Overview
LM6000 power plants
With over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,200 units shipped, GE’s LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine has more operating experience than any other aeroderivative gas turbine greater in the +40 MW space. The LM6000 offers greater than 99 percent start and operational reliability and over 98 percent availability. Its 5-minute fast start allows operators to differentiate their dispatch capability while a simple two-spool design results in lower overall maintenance costs. Universal and modular packaging gives the LM6000 a smaller footprint and allows for faster installation and commissioning.
Faster power to the grid
Introducing the LM6000VELOX* aeroderivative solution
The new LM6000VELOX aeroderivative solution aims to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000 turbines by up to 40%, saving up to 4,000 labor hours. This translates to an expected 90 days I&C schedule. Thanks to multiple enhanced modularity features, the LM6000VELOX aeroderivative solution is ushering in a new era of speed in the energy industry.
GE Vernova's LM6000VELOX aeroderivative solution is available:
- In both simple- and combined-cycle configurations.
- As either a DLE or SAC (water injected) combustor configuration.
- For both 50- and 60-Hertz segments.
