General Electric LMS100

The General Electric LMS100 is an aeroderivative gas turbine built by GE Vernova, a design that couples an aircraft engine core to industrial power generation hardware. In its LMS100 PA form it produces about 100 MW at roughly 46 percent lower heating value efficiency in open cycle operation, which made it the largest and most efficient aeroderivative gas turbine, and it can reach full rated power in under ten minutes. The machine has a low pressure compressor taken from the 6FA industrial gas turbine, an intercooler, a supercore derived from the LM6000 (itself descended from the CF6-80C2) and a power turbine. The first unit entered commercial operation in July 2006 and a second followed in 2008, and power stations in the United States, Chile, Argentina, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Russia have used it. The PA version controls nitrogen oxides with water injection, while the PB version, first in commercial service in 2013, uses dry low emission combustors.
