request info call 303-809-1189 2 units available now
The Baker Hughes NovaLT16 is a 16.9 mW industrial gas turbine generator available in 50 Hz and 60 Hz configurations. It blends the structural robustness of frame turbines with the modular serviceability of aeroderivatives, achieving up to 36.4% simple-cycle efficiency.
With a 35,000-hour maintenance interval, DLN automapping, and native hydrogen capability, it represents a compelling combination of low operating cost and long-term fuel flexibility for industrial and utility power generation operators.
Why aren’t we more specific about price/quantity/source? Most of the generators we offer are from companies that need to unload their equipment quietly, because of canceled projects or failed financing. We are only allowed to list them on the condition that we not display identifying information. If you want more details, contact us.
Core Characteristics
- Power Output: 16.9 MW electrical output at ISO conditions
- Fuel Type: Natural gas primary; capable of operating on 100% hydrogen without hardware modification
- Frequency: Dual-frequency capable — 50 Hz and 60 Hz configurations available
- Efficiency: Up to 36.4% simple-cycle efficiency; up to 84% thermal efficiency in combined heat and power
- Emissions: 15 ppm NOx at ISO conditions; 9 ppm available on request
Design & Performance
- Industrial-duty construction: High-performance axial-flow compressor and annular combustion chamber designed for continuous-duty reliability
- Fuel flexibility: Accepts natural gas, hydrogen blends, and 100% hydrogen — no hardware changes required for hydrogen operation
- Modular maintainability: Targets 24-hour engine swap; 35,000-hour MTBM without boroscope inspections reduces downtime and service costs
- Operational track record: NovaLT16 draws on Baker Hughes’s broad gas turbine fleet experience, combining proven frame and aeroderivative technologies
