Advancing Technologies
Positioned to meet future energy needs
At GE, we believe investing in advanced technologies today is vital to meeting the global energy goals of tomorrow—from higher efficiency to fewer emissions. For over a century, GE has invested in the research and development of next generation gas turbine technology, and today our commitment to product innovation is stronger than ever.
Fuel flexibility is one of the cornerstones of GE’s combined cycle power plant innovation. Based on more than 50 years of fuel experience, GE has developed gas turbine technology that allows for less wear and tear on the turbine, with a wide range of alternative gas and liquid fuels.
When it comes to burning alternative gas and liquid fuels, GE gas turbines are engineered and proven to generate lower emissions and perform more efficiently and reliably than comparable technologies.
Operating on a variety of fuels, GE’s gas turbines deliver the flexibility and performance that utilities need to adapt to the rapidly evolving energy environment.
-
Heavy Fuel Oil
With the introduction of GE’s fuel flexibility technologies, the availability of gas turbines fueled by heavy fuel oils has significantly increased and average performance has measurably improved.
-
Industrial Gas
With almost two million hours in service, GE’s technologies have substantially improved the performance of non-traditional fuels.
-
Gas Turbine Validation Test Facility
In an effort to ensure the highest level of performance and efficiency, GE has developed a full-speed, full-load Gas Turbine Validation Test Facility—the largest and most thorough Gas Turbine System Validation in the world.
