Additional information
The LM6000 Hybrid Electric Gas Turbine (Hybrid EGT) system supports SCE’s increasing renewable energy capacity by providing quick start, fast ramping capabilities when they are needed. The unit integrates a 10 MW/ 4.3 MWh battery energy storage system capable of immediately providing power with GE’s proven 50MW LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine. The project is the first of two units that GE has delivered for SCE only months after announcing initial deployment plans of this innovative technology. The Energy Storage System is funded by Southern California Edison.
