HL-class gas turbine

In October 2023, we have received the TÜV SÜD certificate for the hydrogen readiness concept covering combined cycle plants, simple cycle plants and combined heat and power plants equipped with the SGT-9000HL. With this certificate, TÜV SÜD validates the readiness concept for main systems and components with exception of the gas turbine package for hydrogen readiness up to 100% hydrogen. The gas turbine package itself is rated as H₂ ready for up to 50%Vol, based on current rig test results.

This is an important milestone in the 9000HL’s hydrogen journey as TÜV SÜD is an internationally recognized certifier, and this certificate is evidence that we meet the requirements to offer hydrogen-ready power plants in line with regulatory requirements, customer expectations and transformation roadmaps. We are aiming to have all gas turbines capable of burning 100% hydrogen by 2030, to help our customers meet their demands of the energy transition.  

• Industry leading service intervals for advanced gas turbines with the first outage at 33,000 EBH / 1,250 ES
• Ability to rotor de-stack on site and no rotor inspection recommended until 200,000 EBH/ 5,000 RES for hours based units
• Minimized outage durations through pre-designed serviceability features of the package and engine, for example, the capability to perform a Combustion Inspection + Row 1 Outage requiring no turbine cover lift instead of a traditional Hot Gas Path Inspection
• The frame is fully integrated into Siemens Energy service concept offerings
