Today the power generation business requires machinery manufacturers to be focused on thermal
efficiency, reduction of emissions and operational flexibility because of their strong impact on plant
operating cost both for Utility plants and Industrial cogeneration. Combined cycle plants fueled by natural
gas have become the preferred solution to meet the above requirements and most of design efforts have
been directed towards improving the performance of gas fired turbo-generators including features that
provide environment friendliness. GE Oil & Gas has a complete line of stream turbines for medium/small
size combined cycle applications.

Overview of GE Industrial steam turbines

GE Oil & Gas Steam Turbines use both impulse and reaction blades technology for superior efficiency over
a broad range of operating conditions. Used in condensing configurations, they virtually cover the gamut
of Oil & Gas and Industrial Power Generation applications.

The modular structured design permits a high degree of customization to meet the specific
steam cycle needs and it can provide controlled or uncontrolled extraction/ injection of steam at any
possible intermediate pressure level.
The inlet section has a trip valve directly mounted on the turbine casing and hydraulically
actuated multi-valves for sliding pressure of constant pressure control.
Steam flow is controlled by partial or full-arc admission. Controlled extractions can be handled
with a multivalve system similar to that used in the inlet section, or with off-shell throttling valves
depending on the pressure levels and application requirements.
The exhaust section is in a separate casing flanged to the high pressure section.
It can be radial (upward or downward flow) or axial.

Steam Turbine offerings for GE Fr6 and Fr7 GTs

Steam Turbine Solutions for Combined Cycle Applications

GE Oil & Gas Industrial steam turbines are a good match for combined cycle plants with GE heavy duty
frame GTs because of their modular design that assures high reliability and superior thermodynamic and
mechanical performance. This insures the right match both for standardized/modular plants and for
custom tailored power plants for industrial cogeneration. These steam turbines are suitable for frequent
starting-and-loading duty and are designed for high cyclic life without compromising base load capability.
