LM2500XPRESS is a trademark of General Electric Company

LM6000

Flexible and modular package design

<90 days I&C schedule (38% schedule improvement / 4000+ manpower hours reduction)
Substantial savings for EPCs
(when GTG is critical path)

Aero grid stability characteristics

Spinning reserve with >20MW/min ramp rate to full load
Faster frequency response
Ability to ride through frequency and voltage variations
Low voltage ride through capability
High system inertia
Synchronous condensing capability for system support

GRID FIRMING (also known as capacity firming) is the addition of other energy resources to balance the intermittency of renewable ones in order to provide a secure and stable power within the desired dispatchable duration.

Synchronous condensing complements the influx of renewables

Provides reactive power for both high and low grid voltage
Absorbs VARS in small increments, correcting lagging/leading power factors
Provides power factor/voltage support in urban centers and industrial areas, provides stability and ensures increased power transmission
Generates additional revenue in deregulated markets
Can provide qualification for spinning reserve requirements or credits

Aero experience

Several units already running in synchronous condensing mode

LM6000 package

PC & PF turbines: Clutch skid placed between turbine and generator skids
PF+ turbine: Clutch integrated into gearbox skid

LM2500 / TM2500

Free spinning power turbine allows any unit to operate as clutchless synchronous condenser
