In particular, besides the conventional fuels such as:

natural gas
light distillate
also special applications for burning
syngas, refinery gases, blast furnace gases
hydrogen enriched fuels
(in connection with CO2 sequestration projects)
naphtha
heavy oil
are fully available for our gas turbines. In addition, the possibility to perform frequent
and fast start up/shut down and the capability to sustain grid frequency variation and
high transient modes, such us load rejection and island mode, make the gas turbines
fundamental helpers of the electrical grid.

GE 9FA Heavy Duty Gas Turbine

The most experienced F-class 50 Hz product
First introduced in 1992, the 9FA heavy duty gas turbine is a popular choice for combined cycle,
cogeneration, or simple cycle plants where flexible operation and high performance are prime
considerations.
Designed for 50 Hz applications, this advanced technology turbine delivers power with high
efficiency, availability, reliability, and low emissions. The 9FA gas turbine provides the flexibility required
today in many regions for power that can be rapidly adjusted to compensate for changes in renewable
generation, demand or use. It provides the plant operator with choices to best meet fluctuating power
demands.

Features & Benefits

The Enhanced Compressor increases reliability and availability, and reduces periodic inspections
and maintenance costs.
Dry Low NOx (DLN) 2.6+ combustion system .
Blade Health Monitoring System
Cooling Optimization
Fast Start reduces start time of the gas turbine across the entire start sequence. For simple cycle, this
product option delivers a 15-minute start to full load. For combined cycle power plants, this production
option reduces the start time of the power plant by as much as 20 min.

Application
GE Energy's wide range of flexible power generation applications for the 9FA gas turbine include simple
cycle, combined cycle, and cogeneration in both cyclic and baseload operation using a wide range of
fuels.

Combined Cycle applications are common in today's power plants. The gas turbine generator
produces electricity and captures the waste heat to make steam to generate additional electricity via
a steam turbine. Today, 95% of the 9FA gas turbine fleet is operating in combined cycle mode.

Cogeneration is the production of electricity and useful thermal energy simultaneously from a
common fuel source. The rejected heat from industrial processes can be used to power an electric
generator. Surplus heat from an electric generator can be used for industrial processes or for
heating purposes.

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is the production of electricity from combined cycle
gas turbine power plant operating on synthesis gas (syngas) derived from gasification of coal or
other fossil fuels. In this case, the 9FA gas turbine is configured as a 9F syngas turbine with GE's
Multi-Nozzle Quiet Combustor (MNQC) for operation on syngas or high hydrogen fuels, enabling
carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) or use of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Integrated Water and Power Plant (IWPP) is the co-production of electricity and water in a single
plant. Potable water is generated using the thermal energy in the gas turbine exhaust to drive
desalination.

Design
The 9FA heavy duty gas turbine is aerodynamically scaled from 7FA gas turbine. It uses advanced
aircraft engine technology in its design. Key advantages of the 9FA gas turbine include its fuel-flexible
combustion system and high output performance.

Dry Low NOx (DLN) 2.6+ combustor

Eighteen-stage, axial flow compressor is designed with an ISO base pressure ratio of 17:1 and
airflow of 203 kg/second. High strength, corrosion resistant stainless steel airfoil material is used on
the first eight stages with the remaining airfoils made of steel alloy.
