Our solution
As the latest addition to the Siemens
comprehensive gas turbine product line,
the new SGT-8000H series, and the
Siemens Combined Cycle Power Plant
(SCC™), the SCC-8000H series, address
the worldwide demand for more environ-
mentally compatible energy. This new
gas turbine frame, developed after the
merger of the Siemens and Westinghouse
power generation businesses, combines
the best features of the existing product
lines and technology advancements.
A highly qualified international team of
over 250 experienced engineers and over
500 employees worked hand-in-hand in
developing, manufacturing and assembly
of this new gas turbine.
The advanced technology of the fully
air-cooled SGT-8000H series gas turbine
continues our long-standing tradition of
satisfying the needs of our customers all
around the world. We take an evolution-
ary approach when designing our new
turbines by incorporating proven features
and based on the experiences we have
gained with our reliable operating units
over decades. In developing the world’s
largest H-class gas turbine for unmatched
efficiency, we combined the best features
of our proven 50-Hz and 60-Hz Siemens
heavy-duty gas turbine product lines with
new innovative technological develop-
ments. To achieve a result of higher oper-
ational flexibility for both, the gas turbine
and the power plant, the new gas turbine
features less complex but proven technol-
ogy, including the use of air-cooling over
steam-cooling for the H-class. Air-cooling
as a design strategy makes the SGT-8000H
series gas turbines an excellent choice for
repowering as there are no ties to the
steam cycle required.
The SGT5-8000H, a 50-Hz version, has
been built and shipped to be validated at
a gas turbine power plant in Irsching,
Germany, where it will demonstrate its
capabilities under real operating condi-
tions. After successful testing of the gas
turbine, the gas turbine power plant
will be converted into a single-shaft
combined cycle power plant.
For the 60-Hz market, completion of
development of the SGT6-8000H gas
turbine will follow after the 50-Hz engine
verification. The 60-Hz gas turbine pack-
age should also be an excellent choice
for repowering applications due to its
air-cooling, operational flexibility,
efficiency, and low life-cycle cost bene-
fits. Additionally, Siemens plans to devel-
op a 60-Hz combined cycle power plant
in multi-shaft configuration to fulfill the
flexibility requirements in meeting
specific customer needs.

 Market introduction strategy
The SGT-8000H series gas turbine has
been developed in accordance with the
well established Siemens Product Devel-
opment Process (PDP) to create a reliable,
high-quality and competitive product
focusing on market and customer
requirements. The current market intro-
duction of the new gas turbine is also led
by this process, which allows successful
testing and validation before its commer-
cialization.
Testing and validation approach
To maximize the quality of the new prod-
uct, extensive tests are conducted during
all phases of development, production,
assembly and field validation. The indi-
vidual components, subsystems and
engine tests were carried out at Siemens
test centers or at special testing facilities
all around the world.
Since 2005, all key gas turbine compo-
nents have been pre-validated in several
tests before starting with final assembly
of the turbine. The new compressor was
successfully tested in the test bed of our
manufacturing plant in Berlin, Germany.
Combustion tests have been carried out
at several research, customer and
Siemens testing facilities worldwide.
In 2008, the SGT5-8000H is planned to
be tested and validated under real oper-
ating conditions including connection
to the electric power grid at the Irsching 4
power plant in partnership with E.ON
Kraftwerke.

Field validation at Irsching 4 power plant
The Irsching 4 combined cycle power
plant in Germany will be constructed in
two phases:
In phase 1, the SGT5-8000H will be
tested under real operation conditions
in a gas turbine power plant. The
testing will be performed under the
ownership of Siemens. After start-up,
part-load and base-load validation
operation of the plant, a comprehen-
sive endurance testing phase will be
conducted. Including this extended
testing phase, the overall validation
program is planned to cover approxi-
mately 18 months.
In phase 2, the power plant is planned
to be extended to a combined cycle
power plant. The gas turbine will be
modified from a fully instrumented to
a commercial engine and tested in
combined cycle operation. With
Siemens’ determination of the success-
ful completion of this second phase,
plant ownership would be handed over
to the customer, E.ON Kraftwerke.
Highlights of the validation process:
Test plant operation at customer site
Irsching 4 (E.ON) exclusively under
Siemens PG field test management
Extensive field testing and validation
Prototype engine equipped with about
3,000 measuring sensors
Commercial release of the new
SGT5-8000H only after successful
completion of testing and validation
The extensive testing and validation in
simple cycle operation under real grid
conditions is intended to ensure that sub-
sequent commercial product lines will be
introduced to the market with an ade-
quate testing profile and commercial
release will occur only after successful
completion of respective trials. We be-
lieve that this advanced approach maxi-
mizes the reliability and quality of the
products that we ultimately bring to
market and also can reduce the potential
risk for our customers.
