National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Utility advanced turbine systems (ATS) technology readiness testing phase 3 restructured (3r).

DE2001780452

Publication Date	2000
Page Count	11
Abstract	Much of the 'H' technology design is based on proven, established technologies. The major technologies of the combined cycle powertrain, including the bearing designs, the evaluation methods for rotor dynamics, the compressor and turbine blading designs, and the generator field construction methods are all either direct applications of proven design technology or evolutionary refinement of existing designs. It is for these reasons that GE expects that the reliability of the new 'H' Class generating system will be fully commensurate with the levels associated with today 'F' Class combined cycle power plants. With maintenance and operations performed at 'best practice' levels, the new 'H' Class plant should reach its full reliability potential of 97.0% or better.
