    GEs D Series combined cycle (CC) steam turbine provides our customers a high power density, world-class thermal efficiency product.

    Available in both 50 or 60 Hz single shaft and multi-shaft configurations, the D Series CC steam turbine is designed for a wide range of inlet

    steam conditions and HRSG firing capabilities. With a fleet of over 5000 units installed worldwide, GEs experience as a steam turbine designer

    and manufacturer continually evolves.

    I. A Brief HistoryGEs continuing development of reheat steam turbines for combined cycle applications spans two decades of design enhancements

    and continued improvements in efficiency and operability of bottoming cycle applications.

    Through the early 1990s GE had already amassed extensive experience in reheat and non-reheat steam turbinesdesigning reheat steam

    turbines for fixed pressure fossil applications with pressures of up to

    3500 psig and temperatures up to 1000F, and non-reheat steam

    turbines for industrial applications of sliding and fixed pressures

    up to 1400 psig and temperatures of up to 900F. Drawing on that

    combined experience, GE introduced the first GE Double Flow Reheat

    CC steam turbine with steam conditions of 1400 psig/1000F/1000F.

    In 1992 the fleet leader was deployed in a 207F combined cycle

    power plant in Florida.

    The following year the code 207D-11 was adopted, reflecting the

    design characteristics of a single shell, opposed-flow combined high

    and intermediate pressure (HP/IP), double-flow low pressure (LP)

    steam turbine.

    Introducing Structured Design

    With worldwide demand increasing in the late 1990s, GE introduced the structured 207D-11 offering to support the power generation

    needs of our customers. Building on our F class gas turbine and steam turbine products, the structured design provides enhanced solutions

    for combined cycle power generation, significantly decreasing delivery time.

    The structured 207D-11 concept evaluated the design space for a GE 207FA combined cycle power plant, creating customized pre-engineered

    combined cycle steam turbine solutions. From 2000 to 2002, GE shipped over 100 207D-11 steam turbines. The 109D-10 design was also

    developed in the mid 1990s to support 9F applications in single shaft (SS) configurations.

    109D-12 Single and Multi-shaft Configurations

    With further increases in demand for combined cycle power generation, to increase output capabilities customers required greater

    application and operational flexibility in both an axial single flow and double flow design. So in 2006, GE introduced the 109D-12 product,

    providing single shaft combined cycle steam turbine capabilities beyond that of the earlier A Series HEAT*product line.

    The 109D-12 configuration can also be applied in multi-shaft (MS) configurations for larger applications. The first unit shipped to Europe

    in 2009. There are a total of six units in the 109D-12 fleet today.

    207D-11 Product Enhancements the 207D-11A

    As the 207D-11 fleet matured, GEs continued New Technology Investment (NTI), operating experience of the 207D-11 fleet, and the collective

    voice of GEs customers led to improvements and technological advancements, introduced in 2009 as GEs 207D-11A product.

    The 207D-11A maintains GEs heritage impulse technology and delivers increased

    power density through the incorporation of Dense Pack* steam path technology,

    originally developed in our fossil steam turbine products, and a redesigned LP

    section. These enhancements yield improved efficiency while affording customers

    lower overall plants costs due to GEs high power density reduced span design.

    The 207D-11A also delivers improved performance and maintainability by virtue

    of new technology features, developed as part of GEs continued investment in

    steam turbine technology, and improved LP hood aerodynamics.

    As with all product evolution, design enhancements were made to directly

    address challenges documented in Technical Information Letters (TILs) related to the 207D-11 product, such as the addition of jacking

    provisions on the N2 packing head for improved maintainability, improved horizontal joint sealing, and enhanced diaphragm technology.

    207D-11D Fossil Experience Enables 2400 psig

    As customers continued to request improved combined cycle efficiency, GE applied its D Series fossil experience, along with its HEAT combined

    cycle experience to bring 2400 psig inlet steam capabilities to the D Series steam

    turbine products for combined cycle.

    In 2010 GEs 207D-11D steam turbine was introduced. This design incorporates

    a double HP/IP shell construction used in GEs fossil technology and A Series

    HEAT combined cycle technology. The 207D-11D is a great complement to the

    D Series where customers require large output and duct firing to fit their project

    requirements. For the highly duct fired projects, the increased inlet pressure enables

    a more efficient unfired condition while pressure slides up when the steam flow is

    increased, reaching maximum pressure capability at the maximum fired point.

    109D-14 HEAT Technology in Double Flow Configurations for 50 Hz

    Building on A Series HEAT technology, and fleet experience of 27 units with over 250,000 operation hours, GE introduced the 109D-14

    steam turbine for 50 Hz applications. This design supports an integrated 50 Hz SS plant design with high power density, increased efficiency

    and operational flexibility. The 109D-14 incorporates advances in drum rotor technology, and separate HP and IP sections (three separate

    casings design), and supports inlet steam capabilities of 2400 psig/1080F/1080F.

    This integrated plant design with GEs 50 Hz F-class gas turbine includes a Synchro Self Shifting (SSS) clutch between the generator and

    GEs combined cycle steam turbine, enabling faster and more flexible starting and loading. In addition, the 109D-14 design incorporates

    a single side exhaust with a common LP outer capable of supporting either cooling tower and air cooled condenser configurations,

    helping to reduce overall plant costs.

    Expanding HEAT Technology to 60 Hz Double Flow Combined Cycle Designs

    Based on the 50 Hz 109D-14 design, GE developed the 207D-17 60 Hz-capable design, providing HEAT technology in a double flow

    LP configuration. Similar to the 109D-14, the 207D-17 uses HEAT technology and three casing design architecture. The 207D-17 is also

    designed for improved efficiency and operational flexibility in a down exhaust configuration for multi-shaft 2 x 1 configurations. To

    accommodate various duct firing needs for any project, the LP section is sized according to the condenser cooling arrangementneeded for the project, typically cooling tower or air cooled.

    II. Our Technology and its EvolutionLast Stage Buckets

    GE has LSBs available for:

    All last stage buckets are fully validated designs with extensive hours of operation in the field. Validation data can be provided

    upon request.

    GE continues to invest in research and operating analysis of its installed fleet to provide customers with improved combined cycle

    steam turbine operational flexibility. LSB studies conducted to address operation at elevated back pressure conditions have been

    conducted, including:

    Unsteadiness of steam flow downstream of the last stage bucket and consequential broadband stimuli induced vibration

    Windage heating experienced in the LP hood

    Last stage bucket loading

    These studies led to increases in allowable exhaust pressure operation limits for LSB designs with continuously coupled, side entry,

    cover, nub and sleeve connection for 3000 RPM and 3600 RPM applications. Detailed operational guidelines are available in the technical

    brochure GEK116554, which is available from your GE sales or service manager. The backpressure trip limit has been increased from

    9 to 11.5 HgA for annulus velocities of 200 ft/s and above. The trip for annulus velocities less than 150 ft/s remains unchanged

    at 7.5 HgA.

    Impulse and Reaction Technologies

    GEs D Series combined cycle steam turbine designs incorporate both impulse and reaction technologies. The 109D-10, 207D-11,

    207D-11A, 207D-11D and 109D-12 are impulse designs, with Dense Pack features such as higher reaction, compact stage spacing,

    advanced seals and integral cover buckets. The 109D-14, 207D-17, and A Series combined cycle products incorporate our HEAT reaction

    steam path technology, providing additional improvement in overall efficiency.

    Improvements in Diaphragm Designs

    Singlets* are a standard feature in GEs current impulse designs. This advanced nozzle diaphragm design implements the latest

    manufacturing techniques to achieve improved performance. The singlet design incorporates a precision-machined steam path along

    with a mechanical construction design. Singlets enable advanced nozzle designs with tight tolerance control2X improvement in area

    control, 3X improvement in surface finish and profile, and 5X improvement in trailing edge profile.

    Singlet constructed diaphragms are one of the options introduced to replace traditional constructed diaphragms to address dishing

    (distortion) of diaphragms found in service during maintenance outages.

    N2 Packing Design Enhancements

    GE has enhanced its N2 packing casing design for combined

    HP/IP configurations incorporating new robust main fit geometry.

    The enhanced design is the result of a rigorous study to address

    potential cracking associated with material properties variations

    and includes:

    TIL 1627 with respect to potential N2 packing head groove cracking

    Geometry changes to reduce stress levels

    Improved horizontal joint sealing through additional bolting

    provisions

    Improved maintainability through the addition of jacking

    provisions to facilitate easier disassembly for maintenance

    Integral Cover Buckets

    In 2000, GE introduced its first generation (Gen 1)

    Integral Cover Bucket (ICB) in fossil Dense Pack applications,

    followed by the incorporation of advanced integral covered

    bucket designs in the D Series combined cycle products.

    Todays Gen 2 and T-root ICB designs have a full rhombic

    cover design, integrating advanced sealing technologies

    and clean root geometry, resulting in a smooth steam

    path sidewalls design and enhanced performance.

    Variable Clearance Positive Pressure Packing

    Variable Clearance Positive Pressure Packing (VCPPP) was originally introduced in GEs fossil Dense Pack fossil applications in the mid-1990s.

    Todays VCPPPs include abradable coatings that improve long-term efficiency by maintaining sharpness of the sealing teeth. An interlocking tooth

    configuration provides reduced start-up and turning gear operation rubbing, further reducing leakage up to 20% compared to conventional toothgeometry. Abradable coatings were first introduced in GEs HEAT technology and are now used extensively in GE steam turbine products.

    Brush Seals

    Advanced seals were developed and tested at GEs Global

    Research Center to understand seal behavior under simulated

    steam turbine operating conditions. To date, brush seals offer

    the tightest clearance amongst all seals along with a significant

    improvement in leakage control and overall improved steam

    turbine performance.

    With advancements achieved in bucket design, brush seals are

    now employed at tip locations, significantly reducing leakage as

    compared to traditional bucket tip seal designs. A brush seal bristle

    pack is able to withstand transient events while maintaining the

    integrity of the seal. Applications at bucket tips are intended to

    provide flexible clearance control while also being able to handle

    transient events without losing the integrity of the seal.

    III. Expanding Combined Cycle Platforms to 2400 psigTo provide customers with further increases in efficiency in the CC steam turbine fleet, GE drew from extensive fossil steam turbine

    experience where double shell construction has been used at inlet pressures of 2400 psig for over 60 years.

    Applying our experience with the D Series fossil unit fleet and fossil-to-CC retrofits, GE incorporated double shell construction into theD Series CC steam turbine and developed the 207D-11D, capable of operating at a nominal pressure of 2400 psig.

    The 207D-11D

    Similar in architecture to the 207D-11A, the 207D-11D is a reheat opposed flow HP/IP design with a double flow LP section, capable of

    steam turbine inlet nominal conditions of 2400 psig/1050F/1050F. The design is currently available for 60 Hz applications, for 207 and 307

    configurations and like the 207D-11 and 207D-11A, the 207D-11D can accommodate GEs family of LSBs referenced earlier. The robust

    design also supports extractions for district heating or gas turbine steam injection applications to fit customers needs.

    Main steam and reheat inlets are located in the lower half along with the HP exhaust with the crossover located in the upper half close to

    the HP exhaust. This allows the inner shell to be bathed with IP exhaust steam, eliminating potential thermal distortion from top to bottom.

    Benefits of GEs 207D-11D design configuration include:

    Reducing temperature on the outer shell to improve shell life and mitigate outer shell thermal distortion

    Dramatically simplified and standardized bolting design to reduce flow losses at inlet and exhaust annuli (same material and same

    sized studs are used for 90% of the outer shell)

    Location of main fit enables the shell to grow in the same direction as the rotor, and reduce axial clearance

    This arrangement/configuration of shells, similar to GE fossil designs, allows for cooling of the inner shell, improving both inner shell life

    and clearance control.

    The steam path features are similar to those of the 207D-11A, including GEs latest buckets, nozzles and seal technologies.

    District Heating

    GE has developed combined cycle steam turbines (CCST) with

    the flexibility to provide customized solutions for large extraction

    applications. Our solutions cover a wide range of designs to match

    varying customer needs, including: extraction from the LP cross over,

    extraction(s) from the HP/IP sections, and the integration of a SSS

    clutch between the IP and LP sections for increased district heating

    extraction applications.

    IV. HEAT Steampath TechnologyThe success of the 107A-14 HEAT combined cycle steam turbine

    launch in 60 Hz was quickly followed with the launch of GEs109A-15 combined cycle steam turbine for 50 Hz. Similar to the

    107A-14, the 109A-15 has gone through extensive field validation

    confirming its exceptional operability and performance.

    Further improvements led to GEs next generation 50 Hz A series

    steam turbine product for combined cycle applications, the GE

    109A-17, extending inlet pressure and temperature capabilities

    to 2400 psig/1112F/1050F. Added in 2010, this 109A-17 design

    delivers enhanced performance that is integrated into GEs 109FB

    single shaft standard combined cycle power plant offering for

    50 Hz customers.

    power generation plants with improved base load and part load efficiency, enhanced start-up reliability, and improved turndown, GE

    developed its FlexEfficiency* 50 standard combined cycle power plant. This new 50 Hz single shaft plant is an innovative total plant design

    that sets a new standard for high efficiency and operational flexibility.

    12/16

    The 109D-14 combined cycle steam turbine was developed for this single shaft arrangement supporting GEs integrated plant design solution

    Nominally rated at 180 MW, the 109D-14 uses a three-casing design architecture with HEAT steam path technology with steam inlet

    capabilities of 2400 psig/1112F/1112F delivering shaft efficiencies of greater than 40%. Its three-casing design and drum-type rotor

    architecture along with high reaction HEAT steam path technology and stationary blade blinglet system enables improved clearance

    controls across shorter bearing spans, providing improved operability and flex-efficiency.

    The two-flow side-exhaust configuration reduces overall plant capital expenditure, allowing ground-level connections of the LP hood into the

    lateral condenser with a reduced overall centerline height of GEs single shaft plant design.

    Integration of an SSS clutch in GEs 109D-14 steam turbine design also provides improved operational start up flexibility and maintenance

    benefits of the single shaft gas turbine train, allowing the CCST to be clutched out and on turning gear for cool-down while maintenance is

    being conducted on the gas turbine. It reduces auxiliary steam requirements during hot start-up cycles (shutdowns typically less than six

    hours). This enables gas turbine output of 85% load in less than twenty minutes, and can reduce customer planned maintenance cycles, by

    two less days typically.

    The key features of the 109D-14 steam turbine are:

    Separate HP, IP and LP configuration improved sealing and

    clearance control for increased efficiency

    Proven HEAT steam path technology

    HP, IP and LP drum rotor construction with blinglet nozzles

    Advanced 820 mm and 1040 mm LSBs with improved aerodynamic

    and dovetail configurations

    Integrated SSS clutch in front standard increasing plant

    operational flexibility

    Single-side two-flow exhaust hood reduced plant centerline height

    Common LP hood architecture across both cooling tower and

    air-cooled condenser applications

    207D-17 for the 60 Hz Market

    Much like the 50 Hz market, the 60 Hz market has the same need for high base and part load efficiency, start-up reliability, and improved

    turndown. GEs 207D-17 steam turbine was developed for the multi-shaft 207FA arrangement, and is rated up to 450 MW, using a three-

    casing design architecture also incorporating HEAT steam path technology. The 207D-17 uses much of the same architecture as the

    109D-14, accommodating current inlet conditions of 2400 psig/1050F/1050F with plans to increase inlet pressure and temperature

    capabilities to 2400 psig/1112F/1112F in the future.

    The 207D-17 combined cycle steam turbine is designed to accommodate the full range of duct firing up to 100%, and uses a two-flow

    down-exhaust configuration and GEs advanced 40 (1016 mm) steel LSB for the cooling tower configuration and its 34.5 (876 mm) LSB

    for air-cooled condenser applications.
