GE Energy H SYSTEM WORLD S MOST ADVANCED COMBINED CYCLE TECHNOLOGY
World s Most Advanced Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Technology GE s H System the world s most advanced combined cycle system and the first capable of breaking the 60% efficiency barrier integrates the gas turbine, steam turbine and heat recovery steam generator into a seamless system, optimizing each component s performance. Undoubtedly the leading technology for both 50 and 60 Hz applications, the H delivers higher efficiency and output to reduce the cost of electricity of this gas-fired power generation system.
H System 2 H SYSTEM Closed-Loop Steam Cooling Open-loop air-cooled gas turbines have a significant temperature drop across the first stage nozzles, which, for a given combustion temperature, reduces firing temperature. The closed-loop steam cooling system allows the turbine to fire at a higher temperature for increased performance. It is this closedloop steam cooling that enables the H System to achieve 60% fuel efficiency capability while maintaining strict adherence to environmental standards. For every unit of power it will use less fuel and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to other large gas turbines. Baglan Bay Power Station Port Talbot Wales, UK is the launch site for GE s H System. Single Crystal Materials The use of these advanced materials, on the first stage nozzles and buckets, and Thermal Barrier Coatings, on the first and second stage nozzles and buckets, ensures that these components will stand up to high firing temperatures while meeting maintenance intervals. Dry Low NO x Combustors PSP30362-22 Building on GE s design experience, the H System employs a canannular lean pre-mix DLN-2.5 Dry Low NO x (DLN) Combustor System. Fourteen combustion chambers are used on the 9H, and 12 combustion chambers are used on the 7H. GE DLN combustion systems have demonstrated the ability to achieve low NO x levels in several million hours of field service around the world. An MS9001H is seen during assembly in the factory.

Small Footprint/High Power Density The H System offers approximately 40% improvement in power density per installed megawatt compared to other combined cycle systems, once again helping to reduce the overall cost of producing electricity. 3 H SYSTEM Thoroughly Tested The design, development and validation of the H System has been conducted under a regimen of extensive component, sub-system and full unit testing. Broad commercial introduction has been controlled to follow launch units demonstration. This thorough testing approach provides the introduction of cutting edge technology with high customer confidence.
