From combined-cycle to nuclear applications, GE Steam Power’s hydrogen and water-cooled generator series has been installed in over 680 generating units. Operationally flexible, each machine fits the end user’s operation requirements.
Continuously evolving technology
The first Gigatop 2-pole generator was developed in the 1970s and has improved continuously ever since, based on operating experience feedback.
Efficient and flexible
The cooling system sustains a high level of efficiency. Its unique press plate provides higher reactive power and stabilization in case of grid disturbance.
Configured to reduce lifecycle maintenance
No cleaning of stator bar hollow conductors made of stainless steel, no water box leaks to repair, no O-rings replacement between water chambers and Teflon hoses, no wedge replacement but retightening of existing wedges.
