operate either in
simple cycle or combined cycle and are fuelled by natural gas,
medium or low calorific gases or light oil; with on-line fuel switch
over capability eliminating dependency on any one fuel.

02
GT13E2: Unmatched efficiency
The GT13E2 has the highest open-cycle efficiency of conventional class gas

the benefits turbines – close to 37% (ISO) – with a high exhaust energy level. This offers
significant fuel cost savings over competing technologies for a wide variety
of applications. It is achieved by carefully optimizing existing proven
technology – without the need for expensive and high-maintenance
technologies used in some advanced gas turbines. The benefit of lower
operating cost is, therefore, not compromised by higher maintenance costs
or reduced availability.

Operational flexibility
The GT13E2 can operate in either a performance optimised mode or a lifetime
optimised mode without having to change hardware. Both respond to
increasingly volatile markets by allowing the operator to select, on-line, the best
operating mode to maximise profit. Operational flexibility also includes the
ability to handle wide fluctuations in gas composition. In addition, the engine
can operate on diesel oil (with or without water injection for NOx control), with
an on-line switch-over between gas and oil even at full load.

Low maintenance cost/

longer inspection intervals
The GT13E2 has a number of family assets. Firstly, the maintenance-free welded
rotor eliminates the need for major overhauls. Secondly, the fully annular
combustor does not require any combustor inspections. With the GT13E2, you
can achieve maintenance intervals of 36,000 Equivalent Operating Hours (EOH)
between hot gas path inspections. This makes the GT13E2 the ultimate choice
for operating regimes with a higher sensitivity to O&M costs and availability.

Continuous evolution
The GT13E2 continues to be at the cutting edge thanks to constant technology
evolution. These incremental improvements use the engineering tools validated
at the Alstom Test Power Plant and confirmed with test campaigns in the field.
Two retrofittable upgrades on the GT13E2 are a prime illustration – improved
turbine blading with the flexible operating concept and a compressor upgrade.

03

Designed for dependable,
low cost operation
Every component of the GT13E2 is the result of
time-tested design principles, thorough validation and
manufacturing processes conforming to the highest standards.
Maintenance-free welded rotor
Alstom’s welded rotor was first introduced in 1929 for steam
turbines and has been operating successfully in both Alstom
gas and steam turbines. The rotor is welded from forged discs
that ensure high rotor stiffness with two-bearing support.
04
Rotor manufacturing
welding process.
The welded rotor design eliminates maintenance work such
as restacking and disk replacement or factory rotor overhaul
and thus eliminates the need for a so called “major overhaul”
of the GT.
Low-stage loaded compressor
The 21-stage compressor with its low stage loading yields
a high surge margin and high reliability.
Variable inlet guide vanes control airflow efficiently, increasing
part load efficiency and starting reliability.
Annular combustor
A fully annular combustion chamber distributes the
circumferential temperature evenly while avoiding problem
zones such as cross-firing tubes or transition pieces. In
addition the annular combustion systems of Alstom do not
need a so called "combustor inspection" as for can-annular
systems which reduces the amount of maintenance leading to
higher availability.

Dry low NOx EV burner
EV (EnVironmental) burner technology, operating successfully
for several millions of hours throughout the Alstom gas turbine
fleet, gives long burner life, no maintenance between hot gas
path inspection and low emissions.
The EV burner gives the benefit of dry low NOx combustion
for operation with different natural gases, with the option to
run with liquid fuel as an alternative.
Turbine
Advanced aerodynamics and multi-convective cooling schemes
contribute significantly to the GT13E2’s outstanding efficiency.
The design of the first turbine stage, combined with thermal
barrier coating (TBC) and conservative firing temperatures,
allows extended inspection intervals of up to 36,000 EOH.
All Inconel 738 conventional cast turbine airfoils and heat
shields ensure long parts life and allow for full, cost-effective
refurbishment.
Axial exhaust system
The straight-line arrangement of gas turbine and heat recovery
steam generator (HRSG) facilitates compact plant layouts.
The elimination of the turning elbow reduces back-pressure
and turbulence at the HRSG inlet. This improves unit
performance in simple and combined cycle mode.
05
Flexibility and efficiency
The longer and more flexible inspection intervals that
the GT13E2 offers, linked to higher efficiency when required,
provide the optimal hedging against fuel price uncertainty.

Extended inspection Efficiency

intervals
One of the key benefits of the GT13E2
is the ability to operate with extended
inspection intervals for low fuel cost
applications or in schemes where fuel
is provided by the power off-taker
(Tolling or Energy Conversion
schemes). You get this benefit with
only a marginal reduction in efficiency
and output. The GT13E2’s optimised
operation mode allows for 36,000
equivalent operating hours between
Hot Gas Path inspections.
The GT13E2 has the highest efficiency
of conventional class gas turbines in
simple cycle. It offers unrivalled
performance in markets where fuel
prices are high or fluctuate regularly.
The combination of high power output
and high conventional class availability
in both simple and combined cycle are
compelling advantages. The
performance optimised operation mode
also offers the lowest Cost of Electricity
(CoE) when fuel prices are high.

The importance
of flexibility
Where demand is seasonal or fuel prices
are volatile, the ability to switch between
operation modes on-line provides an
added operational advantage. The
GT13E2 has been designed to deliver
the high operational flexibility that allows
a plant owner to maximise profits with
the same hardware.

06
Meeting customer requirements
Our long experience working with customers and
our understanding of different markets across the globe
enable us to adapt to a variety of customer needs.

Low fuel prices
When fuel prices are low, O&M costs
have a significant impact on the total
Cost of Electricity (CoE). To keep O&M
costs down, as plant owner you may
decide to run the plant with longer
inspection intervals. Using this operation
mode of the GT13E2, maintenance
costs can be contained since the EOH
Hot Gas Path inspection intervals run
to 36,000 equivalent operating hours.
Furthermore, at around 0.2%, the
reduction in simple-cycle efficiency is
negligible. The contributions of O&M,
fuel and capital costs to the total Cost
of Electricity, and the preferable
configuration, are shown in the figure
below.
High fuel and/or
electricity prices
When fuel prices are high, the fuel
portion of CoE becomes the dominant
cost factor. Here, efficiency has a huge
leverage effect. You cannot influence
the fuel prices, but you can strive to get
maximum power from the fuel to partly
compensate.

 Seamless integration
Developing, building, and operating a profitable gas turbine
power plant goes far beyond selecting components with
promising individual specification parameters.

A key aspect is integration, With the Alstom GT13E2 gas turbine,

because it can substantially enhance
flexibility and performance. As a gas
turbine plant EPC contractor, this would
include the following requirements:
T The gas turbine should be designed
for simple and cost effective
integration into the overall plant.
T In-depth, comprehensive user
information should be readily available.
T Application consulting needs to be
available when required.
As a plant owner/operator, you would add
the following requirements to the list:
T Operational flexibility to support plant
dispatch requirements such as quick
start-up, fuel flexibility, black start,

sudden load changes, active grid
frequency support, black grid
restoration, partial or global load
rejection.
T An efficient Operation and
Maintenance regime.
all the above come as standard.
The GT13E2 is the result of years of
Alstom experience in gas turbine plant
design and construction. This
experience goes back to the world’s first
commercial gas turbine plant in
Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1939. Today,
Alstom is the leading EPC contractor
worldwide, with technology for all plant
components in house.
The GT13E2 is also backed by Alstom’s
plant operating and maintenance
service expertise, with a portfolio from

plant, operating since October 2004,
is a key support of the Algerian grid
at its far northeastern end. The plant
is located 120 km South-East of
Constantine, the third largest city in
Algeria.
The plant was built on a turnkey basis
in record time, from contract signing to
the first unit’s commercial operation
date. The second unit was on-line one
month later – both units completed
exactly on time.
The plant layout was prepared such that
the planned addition of further units,
including the conversion to combined
cycle can be accomplished without
disturbing the operation of the Phase 1
portion of the plant.
Ever since F’Kirina has gone commercial,
it has been a cornerstone of Sonelgaz
power supply to the Algerian national
grid. With its exceptional reliability and
availability, the plant has become one of
Sonelgaz’ premiere moneymakers.

Pelican Point / AUSTRALIA
1xKA13E2-2, 480 MW
Fuel: natural gas
In 1998, the government of South
Australia knew it would need to act
quickly if it was to prevent power
shortages. It decided to call on the
private sector; the result was Pelican
Point, a 500 MW combined-cycle
power project developed on a fast
track basis by National Power. The
plant increased South Australia’s
generating capacity by 20 per cent.
Alstom was awarded the turnkey
project in 1999 by National Power
South Australia Investments Ltd, a
subsidiary of National Power plc. The
plant is equipped with two GT13E2
gas turbines and has been operational
since September 2000. The turbines
are equipped with advanced high-
efficiency, low-emission burner
technology to help meet the strict
environmental requirements at the
site. Alstom also supplied the overall
power plant control system, plant
engineering, and associated
installation and commissioning.
Lumut Extension /
MALAYSIA
1xKA13E2-3, 650 MW
Fuel: natural gas/oil No. 2
The Lumut IPP project is playing an
important role in meeting Malaysia’s
increasing power demand. When
Alstom won the turnkey contract to
supply another block to the GT13E2
based 1,400 MW combined-cycle
power plant Lumut in Malaysia, it
made the plant the largest independent
(IPP) CCPP in Southeast Asia.
After the 1997 crisis, the government
wanted a new peaking plant to be in
operation by the end of 2001. With an
existing plant at Lumut and therefore
an available infrastructure, it decided to
look at expanding the site to increase
the capacity of the plant. In order to be
operational before the projected

shortage, the new Lumut Block 3
would have to be given fast track
status, and in order to have power
available to meet the expected
demand, the project developers
invested in a bypass stack. This allowed
open-cycle operations so that 431 MW
would be available while work was
being done to convert the plant to
combined cycle.
The Lumut power plant is located in
the state of Perak, Malaysia. The
customer is GB3 Sdn Bhd, a fully
owned subsidiary of Malakoff Berhad.
Malakoff is the largest independent
power producer in Malaysia with a total
power generating capacity of over
2,000 MW. Alstom was responsible
for the supply of 3x165 MW GT13E2
gas turbines, a steam turbine, three
HRSGs, electrical generators, the entire
auxiliary system, control system and
interconnection facility. Alstom was
also responsible for the supervision of
erection and commissioning works.
Ruwais / UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES
4xGT13E2 500 MW
Fuel: natural gas
In 1998 Alstom was awarded an order
for the Ruwais power and desalination
plant in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The cogeneration plant, operating since
August 2000, provides 500 MW of
power and eight million gallons of water
per day for Abu Dhabi National Oil
Company (ADNOC). The facility is
located in the coastal industrial area of
Ruwais, 230 km west of the capital Abu
Dhabi City. Alstom supplied four
GT13E2 gas turbines and generators,
along with the associated HRSGs and
desalination plant. We also provided the
overall plant control system, the BoP
equipment and complete engineering,
installation and commissioning work.

They cover all plants (both existing and new ones), all energy
sources (from fossil fuels to hydro and nuclear), and all
emissions (NOx, SOx, Mercury, particulate matter).
Alstom offers the complete range of products designed to help
power plants to either reduce pollutant and CO2 emissions, or
to produce clean electricity from the outset.
For example, we deliver new coal-fired power plants with an
advanced supercritical design using proven clean combustion
solutions that are integrated with state-of-the-art emission
controls. Similarly, we improve the thermal and
environmental efficiency of existing power plants by
retrofitting plant components or upgrading the whole system.
Investing in the future of clean power
Alstom is uniquely placed as a plant integrator and full-service
provider to design and manufacture all the components
of a clean power plant, from turbines such as the GT13E2
to generators, boilers and air quality control systems.
Alstom also invests substantially in the research and
development of new, environmentally friendly power solutions.
Together with partners, universities and customers in Europe
and the United States, we are working on collaborative
projects to develop solutions for pre- and post-combustion
CO2 capture and oxy-firing.

Research in action
In addition to our own R&D efforts to develop new emission
control technologies and improve existing techniques, we are
also involved in a number of public projects and partnerships,
notably in the field of CO2 capture and storage. The CASTOR
project (founded by the European Union) is studying
procedures for post-combustion separation that lower the cost
of CO2 capture and develop an understanding of the long
term storage mechanism. Within the ENCAP programme
(founded by the European Union), research is under way to
develop new pre-combustion and post-combustion CO2
capture technologies. The “Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power
Plants” (ZEP) technology platform launched by the European
Commission aims to develop and deploy new competitive
options for zero emission fossil fuel power plants.
