General Electric LMS100
The General Electric LMS100 is an aero derivative gas turbine produced by GE Distributed Power.The LMS100 PA produces approximately 100 MW at an efficiency of around 46% LHV in open cycle operation. It is currently the largest and most efficient aero-derivative gas turbine. It is able to produce full rated power in under 10 minutes.
The LMS100 comprises a low-pressure compressor, an intercooler, a supercore and a power turbine. The supercore is a further development of the LM6000, which in turn was based on the CF6-80C2. The low-pressure compressor is from the 6FA industrial gas turbine.
The first LMS100 engine entered commercial operation in July 2006 and a second unit in 2008 at owned and operated by Basin Electric near Groton, SD. Other operational LMS100 power stations are at Laredo, TX, El Paso, TX, Firebaugh, CA, Waterbury, CT, Santiago, Guemes YPF Anello , Loma Campana, Neuquen, Edmonton, Calpine Corporation's Cumberland station in Millville, New Jersey, Stratford Power Station in New Zealand, Kwinana Power Station in Western Australia, Dzhubginskaya, Russia,and Tempe, AZ .LADWP, Redondo Beach, City of Industry Palm Springs, Ottay Mesa Excellon Massachusetts
The LMS100 PA gas turbines utilize water injection for NOx control. The LMS100 PB gas turbine uses dry low NOx combustors. The first LMS100 PB unit entered commercial operation in 2013.
