The first uprated version of BE's LM2500 generator set will produce an extra 1500 kW (2000 hp) for Provinciale Noordbrabantse Elektricitiets Maatschappij's (PNEM) Helmond power station in the Netherlands. Unlike conventional LM2500s, this natural-gas fueled unit carried a 21,500 kW baseload rating; moreover, it operates at a higher firing temperature, a hotter exhaust, an increased mass flow, and an improved system heat rate. Although the unit is currently slated for simple-cycle operation, PNEM plants to shift its role to combined service through retrofitting an exhaust-heat-recovery steam generator and turbine - perhaps as early as 1984.
