GAS POWER SYSTEMS CATALOG I INDUSTRY OVERVIEW POWERING THE FUTURE with GAS POWER SYSTEMS
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Growth in Energy Demand
Today, one out of every six people in the world is without access to electricity. Power demand is
growing globally and access to reliable, affordable electricity is a critical enabler for economic growth ENERGY DRIVERS CAPACITY DRIVERS
and quality of life. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2020, the global economy’s • Economic growth (GDP) • Environmental policy
GDP is expected to grow by 3.5 percent annually and the population will increase by about one billion. • Population growth • Economic displacement
In line with these economic and demographic forecasts, the IEA projects that total energy demand • Industrial vs. service sector growth • Peak demand growth
will rise by one-third through 2040. This corresponds to a 1 percent compound annual growth rate •D

growth rate across the rest of the world. Between new installed capacity and retired plants, an
additional 6,700 gigawatts (GW) of power is expected to be added in the next 25 years.
POWER GENERATION TRENDS
PEOPLE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY TODAY Gas is the fastest growing of the fossil fuels and, within the next 18 years, is forecasted to
become the single largest source of installed capacity. By 2040, the OECD/IEA expects gas to
emerge as a power player in the global energy mix, rivaling the popularity of the industry’s
traditional choices: coal and oil.
Renewable power capacity additions will be twice that of gas additions in the next decade; however

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
It is rare to find a gas-fired power plant that operates the same way it did the day it was commissioned.
Gas-fired power plants have the flexibility to operate with different load factors and characteristics to
achieve the desired economic outcomes every day. This variability is valuable, but only if customers
understand the limitations of their products. GE contemplates these limits when products are first
designed and can help customers optimize performance and profitability by predicting and responding
to construction, plant, and market dynamics.
Over the next decade, there will be ~$1.3 trillion of value to be captured
by plant owners and generators in the digital transformation.
Further changing the operational landscape is the convergence of hardware, digital software, and
advanced analytics. This digital transformation is disrupting the electricity industry, challenging
old models and creating unprecedented opportunities. Power generation is becoming more
reliable, affordable, and sustainable with technologies that lower costs, improve efficiency, and
reduce carbon output.
GE is a strategic partner in this transformation, and can provide masterful guidance and support
as the industry evolves to accommodate flexibility and connectivity challenges.

GE’S GAS POWER SYSTEMS CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY

Delivering for our Customers A WORLD RECORD
62.22% EFFICIENCY I FULL POWER IN < 30 MIN I GENERATES > 605 MW
GE’s 9HA.01 gas turbine is powering EDF’s 605 MW combined

cycle power plant, the most efficient combined cycle power
plant in the world. Generating the equivalent power needed
to supply 680,000 homes, the Bouchain plant is the latest
achievement in a 45-year partnership between GE and EDF.
The flexibility of a fast start allows partners to respond
quickly to grid demand fluctuations, integrating renewables
as necessary. Bouchain’s CO2 emissions are approximately
55 percent less than a standard thermal power plant. When
the turbine burns 3.3 tons of natural gas mixed with air –
equivalent to 23 tanker trucks – out comes just 6.3 fluid ounces
of pollution, a volume slightly larger than a half-can of soda.

AT A GLANCE
ALUMINIUM BAHRAIN B.S.C. (ALBA)

Alba is one of the largest aluminum smelters in the world, and with a new 1,792 MW
combined cycle power plant, Alba will be the first smelter to use H-class technology.
Three 9HA gas turbines will power the Line 6 smelter, providing highly reliable power
that can quickly respond to load fluctuations from the smelter. Aluminum production
is very energy intensive, with electricity typically accounting for a significant portion
of production costs. GE’s HA technology will help Alba add 540,000 metric tonnes per
annum (mtpa) to its current production, boosting the company’s ability to sustain its
competitive position in the global market.
PANAMA
Panama’s small power grid isn’t conducive to traditional H-class technology, but when
a power company in the country needed a dual fuel solution that could accommodate
imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), they turned to GE. We are delivering highly
efficient, intermediate-sized machines to power a 350 MW combined cycle power
plant that will be Panama’s first natural gas-fired generation plant. Dual fuel capability
will enable the plant to switch sources and maintain consistent availability should
imported LNG fuel become unavailable. This project supports the country’s
2015-2020 National Energy Plan, which aims to generate at least 70 percent of
its power from renewable sources and reduce energy sector emissions.

that incorporates 3D arrangement with its Digital Twin, a collection of physics-based methods and
advanced analytics that model the present state of assets in a virtual view of the power plant.
These system-level models utilize both physics-based domain knowledge as well as terabytes of
operational and test data to simulate asset-level and plant-level performance, cost, emissions, and
life. GE is developing machine-learning algorithms to evolve the Digital Twin throughout the plant’s
life cycle and to build “what if” scenario plans to help improve plant design and construction.
As a new plant transitions from construction to commercial operation, Digital Power Plant
applications connect the Digital Twin with advanced controls to achieve improved performance
and customized operations. The software applications allow power plant owners to optimize
the performance and profitability of their systems with better informed short- and long-term
decisions to balance revenue, cost, and risk. Predictive analytics and control simulations consider
past and future scenarios and advanced control capabilities act to achieve desired outcomes.
Digital Twin is the key to unlocking the next chapter in power plant engineering, procurement,
and construction.
With Digital Power Plant solutions you can:

• Reduce variable operating and maintenance costs by planning outages with odometers &
performance recovery advisors.
• Reduce operating costs utilizing efficiency optimizer, start agility, fast load following, and
turndown.
• Increase MWh generation while managing outage intervals utilizing peak fire, cold part load,
and dispatch optimizer.
• Maintain system flexibility and reliability while riding through extreme grid events or
participating in fast frequency regulation with virtual battery.
DID YOU KNOW?

The value of a Digital Power Plant over the life of an average 500 MW
plant is estimated at $230 million for new plants and $50 million
for existing plants.

MOBILE FAST POWER CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY

EGYPT
Egypt’s demand for electricity is growing, which is why

the government teamed with GE on a project to deliver
more than 2.6 GW of electricity – enough to power the
equivalent of 2.5 million homes. 1.2 GW of that power,
supplied by 20 TM2500 gas turbines and 14 LM6000
gas turbines, was delivered and commissioned just six
months after the contract signing. By working quickly
to get the gas turbines up and running before the
2015 summer peak, GE predicted that Egypt avoided
$24.7 million in economic losses per day, or $4.1 billion
over the course of the demanding summer season.

The bottoming cycle consists of an heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), steam turbine generator,
and heat rejection system, and is responsible for converting gas turbine exhaust energy to electrical
power and heat energy (in CHP applications). The bottoming cycle represents about 33 percent of a

STEAM TURBINE PORTFOLIO

When the Alstom and GE portfolios merged in 2015 we created the industry’s most competitive THE GE ADVANTAGE
and advanced steam turbine portfolio. Alstom’s steam turbines business originated in 1901 when
Brown-Boveri Company (BBC) built continental Europe’s first steam turbine in Frankfurt, Germany,
operating with an output of 250 kW. Within a year, BBC had delivered 16 more steam turbines
with a combined output of 15 MW. GE’s first commercial steam turbine was shipped in 1903,
making 5,000 kW for use in Newport, Rhode Island (United States). Within the next 10 years an
estimated 1,000 steam turbines were sold by GE to companies in the United States.
Fast forward a few generations and countless technical advances, and today, GE’s steam turbines
are pushing upwards of 44 percent shaft efficiency while accommodating outputs of 15 MW to
700 MW. GE’s products account for more than 41 percent of the world’s installed steam turbine
base, and in the last 100+ years, have produced more than 1.2 TW of power production capability.
Our steam turbine portfolio has the breadth and depth to meet any project-specific need, integrating
seamlessly with our gas turbines, HRSGs, and balance of plant to ensure operational success,
satisfaction, and profitability for our customers.

OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

The final step in the power plant schematic is electrical conversion—supplying power to the grid,
which is facilitated by an industrial generator and the electrical balance of plant (EBoP). GE has an
installed base of 12,000+ turbine generators, and more than a century of experience delivering
innovative, high voltage solutions in generation, transmission, and distribution networks.
Our portfolio of generator and EBoP offerings is configured to serve your needs, no matter how
specific or unique. When selecting a generator for your project, our engineers will consider a range
of variables, including desired output, and gas and steam turbine selection. Connecting systems
to one another as well as the plant to the electrical grid requires an intimate understanding of the
power generation process. For EBoP, GE offers a versatile and robust suite of solutions for today’s
increasingly complex power plants.
