With over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,200 units shipped, GE’s LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine has more operating experience than any other aeroderivative gas turbine greater in the +40 MW space. The LM6000 offers greater than 99 percent start and operational reliability and over 98 percent availability. Its 5-minute fast start allows operators to differentiate their dispatch capability while a simple two-spool design results in lower overall maintenance costs. Universal and modular packaging gives the LM6000 a smaller footprint and allows for faster installation and commissioning.
The new LM6000VELOX package aims to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000 turbines by up to 40%, saving up to 4,000 labor hours. This translates to an expected 90 days I&C schedule. Thanks to multiple enhanced modularity features, the LM6000VELOX package is ushering in a new era of speed in the energy industry.
GE Vernova's LM6000VELOX package is available in both simple and combined cycle configurations, as either a DLE or SAC (water injected) combustor configuration, and for both 50 and 60 Hertz segments.
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 means you can quickly switch between fuels to save money, with no interruption in power. The LM6000 is 100% hydrogen capable.
Aeros like our LM6000 are built for high cycling capability, which allows customers to get up and running—and on the grid—quickly. With around five minutes to ramp up from start-up to full power, typical medium-speed reciprocating engines have a ramp rate of about 5 MW/min, but aeroderivative gas turbines have a nominal ramp rate of around 50 MW/min, providing a much faster frequency control response for better grid support.
Our SPRINT* solution boosts engine performance using a spray intercooling design that increases the mass flow by cooling the air during the compression process. The system is based on an atomized water spray injected through spray nozzles. The water flow rate is metered, using the appropriate engine control schedules. SPRINT injection points are based on turbine inlet temperature and automatically controlled.
The LM6000 offers 99%+ start and operational reliability and 98% availability. Its 5-minute fast start allows operators to differentiate their dispatch capability, and its dual-fuel capabilities provides fuel flexibility and helps customers meet emissions limits.
Specifications shown are for 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

Today’s energy transition is creating challenges for all power producers, from local municipalities and Co-ops to utilities of all sizes. Operators need to plan carefully to ensure grid reliability and faster, cheaper, cleaner power for their end users.
As a plant operator, you’re always looking for ways to improve your site, and know that higher efficiency leads to lower costs. But what can you do to achieve this? Aeroderivative gas turbines offer many advantages over a reciprocal engine such as reliability and savings instead of maintenance and downtime.
