Both highly versatile and highly efcient, Alstoms GT13E2 truly sets the standard.

GT13E2 the latest evolution of gas turbine technology

Alstoms GT13E2 gas turbine delivers the highest engine efciency of any conventional class gas turbine, coupled with long inspection intervals. With millions of red hours of operation to its credit, it provides the perfect core for a power plant, designed to produce reliable, competitively priced electricity. Utilities and independent power producers face rapid changes tougher emissions legislation and erce competition not least among them. We know our customers need the high levels of efciency and performance that the GT13E2 delivers. Its combination of high power output and high conventional class availability in both simple and combined-cycle plants has made it rst choice with operators across the world. The GT13E2 offers superior exibility through two operating modes one maximises performance, the other maximises operating time between inspection intervals. In addition, the engine can actively support grid frequency with high response and no extra lifetime factors. In the power industry, versatility is key. The GT13E2 provides exceptional performance
for a wide range of applications and can operate as a stand-alone turbine in a new or existing power plant design or as part of a turnkey power plant. Applications cover electrical power generation in base load, intermediate or peak duty. It can be used in industrial applications such as aluminium smelters or cogeneration plants, like district heating or desalination. Finally, its modularised and pre-tested auxiliaries mean it can be brought on-line quickly to support phased plant construction.

Greater efciency.
Meeting the power

Key benets
Unrivalled efciency
The GT13E2 has the highest open-cycle efciency of any conventional class gas turbine, with a high exhaust energy level providing signicant fuel cost savings. Unlike many advanced gas turbines that come with high maintenance costs or reduced availability, in creating the GT13E2 we have optimised our existing proven technology to add these fuel cost savings without compromising in other areas.

Operational exibility
Todays markets are volatile. To maximise prot, the GT13E2 can operate in either a Performance Optimised Mode or a Maintenance Costs Optimised Mode: one maximises performance, the other maximises operating time between inspection intervals. With no change in hardware, plant operators simply respond to market changes by selecting the best mode online. The turbine can also handle wide uctuations in gas composition while the engine can operate on diesel oil (with or without water injection for NOx control), with an online switch-over between gas and oil, even at full load.

In an unpredictable energy market, the GT13E2 makes it simple to switch between operation modes.

04

Higher performance
industrys high demands

In an unpredictable energy market, the GT13E2 makes it simple to switch between operation modes.
Easier maintenance / reduced repair work
With the GT13E2, operators can achieve maintenance intervals of 36,000 Equivalent Operating Hours (EOH) between hot gas path inspections. This makes the GT13E2 the ultimate choice for operating regimes with a higher sensitivity to O&M costs and availability.

Continuous enhancement
We are constantly evolving the GT13E2, keeping it at the very cutting-edge of turbine technology. We do this by making incremental improvements. The GT13E2 had three upgrades so far, perfectly illustrating the way we make these enhancements: every upgrade to our turbine blading compressor and combustor has increased performance, boosted operational exibility and reduced maintenance time.

Versatility
As well as covering electrical power generation at base load, intermediate or peak duty, the GT13E2 provides a cogeneration solution. Ideal for industrial applications such as aluminium smelters, district heating or desalination plants, it makes use of exhaust heat to generate thermal energy for a range of applications. It has been designed for superior performance under all conditions including extreme heat or cold.

05

Designing excellence
Meeting the

With every upgrade, Alstom increases efciency and availability, by reducing maintenance time and extending inspection intervals.

Maintenance-free welded rotor

Alstoms welded rotor was rst introduced for steam turbines in 1929 and has been operating successfully in our gas and steam turbines every since. The rotor is welded from forged discs that ensure high stiffness with two-bearing support. This design eliminates maintenance work such as restacking and disk replacement or factory rotor overhaul. It also removes the need for major overhauls.

Low-stage loaded compressor

The 16-stage compressor with its low stage loading yields a high surge margin and high reliability. Three rows of variable guide vanes control airow efciently, increasing part load efciency and starting reliability, with improved environmental turndown.

Annular combustor
A fully annular combustion chamber distributes the circumferential temperature evenly while avoiding problem zones such as cross-ring tubes or transition pieces. Alstoms annular combustion systems also do not need any combustor inspections as for can-annular systems. This reduces the amount of maintenance leading to higher availability.

06

demands of todays plant owners

Dry low NOx AEV burner

Our AEV (Advanced EnVironmental) burner technology is a further renement of the EV burner, which has operated successfully for several millions of hours throughout the Alstom gas turbine eet, with a long burner life, no maintenance between hot gas path inspection and low emissions. The AEV burner gives the benet of dry low NOx combustion for operation with different natural gases, with the option to run with liquid fuel as an alternative.

Turbine
Advanced aerodynamics and multi-convective cooling schemes contribute signicantly to the GT13E2s outstanding efciency. The design of the rst turbine stage, combined with thermal barrier coating and conservative ring temperatures, allows extended inspection intervals of up to 36,000 EOH. All Inconel 738 conventional cast turbine airfoils and heat shields ensure long parts life and allow for full, cost-effective refurbishment.

Axial exhaust system

For power producers limited on space, the straight-line arrangement of our gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) facilitates compact plant layouts. By eliminating the turning elbow, plant owners also benet from reduced back-pressure and turbulence at the HRSG inlet, improving performance in both simple and combinedcycle mode.

and performance
Delivering outstanding results

Extended inspection intervals

One of the key advantages of the GT13E2 is its ability to operate with extended inspection intervals for low fuel cost applications or in schemes where fuel is provided by the power off-taker (Tolling or Energy Conversion schemes). The GT13E2s Optimised Operation Mode allows for 36,000 equivalent operating hours between Hot Gas Path inspections. Plant operators can receive this benet with only a very marginal reduction in efciency and output.

Performance
The GT13E2 delivers exceptional performance coupled with low emissions at full and part load with low turndown. The worlds most reliable heavy-duty gas turbine, it offers a fast start and high load gradients as well as a frequency response in the wide load range. Plant operators benet from its high fuel exibility and power augmentation options.

Efciency
In simple cycle turbines, the GT13E2 provides the highest efciency in its class, delivering unrivalled performance in markets where fuel costs are higher or uctuate regularly. Its Performance Optimised Operation Mode also offers the lowest Cost of Electricity (CoE) when fuel prices rise.

The importance of exibility

The GT13E2 has been designed to deliver high operational exibility. This includes the ability to switch between operation modes online. If demand is seasonal or fuel prices are volatile, this ability to switch modes without changing hardware brings a crucial advantage, maximising prots.

Seamless integration
Simple.

Alstom engineers work in partnership with our customers to meet every requirement.
Developing, building, and operating a protable gas turbine power plant goes far beyond selecting the best components. A key aspect is integration, which can substantially enhance exibility and performance. As a leading EPC contractor, we approach every integration project with the following list of requirements for our gas turbines: The gas turbine should be designed for simple and cost effective integration into the overall plant. In-depth, comprehensive user information should be readily available. Application consulting should be available when required.

Plant owners add the following requirements to the list: Operational exibility to support plant dispatch requirements such as quick start-up, fuel exibility, black start, power augmentation, air inlet cooling. Operational stability to accommodate sudden load changes, active grid frequency support, black grid restoration, partial or global load rejection. An efcient Operation & Maintenance regime. With the Alstom GT13E2 gas turbine, all the above come as standard. The GT13E2 is backed by Alstoms plant operating and maintenance service expertise, with a portfolio including any level of service from spare parts delivery up to full operation and maintenance. Operational support is also available on a 24/7 basis with the on-line Alstom Monitoring and Diagnosis System (AMODIS). The GT13E2 is the result of years of Alstom experience in gas turbine plant design and construction. This experience goes back to the worlds rst commercial gas turbine plant in Neuchtel, Switzerland, in 1939. Today, Alstom is the leading EPC contractor worldwide, with technology for all plant components in house.
