1 Introduction:
The SGT-A05 gas turbine, manufactured by Siemens Energy, is a versatile and reliable
power generation solution used in various industrial applications.

More than 1,720 SGT-A05 gas turbines have been sold for industrial use to more than 500
customers in 55 countries, accumulating an impressive 133 million operating hours since its
introduction in 1963.

Today, these engines are delivered to our customers through a network of distributors who
incorporate the engine into complete generator sets, both stationery and mobile.

All Siemens Energy distributors are carefully chosen for their engineering and manufacturing
capabilities and commitment to adhere to Siemens Energy standards for quality and delivery.

This report provides an overview of the SGT-A05 gas turbine, including its specifications,
component specifications, applications, and troubleshooting considerations.

3.1 SGT-A05 Aeroderivative Gas Turbine variants

The SGT-A05 gas turbine variants produce electrical power output between 4 and 5.8 MW
for applications such as base load, combined heat and power, mobile power and emergency
power.

SGT-A05 variants fulfill the requirements of a wide spectrum of applications in terms of

efficiency, reliability, flexibility and environmental compatibility.

SGT-A05 gas turbine variants offer low life-cycle costs and an excellent return on
investment.
Reducing exhaust emission for our customers and their communities

SGT-A05 is offered with either standard rich burn or advanced lean-burn combustion
technology available with the Dry Low Emission (DLE) system.

The DLE system achieves emission levels better than 25 vppm NOx and 50 vppm CO. The
DLE System has achieved single digit NOx. *

50% turndown capability with emission compliance is available on the DLE system. Siemens
Energy continues to invest in further enhancing the emission and turndown capabilities of the
SGT-A05 gas turbine.

Water and steam injection diluent options are available for emissions reduction with standard
rich burn combustion configurations.

4 Decarbonization @ Siemens Energy

Currently, SGT-A05 is capable of operating on 30% vol. hydrogen with minimal hardware
changes on DLE and WLE systems.

Gas turbines remain an important element in power generation as electrification trends

toward full decarbonization and the hydrogen economy start to unfold. SGT-A05 gas turbines
can run on a wide range of fossil fuels today as we prepare to run on carbon-neutral fuels
when needed. Please contact us to find out how.

Reliability, availability, and grid stability will continue to be important features in an energy
environment with increased penetration of renewable energy. The fast- starting feature of the
SGT-A05 gas turbines, combined with carbon neutral fuels, makes this equipment the ideal
future-proof investment for projects such as data centers, peaking and baseload units. The
SGT-A05 will be capable of handling the hydrogen blended into existing natural gas
infrastructure or run as a standalone fuel.

Carbon neutral fuels are one of the most important future technologies to reduce greenhouse
gases and drive climate change, especially in industrial applications. The SGT-A05 gas
turbine technology enables our customers to supply energy sustainably, reliably, and
economically.

4.1 Decarbonization impact

 Reduction in CO₂ footprint with carbon neutral fuels, such as hydrogen

 Utilization of hydrogen from industry by-product (e.g., petrochemical)

4.1.1 More customer benefits

 Upgrading Siemens Energy gas turbines to carbon neutral fuel capability protects
existing assets and future investments for a fully decarbonized world

 Low NOx emissions through DLE or WLE technology (dry/wet low emission)
4.2 Decarbonizing energy one step at a time

The SGT-A05 operational and fuel flexibility enables the transition to reliable and
environmentally sustainable energy. Therefore, owners of existing and new SGT-A05 gas
turbine power plants can be confident of their plants’ roles in supporting the future energy
transition.

Applicable for baseload, back-up and combined heat and power generation, the SGT-A05
Hydrogen conversions will feature:

• Minimal hardware changes at lower H2 blends

• Significant CO2 reductions at higher H2 blends
• No power derate all the way up to 100% H2.
