9HA.01/.02 GAS TURBINE

The Worlds Largest and Most Efficient Heavy Duty Gas Turbine

The 9HA high efficiency, air cooled gas turbine is the industry leader among H-class offerings. With two available modelsthe
9HA.01 at 397 MW and the 9HA.02 at 510 MWcustomers can select the right capacity to meet their generation needs. Thanks
to a simplified air cooled architecture, advanced materials, and proven operability and reliability, the 9HA delivers the lowest
life cycle cost per MW. The economies of scale created by this high power density gas turbine, combined with its more than 61%
combined cycle efficiency, enables the most cost effective conversion of fuel to electricity to help operators meet increasingly
dynamic power demands.

>61% COMBINED CYCLE EFFICIENCY

Industry-Leading Operational Flexibility for

Increased Dispatch and Ancillary Revenue
F ast 10-minute ramp-up from start command to gas turbine full load.
U
 p to 70 MW/minute ramping capability within emissions compliance.
R
 eaches turndown as low as 40% of gas turbine baseload output
within emissions compliance.
Fuel flexible to accommodate gas and liquid fuels with wide gas
variability, including high ethane (shale) gas and liquefied natural gas.

Least Complex H-Class Offering

A simpler configuration than GEs previous H-class fleet and
one that does not require a separate cooling air system.
Modular systems ease installation and reduce on-site labor
requirements.
Streamlined maintenance with quick removal turbine roof,
field-replaceable blades, and 100% borescope inspection
coverage for all blades.

Full-Load Validation
At the heart of GEs heavy duty gas turbine validation program is
the advanced full-scale, full-load test facility in Greenville, SC.
GEs 9HA gas turbine has been fully validated in its full speed,
full-load test facility over an operating envelope larger than the
variances an entire fleet of turbines would experience in the field,
an approach that is superior to operating a field prototype for
8,000 hours.
