1. INTRODUCTION
The primary differences between the base LM2500SAC gas turbine and the LM2500+DLE gas turbine are
the reconfigured and enlarged combustion section, and 0 stage blades are added to the compressor.
The DLE weighs more, contains a larger fuel supply (manifold) system with new metering and staging
valves, and incorporates bleed air systems for the Compressor Discharge air extractions.
The LM2500+/DLE is approximately 14 inches longer the base LM2500. The LM2500+DLE series gas gener-
ator is a two-shaft engine consisting of a variable geometry compressor, a triple-annular combustor, a
high-pressure turbine (HPT), an accessory drive gearbox, and controls and accessories. The triple-annular
configuration enables the combustor to burn fuel at a lower temperature over a larger cross sectional area
to achieve the same bulk gas temperature rise as a single set of nozzles burning at a higher core tempera-
ture. Gas fuel is introduced into the combustor through 75 air/gas premixers packaged in 30 externally
removable and replaceable modules. Nitrogen emissions (NOx) increase dramatically with higher firing
temperatures, and by lowering the highest temperature, NOx levels are kept at a minimum across the en-
tire power range. The combustion configuration of the DLE system is efficient enough to also maintain the
unburned hydrocarbons (UHC’s or CO typically) at low levels in the same ranges. The premixers produce a
very uniformly mixed, lean fuel/air mixture with half of these modules having two premixers and the other
half have three. The bleed air control system consists of an off-gas-generator CDP (Compressor Discharge
Pressure) bleed-valve and valve actuator, which houses a torque-motor-positioned by a hydraulic servo.
Bleed air is piped to the exhaust section.

2 MECHANICAL UPGRADE
The mechanical portion of the DLE upgrade will consist of the following new components: triple annular
combustor, new gas manifolds, nozzles, gas metering systems, and a CDP bleed. The control system will
have to be upgraded in order to control the +DLE model engine (controls and fuel sequencing).
The New Triple Annular Combustor/Fuel System will require the complete replacement of the present sin-
gular annular combustor. The new fuel system will consist of new premix nozzles and gas fuel manifolds
(3). The gas supply is controlled to these 3 manifolds via separate metering valves.
The DLE model engine requires CDP bleed consisting of a bleed valve and valve actuator with piping to ex-
tend from the CDP on engine connection to the exhaust.
The installation of a Compressor Discharge Pressure (CDP) bleed valve, which releases engine CDP air into
the exhaust stack
LM25+ with modified base, new front mounts & CDP line
Added engine and package instrumentation will include the addition of another probe to measure CDP
pressure, 2 additional pressure probes to measure fuel manifold pressures, an additional dual element T3
temperature sensor, redundant P2/T2 sensors, and 2 additional pressure sensors for acoustics.
The new fuel system instrumentation will require a gas chromatograph to monitor ongoing fuel lower heat-
ing values (LHV), 3 new fuel metering valves, and 11 new fuel staging valves

The 3 Fuel Metering Valves (FMV) for the DLE system require a space approximately 900mm long x 1250
mm wide x 400 mm high. Locating the FMVs below the turbine and in the base similarly to the current GE
package arrangement is the preferred choice. Not exceeding the maximum entrapped fuel volume re-
quirement of the LM2500+DLE Installation Design Manual (IDM) is easier with this arrangement. The valves
are also in a protected location and make a neater arrangement. The arrangement will either be pre-
skidded to fit into the base, or will be built into the base piece by piece.
The on base gas fuel supply will also be modified to GE standards, full stainless steel components, new in-
struments, 24 VDC rated solenoids for valves adapted to the new Micronet/+ control system.
At standard day conditions, approximately 250,00 m3/h of filtered air is required of the combustion section
of the gas turbine. This can be accomplished through modification to the filter house in order to apply the
existing filter house full capacity or rating (3x 24 elements) for combustion air only. A separate filter module
will be placed in front of inlet plenum.
The Gas turbine enclosure ventilation extraction flow is rated for the LM2500 +/DLE requirements, no need
for modifications except the filtration module connected to the existing enclosure vent air supply ducts at
both sides of the inlet section of the package.

The turbine room and clean room (or inlet plenum) will have to be modified in order to accept the longer
+DLE. The inlet plenum will be moved forward up to 14” in order to accommodate the additional length of
the LM2500+DLE gas turbine and the IDM requirement for straight run distance to insure distortion free air-
flow. The turbine package has to be modified (made longer and the mounting system for the +DLE has to
be moved towards the clean room).

The interior crane must be replaced to accommodate the increased LM2500+DLE fuel manifold diameter
and be certified to hoist at least 6 tons. To move the engine outside the package, a permanent extension

the gas turbine assembly.

The new 6 stage Power Turbine will require a new exhaust collector provided with unique designed Flow
Enhancer.
The Exhaust Flow Enhancer reduces exhaust flow turbulence, which results in less backpressure and im-
proved efficiency of the LM2500 gas turbine. The Flow Enhancer is a patented design that smoothes out
the exhaust airflow and reduces backpressure on the exhaust collector. It incorporates a three-dimensional
curved structure design and is mounted in right-angle exhaust collectors and six stage power turbines of
LM2500 gas turbine.
The flow enhancer is designed to redirect the high velocity airflow to the center of the exhaust collector /
duct. Vibrations are significantly reduced on the downstream wall, which normally receives most of the
high-velocity turbulent airflow. This reduction will result in longer exhaust duct life and lower maint. cost.
The noise reduction is also a direct result of better flow distribution in the transition duct. This will improve
the efficiency of downstream heat recovery system and extend its maintenance period. Other performance
benefits in a typical industrial Cogeneration Plant include: decreased heat rate, increased power output,
and reduced backpressure

The existing GE Mark V™ control system will be replaced with a new control system based on Woodward
Micronet Plus technology with hardware and software supporting the LM2500+DLE. The Human Machine
Interface (HMI) will be replaced with a new desktop HMI configured with the latest Wonderware or iFix
software with the standard screens for the LM2500+DLE GTG in dual language (English/Spanish).

the latest Bently Nevada 3500 rack that includes combustor rumble detection for the +DLE engine combus-
tion monitoring and control.
The MicroNet™ Plus is a state-of-the-art digital controller that is programmable for a wide variety of control
applications. The MicroNet™ Plus control system provides a flexible platform to control any prime mover
and its associated processes such as high-speed control functions, system sequencing, auxiliary system
control, surge control, monitoring and alarming, and station control.

needs of prime mover control and protection. Exceptional accuracy, fast update rates, high channel-to-
channel isolation and other features differentiate them from more common industrial modules.
The MicroNet™ Plus control system can be configured (optional scope) with dual redundant CPU’s and
power supplies for increased reliability, as the system will be fault tolerant for CPU card failures. The 2nd
CPU card will be running in “hot standby” mode and will be immediately available to take over control of
the turbine package in the event of the first CPU failing. This will ensure continuous operation of the turbine
and reduce the number of shutdowns related to control system failures.
Field wiring is connected to the MicroNet Plus via Field Termination Modules (FTM). These FTMs provide an
easily accessible wire landing terminal strip for all field wiring. An electrical cable connects the FTM to its
respective MicroNet Plus module located in the MicroNet Plus rack. All I/O modules are identical to the
previous MicroNet family of plug-in modules.
External HMI communications are handled by Ethernet connections to the MicroNet Plus, thereby
facilitating remote operator control as well as graphical display of system parameters.
The MicroNet™ Plus is the latest evolution of the popular MicroNet™ product. The “Plus” features a series of
product enhancements and upgrades:
• Simplex or Dual Redundant CPU Option
o Synchronized Memory
o One Millisecond Transfer
o On-line Repairability

The MicroNet™ Plus system is based on a Motorola 5200 Core CPU design and provides extremely fast and
reliable data throughput. The speed of data handling is crucial for gas turbines application. The MicroNet™
Plus Control is a custom system and can be programmed to perform a host of applications including speed
control, system sequencing, auxiliary system control, STIG control, DLE, and shutdown functions, all in one
integrated package.
This powerful Motorola 5200 Based CPU coupled with Woodward’s Graphical Application Program (GAP™)
software rate group structure allows critical program code to be processed within 5 milliseconds. Less crit-
ical code is typically assigned to slower rate groups.

The unique programmable rate group structure assures deterministic update times for precise, predictable
control. GAP™ is programmed using an industry standard IBM compatible PC. The program is “built” by
connecting functional blocks to control signal flow. A picture of the MicroNet™ is shown.
MicroNet™ Plus input modules have tunable first order filters to compensate for fast transient noise spikes
that could cause inadvertent shutdowns. The filtering values are individually adjustable for each channel
so "problem" signals can be handled without affecting the responsiveness of the remaining clean signals
on the card.
The readings from the precision voltage reference are also used for on-line temperature compensation and
automatic calibration for thermocouple, current, and voltage modules. The signals read through the A/D
converter are used by the micro-controller to determine software scaling and offset constants for each
channel. This constant fine-tuning ensures that the MicroNet™ cards always read the exact correct signal
input and never need calibration.
The MicroNet™ Plus may also function as a First-Out indicator for system shutdowns, thus reducing trou-
bleshooting time. Multiple system shutdowns can be brought into the MicroNet™ to allow it to shutdown
the system safely, latch-in the cause of the shutdown, and time-stamp the event to a 1-millisecond resolu-
tion.
The MicroNet™ Plus control will communicate directly with the Human-Machine Interface/Engineering
Workstation through ModBus™ communication ports. These ports support RS-232, -422, or -485 commu-
nications using ASCII or RTU ModBus™ transmission protocols. Ethernet communication is also available.
The MicroNet™ Plus is custom engineered, allowing application engineers to configure the control to buy-
er’s specific application. Future control configuration changes can be made by site personnel using the
Windows based PCI interface or by Seller’s engineers. On-line adjustments are available to allow program
refinements while a unit is running. Inputs and Outputs are programmed as required by the application or
interface.

Monitor GAP works in parallel with the GAP graphical display and superimposes the actual runtime values
on that display. The user is then able to see directly all control values—true/false for Boolean variables and
numeric values for real or integer variables. In addition, Monitor GAP can edit variables that have been pre-
viously declared as ‘tunable’ in the original GAP design.
The basic GAP editor includes Monitor GAP within its core structure. As such, Monitor GAP software need
only be activated by installation of the GAP Editor/Monitor software and license authorization of the Moni-
tor GAP features.
Monitor GAP and the GAP editor both run on a PC, and both are required in order to view running values via
Monitor GAP. Both programs have access to the actual runtime values through an Ethernet TCP/IP connec-
tion that is running OPC protocol. Data is collected in real time so that the values displayed by Monitor GAP
are always current.
Watch Window II Professional is the Ethernet-enabled version of Watch Window Professional. It is an OPC
client that functions with Woodward’s OPC server, which is available on Woodward controls with Ethernet
OPC (supported with Intel Pentium CPU). The Watch Window Professional interfaces are typical Microsoft
Windows applications that provide a powerful and intuitive interface. The menu structures are familiar to
Windows users. Variable navigation is provided through the Explorer window similar to the Explorer in Win-
dows.
Monitoring and Tuning of Control Variables – Watch Window Standard allows the user both to monitor
selected system variables and to adjust tunable variables from the PC.
Management of Configuration and Set Points – Watch Window Standard can upload or download all tun-
able and configuration variables from the control system. This feature allows a user (e.g., fleet owner, dis-
tributor, packager) to upload (and save) all tunable parameters from one control and download the same
settings to other controls for similar engine configurations.

Data Capture - Datalog block within GAP (the application program) determines the variables available to
view. Data is collected at defined time intervals (5mS - 160mS) in the control system. The time span of the
data capture is determined by the time resolution, number of variables viewed, and control CPU memory.
Data Transfer - Data (from the Datalog block) is transferred from the control to the Control Assistant pro-
gram for viewing through a serial or Ethernet connection.
Graphing - Graphical viewing allows the plotting of control variables versus time. Any combination of vari-
ables may be viewed. Millisecond time stepping allows detailed off-line dynamic analysis.
Tunable Maintenance Utility includes the capture, sorting, comparing vs. baseline, saving, and uploading
new tunables to the control. This feature allows a user to download all the tunable information out of one
control system and upload it into another. Or download tunables from two control systems and compare
the difference.
HEX file download is the utility to load a new program into the control system.

The new BN3500 system with the full-size 3500 Rack is available in 19" EIA rail-mount, panel-cutout-mount,
and bulkhead-mount versions. The racks provide slots for two Power Supplies and a Rack Interface Module
in the left-most slots and are reserved exclusively for these modules. The remaining 14 slots in the rack can
be populated by any combination of monitor, display, relay, Keyphasor®, and communications gateway
modules. All modules plug into the rack's backplane and consist of both a front panel portion and an asso-
ciated I/O module at the rear of the rack where permanent wiring connections are made.
The BN3500 is the latest vibration system from Bently Nevada. The 3500/15 Power Supply can be ordered
for AC or DC input power, providing compatibility with voltage sources worldwide. It features line noise fil-
ters as standard. Single or dual Power Supplies may be used in a rack for redundancy when power inter-
ruption cannot be tolerated, and reside in upper and lower positions in the left-most rack slot. Redundant
Power Supplies can be energized with different voltage sources.
The Rack Interface Module (RIM) is the primary interface to the 3500 Rack for connection to configuration,
display, and condition monitoring software. One RIM is required for each rack, and it resides in the rack slot
immediately adjacent to the power supply(s). The RIM supports a proprietary protocol used to configure the
rack with 3500 Configuration Software and to retrieve rack data and statuses for 3500 Operator Display
Software. It also provides engineered connections using our proprietary Data Manager® protocol for con-
nection to an appropriate external communications processor such as TDXnet™, TDIX, or DDIX when Bently
Nevada's condition monitoring software is used with the 3500 System. The RIM must be located in the rack
slot immediately adjacent to the power supplies.
The RIM supplies "self monitoring" functions for itself and for the rack in addition to those provided by the
individual monitor, relay, communications, and other modules. While the RIM provides certain functions
common to the entire rack, it is not part of the critical monitoring path and has no effect on the normal op-
eration of the overall 3500 System or its machinery protection functions.
The BN3500 system monitors unfiltered broadband vibration signals (25–350Hz) detected by the engine-
mounted vibration sensors. The accelerometers signals are routed to the charge amplifiers (which are
normally mounted adjacent to the package). Since the wide band signal has already been filtered to the
necessary response curve in the charge amplifier, the 44M module is set for 1X and direct measurements.

For the new configuration GE propose to keep the existing MK V panel in the current location and take out
all the internals for the MK V control system. This panel will then be re-used to house the new BN3500
panel, the new F&G panel and all the LinkNet distributed I/O modules for the low-speed I/O’s connected to
the MicroNet Plus control system.
The MicroNet Plus control system will be installed I a new cabinet located back to back with the existing
customer panel in the middle of the panel room – side-ways straights in front of the existing MK V cabinet.
All the existing cables in the MK V panel that will connect to the high-speed I/O FTM’s for the MicroNet Plus
control will be pulled back to the center of the room and re-terminated in the new control panel. Field
cables with low-speed I/O will remain in the MK V cabinet and will be terminated on LinkNet modules that
will be mounted in the cabinet. Also Vibration signals and F&G signals will remain in the MK V cabinet and
will be terminated to the new BN3500 rack and to the new Allestec 800 F&G rack. Signals to/from the GCP
will also be handled through LinkNet modules mounted in the MK V cabinet.

requires a minimum learning curve and simplicity in installation as well as operation. One panel assembly is
designed to accommodate small to medium requirements. As many as 32 points of initiating devices can
accommodate a panel assembly. Field wiring is completed on a point-to-point installation between devices
and the panel. A remote abort is possible with the optional digital Abort Panel. Completely occupied, the
entire panel dimensions are only 3.5" high X 19" wide X 7"deep. Task specific modules perform functions
related to their respective input detectors or output appliances. The modules can be selected to
accommodate the best possible configuration while allowing room for expansion as necessary. Removal of
any module from the slot will induce a system fault.
All faults, including ground fault, are displayed at the lower half of the modules and are bussed to the
system Fault Module. The Fault Module can be silenced for any successive faults. All faults will be locally
announced at their respective modules and transferred at the Fault Module. All audible appliances can be
silenced locally or remotely. An inhibit function is provided to allow system testing of all operations without
solenoid activation. The panel cannot be reset until all active alarms have been cleared.
The system is protected from reverse voltage polarity, power surges, and RFI energy. Under voltage or over
voltage from the redundant power source will induce a fault and be displayed on the Fault Module. A cover
protector plate spans the length of the rack, containing the wire and associated terminal strips. Flow
through ventilation allows cool and silent operation without the need of forced air.
Aero derivative gas turbines consume large quantities of air, which even after filtering includes significant
amount of airborne particles. If allowed to accumulate, fouling deposits on the compressor airfoils reducing
airflow and thus reducing engine output.
Compressor washing can be accomplished atomizing a detergent solution into the bellmouth while the unit
is shut down motored by the starter (off-line wash) or during operation (on-line wash). On-line cleaning is

typically performed daily for extending the off-line cleaning interval, and thus minimizing downtime. Off-line
cleaning is more effective at removing airfoil deposits, but it is also more time consuming. Several wash
and rinse cycles are often required to remove deposits from compressor airfoils during an off-line wash.
The Gas Turbine Efficiency (GTE) direct injection compressor water wash system is a high-pressure engine-
mounted wash system, which can be used for both offline and online compressor cleaning. The GTE con-
cept provides extremely effective compressor cleaning by utilizing a patented optimal pressure (between
50 and 70 barg) spray of ideally sized heated water droplets through specially designed nozzles. The bene-
fits of the GTE concept, compared to traditional low-pressure systems, are reduced usage of chemicals,
minimized compressor blade leading edge erosion, a small footprint, and ease of implementation and op-
eration.
The GTE compressor wash system is comprised of the tank and control system assembly suitable to be as-
sembled in non-hazardous areas, and a nozzle kit. The nozzle kit includes the spray nozzles, interconnect-
ing high-pressure hoses, high-pressure stainless steel manifold filter, and all required couplings. The GTE
system design allows for both off-line and on-line washes to be performed with the same nozzle manifold,
same pressure and flow rate. All nozzle assembly welding is performed by certified welders and every noz-
zle kit is tested according to GTE NDT (non-destructive testing) methodology before delivery.
The only preventive maintenance required for the GTE nozzle hardware kit is cleaning the high pressure
filter (Recommended frequency is every six months. Frequency depends on water and fluid quality), and
nozzle cleaning with compressed air to prevent blocking. Also, it is recommended that the nozzle adapters
be tested annually, according to GTE NDT (Non Destructive Testing) methods.
