GE Unveils Cross-Fleet Gas Turbine Capabilities That Can Increase Performance and Reliability of Other OEM Fleets

• New Cross-Fleet Service Solutions Support a Range of Technologies,
  Including Siemens and Mitsubishi Gas Turbine Fleets
• Cross-Fleet Capabilities Will Help Deliver on CustomersÔÇÖ Needs for
  More Output and Flexibility Plus Less Downtime for Maintenance
• GE Has More than $200 Million in Orders Backlog with Power
  Producers in Mexico, Russia and Germany
• New Service Solutions Extend GEÔÇÖs Total Plant Capabilities to Other
  OEM Gas Plant Assets

BADEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Expanding its commitment to service cross-fleet power generation
equipment, GEÔÇÖs Power Services business (NYSE: GE) today unveiled a
range of capabilities to advance the performance and reliability of
other original equipment manufacturer (OEM) gas turbine fleets,
including SiemensÔÇÖ and MitsubishiÔÇÖs SGT-800 and 501F units. GE also
announced more than $200 million in gas turbine cross-fleet orders
backlog. GEÔÇÖs injection of its advanced capabilities and technology into
these fleets will help gas plant operators gain more flexibility,
reliability and efficiency along with longer maintenance intervals and
better overall performance.

ÔÇ£GE is proven as one of the technology leaders and trusted service
providers with 50 million hours of F-class operating experience on our
own fleet, which we are applying to cross-fleet assets,ÔÇØ said Scott
Strazik, president and CEO of GEÔÇÖs Power Services business. ÔÇ£WeÔÇÖre also
benefiting from the extensive steam turbine, generator and HRSG
other-OEM capabilities and expertise we acquired from AlstomÔÇÖs power
business in November 2015. WeÔÇÖve combined all of these attributes and
broadened our capabilities to now include select cross-fleet gas
turbines. With more than $200 million in backlog orders in Latin America
and Europe now booked, the timing makes sense to unveil our capabilities
externally.ÔÇØ

This industry-leading expertise includes applying insights from GEÔÇÖs
F-class gas turbines, amassed from 50 million operating hours, to
develop new hardware components that deliver better performance and
services that reduce downtime. Patented and proprietary GE technologies
such as advanced coatings, stronger alloys and enhanced cooling in
turbine and combustion components help extend maintenance intervals and
increase performance output. Plus, reliability enhancements will help
reduce risk during extended intervals.

ÔÇ£With the expansion of our gas turbine cross-fleet capabilities, weÔÇÖre
adopting other OEMsÔÇÖ units into our fleet for long-term services
support,ÔÇØ said Martin OÔÇÖNeill, general manager of cross-fleet solutions
for GEÔÇÖs Power Services business. ÔÇ£These capabilities span a broad range
of services and are blended with our own OEM expertise, coming from both
GE and Alstom. As an OEM with a collective 270+ years of power
generation experience, weÔÇÖre combining our proven expertise across
similar gas turbine technologies with data-driven insights to improve
the original performance and flexibility of these units.ÔÇØ

GE has completed several outages at 501F power plants, spanning
inspection services on all major plant components and systems. Its 501F
capabilities include:

• Increased intervals of up to 32,000 hours/1,250 starts (for fewer
  combustion inspections).
• More output and better efficiency in both simple-cycle and
  combined-cycle operations.
• Improved emissions with lower turndown and fuel flexibility.

GE has also signed several long-term agreements to provide maintenance
and performance upgrades for SGT-800 turbines. Its capabilities in this
fleet include:

• Significantly extended maintenance intervals up to 40,000 hours/900
  starts.
• Increased output by up to 6 percent and efficiency up to 1.5 percent.

In addition, GEÔÇÖs global network of some 40 service centers have proven
processes to inspect and analyze cross-fleet hardware, develop repair
solutions that will keep power and steam producers up and running and
improve overall plant performance.

GEÔÇÖs gas turbine cross-fleet capabilities also include remote monitoring
capabilities to help customers increase reliability and availability,
reduce operation and maintenance costs and mitigate operational risks.

ÔÇ£GEÔÇÖs Predix-based APM software applications give customers advanced
data analytics to help predict and eliminate unplanned downtime, as well
as improve plant reliability and availability,ÔÇØ adds OÔÇÖNeill. ÔÇ£This
software helps predict potential problems on both GE and non-GE
equipment, avoid costly unplanned outages and increase plant
flexibility.ÔÇØ

GEÔÇÖs Asset Performance Management (APM) solution includes predictive
maintenance capabilities and 24/7 remote monitoring from its global
Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Center in Atlanta. GE currently monitors
more than 1,000 cross-fleet power generation assets and provides its
customers with data-driven insights from OEM equipment.
