Its success proves us right

Since its market launch in 1993, the SGT6-5000F has
demonstrated world class reliability. An operating fleet
of 320 turbines with cumulative fired hours exceeding
ten million and a fleet reliability of consistently
99 percent speaks for itself. The SGT6-5000Fs world
class reliability isachieved through proven technology,
low F-class firing temperatures, and theuse of conventionally cast alloys inthe turbine. Despite its low firing
temperature, the SGT6-5000F packages deliver highlevel efficiency. However, the SGT6-5000F excels not
only in worldwide service, but also with remarkable
performance parameters. Best of all, as the core package
component, the SGT6-5000F also influences the equally
exceptional performance ofthe packages in simple cycle
as well as combined cycle applications.

Versatility you can count on

The SGT6-5000F is the basic component in numerous
different concepts in the area of fossil electricity generation. In the 60 Hz market, it is the first choice forsimple
cycle and combined cycle operation with orwithout
integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), combined
heat and power (cogeneration), and repowering.
The 13-stage high efficiency compressor and four-stage
turbine are on one central tie bolt rotor with Hirth
serration. The SGT6-5000F isdesigned to use a wide
range of different fuels. It runs on natural gas, low
ormedium calorific BTU gas, as well as on distillate oils
and there is no need to shut down the turbine when
switching from gas to liquidfuel.

Flexibility that enables you to react with

maximum efficiency
The need for flexible power generation has increased
dramatically over the years. The SGT6-5000F is the right
choice to meet those ever-changing energy demands.
The unique turbine design is always biased toward
high efficiency values. But in applications where power
has the a
bsolute top priority, we can rapidly increase
power output by an additional ten percent with Shaping
PowerTM this provides operating flexibility to respond
to changing grid demands without impacting part life.
And to provide even more flexibility the SGT6-5000F with
Shaping Power TM can also operate in max efficiency
mode with reduced fuel consumption.
The SGT6-5000F achieves short and c ost efficient start-up
times thanks to the fast start option. You can produce
power for the grid in five minutes and generate 150 MW
in ten minutes from turning gear speed. While connected

to the grid, the gas turbine can ramp at 30MW/min

with no service penalty. The low load turndown option
provides you with the flexibility to reduce load down to
< 40 percent of gas t urbine base load while maintaining
emissions compliance. This gives youthe benefits of
remaining cost effectively connected to the grid with
reduced fuel costs during off-peak hours, while also
avoiding start-up and shutdown costs. You are therefore
able to respond more quickly to changing grid demands.
You can always rely on the SGT6-5000F for consistent
performance with low emissions and high flexibility
in operation.
Environmental friendliness that allows you
to set benchmarks
Withnine ppm NOx without water injection and less than
four ppm CO, the SGT6-5000F boasts the lowest emission
values today. We achieve this through the Ultra Low NOx
(ULN) combustion system.

Elk River Plant
Since July 2009, Great River Energy (GRE) in Minnesota
(U.S.) has placed its trust in our package technology.
GRE successfully operates a SGT6-PAC 5000F package
tasked with managing peak loads at its Elk River simple
cycle gas turbine power plant.
Great River Energy specifically opted for our SGT6-PAC
5000F package because a significant proportion of their
power supply is p
rovided by wind power. The gas turbine
is deployed as a powerful and flexible peaker to handle
power peaks regardless of weather conditions. This is an
ideal area of application: because of its fast start-up time,
the SGT6-5000F can compensate for power shortfalls in
an extremely short time, and so it plays an invaluable
role in providing a reliable and stable power supply.
