    • Power Output: 250-300 MW.
    • Applications: Combined cycle and simple cycle power plants.
    • Features: High thermal efficiency (up to 62% in combined cycle), robust reliability.
    • Fuel: Natural gas or liquid fuels.

  2. 9F-Series (9F.03, 9F.05):

    • Power Output: 300-430 MW.
    • Applications: Base-load and peaking power generation.
    • Features: Flexible operation with fast ramp-up times and high efficiency.

  3. HA-Series (7HA, 9HA):
