Full Speed and Full Load
Adjacent to our Aero Depot, the world’s only LM6000 PC / PD string-test facility enables us to test overhauled LM6000 PC and PD turbines and execute our hydrogen fuel R&D program under simulated real-world conditions while decoupled from the grid.
Verify PC or PD Performance
Our facility includes a custom-built 60-MW load bank and two complete control systems, which enable full testing of both LM6000 PC and PD engines. This exclusive setup enables complete performance checks for output, heat rate, and vibration.
Evolving LMs for a Low-Carbon Economy
More than a proving ground for overhauled and repaired LM6000 engines, our string-test facility is also the centerpiece of our R&D initiative. We aim to commercialize hydrogen use for aeroderivative engines starting with a 35-percent mix and scaling up to 100-percent clean fuel.
