4.0
LM6000PC Uprated GAS TURBINE GENERATOR SET
4.1
Gas Turbine
Major Components of the LM6000 turbine are:
-
5-stage
low pressure compressor (LPC)
-
14-stage
variable geometry high pressure compressor (HPC)
-
Annular
combustor
-
2-stage
air cooled high pressure turbine (HPT)
-
5-stage
low pressure turbine (LPT)
-
Accessory
Drive Gear Box
The LPC
will be driven through a concentric drive shaft by the 5-stage LPT, forming the
low-pressure rotor. The
high-pressure rotor will be formed by the 14-stage HPC, driven by the 2-stage
HPT. The high pressure
"core" will be formed by the HPC, combustor and HPT section.
The Unit
uses the Low-Pressure Turbine (LPT) powers the output shaft. Driving with the LPT improves fuel efficiency and allows the
turbine to be directly coupled to the electrical generator rotating at 3600 RPM.
The gas turbine drives the generator through a flexible dry type coupling
connected to the front, or "cold", end of the LPC shaft.
4.2
Turbine Cycle
The gas turbine cycle begins with air entering the inlet plenum, where it
is directed through inlet guide vanes into the LPC. The LPC compresses the air by a ratio of approximately 2.4:1.
Air leaving the LPC is directed into the HPC.
Variable bleed valves (VBV) in the flow passage between the two
compressors regulate the airflow entering the HPC during idle, low power
operation, and transient load conditions. To
further control the airflow, the HPC will be also equipped with variable pitch
inlet guide vanes and stator vanes.
The HPC compresses the air by a ratio of approximately 12:1. The HPC discharge will then be directed into the annular
combustor section where it mixes with the fuel from the 30 fuel nozzles.
One igniter initially ignites the fuel/air mixture.
When combustion is self-sustaining, the igniter will then be turned off. The hot combustion gases will then be directed into the HPT,
which consequently drives the HPC. The
gas then expands further through the LPT, which drives the LPC.
The flanged LPC shaft drives the electric generator.
4.3
Inlet Section
The air intake section of the
gas turbine consists of an annular flow section to direct the air stream into
the low-pressure compressor.
4.4
Low Pressure Compressor
The low-pressure compressor (LPC) will be a 5-stage axial flow compressor
with 2.4:1 pressure ratio. At
low power settings and during large power reduction transients modulating bleed
ports control LPC bypass flow to assure adequate LPC stall margins.
4.5
High Pressure Compressor
The high-pressure compressor (HPC) will be a 14-stage design. Variable
stators in stages 1 through 5 provide stall-free operation and high efficiency
throughout the starting and operating range.
The stator geometry of stages 6-14 will be fixed.
The HP compressor casing will be split horizontally to allow ready access
to the stator vanes and rotor blades for inspection or replacement.
4.6
Combustion System
The gas generator will be furnished with 30 externally mounted fuel
nozzles for the natural gas fuel system requirements.
For NOx reduction, water will also be injected into the fuel nozzles
through a separate manifold.
The Unit uses a high performance annular combustor with low exit
temperature pattern, low-pressure loss and high combustion efficiency at all
operating conditions.
4.7
High Pressure Turbine
The high-pressure turbine (HPT) will be an air cooled, 2-stage design
with demonstrated high efficiency.
The HPT will be designed to be easily maintainable in service.
Significant maintainability features include:
- Stage 1
nozzle assembly will be removable as a unit.
- Stage 2
nozzle assembly will be removable as a unit.
- Turbine
blades will be individually replaceable.
- Stage 1
and 2 shrouds will be segmented and designed for removal and replacement in the
stator assembly.
The 2-stage high-pressure turbine will be assembled on the same shaft as
the 14-stage high-pressure compressor.
Compressor discharge air will be used to cool the rotor structure and
both blade stages. The cooling air
flows through the shaft and the bore of the stage 1 disk, where it separates to
supply stage 1 and 2 blades. Compressor
discharge air and bleed air will be used to cool the HPT stator.
4.8
Low Pressure Turbine
A 5-stage low-pressure turbine receives the outlet flow from the HP
turbine. The LP turbine will be
mounted on a common shaft with the 5-stage LP compressor.
This shaft will be concentric to the HP rotor.
4.9 Gas
Turbine Support Structures
Three frames provide support for the LP and HP rotors.
-
Front
Frame
The front frame will be a major engine structure that provides support
for the LPC rotor and the forward end of the HPC rotor.
The frame also forms an airflow path between the outlet of the LPC and
the inlet of the HPC. Engine front
mount provisions will be made off the front frame.
The front frame contains the engine "A" sump that includes a
thrust and a radial bearing for support of the LPC rotor and a radial bearing
which supports the forward end of the HPC rotor.
Lubrication oil, supply and scavenge, lines for the "A" sump
will be routed inside the frame struts. The
engine inlet gearbox will be located in the "A" sump, with the radial
drive shaft extending out through the strut located at the six o'clock position.
-
Compressor
Rear Frame
The compressor rear frame consists of an outer case, 10 struts and the
"B-C" sump housing. The
outer case supports the combustor and 30 fuel nozzles.
The hub provides support for both a thrust bearing and a radial bearing
to support the mid section of the HP rotor system.
-
Turbine
Rear Frame
The turbine rear frame provides the aft connection of the gas turbine to
the base through the rear engine mounts and is the structure supporting the
"D-E" sump, and the LPT stator case.
4.10
Accessory Drive System
The hydraulic starter, lube and scavenge pump, variable geometry
hydraulic pump, and other accessories will be mounted and driven from the
accessory gearbox. The accessory
gearbox, located below the front HPC casing at the six o'clock position on the
air collector, will be driven from the transfer gearbox through a short
horizontal shaft. The transfer
gearbox will be driven by the high-pressure rotor system.
4.11
Variable Geometry (VG) Control System
The variable geometry system consists of a positive displacement
hydraulic pump, with torque motor positioned hydraulic servos for porting fluid
at regulated pressure, two HPC variable stator vane actuators and six LPC bleed
valve actuators. Electrical inputs
from the SSEP controls operate three separate servo valves mounted on the gas
turbine. The variable output
pressures from these servos position the low-pressure compressor variables bleed
valves (VBV) and the high-pressure compressor variable stator vanes (VSV).
Position feedback of the moving elements will be provided by linear
variable differential transformers (LVDT) integral with the actuators.
4.12
Gas Generator Overall Features
Included are modular LPC assembly, fabricated compressor front frame and
air collector, modular HPC and HPT, fabricated compressor rear frame and turbine
mid-frame and modular LPT. Each
rotating mass will be supported by roller bearings, and rotor axial thrust loads
are carried by ball bearings. Labyrinth
type, long-life seals will be used in the bearing sumps.
Each sump will be individually scavenged. A common line to an air/oil separator vents the “A”,
“B-C” and “D-E” sumps.
4.13
Starting Motor
A hydraulic motor will be installed on the accessory gearbox to provide
starting torque to the gas turbine. A
200 HP (150 kW) electric motor and hydraulic pump mounted on the auxiliary
equipment module provide pressured hydraulic oil to power the hydraulic starter
motor. (See Section 9).
4.14
Fuel Systems
The Purchaser will supply fuel in accordance with GE M&IAD Spec
MID-TD-0000-1 at the baseplate connection.
The components downstream of the baseplate connection are supplied by the
Seller.

described in Section 10. The lube
oil system includes mechanical pump, duplex filters, pressure and temperature
instrumentation, 304 stainless steel reservoir and a 304 stainless steel piping
system. The gas turbine uses
rolling element dry sump bearings. There
will be no need for auxiliary lube oil pumps.
Bearing sumps will be sealed with knife-edge seals and pressurized with
compressor bleed air. Oil will be
removed from the seal air by an air-oil coalescer mounted on the roof skid.
4.16
Ignition System
The ignition system includes one ignition unit, which converts the 115 V, 60 Hz power to high voltage, and includes a high tension lead and igniter. The ignition system will be used only during starting and will be turned off once the engine reaches idle speed.
4.17
