OBJECTIVE
Objective of this presentation is
that to share the information &
knowledge on the construction &
designing of GE 10-1 single
combustor gas turbine.
INTRODUCTION
The GE10 engine family is a 12 MW range
heavy-duty gas turbine, available in either a
single or a twin-shaft configuration.
The GE10 engine design has been highly refined
based on the extensive experience gained
operating in all types of environments.
There are many units running under conditions
ranging from the cold of Alaska to the heat of
the desert and the humidity of the tropics.
Its efficiency and operational flexibility make the
GE10 a cost-effective choice for all applications.

Engine Characteristics
The gas turbine is the well proven
GE10-1 Engine, a heavy duty single
shaft engine that has accumulated a
very large number of fired hours.
The cases are horizontally split and the
rotor has a disk architecture.
The combustion system consists of a
horizontally positioned single can; the
GE10-1 is available in both Diffusion
Combustion System and DLN (Dry Low
NOx) versions and is able to burn a wide
range of liquid and gas fuels, including
Low BTU gas and hydrogen.
Axial Compressor
The compressor is a high Performance,
eleven-stage axial flow design with a 15.5:1
pressure ratio derived from GE Aircraft
Engine transonic flow aero design
technology.
The rotational speed is 11000 rpm with a
mass flow of 47 kg/s. The antisurge
margin exceeds 25%. Advanced 3D airfoils
are used for vanes and blades, and the first
three rows of stator blades are adjustable
to optimize operability.
The compressor rotor cold side (the fixed
point of the gas turbine) accommodates
the load flange.
This configuration guarantees reduced
flange movement during gas turbine
thermal transients.
A patented GECC-1 aluminum ceramic
coating is provided for application in
marine environments.
Combustion System
and Emissions
The combustion system consists of a single, slot-
cooled combustion chamber assembly that
permits easy maintenance of the hot gas path.
This combustion chamber is able to burn a wide
range of fuels, from liquid distillates to
residuals, to all gaseous fuels, including low
BTU gas.
The broad fuel capability of this combustor is
due to the variable geometry design patented by
GE. A NOx level of 25 ppm @ 15% O2 is
guarantee over a wide load range.
DLN Dual Fuel version (liquid + gas fuel) is also
available.
Turbine
The single-shaft version is optimized for
power generation applications.
The turbine consists of three reaction
stages.
In the first two-stages, the hot gas parts
are cooled by air extracted from the axial
compressor.
The second and third stages have
interlocked shrouds to limit tip leakage
and blade vibration.
Generator and Gearbox
The unit is equipped with: an open, air cooled
four-pole 11kV generator (6.6kV CACA also
available).
Jacking oil system
Anti-condensation heater
Brushless excitation system
Seismic probes
Thermocouple for each bearing and each phase
Ventilation silencers
The gearbox is directly connected to the
generator and the entire gear is supported by the
generator casing without an external coupling.
Lubrication and Bearings
The on-base integrated lubrication system

feeds the gas turbine, the speed reduction
gear and the driven generator.
The lube oil tank is integral with the gas
turbine base plate. The main lube oil
pump is a VFD Type and a DC electric
motor driven pump is provided for
emergency backup.
A stand-by pump identical to the main
pump is available as an option in order to
allow continuous operation in the event of
a main pump failure.
In the standard package configuration, the
oil is cooled with an air cooler; a water
cooler can be provided upon customer
request.
The thrust and journal bearings are of the
tilting pad type.
Starting
System
In this package, the Electric Generator is
provided with an LCI VFD starting panel that
allows it to be used as the gas turbine starter.
The panel allows the generator to act as a
motor until the machine reaches the self-
sustaining speed.
At that point, the generator function is
switched to generation mode to achieve
synchronization as soon as a suitable rpm is
reached.
Fuel Gas System
A typical gas fuel configuration
employs shutoff valves for safety
reasons and metering valves to control
the machine load and CO/NOx
emissions.
Depending on the level of DLN
performance requested, two or three
metering valves are needed in order to
control gas injection in the various parts
of the combustion chamber.
Unit Control Panel
The GE10 control system is standardized

to assure a high degree of integration
between the turbine and the generator.
The system is based on the GE Fanuc RX3i
PAC System platform with remote I/O
modules.
The Bentley Nevada 1701 is installed for the
acquisition of data from seismic probes and
for humming detection.
The control, monitoring and tuning of unit
parameters can be performed remotely.
Remote data acquisition does not interfere
with normal site operations.
Control CAB
An integrated control cab containing all

electrical panels for control and operation
of the unit is supplied, including:
Unit control panel
Motor control center
VFD for gas turbine starting
Generator control and protection panel
DC panel & battery charger
Batteries
On site monitoring system
The cab is provided with an air
conditioning system, normal and
emergency lighting, a smoke detection
system and manual fire suppression
bottles.
Air Filter
The air filtration system consists of a pulse
jet type filter house, an inlet duct and a
silencer.
The Pulse Jet system also provides an anti-
icing function without any additional
hardware.
Filter inspection and replacement of filter
cartridges are facilitated by gangways and
ladders that are included as part of the scope
of supply.
Package Arrangement
The gas turbine enclosure consists of a
separate structure and panels mounted on a
base plate.
Access doors are included for normal
maintenance operations and inspections. The
ventilation system for internal cooling of the
package consists of two 100% axial fans.
The enclosure includes fire & gas detection
systems and an automatic CO2 type fire
fighting system.
The enclosure guarantees a sound
pressure level lower than 85 dBA at 1m.
For indoor applications, an 80 dBA
version is available upon request.
The GE10-1 package is designed
specifically for power generation
applications and is optimized to minimize
plant dimensions and to reduce
maintenance cost and time.
The single lift architecture minimizes the
site installation and commissioning lead
time.
The integrated control cab eliminates civil
works for the control room and site wiring
activities.
