    GE provides maintenance planning services for its heavy duty gas turbines. An appropriate maintenance plan optimizes costs while maximizing availability and reliability. GE considers operating conditions, reliability needs, maintenance capabilities, and design features to determine maintenance intervals. Intervals are based on hours of operation and number of starts under baseline conditions but are adjusted using maintenance factors for non-baseline conditions like fuel type or duty cycle. GE aims to facilitate maintenance through turbine designs with split casings, removable vanes, and inspectable components. Charts track component stresses and temperatures over cycles to inform planning.

    The document discusses maintenance planning and factors that influence maintenance intervals for gas turbines, including operating conditions, duty cycle, and design features.

    Maintenance planning aims to optimize costs while maximizing availability and reliability. Factors like duty cycle, fuel type, operating conditions, and on-site capabilities affect maintenance needs.

    When operating conditions differ from the baseline, appropriate hours-based or starts-based maintenance factors are applied to reduce recommended maintenance intervals depending on whether continuous duty or cyclic duty effects are produced.

    Maintenance Planning

    To facilitate on-site maintenance practices, GE heavy duty gas turbines are provided
    with appropriate design features, such as:

    • horizontally split casings for ease of access to the internal parts

    • stator vanes can be slid circumferentially into the casing grooves for removal and
    replacement without rotor removal

    • rotor buckets are moment-weighed and computer charted so that they may be replaced
    without the need to remove or rebalance the rotor

    • bearing housing are horizontally split to be easily inspected and replaced

    • flow path surfaces can also be visually inspected by means of a borescope

    How does GE approach deal with operating conditions differing from the baseline?

    fuel type
    produce effects similar to those induced by
    firing temperature setting Continuous duty (hours-like MF to be applied)
    steam or water injection

    emergency shutdowns
    start-up rate produce effects similar to those induced by
    starts with liquid fuel Cyclic Duty (starts-like MF to be applied)
    sudden load changes

    Appropriate hours-base or starts-based Maintenance Factors are applied to


    reduce the recommended maintenance intervals.
