High-efficiency gas turbine technology

GE Vernova celebrates the start pf commercial operations of GE Vernova’s advanced HA technology at the Tongyeong combined cycle power plant in South Korea, marking a significant milestone in the country's energy transition. This state-of-the-art facility supplies over 1 gigawatt (GW) of electricity, sufficient to meet the needs of approximately 1 million South Korean households.

"GE Vernova is committed to bringing more affordable, reliable and sustainable power generation technology to South Korea.  We are confident that the adoption of their advanced HA technology will play a significant role in moving the country towards becoming an energy self-reliant nation."

The Dongguan Ningzhou power plant, powered by GE Vernova’s H-Class technology, is now adding 2.4 GW of efficient, lower-carbon power to China’s national grid, accelerating the coal-to-gas transition in Guangdong Province.

"GE Vernova has long been our company of choice when transitioning our power plants from coal to natural gas, and we trust that in the future GE Vernova technology will help us approach net-zero carbon emissions."

GE Vernova’s H-Class 9HA.01 gas turbine, part of a consortium project with SEPCOIII and POWERCHINA, will power a 600 MW hydrogen-blended facility. This turbine technology, supported by an advanced DLN2.6e combustion system, can operate on up to 50% hydrogen, with potential for 100% in the future, offering both flexibility and lower emissions.

"By 2027, we intend to expand our power generation capabilities in Jurong Island, Singapore with one of the most advanced natural gas power technologies that is hydrogen-compatible, to help meet the nation’s growing electricity needs and ensure energy security. Our collaboration with GE Vernova on the 600MW hydrogen-capable CCGT project marks a significant milestone in Singapore’s journey toward a more sustainable energy future."

"Tambak Lorok project represents a milestone for Indonesia, adding to the system a large-capacity plant that brings stability to the country's electricity matrix. We trust GE Vernova, Marubeni Corporation, and Hutama Karya have delivered the highest standard of quality and safety in building this power plant."

The plant began operations in 2022, and is delivering more than 1,400 MW to the national grid – enough electricity to supply the equivalent of up to 2 million average Thai homes—and will help Thailand achieve its goal of securing 57,460 MW of power generation capacity by 2036.

"Thailand's largest gas-fired power plant, this 1,400 MW combined-cycle facility is owned and operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and is equipped with 2 of GE's 9HA gas turbines."

"From a longstanding relationship with GE, we trust its HA technology and are proud to see hard work and efficiency achieve the start of GE’s first-ever commercial-operation 9HA.02 gas turbines, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, without having to compromise on health and safety."

Alor Gajah’s 2,242 MW plant is Malaysia’s largest combined-cycle gas turbine power plant. Now running three combined-cycle blocks of GE Vernova 9HA gas turbines, a new heat recovery steam generator, and a steam turbine, Alor Gajah can provide up to 10% of the country’s energy needs.

"The starring equipment comes from General Electric. We’re using GE’s latest technology in the gas turbine sector to generate enough power to light up 10% of the country’s electricity requirements."

With countries all over the world looking for ways to decarbonize energy and fight climate change, GE Vernova just helped the US take an important first step. Together with New Fortress Energy, GE Vernova announced that Long Ridge in Ohio will be the first purpose-built hydrogen-burning power plant in the United States and the first worldwide to blend hydrogen in a GE Vernova H-class gas turbine. The plant utilizes a GE Vernova 7HA.02 combustion turbine, which can burn between 15-20% hydrogen by volume in the gas stream initially, with the capability to transition to 100% hydrogen over time.

"We’re pleased to be working with technology providers such as GE Gas Power as part of our goals to accelerate the coal-to-gas transition, manage energy shortages, stabilize the grid, and support the growth of renewables in Taiwan. We trust that GE’s aeroderivative gas power technology will help provide fast, flexible and more sustainable power for the people of Taiwan."

The state of Queensland in Northeastern Australia has an ambitious operation to help Australia meet its GHG reduction target while simultaneously keeping its regional electrical grid stable. The Brigalow Peaking Power Plant will use 12 GE Vernova LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbines to produce electricity using a mix of both natural gas and green hydrogen.

"Brigalow Peaking Power Plant can provide… multiple start/stop cycles per day and the ability to ramp up to full power output within a few minutes. This project is an example of how we plan to create clean energy hubs at our power stations to deliver the energy mix needed to reliably transition the grid to renewable energy."

The ESB of Ireland will work with GE Vernova to supply and maintain several LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbines to the Shannonbridge power plant in central Ireland. The plant is expected to operate as a temporary reserve plant during the 2023-2024 winter season and up through the end of the 2026-2027 winter season.

"We’re proud to continue to work with ESB and to be bringing one of the best and most efficient aeroderivative packages and O&M services at the Shannonbridge Power Plant and contribute to the security of Ireland’s electricity supply."

A new TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine unit will supply up to 34 MW, enough energy to power the residential consumption of between 12,000 and 18,000 customers, and may potentially help stabilize the country’s grid. Even more impressive, the installation and commissioning of the equipment was completed in only 42 days.

"The highest peak of energy consumption during summer in New Providence is 250 MW and in winter goes down to 160-170 MW. Having an additional capacity of up to 34 MW is significant for our operation and will allow us to deliver a better service to our customers and to the millions of tourists who visit us every year. On top of that, this kind of technology could enable us to respond more quickly to natural disasters like Hurricane Dorian."
