SGT6-5000F heavy duty gas turbine for 60Hz power generation

The SGT6-5000F only needs 10 min from startup (turning gear) to 95% gas turbine load. There is a one minute coast in period from 95% load to full base load. The SGT6-5000F achieves ramp-up rates of up to about 52.4 MW per minute, enabling fast start-up and rapid load changes.

The global SGT6‑5000F fleet has accumulated more than 15 million operating hours and demonstrates reliability in the range of about 99–99.2%, making it a proven choice for dependable operation.

The SGT6‑5000F offers outstanding fuel flexibility, handling a wide range of fuels such as natural gas, LNG, various crude and distillate oils, condensate, biodiesel, alcohols, and aviation-type fuels, with dual‑fuel capability.

Yes, the combustion system can cope with fuel gas compositions that include hydrogen sulfide and can typically burn fuel gases with up to about 30% hydrogen by volume, supporting future‑ready low‑carbon operation.

Thanks to its advanced low‑NOₓ combustion system, the SGT6‑5000F can achieve single‑digit NOₓ emissions of under 9 ppmvd and low CO emissions, even down to part‑load operation.

The turbine uses proven conventional alloys, robust mechanical design, and low firing temperatures to extend service intervals and asset lifetime, with features like replaceable rotating blades without removing the rotor stack.

Yes, SGT6‑5000F‑based plants can be configured in multi‑shaft combined cycle arrangements (such as 1x1 or 2x1) and are well suited for cogeneration or CHP, offering strong steam‑raising capability.

Siemens Energy provides long‑term programs, overhauls, field service, spare parts, component reconditioning, and modernization upgrades, supported by a global service network available around the clock.
