Are you running your data center with reciprocating engines? Here’s something you need to know: We have a cleaner, more modern technology that can power even the largest data center—today, and in the future—with a significantly smaller carbon footprint, all while complementing renewables. Meet GE Gas Power’s aeroderivative (aero) gas turbines.
No matter what type of data center configuration you have, we have an aero gas turbine that can work for you. Our solutions include temporary power to keep you online during your data center test phase.
GE's aeroderivative gas turbines are known for their high efficiency, low emissions, durability, and high reliability—advantages that reciprocating engines can’t offer. Our gas turbines run on natural gas or a variety of other gases including biofuels, landfill gas, and combustible industrial waste gases. These gas turbines can ramp up to full power (and back down) in five minutes.
The LM2500 is the most reliable aeroderivative gas turbine in the world, featuring reliability consistently above 99.8%. Great for helping to meet needs where flexible power is required quickly and efficiently, the LM2500XPRESS 50 Hz and 60 Hz power plants feature a 34 MW simple cycle power output and up to 39% simple cycle efficiency.
Its start time for a simple cycle is fewer than 5 minutes, and its ramp rate is 30 MW/minute. The LM2500XPRESS is a modular and scalable, prefabricated, skid-mounted, pre-commissioned solution with reduced on-site installation and commissioning and a zero gas turbine water consumption requirement.
Recommended for mobile power applications available within three months and fast-track or short-term duration projects, the TM2500 50 Hz and 60 Hz solutions have a 33.6 MW average power output and 36.7% average net efficiency.
Its start time for a simple cycle is fewer than 5 minutes, and its ramp rate is 30 MW/minute. The LM2500XPRESS is a modular and scalable, prefabricated, skid-mounted, pre-commissioned solution with reduced on-site installation and commissioning and a zero gas turbine water consumption requirement.
The LM6000 allows you to operate on a wide variety of fuels—including natural gas, LPG (propane and butane), isopentane, ethanol, diesel, and Coke Oven gas.
This allows you to quickly switch between fuels to save money, all without stopping or a reduction in power. It has a 45-58 MW net power output and up to 41.3% net efficiency. Its start time for a simple cycle is less than 5 minutes, and its ramp rate is 50 MW/minute. The LM6000 offers 99%+ start and operational reliability, alongside 98% availability. Its fast start allows operators to differentiate their dispatch capability, and its dual-fuel capabilities provide fuel flexibility and help customers meet emissions limits.
