The new turbine is a heavy duty industrial gas turbine designed to run successfully even in demanding environments. The engine is of modular design and can be split into sub modules quickly and easily. The casing of the compressor section is horizontally split for easy access to the rotor and simple maintenance. The combustor as well as the turbine sections are designed as rings without split joints to guarantee less degradation and high efficiency. Compressor and turbine airfoils are engineered according to state of the art 3D design rules. All bearings are of sleeve type and use standard ISO 46 grade lube oil. The engine features a dry low emissions combustion system to comply with ever more stringent regulations worldwide. The high efficiency minimises the CO2 emissions as well as operating cost. Exhaust temperatures are high enough to produce large amounts of steam for process applications.

The H-100 gas turbine was originally named “H-80” and, as of April 1, 2015 has been re-named “H-100″ to better reflect its capacity class. The H-100 was introduced in January 2010, when the first unit went into commercial operation at the Shin-Oita Power Station of the Kyushu Electric Power Company, Inc. in Japan.
In order to meet the North American market demands for flexibility and low NOx emissions, several modifications of the original H-100 have been implemented that make the H-100 an ideal candidate for peaking and load stabilization applications: A single digit NOx combustor is available that was adopted from MHPS larger, advanced 501G/J gas turbines, and a fast-start option allows a 10 minute gas turbine start from ignition to full load.
Due to its high exhaust energy, the H-100 is very suitable for combined cycle and cogeneration applications and achieves combined cycle plant ISO efficiencies over 56%, which is best-in-class for mid-size combined cycle plants. Moreover, the two-shaft design and associated high starting torque and variable speed range of the H-100 makes it an ideal driver for industrial equipment, such as liquefied natural gas refrigeration compressors.

The proven Siemens SGT-8000H series is a gas turbine model of top performance and efficiency. Short start-up times, high operational flexibility, and simple plant integration make it the gas turbine of choice for state-of-the-art combined cycle plants. In the Lausward power plant in Dsseldorf, Germany, the SGT5-8000H demonstrated a combined cycle efficiency of more than 61 percent.
The SGT5-8000H gas turbine for the 50Hz market and the SGT6-8000H gas turbine for the 60Hz market use many proven features from predecessor products, and the design concept was validated by a thorough test program at the Siemens testing facility, as well as an intense prototype testing in the Irsching power plant. In 2015, 16 Siemens H-class gas turbines were installed worldwide, cumulating a fleet experience of more than 150,000 fired hours.
Moderate firing temperatures allow the use of proven materials and provide for high reliability and low maintenance, leading to excellent availability. The SGT-8000H turbine series uses full on-board air cooling with valves for controlled cooling air supply, to cover the needs of different operating conditions. With world class fast cold start and hot restart capability, eg., combined cycle base load within 30min for hot start, the turbines provide a high operational flexibility.

Gas Turbines: Important Conversion Technology For The Future
Energy systems are undergoing fundamental changes across the world, driven by three key trends: decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation. Decentralised power generation, intelligent power grids, overall system integration, unconventional fuels and, of course, renewable energy sources (RES) are at the top of the energy agenda. On a global scale the pressing needs to cut CO2 emissions as well as local air pollution is resulting in an accelerated phase-out of coal-fired power plants and increased investments in clean energy technologies. Digital solutions are being developed and become available on a widespread basis, transforming energy systems to make them smarter, more reliable, more interconnected, safer and, above all, more efficient.
Despite the renewable boom, it is foreseen (e.g. by the International Energy Agency (IEA)) that conventional gas-fired power generation, currently the largest gas-consuming sector worldwide, will continue to play a strategic role. It will provide a reliable and cost effective, dispatchable power source to respond to peaks in demand and when intermittent renewable sources are not available, and its underlying technology can also provide carbon neutral solutions for power generation and mechanical drive in the longer term.
More information can be found in ETN’s latest R&D Recommendation Report, which involved experts from research institutes and universities, OEMs, suppliers and the user community. The report includes recommendations on key research topics of gas turbine development based on the current market outlook and the users’ demand. The full report can be downloaded here.
Energy & Turbomachinery Network (ETN Global) is a non-profit membership association bringing together the entire value chain of the gas turbine technology.
Through cooperative efforts and by initiating common activities and projects, ETN Global encourages and facilitates information exchange and cooperation to accelerate research, development, demonstration, and deployment of safe, secure, affordable and dispatchable carbon-neutral energy solutions.
Safe, secure, affordable and dispatchable carbon-neutral energy solutions.
Mission
Globally facilitate information exchange and cooperation to accelerate research, development, demonstration, and deployment of energy solutions in line with our vision.

Despite the renewable boom, it is foreseen that conventional gas-fired power generation, currently the largest gas-consuming sector worldwide, will continue to play a strategic role.
The GT User community within ETN Global decided to implement an aggregated strategy to address gas turbine users’ issues and trigger a dedicated response from OEMs, ISPs and the R&D community. The idea is to set-up various independent user groups on selected frequently used gas turbine engines within the user community for both power generation and oil and gas sector.
The strategy is to have a single and independent voice communicating user issues and a link to the whole gas turbine value chain which will provide a wide visibility and a strong push for exploring and developing solutions.
