To support the reliable and safe operation of gas turbines beyond the original design life of the components, we offer Lifetime Extension measures for all Siemens gas turbine V-frames.
Major components of the Siemens V-frame gas turbines – especially components of the hot gas path and rotor – are designed for a set operational duration. Our experience shows that for gas turbines being operated beyond the components’ original design life, the risk of operational failure can increase substantially.
Benefits may include:
- Detailed unit specific engineering analysis of the operation and maintenance of your gas turbine, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of your gas turbine, such as operating mode and unit history, leads to tailored, cost-optimized Lifetime Extension recommendations.
- Positioning your unit for operation up to another 100,000 EOH or 3,000 starts
- Reduction of the operational risk when operating your unit past 100,000 EOH or 3,000 starts
- An opportunity to upgrade previous technology with Siemens improved components.
The Lifetime Extension outage includes a detailed, unit specific engineering analysis of the operation and maintenance of your gas turbine. We deliver unit specific recommendations through:
- Consideration of unit’s available operational history, duty cycle, findings and component sample investigations (unit specific investigation)
- Fleet operational history and frame specific modeling (frame specific investigation).
The unit specific investigation includes an evaluation of:
- Rotor
- Compressor
- Turbine
- Combustion section
- Burners.
The recommended scope of work to be performed, including modernization and upgrade measures, will be defined with consideration of your long-term operating requirements.
Siemens Energy successfully performed Lifetime Extensions for a variety of gas turbines around the world. More than 70 units are back in operation after Lifetime Extension measures including the following V-frame units:
- Four units in United States SGT6-2000E (V84.2)
- Two units in Great Britain SGT5-2000E (V94.2)
- One unit in Indonesia SGT5-2000E (V94.2)
- Two units in Turkey SGT5-2000E (V94.2)
- Two units in Netherlands (V64.3).
In addition, Lifetime Extensions are scheduled for the following units, e.g.:*
- One unit in Argentina SGT5-4000F (V94.3A)
- Three units in Germany and Netherlands (V64.3).
