AE94.2
The Gas Turbine for a Flexible Approach

The AE94.2 Gas Turbine meets customer needs in terms

of performance, emissions and operational/fuel flexibility for
intermediate-class gas turbines, by delivering a competitive
and cost-effective package based on established technology.
The latest continuous improvements have been made available for previous releases through a retrofittable package.
The special AE94.2K version of this gas turbine can also
burn low-BTU fuels and high H2 content gas.

A benchmark in flexibility
The AE94.2 gas turbine is a benchmark for both operational
and fuel flexibility. The ability to adapt rapidly to provide the
requested grid power is becoming more and more important:
start up and loading time: full speed no load reached
in less than 5 minutes and baseload conditions
about 15 minutes later. Fast loading gradient
procedures can reduce this time to about 6 minutes
best dynamic performance during grid support: 40 MW in
few seconds is a well proven result on several units.
The AE94.2 is the best solution to satisfy increasing market
demand of greater fuel flexibility:
optimum operation with a broad variety of fuel

compositions and characteristics (from naphtha to heavy
oil, fuel gas from different sources: refinery, blast furnaces,
dwells, etc.).

 gas/oil fuel change-over: can be performed across

almost the entire load range and carried out in as little as
a few minutes in certain conditions
mixed operation (concurrent combustion of gas and oil):
this mode is particularly useful when neither fuel gas nor
fuel oil can be supplied in sufficient quantities to achieve
the base load.
Low emissions for challenging targets

AE94.2K - Matching customer fuel flexibility needs

with a tailored solution
Ansaldo Energia has been working on the use of low caloric
value gas in heavy duty gas turbines since 1997. The special AE94.2K version, specifically designed for low BTU fuels
(syngas, steel mill, blast furnace gases, biomass, etc.), can
burn fuels with LHV in the range 8-13 MJ/kg and lower.
The combustion system, including the modification to allow
it to burn a wide range of fuels, has been patented.
