The '''General Electric LMS100''' is an aero derivative [[gas turbine]] produced by [[GE Power|GE Distributed Power]].

==Design and development==

The LMS100 PA produces approximately 100 MW at an efficiency of around 46% [[Lower heating value|LHV]] in open cycle operation.  It is currently the largest and most efficient aero-derivative [[gas turbine]]. It is able to produce full rated power in under 10 minutes.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}

The LMS100 comprises a low-pressure compressor, an intercooler, a supercore and a power turbine.  The supercore (comprising a HP compressor, compressor rear frame, high-pressure turbine and intermediate pressure turbine) is a further development of the [[General Electric LM6000|LM6000]], which in turn was based on the [[General Electric CF6|CF6-80C2]].  The low-pressure compressor is from the 6FA industrial gas turbine.

The first LMS100 engine entered commercial operation in July 2006 and a second unit in 2008. Other operational LMS100 power stations are at [[Laredo, Texas|Laredo, TX]] (USA), [[El Paso, Texas|El Paso, TX]] (USA), [[Firebaugh, California|Firebaugh, CA]] (USA), [[Waterbury, Connecticut|Waterbury, CT]] (USA), Santiago (Chile),  Guemes (Argentina) YPF Anello (2) (Argentina), Loma Campana, (2) Neuquen (Argentina), [[Edmonton|Edmonton (Canada)]], Calpine Corporation's Cumberland station in [[Millville, New Jersey]], [[Stratford Power Station]] in New Zealand (opened in May 2011), [[Kwinana Power Station]] in Western Australia (opened in 2012),<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.powermecltd.com/files/ww/Project%20List.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2012-02-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140811030148/http://www.powermecltd.com/files/ww/Project%20List.pdf |archive-date=2014-08-11 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Dzhubginskaya, Russia (opened in 2013),<ref>http://www.pennenergy.com/articles/pennenergy/2013/11/gas-power-ge-lms100-pb-turbines-begin-first-commercial-operation-in-russia.html</ref> and [[Tempe, Arizona|Tempe, AZ]] (5) (USA) (operational in 2019).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.azenergyfuture.com/blog-details/2018/Ocotillo-Modernization-Project-keeping-a-lower-profile/default.aspx|title = Clean energy}}</ref> LADWP (multiple sites, Long Beach (6), Playa Del Rey (2), City of Industry (5) ) Palm Springs (8), Otay Mesa (3) Excellon (2) Massachusetts

The LMS100 PA gas turbines utilize water injection for [[NOx]] control.  The LMS100 PB gas turbine uses dry low NOx (DLE) combustors.  The first LMS100 PB unit entered commercial operation in 2013.<ref>http://www.pennenergy.com/articles/pennenergy/2013/11/gas-power-ge-lms100-pb-turbines-begin-first-commercial-operation-in-russia.html</ref>
