The 6F is the small end of GE Vernova's F-class gas turbines, sold today as the 6F.03 and offered for both 50 and 60 hertz grids. The maker rates the 6F.03 at about 88 MW in simple cycle and more than 57 percent in combined cycle, with NOx of 15 ppm and capability of up to 100 percent hydrogen, and quotes inspection intervals of 32,000 hours for the combustion and hot gas path. It is pitched at harsh, remote or floating power sites and at combined heat and power, since its exhaust energy is high for its size, and it draws on scaled H-class and F-class technology. GE says more than 220 units are in service. A smaller sibling, the 6F.01, started as the 6C introduced in 2003 at 42 MW, was renamed and relaunched in 2017 with F-class and H-class materials for the distributed energy market, and appears in the first plant to use it, in Guilin, China.
