GT13E2 GAS TURBINE Superior flexibility / Superior performance
POWER
Power, productivity, profit Wherever they operate worldwide, utilities and independent power producers have to cope with rapid changes - tougher emissions legislation and fierce competition not least among them. At the same time they need to reduce production costs – yet major power interruptions dramatically illustrate the danger of cutting cost at the expense of reliability. To increase long-term profits, even at a time of volatile fuel and electricity prices, it is vital to continue to raise efficiency and productivity productivity.. Alstom’s GT13E2 gas turbine offers the highest engine efficiency of conventional class gas turbines yet has long inspection intervals. intervals. With millions of fired hours of operation to its credit, the GT13E2 is the perfect core of a power plant, designed to produce reliable, competitively priced electricity electricity.. The GT13E2 offers superior flexibility through two operating modes – one maximises performance, the other maximises operating operating time between inspection inspection intervals. In addition, the engine can actively actively support grid frequency with high response and no extra lifetime factors. The GT13E2, whose gas turbine technology has earned its stripes over the years, is designed for a wide range of applications. applications. It can operate as a stand-alone turbine turbine in a new or existing power plant design or as part of a turnkey power plant. Applications cover cover electrical power generation in base load, intermediate intermediate or peak duty. duty. It can be used in industrial applications such as aluminium smelters smelters or desalination plants. With its modularised and pre-tested auxiliaries, the GT13E2 can be brought on-line quickly to support phased plant construction.
Right technology, technology, right products Alstom’s gas turbines stand out for their high cost efficiency, availability and flexibility. The range covers a wide spectrum of products, including machines for both the 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets. They can operate either in simple cycle or combined cycle and are fuelled by natural gas, medium or low calorific gases or light oil; with on-line fuel switch over capability eliminating dependency on any one fuel.
02
GT13E2: the benefits
Unmatched efficiency The GT13E2 has the highest open-cycle efficiency of conventional class gas turbines – close to 37% (ISO) – with a high exhaust energy level. This offers significant fuel cost savings over competing technologies for a wide variety of applications. It is achieved by carefully optimizing existing proven technology – without the need for expensive and high-maintenance technologies used in some advanced gas turbines. The benefit of lower operating cost is, therefore, not compromised by higher maintenance costs or reduced availability.
Operational flexibility The GT13E2 can operate in either a performance optimised mode or a lifetime optimised mode without having to change hardware. Both respond to increasingly volatile markets by allowing the operator to select, on-line, the best operating mode to maximise profit. Operational flexibility also includes the ability to handle wide fluctuations in gas composition. In addition, the engine can operate on diesel oil (with or without water injection for NOx control), with an on-line switch-over between gas and oil even at full load.
Low maintenance cost/ longer inspection intervals The GT13E2 has a number of family assets. Firstly, the maintenance-free welded rotor eliminates the need for major overhauls. Secondly, the fully annular combustor does not require any combustor inspections. With the GT13E2, you 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 evolution The GT13E2 continues to be at the cutting edge thanks to constant technology evolution. These incremental improvements use the engineering tools validated at the Alstom Test Power Plant and confirmed with test campaigns in the field. Two retrofittable upgrades on the GT13E2 are a prime illustration – improved turbine blading with the flexible operating concept and a compressor upgrade.
03
Designed for dependable, low cost operation Every component of the GT13E2 is the result of time-tested design principles, thorough validation and manufacturing processes conforming to the highest standards.
Maintenance-free welded rotor Alstom’s welded rotor was first introduced in 1929 for steam turbines and has been operating successfully in both Alstom gas and steam turbines. The rotor is welded from forged discs that ensure high rotor stiffness with two-bearing support.
Rotor manufacturing welding process.
The welded rotor design eliminates maintenance work such as restacking and disk replacement or factory rotor overhaul and thus eliminates the need for a so called “major overhaul” of the GT.
Low-stage loaded compressor The 21-stage compressor with its low stage loading yields a high surge margin and high reliability. Variable inlet guide vanes control airflow efficiently, increasing part load efficiency and starting reliability.
Annular combustor A fully annular combustion chamber distributes the circumferential temperature evenly while avoiding problem zones such as cross-firing tubes or transition pieces. In addition the annular combustion systems of Alstom do not need a so called "combustor inspection" as for can-annular systems which reduces the amount of maintenance leading to higher availability.
04
Turbine Advanced aerodynamics and multi-convective cooling schemes contribute significantly to the GT13E2’s outstanding efficiency.
Dry low NOx EV burner EV (EnVironmental) burner technology, operating successfully for several millions of hours throughout the Alstom gas turbine fleet, gives long burner life, no maintenance between hot gas path inspection and low emissions. The EV burner gives the benefit of dry low NOx combustion for operation with different natural gases, with the option to run with liquid fuel as an alternative.
The design of the first turbine stage, combined with thermal barrier coating (TBC) and conservative firing 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 The straight-line arrangement of gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) facilitates compact plant layouts. The elimination of the turning elbow reduces back-pressure and turbulence at the HRSG inlet. This improves unit performance in simple and combined cycle mode.
05
Flexibility and efficiency The longer and more flexible inspection intervals that the GT13E2 offers, linked to higher efficiency when required, provide the optimal hedging against fuel price uncertainty.
Extended inspection intervals One of the key benefits of the GT13E2 is the 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). You get this benefit with only a marginal reduction in efficiency and output. The GT13E2’s optimised operation mode allows for 36,000 equivalent operating hours between Hot Gas Path inspections.
Efficiency The GT13E2 has the highest efficiency of conventional class gas turbines in simple cycle. It offers unrivalled performance in markets where fuel prices are high or fluctuate regularly. The combination of high power output and high conventional class availability in both simple and combined cycle are compelling advantages. The performance optimised operation mode also offers the lowest Cost of Electricity (CoE) when fuel prices are high.
The importance of flexibility Where demand is seasonal or fuel prices are volatile, the ability to switch between operation modes on-line provides an added operational advantage. The GT13E2 has been designed to deliver the high operational flexibility that allows a plant owner to maximise profits with the same hardware.
06
Meeting customer requirements Our long experience working with customers and our understanding of different markets across the globe enable us to adapt to a variety of customer needs.
Low fuel prices When fuel prices are low, O&M costs have a significant impact on the total Cost of Electricity (CoE). To keep O&M costs down, as plant owner you may decide to run the plant with longer inspection intervals. Using this operation mode of the GT13E2, maintenance costs can be contained since the EOH
Hot Gas Path inspection intervals run to 36,000 equivalent operating hours. Furthermore, at around 0.2%, the reduction in simple-cycle efficiency is negligible. The contributions of O&M, fuel and capital costs to the total Cost of Electricity, and the preferable configuration, are shown in the figure below.

High fuel and/or electricity prices When fuel prices are high, the fuel portion of CoE becomes the dominant cost factor. Here, efficiency has a huge leverage effect. You cannot influence the fuel prices, but you can strive to get maximum power from the fuel to partly compensate. The performance optimised operation mode of the GT 13E2 assures maximum power - the highest power output in its class, with the added benefit of high efficiency, both in simple cycle and combined cycle, at high availability and reliability levels. In times of peak demand, when electricity prices are high, switching to the performance optimised operation mode allows you to maximise revenues. Alstom also offers integrated inlet cooling and power increase options that give even more operational flexibility for following a variable electricity demand.
