6F.01/.03 GAS TURBINE

Advanced Technology for Decentralized Power

The 6F.01 gas turbine achieves nearly 56% efficiency in 2x1 combined cycle arrangement, and more than 80% efficiency in
cogeneration operation. Its 600C exhaust temperature enables up to 140 bar high pressure steam for combined cycle power
generation or cogeneration. Whether you need to generate power on-site or produce steam for petrochemical or DH operations,
the 6F.03 heavy duty combined cycle gas turbine delivers high levels of efficiency, availability, flexibility, and reliability. Its high
exhaust energy makes the 6F.03 gas turbine ideal for 50 or 60 Hz midsize combined cycle, industrial cogeneration, DH, and
remote-processing applications.

GAS TURBINE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

Efficient, Flexible, Reliable Power

Validation That Demonstrates

Performance

GE offers the worlds largest range of heavy

duty gas turbinesfrom 44 to 510 MW.
Whether for consumer electrical generation,
industrial cogeneration, or mechanical drive
applications, GEs gas turbines bring proven
experience and capability to any power
plant. On the cutting edge of gas turbine
technology, GEs wide array of equipment
options can meet even the most challenging
power requirements.

GE built the worlds largest, most powerful

off-grid gas turbine testing facility to
demonstrate gas turbine operability and
performance before first fire in the field.

 ugged and available in the most arduous
climates.

GE takes advantage of more than 60 years of

material science from our aviation heritage
to increase performance at high firing
temperatures. GE was the first to introduce
single crystal alloys and devoted 15 years to
developing CMCs. These materials provide
longer parts life for lower life cycle costs
and higher efficiencies, leading to a cost
effective conversion of fuel to electricity.

GE is the industry leader in burning

unconventional gas. We introduced the
first F-class gas turbine to use Arabian
super light crude and invented the DLN
combustion system more than 30 years
ago to reduce emissions.
