Field Test Schedule

• Customer Commitment to perform testing – go ahead to ship hardware &
equipment - 6 mth lead time:
• All Combustion Hardware to Arrive on Site. Test Engineering Team arrives to begin site
preparation – 2 weeks prior to outage
• GE DLN TA to baseline the dynamics and emissions on unit (pre-test)
(test points to be provided by Combustion Design Engineering) – 2 days prior to outage
Outage Begins

Day 3: Remove Existing Combustion System & complete modifications to Test

Chamber Casings (supplied by GE) as per 114E5631 sheet 2.
Day 5: Install EL Combustion System
Day 8: Fire Unit with EL Hardware and Conduct Characterization Test (see 372A1629)
Day 13: Testing Complete, Unit turned over to Customer
Test Crew to pack-up test equipment
