Upgrade your generators for flexible operations

Replacing your older generator components with the latest technology

GE’s replacement solutions include engineered replacement configuration for existing other OEM equipment. Replacement solutions include enhanced technical features that were already used and proven on GE equipment. They can fix aging issues or early deterioration of young generator.

You may face a variety of challenges: Your generator is configured for base load but you start operating double shifting; or your generator starts aging and you want to maintain high availability; or you want to operate beyond the typical design life of 40 years (and with a possible uprate), then a replacement solution becomes an option. 

Replacement solutions might be the right solution for enhancing your generator's reliability, availability, and output. Replacement components can be configured with latest upgrades for lifetime extension, performance improvement, and flexible operation.

Your older generator components can also be refurbished, repaired, and kept on hand as a spare or used on another generator.
