Gas Turbine Lm5000 Operations Manual
Dec 1, 2017 - Aeroderivative gas turbines GTs) are a popular choice for energy generation thanks to. GE's fleet comprises 62 units operating in 10 countries (all simple cycle except five). 81, Turbomachinery 2018 Handbook). Offering a full range of MRO services for LM 2500, LM 5000 and LM6000 gas turbines.
GE LM2500, LM5000, LM6000 Gas Turbine Services GE LM2500 – LM6000 Controls The GE LM series is one of the most advanced ranges of turbines in the world. The requirements for safe, accurate controls of these turbines are very rigorous. The control system must be capable of very rapid scan times and include critical compressor surge monitoring.
The HPI engineers have a detailed knowledge of the GE Installation Design Manual (IDM), and all of the HPI control systems meet or exceed these requirements. HPI is world leader in the supply of critical control systems of this type. HPI’s knowledge of the LM series dates back to the early 1990’s.
HPI provides fully engineered, custom PAC- and PLC-based control systems for LM1600, LM2500, LM5000, and LM6000 gas turbines. These control solutions include precise automatic governing, sequencing and load control, regardless of industry or application. The HPI control systems have been proven to dramatically increase start availability, reliability, and performance when compared to analog-relay or hydro-mechanical systems. It also has extensive diagnostics and communication facilities allowing for easy interface with other systems, including SCADA or DCS. The HPI controls solution leverages commercially off-the-shelf (COTS) PAC and PLC controls and open architecture software.

These systems are safe and cost effective, providing a flexible solution to any LM application. GE LM Series Maintenance and Field Services HPI has GE-trained LM engineers, who support all LM series turbine-associated equipment. These engineers are able to troubleshoot the root cause of performance and maintenance issues in addition to providing guidance on managing the life of the engine.
LM6000 LM6000 GTG in an electrical application Type National origin Manufacturer Developed from The LM6000 is a. The LM6000 is derived from the. It has additions and modifications designed to make it more suitable for marine propulsion, industrial power generation, and marine power generation use. These include an expanded section to convert thrust into shaft power, supports and struts for mounting on a steel or concrete deck, and reworked controls packages for power generation.
It has found wide use including, fast and high speed applications. Contents. Design and development The LM6000 provides 54,610 shaft (40,700 kW) from either end of the low-pressure rotor system, which rotates at 3,600 rpm. This twin spool design with the low pressure turbine operating at 60 Hz, the dominant electrical frequency in North America, eliminates the need for a conventional power turbine. Its high efficiency and installation flexibility make it ideal also for a wide variety of utility power generation and industrial applications, especially and plants.
GE has several option packages for industrial LM6000s, including SPRINT (Spray Inter-Cooled Turbine), water injection (widely known as ' water'), STIG (Steam Injected Gas Turbine) technology and DLE (Dry Low Emissions) which utilizes a combustor with premixers to maximize combustion efficiency. The SPRINT option is designed to increase efficiency and power of the turbine, while the water injection, STIG and DLE are for reducing emissions. An alternative form of power augmentation is Evaporative Cooling, which is a water fogging system that sprays a fine mist of water into the inlet air before the air filters. This system is high maintenance and may be replaced by chillers in newer units. The SPRINT system injects demineralized water into the engine either upstream of the low pressure compressor or between the low pressure and high pressure compressors. The water injection system injects water into the primary or secondary fuel nozzle inputs, usually on natural gas fired engines.
The GE LM6000 PC is rated to provide more than 43 MW with a of around 42% LHV. With options, this can be increased to around 50MW rated power. Applications Over 1000 LM6000 gas turbines shipped and over 21 million hours of operation.
