TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine

Boosting power delivery in Algeria with TM2500 aeroderivative turbines

As Algeria works toward more renewable energy by 2035, dozens of highly mobile GE TM2500 gas aeroderivative turbines are helping supply electrical power to the Sahara Desert region. 

"The TM2500 provides a baseload bridge to permanent power installations or for generating backup power in the wake of natural disasters, or in the case of plant shutdowns, grid instability, or isolated locations.The TM2500 provides a baseload bridge to permanent power installations or for generating backup power in the wake of natural disasters, or in the case of plant shutdowns, grid instability, or isolated locations."

Reserve power plant completed in record time for Switzerland

"The scope and nature of this project are extraordinary: GE built not just the power plant but also supporting infrastructure and orchestrating the work of more than 200 people. On the peak in January, we had approximately 500 people working on this project, that was executed safely and in record time."

GE’s TM2500 accelerates diesel-to-gas transition in Yemen

PetroMasila needed a fast solution to bring much-needed power to Yemen, a country where the distribution and transmission system was severely damaged in an 8-year-long military conflict.

"Ending routine flaring at our oil production site is vital, both to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to conserve the gas for the generation of electricity in communities which rely on less-sustainable fuels, like diesel, for their energy needs."

TM2500 and Channel Island Power Station: supporting hydrogen

"Territory Generation sought technology to modernize our current fleet that struggles to meet changing grid demands and low power system loads. We plan for the TM2500 to be the first of multiple units to be deployed over the next five years as existing units near their end of life. At this stage, the TM2500 generator’s operational flexibility makes it the best fit to firm up the growing renewables base in the Northern Territory."

Inventive NOx scrubbing reduces emissions for California

After recent wildfires and drought conditions, California remains alert and prepared for energy emergencies. Anticipating a supply shortage if hydropower runs dry, the state’s Department of Water Resources (DWR) acted as procurement agent, commissioning four 30-MW GE TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbines. Governor Newsom declared safeguarding the grid as imperative, but so was keeping it deeply green, as California sees massive success in meeting its own incredibly strict emissions rules. Honoring this with ingenuity, GE built in selective catalytic reduction scrubbers (SCRs) to the turbines for a markedly low NOX emission rating of 2.5 PPM (opposed to the average of 15). To date, this tech innovation with SCRs is the first of its kind.

Providing cheaper, cleaner, and faster power in paradise

"The highest peak of energy consumption during summer in New Providence is 250 MW and in winter goes down to 160-170 MW. Having an additional of up to 34 MW is significant for our operation and will allow us to deliver a better service to our customers and to the millions of tourists who visit us every year. On top of that, this kind of technology could enable us to respond more quickly to natural disasters like Hurricane Dorian."
