GE Power’s LMS100 gas turbine to support grid stability in South Asia

GE Power announced that it has been selected by the Jiangsu Etern Company Limited to supply its LMS100 gas turbine for an upcoming 100 (±10) megawatt (MW) simple cycle natural gas-based power plant located in the city of Shahjibazar in Bangladesh. The order, worth multi-million $, includes supplying the gas turbine equipment and providing related services for installation, testing and commissioning. The project is expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of 2019.

The LMS100 is among GE’s high-efficiency aero derivative gas turbines ideally suited to meet fluctuating grid conditions due to their heightened flexibility and helping to provide a high degree of stability to the grid. The embedded dual-fuel capability gives additional flexibility to the gas turbine, enabling it to operate on both natural gas and LPG with zero fuel transition cost. GE’s LMS100 technology is apt for the power plants currently running on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or Diesel in South Asian countries of India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
