NYPA, GE Successfully Pilot Hydrogen Retrofit at Aeroderivative Gas Turbine
September 26, 2022
A pioneering GE aeroderivative gas turbine project to demonstrate hydrogen combustion as part of a retrofit at an existing U.S. natural gas power plant has successfully utilized blends of 5% to 44% hydrogen with natural gas—some of the highest volumes of hydrogen blended into a commercially operating gas turbine.
The project spearheaded by New York Power Authority (NYPA), the nation’s largest state public power organization, and GE demonstrated combustion of the hydrogen-natural gas blend on an LM6000 SAC gas turbine at NYPA’s 2001-opened 45-MW Brentwood Small Clean Power Plant in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
