INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Growth in Energy Demand
Today, one out of every six people in the world is without access to electricity. Power demand is
growing globally and access to reliable, affordable electricity is a critical enabler for economic growth ENERGY DRIVERS CAPACITY DRIVERS

GDP is expected to grow by 3.5 percent annually and the population will increase by about one billion. • Population growth • Economic displacement
In line with these economic and demographic forecasts, the IEA projects that total energy demand • Industrial vs. service sector growth • Peak demand growth

POWER GENERATION TRENDS
PEOPLE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY TODAY Gas is the fastest growing of the fossil fuels and, within the next 18 years, is forecasted to
become the single largest source of installed capacity. By 2040, the OECD/IEA expects gas to
emerge as a power player in the global energy mix, rivaling the popularity of the industry’s
traditional choices: coal and oil.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
It is rare to find a gas-fired power plant that operates the same way it did the day it was commissioned.
Gas-fired power plants have the flexibility to operate with different load factors and characteristics to
achieve the desired economic outcomes every day. This variability is valuable, but only if customers
understand the limitations of their products. GE contemplates these limits when products are first
designed and can help customers optimize performance and profitability by predicting and responding
to construction, plant, and market dynamics.
Over the next decade, there will be ~$1.3 trillion of value to be captured
by plant owners and generators in the digital transformation.
Further changing the operational landscape is the convergence of hardware, digital software, and
advanced analytics. This digital transformation is disrupting the electricity industry, challenging
old models and creating unprecedented opportunities. Power generation is becoming more
reliable, affordable, and sustainable with technologies that lower costs, improve efficiency, and
reduce carbon output.
GE is a strategic partner in this transformation, and can provide masterful guidance and support
as the industry evolves to accommodate flexibility and connectivity challenges.

GAS POWER SYSTEMS CATALOG I INDUSTRY-LEADING CAPABILITIES POWERING THE FUTURE with GAS POWER SYSTEMS
From simple cycle and combined cycle power generation to combined heat and power (CHP),
mechanical drive, and waste-to-power, GE has the experience and gas turbines to serve your
needs. Individual operating schemes are vast and varied, and GE is committed to providing a
flexible portfolio of products to support a full spectrum of operating needs: from fast starts
and load following to get peak customers on the grid quickly, to high availability and reliability
to keep baseload customers online for the long haul.
GE’s portfolio of power generation products provides a sense of certainty in an uncertain world,
delivering the operational flexibility and performance needed to adapt to the rapidly evolving
energy environment. These solutions are deployable to even the most remote of locations with the
harshest of conditions; if you are in need of a localized power source, you can count on GE to deliver.
AT A GLANCE
PANAMA
Panama’s small power grid isn’t conducive to traditional H-class technology, but when
a power company in the country needed a dual fuel solution that could accommodate
imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), they turned to GE. We are delivering highly
efficient, intermediate-sized machines to power a 350 MW combined cycle power
plant that will be Panama’s first natural gas-fired generation plant. Dual fuel capability
will enable the plant to switch sources and maintain consistent availability should
imported LNG fuel become unavailable. This project supports the country’s
2015-2020 National Energy Plan, which aims to generate at least 70 percent of
its power from renewable sources and reduce energy sector emissions.

GAS POWER SYSTEMS CATALOG I TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP POWERING THE FUTURE with GAS POWER SYSTEMS
GE’s technology heritage is unparalleled in the power generation industry. Technology innovation,
coupled with vast fleet experience from our installed base, is expanding our domain expertise
in core energy industry disciplines such as materials science, aerodynamics, combustion, and
heat transfer. Additive technology is increasingly disrupting how we design, build, and service our
products. These advancements translate to more power and more efficient power, which reduces
life cycle costs and maximizes profitability for our customers.

• Geometry optimization to reduce equipment cost
A digital transformation is also disrupting the status quo, bridging the gap between data extraction
and meaningful utilization. Traditional power plants operate using multiple machines and each machine
has its own system to measure and/or monitor performance. GE is working to consolidate and manage
data to provide that “single pane of glass” that operations management and staff need to see how
operations are performing across the plant and across multiple plants.

HRSG PORTFOLIO
HRSG technology is critical to combined cycle efficiency. At GE, each HRSG solution is custom GE’s HRSGs
engineered to meet our customers’ operating flexibility and performance requirements. We have more
than 1,250 HRSGs installed worldwide and recently acquired Doosan Engineering & Construction’s
HRSG business, a previous HRSG supplier of choice for GE and a licensee of Alstom.
This expanded portfolio of products and services brings the engineering and manufacturing
of all major combined cycle power plant components in-house. For our customers, this means
seamless integration with other major components and, when combined with our Digital Power
Plant solutions, ensures the best construction and operational experience. Our whole system
approach provides high power output and efficiency as well as improved plant operability
