An Industry Overview
Growth in Power Demand
Natural Gas Leading in Capacity and Generation Growth
Power demand is growing globally, and access to reliable,

affordable electricity is a critical enabler for economic growth
and quality of life. Drivers for this include annual population
growth of 1.3%, global annual GDP growth of 3.0%, and a partial
offsetting effect of increasing demand-side energy efficiencies
that could reduce energy demand by as much as 4,000 TWh/y
by 2023. Net of these efficiency savings, global electrical energy
demand is forecasted to grow by 3.0% CAGR over the decade
from 23,000 to 31,000 TWh/y.
For the first time in history, more gas-fired power generation capacity is forecasted to be added
over the next decade than from any other fuel source, including coal. One quarter of all capacity
additions forecasted over the decade will be gas generation. And by 2023, one quarter of the
electrical energy produced will come from natural gas, a 50 percent increase, and the largest
increase of any power generation fuel source compared with 2013.
Todays electricity generation is provided through a global

installed base of 5,800 GW of power generation capacity. Due
to environmental and regulatory changes as well as aging and
changing economics of existing assets, 500 GW are expected
to retire over the next decade. New power plants totaling 2,800
GW are forecasted to be added to power grids, growing at 4.3%
CAGR globally over the decade, bringing the installed capacity
to 8,100 GW by 2023.

POWER PLANT EXCELLENCE

Peak-Performing Products for Optimal Power Plant Systems
GEs power generation customers power the world.
Whether its generating electricity for consumers or
powering industrial growth, the value they deliver
comes from building and operating the most cost
effective and reliable power plants. And that is GEs
mission when it comes to power generationto
offer peak-performing products and to create the
best performing power plant systems in the world.
GEs gas turbine power plants draw upon a legacy
of more than 60 years of experience. Over that
time, heavy duty gas turbines have evolved from
relatively small, simple peaking machines to much
larger engines used in both simple and combined
cycle applications. As gas turbine output, firing
temperature, and efficiency have increased, so too
have the size, efficiency, and versatility of the power
plant system. GE continues to develop materials,
cooling, aerodynamics, combustion, and controls
technologies to advance the very products that
serve as the foundation of these applications.
GEs comprehensive and integrated plant
approach includes a customized power system
with gas turbines, steam turbines, generators,
controls, HRSGs and accessory systems. This
enables GE to meet a diverse range of customer
operational needs and applicationsfrom
industrial and utility scale power, to combined
heat and power (CHP), district heating (DH),
integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC),
While every power plant is unique, there are three categories of plant configuration:
and integrated water and power production

(IWPP). So, whether the need is for a large
baseload, high efficiency plant with fast starting
and ramping, or an industrial cogeneration plant
that uses nonstandard fuels, GE can create a
solution to fit your needs.
Power plant configurations are specific to each
customers needs and economic criteria, as well
as operating and installation limitations. The right
power plant balances the following considerations:
Requirements and constraints capture the plant
mission and goals, the interface of the plant to
infrastructure, and location-based constraints. They
are broken down into six major categories: operations,
site, fuel, grid, environmental, and schedule.

TOPPING CYCLE
GEs simple and combined cycle power plants are flexible

in their operation and include features such as fast starting
and load ramping, low turndown, and high full- and part-load
efficiencies. This flexibility delivers improved plant
economics, including:
ELECTRICAL
CONVERSION
Reduced capital costs.

Reduced operation and maintenance costs.
BOTTOMING CYCLE
HEAT REJECTION
Shorter installation times to reduce installation costs and

produce revenue faster.
Improved reliability and availability.
Plant Offerings
In addition to typical power plant features, the following
are options customers commonly choose. GEs application
engineering teams can configure these and other options to
accommodate most any requirement:
P
ower augmentation through supplemental firing in the HRSG.
Power augmentation through air inlet cooling.
As an example, the auxiliary systems for GEs HA plants are

largely pre-configured modules that are factory tested, fully
assembled, drop-in enclosures that lower field connections,
piping, and valves. This translates to a simpler installation
that reduces field schedule and installation quality risks
while improving overall installation timesup to 25% quicker
compared to lesser F-class plants.
Single or multi-pressure steam cycles, both reheat

and non-reheat.
GEs integrated systems approach includes analysis and

development of not only the power generation equipment
components but also the balance of plant systems.
Performance and cost are measured at both the component
and plant level to increase customer value. GE accomplishes
this by segmenting the plant into five major systems. At the
heart of each system is GEs power generation offerings:
gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, and controls. Each
system, and GEs associated power generation offerings, will
be discussed in the subsequent sections of this catalog.
Axial, downward, or side steam exhaust.
Topping cycle The gas turbine and its dedicated systems.
Nonstandard fuel capability, including heavy fuel oil.

Indoor, outdoor, or semi-outdoor installation.
Phased combined cycle power plant construction, with or
without a bypass exhaust stack.
Customized installation scope (from equipment, to
engineered equipment package, to turnkey).
Bottoming cycle The steam turbine, HRSG, condensate,

feed water and associated systems.
Heat rejection The systems that reject heat to the
environment.
Electrical The systems that produce and export power
to the grid or supply power to plant equipment.
Plant integration The systems that support the main
plant equipment in converting fuel to electrical power.

POWER GENERATION PRODUCTS CATALOG I Topping Cycle Offerings
TOPPING CYCLE
OFFERINGS
Overview of Scope and Considerations
Comprised of the gas turbine and supporting

accessory systems, the topping cycle is the most
significant and technologically challenging step
in the conversion of fuel to electrical power.
The topping cycle contributes to more than two
thirds of a power plants total output and defines
combined cycle efficiency entitlement based on
operating temperature capability.
GE maintains a plant-level view while focusing
on the key considerations for topping cycle
development: performance, emissions, reliability,
and cost. Each of GEs topping cycle configurations
strike a balance between pressure ratio, firing
temperature, and airflow to achieve optimum
plant performance at world-class emissions levels.
Most importantly, GE recognizes that these
factors, much like plant requirements and
operating circumstances, vary greatly from
customer to customer. As such, GE engages the
customer early on in the development process
to gain an intimate understanding of needs
and wants. This ensures that the topping cycle
delivered will provide value to the customer, no
matter what the application.

With a partnership that spans over four decades and 40 Saudi Electricity Company (SEC)
power plants, GE assists in the generation of over half of Saudi Arabias power supply. The
company has more than 500 gas turbines installed in the Kingdom, and that number will
grow when SECs Riyadh Power Plant 12 (PP12) enters commercial operation in early 2015.
PP12 utilizes 8 GE 7F.05 gas turbines and is the first installation of the new product in the region; it will add nearly 2,000 megawatts
of power, helping SEC meet future electricity demands. The 7F.05 gas turbines provide SEC with significant fuel savings and lower
emissions, along with the operating flexibility needed to respond to a wide range of generation conditions, from base load to cyclic

In the western portion of PJM, an Independent System Operator in the United States, regional supplies
of ethane are plentiful. Yet, until now, no one has used ethane as a reliable, lower-cost fuel source for
generating electricity. Thats about to change. The proposed 565 MW Moundsville Power combined cycle
plant in West Virginia will be the first to utilize locally generated unconventional gas from new shale wells
with high contents of ethane. The empowering technology is GEs 7F.04 gas turbine. Using GEs DLN 2.6+ combustion system,
the turbine can operate on gas fuel with up to 25% ethane content. The use of ethane-blended fuel at Moundsville Power could
herald a new series of plants utilizing GEs 7F.04 gas turbines and unconventional, blended fuels, said Andrew Dorn Jr., a Managing
Member of Moundsville Power. By allowing us to use lower-cost ethane-blended fuel, the turbine design and performance are
crucial to the plants financial and operational success.

the resulting lean mixture will burn with a lower flame

temperature and the reaction will generate significantly less
NOx. This is known as lean combustion.
Installed on more than 870 B- and E-class gas turbines globally.
The formation of NOx compounds is dependent on the

temperature of the reaction in the combustor. If fuel and air
are allowed to mix in a stoichiometric proportion (a balanced
chemical reaction), they will burn in a diffusion flame,
similar to the flame of a candle, near the highest possible
temperature of the reaction. A consequence of burning fuel at
a high flame temperature is the production of a large amount
of NOx. However, if extra air is introduced into the reaction,
In addition to developing combustion technologies that

reduce emissions, GEs advanced gas turbine combustion
systems mitigate the potential risk of combustion dynamics

GEs bottoming cycles convert gas turbine

exhaust energy to electrical power and heat
energy (in CHP application) in the most cost
conscious and economical ways. Understanding
that the bottoming cycle represents about 70% of
the plant cost however only provides about 33%
of the plant power output, GEs configurations
consider a multitude of operating conditions to
provide the highest customer value in terms of
performance and cost.
Major bottoming cycle system components include
the HRSG and steam turbine. These components
can be arranged in an array of configurations to
provide a system that balances fuel cost, duty cycle,
and other economic and operability requirements.
System configurations include single pressure,
multiple pressure, reheat and non-reheat cycles,
as well as single and multiple shaft arrangements
with the gas turbine.
GEs bottoming cycles typically utilize unfired, drum
type HRSGs that feature modular construction
with a finned-tube heat transfer surface and
natural circulation evaporators. Options for power
augmentation with supplemental firing, post gas
turbine emissions reduction, and simple cycle bypass
operation are also available within the HRSG.

Each gas turbine exhausts to a dedicated HRSG

that meets specific combined cycle system
operating requirements that are defined by
GEs rigorous specification.
GEs broad product line of steam turbines
complements the gas turbine offerings and
provides flexibility to deliver world-class
performance and value for almost every
bottoming cycle. This is accomplished through
use of pre-engineered long-lead modules that
fit a large application space of customized steam

HRSG CONSIDERATIONS
The HRSG is a critical component in the bottoming cycle of a combined cycle power plant,
providing the thermodynamic link between GEs gas turbines and steam turbines.
GEs combined cycle power plants utilize HRSGs with small diameter, high fin density heat
transfer sections matched to the fuels and emissions equipment requirements. HRSGs
operating in the sub-critical pressure range utilize a drum-type, natural circulation evaporator
with a long established pedigree for reliable operation. For those configurations operating
in the super-critical pressure range, GE will utilize either forced circulation or once-through
steam generator sections. Regardless of the HRSG configuration, the proper engineering is
required to assure desired operating flexibility and capability.
Since the HRSG is configured based on bottoming cycle application, there are numerous
options that can be incorporated to meet project specific requirements such as
supplementary firing, SCR for NOx abatement, CO catalyst for emissions reduction,
and exhaust gas bypass systems for applications that require simple cycle gas turbine
operation in a combined cycle installation.

HEAT REJECTION SYSTEM

CONSIDERATIONS
Overview and Comparison
The heat rejection system is a major consideration

for the engineering of the bottoming cycle and
has a significant impact on overall plant efficiency.
The site characteristics determine what type of
condenser and heat rejection system is employed.
Condensers are heat exchangers that operate at
sub-atmospheric pressures (vacuum) to condense
steam turbine exhaust back into feedwater for
the HRSG. A colder cooling fluid creates a better

vacuum allowing more steam expansion through
the turbine which delivers increased power
output. Condensers can be water or air cooled.
Water cooled condensers are further divided
into those served directly with once through sea,
river, or lake water and those cooled with water in
mechanical or natural draft cooling towers.

ELECTRICAL CONVERSION
OFFERINGS
GEs combined cycle power plant approach ensures

that plant systems and major equipment selections
are customized for a cost effective application.
In the case of the electrical conversion system,
this includes generators, electrical performance,
output, cooling medium, mechanical configuration,
installation, and maintenance.
The GE generator product line is divided into
three classifications based on the cooling
method: water, hydrogen, and air. Air cooling is
the least complex method of cooling for lower
output ratings and has the added benefit of
ease of maintenance. The hydrogen cooled
generator is completely sealed for operation with
hydrogen gas as the cooling medium. The water
cooled generator combines the architecture of
a hydrogen cooled unit with direct armature
winding cooling via deionized water passed
through the stator bars. This enhances power
density, which provides higher output and
industry-leading efficiency in a smaller package.
Most GE generators can be configured for multi-shaft
or single-shaft operation with line side terminals
exiting the machine in either top or bottom
arrangements, depending on what best suits
plant configuration and layout. All combined cycle
generators applied to gas turbine prime movers
have provisions to accommodate static start
features to achieve plant startup rates.

CONTENTS
When considering generator performance it

is important to look at how reactances handle
system transients and protect plant equipment.
To do this, accessories are configured to meet
plant performance while reducing the size of these
components. Regional considerations, including
fuel costs, local environmental conditions or lack
of hydrogen availability, will drive generator cooling
medium decisions. Interconnect agreements and
grid characteristics and the connection point must
also be considered. Plant configurations such as
steam turbine exhaust direction will establish
power train centerline heights and decisions on
the most appropriate configuration. All of the
combined cycle integration decisions also take into
account ease of installation and maintainability of
the equipment to provide a healthy return to the
customer throughout the plants entire life cycle.

PLANT INTEGRATION
Application Capability and Modeling
As a manufacturer of gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators, GE brings unique insight into
system integration through domain expertise and knowledge of how to best take advantage of
application flexibility in major power generation equipment.
In addition to performing equipment application and system optimization for traditional power
generation only projects, GE also has a wealth of experience with process integrated power plant
equipment and systems such as gas turbine mechanical drive applications and a variety of
CHP/cogeneration applications.
Quantitative analysis using steady-state mass and heat balance models provides the basis for
determining power plant system output and heat rate. GE uses a combination of in-house and
customized third party software, modified with proprietary GE methods that are based on decades
of combined cycle experience and performance testing data. For situations involving challenging
transient behavior, GE can perform dynamic simulation studies as part of an extended scope plant
project. These studies aid in defining complex controls and automated sequences while reducing
the time spent on debugging during plant commissioning. The result is combined cycle systems with
bankable performance, and system and equipment configurations that best meet customer needs by
incorporating component sizing and characterization appropriate for expected operating conditions.
GE offers customers pre-order support, including plant emissions estimates for permitting purposes.
Startup curves with key plant and unit parameters are available for combined cycle plants in various

GE CONTROLS AND
SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
Overview of Control System Architecture
1 Turbine Control Panel
Modern power plants provide far more data and create far more actionable information, making
them much more efficient than in the past. Advanced sensors and smarter instrumentation provide
additional opportunities to utilize big data in the form of informational and actionable analytics.
Leveraging and driving these trends, GE has grown its portfolio of controls, software, and analytics
offerings to meet the needs of the digital power plants of the future.
GE provides turbine control panels for all gas turbines and steam turbines as part of the standard offering. The brains of the
turbine control are the CPU modules, while the turbine control connects to the rest of the plant instrumentation through its I/O
interface modules. The Mark VIe Control System includes modular components with an Ethernet backbone, which allows for a
long life cycle; technology is infused into the platform as needed.
Turbine control panels are customized to meet the specific needs of each application, particularly controller redundancy and
I/O type. GE has developed an intelligent dual control architecture to replace triple modular redundant (TMR) on specific
gas turbine frame sizes and, where applicable, on associated steam turbines. The philosophy of intelligent dual is to use dual
CPUs and dual I/O networks, and to let sensor and device redundancy be determined by application needs. For protection and
safety systems, sensor redundancy remains triplicated to enhance tripping reliability. For many other instruments in the power
plant, sensor redundancy can be reduced with the inclusion of a surrogate model and soft fault detection in software without
impacting reliability. Some of the benefits of an intelligent dual system are lower installed cost, lower maintenance cost (less
equipment to calibrate and maintain), improved running reliability, lower failure rate, I/O density reduction in the control
panels, and overall simplification of firmware related to controlling dual platforms.
GE has been making control systems for more than 100 years and has been providing integrated
plant controls for a broad range of applications since 2001. The industry continues to demand higher
plant-level performance and operator efficiency. To support these needs, the modular architecture of
the Mark VIe Control System allows for mission-specific turbine control within the same environment
as an open plant control. The single platform enables comprehensive, integrated automation for
improved performance and reliability.
As illustrated below, there are various elements throughout the power plant that make up the control
system infrastructure. These elements work together to create the central nervous system of the

POWER GENERATION DEVELOPMENT

AND VALIDATION FACILITIES
Being a technology leader and innovator in the power generation industry requires a relentless drive
to expand engineering capabilities and domain expertise. In order to bring new technological advances
to the industry and have them reliably deliver value to customers, GE relies upon its rigorous and
methodical validation philosophy, a process at the heart of GEs engineering practices.
The physical evidence of this commitment, one GE takes pride in sharing with its customers, is the
broad suite of development and validation facilities utilized by GEs Power Generation technology
teams. These laboratories and test stands serve all of the major products and enable validation of new
technology throughout the product life cycleeverything from characterization of new materials and
manufacturing methods to the validation of a complete gas turbine system. They even consider new
tooling and processes for the most efficient servicing of products in the field.
As a result of its investment in these capabilities, GE is accelerating the pace at which new technology
and products are being introduced into an increasingly demanding industry, and doing so with proven,
validated products to give customers confidence in making GE their power generation solution provider.
Gas Turbines
The worlds largest and most powerful variable speed,
variable load, non-grid connected gas turbine test facility
Located in Greenville, South Carolina, U.S.A., this $200 million
facility includes variable speed, variable load, off-grid testing to
fully validate GEs gas turbines at and above full load conditions.
Capable of replicating a real-world grid environment at full
capacity, the facility tests 50 and 60 Hz gas turbines well beyond
normal power plant conditions seen in the field. The test facility
includes control room, data center, and nerve center areas,
all connected by an advanced communication system that
facilitates thorough data collection during each test. The Mark
VIe Control System operates the gas turbine throughout testing
to validate and refine the control logic and advanced models.
Equally important as the system level results, the validation
facility data collection system enables the recording of a
tremendous amount of part-specific temperature information
on casing structures, rotor, and hot gas path components
throughout the transient and steady state loaded conditions.
This provides GE with an unrivaled understanding of actual
component temperatures, which is crucial in confirming
the thermal strain on the parts for accurate component
life analyses.
This level of testing prepares these turbines for nearly any
condition they may experience once installed and operating, and
provides GE with invaluable knowledge of turbine performance
under the most demanding conditions. New gas turbine models
are then proven in their operability, performance, and durability
prior to entering commercial service.

Steam Turbine OpFlex Technology Descriptions
OpFlex Startup Agility Solutions
OpFlex Steam Turbine Agility Startup Solutions
E-Class Fast Start
Employs a 10 minute start to base load. shortened purge, Fire-on-the-fly, faster acceleration and loading, lower
maintenance factors (includes AutoRecover on DLN units).
F-Class Fast Start/Purge Credit
Fast-start: employs a purge credit system which moves the startup purge to the prior shutdown, plus faster acceleration
and loading rates to achieve near baseload output in 10 minutes. This enables participation in Non-Spinning Reserve
Ancillary Services markets.
Variable Load Path
Innovative model-based control approach utilizing AutoTune MX provides independent adjustment of gas turbine load and
exhaust temperature. Enables real time, customized gas turbine operation to better meet plant start-up and operational
objectives, while adhering to plant equipment boundaries.
OpFlex Combustion Versatility Solutions
Enhanced Automatic Turbine Startup

with Rotor Stress Control
An Enhanced Automatic Turbine Startup (ATS) routine provides a fully automated steam turbine startup from ready
to start conditions, bringing the machine from turning gear operation to Inlet Pressure Control (IPC) with a push of a
single button. Temperature references are generated within the steam turbine unit controller and integrated with the
temperature matching function of the gas turbine unit controller to provide a fully automated temperature ramping
solution.
Modified Reverse Flow
For opposed flow HP-IP steam turbines, Modified Reverse Flow improves the ability to avoid radial-rub-induced vibration
caused by asymmetric heating of the shell during colder starts.
Improved Acceleration Control
For large steam turbines in 2x1 and 3x1 combined cycle configuration, an improved ST acceleration algorithm provides
better accommodation for low steam production starts when operating with one gas turbine.
Inlet Pressure Control Setpoint Tracking
Inlet Pressure Control (IPC) Setpoint Tracking automatically adjusts the IPC setpoint to provide the correct setting as the
plant is maneuvered to meet dispatch demand, while retaining its responsiveness to pressure disturbances. The main
control valve(s) are open as far as possible to avoid unnecessary throttling, and be in a better position to respond to a
GT/HRSG trip, thereby avoiding a cascading trip of a second HRSG. Eliminating unnecessary throttling benefits the plant
through improved long-term valve reliability and greater output.
Grid: Enhanced Transient Stability
Employs multiple technologies on a Model-Based Control (MBC) software platform to improve robustness to grid
frequency transients and meet future grid code requirements to ensure a stable power grid. Modern sensor fault
detection, isolation, and accommodation (FDIA) schemes enable continued operation in conditions where traditional
control would have results in a trip, thus improving overall availability and reliability.
Tuning: AutoTune LT
Provides advanced automated DLN tuning capability through continuous fuel split schedule biasing as ambient conditions
change and as turbine hardware and performance degrades over time, reducing the need for tuning at any time for
Plant Control Software Technology Descriptions
Tuning: AutoTune DX
Provides GEs most robust automated DLN combustor tuning solution by combining MBC technology and detailed,
field validated combustion models with combustion dynamics feedback. Combustor health is monitored and tuned
continuously, enabling increased gas fuel composition flexibility, avoidance of seasonal tuning for emissions compliance,
and expanded capability to handle, large rapid transients.
Advanced Attemperator Control
Model-based control principles enable feed-forward control loops to proactively adjust HRSG attemperator flows during
GT startup and load changes, enabling more accurate regulation of steam temperature during all modes of operation, thus
reducing instability and the risk of a plant trip. This enables shorter start times, avoids runbacks, reduces HRSG wear and
tear and allows reliable operation at higher steam temperatures to improve plant heat rate and output.
Tuning: AutoTune MX
Builds on AutoTune DX to extend automated DLN combustor tuning to all combustion modes and across the entire gas
turbine load range down to FSNL. Further enhances gas fuel flexibility and enables customization of gas turbine exhaust
conditions at any load to provide unprecedented operational flexibility.
Advanced SCR Ammonia Control
Advanced SCR Ammonia Control utilizes model based control with SCR inlet NOx and ammonia injection and catalyst
system models in conjunction with exhaust stack measurement and control, ensuring minimal ammonia slip, thus
reducing NOx emissions during startup and normal operation.
HRSG OpFlex Startup Solutions
OpFlex Load Flexibility Solutions
Plant Operability Solutions
Output: Variable Airflow
Utilizes advanced combustor fuel scheduling to enable flexible operation at higher maximum IGV settings to provide
increased output while maintaining emissions compliance, or at lower settings to provide improved combined-cycle
efficiency.
Output: Variable Peak Fire
Provides the capability to variably overfire the GT for increased output when economic conditions justify the increased
maintenance cost and increased emissions. This option includes functionality to increase output as much as possible
while automatically maintaining emissions compliance.
Output: Cold Day Performance
Takes advantage of OpFlex AutoTune DX to improve DLN combustor operability in cold weather, thus allowing higher firing
temperatures and significantly higher output in cold conditions while maintaining emissions compliance.
Responsiveness: Fast Ramp
Enables load ramping at up to 2.5 times the normal rate, such that the full minimum-load-to-baseload range can be
covered in less than four minutes, enabling increased participation in regulating reserve markets.
Responsiveness: Grid Services Package
Provides multiple custom software packages to ensure compliance with country-specific grid codes worldwide and enable
greater participation in ancillary services markets.
Turndown: Extended Turndown
Extends low emissions operation to lower load levels, enabling reduced fuel consumption at minimum loads and
improving the economics to remain online during off-peak demand periods and avoid shutdown and startup costs. This
also extends the available load range for operation, improving dispatch flexibility and enabling greater participation in
regulating reserve markets.
Efficiency: Variable Inlet Bleed Heat
Replaces conservative anti-icing protection logic with a model-based control approach to reduce inefficient Inlet Bleed
Heat use, particularly in warm weather, to provide significant improvements in part load efficiency.
Rapid Response
Rapid Response combined cycle system engineering is a GE plant solution delivering enhanced operating flexibility while
maintaining state of the art steady state performance. Rapid Response breaks the links that cause the steam cycle to
restrict gas turbine startup in a conventional combined cycle plant. The gas turbine in a Rapid Response combined cycle
plant starts and loads rapidly to a low emissions state like a simple cycle turbine. The steam turbine and bottoming cycle
then follows to provide combined cycle output and efficiency in as little as 30 minutes.
Rapid Response combined cycle system engineering is an extended scope product, available when GE provides the
gas turbine(s), steam turbine(s), generator(s), heat recovery steam generator(s) (HRSG) with continuous emissions
measurement (CEMS), plant control system (DCS), and key enabling balance of plant (BOP) equipment. GE also provides
overall System Integration.
Plant One Button Start
GE one button plant auto start capability is available as part of an extended scope project. Control software sequencing
of all required plant components, including GT, ST, Generator, HRSG and BOP is included. Necessary plant components
like shutoff valves are equipped with remote actuators to respond to sequencing software commands. Utilizing group
control, the plant places itself into a ready to start condition from a normal shutdown condition in preparation for auto
start. Although termed one button, the operator can elect to include breakpoints at key steps in the plant startup like
generator synchronization. The auto start completes with the plant at a selected output, available for external (e.g. load
following) control.
OpFlex System Reliability Solutions

Fuels: HFO Availability Package
Utilizes a rapid cooldown, automated turbine wash cycle, and MBC to improve availability of turbines burning heavy fuel
oil (HFO), which are subject to rapid performance degradation.
Enables B/E-class DLN1 combustors to quickly and automatically return to low emissions premix operation following
external transients which can cause the combustor to enter high emissions, high maintenance factor operation.
