Background
The power station is being built at the premises of the gas-fired Johnsonville Combustion Turbine Plant.[4] TVA has operated the plant since 1975. It has long featured 20 GE Vernova simple-cycle combustion turbines with a combined generation capacity of 1,428Combustion MW. Now, the facility is being expanded by adding 500 MW of peaking aeroderivative combustion turbines.[5] According to Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, units GT1-9 and G10-16 at the Johnsonville Combustion Turbine Plant are planned to be retired in 2025 when the new Johnsonville Combustion Turbine Plant 2 becomes operational in July 2025. The installed capacity of each unit is 65.8 MW.[6]
TVA has ordered 10 GE Vernova LM6000VELOX packages with the DLE option for its dual-fuel capability, high-cyclic life, and fast start time. This enables the utility to add anywhere from 50 to 500 MW to the grid within five minutes whenever needed due to an emergency, peak utilization, or a sudden falloff of wind or solar. The LM6000VELOX package contains the LM6000 PF+, which offers anywhere from 53.9 to 57.1 MW, depending on whether it uses the SPRINT version to produce an additional power boost. The turbines can also burn up to 100% hydrogen, if desired.[7]
