[More power. [25% more simple cycle power]]
[[18% more exhaust energy for cogeneration applications]]
[[160+ million operating hours from flight experience]]
[>>Introducing GE's next-generation LM6000 PG,]
[with a single annular combustor,]
[and the LM6000 PH, its dry low-emissions equivalent. ]
[This cutting-edge gas turbine system is better, not bigger. ]
[[Cory Nelson, General Manager LM6000/LM5000, GE Energy] We're getting about]
[25% more simple-cycle power and 18% more exhaust energy ]
[in the same footprint that we have today. ]
[>>The improved package design could yield complete site installation]
[The LM6000 platform is a proven solution,]
[with 750 installed units, 18 million operating hours, ]
[[George Davies, Operations Manager, Turlock Irrigation District, Launch customer for LM6000 PG]]
[GE makes good equipment; GE provides good service. ]
[The technical expertise of GE field personnel has been excellent. ]
[>>GE's latest gas turbine system incorporates successful material and technology upgrades ]
[previously demonstrated on the CF6 and GE90 aircraft engines and the LMS100. ]
[Operators benefit from a global experience base as well as ]
[design commonalities with other GE gas turbine products. ]
[[Nelson] We expect to see similar levels of reliability and availability that we have today. ]
[>>Improved combined cycle efficiency can reduce fuel consumption ]
[by the equivalent of 33,000 barrels of oil per year]
[while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 6500 tons. ]
[That's the equivalent of removing 2500 cars from the road annually. ]
[With the new PG and PH models, customers win ]
[with more power from a proven solution.]
[The track record for the LM6000 is impressive. ]
[It's been the #1 selling gas turbine in the 35- to 65-megawatt range over the last 10 years. ]
[It offers the operational flexibility required for cogeneration ]
[as well as simple and combined-cycle applications. ]
[It provides the greatest economic value with the highest availability. ]
[And the LM6000 has 5 times more experience ]
[than all other competing units combined. ]
[[Davies] We have a long history with GE equipment, ]
[and we see no reason to venture outside of that. ]
