Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China - December 7, 2021 - GE (NYSE: GE) and Harbin Electric Corporation today announced that Chinese state-owned power utility Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. has ordered two GE 9HA.01 gas turbines for its Guangdong Huizhou combined cycle power plant in Guangdong province, in the Greater Bay Area. Expected to burn up to 10 percent by volume of hydrogen blended with natural gas upon start of operation, the gas turbines will be the first to burn hydrogen blended with natural gas in mainland China. The project is expected to be operational in 2023 providing 1.34 GW of power to the Guangdong province, which is an agglomeration of cities, to strengthen international cooperation and promote lower-carbon, inclusive, coordinated and sustainable development. Harbin Electric Corporation will also provide steam for the industrial process of the chemical complex present in Huizhou.
China is committed to the coal-to-gas transition and implementing its policy to reduce coal's share to under 58% of the energy mix. Hydrogen-blended natural gas-fired generators have the lowest CO2 emissions of all fossil power generation fuels-a 10 percent hydrogen-blended natural gas-fired combined cycle plant has roughly 40 percent of the CO2 emissions of a similarly sized coal plant, and lower emissions levels for other pollutants such as mercury, NOx, SOx and particulate matter.
"GE has long been our preferred partner when transitioning our power plants from coal to natural gas, exceeding our expectations in projects such as our Dongguan Ningzhou power plant" a representative of Guandong Energy Group said. "In Guangdong, we focus on meeting the growing electricity and steam needs while reducing carbon emissions, and we are proud our plant will be GE's first hydrogen-blended natural gas fueled facility in mainland China. This project will be foundational in promoting the use of hydrogen blending in power generation across other provinces".
"GE sees hydrogen-blended natural gas serving as a catalyst accelerating the world's efforts towards decarbonizing the power generation sector," said Ma Jun, Utility Sales General Manager of GE Gas Power China. "We are pleased that Guangdong Energy Group once again has selected our H-Class technology to deliver highly efficient power generation that will emit even less carbon when blended with hydrogen. The units will initially operate on a blend of up to 10% hydrogen by volume, with potential for an increase in future."
The project marks the first localized 9HA.01 manufactured by General Harbin Electric Gas Turbine (Qinhuangdao) Co., Ltd. ("Joint Venture") in mainland China. The Joint Venture was formed in 2019 between GE and Harbin Electric as a joint effort to focus on heavy duty gas turbine localization, aiming to deliver efficient and reliable support for China natural and hydrogen-blended gas power plants. In addition, Harbin Electric will provide steam turbine, generator and balance-of-plant equipment for the Guangdong Huizhou power plant.
GE's H-Class gas turbine portfolio currently has the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas. This capability is enabled by the DLN2.6e combustion system that is standard on current 9HA.01/9HA.02/7HA.03 gas turbines offerings. The technology in this combustion system was developed as part of the US Department of Energy's High Hydrogen Turbine program, and enabled combustion of high hydrogen without diluent. This technology has enabled the DLN 2.6e combustion system to operate on blends of natural gas and hydrogen, and GE has a technology roadmap to achieve 100% hydrogen in this platform.
GE and Harbin Electric have been suppliers for Guangdong Energy Group for many years. GEG selected GE's two 9F gas turbines for Xinhui Power Plant. Additionally, GE is currently supporting the plant operator's transition from coal-to-gas at its Dongguan Ningzhou power plant. GEG selected GE's three 9HA.02 gas turbines and Harbin Electric's stream turbine, generator and other auxiliary equipments for the Dongguan Ningzhou combined cycle power plant in Guangdong province, also in the Greater Bay Area.
GE Gas Power serves over 100 customers' more than 200 gas turbines in mainland China, with an installed power capacity of 46 GW. Built on 129 years of heritage, industry expertise and leadership, GE Gas Power is among the first international manufacturer and supplier of gas turbine technology to enter China.
Continental Asia is home to 50% of the world's population, and with that volume, emissions are a major concern. But countries reeling from the pandemic see renewables driving economic recovery. As one of the most efficient gas turbines in the world, GE's LM2500XPRESS is a key player in your new energy blueprint; essential to cutting CO2 and helping adapt your grid.
With up to 95% assembly in the factory, the LM2500XPRESS was created for speed and simplicity. The LM2500XPRESS comes pre-packaged in 10 simplified modules for easy install and features 27 electrical interconnects vs. 130+ for a traditional plant, as well as minimal mechanical interconnects. Module systems flushing is completed at the factory, so customers don't need to flush on-site. For customers who need power in days, not weeks, the LM2500XPRESS can be installed in about 14 days by 20 people.
The LM2500's high efficiency helps reduce operating costs, plant emissions, and reliance on the local grid. With its dual fuel capability, including singular annular combustor (SAC) or GE's latest dual fuel dry low emissions (DLE) technology, the LM2500 delivers performance with low emissions in a variety of situations and water availability scenarios. It features high reliability with control system redundancy, along with multiple options for configuration, making it a great choice for customers who need a more tailored power generation solution. The LM2500's cycling capability allows multiple daily starts and stops, providing a strong solution for grids with penetration of renewable generation. Its open configuration allows for faster accessibility, easier maintenance, and increased speed of engine removal/replacement.
LM2500 gas turbines can operate on a wide variety of fuels, like natural gas, diesel, aviation fuel, naphtha, LPG, ethane, ethanol, biodiesel and others, and have nearly 30 years of experience operating on fuels that contain hydrogen, totaling over 6 million operating hours using concentrations ranging from 5% to 95% (by volume).
Aeroderivative gas turbines have the highest availability and reliability of any thermal power technology. GE's aero turbines have several times the operating experience of all our competitors' aero gas turbines combined, and can be replaced in a few days for a major inspection.
Made for high cycling capability and multi-day start/stop cycles, the LM2500 is a reliable source for fast power when needed. With the ability to ramp up from cold iron to base load within 5 minutes, you can get on the grid quickly and gain access to a wider range of ancillary services.
The LM2500XPRESS gas turbine is 95% factory assembled into simplified modules for fast and easy site installation, and has approximately 80% fewer electrical interconnects compared to traditional plants. It can be assembled and producing power in as little as two weeks.
GE is the only provider of aeroderivative gas turbine technology with a dual fuel dry low emissions capability, which meets 15ppm NOx when operating on gas fuel.
In addition to its fast start, the LM2500XPRESS is ready to provide power when you need it, with installation and commissioning in as few as 14 days.
Looking to build your next power plant quickly? GE has modular, flexible aeroderivative gas turbine technology that can be installed in as few as 13 days, to get power up and running fast.
