Gas turbine 7F.05

for power generationmulti-stage

The demands of today’s power generation industry are many: low cost of electricity, dispatch volatility, along with high efficiency, reliability, and asset availability. With approximately 950 installed units producing ~175GW of power in 11 countries, GE’s 7F.04 and 7F.05 gas turbines are proven performers in all these areas. GE is proud to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the 7F gas turbine. The 7F technology is core to GE Gas Power's portfolio of products and services. Its installed base of approximately 950 units is a testament to the engine’s success and customers’ trust to partner with GE to achieve high performance and operational reliability. A simple-cycle 7F.05 gas turbine can reliably produce 200 MW within 10 minutes, and can reach full load in under 11 minutes. A 7F.05 can also balance renewables by load-following at 40 MW/min ramp rates while maintaining emissions compliance. The 7F.05’s improved maintenance practices, combined with features like field removal compressor airfoils means it can reduce replacement time, downtime, and costs. GE’s F-class gas turbines were among the first to achieve 50 million operating hours, 1 million starts, single-digit NOx emissions, a firing temperature greater than 2,400˚F, and operation with Arabian Super Light (ASL) as a fuel. Other 7F turbine features and benefits • 3D aerodynamic hot gas path for enhanced performance • 18-stage enhanced compressor for improved performance, maintainability, and operability (14-stage for the 7F.05 gas turbine) • Low fuel pressure requirements that reduce need for on-site fuel compressor
