    Utilities and independent power producers around the world face unprecedented change in theirindustry – deregulation and the resulting intensified competition, stringent emissions legislationand environmental compliance. The challenge is to meet these requirements and still raiseefficiency and productivity to maximise profits.

    The feasibility of a power generation project depends not only on the use of cost-effective andreliable mainstream equipment, but also on finding that unique “fit,” which often calls for smaller,highly customisable gas turbines, plus the extensive support a leading equipment manufacturersuch as Alstom Power can offer.

    The GT11N2, a market-oriented solutionAlstom developed the GT11N2 to satisfy a market need for a 60 Hz/50 Hz, 115 MW unit powered

    by a wide range of fuels. With this high operational flexibility and its rugged design, the GT11N2is suited to a variety of applications, ranging from simple-cycle operation, through industrialco-generation applications, to combined-cycle power generation.

    The GT11N2 comes with three types of combustor. The EV (environmental burner) dry low NOxcombustor is suitable for standard natural gas fuels. The LBTU combustor can cope with fuels suchas blast furnace gases with a low heating value (LHV) as low as 2,200 kJ/kg. Finally, the SingleBurner (SB) combustor can burn diesel oil or high hydrogen synthetic fuels with a hydrogencontent of well in excess of 50%.

     A solution with a proven track recordSince its introduction in 1989, the heavy-duty GT11N series has established itself as one of themost reliable gas turbines in its class. Today, the GT11N2 fleet boasts 60 units worldwide inoperation in various industrial co-generations, simple or combined-cycle applications. The fleet has

    a proven record of high reliability and availability with more than one million fired hours in ambientconditions from - 40°C to + 50°C.

    Right technology, right products

    Alstom’s 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 switchover capability eliminating dependency on any one fuel.

    3/16

    Unique fuel flexibilityThree different combustion systems enable the GT11N2 turbine to be adapted toindividual fuel needs. The LBTU combustor operates on low-calorific gases such

    as blast furnace gas without the need for blending higher calorific gases. The EV

    combustor offers dry low NOx (DLN) combustion. The Single Burner (SB)

    combustor increases power output, even with standard fuels.

    Maximum operational flexibility The GT11N2’s high operational flexibility is the result of excellent part loadefficiency and emissions, fuel flexibility, quick reaction to changing load

    demands, and customisation to power plant operations.

    High reliability/availability The GT11N2 fulfils the highest availability and reliability benchmark criteria,with experience from over 1.5 million fired hours. For simple-cycle operations,

    the GT11N2 has achieved an average of 99% start reliability in peaker unitsand over 99% reliability in continuous operating units.

    Excellent mxaintainability Exceptional accessibility and a simplified arrangement ensure that maintenance

    of the GT11N2 is fast and smooth. The combustor only requires visualinspections between hot gas path inspections. The welded rotor technology

    eliminates the need for major overhauls (where the rotor needs to be returned

    to the factory for refurbishment).

    Low environmental emissionsThe EV burner technology enables Alstom gas turbines to meet the most

    stringent environmental requirements. The GT11N2 achieves a dry low NOx

    emission level of 25 ppm or less when operating at base load with naturalgas, and 42 ppm with oil (wet). The LBTU combustor has a record of 

    continuous single-digit NOx emissions.

    Unique fuel flexibilityOur knowledge of fuel usage and extensive operating experience gained in special fuel applicationsover the past 50 years, allow Alstom to offer gas turbines designed to operate on various fuels.

    In addition to the standard gas turbine

    fuels, natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil, the

    GT11N2 can burn special fuels, such

    as low-calorific gases from steel mills orwaste gases from chemical processes.

    The reason for this unique fuel flexibility

    lies in the design of the GT11N2 withits top-mounted silo combustor. This

    external combustor design allows

    easy adaptation of the GT11N2 to aspecific fuel. Three different combustors

    with different burner configurations are

    available, depending on the specific

    plant requirements.

    EV CombustorThis dry low-NOx combustor uses

    Alstom’s proven EV (Environmental)

    burners for low emissions. The dual-fuel EV burner is designed for gaseous,

    as well as liquid fuels and has been

    successfully operated for millions of 

    fired hours in all Alstom Power gas

    turbines. The EV combustor is well-

    suited to simple and combined-cycle

    operation, where low emissions and

    high efficiencies are important.

    SB CombustorThe Single Burner (SB) combustor with

    its single fuel nozzle and large combustion

    chamber is extremely well-suited tosimple-cycle peaking applications, where

    large water amounts can be safely injected

    into the combustor. This increases power

    output of the gas turbine by up to 15%

    above base load, while keeping NOx

    emissions at 25 ppm for gas operation

    and 42 ppm for No. 2 fuel oil operation.

    LBTU CombustorThe GT11N2 is the biggest gas turbineworldwide capable of base load

    operation exclusively burning low-

    calorific gases without blending with

    higher calorific gases. Safe continuous

    operation has been demonstrated for

    blast furnace gases with heating values

    as low as 2,200 kJ/kg (950 Btu/lb.),

    while achieving single digit NOx

    emissions. Its rugged design makes the

    LBTU combustor the ideal fit for

    demanding industrial operation

    conditions while burning waste gasesfrom steel mills or chemical processes.

    Key design featuresThe GT11N2 is a rugged, compact gas turbine based on Alstom Power’s proven technologythat was specially developed for demanding service environments. It is specifically designedfor ease of maintenance, easy visual inspections and short hot gas path inspections.

    Solid welded rotorAlstom’s maintenance-free gas turbine rotor is a prime

    example of the company’s insistence on the highest qualitystandards. Its design – using forged discs welded together –

    used in all Alstom gas and steam turbines, has not had a single

    weld or disc failure in over 70 years of operation. This single-

    element design ensures high rotor stiffness, which is at the root

    of the machine’s high reliability and trouble-free operation.

    Since the rotor is welded, it has no through-bolts and no risk

    of misalignment. Furthermore, re-stacking is not applicable so

    the rotor never goes back to the factory for major overhauls.

    Reblading and re-balancing are done on-site. In short, a

    maintenance-free rotor.

    CompressorThe 14-stage compressor with a pressure ratio of 16:1

    benefits from a high combined-cycle part-load efficiency

    based on compressor turn-down capability. The compressor

    variable guide vanes (VGVs) provide a high compressor flow

    turn-down capability, allowing process steam conditions to be

    maintained from 100% gas turbine output all the way to 40%

    gas turbine output.

    CombustorThe single, top-mounted, silo combustor allows for easy

    access from the top of the engine for direct visual inspectionof the combustor and hot gas path, as well as the first row

    of turbine vanes and blades.

    Three combustor types are available.

    The EV (Environmental burner) dry low NOx combustor is

    suitable for standard natural gas fuels, whereas the LBTU

    combustor for low calorific value fuels can cope with fuels

    such as blast furnace gases with a heating value (LHV) as

    low as 2,200 kJ/kg. The Single Burner (SB) combustor is

    designed for high output peaking with water or steam

    injection.

    TurbineThe four-stage turbine is made of materials that are easy to

    recondition. The turbine blade losses are minimised thanks

    to 3-D designed and air-cooled blades and vanes for the first

    two stages. Hence the turbine’s high efficiency.

    Low-calorific gas challenge

    In the last 50 years, Alstom has built asignificant number of gas turbines

    designed for applications in steel mills

    using low-calorific fuels. The operating

    experience of these machines exceeds

    two million hours. One of these

    turbines, installed in 1959 at the

    Donawitz plant in Austria, has today

    notched up over a quarter of a million

    operating hours. Only minor

    modifications were needed to adapt an

    existing LBTU diffusion burner for this

    application. Its design is based on that

    of similar burners installed in more than

    20 units operating on blast furnace gas.

    The two GT11N2 units incommercial operation at Bao Shan,

    China, and Mizushima, Japan, have

    now accumulated nearly 150,000

    fired hours. Operations of these two

    power plants have demonstrated

    excellent results, confirming the

    forecast performance and single-digit

    emission levels. With thermal

    efficiencies of over 45%, such plants

    are a very attractive solution for

    industrial users burning waste gases.

    The need for reliable, efficient and environmentally friendlysolutions has driven many industrial users to search forbetter ways to burn waste gases from industrial plants inconventional thermal power plants.

    Greater flexibility in heat and power

    The Alstom power plant conceptAlstom Power has introduced a range of pre-engineered,

    modularised combined-cycle power plants, based on

    customer requirements and configured for optimal

    performance and short installation time. Thanks to this

    concept, Alstom can deliver a turnkey power plant at low risk 

    and reduced overall costs. The modules can be adapted to

    specific site conditions and individual customer requirements.

    This concept reduces the cost of electricity production as a

    result of:

    T Pre-engineered solutions that shorten the time from

    contract to grid-to-power;

    T Higher reliability and availability;

    T Full turnkey power plant capability;

    T Easy multiplication of blocks;

    T Simple and robust design with well-defined quality

    standards;

    T Substantial modularisation and pre-assembly;T Flexible location of the administration building and

    Balance of Plant (BOP) systems.

    The KA 11N2-2 combined-cyclepower plantThe KA11N2-2 power plant concept is a truly customised

    package designed to provide operational flexibility and reduce

    the time from order to reliable commercial operation. This

    makes the KA11N2-2 the ideal choice for customers with a

    need for a fast increase in electricity and heat.

    T Modular multi-shaft arrangement in a ”2 on 1”

    configuration;

    T Compact floor-mounted arrangement;

    T Special options available for high earthquake loads and

    high-altitude sites;

    T Phased construction option.

    KA 11N2-2 for cogenerationThe profitability of a multi-block power plant can often be

    significantly enhanced by adding another dimension: heat to

    produce HP (high pressure) steam at a reasonable cost and,

    possibly, additional district heating can easily compensate for

    lower base load plant efficiencies. A single KA11N2-2 block can generate over 430 tons/hr of HP steam.

    GT11N2 for repoweringThe compact GT11N2/KA11N2-2 is extremely suitable forrepowering applications. Using the identical gas turbine

    island of the KA11N2-2 CCPP makes it easy to adapt toexisting steam turbines. Significant cost reductions are

    achieved with two or more GT11N2’s matching one steamturbine.

    GT11N2 for simple-cycle peakerThe identical KA11N2-2 compact gas turbine island is alsousable for open cycle peaking needs. High starting reliability,

    high maximum power output for a peaking unit, short start-up time, and low initial costs make the GT11N2 an excellentpeaking unit. Several power-increase options are available.

    Termobarranquilla /COLOMBIA

    This 750 MW natural gas-fired powerstation, located near Barranquilla on

    Columbia’s Atlantic coast, is one of the

    largest IPP projects in Latin America. The

    power plant consists of two power

    blocks: one 450 MW block based on

    three GT11N2, and one steam turbineand one 300 MW blocks based on two

    GT11N2 and a second steam turbine.The gas turbines are equipped with EV

    burners for low NOx emissions without

    water or steam injection. This power

    plant is one of the cleanest in South

    America.

    The power plant has started to supply

    electricity to the local grid at the

    beginning of 1996. The first two units are

    currently the leaders of the GT11N2 fleet,with more than 70,000 fired hours each.

    08

    The GT11N2 in action

    Bao Shan / CHINABao Steel Corporation of China installed

    a GT11N2 unit for operation on LBTUblast furnace gas, a by-product of

    the steel-making process. Built in

    co-operation with Kawasaki Heavy

    Industries, this combined-cycle facility

    aligns gas turbine, gas compressor, steam

    turbine and turbogenerators on a single

    shaft. The gas turbine went in operation

    in the first quarter of 1997 and has

    accumulated nearly 60,000 fired hours to

    date. The plant is designed to provide up

    to 150 MW of electrical power and up to

    180 tons/hr of steam to the steel mill,

    while burning blast furnace gas with a

    heating value of 2,200 kJ/kg. The

    GT11N2 gas turbine with the LBTUcombustor can burn this gas at very low

    emissions.

    Burgin / USAThe Burgin power plant, consisting of 

    five GT11N2 units, is located in MercerCounty, Kentucky, on a 35-acre plot

    adjacent to an existing three-unit steam

    generating station. The purpose of the

    plant is to provide peaking power in the

    summer and winter seasons. The power

    plant has been designed as an unmanned

    facility with minimal connections to the

    existing steam units – service water for

    plant auxiliaries, de-mineralised water for

    NOx control, and a data highway for

    remote control of the peaking units.

    The first four units started operation

    between 1994 and 1996, with a fifth

    unit installed in 2001.

    GT11N2 fleet has a proven record of high reliability and availability with more than 1.5 millionfired hours. It operates successfully worldwide in various industrial co-generations, simple orcombined-cycle applications.

    Sarnia / CANADAAlstom’s GT11N2 gas turbine

    technology is used for the largestco-generation facility in Canada. The

    650 MW combined-cycle co-generation

    plant in Sarnia, Ontario, owned by

    TransAlta Energy Corporation, is

    amongst the largest independent power

    projects in Canada. The plant generates

    electricity and steam from a single

    natural gas fuel source using the

    combination of gas turbines, heat

    recovery steam generators and steam

    turbines. Sarnia features the key element

    required for an efficient co-generation

    project: substantial demand for both

    steam and electricity. By efficiently

    managing the fuel, the Sarnia Regional

    co-generation plant reduces air

    emissions associated with energy

    production for the Dow Chemical

    Canada Inc and Bayer Chemical sites.

    Valle de Mexico / MEXICOUnit 4 of the existing Valle de Mexico

    thermal power plant has been convertedinto a combined-cycle plant. The

    repowering of this unit has increased the

    power output from 300 MW to around

    550 MW at the design point and during

    hybrid operation, providing additional

    power to Mexico City. The power plant

    has been fully operational since 2002

    and was the first combined-cycle plant

    in Mexico whose design allows for

    operation in pure combined-cycle or

    hybrid mode.

    Alstom supplied three GT11N2 gasturbines with TOPAIR turbogenerators,

    three heat recovery steam generators

    (HRSG) and the associated auxiliary

    equipment, engineering, the electrical

    and control system and a high voltage

    switchyard. Alstom was responsible for

    site preparation, civil works, erection and

    commissioning. Alstom also originally

    supplied the existing steam turbine to

    Valle de Mexico.

    TermoRio / BRAZILTermoRio is a combined-cycle

    co-generation power plant located onthe outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. It consists

    of three KA11N2-2 combined-cycleblocks. The plant delivers an electrical

    power output of more than 1,000 MW

    to the grid and 400 tons/hr of high

    pressure steam to Petrobras’s Reduc

    refinery. It is one of the largest combined

    cycle and co-generation power plants in

    South America.

    The plant was constructed in phases: it

    started commercial operation in simple

    cycle mode in 2002, less than a year

    after placing the order. The whole plant

    was complete in 2004. The highly

    modularised KA11N2-2 helpedstreamline project execution.

    Alstom is delivering clean power solutions now. As the

    uncontested leader in clean power generation technologies,

    we provide the cleanest integrated power solutions

    on the market.

    They cover all plants (both existing and new ones), all energy

    sources (from fossil fuels to hydro and nuclear), and all

    emissions (NOx, SOx, Mercury, particulate matter).

    Alstom offers the complete range of products designed to

    help power plants to either reduce pollutant and CO2emissions, or to produce clean electricity from the outset.

    For example, we deliver new coal-fired power plants with an

    advanced supercritical design using proven clean combustionsolutions that are integrated with state-of-the-art emission

    controls. Similarly, we improve the thermal and

    environmental efficiency of existing power plants by

    retrofitting plant components or upgrading the whole system.

    Investing in the future of clean powerAlstom is uniquely placed as a plant integrator and full-service

    provider to design and manufacture all the components

    of a clean power plant, from turbines such as the GT11N2

    to turbogenerators, boilers and air quality control systems.

    Alstom also invests substantially in the research and

    development of new, environmentally friendly power solutions.

    Together with partners, universities and customers in Europe

    and the United States, we are working on collaborative

    projects to develop solutions for pre- and post-combustionCO2 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.
