The trailer-mounted TM2500+ aeroderivative gas turbine meets the requirement of electricity producer for fast and mobile power up to 31MW. Operating on natural gas at ISO baseload conditions, the TM2500+ with improved compressor technology has a higher MW output and efficiency than GE's previous TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine technology.
Operating benefits
GE's TM2500+ aeroderivative gas turbine operating on natural gas at ISO baseload conditions has an efficiency of 35% at 50Hz. Compared to GE's TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine operating at ISO baseload conditions, the TM2500+ consumes approximately 64,000 fewer MMBTU of natural gas per year at 25 MW of output, yielding an annual savings of approximately $640,000 at a natural gas price of $10.00/MMBTU.
At 60 Hz, the TM2500+ consumes approximately 95,000 fewer MMBTU of natural gas per year at 30 megawatts of output, yielding an annual savings of approximately $500,000 at a natural gas price of $5.25/MMBTU.
Environmental achievements
GE's TM2500+ aeroderivative gas turbine operating on natural gas at ISO baseload conditions has an efficiency of 35% at 50Hz. Compared to GE's TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine operating at ISO baseload conditions, the TM2500+ emits approximately 3,800 fewer metric tons of CO2 per year for 25 MW of output.
At 60 Hz and when compared to GE's TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine operating at ISO baseload conditions, the TM2500+ emits approximately 5,700 fewer metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year at 30 megawatts of output
The TM2500+ has an improved design. Now packaged on a two-trailer system with a top-mounted air inlet filter and exhaust assemblies, the TM2500+ requires 77% less space than its predecessor.
"GE's legacy of innovation and American ingenuity is showcased in the TM2500+," said Darryl Wilson, president and CEO—aeroderivative gas turbines for GE Power & Water. "Our engineers took the successful TM2500 and drove lean, innovative processes to make it even better to meet the needs for fast, emergency or mobile power."
GE's TM2500+ joins the FlexAero LM6000-PH, LM6000-PCe, LM6000-PF and LMS100 among GE's growing list of ecomagination-qualified products.
