HRSG technology is critical to combined-cycle efficiency.
With engineering and manufacturing of all major components of a combined-cycle power plant inhouse, GE supplies HRSGs that deliver optimized performance, operating flexibility and improved reliability for even the most demanding project requirements.
HRSG technology is critical to plant efficiency, which is why GE’s whole system approach provides high power output and efficiency as well as improved plant operability.
GE offers a choice of various modular construction options that provide the degree of prefabrication that best fits your specific project site requirements. GE provides four basic options of prefabricated pressure parts modules:
Harp Bundle
Modules
C-Frame
Fully assembled
In addition to these options, GE offers even more constructability features like shop installed vents and drains, shop installed l.b. valves, drum modules and stack in cans.
Numerous integrated scope options are available, including supplementary firing for peak power output, SCR, CO catalysts for emissions control, accessories for noise abatement, and exhaust gas bypass systems for simple cycle operation in combined-cycle configuration. All options can be equipped with GE’s Life Monitor System (LM) that provides operators the ability to monitor life consumption on key life limiting components online.
GE’s horizontal gas flow HRSGs provide higher reliability at cycling operating conditions due to innovative single-row harp configuration in the front (hot) end of the HRSG, which produces up to three times less stress than conventional multi-row harps. This design is tailored for fast starts, rapid response, and low turndown.
GE HRSGs incorporate and combine HRSG technologies and best practices from Alstom and Doosan enabling the supply of HRSGs of the highest quality, reliability and availability.
GE’s OT technology offers the following advantages:
1931: First commercial OT utility boiler
1994 to 2000: Executed 34 HRSGs with GE OT technology
Since 2010: 4 HRSGs in commercial operation using licensed Siemens Benson OT technology
2011-2015: Start of proprietary OT technology: Evolution of the proven in-house technology with significant improvements in drainability and low load stability, validated at the 50 MW HRSG test facility in Switzerland
September 2015: Technology validation at the 50 MW HRSG test facility in Switzerland
2016-Jan. 2020: Sold 7 HRSGs with this evolved and improved OT technology
Sept. 2020: Win of Hsinta & Taichung in Taiwan with 10 OT HRSGs behind 7HA.03 GTs
Jan. 2021: First next gen GE OT HRSGs in commercial operation (Track 4A behind 9HA.02 GT)
The purchasing, fabrication, welding and quality control of high-grade alloy materials is critical. With in-house manufacturing of pressure part modules, GE delivers highly reliable HRSGs maximizing quality assurance for the most demanding project requirements. GE has two HRSG manufacturing facilities: One in Changwon, South Korea, and the other in Dung Quat, Vietnam.

The Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO) was seeking a small block, high efficiency power solution to burn imported LNG on Korea’s Jeju Island, a top tourist destination. The region’s small power grid cannot accommodate large H-class or F-class technology, even when burning LNG. Featuring two 6F.03 gas turbines, minimal greenhouse gas emissions and a low LCOE, the Jeju LNG combined-cycle power plant is expected to serve KOMIPO’s long-term operational needs, supplying about 20% of the total power demand to the Jeju region.
increased output
years added to asset life
"GE’s state-of-art technology and full solution capabilities made them the right choice for our project needs. The 250 MW Jeju power plant will provide reliable and efficient electricity to address Jeju Island’s increasing power needs and contribute to its further growth."
Mr. Changkil Chung
President and CEO, KOMIPO
GE’s HRSG life monitoring solution enables plant operators to flag potential problems before they escalate. Monitoring HRSG performance and condition mitigates potential risks by providing live information on things like creep and fatigue that can occur due to increased cycling.
"With the market shifting, we have to be more flexible. This is an easy-to-use tool that keeps us informed of what’s happened in the past and what is happening in the present so we can make better decisions for the future."
