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. 

4.15           Lubrication System  

                  A complete lubrication system for the gas turbine will be furnished as 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           Borescope Inspection Provisions 

                  Ports and removable covers in the casing permit borescope inspection of the blades and vanes of the low pressure compressor, the high pressure compressor, the high pressure turbine, the low pressure turbine, combustor, frames, and accessory gearbox.
