The SGT6-5000F:
world class reliability – truly multitalented
Continuous flexibility, high performance and reliability,
high ­efficiency, and superior environmental indicators
are the requirements for electricity production today.
Meeting these challenges is no problem for the
SGT6-5000F and its various packages.

We are consistently working to make it even better,

which is why the SGT6-5000F is one of the best in class.

Its success proves us right Versatility you can count on

Since its market launch in 1993, the SGT6-5000F has
demonstrated world class reliability. An operating fleet
of 320 turbines with cumulative fired hours exceeding
ten million and a fleet reliability of consistently
99 percent speaks for itself. The SGT6-5000F’s world
class reliability is achieved through proven technology,
low F-class firing temperatures, and the use of conven-
tionally cast alloys in the turbine. Despite its low firing
­temperature, the SGT6-5000F packages deliver high-
level efficiency. However, the SGT6-5000F excels not
only in worldwide service, but also with remarkable
­performance parameters. Best of all, as the core package
component, the SGT6-5000F also influences the equally
exceptional performance of the packages in simple cycle
as well as combined cycle applications.
The SGT6-5000F is the basic component in numerous
different concepts in the area of fossil electricity genera-
tion. In the 60 Hz market, it is the first choice for simple
cycle and combined cycle operation with or without
­integrated gasification com­­bined cycle (IGCC), combined
heat and power (cogeneration), and repowering.
The 13-stage high efficiency compressor and four-stage
­turbine are on one central tie bolt rotor with Hirth
­serration. The SGT6-5000F is designed to use a wide
range of different fuels. It runs on natural gas, low
or medium calorific BTU gas, as well as on distillate oils –
and there is no need to shut down the turbine when
switching from gas to ­liquid fuel.

7
Flexibility that enables you to react with
maximum efficiency
The need for flexible power generation has increased
­dramatically over the years. The SGT6-5000F is the right
choice to meet those ever-changing energy demands.
The unique turbine design is always biased toward
high efficiency values. But in applications where power
has the a
­ bsolute top ­priority, we can rapidly increase
power output by an additional ten percent with Shaping
PowerTM – this provides operating flexibility to respond
to changing grid demands without impacting part life.
And to provide even more flexibility the SGT6-5000F with
­Shaping Power TM can also operate in “max efficiency”
mode with reduced fuel consumption.
The SGT6-5000F achieves short and c­ ost efficient start-up
times thanks to the fast start option. You can produce
power for the grid in five minutes and generate 150 MW
in ten minutes from turning gear speed. While connected
to the grid, the gas turbine can ramp at 30 MW/min –
with no service penalty. The low load turndown option
­provides you with the flexibility to reduce load down to
< 40 percent of gas t­ urbine base load while maintaining
emissions compliance. This gives you the benefits of
remaining cost effectively connected to the grid with
reduced fuel costs ­during off-peak hours, while also
­avoiding start-up and shutdown costs. You are therefore
able to respond more quickly to changing grid demands.
You can always rely on the SGT6-5000F for consistent
­performance with low emissions and high flexibility
in operation.
Environmental friendliness that allows you
to set benchmarks
With nine ppm NOx without water ­injection and less than
four ppm CO, the SGT6-5000F boasts the lowest emission
values today. We achieve this through the Ultra Low NOx
(ULN) ­combustion ­system.

11
Auxiliaries – the ideal equipment
to round out the package
We pay attention to the details. We not only offer
you the core c­ omponents for flexible and efficient
packages, we also provide the auxiliaries necessary
for economical and reliable operation. To minimize
field work during assembly and maintenance, the
­auxiliary systems and associated piping are designed
and manu­factured to allow easy access and require
fewer connections.

Air intake system Exhaust gas system

Ambient air is guided and filtered to the
compressor inlet with an option for a self-
cleaning (pulse) filter with automatic dust
removal. Inlet air conditioning options are
available that include evaporative cooling
and inlet chilling for increased output on
hot days. Inlet heating options are avail-
able for extreme cold environments.
Exhaust gas is guided from the gas turbine
via the diffuser to the turbine plant’s stack
or to a combined cycle plant’s heat recovery
steam generator (HRSG). A bypass stack
option is available for combined cycle
plants for switching between combined
cycle mode and simple cycle mode during
operation.

12
Electrical system
The electrical package contains equipment necessary
for sequencing, control, and monitoring of the gas turbine
and generator. This includes the gas turbine control system,
motor control centers, generator protective relay panels,
fire protection system, battery bank, battery charger,
and dry-type transformers.
Oil systems
The oil systems consist of a lube oil (LO) package and a
hydraulic oil power unit (HPU). The LO package provides
clean, filtered oil for lubricating and lifting the gas turbine
and generator bearings, and provides lubrication for the
turning gear. The LO skid consists of the lube oil reservoir,
LO pump, and lift oil pumps and provides a support struc-
ture for the LO cooling system (fin-fan air or water cooled).
An all-weatherproof lube oil enclosure option is available
for cold or dusty environments. The HPU provides medium-
pressure hydraulic oil to ­operate the gas fuel stage throttle
valve, the inlet guide vane actuator, and the variable guide
vane actuators.
Starting system
The starting system consists of an air cooled static fre-
quency converter (SFC) and a turning gear system. The
turning gear can be remotely and automatically operated.
The turning gear system rotates the rotor at 120 rpm
­during shutdown to facilitate a uniform cooldown.
During start-up, the turning gear rotates the rotor to
remove bow and facilitate a smooth start. The turning
gear also provides the breakaway torque to accelerate
the gas turbine to the speed needed to engage the SFC.
The SFC accelerates the gas turbine to ignition speed, and
after successful ignition the SFC will assist in accelerating
the unit to rated speed.
Compressor water wash skid
The compressor water wash skid is provided for online
and offline ­compressor cleaning. It features an AC motor-
driven pump, piping, valves, strainer junction box, cabling,
flowmeter, and detergent storage tank. Everything is
assembled on a portable skid for greater flexibility.
Enclosures
The gas turbine is housed in an enclosure with easy
disassemble/assemble walls for quick engine access.
Fire protection
The fire protection system gives a visual indication of
actuation at the local control panel. The fire suppressant
system provides total protection of the turbine enclosure
and the electrical control package.
There are many other options available to meet your
project specific needs.
