“Fleet360 represents GE’s expanded capabilities as a total
solutions provider for all power generation equipment regardless of
who was the original manufacturer,” said Paul McElhinney, president
and CEO of GE’s Power Services. “Over the past year, Power Services
has worked to fully integrate Alstom’s expertise within GE’s
portfolio, allowing us to provide customized solutions for
operators that deliver better performance and value for their
entire fleets. These service capabilities will prove vital now and
in the coming years. While the world will experience fluctuating
demands for energy in various regions, over the long term, the
demand for power is expected to rise by 50 percent over the next 20
to 25 years, placing a greater priority on utilities to keep their
existing generation assets operating at optimal performance
levels.”
Fleet360 applies to services, upgrades, repairs, parts,
multiyear agreements, operations and maintenance—as well as GE’s
advanced digital solutions—for assets supplied by GE and other
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). With its cross-fleet
services solutions, GE services more than 90 brands of gas and
steam turbines, generators, boilers and other balance of plant
equipment, providing greater value to operators seeking to increase
the performance of their existing power generation equipment.
The Fleet360 services portfolio was built on the integration of
GE and Alstom’s expertise over the past year. Representing the
first integration of GE and Alstom Power’s steam turbine
technologies, GE introduced its new Enhanced Steam Path (ESP)
upgrade solution for D-10 and D-11 steam turbines operating in
Europe and other 50-hertz regions following the ESP introduction in
60-hertz countries. ESP was introduced to help utilities and
industrial operators boost the efficiency and output of their
existing combined-cycle power plants.
Today, the company also achieved a new advanced manufacturing
success resulting from GE and Alstom’s combined commitment in
“additive manufacturing” technology: the installation of the
world’s largest 3-D printed part in its GT13E2 gas turbine at
Vattenfall’s Heizkraftwerk Berlin-Mitte power plant in Germany. The
3-D printed Combustor Zone 1 Segment, which was manufactured at
GE’s plant in Birr, Switzerland, weighs 4.5 Kg and is the size of a
laptop.
To support the life cycle needs of its Fleet360 projects, GE now
operates a global network of more than 50 repair shops that are
strategically located for agile responsiveness and offer customized
repairs to shorten operator downtime.
