About the GE MS7001 (Frame 7 / Model 7000):





The General Electric MS7001 (Frame 7 / Model 7000) is a single-shaft, axial-flow, heavy-duty, industrial-design 60 Hz gas turbine with a power output (in simple-cycle operation) in the range of 85 to 172 MW, depending on model - or up to 400 MW combined cycle. The new 7HA.03 is the highest capacity 60 Hz gas turbine with 430 MW simple cycle output and 640 MW in 1x1 CC and 1,282 MW in 2x1 CC.



Application:

Utility and industrial power generation installations, including cogeneration and combined-cycle plants and mechanical load drive duty.



Sponsor:

The Model 7000 was privately developed by the prime contractor.



Status:

In production.



Total Produced:

According to GE Energy, a total of 1,100 F-class units had been installed by 2017. At that time, GE had sold 70 HA turbines and shipped 40, of which 23 were already in operation.



Competition:

The Model 7000 faces competition from gas turbine machines built by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) and Siemens.



Outlook:

1) New 7HA.03 gas turbine offers improved power output and greater efficiency; 2) First units sold day after product announced; 3) Problems with blade corrosion already under control; and 4) Additional, greater-output versions of 7H family likely to be released.
