With up to 95% assembly in the factory, the LM2500XPRESS was created for speed and simplicity. The LM2500XPRESS comes pre-packaged in 10 simplified modules for easy install and features 27 electrical interconnects vs. 130+ for a traditional plant, as well as minimal mechanical interconnects. Module systems flushing is completed at the factory, so customers don’t need to flush on-site. For customers who need power in days, not weeks, the LM2500XPRESS can be installed in about 14 days by 20 people.
The LM2500’s high efficiency helps reduce operating costs, plant emissions, and reliance on the local grid. With its dual fuel capability, including singular annular combustor (SAC) or GE’s latest dual fuel dry low emissions (DLE) technology, the LM2500 delivers performance with low emissions in a variety of situations and water availability scenarios. It features high reliability with control system redundancy, along with multiple options for configuration, making it a great choice for customers who need a more tailored power generation solution. The LM2500’s cycling capability allows multiple daily starts and stops, providing a strong solution for grids with penetration of renewable generation. Its open configuration allows for faster accessibility, easier maintenance, and increased speed of engine removal/replacement.

Crunch the numbers
Did you know that reciprocating gas engines can release unburned methane at a rate that’s almost 150 times that of a gas turbine? This is known as “methane slip”, and it’s something you should know about. Our new calculator can help you determine your plant’s potential greenhouse gas savings and reduction in NOx and particulate matter.

GE Vernova’s aeroderivative gas turbine specialists support aero units in all sorts of situations – on land and at sea! As vacationers head to exotic locales aboard their favorite cruise ships, odds are they’ll see a GE One Field Services team aboard too, supporting the turbines that help keep the lights on, the kitchens operating, and the WiFi working. And when it comes time to replace one of the turbines, it’s a delicate operation to get the old engine safely off the ship and install the new one without damaging the vessel in the process.
