1.1.5 Output Enhancements


Various options are available to improve the typical OUTPUT-MW profile of the LM6000
gas turbine. To improve high ambient temperature performance, either evaporative cooling or
coils for mechanical chilling are available.= GE Energy will work with the customer to
determine the applicability of of these enhancements to their particular case.

1.1.6 High Availability and Reliability


The LM6000 gas turbine generator set has a proven record of high availability and reliability.
With more than 700 units installed since 1992, the LM6000 gas turbine generator set leads the
industry in reliability greater than 99.7%* and availability above 98.6%*. Each gas turbine is
factory tested to full speed and full load for performance and mechanical integrity. Every
package is static tested to check each system of the package. Refer to section 1.2.1 for static
testing summary.
Leveraging aircraft experience and design, the aeroderivative design approach incorporates
features such as split castings, modular construction, individual replacement of internal and
external parts, and GEs lease pool engine program. The extensive use of high quality
components common with its parent aircraft engine validates engine reliability and offers
reduced parts cost.
Various inspections and hot section repairs can be performed on the gas turbine at site within
the turbine enclosure. The Hot Section,HPT and combustor, can be removed/replaced in the
field within seventy-two hours allowing for greater availability during planned maintenance.
Greater availability is achieved by the on-condition maintenance program, which inspects and
repairs only as necessary to desired operational condition.
* 50th percentile of 233 units reporting into ORAP as of July 2007.

Performance guarantees for power and efficiency are based on the condition and cleanliness
of the gas turbine. If more than 200 fired hours have elapsed before conducting a

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 19 of 156

performance test, a GE Energy representative has the right to inspect the unit to ensure
condition and cleanliness standards have been met. The guarantees are also based on a site
test conducted in accordance with GE Energys standard practices and protocols as described
in the Test Specifications. GE Energy reserves the right to have a representative present
during the performance test.

7. Mechanical Descriptions - Major Equipment

7.1

Turbine Engine

The LM6000 is a 2-shaft gas turbine engine derived from the core of the CF6-80C2, GE's
high thrust, high efficiency aircraft engine. More than eighteen hundred CF6-80C2s are in
service and 2,000 or more are on order or option. The CF6-80C2 has logged more than
30,000,000 flight hours in the Boeing 747 and other wide-body aircraft, with a 99.88%
dispatch reliability and commercial aviation's lowest shop visit rate. GE used this 30 million
hour flight experience to create the LM6000. Both engines have a common design and share
most major parts. The Low Pressure Turbine, High Pressure Compressor, High Pressure
Turbine, and Combustor are virtually identical. This use of flight-proven parts, produced in
high volume, contributes to the low initial cost and high operating efficiency of the LM6000.

LM6000 Turbine Engine

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

7.1

Turbine Engine (Cont)

Major Engine Components:

5-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC)


14-stage variable geometry high pressure compressor (HPC)
Annular combustor
2-stage air-cooled high pressure turbine (HPT)
5-stage low pressure turbine (LPT)
Accessory Gear Box

The LM6000 has two concentric rotor shafts: The LPC and LPT are assembled on one shaft,
forming the Low Pressure Rotor. The HPC and HPT are assembled on the other shaft,
forming the High Pressure Rotor.
The LM6000 uses the Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) to power the output shaft. By eliminating
the separate power turbine found in many other gas turbines, the LM6000 design simplifies
the engine, improves fuel efficiency and permits direct-coupling to 3600 rpm generators for
60 Hz power generation. The LM6000 gas turbine drives the generator via a flexible dry type
coupling connected to the front, or cold, end of the LPC shaft.

7.1.1 Turbine Cycle

Filtered air enters the bellmouth and flows through guide vanes to the LPC
LPC compresses air by 2.4:1 ratio
Air flows from LPC through the front frame & bypass air collector to HPC
Air enters HPC through Inlet Guide Vanes
The HPC compresses air by 12:1 ratio
30 Fuel (SAC) nozzles or 75 fuel (DLE) nozzles mix air and fuel
Air-Fuel mixture is ignited in Annular Combustor
Hot combustion gases expand through HPT driving the HPC
Hot combustion gasses expand further through LPT driving the LPC and load
Flanged end of the LPC shaft drives the electric generator load.
Exhaust gasses exit engine/package at the exhaust flange

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 34 of 156

7.1.2 Inlet and IGV Section


The turbine inlet straightens the air stream and directs it into the Low Pressure Compressor
(LPC).

7.1.3 Low Pressure Compressor


The Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) is a 5-stage axial flow compressor with a 2.4:1 pressure
ratio. It is derived from the CF6-50 flight engine. A horizontally split casing provides access
to blades and vanes. Borescope ports permit flow path inspection.

7.1.4 Bypass Air Collector


The LM6000 matches the airflow between the Low Pressure (LP) and High Pressure
Compressor (HPC) with 12 hydraulically actuated variable bypass valves mounted in the
turbine front frame. During start-up and part-load operation these valves open partially and
vent excess air to the bypass air collector. The bypass air collector also supports the
accessory gearbox.

7.1.5 High Pressure Compressor


The LM6000 High Pressure Compressor (HPC) is a 14-stage unit. Variable stators in stages
1-5 ensure high efficiency throughout the starting and operating range. The stator geometry
of stages 6 through 14 is fixed horizontally. This allows ready access to the stator vanes and
rotor blades for inspection or replacement.

7.1.6 Combustion Section


7.1.6.1 Singular Annular Combustor (SAC)
Thirty nozzles feed fuel into the LM6000 annular combustor, providing a uniform heat profile
to the High Pressure Turbine (HPT). This produces maximum output with low thermal stress.
The swirler-cup dome design produces a lean thoroughly mixed, mixture in the primary zone
of the combustor. This provides cleaner combustion and reduces NOX. Available nozzle
designs allow natural gas, distillate or dual-fuel operation. The nozzles also permit NOX
reduction with water injection (natural gas and distillate fuels) and steam injection (natural
gas fuel only). The annular combustor design provides low pressure loss, low exit
temperature and extended operating life. A Hastelloy X inner liner resists corrosion and
extends combustor life.
7.1.6.1.1

Dry Low Emissions (DLE) Combustor

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 35 of 156

The DLE system controls NOx emissions without the use of water or steam. GE Energy
installs special combustors, manifolds, nozzles and metering to control flame temperature and
reduce emissions of NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons. This DLE system reduces
emissions over the entire power range, not just at high power settings.
The fuel system hardware supplied with the DLE gas turbine includes a base mounted gas
manifold, hoses, staging valves, and a set of thirty fuel premixers. The LM6000 DLE gas
turbine utilizes a lean premix combustion system designed for operation on natural gas fuel as
well as dual fuel. Gas fuel is introduced into the combustor via 75 air/gas premixers packaged
in 30 externally removable and replaceable modules. The premixers produce a very uniformly
mixed, lean fuel/air mixture. The triple annular configuration enables the combustor to
operate in premix mode across the entire power range, minimizing nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions even at low power.
The head end or dome of the combustor supports 75 segmented heat shields that form the
three annular burning zones in the combustor, known as the outer or A-dome, the pilot or Bdome, and the inner or C-dome. In addition to forming the three annular domes, the heat
shields isolate the structural dome plate from the hot combustion gases. The heat shields are
an investment-cast superalloy and are impingement and convection cooled. The combustion
liners are front mounted with thermal barrier coating (TBC) and no film cooling.
Fuel to the gas turbine will be controlled based on control mode, fuel schedules, and the load
condition. For normal start sequence (13 minutes), gradual load changes are preferred with at
least 5-minute ramp from idle to maximum power. If a fast start (10 minutes) is required, the
load may be ramped from idle to full load in 4 minutes as part of the start sequence provided
in Operation. Normal load reduction transients should be no faster than 2-3 minutes from
maximum power to synchronous idle.

7.1.7 High Pressure Turbine


The High Pressure Turbine (HPT) is a 2-stage, air-cooled turbine rotated by the hot gasses
exiting the combustor. The HPT powers the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) to supply highpressure air to the combustor. Turbine disks, blades and stator are air-cooled for efficiency.
Blades are coated to resist erosion and corrosion.

7.1.8 Low Pressure Turbine


The 5-stage Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) receives the outlet flow from the HPT. The LPT
drives the Low Pressure Compressor and the driven load (generator, compressor, etc.) through
a shaft concentric to the HPT shaft.

7.1.9 Gas Turbine Support Structures

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 36 of 156

The LM6000 gas turbine uses three frames to support the LP and HP rotors, the front frame,
compressor rear frame and the turbine rear frame. This configuration produces excellent rotor
stability and closely controlled blade tip clearance.

7.1.9.1

Front Frame

The LM6000 front frame is a major engine structure that provides sup-port for the LPC shaft
and the forward end of the HPC shaft. The frame also forms an airflow path between the
outlet of the LPC and the inlet of the HPC. The front engine mounts attach to the front frame.
The front frame contains the engine A sump that incorporates the thrust and radial bearings
to support the LPC rotor and a radial bearing which supports the forward end of the HPC
rotor. Lubrication oil supply and scavenge lines for the A sump are routed inside the front
frame struts. The accessory gearbox drive shaft is located in the A sump and extends out
through the strut located at the six oclock position.
Pads are contained on the frame outer case for mounting of the two High Pressure
Compressor inlet temperature sensors.

7.1.9.2

Compressor Rear Frame

The compressor rear frame consists of an outer case, 10 struts and the B-C sump housing.
The outer case supports the combustor and 30 fuel nozzles. The hub supports both the thrust
bearing, the radial bearing and in turn, the mid-section of the HP rotor system.

7.1.9.3

Turbine Rear Frame

The turbine rear frame supports the rear engine mount and contains the D-E sump. The 14strut rear frame guides and straightens the exhaust flow for lower pressure drop and greater
efficiency.

7.1.10 Accessory Drive System


The hydraulic starter, lube and scavenge pump, variable geometry hydraulic pump, and other
accessories are mounted on and driven by the accessory gearbox. The accessory gearbox is
located below the front HPC casing at the six o'clock position on the LPC bleed air collector
and is driven by the transfer gearbox through a short horizontal shaft. The transfer gearbox is
driven by the high-pressure rotor system. The gearbox is supported from the LPC bleed air
collector.

7.4.2 General Arrangement


The three-section inlet air filter mounts directly above the turbine enclosure, conserving space
and providing compact, low-pressure loss ducting to the turbine inlet.
The filtered air is partitioned within the filter house assembly, providing combustion air for
the gas turbine and ventilation air for the turbine and generator compartments.
The filter is designed for easy maintenance. A ladder and platform provides access to service
doors on each filter section. Lighted internal walkways provide generous working room for
replacement and maintenance of the filter elements.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

AIR FILTER

Air Inlet Filter Assembly

7.4.3 Filter House Materials


The filter housing is constructed of 3/16 inch / 76 mm (verify units) steel plate. Protective
paint is applied to the exterior and interior carbon steel surfaces.
Floors and drain pans downstream of the optional evaporative cooler media or optional inlet
air chiller coils are stainless steel to resist corrosion.

7.4.4 Inlet Screens/Weatherhood


The weather hood provides a deflecting surface to prevent driving rain and snow from
entering the filter house. In addition paper, leaves and wind-blown trash are blocked by the
inlet screen. This structural component makes up the exterior face of the filter house and is
manufactured from carbon steel.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 41 of 156

7.4.5 Barrier Filter


The high-efficiency cylindrical barrier filter elements are mounted to the filter face of the inlet
plenum and extend into the clean air plenum. The elements have extended surface area, large
dirt holding capacity and low-pressure drop. Air flows through the elements from inside to
outside keeping dirt safely trapped inside the element. The filter elements are designed
specifically for gas turbine protection, and are particularly effective in filtering particles 5
microns or larger.

7.4.6 Clean Air Plenum


Air passes through the barrier filters and enters the clean air plenum. This fabricated structure
is the center section of the inlet filter assembly and separates ventilation air from combustion
air.

7.4.7 Transition Ducts


Combustion air flows through a transition duct from the clean air plenum to the combustion
air inlet silencer. Ventilation air flows through transition ducts to the turbine and generator
compartment.

7.4.8 Inlet Silencer


The inlet silencer is a low-pressure-drop device located in the combustion air stream before
the inlet volute. The silencer attenuates noise from the turbine and helps maintain the unit's
low noise level.

7.4.9 Inlet Volute


The inlet volute is stainless steel weldment that directs the combustion air flowing down from
the filter and turns it 90 to flow axially into the turbine inlet. Vanes within the volute smooth
the airflow and present a balanced air stream to the turbine bellmouth.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 42 of 156

7.5

Package Enclosures

The package is equipped with a generator and a turbine enclosures plus an optional auxiliary
module enclosure is available. The unit enclosures are designed for outdoor installation with
wind loads up to 150 mph / 240 km/h and to reduce the average near field noise to 85 dB (A)
at 3 ft. / 1.0 m from the enclosure and 5 ft. / 1.5m above grade. Each compartment is provided
with access doors and AC lighting.
The turbine compartment contains an integral overhead bridge crane to facilitate engine
removal.
Enclosure walls are a sandwich construction filled with insulation blankets of high
temperature, sound attenuating material. The inner wall panel is fabricated from perforated
1.21 mm / 18-gauge stainless steel. The outer wall panel is 1.9 mm / 14-gauge cold rolled
carbon steel, painted with abrasion resistant, exterior quality epoxy paint.
The turbine and generator compartment walls are supported by a structural steel framework
that can withstand external wind loading and the internal pressure developed by the fire
extinguishing system. External door hinges, latches and mounting hardware are stainless steel
or chrome plated.

7.5.1 Enclosure Lighting


AC lighting for the interior of the gas turbine and generator compartments is provided.

7.5.2 Enclosure Ventilation System


The ventilation system removes heat from the turbine and generator compartments and
removes combustible gases in the event of a fuel system failure. Both the turbine
compartment and generator compartment are fully ventilated by redundant fans to improve
reliability. Ventilation air is filtered to the same quality levels as the gas turbine combustion
air.

Gas Turbine Generator Package Airflow

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 44 of 156

7.5.2.1

Turbine Compartment Ventilation

Ventilation air enters the turbine compartment around the inlet collector. Dual 125 hp / 93 kW
exhaust fans (1 running / 1 standby) create an induced-draft airflow of approximately 60,000
scfm / 1,699 m3.
7.5.2.2

Generator Compartment Ventilation

Filtered air is forced into the generator compartment by dual 100 hp / 75 kW forced draft fans
(1 running / 1 stand-by) through ducts from the inlet air filter. The 45,000 scfm / 1,270
m3/min. airflow cools the generator and the generator compartment.
The ventilation fans produce a positive pressure in the generator compartment, providing
additional isolation from the turbine compartment for gas leak protection purposes. This
contributes to classification of the generator compartment as a non-hazardous area.

7.5.3 Noise Control


The LM6000 enclosure and air inlet silencer reduce the average near field noise to 85 dB (A)
at 3 ft. / 1.0 m from the enclosure and 5 ft / 1.5 m above grade.
Lower noise limits can be provided with optional silencing equipment. Noise control will
depend on the scope of the equipment supplied, the site plan, and project specific
requirements.

7.5.4 Turbine Exhaust


The LM6000 exhausts air is extracted axially through a flange located at the end of the
turbine enclosure. This provides low restrictions and a direct path into optional, or customersupplied silencing or heat recovery equipment.

7.6

Baseplate

LM6000 generator sets are mounted on rugged I-beam baseplates to simplify shipping and
installation.
The basic equipment is supplied with the support structures consisting of a two-piece skid
assembly, which is sectioned between the gas turbine and the generator. The full depth, bolted
section is designed to provide the full structural properties of the wide flange I-beams. Full
depth crossmembers are utilized to provide a rigid design that meets the requirements of IBC
2006 and is therefore suitable for installation in earthquake areas. The baseplate support
system is enhanced by the installation of a heavy-duty, welded superstructure which utilizes 6
inch x 6 inch x 3/8 inch wall structural tubing for wall columns and roof beams.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 45 of 156

Tapered pins between the baseplates simplify field alignment and lifting spools are built into
the baseplates providing a convenient structure for transportation.

7.7

turbine compartment, adjacent to the engine.

Fuel gas strainer


Fuel gas flow meter
Instrumentation
Primary shutoff valve
Fuel metering valve
Secondary shutoff valve
Fuel gas manifold
Shipped loose manual shut-off valve

7.7.1.1

Gas Fuel Flow

Pressure and Temperature Monitoring

Pressure transmitters monitor the fuel supply pressure up stream and downstream of the fuel
metering valve and forward the data to the fuel control and sequencer system. A platinum,
dual element temperature RTD monitors fuel supply temperature and forwards the data to the
fuel control and sequencer system.
7.7.1.3

Fuel Shutoff Valves and Safety Venting

Fuel shutoff valves manage gas flow to the combustor. Solenoid piloted fuel shutoff valves
are quick-closure valve assemblies located upstream and downstream of the gas fuel metering
valve. These fail-close valves are either fully open to allow fuel flow or fully closed to
prevent fuel flow.
During startup, the shutoff valves are opened and fuel flow to the gas manifold is metered by
the gas fuel metering valve. During shutdown, when the shutoff valves are closed, a solenoidoperated vent valve opens to vent the fuel supply line between shutoff valves to a safe area.
A gas fuel drain valve opens during certain shutdown conditions to purge the gas manifold
and the engine.

7.7.1.4

Fuel-Metering Valve

The electronically controlled fuel valve provides accurate, non-pulsating fuel flow to the
turbine during starting, steady-state operation and dynamic load changes.
Low fuel gas pressure starting is possible, using the electrical output of the LM6000 to power
a fuel gas compressor. The LM6000 can start on a minimum 200 psig / 1,380 kPag fuel gas
pressure. At this pressure the LM6000 produces enough electrical power to start a fuel gas
compressor. The compressor then builds the fuel gas pressure up for full power output.
This bootstrap starting simplifies gas utility requirements and eliminates high electrical
demand charges for starting the gas compressor motors. Contact GE for your specific
application.

Independent Lube Oil Systems

The LM6000 gas turbine is lubricated with synthetic lube oil (SLO) while a separate mineral
lube oil (MLO) system lubricates the generator.
Dual shell and tube coolers with valves for on-line changeover are used to cool both turbine
and generator lube oil. The SLO & MLO coolers are mounted on the auxiliary module.
Lube oil piping, fittings and reservoirs are Type 304 stainless steel and valves have stainless
steel trim.

7.8.1 Gas Turbine Lube Oil System


The gas turbine lube oil system has two lube oil circuits:
Supply System - Provides filtered, cool oil to the turbine bearings.
Scavenge System - Recovers (scavenges) the lube oil from the bearing drain sumps. It also
filters and cools the oil and returns it to the reservoir.
These two circuits cool, lubricate and protect the turbine. The turbine supply system contains
the following major components:

SLO reservoir
Supply pump
Supply filter

The scavenge system contains the following major components:

7.8.1.1

Turbine Lube Oil Supply Description

Approximately 130 U.S. gallons / 492 l of synthetic lube oil are stored in the 150 U.S. gallon
/ 568 l capacity stainless steel reservoir mounted on the auxiliary module. The reservoir is
fitted with a low-level alarm switch, a level gauge, a level transmitter, a filler connection, and
a demister/flame arrestor. The reservoir also includes a thermostatically controlled heater and
a lube oil temperature transmitter.
A positive displacement lube oil pump, mounted on the gas turbine accessory drive gearbox,
takes suction from the lube oil reservoir. The pump discharge is filtered by a duplex, 6
micron (absolute), full-flow filter located on the auxiliary module. Filter elements can be
changed while the turbine is running.
The lube oil supply passes through an anti-siphon check valve and is distributed to the bearing
chambers, where oil is sprayed onto each engine bearing.
Pressure transmitters and temperature RTDs monitor lube oil supply with readout, alarm and
shutdown at the turbine control panel. Chip detectors in the A and B sumps and in the
common scavenge return provide alarms if metal chips are detected in the lube oil. A
differential pressure transmitter senses filter differential pressure and warns the operator of
dirty filter conditions.
7.8.1.2

Turbine Lube Oil Scavenge Description

Oil flows through the turbine bearings and accumulates in the bearing sumps. A 5-element
scavenge pump is connected to a low point drain in each sump. Whenever the engine is
turning the scavenge pump is working to remove oil from the sump drains.
The scavenge pump discharge flows through a 6 micron (absolute) duplex filter, then is
cooled by a shell and tube cooler, (1 running / 1 standby) and then returns the oil to the
reservoir.
A temperature RTD on each scavenge line measures temperature, with readout, alarm and
shutdown at the turbine control panel. A check valve on the pump discharge prevents
siphoning of oil back into the engine during shutdown.
Each bearing sump is vented by the air/oil separator system, consisting of a pre-separator, airto-oil cooler, and a final separator. Recovered oil drains back to the reservoir to reduce
emissions and oil consumption.
A shell and tube cooler (1 running / 1 standby) rejects 600,000 Btu/hr / 633,100 kJ/hr from the
turbine lube oil circuit. A thermostatic valve regulates the amount of hot oil that bypasses the
cooler.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 50 of 156

7.8.2 Generator Lube Oil System


The generator lubrication system provides approximately 46 gpm / 174 lpm of cooled and
filtered mineral oil to the generator bearings. The generator lube oil reservoir, pumps and
duplex filters and coolers are located near the rear of the generator and lube oil filters may be
changed while the unit is operating. Filters have stainless steel plates. Valves are carbon
steel bodies with stainless steel trim.
The generator lube oil system has two lube oil circuits:
Supply System Provides cool, filtered oil to the generator bearings. The supply system
contains the following major components:

MLO reservoir
AC pump
Generator driven mechanical pump
Four-element jacking oil pump
Duplex shell and tube heat exchanger
Duplex filter

Return System - Recovers the lube oil from the bearing drain sumps and returns it to the
reservoir.
These two circuits cool, lubricate and protect the generator.

Simplified Schematic Generator Lube Oil System (Supply Flow)


7.8.2.1

Generator Lube Oil Supply Description

The 60 Hz generator lubrication system provides approximately 174 Lpm/46 gpm of cooled
and filtered oil to the generator bearings
The generator/gearbox lube oil reservoir, pumps and filters are located on a separate lube oil
module. The lube oil filters may be changed while the unit is operating.
The simplex shell & tube coolers serving the generator lube oil system are also located on the
lube oil module. Filters have stainless steel plates. Valves have stainless steel trim.
The stainless steel reservoir includes a sight level gauge, fill connection and drain valve. A
switch provides a low-level alarm at the unit control panel. An immersion heater turns on at
32C falling temperature keeping the oil heated to prevent condensation when the unit is
stopped.
The 60 Hz lube system has three pumps mounted on the reservoir:
o Main Pump 1,250 Lpm/330 gpm with a 37.3 kW AC motor
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 52 of 156

o Stand By Pump 1,250 Lpm/330 gpm, with a 37.3 kW AC motor


o Emergency Pump 550 Lpm/145 gpm with a 12 kW DC motor
o
The reservoir assembly includes:
o Duplex 100% filters
o Duplex shell and tube heat exchangers sized to reject 2,943.8 MJ/hr
o Oil-mist heat exchanger and motor-driven oil demister
Rundown tanks provide additional protection if the AC lube pumps should fail, or if AC
power is lost. A DC pump provides coastdown protection.
The oil flows through the orifice and into the bearings and forms a film that cools and
lubricates the journal. Pressure switches at the bearing supply header provide low pressure
alarm and shutdown signals to the unit control panel.
If the supply pressure drops, a low lube oil pressure switch automatically starts the auxiliary
lube oil pump. An annunciator alarm indicates that the auxiliary pump is running. If the lube
oil pressure falls to a lower level, the turbine generator set shuts down.
The primary and auxiliary lube oil pumps can each supply 100% of the generator lube oil
requirements. Each pump is equipped with a pressure relief valve piped to the reservoir.
Lube oil pressure at the supply header is controlled by a pressure-regulating valve, which
bypasses excessive oil flow to the reservoir. Duplex coolers are provided to reject 198.1
MJ/hr from the generator lube oil circuit. The amount of hot oil that bypasses the cooler is
regulated by a thermostatic valve.
The duplex generator / gearbox lube oil filters (6 micron absolute) are mounted on the lube oil
module. Filters may be replaced during operation by switching the manual transfer valve. A
pressure switch senses high filter differential pressure and provides alarm at 20 psid/138 kPa.

7.8.2.2

Generator Lube Oil Return Description

Each bearing has a gravity drain and sight glass to visually verify oil flow. A dual element
RTD is embedded in each generator bearing to measure the actual metal temperature. These
RTDs are continuously monitored at the unit control panel and provide alarm and trip signals
at 183F/91.6C and 194F/95C, respectively. The gearbox has a turning gear to rotate the
shaft. The gearbox bearing RTDs alarm and trip at 225F/107C and 241F/116C
respectively.
For starting and water wash cycles, we lift the generator rotor off the bearing seats with a film
of high-pressure oil from a small jacking oil pump. The oil film reduces bearing friction
and helps the rotor break away and begin turning.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 54 of 156

7.8.3 Customer Cooling Water Requirements


Customer provides continuous water to the lube oil cooler flange connections. Approximate
cooling water requirements are 190 gpm at 95 F / 719 lpm at 35 C. Maximum water
pressure is 100 psig / 689 kPag. Total heat rejection for turbine and generator is 787,800
Btu/hr / 831,200 kJ/hr.

7.9

Starting System

The LM6000 turbine is started by an electro-hydraulic system, including an electric motor, a


pump, a hydraulic starter motor, and other equipment described below. The starter rotates the
LM6000 high-pressure compressor shaft for purging, cool down, engine starting and water
wash sequences.
The hydraulic start system consists of a hydraulic starting motor / clutch mounted on the
turbine accessory gearbox, the following equipment mounted on the auxiliary module:

200 HP / 150 kW electric starting pump motor


Variable displacement hydraulic pump
40 gal. / 151 l hydraulic reservoir
Air/oil cooler
Low pressure return filter and case drain return filter

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 55 of 156

Simplified Schematic Hydraulic Start System

7.9.1 Hydraulic Start System Flow


The hydraulic circuit is a closed loop design with a 40-gallon / 151 L reservoir. The system
requires an initial fill of approximately 35 gallons / 132 l of ISO VG 46 premium, anti-wear
petroleum-based hydraulic fluid.
During each start cycle a charge-pump portion of the main pump draws fluid from the
reservoir to prime the system and supply control oil. Controls modulate the main pump flow
from zero to approximately 55 gpm / 208 Lpm during the starting cycle. This permits accurate
control of gas generator speed for purging, ignition and acceleration. The starter pump
increases the hydraulic fluid pressure and delivers the pressurized fluid to the hydraulic starter
motor. A portion of the return fluid from the starter motor is routed back to the starter pump.
Before reaching the main hydraulic pump on the auxiliary skid, the oil is filtered through a
low-pressure, return filter.
Low-pressure hydraulic fluid from the starter motor case is routed off the main skid to the
auxiliary skid. On the auxiliary skid, the hydraulic fluid flows through a case drain return
filter and a air to oil heat exchanger before returning to the reservoir.

7.9.2 Starting System Operation


To start the gas turbine, the hydraulic motor must:

Rotate the gas generator to purge the engine


Accelerate the gas generator to ignition speed
Continue acceleration to self-sustaining speed

The starter accelerates the gas generator to 2,300 rpm and cranks for two minutes in typical
simple cycle applications. This forces purging air through the gas turbine and exhaust stack
to remove hydrocarbons that may have accumulated during the prior shutdown.
Air-flow during the purge cycle is approximately 7842 scfm / 12,600 Nm3/h / 10 lbs/sec.
After the purge cycle, the gas generator is slowed to 1700 rpm for light off. Fuel is initiated,
igniters are actuated, and the turbine starts. Then the starter and the combustion accelerate the
gas generator to 4500 rpm where the starter disengages automatically.
The gas generator continues to accelerate until it reaches idle speed. The turbine is now selfsustaining.
Overall start time varies with stack height; also units with heat recovery steam generators will
require a longer purge cycle, typically 15 to 30 minutes.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 56 of 156

However, the typical LM6000 in simple cycle application can reach full power from a cold
start in 10 minutes. See Section 5 for 10-minute start cycle curve.

7.10 Water Wash System


All gas turbines demonstrate lower levels of performance if the airfoils are not in a clean
condition. An integral soak wash system is provided for on/offline cleaning. See Section 14
for compressor cleaning water/detergent specifications. GE Energy LM6000 units include a
unit mounted on-line cleaning system to remove deposits from the compressor airfoils. The
off-line or crank-soak water wash system is for thorough removal of built-up deposits. This
system requires the turbine to be off-line for a short time. The on-line cleaning system is used
to remove deposits while the turbine is running. This system extends the intervals between
crank-soak cleanings and reduces downtime.

Simplified Schematic Water Wash System

7.10.1

Water Wash Equipment

Both on-line and off-line spray nozzles are mounted on the Inlet Air Volute on the main
baseplate. The remaining water wash equipment below is mounted on the auxiliary module:

7.10.2

Cleaning Solution Specifications

Cleaning agents conforming to GE Specification MID-TD-0000-5 are recommended for


washing the gas generator section of the engine. The solvents are mixed within the reservoir
and sprayed into the turbine inlet. Water is then sprayed in the inlet to rinse the turbine.
A water/anti-freeze mixture must be used for dilution and rinsing in ambient temperatures of
50 F / 10 C, or below.

7.10.3

Water Quality Standards

Please see GE Specification MID-TD-0000-4 for water wash criteria.

7.10.4

Interface Requirements

Customer supplies a source of hot water and instrument/compressed air to purge lines at GE
Energy flange connections on auxiliary module. Interconnecting piping and hoses to the
permanently mounted turbine spray manifold is provided.

7.11

Fire Protection System

The LM6000 turbine generator set includes controls and sensors to detect fire, unsafe
temperatures or explosive atmospheres in the equipment enclosure. The system releases CO2
if fire is detected.
The package enclosure is designed to reduce the hazard of fire and explosion. A wall
separates the turbine and generator compartments to provide isolation. Ventilation systems,
with redundant fans, create a positive pressure in the generator compartment and a negative
pressure in the turbine compartment. This maintains separation and forces hydrocarbons
away from the generator. The enclosure is protected by gas detectors, thermal detectors,
optical flame detectors and a CO2 extinguishing system conforming to NFPA 12.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 58 of 156

Fire and Gas Protection System

7.11.1

Gas Detectors

Four hydrocarbon gas detectors and two infrared gas detectors are provided. Two
hydrocarbon gas detectors are located in the turbine compartment. One hydrocarbon gas
detector is located below the turbine. A fourth detector is located in the front of the generator
compartment. Two infrared gas detectors are located in the turbine enclosure near the
ventilation exhaust duct. If the gas detectors in the turbine or generator compartments sense a
gas concentration of 15% LEL, a warning is initiated. If a sensor detects a gas concentration
of 25% lower explosion limit, an emergency shutdown is initiated. If an infrared sensor
senses a gas concentration of 5% LEL, a warning is initiated. If a sensor detects a gas
concentration of 10% LEL, an emergency shutdown is initiated.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 59 of 156

7.11.2

Optical Flame Detectors

There are three IR/Optical flame detectors mounted in the turbine enclosure and three
mounted in the generator enclosure. A flame indication by a turbine enclosure sensor causes
an emergency shutdown and release of CO2.

7.11.3

Thermal Detectors

The turbine enclosure temperature is monitored by two thermal spot detectors, initiating a
shutdown at 450 F / 232.2 C. The generator enclosure temperature is monitored by two
thermal spot detectors, initiating a shutdown at 225 F / 107.2 C.
In addition to alarm and shutdown functions, the thermal spot detectors provide enclosure
temperature signals for the turbine control panel HMI. The spot temperature detectors are bimetallic and respond to both temperature and rate-of-rise. They cause a unit shutdown and
release of the CO2 when tripped.

7.11.4

Manual System Trip

Three manual trip stations are located on the main enclosure; one on each side near the center
of the package, and the third at the exciter end of the generator.

7.11.5

CO2 Extinguishing System

The system components include:

Main CO2 storage cylinders


Reserve CO2 storage cylinders
Valves, piping and wiring

The pressurized CO2 bottles are stored on a rack that includes manifolds, controls, valves and
a weigh scale. The reserve cylinders are an automatic backup, and are released, if the
detectors still indicate a hazard, 90 seconds after release of the main cylinders.
GE Energy provides piping within the main enclosure from the pressure connection to the
nozzles in the turbine and generator compartment. Release of the CO2 is controlled by the fire
system control panel or by a manual valve at the unit.
Signals from the equipment-mounted sensors are monitored by solid-state modules in the
control panel. The panel-mounted unit includes logic, memory and output functions.

7.11.6

Dedicated Power Supply

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 60 of 156

GE Energy furnishes a dedicated 24 VDC battery system with charger, to power the fire and
gas protection and control system. This battery system conforms to NFPA 12 requirements.

7.11.7

Control System

A solid-state monitor mounted in the Turbine Control Panel compares the signal from each
sensor to alarm and shutdown setpoints. Meters provide a read out of each gas detector signal.
Any alarm signal sounds an alarm at the control panel and in the turbine enclosure.
Any shutdown signal from a gas detector, optical detector, thermal detector, or manual station
closes a contact and causes an emergency shutdown of the unit.

7.11.8

Defective Sensor Protection

Each sensor is connected with closed loop circuitry to verify its readiness. Should the sensor
or its wiring become defective, a "fault" condition is indicated on the control panel.

7.11.9

CO2 Release Logic

When a shutdown signal is received the control system turns off the ventilation fans and
sounds an alarm horn at the panel and both inside and outside of the turbine enclosure. After
a time delay, CO2 is released into the generator and turbine compartments.
A CO2 concentration sufficient to extinguish flames is reached in approximately 30 seconds.
If the primary cylinders should fail to discharge within four seconds, the reserve cylinders are
discharged.
If flames are still detected 90 seconds after the primary CO2 cylinders have been discharged,
the reserve cylinders are discharged.

Optional Equipment Descriptions

8.2.1 Synchronous Condenser


The LM6000 generator set, with optional modifications, can operate as a synchronous
condenser when an electrical grid needs VARs to improve the Power Factor (PF).
For this option, GE adds a synchronous clutch, in an enclosure, between the gas turbine and
generator. Modifications are also added to the protective relay system and the voltage
regulator. These additions allow the unit to operate as follows:

The gas turbine is started and brought up to speed

The generator is synchronized to the grid

The operator selects Synchronous Condenser operation with a switch on the Turbine
Control Panel

The gas turbine begins a normal shutdown

As the turbine slows down, the Synchronous Clutch disengages

The generator remains running, and is now operating as a motor, powered by the grid.

The operator can now export or import VARs by raising or lowering the voltage set point
on the Voltage Regulator (within limits designed to protect the equipment).

8.2.2

Totally Enclosed Water-Cooled Generator

GE Energy furnishes a Totally Enclosed Water-to-Air Cooled (TEWAC) generator for


customers who prefer water-cooling. Customer must supply approximately 571 gpm / 2161
lpm of treated water at 85F / 29C, or cooler, at 100 psig / 690 kPa. If water is to be
recycled, customer must supply a cooling loop to reject approximately 2 million BTU/hr /
2110 MJ/hr.

8.2.3

Power System Stabilizer

The GE EX2100 digital power system stabilizer integrates supplementary control signals to
the generators voltage regulator to control power fluctuations and to help improve the
stability of the power system.

8.2.4

Left-Hand Piping Connections

In the standard LM6000 configuration, the customers piping connections are on the right
side, as viewed from the exciter. As an option, the unit can be built with the piping

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

connections on the left side. The turbine removal area is located on the side opposite of the
piping connections.

8.2.5

Left-Hand Cubicles / Right Hand Cubicles

In the standard LM6000 configuration the generator line side cubicle is on the right side as
viewed from the exciter. The neutral cubicle is on the left side. As an option the unit can be
configured with the line side cubicle on the left side and the neutral cubicle on the right side.

8.2.6

Liquid Fuel System

The LM6000 can be equipped to operate using liquid fuel instead of natural gas. Typical
liquid fuels include DF1, DF2, JP4 or kerosene. Customer must supply liquid fuel at 20-50
psig /138-345 kPag and at least 20F / 11C above the wax point temperature (normally
35F / 1.6C). Maximum fuel temperature is 150F / 65C. Customer supplied fuel must be
clean, filtered and meet required fuel specifications. See Section 14.

8.2.7

Dual Fuel System

Complete fuel systems for two different fuels, including piping, valves and controls. Fuels
can be:

Natural gas with liquid fuel


Two gaseous fuels
Two liquid fuels
Manual or automatic transfer to backup fuel requires a reduction in power. However, if full
load fuel transfer is required, an optional cooler is provided to cool the air stream used to
purge the fuel nozzles during transfer. This cooler requires a continuous water flow of 20gpm
/ 76 lpm at 65psi / 448 kPag, 95 F / 35 C max.

8.2.8 Water Injection System


The water injection system contains the following major components. They are mounted on
the water filter skid, water injection pump skid and main skid.

Duplex low pressure filter


Water injection pumps (primary and standby)
Flow transmitter
Flow metering valve

To control the amount of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emitted by the gas turbine engine during
normal operation, demineralized water is injected into the combustor section of the gas
turbine through the water injection manifold. Demineralized water from a customer source is
pressurized by the selected water injection pump and plumbed into the main skid.

8.2.8.1

Water Filter and Water Injection Pump Equipment

Demineralized water supplied to the auxiliary skid must meet GE quality requirements MIDTD-0000-3 See Section 14. Demineralized water flows through the duplex water injection
filter, where water is filtered to 10 microns before being pressurized by the centrifugal water
injection pump. Downstream of the filter, demineralized water flow branches to provide
water to either water injection pump. Two identical water injection pumps are provided in the
system (primary and standby). If there is a pump failure, the operator, after investigating the
cause of the failure to verify the problem is not related to water supply or piping problems,
can then select the standby pump from the human machine interface (HMI) screen. The
standby pump becomes the primary pump and the operator can enable the water injection
system. Necessary pressure and temperature instrumentation allow remote monitoring of the
water injection system on the auxiliary skid.

8.2.8.2

Main Skid

Water flow enters the main skid piping at an operating pressure of 800-950 psig / 5,517
6,550 kPag for gas fuel operation an 1200-1320 psig / 8274-9101 kPag for liquid fuel. An
electrically actuated water injection flow-metering valve modulates de-mineralized water flow
to the engine manifold and to the water return in response to data received and processed by
the control system. Downstream of the metering valve, de-mineralized water flows through a
solenoid shutoff valve which opens when the control system commands the water injection
system active and closes when the GTG set is stopped or the water injection system is
commanded off. A flow transmitter sends a 420 mA proportional signal to the digital
control system providing flow data used to totalize water use and calculate the water-to-fuel
ratio.
While the system is not in operation, any water in the manifold piping drains from the system
through a manifold drain solenoid valve. Pressure in the downstream piping blows any
residual water out of the system. The gas fuel purge flow from the engine manifold assists in
clearing residual water from the system piping.
Necessary pressure and temperature instrumentation allow remote monitoring of the water
injection system on the main skid. All piping is stainless steel, and the valves are trimmed
with stainless steel.

8.2.9

SPRINT Power Boost System

SPRINT Is A Spray Intercooling System That:

Reduces combustion air temperature

150 F / 66 C nominal. Consult GE Energy for details.

8.2.10

Evaporative Cooling

Evaporative cooling lowers inlet temperature to the gas turbine for added power. This option
is recommended when high dry bulb temperatures are common, with low/medium ambient
humidity.
This system is designed for recirculation of evaporative cooling water from a sump in the
bottom of the inlet air filter. This option includes recirculation pump, conductivity probe,
blowdown and make-up valves, piping and wiring. Customer must supply filtered, potable
water to a flanged connection on the filter house and must dispose of waste water from the
blowdown valve. Flow rates will vary based on blowdown.

8.2.11

Inlet Air Chiller Coil

To increase the output of the LM6000 during hot weather, GE Energy installs a chiller coil
upstream of the static filter. A water/glycol mixture is circulated through the coil to lower
inlet air temperature and improve turbine performance. The chiller system includes the
following:

High performance cooling coils

8.2.12

Inlet Air Anti-Ice Coil Exhaust Heat Recovery Unit


(Primary Option)

GE Energy recommends an anti-ice system for safe operating during icing conditions and
provides several anti-ice options. With this option, exhaust heat is utilized to provide anti-ice
heating of the inlet air and can be used with the included anti-ice coils or with chilling coils
provided separately. The three major components of this system are as follows:
Waste Heat Skid
The waste heat skid utilizes gas turbine exhaust gas to fluid heat exchanger. Exhaust gas from
the gas turbine stack is extracted and flows through the plate fin and tube, all stainless steel
heat exchanger. Exhaust gases then flow through a blower which boosts the exhaust gas
pressure and returns the exhaust gas back to the stack. A flow control damper is provided at
the blower discharge to control the air temperature rise across the inlet air going to the gas
turbine. A water- glycol mixture is heated in the gas-to-fluid heat exchanger with a design
duty of 4 mm BTU/hr.
At ambient conditions when the anti-ice system is not required, dampers at the inlet to the
waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) and outlet of the blower are closed. A purge blower is
activated to inject air to prevent overheating the fluid. A temperature alarm set at 200 F / 93
C is also provided to start the fluid pump if the purge blower is inoperative or cannot provide
sufficient purge air to prevent overheating.
Fluid Pump Skid
The heated fluid is pumped through an anti-ice coil located upstream of the static filter to heat
the inlet air 15 F / 8.3 C. The pump skid is designed to circulate 300 gpm / 1136 lpm of
fluid using duplex (2 x 100%) 7.5 kW / 10 hp pumps. The closed system includes a
pressurized expansion tank and the entire anti-ice system contains approximately 350 gallons
of fluid. Under normal conditions no make-up or discharge is required. A low flow switch is
provided to shut down the pump and blower skid if flow disruption is detected and an alarm
on the Turbine Control Panel alerts the operator to this condition. Please consult GE Energy
sales for details.
Anti-Ice Heating Coils

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 67 of 156

Anti-ice coils are provided and installed in the air filter assembly. Coils are piped to a
common manifold with customer connections on each side of the main skid. If chilling coils
are present they will be utilized for both chilling and anti-icing duty.

10. Generator, Exciter and Voltage Regulator

10.1 Generator Design


The generator is a synchronous, two-pole, cylindrical rotor machine. It
has open-air cooling and a brushless excitation system with permanent
magnet generator. The rotor is supported by two (2) split sleeve
bearings lubricated by a pressurized mineral oil system.
The generator has a design life of 30 years. The weatherproof acoustic
enclosure reduces average noise levels to 85 dB(A) at three feet (1.0m)
from unit and five feet (1.5m) above grade.
The generator is conservatively sized, with capacity to spare. The
stator, rotor and exciter have Class F insulation, and the generator can
absorb all of the turbine's output power without exceeding Class B
temperature rises.
The generator can also supply the following overload or fault currents
without measurable loss of life:

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

110% of normal current for 2 hours out of every 24 hours


130% of normal current for one minute
300% of normal current into a 3-phase fault for 10 seconds

Page 86 of 156

10.2 Generator Codes And Standards


The generator is designed to meet codes and standards applicable to
most areas of the world. The primary standards include ANSI C50.14
for 60 Hz. Other ANSI, IEE, IEC and NEMA standards also apply.

10.3 Stator Design


10.3.1

Stator Frame

The stator frame is fabricated from mild steel plate to form a rigid structure. The stator is equipped
with substantial mounting pads with boltholes to secure the generator to the I-beam baseplate.

10.3.2 Stator Core


The core is made of segmental laminations of low-loss, high permeability,
high silicon content electrical steel, carefully deburred and coated with
insulating varnish.
To ensure uniformity, the core is hydraulically pressed at pre-determined
stages during the building operation, and the finished core is clamped
between heavy steel end plates. The core is subjected to a magnetizing
test of the windings to check for the soundness of inter-laminar insulation
and adequate tightness.

10.3.3 Stator Winding


The stator is made of pre-insulated half-coils assembled into a two
layer diamond array. Eddy current losses are minimized by dividing
each conductor into smaller laminations. The laminations are insulated
from each other by a resin-impregnated woven glass braid and are
transposed to minimize circulating currents.

10.3.4 Insulation System


The insulation system is based on a resin-rich mica glass tape that
produces a high performance insulation system capable of continuous
operation at temperatures up to 311F / 155C (Class F).

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 87 of 156

The insulation possesses high dielectric strength, low internal loss and
meets all current specifications. The resin system is thermo-setting, so
that the resulting insulated coil sides are dimensionally stable. This
resin insulation is highly resistant to most common electrical machine
contaminants, such as hydrocarbons, acids, alkalis and tropical molds.

10.3.5 Coil Manufacture


The insulated copper laminations are cut to length, stacked together and
the coil ends are formed into shape on a fixture. The laminations are
then clamped tightly together, taped with an initial layer of tape and hot
pressed to consolidate the conductor stack.
Following this, the main insulation is applied and pressed to size. The
amount of the compression is carefully controlled to ensure correct
resin flow and produce consistent void-free insulation.
Each finished half-coil is subjected to dimensional checks to ensure a
correct fit in the stator slot, and special tapes are added to the inner and
outer coil surfaces to prevent corona discharge.

10.3.6 Coil Winding and Connections


The half-coils are placed in the stator slots in two layers and wedged
securely in position by synthetic resin bonded wedges prior to
connection of the endwinding.
In order to withstand the forces resulting from an accidental short
circuit, the endwinding is securely braced to insulated brackets
mounted on the stator frame.
Spacer blocks are fitted between adjacent coil sides to produce a strong,
resilient, composite structure. Finally, the completed stator is "baked"
in an oven to fully cure the insulation. Resistance Temperature
Detectors (RTD) are embedded in the windings at selected points, and
anti-condensation heaters are fitted into the stator frame.
To ensure electrical performance, the individual coils and the
completed windings are given high-voltage tests.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 88 of 156

10.4 Cylindrical Rotor


The cylindrical rotor is manufactured from an integral forging of
vacuum poured nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. The
resulting forging is thermally stable, uniform in composition, and has
excellent tensile and mechanical properties. As assembly proceeds,
slots are machined in the rotor surface, and insulated coils of highconductivity silver-copper strip are pressed into the slots. Then damper
windings and wedges are added.
Finally, end caps of non-magnetic manganese chromium steel are
shrink-fitted to the ends of the rotor body.
The rotor is then balanced dynamically and tested at 120% of normal
speed for two minutes. Following high speed testing, the rotor is given
a series of high voltage tests to prove the integrity of the insulation
system.

10.5 Bearings
The main bearings are conventional, white metal lined, hydrodynamic
cylindrical bearings, split on the horizontal centerline for ease of
inspection and removal. The two halves are bolted and dowelled
together.
Oil is supplied under pressure to the bearings with flow controlled by
an orifice in the supply line. Drain oil collects in the bottom of the
bearing housing and returns to the generator lube oil reservoir by
gravity flow.
The generator bearings are end frame mounted on specially stiffened
and reinforced stator frames. A detachable solid ribbed steel plate, split
on the bearing horizontal centerline, supports the lower half bearing
housing. Pressurized air from the downstream side of the generator fans
is used to seal the lubricating oil in the bearings. RTDs in the bearing
metal and in the oil drain lines provide bearing temperature sensing.

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 89 of 156

10.6Ventilation Systems
Internal Air Circuit
The generator is cooled by air forced through ducts in the stator and
rotor by two axial fans mounted on the rotor shaft. The cooling air is
supplied to the generator from the inlet air filter.

10.7Brushless Excitation System


The generator is equipped with a low maintenance brushless excitation
system consisting of:

Three phase rotating armature


Three phase rotating rectifier
Rotating permanent magnet generator (PMG)
Exciter field
GE EX2100 automatic digital voltage regulator located in the
turbine control panel
Provisions for a optional Key Phasor

The shaft-mounted PMG powers the voltage regulator and excitation system.

10.8Voltage Regulator
The generator is furnished with a GE EX2100 microprocessor
controlled voltage regulator system. The voltage regulator is rackmounted in the turbine control panel and maintains generator output
voltage within 0.5% under steady state operating conditions.
The voltage regulator utilizes single phase sensing circuitry and
includes:

10.9Generator Accessories
10.9.1

Stator Temperature Detectors


Six duplex temperature detectors (two per phase) are embedded in the
stator windings. The detectors are 100 ohm at 0C platinum type RTDs.

10.9.2

Space Heaters
Space heaters are located inside the generator to prevent condensation
of moisture when the generator is not operating. The space heaters are
suitable for operation on three-phase, 480 VAC power, 60 Hz.
Automatic ON/OFF control for the space heater is provided by the unit
control panel that controls a contactor in the motor control center.

10.9.3

Vibration Detectors
Two vibration detectors are mounted 90 apart at each radial bearing
(Total 4). The proximeters and cables are wired to the Main Generator
Terminal Box (MGTB) in the generator compartment. Monitoring
equipment is provided in the unit control panel.

10.9.4

Ground Fault Monitoring

This control system provides continuous electronic monitoring of the generator rotor winding and its
connections. Indication of a ground fault is shown on the unit control panel.

The turbine control panel (TCP) houses a majority of the control system equipment. From the
TCP, an operator can initiate the turbine-generators electronic control system to perform
automatic startup, fuel management, load assumption, and system operation. Critical
parameters are constantly monitored and alarms or shutdowns are initiated automatically, as
appropriate, for out-of-tolerance conditions.
Automatic fuel control and turbine sequencing are controlled by the logic control system
software and hardware. Also, an operator or anyone on site can initiate, as necessary, a
manual emergency shutdown at any time.

15. Maintenance, Special Tools and Spare Parts

15.1 LM6000 Maintenance Advantages


Down time is costly and in addition to labor and material for repairs, the owner loses profits
while the turbine is down for maintenance. In most instances, the lost profit during down time
exceeds the cost of repairs.
The LM6000s simplified design helps reduce these field costs. The entire LM6000 package
is designed for easy maintenance. Enclosures are large and provide ample working space.
Components are accessible and easily adjusted or repaired, and an internal bridge-crane
speeds engine removal for major repairs.
The result is more up-time and less down-time. The LM6000 fleet of generator sets
operated by GE Energy has an average reliability of 99.5%, exceeding the industry average by
almost a full percentage point. The LM6000s simple package design and easy replacement of
turbine modules contributes to this fine result.

15.2 LM6000 Repairs


To speed repairs, members of GEs engine lease pool can have stock replacement engines
dispatched to the job site for either planned repairs or an unscheduled overhaul.
The owner of an LM6000 package can easily remove the entire turbine engine in the event of
serious failure. A replacement engine can be installed and on-line within 48 hours, and the
customer's operations can return to normal while the engine is being repaired off-site.

15.3 Engine Compartment Design


The GE Energy engine compartment includes a shock isolation mounting system that permits
the LM6000 turbine to ship in the package. This eliminates field reassembly. The turbine
arrives tested, wired and fully piped.
The engine compartment includes built-in lighting, walkways and comfortable working space.
The overhead bridge crane can easily lift and turn the engine for removal through the side
doors.

15.4 On Condition Maintenance


Maintenance on many gas turbines is scheduled on a clock-hour basis. Parts are replaced
after a set number of operating hours. This can lead to unnecessary costs and maintenance.
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 105 of 156

The LM6000 is designed for On-Condition maintenance. Every six months the engine is
given a thorough borescope inspection. Twenty-one borescope ports permit close inspection
of all major internal parts.

15.5 Preventative Maintenance Inspection


This inspection reveals wear and mechanical problems. Maintenance is scheduled only when
inspection shows a specific need, rather than replacing parts on an arbitrary schedule.
GE Energy literature and training stress preventative maintenance and operator awareness.
We teach the customer's operators to perform preventative measures, including:

Condition monitoring of critical parameters

Trend analysis of performance

Visual inspection of auxiliary systems and external wiring

Borescope inspection

Water wash

Filter changes and inspections

Lube oil sampling


In addition, GE Energy teaches operators to perform routine " condition monitoring, "
including:

Gas generator speed

Power turbine speed

Gas generator exhaust gas temperature

Gas generator discharge pressure

Vibration

Oil pressure

Oil temperature

Condition monitoring, in conjunction with borescope inspections, can provide an essential


history of engine condition-versus-operating time. This allows maintenance to be predicted
and scheduled for an appropriate time.

15.6 Maintenance Levels


Downtime for maintenance is reduced by the LM6000's modular design. Routine maintenance
tasks are done on-site, while major engine repairs are performed at specialized off-site
LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 106 of 156

facilities, saving the customer the expense of tooling and equipment. On-site and off-site
maintenance tasks are divided into categories, or levels, described below.

15.7 On-Site Maintenance


15.7.1

Level 1

On-site external maintenance and module replacement includes protective and corrective
tasks such as:

Adjusting or replacing externally accessible components

Engine replacement

15.7.2

Level 2

On-site internal maintenance requiring partial disassembly of the engine and replacement of
components includes:

Compressor blade/vane replacement

Hot section component replacement

HPT blade replacement

Gearbox replacement

15.8 Off-Site Maintenance


15.8.1

Level 3

Off-site internal maintenance. Includes all Level 2 capabilities, plus complete teardown and
rebuilding of engine. Includes replacement of major subassemblies with spare subassemblies.

15.8.2

Level 4

Off-site overhaul. Includes Level 3 capabilities plus complete disassembly of the major
subassemblies of the gas turbine and rebuilding subassemblies with replacement parts. A
permanent shop and a test cell are required for a Level 4 overhaul facility.
GE Energy has full Level 4 maintenance capabilities for customers needs. We feature fullload testing of the repaired engine to ensure maximum field performance.

15.9 Owners Maintenance

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 107 of 156

In most cases, the Owner prefers to have his operators trained to perform Level 1 maintenance
to the gas turbine, and Levels 2-4 maintenance tasks handled by outside contract. However,
GE Energy can train operators for Level 2 maintenance tasks, if desired.

15.10 Special Tools


Special tools are required to perform Level 1 and Level 2 maintenance activities. These tools
are listed on the following pages and are priced separately for customers intending to perform
maintenance themselves.
GE Energy includes a lift fixture for the LM6000 turbine engine in the basic scope of supply.
This fixture and the built-in crane are used during engine removal and replacement.

17. Extended Scope Equipment and Services

Overview
GE Energy has the capability to provide everything from individual pieces of balance of plant
equipment to the complete power plant supplied on a turn-Key basis. GE Energy has a
dedicated team of engineers who specialize in the design, procurement and construction of
power plants and has successfully demonstrated the ability to do so for the following types of
facilities:

Simple Cycle Power Generation


Cogeneration Power Plants
Combined-Cycle Power Plants
Turbine-Compressor Plants
Compression Modules

GE Energy designs power plants with a focus on reliability and availability.

Turn-Key Services
Engineering
GE Energy can provide complete power plant design services, including civil, mechanical and
electrical design. The plants we design are reliable and intended to maximize the owners
profitability and minimize the total installation and construction duration. In order to achieve
this, we utilize pre-engineered designs for plant applications wherever possible. These designs
are proven and are ready for use today, saving engineering costs and project time, allowing
for the lowest installed cost basis. To meet unique project requirements, we work with the
Owner to adapt GE Energys standard plant designs to accommodate their particular needs.
Most of our designs are for shop built modules or systems, reducing the complexities of field
installation. This process saves weeks of time and hundreds of engineering man-hours.

Our field experience simplifies the job by bringing the knowledge and engineering skill gained from
previous power plant projects to each new project.

Most of our simple-cycle engineering is done in-house to provide tight coordination for our
customers. On large projects we call in experienced third-party engineering companies to

LM6000 - 60 Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 129 of 156

work under our supervision. This approach helps us put units on-the-line quickly to meet
owners deadlines.
Procurement
The GE Energy Extended Scope engineering team can provide procurement services for the
entire power plant. We use the experience of the GE Energy organization to help us find the
best balance of plant equipment vendors in the business. We utilize GE components to the
extent possible to minimize cost, ensure highest quality, and maximize standardization
between balance of plant components and the turbine package. We demand quality,
dependability, and experience from each of our vendors while keeping an eye on minimizing
installed costs. Most pieces of major equipment are purchased from vendors who have served
us for years, with hundreds of successful applications.
Construction Services and Start-Up Services
The GE Energy project execution team can provide full construction and start-up services for
the power plant. We place an experienced Construction Manager on each site. The
Construction Manager and specialists from our Houston office select from a group of prequalified construction sub-contractors to provide skilled craftsmen for the job. The
Construction Manager schedules and coordinates the work of the subcontractors. This
individual verifies the quality and completeness of each element of the job, and ensures that
the work progresses properly, with order and safety.
A team of start-up specialists from GE Energy and from major equipment vendors arrives at
the job when construction is nearing completion. These technicians check each plant system
carefully. Then, in parallel with the combustion turbine Technical Advisory team and plant
operations team, they commission the plant.
After thorough operating checks, these specialists prepare the plant for performance testing
and eventual turnover to plant operators.

LM6000 gas turbine engine and replace the Hot Section (HPT Rotor, Stage 1 and 2 Nozzle
Assemblies) at a predetermined fixed price. Two GE field service representatives per shift
will be provided for this work. This procedure can normally be accomplished in 1-3 days, thus
eliminating the need for a lease engine, and sending the engine into the shop for repair. With
the Aero Energy Hot Section Exchange, you get a fully balanced HPT rotor with factory
established blade to shroud clearances to optimize performance. As with all of the Aero
Energy Rotable EMUs, the Hot Section hardware carries a one year warranty. All returned
EMUs are overhauled per GE specifications.

LM6000 - 60Hz Classic 6/2008

Page 148 of 156

The LM6000 Aeroderivative gas turbine is designed so that it is easy to replace major engine
assemblies (also referred to as Engine Maintenance Units or EMUs) quickly to maximize gas
turbine availability. GE Energy has developed a program that takes advantage of this
engineering concept. In many cases, a Rotable EMU can be installed at the customers site
eliminating the need to send the engine to a Service Center. The User benefits by on-site
replacement of the EMU by eliminating the cost of using a lease engine and the second engine
change-out if the damaged engine is sent to a Service Center for repair. GE Energy also has
EMUs that are available to be used to shorten the time an engine is at a Service Center for
repair. This reduces the cost of operating a lease engine (if installed) or can help expedite the
return of the engine back to the site to meet a critical operating period. Removed EMUs
(including Hot Sections) become the property of GE.

19.9 New and Used Engine Sales and Exchanges

19.10 Lease Pool Programs


19.10.1

Overview

The GE Lease Program is designed to help customers minimize or reduce their overall life
cycle costs and offers a low cost way for customers to maintain availability of their gas
turbines. Customers can maximize site availability by leasing equipment from GE when their
own equipment is at a Service Center for repair or when it cannot be repaired on site within a
reasonable amount of time. Lease customers can continue operations to serve their customers
and meet their business objectives. Lease assets are provided under either of two lease
agreement concepts: Member or Non-member.
GE has made the capital investment in these gas turbines and incurs costs for every operating
and non-operating hour. Member and non-member rates and options are structured to reflect
this.

19.10.2

Lease Engine Membership

A member agreement is a contract of six-year duration. It provides a guarantee of availability


if the customer should need a lease gas turbine. The customer pays an annual membership fee
and a weekly usage fee whenever a lease asset is installed at the customer site. Weekly fees
are subject to Special Applications adjustments for liquid fuel operation, STIG, and
SPRINT water injection applications.

19.10.3

Lease Engine Usage by Non-Members

A customer who has not opted for the six-year membership agreement may use a GE lease
asset on a single event basis under the terms of a Non-member agreement. No guarantee of
availability exists for non-member usage. An installation fee and a higher weekly charge
apply to non-members. Non-member lease rates are calculated from the rates in the member
tables. The weekly non-member rate is 3.5 times the weekly member rate, after any Special
Applications adjustments. An installation charge applies to each usage plus actual
transportation costs each way.
Note: New customers who request a lease gas turbine within 45 days of executing a member
lease agreement will be charged at non-member rates for that lease usage event.
