The SGT6-2000E is characterized by extremely good rapid startup properties, very high reliability and availability as well as lenient fuel quality requirements. Since 1989 over 75 units have been installed world-wide. Together the fleet has more than 4.300.000 EOH. This gas turbine underwent several design versions over this time.
Over the last years the worldwide demand for power has been growing continuously. Siemens anticipated and reacted to the needs of the market by further developing its simple and combined cycle power plant technologies for the SGT6-2000E and providing a full range of performance enhancements.
To maintain the competitiveness of your operating assets, we offer the latest technologies to enhance your operating plant performance, reliability, availability and flexibility.
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:
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:
The unit specific investigation includes an evaluation of:
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:
In addition, Lifetime Extensions are scheduled for the following units, e.g.:*
