Its ability to operate in island mode, coupled with multiple decades of proven rugged performance, make the 6B an excellent solution for remote installations and extreme operating conditions. The rugged, reliable 6B heavy-duty gas turbine is a popular choice for refineries, natural gas liquefaction power, CHP applications, and industrial power.

In 2015, GE signed an agreement with Harbin Electric International (HEI), which provides engineering, procurement, and construction services for Bhikki Combined-Cycle Power Plant and to provided it with two high-efficiency 9HA.01 gas turbines and associated equipment.

The Guangdong Huizhou combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plant entered commercial operation with two GE Vernova hydrogen-ready 9HA.01 combined-cycle units. Within the next two years, both gas turbines are expected to burn up to 10% by volume of hydrogen blended with natural gas.

Among other things, test engineers have run the 50Hz turbine at more than 100 percent of its rated speed. Identifying limits and engineering solutions to go beyond those limits is part of the objective, Atwell said.

In a 11 combined-cycle configuration, the 9HA.01 offers up to 592 MW of output, has a ramp rate of 60 MW per minute, can reach full capacity in less than 30 minutes, and delivers 61.4 percent net fuel efficiency.

The 9HA.01 is rated at 397 MW and the 9HA.02 is rated at 510 MW in a simple-cycle configuration, with each offering more than 41 percent efficiency. In a 11 combined-cycle configuration, the 9HA.01 is rated at 592 MW and the 9HA.02 is rated at 755 MW, with each offering more than 61 percent efficiency. The 7HA.01 is rated 275 MW and the 7HA.02 is rated 337 MW in a simple-cycle configuration, with each offering more than 41 percent efficiency. In a 11 combined-cycle configuration, the 7HA.01 is rated 405 MW and the 7HA.02 is rated 486 MW, with each offering more than 61 percent efficiency.

Together, the 9HA and 7HA turbines can cover a wide power range of 275 MW to 510 MW in simple-cycle configuration. The question is will the 9HA and 7HA displace the F-class and E-class turbines? Not quite, said Atwell.

First fire" and full speed, no load operation are important milestones in the overall installation and commissioning of the combined cycle power plant, GE notes, indicating that the facility is nearing completion.

As of end 2015, GE says its had received orders for 25 HA gas turbines. Including these orders, GE says the HA has been what it calls "technically selected" for projects in 12 countries, including Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the United States, France, Russia, Germany, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and Argentina, amounting to a total backlog, ordered and planned, of some 78 units.

General Electric (NYSE: GE) has announced it will be releasing the 7HA and 9HA air-cooled gas turbines, according to a report from Diesel & Gas Turbine Worldwide. The H-class gas turbine will be released in two versions for the 50 Hz market, the 9HA.01 and 9HA.02, and two versions for the 60 Hz market, the 7HA.01 and 7HA.02.

According to the article, the 9HA.01 is rated 397 MW and the 9HA.02 is rated 470 MW in a simple-cycle configuration, with each offering more than 41 percent efficiency. In a 11 combined-cycle configuration, the 9HA.01 is rated 592 MW and the 9HA.02 is rated 701 MW, with each offering more than 61 percent efficiency.

The report stated the 7HA.01 is rated 275 MW and the 7HA.02 is rated 330 MW in a simple-cycle configuration, with each offering more than 41 percent efficiency. In a 11 combined-cycle configuration, the 7HA.01 is rated 405 MW and the 7HA.02 is rated 486 MW, with each offering more than 61 percent efficiency.

GE told Diesel & Gas Turbine Worldwide the H-class gas turbine incorporates an aerodynamic 14-stage compressor and includes an advanced radial diffuser which, combined with the Dry Low NOx 2.6+Axial Fuel Staged combustion system, allows improved operation of the combustion liner and transition piece cooling.

Summit Meghnaghat II Power Co. announced that it has placed the GE 9HA.01 gas turbine on the foundation of the plant near Dhaka. The company says the plant, expected to be commissioned next year, is the single largest private sector power project investment in Bangladesh.

The planned 583-MW combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) Meghnaghat power plant is expected to supply electricity for up to 700,000 homes. More than 1,100 workers have been part of the Meghnaghat II site that is under different stages of construction works.

Under the turnkey EPC contract the equipment to be provided by GE for this power project include: one 9HA.01 gas turbine, one three-pressure level with reheater (RH) drum type Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), one steam turbine, one gas turbine generator, one steam turbine generator, one condenser and associated systems, along with balance of plant (BOP) solutions. Additionally, GE will be providing maintenance and repair services for the gas turbine and generator over a period of 22 years.

The GE 9HA.01 gas turbine is an air-cooled model with an estimated 64 percent combined cycle efficiency rating, according to the company. Eventually it could be capable of generating with a 50-percent mix of hydrogen.

Discoveries of offshore natural gas in the Mediterranean Sea over the last two decades has led Israel Electric Company (IEC), the largest generator and supplier of electricity in Israel, to base much of its future power generation on gas fired plants. With the support and encouragement of the government and the Ministry of Energy, electric power plants and large industrial facilities are gradually converting to natural gas.

While keeping the four old steam coal fired plants in Hadera as backup, the other units at Hedera Ashkelon will be converted to gas. In the industrial sector, the target is to achieve around 95% use of natural gas for the production of energy and steam by 2030.

He says, however, that the most important driver is the electricity marketplace reform in Israel. In 2012 Israel passed a law to open the electricity sector to new competition and break up the monopoly held by IEC

While IEC remains in charge of the grid, managing supply and demand, it will no longer be the sole power producer in the country. The goal is for the private sector to be responsible for 70 percent of electricity generation. The move will see IEC sell 19 production units at five sites over five years and form a subsidiary to manage two yet-to-be-built power stations that will run on natural gas.

In order to cover growth in demand and population growth, installed capacity will have to increase from about 17 GW to 24 GW in 2025. This means nearly 7 GW has to be built in five years. At the same time, coal and diesel plants have to be replaced with gas by around 2023/24. This presents GE with a big opportunity.

The new plant is being built at a site just north of the Hadera coal fired facility. Once it starts-up, the coal fired plant will be switched off and checked each month to ensure it can be re-started in a matter of hours.

The combustor is the Dry-Low-NOx (DLN) 2.6e that leverages the best features of DLN2.6+ combustor with over 3 million fired hours and over 10 years of experience combined with evolutionary enhancements for advanced premixing, GE DLN 2.6e combustion systems enables the 9HA gas turbines to reduce NOx emissions while enabling high plant efficiency and robust manoeuvrability..

Dual fuel capability is available with No. 2 distillate as standard backup fuel. The unit can start on either gaseous or liquid fuel and can transfer under load. The combustion system can achieve 25/15 ppm NOx/CO on liquid fuel with water injection for NOx abatement.

In each unit, exhaust heat from the turbine is fed to a triple pressure HRSG operating at a steam temperature of 580C. As the plant is next to the Mediterranean Sea, both units are seawater cooled which contributes to the high plant efficiency.

Currently manufacturing of the first gas turbine is ongoing in Belfort, France and we are focused to deliver equipment per our contractual commitment during this crucial time. The first unit is expected to enter commercial operation in 2022 and the second unit in 2023.

A team of over 1,300 people has been mobilized for the project. In addition to the two HA units, GE Gas Power has also already delivered several other pieces of key equipment at the site, including two steam turbines, two gas turbine generators, two steam turbine generators, two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), two condensers, power island e-rooms and step-up transformers. Almost all the civil works, up to 85 percent of the procurement, and up to 60 percent of construction and commissioning works at the Hamriyah project, are now complete.
