STF-A650 (MT) and STF-D650 reheat steam turbines

Configuration flexibility

The fully modular architecture allows configuring the steam turbines for even the most demanding applications. Options include multiple controlled extractions, and condensing, district heating or back pressure type exhausts. Modules from other product families may be used as required.

Key features

STF-A650 and STF-D650 reheat steam platform

A versatile platform optimized for high parameter concentrated solar power applications as well as for advanced combined cycle steam tails and high efficiency industrial co-generation application in either 50 or 60 Hz grids.

• Robust and versatile turbines with a successful track record spanning more than 30 years.
  
• Outstanding configuration flexibility including internally or externally controlled steam extractions and axial, lateral, or backpressure exhausts.
• A design for more than 10,000 starts and optional stress controller and start-up valve (TAL) valve for rapid starts and transients make the STF-A650 and STF-D650 reheat steam turbines a great choice for concentrated solar power and CCPP applications with a daily start/stop regime
• Overload capacity at constant boiler pressure and reliable trip-free emergency de-loading thanks to optional overload valves
• Lower transport cost and up to three months reduction of installation time thanks to the optional fully factory assembled configuration available for the STF-A650
• Increased turbine efficiency, cycling capacity, and back pressure capability with GE’s unique shrink ring HP module design and GE’s latest nub and sleeve/free tip rear stages with low stress root design
