    Wherever they operate worldwide, utilities and independent power producers have to cope with rapid

    changes - tougher emissions legislation and fierce competition not least among them.At the same time they need to reduce production costs yet major power interruptions dramatically

    illustrate the danger of cutting cost at the expense of reliability. To increase long-term profits, even

    at a time of volatile fuel and electricity prices, it is vital to continue to raise efficiency and productivity.

    Alstoms GT13E2 gas turbine offers the highest engine efficiency of conventional class gasturbines yet has long inspection intervals. With millions of fired hours of operation to

    its credit, the GT13E2 is the perfect core of a power plant, designed to produce reliable,competitively priced electricity.

    The GT13E2 offers superior flexibility through two operating modes one maximises performance,the other maximises operating time between inspection intervals. In addition, the engine can actively

    support grid frequency with high response and no extra lifetime factors.

    The GT13E2, whose gas turbine technology has earned its stripes over the years, is designedfor a wide range of applications. It can operate as a stand-alone turbine in a new or existing

    power plant design or as part of a turnkey power plant. Applications cover electrical power

    generation in base load, intermediate or peak duty. It can be used in industrial applications

    such as aluminium smelters or desalination plants. With its modularised and pre-tested

    auxiliaries, the GT13E2 can be brought on-line quickly to support phased plant construction.

    Right technology, right products

    Alstoms gas turbines stand out for their high cost efficiency,

    availability and flexibility.

    The range covers a wide spectrum of products, including machines

    for both the 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets. They can operate either in

    simple cycle or combined cycle and are fuelled by natural gas,

    medium or low calorific gases or light oil; with on-line fuel switch

    over capability eliminating dependency on any one fuel.

    Unmatched efficiencyThe GT13E2 has the highest open-cycle efficiency of conventional class gasturbines close to 37% (ISO) with a high exhaust energy level. This offers

    significant fuel cost savings over competing technologies for a wide variety

    of applications. It is achieved by carefully optimizing existing proven

    technology without the need for expensive and high-maintenance

    technologies used in some advanced gas turbines. The benefit of lower

    operating cost is, therefore, not compromised by higher maintenance costs

    or reduced availability.

    Operational flexibilityThe GT13E2 can operate in either a performance optimised mode or a lifetimeoptimised mode without having to change hardware. Both respond to

    increasingly volatile markets by allowing the operator to select, on-line, the best

    operating mode to maximise profit. Operational flexibility also includes the

    ability to handle wide fluctuations in gas composition. In addition, the engine

    can operate on diesel oil (with or without water injection for NOx control), with

    an on-line switch-over between gas and oil even at full load.

    Low maintenance cost/longer inspection intervalsThe GT13E2 has a number of family assets. Firstly, the maintenance-free welded

    rotor eliminates the need for major overhauls. Secondly, the fully annularcombustor does not require any combustor inspections. With the GT13E2, youcan achieve maintenance intervals of 36,000 Equivalent Operating Hours (EOH)

    between hot gas path inspections. This makes the GT13E2 the ultimate choicefor operating regimes with a higher sensitivity to O&M costs and availability.

    Continuous evolutionThe GT13E2 continues to be at the cutting edge thanks to constant technologyevolution. These incremental improvements use the engineering tools validated

    at the Alstom Test Power Plant and confirmed with test campaigns in the field.

    Two retrofittable upgrades on the GT13E2 are a prime illustration improved

    turbine blading with the flexible operating concept and a compressor upgrade.

    Designed for dependable,low cost operation

    The welded rotor design eliminates maintenance work such

    as restacking and disk replacement or factory rotor overhaul

    and thus eliminates the need for a so called major overhaul

    of the GT.

    Low-stage loaded compressorThe 21-stage compressor with its low stage loading yields

    a high surge margin and high reliability.

    Variable inlet guide vanes control airflow efficiently, increasing

    part load efficiency and starting reliability.

    Annular combustorA fully annular combustion chamber distributes the

    circumferential temperature evenly while avoiding problem

    zones such as cross-firing tubes or transition pieces. In

    addition the annular combustion systems of Alstom do not

    need a so called "combustor inspection" as for can-annular

    systems which reduces the amount of maintenance leading to

    higher availability.

    Every component of the GT13E2 is the result oftime-tested design principles, thorough validation andmanufacturing processes conforming to the highest standards.

    Maintenance-free welded rotorAlstoms welded rotor was first introduced in 1929 for steam

    turbines and has been operating successfully in both Alstom

    gas and steam turbines. The rotor is welded from forged discs

    that ensure high rotor stiffness with two-bearing support.

    Dry low NOx EV burnerEV (EnVironmental) burner technology, operating successfully

    for several millions of hours throughout the Alstom gas turbine

    fleet, gives long burner life, no maintenance between hot gas

    path inspection and low emissions.

    The EV burner gives the benefit of dry low NOx combustion

    for operation with different natural gases, with the option to

    run with liquid fuel as an alternative.

    TurbineAdvanced aerodynamics and multi-convective cooling schemes

    contribute significantly to the GT13E2s outstanding efficiency.

    The design of the first turbine stage, combined with thermal

    barrier coating (TBC) and conservative firing temperatures,

    allows extended inspection intervals of up to 36,000 EOH.

    All Inconel 738 conventional cast turbine airfoils and heat

    shields ensure long parts life and allow for full, cost-effective

    refurbishment.

    Axial exhaust systemThe straight-line arrangement of gas turbine and heat recovery

    steam generator (HRSG) facilitates compact plant layouts.

    The elimination of the turning elbow reduces back-pressure

    and turbulence at the HRSG inlet. This improves unit

    performance in simple and combined cycle mode.

    Flexibility and efficiency

    The longer and more flexible inspection intervals thatthe GT13E2 offers, linked to higher efficiency when required,provide the optimal hedging against fuel price uncertainty.

    Extended inspection

    intervalsOne of the key benefits of the GT13E2is the ability to operate with extended

    inspection intervals for low fuel cost

    applications or in schemes where fuel

    is provided by the power off-taker

    (Tolling or Energy Conversion

    schemes). You get this benefit with

    only a marginal reduction in efficiency

    and output. The GT13E2s optimisedoperation mode allows for 36,000

    equivalent operating hours between

    Hot Gas Path inspections.

    Efficiency

    The GT13E2 has the highest efficiencyof conventional class gas turbines insimple cycle. It offers unrivalled

    performance in markets where fuel

    prices are high or fluctuate regularly.

    The combination of high power output

    and high conventional class availability

    in both simple and combined cycle are

    compelling advantages. The

    performance optimised operation mode

    also offers the lowest Cost of Electricity

    (CoE) when fuel prices are high.

    The importanceof flexibilityWhere demand is seasonal or fuel prices

    are volatile, the ability to switch between

    operation modes on-line provides an

    added operational advantage. The

    GT13E2 has been designed to deliverthe high operational flexibility that allows

    a plant owner to maximise profits with

    the same hardware.

    Meeting customer requirements

    Our long experience working with customers andour understanding of different markets across the globeenable us to adapt to a variety of customer needs.

    Low fuel prices

    When fuel prices are low, O&M costshave a significant impact on the total

    Cost of Electricity (CoE). To keep O&M

    costs down, as plant owner you may

    decide to run the plant with longer

    inspection intervals. Using this operation

    mode of the GT13E2, maintenancecosts can be contained since the EOH

    Hot Gas Path inspection intervals run

    to 36,000 equivalent operating hours.Furthermore, at around 0.2%, the

    reduction in simple-cycle efficiency is

    negligible. The contributions of O&M,

    fuel and capital costs to the total Cost

    of Electricity, and the preferable

    configuration, are shown in the figure

    below.

    High fuel and/or

    electricity pricesWhen fuel prices are high, the fuelportion of CoE becomes the dominant

    cost factor. Here, efficiency has a huge

    leverage effect. You cannot influence

    the fuel prices, but you can strive to get

    maximum power from the fuel to partly

    compensate.

    The performance optimised operation

    mode of the GT13E2 assuresmaximum power - the highest power

    output in its class, with the addedbenefit of high efficiency, both in simple

    cycle and combined cycle, at high

    availability and reliability levels.

    In times of peak demand, when

    electricity prices are high, switching to

    the performance optimised operation

    mode allows you to maximise

    revenues. Alstom also offers integrated

    inlet cooling and power increase

    options that give even more operational

    flexibility for following a variableelectricity demand.

    A key aspect is integration,because it can substantially enhance

    flexibility and performance. As a gasturbine plant EPC contractor, this would

    include the following requirements:

    T The gas turbine should be designed

    for simple and cost effective

    integration into the overall plant.

    T In-depth, comprehensive user

    information should be readily available.

    T Application consulting needs to be

    available when required.

    As a plant owner/operator, you would add

    the following requirements to the list:

    T Operational flexibility to support plant

    dispatch requirements such as quick

    start-up, fuel flexibility, black start,

    power augmentation, air inlet cooling.

    T Operational stability to accommodate

    sudden load changes, active grid

    frequency support, black grid

    restoration, partial or global load

    rejection.T An efficient Operation and

    Maintenance regime.

    October 2003, nearly four months

    ahead of schedule.

    Kuala Langat / MALAYSIA1xKA13E2-3, 670 MW

    Fuel: natural gas/oil No. 2

    This cogeneration plant was the first of

    several independent power projects

    with the GT13E2 in Malaysia. Ownedby Genting Sanyen Power, the 667 MW

    combined-cycle plant was built on a

    fast track, completed only 24 months

    after contract signing two months

    ahead of schedule. The first turbine

    was installed in simple cycle mode in

    November 1994 and all three were

    being operated by March 1995. With

    the completion of the steam cycle, the

    plant generated 667 MW and supplied

    57 tons/hour of process steam to theadjacent paper mill. Power output has

    been increased in steps since 2002 by

    upgrading the gas turbines to the latest

    version. In early 2007, all gas turbines

    were upgraded to a flexible operating

    mode that allows choosing on-line

    between higher output and extended

    lifetime.

    Ras Abu Fontas B & B1 /QATAR8xGT13E2, total 1000 MW

    Fuel: natural gas

    Ras Abu Fontas B, in commercial

    operation since 1995, is the largest and

    most important power and water

    production plant in Qatar. The power

    plant is based on five gas turbines type

    GT13E2, operating in simple cycle witha nominal capacity of 625 MW of

    power at 48C ambient temperature.

    The desalination plant is designed for

    a water production of 150,000 m3 per

    day. To meet the rapidly growing power

    demand, the power plant capacity has

    been augmented by 377 MW with the

    completion in 2002 of the expansion

    Ras Abu Fontas B1, with three additional

    gas turbines of same GT13E2 type.

    All eight gas turbines are installed in oneair-conditioned gas turbine building.

    Alba / BAHRAINPower station 3 & 42xKA13D-3, 723MW/2xKA13E2-2, 807MW

    Fuel: natural gas/oil No.2 / natural gas

    With an installed production capacity

    of more than 800,000 tonnes per year,

    Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) is currentlyone of the largest modern aluminium

    smelters in the world.

    The main power system supplying

    the aluminium pot lines is run

    independently from the national grid

    system, thus puting some unusual

    electrical system control requirements

    on the captive power system. High gas

    turbine and combined cycle flexibility

    and continuous reliability are a must.

    3/4 of Alba installed power generation

    capacity is supplied by Power Stations 3

    & 4 installed by Alstom. The GT13D gasturbines of Power Station 3 have been

    continuously improved and upgraded,

    resulting in increased performance,

    extended inspection intervals, increased

    expected lifetime and improved overall

    availability. The NOx emissions have also

    been considerably reduced.

    The GT13E2s of Power Station 4 operatein the lifetime optimised mode and are

    able to cope with the possibility of large

    power surges.

    The gas turbines GT13D and GT13E2have demonstrated their excellentcapabilities in powering an industrial

    plant with stringent reliability and

    flexibility requirements.

    Pelican Point / AUSTRALIA1xKA13E2-2, 480 MW

    Fuel: natural gas

    In 1998, the government of South

    Australia knew it would need to act

    quickly if it was to prevent power

    shortages. It decided to call on the

    private sector; the result was Pelican

    Point, a 500 MW combined-cycle

    power project developed on a fast

    track basis by National Power. The

    plant increased South Australias

    generating capacity by 20 per cent.

    Alstom was awarded the turnkey

    project in 1999 by National Power

    South Australia Investments Ltd, asubsidiary of National Power plc. The

    plant is equipped with two GT13E2

    gas turbines and has been operational

    since September 2000. The turbines

    are equipped with advanced high-

    efficiency, low-emission burner

    technology to help meet the strict

    environmental requirements at the

    site. Alstom also supplied the overall

    power plant control system, plant

    engineering, and associatedinstallation and commissioning.

    Lumut Extension /MALAYSIA1xKA13E2-3, 650 MW

    Fuel: natural gas/oil No. 2

    The Lumut IPP project is playing an

    important role in meeting Malaysias

    increasing power demand. When

    Alstom won the turnkey contract to

    supply another block to the GT13E2based 1,400 MW combined-cycle

    power plant Lumut in Malaysia, it

    made the plant the largest independent

    (IPP) CCPP in Southeast Asia.

    After the 1997 crisis, the government

    wanted a new peaking plant to be in

    operation by the end of 2001. With an

    existing plant at Lumut and therefore

    an available infrastructure, it decided to

    look at expanding the site to increasethe capacity of the plant. In order to be

    operational before the projected

    Lumut extension,

    shortage, the new Lumut Block 3

    would have to be given fast track

    status, and in order to have power

    available to meet the expected

    demand, the project developers

    invested in a bypass stack. This allowed

    open-cycle operations so that 431 MW

    would be available while work was

    being done to convert the plant to

    combined cycle.

    The Lumut power plant is located in

    the state of Perak, Malaysia. The

    customer is GB3 Sdn Bhd, a fully

    owned subsidiary of Malakoff Berhad.

    Malakoff is the largest independent

    power producer in Malaysia with a total

    power generating capacity of over

    2,000 MW. Alstom was responsible

    for the supply of 3x165 MW GT13E2gas turbines, a steam turbine, three

    HRSGs, electrical generators, the entire

    auxiliary system, control system andinterconnection facility. Alstom was

    also responsible for the supervision of

    Alstom Power R&D

    We aim for the best utilisation of the Customers

    investment, the earths materials and the fuel used, throughefficiency, availability and cost reduction. The increased

    environmental concern means that we place a focus on

    minimising CO2 emissions through the development of

    mitigation and renewable technologies for application in

    new and retrofit installations.

    The engineering and R&D workforce totals 5,500 people,

    of which 4,000 are in engineering and 1,500 in R&D in

    22 R&D centres. There are 13 laboratories with dedicated

    infrastructure, equipment and testing facilitities.

    Alstom Power R&D policy takes a global approach which has

    several benefits. First, it puts the work where the expertise is

    located. Secondly, it helps to nurture close contacts with

    universities and design institutes that can complement our in-

    house efforts. Thirdly, it enables us to stay in touch with

    global customers' expectations, anticipate their needs and

    lead the technology trends.

    Alstom Power works with more than 30 universities worldwide.

    We establish close, long-term links with institutions and

    professors who are experts in fields which are important to

    CO2 capture and oxy-firing.

    Research in actionIn addition to our own R&D efforts to develop new emission

    control technologies and improve existing techniques, we are

    also involved in a number of public projects and partnerships,notably in the field of CO2 capture and storage. The CASTOR

    project (founded by the European Union) is studying

    procedures for post-combustion separation that lower the cost

    of CO2 capture and develop an understanding of the long

    term storage mechanism. Within the ENCAP programme

    (founded by the European Union), research is under way to

    develop new pre-combustion and post-combustion CO2capture technologies. The Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power

    Plants (ZEP) technology platform launched by the European

    Commission aims to develop and deploy new competitive

    options for zero emission fossil fuel power plants.
