The 9F is the 50 hertz version of GE's F-class heavy-duty gas turbine, sold by GE Vernova today as the 9F.04. The maker rates it at 294 MW in simple cycle with combined-cycle efficiency above 60 percent, and describes a three-stage hot gas path with advanced gas path features and improved materials for longer parts life. The 9F.04 can turn down to 35 percent of baseload within emissions limits and starts in up to 20 minutes in simple cycle or 30 minutes in combined cycle, and the turbine is cleared for 10 percent hydrogen. GE Vernova says more than 400 units are deployed in over 40 countries, the largest operating F-class fleet of any original manufacturer. The first 9F began operating in simple-cycle mode at an EDF site near Paris in 1992 as a 212 MW machine developed jointly with Alstom.
