LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine

LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine

Product catalog summary
Overview: GE's LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is a leader in the +40 MW space, with over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,320 units shipped. It boasts greater than 99% start and operational reliability and over 98% availability. The turbine's 5-minute fast start enhances dispatch capability, while its two-spool configuration reduces maintenance costs. Its universal and modular packaging allows for a smaller footprint and quicker installation and commissioning.
Specifications: The LM6000 offers a 53 MW simple cycle output with over 40% efficiency. It is GE's first gas turbine paired with a battery energy storage system, with four units already operational, expanding into a new "hybrid" product line. It operates at both 50/60 Hz frequencies.
Performance Metrics:
  • Simple Cycle (SC) Performance: Net Output: 46.6 - 53.9 MW, Net Heat Rate: 8,533 - 8,357 Btu/kWh (LHV), Efficiency: 40.0% - 40.8%.
  • 1x Combined Cycle (CC) Performance: Net Output: 60.3 - 72.4 MW, Net Heat Rate: 6,571 - 6,170 Btu/kWh (LHV), Efficiency: 51.9% - 55.3%, Minimum Load: 19.0% - 37.0%, Ramp Rate: 50 MW/min, Startup Time: 30 minutes.
  • 2x Combined Cycle (CC) Performance: Net Output: 121.1 - 145.6 MW, Net Heat Rate: 6,541 - 6,134 Btu/kWh (LHV), Efficiency: 52.2% - 55.6%, Minimum Load: 19.0% - 18.0%, Ramp Rate: 100 MW/min, Startup Time: 30 minutes.
Additional Features: The LM6000 has up to 35% hydrogen capability, enhancing its versatility and environmental performance.
Note: All ratings are net plant, based on ISO conditions and natural gas fuel. Actual performance will vary with project-specific conditions and fuel.
