The Power of Yes in action

YES. Our service workshop in Rugby worked closely with a leader in nuclear power generation in #Europe to identify and repair a water leak in the winding cooling system. Our teams also designed and manufactured a new pipe and performed a partial rewind. This is #ThePowerOfYes

YES. LEAG selected our team to perform maintenance for the next 5 years on 16 Siemens boiler feed pumps and outage management at the Jänschwalde Power Station, one of the largest plants in Germany. The site generates enough electricity to power 5.7 million households, and plays a vital role with grid stability in areas including Cottbus, Peitz and Lausitz in the country’s eastern province, also supported by fluctuating renewable energy sources. This is #ThePowerOfYes

YES. In Morocco, our team just delivered a major overhaul of a steam turbine and generator for IMACID at their Jorf Lasfar site. The GE Power team provided parts, repairs, services and technical support to return the unit to service in less than one month. This is #ThePowerofYes

YES. In Pakistan we just retrofitted two 323MW other OEM steam turbines at a thermal power plant of HUBCO that resulted in over 4% heat rate improvement. What’s more, our team delivered this major retrofit 4 days ahead of schedule. This is #ThePowerofYes

YES. Our team is currently performing a steam turbine retrofit for a coal plant in Croatia. Improving the heat rate will boost plant efficiency by 3.6% and reduce coal consumption by more than 22,000 tons annually.

+3.5% efficiency

YES. Recently, our team in India identified and solved a leakage issue on a Beijing Bezhong generator. In less than two weeks, a repair plan was designed with the customer, bar corrections implemented, and the plant was back up and running.

YES. One recent modernization project implemented during a planned outage has delivered significant operational improvements for our customer⁠—increasing component availability by 28 percent, extending the facility's operating life by an additional 15 years and increasing output by more than 20 percent.

+28% availability

YES. We have a century of experience in the ammonia industry sector. Recently, our team delivered a steam turbine upgrade for one of the world’s largest ammonia producers and supplied spare turbine parts for compressor trains. The results? The facility reduced its operational costs by doubling the length of time between maintenance intervals.

60% fewer emissions

YES. Our team in South Africa was called in to help following the discovery of a broken plate resting on the outlets of the turbine of a coal power plant. Within 12 days, the onsite project team removed the broken plate, repaired the turbine and returned the unit back to full service, a week ahead of the targeted dates.

Back online in 12 days

YES. The RDK8 steam power plant in Karlsruhe, Germany, has achieved a 47.5% net thermal efficiency while producing 919 MW of electricity. Today, RDK8 is the world’s most efficient coal-fired steam power plant thanks to GE’s ultra-supercritical boiler and steam turbine generator.

YES. The Saudi's state-owned Saline Water Conversion Corporation decided to build the third phase of Yanbu 3 with both power generation and seawater desalination in mind. The plant will be one of the country’s first supercritical power plants to run on heavy fuel oil. We provided the core GE technology, including boiler, steam turbine and generator and expertise in plant EPC. The plant will deliver 2.7GW and 550,000 m3 of desalinated water per day

2.7 GW

YES. GE will supply the two conventional power islands for Hinkley Point C, UK, which includes the Arabelle steam turbine, generator, and other critical equipment. Already the biggest steam turbine in operation in China, HPC’s Arabelle turbines will be the largest ever built—longer than an Airbus 380—and capable of producing 1,770 MW each.

1,770 MW in 1 shaft line

YES. OPG appointed GE as the project leader for the refurbishment of the steam turbines, generators and automation & controls for the 4 Darlington units. We were selected thanks to our extensive expertise in nuclear energy, with 50% of the world nuclear steam turbines and more than 120 service agreements. This project will extend the plant’s life by 30 years.

30 years in life extension

YES. In just six months GE designed, manufactured and replaced a 40-year-old Stator Core for the Kriel power plant in South Africa. This was a first-of-its-kind, complex modification project in the region that brought back UNIT 2 into full service. The generator was originally built in 1971 by Brown Boveri Company,one of many legacy brands we support in our services business.
