     the Equipment based on the contractual definition. Changes in scope after
     such a release will be handled under the change provision as set forth in
     the contract.

     The purchaser will make commercially reasonable effort to promptly off load
equipment and release rails. Project Specific Definition shall mean (i)
configuration changes, if any, to the base configuration (i.e., acceptance or
rejection of any and all equipment options); (ii) site conditions and fuel
analysis (oil analysis and gas analysis through C14), (iii) environmental
requirements; and (iv) state, local and other regulatory or code requirements
(including seismic and wind loading design requirements).


c) Delay Liquidated Damages (Drawings and Shipment of Major Components)

     The Seller's aggregate liability hereunder for a) Drawing Liquidated
     Damages and b) Shipment Liquidated Damages (collectively known as "Delay
     Liquidated Damages") shall

                                       Page 3

<PAGE>



     not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price of unit in Delay. The
     Delay Liquidated Damages paid by Seller for such delay shall be Purchaser's
     exclusive remedy and Seller's sole obligation.

ARTICLE SC.6  PERFORMANCE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

The Seller guarantees the performance of each Unit ("Performance Guarantees") as
set forth in Tab 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of Seller's Technical Proposal. Subject to

     ------------------ ------------------------ -----------------------
</TABLE>

If when first tested the Equipment fails to achieve the guaranteed output or
heat rate, Seller shall be afforded a period of 180 days during which it can
correct and adjust the Equipment (the "Correction Period"). If, when re-tested
at the end of the Correction Period, the Equipment again fails to achieve the
guaranteed output or heat rate, Seller shall pay to Buyer as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty a sum calculated in accordance with the table above. The
liquidated damages payable in respect of deficiencies in performance shall not
exceed ten percent10% of the Contract Price of the unit that fails to achieve
the guaranteed output or heat rate. The liquidated damages shall be Seller's
sole and exclusive liability for performance deficiencies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the performance of any Unit exceeds
any of its performance guarantees (on natural gas or distillate), a credit shall
be given using the same dollar value by which the liquidated damage is
calculated for such performance guarantee. GE's performance credit or
performance liability shall be the net calculation. It is expressly understood
that in the event GE's performance credits exceed performance liabilities, ODEC
shall pay GE, as a bonus, fifty percent (50%) of the dollar value by which the
liquidated damage is calculated but only on the portion of performance credits
which are in excess of performance liabilities. The performance bonus payable in
respect of exceeding performance standards shall not exceed five 5% of the
Contract Price. Performance LD's will be paid on only one fuel.

ARTICLE SC.7  TOTAL AGGREGATE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

The Seller's overall aggregate liability hereunder for both Performance
Liquidated Damages and Delay Liquidated Damages shall not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the Contract Price. The

<PAGE>

ARTICLE GC.16 PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES

Seller guarantees the performance of the Unit as set forth in the Contract
Documents. A performance test shall be run to demonstrate that Seller's
Performance Guarantees have been achieved. This test shall be performed using
the Seller's testing protocol (GEI-41067D) and shall be conducted immediately
following the start-up period after Seller has conducted final check-out of the
Unit. If Seller's Performance Guarantees have not been achieved, Seller shall
pay Performance Liquidated Damages as indicated in the Agreement. However,
Seller will be allowed a cure period of 180 days immediately following the
initial performance test during which Performance Liquidated Damages will be
deferred, and Seller shall make all repairs, replacements, or other corrections
as required for the Unit to meet the Performance Guarantees. During the cure
period, Purchaser shall make the Unit available to Seller for such corrective
action. At the end of the cure period, if the Unit does not meet Seller's
Performance Guarantees, Seller shall then pay Purchaser the appropriate
Performance Liquidated Damages. Seller may at any time during the cure period,
at its option, pay Purchaser the appropriate Performance Liquidated Damages.

The initial performance test shall be performed by Purchaser at its cost. The
Seller shall be notified of, and shall be represented at all such tests. If a
re-test is required and to the extent Seller was the cause of such re-test, the
actual cost of the retest will be borne by the Seller. The actual cost of the
re-test shall mean (i) cost of special test personnel or special operating
personnel provided by the Purchaser, (ii) cost of special instrumentation and
equipment (including rental cost) and including required calibration of the
instrumentation, and (iii) Seller's personnel cost, but in no event whatsoever

specifically noted above.

In conducting the initial performance test or re-tests, the performance of the
Unit shall not be adjusted for degradation until such Unit has operated in
excess of one hundred (100) hours. The Seller's degradation curve shall be used
to determine the adjustment for Unit output and Unit heat rate.

The Seller shall be allowed ninety (90) days from first roll of the Unit to
complete Unit checkouts, including adjustments or corrections to make the Unit
ready for testing prior to the initial performance test.

In the event Seller is liable to Purchaser for liquidated damages in accordance
with the provisions herein for the failure to meet any performance guarantee ,
the calculation of such liquidated damages shall include a credit when any
performance guarantee of any Unit is demonstrated to have been better than the
guarantee values. Seller's credit or liability shall be the net calculation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Seller is liable for Performance
Liquidated Damages on both natural gas and distillate oil fuels, the Seller
shall only be obligated to pay the Performance Liquidated Damage on the fuel
which results in the greater compensation to the Purchaser.

for which this Contract does not provide exclusive remedies);

Prior to termination for breach, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written
notice of the nature of such breach and Purchaser's intention to terminate for
Seller's default subject to reasonable opportunity for Seller to cure such
breach. If Seller fails: (i) to commence and diligently to pursue a cure of such
failure within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice or within
such extended period as is considered reasonable by the Parties, or (ii) to
provide reasonable evidence that such default does not in fact exist, Purchaser
may terminate the Contract.

If Purchaser fails to fulfill any payment conditions as set forth in the
Contract, Seller shall have the right to suspend all work on the Unit after
twenty (20) days of non-payment of undisputed amounts and any cost incurred by
Seller in accordance with such suspension (including storage costs) shall be
payable by Purchaser upon submission of Seller's invoice(s). Performance of
Seller's obligations shall be extended for a period of time to overcome the
effects of such suspension. If Purchaser does not correct such failure within
sixty (60) days, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract for
cause in respect to the portion of the Unit which title has not passed.

If Seller terminates this Contract for Purchaser's breach as provided above,
Seller's termination charges shall be paid by Purchaser as set forth in Schedule
B of the Agreement. If Purchaser terminates this Contract for Seller's breach,
Purchaser will not pay any termination charges and Seller will promptly refund

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5  Design Philosophy - Using Proven Technology

              The reliability of the GE heavy duty gas turbines results from a
              design philosophy centered on the principle of geometric scaling.
              Under this principle, the geometric similarity of components is
              maintained while units are scaled up or down in operating speed
              and output. Because of this, operating factors such as
              temperatures, pressures, blade angles and stresses are kept
              constant, while critical cycle parameters of pressure ratios and
              efficiency are maintained. In this way, all new machines build on
              the proven reliability and performance of their predecessors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.6  Reliability and Availability

              GE heavy duty gas turbines lead the industry in reliability and
              availability statistics. One key factor in the unmatched
              reliability of GE's gas turbines is the redundancy built into GE's
              state-of-the-art gas turbine control system. Because this
              microprocessor-based turbine control system employs a distributed
              processor and a redundant architecture, its overall performance is
              unmatched in the industry. The control system uses independent
              digital controllers to achieve the reliability of triple
              redundancy for the turbine control and protective functions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.7  Prepackaged for Rapid Installation

              The MS7001(EA) is prepackaged to assure fast installation with
              minimum installation cost. The gas turbine and accessory
              compartments contain the turbo machinery as well as the mechanical
              and electrical support equipment for starting, operation and
              shutdown. With the packaging concept, the majority of the
              supporting equipment is skid-mounted and the locations
              standardized.

              A unique accessory packaging concept features an improved "split
              base" design. The "split base" design maximizes factory piping and
              wiring, requiring less assembly work in the field. The arrangement
              of components also reduces site interconnection requirements and
              provides easier access to accessory components during operation
              and maintenance.

              The MS7001(EA) generator is designed for compactness and ease of
              maintenance. Like the gas turbine, it features maximum packaging
              and proven reliability resulting in low installation and
              maintenance costs.

<PAGE>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.8  Reduced Maintenance Costs

              When assessing improvements to gas turbine equipment, GE maintains
              a strict adherence to key design parameters affecting maintenance.
              The advantage of analysis and feedback from the largest fleet of
              gas turbines enables GE to develop design improvements and better
              maintenance procedures.

              To keep customers informed of such new technology, GE conducts Gas
              Turbine User and Maintenance Seminars and issues technical
              publications to GE customers. The operating data from the vast
              fleet of gas turbines in service, coupled with an evolutionary
              design philosophy, enable GE to keep customers abreast of the
              latest advances and know-how in servicing and supporting their
              units.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.9  Emissions

              GE's gas turbine technology has been developed to meet the ever
              lower emissions levels required in today's applications.
              Can-annular combustors with film and impingement cooling meet the
              environmental requirements for applications throughout the world
              and provide reliable operation at high firing temperatures. GE is
              the world's most experienced supplier of Dry Low NOx, diluent
              injected, and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) systems that
              meet today's demanding emissions requirements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.10 Experience

              GE is the world's leading supplier of gas turbines with four times
              the installed base of its nearest competitor. GE's heavy duty gas
              turbines are in service in countries all over the world in diverse
              climates and operating conditions.

              With this kind of record, GE is able to continuously build in
              technology improvements, maintenance advancements, and cost
              reduction strategies for the life of each new plant.

              The MS7001(EA) builds on a tradition of technological leadership
              that has made GE gas turbines the standard by which all others
              have been measured for over four decades. Today, GE's gas turbine
              product line is the most efficient, most reliable, and most proven
              in the market.

                   The following also apply to the performance guarantees:

                   . Performance is measured at the generator terminals and
                     includes allowances for excitation power and the
                     shaft-driven equipment normally supplied.

                   . Guarantees are based on new and clean condition of the gas
                     turbine. If more than 100 fired hours have elapsed before a
                     performance test is to be conducted, a GE representative
                     shall have the right to inspect the unit to assure that the
                     power plant is in new and clean condition.

                   . Guarantees are based on a site test conducted as described
                     in the Reference Documents chapter and per the Terms and
                     Conditions of this offer.

                   . Performance curves for both the turbine and generator are
                     included in the Performance Curves section of this
                     proposal. From these curves it is possible to determine
                     estimated performance at ambient temperatures, percent
                     loads, and barometric conditions differing from those
                     listed in the above design basis table. These curves are
                     used during the site

                 Procedure in the Reference Documents chapter of this proposal.

     3.1.3       Acoustics Guarantees

     3.1.3.1     Near Field Noise Values

                 The near field sound pressure level (SPL) contribution from the
                 GE supplied equipment is guaranteed not to exceed 85 dBA (ref.
                 20 micropascals) when measured 3 feet (1 meter) in the
                 horizontal plane and at an elevation of 5 feet (1.5 meters)
                 above machine base line or personnel platforms with the
                 equipment operating at base load in accordance with contract
                 specifications.

     3.1.3.1.1   Basis of Guarantee

                 The following also apply to the above guarantee:

                 .    Testing methodology shall be based on the latest version
                      of ANSI/ASME PTC 36. The final result shall be the
                      arithmetic average of the SPL's measured around the
                      equipment after background and other corrections have been
                      applied. The equipment shall be in compliance if the final
                      result does not exceed the noise limit(s) specified above.

                 .    Equipment shall be operated in a new and clean condition
                      as intended by the designers when measurements are taken.
                      All access compartments, doors, panels and other temporary
                      openings shall be fully closed; all silencing hardware
                      shall be fully installed; all systems designed to be
                      airtight shall be sealed.

                 .    If the above guaranteed SPL exceeds the measured
                      background noise by 10 dBA, no correction shall be
                      necessary. Otherwise, corrections to the measured SPL
                      shall be made per ANSI/ASME PTC 36 procedures.

                 Background noise is defined as the noise measured with all GE
                 supplied equipment off and all other plant equipment on.

               . Intermittent noises such as steam safety blow off valves and
                 filter pulse noise are not included in the above guarantee.

               . Measurements shall be taken 3 feet (1 meter) away from the
                 outermost surfaces of equipment, including piping, conduit,
                 framework, barriers and personnel protection devices if
                 provided.

               . Measurements shall not be taken in any location where there is
                 an airflow velocity greater than 5 feet per second (1.5 meters
                 per second), including nearby air intakes or exhausts.

               . Free field conditions must be prevalent at measurement
                 locations. Testing and for and corrections to a free field
                 shall be per ANSI/ASME PTC 36.

               . Testing shall be done according to a test plan agreed to by
                 both the customer and GE. Such a plan shall be submitted to
                 both the customer and GE at least 30 days prior to noise
                 compliance testing. The test results shall be submitted in the
                 form of a test report that shall be made available to both the
                 customer and GE.

               Measurement responsibility shall be stated in the contract. If
               the customer has responsibility for the compliance measurements,
               GE reserves the right to audit or parallel these measurements.

                          5. Plant Operating Philosophy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1     Introduction

                          This section describes the startup, on-line operation
                          and shutdown of a simple-cycle power plant. The
                          following paragraphs briefly describe the general
                          operating philosophy and operator's responsibilities
                          for simple-cycle operation. The description is of a
                          general nature. Specifics may vary pending detail
                          design definition.

        5.1.1             Simple-Cycle Mode of Operation

                          The gas turbine power plant can be started from the
                          control panel of the gas turbine control system. Plant
                          permissive circuits must be satisfied that the unit is
                          capable of coming to full speed and synchronizing to
                          the system. Systems must be placed in the ready to
                          start mode:

                          . MCC breakers set in automatic mode

                          . Cooling water module local disconnect switches
                            closed

                          . Fuel systems made ready

                          . Gas turbine/generator permissive to start systems
                            ready

        5.1.2             Starting and Loading

                          All starting is done automatically, with the operator
                          given the opportunity to hold the startup sequence at
                          either the crank (pre-ignition) or fire
                          (post-ignition, pre-accelerate) points of the startup.
                          An "Auto" mode selection results in a start without
                          any holds. Either before issuing a start command, or
                          during the start, the operator may make the following
                          selections.

                          . Select or disable the automatic synchronization
                            capability of the gas turbine control system. Auto
                            synch utilizes the proven microsynchronizer first
                            introduced in the SPEEDTRONIC(TM) Mark II
                            generation. The microsynchronizer provides extremely
                            accurate and repeatable breaker

                 closures based on phase angle, slip, the slip's rate of change
                 and the response time of the breaker which is stored in the
                 system memory.

               . Selection of Preselected (Intermediate) Load or Base Load. If a
                 selection is made, the unit will automatically load to the
                 selected point and control there. If no selection is made, the
                 unit will load to a low load referred to as "Spinning Reserve"
                 after synchronization. The turbine governor is automatically
                 regulated to maintain the megawatt setting assigned to
                 "Spinning Reserve".

     5.1.3     Operating

               Once the unit is on line, it may be controlled either manually or
               automatically from the gas turbine control system operator
               interface.

               Manual control is provided by the governor raise/lower control
               displayed on the operator interface screen. Automatic operation
               is switched on when the operator selects load points (preselect
               or base) from the turbine control interface.

               For a fully automatic start with automatic loading to base load,
               the operator selects the "Auto" operating mode, enables auto
               synchronization and selects "Base" load. Given a "Start" signal,
               the unit will then start, synchronize and load to Base load with
               no further input on the part of the operator.

     5.1.4     Shutdown

               On shutdown, the system will automatically unload, coast down and
               initiate slow speed rotation until proper wheelspace cooldown
               temperatures are reached.

                               6. Test Philosophy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.1 Simple-Cycle Power Plant Performance Test Philosophy

    6.1.1            General

                     Performance guarantees for the power plant include
                     electrical output and heat rate. Compliance with these
                     guarantees is determined by an input/output test for the
                     plant. The test includes measurements of additional
                     parameters required to assure that the plant is operating
                     at contract conditions and to enable correction of measured
                     performance to the basis for guarantee conditions.

                     The performance guarantees apply to equipment in new and
                     clean condition.

                     This test must be conducted as soon as possible after the
                     initial startup. The compressor is cleaned per the
                     Compressor Cleaning specification found in the Reference
                     Documents chapter and inspected by the GE representative.
                     The GE representative will be the sole judge with respect
                     to condition of the gas turbine at the time of testing.

                     Performance test technicians are provided by the customer.
                     GE prepares a detailed test specification that is submitted
                     to the customer for mutual agreement. GE provides the
                     technical direction of the tests. In addition, GE performs
                     calculations to determine performance relative to the
                     guarantees and prepares a test report for submittal to the
                     customer.

                     Instrumentation tolerances are applied to the results of
                     the test based on the accuracy of the individual test
                     measurements and the contract requirements. An analysis of
                     the test measurement uncertainty to be applied is made when
                     the detailed test procedure is complete.

    6.1.2            Procedure

                     Testing is conducted on the gas turbine in accordance with
                     the Field Performance Testing Procedure included in the
                     Reference Documents chapter of this proposal. The gas
                     turbine is brought to steady-state test conditions prior to
                     conducting performance testing. The test includes a
                     demonstration of electrical output, heat rate, and other
                     parameters specified in the proposal. Sufficient data is
                     recorded to determine the equipment performance and to
                     correct it to performance guarantee basis conditions.
                     Corrections are made for operating and climatic conditions
                     that may deviate from the contract

           performance guarantee including compressor inlet air temperature and
           humidity, ambient air pressure, fuel properties and water
           injection, if required.

6.1.3      Performance Evaluation

           The simple-cycle performance test is conducted as described above.

            kWSC   Gas turbine-generator measured electrical output (kW) for
                   simple- cycle mode operation at new and clean condition and
                   corrected to guarantee site conditions.

            kWGT   Gas turbine-generator measured net equipment output (kW) at
                   new and clean conditions.

            kWAD   Gas turbine output corrections to guarantee basis conditions.

            HCGT   Gas turbine heat consumption (106 kJ/h) calculated from fuel
                   flow and lower heating value measured during tests.

            HRSC   Gas turbine net heat rate calculated from measured output and
                   heat consumption corrected to guarantee basis site
                   conditions.

            HRAD   Gas turbine heat rate corrections to guarantee basis site
                   conditions.

           The test procedure includes correction factors and curves for test
           variations in ambient temperature, ambient pressure, ambient relative
           humidity, fuel heating values, and gas turbine water injection. These
           factors are used to correct the measured performance data from actual
           operating conditions to rated contract conditions.

           Output guarantees will be satisfied if the corrected and adjusted
           output (kWsc) surrounded by the uncertainty interval encompasses the
           guaranteed plant output or falls above it. Heat rate guarantee will
           be satisfied if the corrected and adjusted test heat rate (HRsc)
           surrounded by the uncertainty interval encompasses the guaranteed
           plant heat rate or falls below it.

                    At the conclusion of the tests, GE will perform calculations
                    to determine performance relative to guarantee and will
                    issue a report covering the entire testing program.

                               8.      Turbine-Generator

_______________________________________________________________________________
8.1 Gas Turbine Systems

                               The MS7001(EA) gas turbine has a single shaft,
                               bolted rotor with the generator connected to the
                               gas turbine at the turbine or "hot" end. Major
                               components of the MS7001(EA) are described below.

           8.1.1               Compressor Section

                               The axial flow compressor has 17 stages with
                               modulating inlet guide vanes and provides a 12.6
                               to 1 pressure ratio. Interstage air extraction is
                               used for cooling and sealing air for turbine
                               nozzles, wheelspaces, and bearings, and for surge
                               control during start up.

           8.1.1.1             Compressor Rotor

                               The compressor rotor consists of a forward stub
                               shaft with the 1st stage rotor blades, a fifteen
                               blade and wheel assembly for stages 2 to 16, and
                               an aft stub shaft with the stage 17 rotor blades.
                               Rotor blades are inserted into broached slots
                               located around the periphery of each wheel and
                               wheel portion of the stub shaft. The rotor
                               assembly is held together by fifteen axial bolts
                               around the bolting circle. The wheels are
                               positioned radially by a rabbeted fit near the
                               center of the discs. Transmission of torque is
                               accomplished by face friction at the bolting
                               flange.

                               Selective positioning of the wheels is made
                               during assembly to reduce the rotor balance
                               correction. The compressor rotor is dynamically
                               balanced after assembly and again after the
                               compressor and turbine rotors are mated. They are
                               precision balanced prior to assembly into the
                               stator.

           8.1.1.2             Compressor Blade Design

                               The airfoil shaped compressor rotor blades are
                               designed to compress air efficiently at high
                               blade tip velocities. These forged blades are
                               attached to their wheels by dovetail connections.
                               The dovetail is accurately machined to maintain
                               each blade in the desired location on the wheel.

                               The blades in the first two stages of the
                               compressor are Carpenter 450, a martenistic
                               stainless steel with superior strength and
                               corrosion resistance, which does not require a
                               coating.

                     Stator blades utilize square bases for mounting in the
                     casing slots. Blade stages zero through four are mounted by
                     axial dovetails into blade ring segments. The blade ring
                     segments are inserted into circumferential grooves in the
                     casing and are secured with locking rings.

8.1.1.3              Compressor Stator

                     The casing is composed of three major subassemblies: the
                     inlet casing, the compressor casing, and the compressor
                     discharge casing. These components in conjunction with the
                     turbine shell, exhaust frame/diffuser, and combustion
                     wrapper form the compressor stator.

                     The casing bore is maintained to close tolerances with
                     respect to the rotor blade tips for maximum aerodynamic
                     efficiency. Borescope ports are located throughout the
                     machine for component inspection. In addition all casings
                     are horizontally split for ease of handling and
                     maintenance.

8.1.1.3.1            Inlet Casing

                     The primary function of the inlet casing, located at the
                     forward end of the gas turbine, is to direct the air
                     uniformly from the inlet plenum into the compressor. The
                     inlet casing also supports the number 1 radial bearing and
                     thrust bearing assembly and the variable inlet guide vanes,
                     located at the aft end.

8.1.1.3.2            Compressor Casing

                     The compressor casing contains compressor stages 1 through
                     12. Extraction ports in the casing allow bleeds to the
                     exhaust plenum during start-up and extraction of air to
                     cool the second and third stage nozzles.

8.1.1.3.3            Compressor Discharge Casing

                     The compressor discharge casing contains 13th- through
                     17th- stage compressor stators and one row of exit guide
                     vanes. It also provides an inner support for the
                     first-stage turbine nozzle assembly and supports the
                     combustion components. Air is extracted from the compressor
                     discharge plenum to cool the stage one nozzle vane,
                     retaining ring, and shrouds.

                     The compressor discharge casing consists of two cylinders
                     connected by radial struts. The outer cylinder is a
                     continuation of the compressor casing and the inner
                     cylinder surrounds the compressor aft stub shaft. A
                     diffuser is formed by the tapered annulus between the outer
                     and inner cylinders. The compressor

                     discharge casing is joined to the combustion wrapper at the
                     flange on its outermost diameter.

     8.1.2           Turbine Section

                     In the three stage turbine section, energy from hot
                     pressurized gas produced by the compressor and combustion
                     section is converted to mechanical energy. The turbine
                     section is comprised of the combustion wrapper, turbine
                     rotor, turbine shell, exhaust frame, exhaust diffuser,
                     nozzles and diaphragms, stationary shrouds, and aft (number
                     3) bearing assembly.

     8.1.2.1         Turbine Rotor

                     The turbine rotor assembly consists of a forward shaft,
                     three turbine wheels, two turbine spacer wheels, and an aft
                     turbine shaft which includes the number 3 journal bearing.
                     The forward shaft extends from the compressor rotor aft
                     stub shaft flange to the first stage turbine wheel. Each
                     turbine wheel is axially separated from adjacent stage(s)
                     with a spacer wheel. The spacer wheel faces have radial
                     slots for cooling air passages, and the outer surfaces are
                     machined to form labyrinth seals for interstage gas
                     sealing.

                     Selective positioning of rotor members is performed during
                     assembly to minimize balance corrections of the assembled
                     rotor. Concentricity control is achieved with mating
                     rabbets on the turbine wheels, spacers, and shafts. Turbine
                     rotor components are held in compression by bolts. Rotor
                     torque is accomplished by friction force on the wheel faces
                     due to bolt compression.

                     The turbine rotor is cooled by air extracted from
                     compressor stage 17. This air is also used to cool the
                     turbine first- and second-stage buckets plus the rotor
                     wheels and spacers.

     8.1.2.2         Turbine Bucket Design

                     The first-stage buckets use forced air convection cooling
                     in which turbulent air flow is forced through integral
                     cast-in serpentine passages and discharged from holes at
                     the tip of the trailing edge of the bucket. Second-stage
                     buckets are cooled via radial holes drilled by a shaped
                     tube electromechanical machining process. Third-stage
                     buckets do not require air cooling.

                     First-stage buckets are coated for corrosion protection.
                     Second- and third-stage buckets have integral tip shrouds
                     which interlock buckets to provide vibration damping and
                     seal teeth that reduce leakage flow. Turbine buckets are
                     attached to the wheel with fir tree dovetails that fit into
                     matching cutouts at

                     the rim of the turbine wheel. Bucket vanes are connected to
                     the dovetails by shanks which separate the wheel from the
                     hot gases and thereby reduce the temperature at the
                     dovetail.

                     The turbine rotor assembly is arranged to allow buckets to
                     be replaced without having to unstack the wheels, spacers
                     selectively positioned such that they can be replaced
                     individually or in sets without having to rebalance the
                     wheel assembly.

     8.1.2.3         Turbine Stator

                     The turbine stator is comprised of the combustion wrapper,
                     turbine shell, and the exhaust frame. Like the compressor
                     stator, the turbine stator is horizontally split for ease
                     of handling and maintenance. (The aft diffuser is not
                     split.)

     8.1.2.3.1       Combustion Wrapper

                     The combustion wrapper, located between the compressor
                     discharge casing and the turbine shell, facilitates removal
                     and maintenance of the transition pieces and stage one
                     nozzle.

     8.1.2.3.2       Turbine Shell

                     The turbine shell provides internal support and axial and
                     radial positions of the shrouds and nozzles relative to the
                     turbine buckets. This positioning is critical to gas
                     turbine performance. Borescope ports are provided for
                     inspection of buckets and nozzles.

     8.1.2.3.3       Exhaust Frame

                     The exhaust frame is bolted to the aft flange of the
                     turbine shell and consists of an outer and an inner
                     cylinder interconnected by radial struts. The inner
                     cylinder supports the number 3 bearing. The tapered annulus
                     between the outer and inner cylinders forms the axial
                     exhaust diffuser. Gases from the third stage turbine enter
                     the diffuser where the velocity is reduced by diffusion and
                     pressure is recovered, improving performance.

                     Cooling of the exhaust frame, number 3 bearing, and
                     diffuser tunnel is accomplished by off-base motor-driven
                     blowers.

     8.1.2.4         Turbine Nozzle Design

                     The turbine section has three stages of nozzles (stationary
                     blades). The first-and second-stage nozzles are cooled by a
                     combination of film cooling (gas path surface), impingement
                     cooling, and convection cooling in the vane and sidewall
                     regions. The third stage is not cooled.

                     Both the first- and second-stage nozzles consist of 24
                     segments with two vanes in each. The third stage has 32
                     segments with two vanes in each. First-stage turbine nozzle
                     segments are contained by a retaining ring which remains
                     centered in the turbine shell. The second- and third-stage
                     nozzle segments are held in position by radial pins from
                     the shell into axial slots in the nozzle outer sidewall.

     8.1.2.5         Bearings

                     The MS7001(EA) gas turbine contains three journal bearings
                     to support the turbine rotor and one dual direction thrust
                     bearing to maintain the rotor-to-stator axial position. The
                     bearings are located in three housings: one at the inlet,
                     one in the discharge casing and one at the center of the
                     exhaust frame. All bearings are pressure lubricated by oil
                     supplied from the main lubrication oil system. The number 1
                     bearing (journal and thrust) is accessed by removing the
                     top half of the compressor inlet casing, while number 2 is
                     accessed during major overhaul. The number 3 bearing is
                     readily accessible through the tunnel along the centerline
                     of the exhaust diffuser. Bearing protection includes
                     vibration sensors and drain oil temperature thermocouples.

     8.1.3           Combustion System

                     The combustion system uses a reverse flow, multi-chamber
                     (can annular) design in which combustion chambers are
                     arranged around the periphery of the compressor discharge
                     casing. Combustion chambers are connected to adjacent
                     chambers by crossfire tubes as illustrated below.

                     Each chamber contains fuel nozzles and a combustion liner.
                     Specific chambers also contain spark plugs and flame
                     detectors. Transition pieces connect the combustion liners
                     to the turbine nozzles. Each combustion liner, fuel nozzle,
                     and transition piece may be individually replaced if needed
                     for maintenance.

                     These major components of the combustion system are
                     described below.

8.1.4          Dry Low NOx Combustor

               The Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustor is dual stage, multi-mode
               combustor. The major components of the combustor are arranged to
               form two stages in the combustor as illustrated below. Multiple
               primary fuel nozzles are located around the circumference of the
               primary zone. A single secondary nozzle is located along the
               centerline of the combustor within the centerbody. A venturi
               assembly is also included in the second stage.

                         Dry Low NOx Combustion System
                                   (Typical)


                                   [DIAGRAM]



              The various modes of combustion using the DLN combustor are
              described below.

8.1.4.1.1      Primary Mode

               The primary zone is utilized as a diffusion burning zone
               for ignition and low load operation.

8.1.4.1.2      Lean-Lean Mode

               At a given fuel/air ratio in the combustor, fuel is
               introduced through the secondary fuel nozzle and flame is
               established in the secondary zone of the combustor. NOx
               emissions are lowered somewhat in this mode as compared to
               that of the primary mode.

8.1.4.1.3      Premixed Mode

               When the combustor fuel/air ratio is sufficient to support
               a premixed (low NOx) flame, a transfer sequence occurs. All
               of the fuel is first directed through the secondary nozzle
               in order to extinguish the flame in the primary zone. Fuel
               is then reintroduced through the primary nozzles and the
               primary zone

              becomes a premixing zone. A premixed flame is established in
              the secondary zone, anchored by the venturi flame holder.
              The venturi also accelerate the flow between the primary and
              secondary zone which prevents the flame from "flashing back"
              into the primary zone. The fuel is split between the primary
              and secondary fuel nozzles to optimize the emissions
              performance of the combustor. Premixed operation is utilized
              for mid to full load operation on gas fuel only.

8.1.4.2       Combustion Liners

              Within each combustion chamber is a cylindrical liner or a
              liner made up of two cylindrical sections with a conical
              transition section between the two. Discharge air from the
              axial-flow compressor flows forward along the outside of the
              combustion liner, as guided by the flow sleeve. Liner
              cooling is achieved via film cooling with annular slots
              distributed along the length of the combustion liner.

              Thermal barrier coatings are applied to the inner walls of
              the combustion liners for longer inspection intervals.

              Air enters the combustor through a variety of holes in the
              liner and cap and swirlers which are typically a part of the
              fuel nozzles. Depending on the injection location, air is
              utilized for the actual combustion process, for cooling, or
              as dilution to tailor the exhaust gas profile.

8.1.4.3       Transition Pieces

              Transition pieces direct hot gases from the liners to the
              turbine nozzles. The transition pieces have a circular inlet
              for the combustion liners and transition to an annular
              segment at the exit for the turbine nozzles. Seals are
              utilized at both connection locations to control leakage
              flows.

8.1.4.4       Spark Plugs

              Combustion is initiated by discharge from two electrode
              spark plugs each in a different combustion chamber. At the
              time of firing, a spark at one or both of these plugs
              ignites a chamber.

8.1.4.5       Crossfire Tubes

              The combustion chambers are interconnected by means of
              crossfire tubes. These tubes enable flame from the fired
              chambers containing spark plugs to propagate to the unfired

                           flow indication

                        -- Transmitter for supply temperature indication

                        -- Static pressure transducer

8.1.5               Fuel System

8.1.5.1             Gas Fuel System

                    The gas fuel system modulates the gas fuel flow to the
                    turbine. Proper operation of the gas fuel system requires
                    that the gas be supplied to the gas fuel control system at
                    the proper pressure and temperature. The pressure is
                    required to maintain proper flow control. The fuel gas
                    temperature must ensure that the required hydrocarbon
                    superheat is maintained. For discussion of fuel gas supply
                    requirements in the Reference Documents - Process
                    Specification Fuel Gases for Combustion in Heavy-Duty Gas
                    Turbines. Major system components, as shown in the
                    illustration which follows, are described below.

8.1.5.1.1            Strainer

                     A duplex strainer is used to remove impurities from the
                     gas. A pressure switch which monitors the differential
                     across the strainers will signal an alarm through the gas
                     turbine control system when the pressure drop across the
                     strainer indicates cleaning is required.

8.1.5.1.2            Fuel Gas Stop/Speed Ratio and Control Valves

                     The fuel gas stop/speed ratio and control valves allow fuel
                     flow when the turbine starts and runs, control the fuel
                     flow, and provide protective fuel isolation when the
                     turbine is shutdown. In systems with multiple control valve
                     configuration, the control valves also maintain the fuel
                     split among the fuel nozzles.

8.1.5.1.3            Vent Valve

                     When the gas fuel system is shut off, both the stop valve
                     and the control valve(s) are shut. A vent valve is opened
                     between the stop valve and the control valve(s). The vent
                     valve permits the fuel gas to exit to the atmosphere when
                     the turbine is shutdown or switched to an alternate fuel.

8.1.5.1.4            Flow Measurement System

                     The gas fuel flow measurement system uses a flow metering
                     tube with precision orifice. The pressure drop across the
                     orifice is used to determine the fuel flow. To accommodate
                     the large flow turndown, two delta-pressure transducers
                     with different, but over-lapping ranges, are used.

8.1.5.1.5            Fuel Manifold and Nozzles

                     The fuel manifold connects the gas fuel nozzles which
                     distribute the gas fuel into the combustion chambers. For
                     staged combustion systems, more than one manifold is used.

8.1.5.1.6            Piping

                     The gas fuel system uses stainless steel fuel gas piping
                     with carbon steel flanges.

8.1.6                Lubricating and Hydraulic Systems

                     The lubricating provisions for the turbine, generator and
                     accessory gear are incorporated into a common lubrication
                     system. Oil is taken from this system, pumped to a higher
                     pressure, and used in the hydraulic system for all
                     hydraulic oil control system components. The lubrication
                     system includes oil pumps, coolers, filters,
                     instrumentation and control devices, a mist elimination
                     device and an oil reservoir as shown in the system
                     illustration below. Following the illustration is a brief
                     description of the major system components.

8.1.6.1       Pumps

              The lubrication system relies on several pumps to
              distribute oil from the oil reservoir to the systems which
              need lubrication. Similarly, redundant pumps are used to
              distribute high pressure oil to all hydraulic oil control
              system components. These and other oil pumps are listed
              below.

              .   Lubrication oil pumps

                  --  The main lubrication oil gear pump is shaft-driven
                      from the accessory gear.

                  --  A full flow ac motor-driven auxiliary lubrication
                      oil centrifugal pump is provided as backup to the
                      main pump.

                  --  A partial flow, dc motor-driven, emergency
                      lubrication oil centrifugal pump is included as a
                      back-up to the main and auxiliary pumps.

              .   Hydraulic pumps

                  --  The main hydraulic variable displacement piston
                      pump is shaft-driven from the accessory gear.

                  --  An auxiliary ac motor-driven hydraulic pump is
                      provided as backup to the main hydraulic pump.

8.1.6.2       Coolers

              The oil is cooled by dual lubrication oil-to-coolant finned
              90-10 Cu-Ni tube heat exchangers with transfer valve. The
              coolers are U-tube and shell configuration with pull out,
              removable tube bundles. The coolers have an ASME code
              stamp.

8.1.6.3       Filters

              Dual, full flow filters with transfer valves clean the oil
              used for lubrication. Each filter includes a differential
              pressure transmitter to signal an alarm through the gas
              turbine control system when cleaning is required. A
              replaceable cartridge is utilized for easy maintenance.
              Filters have an ASME code stamp.

8.1.6.4              Mist Elimination

                     Lubrication oil mist particles are entrained in the system
                     vent lines by sealing air returns of the gas turbine
                     lubricating system. In order to remove the particles, a
                     lube vent demister is used as an air-exhaust filtration
                     unit. The demister filters the mist particles and vents the
                     air to the atmosphere while draining any collected oil back
                     to the oil reservoir.

                     The lube vent demister assembly consists of a holding tank
                     with filter elements, motor-driven blower, and relief
                     valve. One assembly is provided for the vent line from the
                     lubrication oil reservoir.

8.1.6.5              Oil Reservoir

                     The oil reservoir has a nominal capacity of 2500 gallons
                     (9463 liters) and is mounted within the accessory base. It
                     is equipped with lubrication oil level switches to indicate
                     full, empty, high level alarm, low level alarm, and low
                     level trip. In addition the following are mounted on the
                     reservoir:

                     .  Oil tank thermocouples

                     .  Oil heaters

                     .  Oil filling filter

                     .  Oil reservoir drains

8.1.7                Inlet System

8.1.7.1              General

                     Gas turbine performance and reliability are a function of
                     the quality and cleanliness of the inlet air entering the
                     turbine. Therefore, for most efficient operation, it is
                     necessary to treat the ambient air entering the turbine and
                     filter out contaminants. It is the function of the air
                     inlet system with its specially designed equipment and
                     ducting to modify the quality of the air under various
                     temperature, humidity, and contamination situations and
                     make it more suitable for use. The inlet system consists of
                     the equipment and materials defined in the Scope of Supply
                     chapter of this proposal. The following paragraphs provide
                     a brief description of the major components of the inlet
                     system.

8.1.7.2         Inlet Filtration

8.1.7.2.1       Inlet Filter Compartment

                The self-cleaning inlet filter compartment utilizes high
                efficiency media filters which are automatically cleaned of
                accumulated dust, thereby maintaining the inlet pressure
                drop below a preset upper limit. This design provides
                single-stage high efficiency filtration for prolonged
                periods without frequent replacements. Appropriate filter
                media is provided based on the site specific environmental
                conditions.

                Dust-laden ambient air flows at a very low velocity into
                filter modules which are grouped around a clean-air plenum.
                The filter elements are pleated to provide an extended
                surface. The air, after being filtered, passes through
                venturis to the clean air plenum and into the inlet
                ductwork.

                As the outside of the filter elements become laden with
                dust, increasing differential pressure is sensed by a
                pressure switch in the plenum. When the setpoint is
                reached, a cleaning cycle is initiated. The elements are
                cleaned in a specific order, controlled by an automatic
                sequencer.

                The sequencer operates a series of solenoid-operated
                valves, each of which controls the cleaning of a small
                number of filters. Each valve releases a brief pulse of
                high pressure air into a blowpipe which has orifices
                located just above the filters. This pulse shocks the
                filters and causes a momentary reverse flow, disturbing the
                filter cake. Accumulated dust breaks loose, falls, and
                disperses. The cleaning cycle continues until enough dust
                is removed for the compartment pressure drop to reach the
                lower setpoint. The design of the sequencer is such that
                only a few of the many filter elements are cleaned at the
                same time. As a consequence, the airflow to the gas turbine
                is not significantly disturbed by the cleaning process.

                The filter elements are contained within a fabricated steel
                enclosure which has been specially designed for proper air
                flow management and weather protection.

                Self-cleaning filters require a source of clean air for
                pulse-cleaning. Compressor discharge air is used as the
                pulse air source for filter cleaning. It is reduced in
                pressure, cooled and dried. This air is already clean
                because it has been filtered by the gas turbine's inlet air
                filter. When compressor discharge air is used to pulse the
                filter, cleaning is possible only when the gas turbine is
                running.

   8.1.7.2.2   Evaporative Cooler

               The evaporative cooler is used in applications where significant
               operation occurs in the hot months and where low relative
               humidities are common. With evaporative cooling, water is added
               to the inlet air and, as the water evaporates, the air is cooled.
               The amount of water required for evaporative cooling depends upon
               the airflow through the turbine, the temperature and humidity of
               the ambient air, the amount of hardness in the water and the
               blowdown rate. The exact increase in power available from the gas
               turbine is dependent upon the site conditions.

               The cooler consists of a water distribution system and media
               packed blocks made of corrugated layers of fibrous material.
               Water is distributed over the blocks through one set of channels
               and the air passes over alternate channels. The air side is
               wetted by the wicking action of the media. A drift eliminator is
               installed downstream of the media blocks. This system minimizes
               water carryover.

               The evaporative cooler includes the following:

               . PVC piping

               . Cast iron pump frames

               . Electronic conductivity control for blowdown adjustment

               . Non-redundant water distribution pump(s)

               . Redundant (lead/lag) water distribution pump(s)

   8.1.7.3     Inlet System Instrumentation

   8.1.7.3.1   Inlet System Differential Pressure Indicator

               Standard pressure drop indicator (gauge) displays the pressure
               differential across the inlet filters in inches of water.

   8.1.7.3.2   Inlet System Differential Pressure Alarm

               When the pressure differential across the inlet filters reaches a
               preset value, an alarm is initiated. This alarm may signify a
               need to change the filter elements.

               exiting the last turbine stage, the exhaust gases enter an
               exhaust diffuser section which terminates in a series of turning
               vanes directing the gases from an axial to a radial direction
               into the plenum. The gas then flows to the side, into the exhaust
               ducting, and into the stack. The exhaust gas then exits to
               atmosphere.

               automatically.

               Florescent lighting is also provided in the PEECC.

     8.1.10.5  Wiring

               The gas turbine electrical interconnection system includes
               on-base wiring, terminal boards, junction boxes, etc. as well as
               compartment interconnecting cables. Junction boxes are selected
               to meet the environmental requirement of the Customer but are, in
               general, of steel or cast aluminum construction. Terminal boards
               within junction boxes are of the heavy duty industrial type
               selected for the particular environment in which the junction box
               is located. On-base gas turbine wire termination uses spring
               tongue crimped type terminals. Generator wire termination are
               ring type. Control panel wiring is General Electric type SIS
               Vulkene insulated switchboard wire, AWG #14-41 Strand SI-57275.

               concentration is maintained by gradual addition of CO2 for an
               extended period.

               The fire protection system is capable of achieving a
               non-combustible atmosphere in less than one minute, which meets
               the requirements of the United States National Fire Protection
               Association (NFPA) #12.

               The supply system is composed of a low pressure CO2 tank with
               refrigeration system mounted off base, a manifold and a release
               mechanism. Initiation of the system will trip the unit, provide
               an alarm on the annunciator, turn-off ventilation fans and close
               ventilation openings.

   8.1.12      Cleaning Systems

   8.1.12.1    On-Line and Off-Line Compressor Water Wash

               Compressor water wash is used to remove fouling deposits which
               accumulate on compressor blades and to restore unit performance.
               Deposits such as dirt, oil mist, industrial or other atmospheric
               contaminants from the surrounding site environment, reduce air
               flow, lower compressor efficiency, and lower compressor pressure
               ratio, which reduce thermal efficiency and output of the unit.
               Compressor cleaning removes these deposits to restore performance
               and slows the progress of corrosion in the process, thereby
               increasing blade wheel life.

               On-line cleaning is the process of injecting water into the
               compressor while running at full speed and some percentage of
               load. Off-line cleaning is the process of injecting cleaning
               solution into the compressor while it is being turned at cranking
               speed. The advantage of on-line cleaning is that washing can be
               done without having to shut down the machine. On-line washing,
               however, is not as effective as off-line washing; therefore
               on-line washing is used to supplement off-line washing, not
               replace it.

               The on-base compressor washing features are described and
               illustrated below.

   8.1.12.1.1  On-Line Manifold and Nozzles

               The on-line washing components consist of two piping manifolds,
               spray nozzles (one in the forward bellmouth and one in the aft
               bellmouth), and an on/off control valve which is also controlled
               by the turbine control panel. The turbine control system is
               equipped with software to perform an automatic online wash by
               simply initiating the wash from the turbine control panel.

   8.1.12.1.2  Off-Line Manifold and Nozzles

               Off-line washing is a manual operation because of the large
               number of manual valves on the turbine which need to be
               manipulated in order to perform an offline wash. During off-line
               washing, cleaning solution (water and/or detergent) is injected
               into the compressor while it is being turned at crank speed. The
               cleaning solution is sprayed into the compressor inlet, covering
               the entire circumference. This should continue until the runoff
               is free of contaminants.

   8.1.12.1.3  Water Wash Skid

               The off-base water wash skid is used for injecting cleaning
               solution into the compressor for off-line cleaning. The skid
               contains a water pump, a detergent storage tank, piping, and a
               venturi eductor capable of delivering solution at the proper
               flow, pressure and mix ratio.

               In addition, the water wash skid is equipped with the following
               features:

               . Water storage tank with freeze protection

               . Immersion heaters to heat the water to 180(degree)F
                 (82(degree)C)

               . Enclosure for outdoor installation

               Typical water wash skid features are shown in the illustration
               which follows.

   8.1.13      Cooling Water System

               The closed type cooling water system provides pressure regulated
               and temperature controlled water flow to dissipate heat rejected
               from the turbine and load equipment including:

               . Lube oil system

               . Turbine support legs

               . Flame detectors

               . Associated MSD skids

               The system is comprised of on-base accessory module and turbine
               compartment mounted components and an off-base cooling water
               module.

                 turbine compartment)

               . Water side interface, i.e., tubes or plates, with lube oil heat
                 exchangers (located in the accessory module)

   8.1.13.1.2  Miscellaneous Skids

               . Air processing unit (APU)

   8.1.13.2    Cooling Water Module

               The off-base cooling water module is a packaged industrial type
               sized to accommodate the total water flow and heat rejection
               requirements of the gas turbine unit, accessories and load
               equipment. The water module system operates at a positive
               pressure resulting from the pumping and the recirculation of the
               system flow water. The module consists of the following major
               components and control devices:

               . Water surge tank with level indicator

               . Finned tube air-to-water heat exchanger assemblies

               . Motor-driven cooling fans

               . Two (2) motor-driven cooling water pumps

               . "Y" type water strainer

               . Temperature switch

   8.1.13.3    System Operation

               Cooling water from the surge tank is pumped by the primary
               cooling water pump to the on-base inlet of the generator hydrogen
               or water coolers. At the outlet of the coolers, the water
               continues to the bearing header temperature regulating valve,
               flame detector bodies, and through control orifices to the

               turbine support legs. The water supplied to the bearing header
               temperature regulating valve is then circulated to the inlet of
               the lube oil heat exchanger(s).

               All water exiting from each source is combined into a single
               return line with the water returned back to a finned tube
               air-to-water heat exchanger, where it is cooled. Cooling is
               accomplished by the air flow draft induced by the motor driven
               cooling fans over the finned tube heat exchanger assemblies.

   8.1.14      Starting System

   8.1.14.1    Electric Motor Start

               The starting system uses an ac motor to bring the gas turbine to
               self-sustaining speed during the starting cycle. Power is
               transferred to the gas turbine via a hydraulic torque converter.
               Sequencing is accomplished by the gas turbine controls.

   8.1.14.2    Cooldown System

               The cooldown system provides uniform cooling of the rotor after
               shutdown. This is accomplished by furnishing oil from the
               alternating current motor-driven auxiliary lubrication oil pump
               to the hydraulic ratchet mounted on the torque converter. The
               hydraulic ratchet is an electro-hydraulic rotor turning device.
               Sequencing of the hydraulic ratchet is accomplished by the gas
               turbine controls with the use of position limit switches with
               reverse solenoids. The gas turbine is ready to restart, subject
               to all start permissives being cleared and the ability to
               re-initiate combustion (approximately 10% rated speed.)

   8.1.15      Miscellaneous Parts

               As a service to the customer and to facilitate an efficient
               installation of the gas turbine, GE provides for shipment of
               miscellaneous parts needed during field installation.

               Shipment is in a single weather-tight cargo container. The
               plywood container, which can be opened from one end, is outfitted
               with shelves and bins for parts storage. The container comprises
               what amounts to a "mobile stockroom" and is designed for
               transport by truck or rail.

               Within the container, each part is packed, identified with its
               own label or tag, and stowed in an assigned bin or shelf. A
               master inventory list furnished with the container provides the
               location of each part for ease in locating the item.

               activity from routine monthly through periodic, combustion, hot
               gas and major inspections. Sufficient dial indicators, gauges,
               and micrometers are included to conduct all opening and closing
               clearance checks. Sufficient electrical equipment is included to
               conduct the normal electrical checks, inspections and
               calibrations required for gas turbine controls and accessories.

               Hydraulically operated wrenches are included to provide a much
               faster and more consistent means of removing and replacing casing
               bolting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.2 Generator

               The generator compartment has the same general appearance as the
               turbine compartment, and provides for maintenance and inspection
               via doors on the sides of the outdoor enclosure.

               The entire generator is mounted on a single fabricated base,
               which supports the pedestals, the inner and outer frames, and the
               brush rigging or the exciter.

               The generator line leads exit the side of the generator stator
               frame, with the neutral leads exiting the opposite side. A
               non-segregated bus duct flange allows for connection to either a
               GLAC or bus duct from the generator or to a switchgear
               compartment. The neutral tie is made up in the generator neutral
               accessory compartment that also houses the neutral grounding
               equipment and neutral current transformers.

     8.2.1     Rotor Design

               The rotor is a simple single-piece forging, pedestal mounted,
               with tilting pad bearings for smooth operation. The retaining
               ring is nonmagnetic 18 Cr 18 Mn stainless steel for low losses
               and high stress-corrosion resistance. The rings are shrunk onto
               the rotor body, thus eliminating any risk of top turn breakage. A
               snap ring is used to secure the retaining ring to the rotor body
               which minimizes the stresses in the tip of the retaining ring. An
               illustration of the rotor is provided below.

                             [DIAGRAM APPEARS HERE]

               Radial-flow fans are mounted on the centering ring at each end of
               the rotor. The fan is a high efficiency design, and provides
               cooling air for the stator winding and core. The rotor winding,
               which is a directly cooled radial flow design, is self-pumping
               and does not rely on the fan for air flow.

               The rotor winding fits in a rectangular slot and is retained by
               non-magnetic steel, full-length wedges. Where cross slots are
               required on longer rotors, several wedges are used in each slot.
               The slot insulation is a Class F rigid epoxy glass design that
               fits into the bottom of the slot. A class F epoxy glass laminate
               subslot cover locates the lowest turn of the winding. The turns
               are separated by epoxy glass insulation strips, and the winding
               is covered by a high-pressure resin laminate creepage block.
               Please see the field winding support illustration below.

                     The rotor slot armor, and all the insulation materials in
                     contact with the winding, are full class F materials and
                     are proven reliable materials through use on other
                     generator designs.

                     The rotor winding coils are round cornered, with a single
                     braze in each end strap. This significantly reduces the
                     number of parts in each coil and cuts the number of braze
                     joints by a factor of four. This is typical of the type of
                     production simplification which, in turn, leads to improved
                     quality and reliability.

8.2.2                Stator Design

                     The stator frame is divided into an inner and an outer
                     section, both of which mount on a single base fabrication.
                     The inner frame is a simple structure, designed to support
                     the stator core and winding, while providing some guidance
                     to the air flow in the machine. Mounted rigidly in the
                     inner frame is the stator core made from grain-oriented
                     silicon steel for low loss and high

                   permeability. Reliability of core insulation is improved by
                   applying a thermosetting varnish to the punchings. Isolation
                   of the core vibration from the remainder of the structure is
                   accomplished through the use of flexible pads between the
                   feet on the inner frame and the base structure. The combined
                   core and inner frame are designed to have a 4-nodal natural
                   frequency well removed from 100 Hz or 120 Hz.

                   The outer frame is a simple fabricated enclosure, which
                   supports the roof and cooler enclosure and acts as an air
                   guide to complete the ventilation paths. The outer frame
                   further acts as a soundproof enclosure to keep noise levels
                   low. Since the rotor is pedestal mounted, the end shields are
                   simple structures. As with the inner frame, the outer frame
                   is designed to be free of resonances below 80 Hz.

                   The stator winding is a conventional lap-wound design.
                   Insulating materials are those used since the early 1970's,
                   thus maintaining the proven reliability record. The materials
                   are all designed and tested to provide reliable performance
                   at class F temperatures for the life of the machine. Stator
                   bar copper is stranded and insulated with class F materials
                   and is Roebelled for minimum losses. The ground wall
                   insulation is a proven class F system. The exterior of the
                   bar is taped with a conducting armor in the slot section, and
                   a semiconducting grading system is applied to the end arms.
                   In this way the bar is fully protected from the effects of
                   high electrical voltage gradients.

                   The bars are secured in the slots with fillers and top-ripple
                   springs to restrain the bars radially, and with side-ripple
                   springs to increase friction between the bar and the slot
                   wall. The side-ripple springs are also conducting to ensure
                   proper grounding of the bar surface. Electrical connection to
                   the top and bottom bars are made via a brazed connection with
                   solid copper blocks to provide assurance that the connections
                   will not loosen or overheat. Please refer to the stator slot
                   section illustration below.

                     One design improvement made in recent years changed the
                     manner in which the series connection between top and
                     bottom bars is made. Until recently this was accomplished
                     by brazing individual strands together and then solidifying
                     the package with an epoxy. The improved system is to braze
                     all the strands together in a solid block and then to braze
                     top and bottom bars together with solid copper plates. This
                     provides a solid electrical connection and a rugged
                     mechanical joint.

                     The end winding support system is the proven approach used
                     on conventionally cooled stators on all sizes built by GE.
                     The complete end winding structure has been vibration
                     tested to ensure freedom from critical resonances.

8.2.3                Totally Enclosed Water-to-Air Cooled (TEWAC)

                     The generator is cooled by a recirculating air stream
                     cooled by air-to-water heat exchangers. Cold air is
                     initially drawn through a plenum in the frame into the
                     generator radial-flow fans on each end of the generator
                     rotor assembly. Air is then forced by the fans into the air
                     gap and also around the stator core. The stator is divided
                     axially into sections by the web plates and outer wrapper
                     so

                   that in the center section cold air is forced from the
                   outside of the core toward the gap through the radial air
                   ducts, and in the end section it passes from the air gap
                   toward the outside of the core through the radial ducts. This
                   arrangement results in substantially uniform cooling of the
                   windings and core.

8.2.4              Lubrication System

                   Lubrication for the generator bearings is supplied from the
                   turbine lubrication system. Generator bearing oil feed and

                   connection at the turbine end of the generator package for
                   connection to the turbine package.

8.2.5              Instrumentation

                   Pressure switches are provided in the lube oil feed piping at
                   the aft end of the generator for monitoring oil pressure.

                   Six resistance-type temperature detectors, two per phase, are
                   installed in the generator stator winding, with leads brought
                   out to the junction box.

                   Two RTDs are installed in the hot gas path of the cooling
                   air.

                   Two RTDs are installed in the cold gas path of the cooling
                   air.

                   Three velocity-type vibration detectors are provided on the
                   pedestal bearing caps, one at the turbine end and two at the
                   collector end.

                   Proximity probe assemblies are supplied on each bearing
                   pedestal.

                   The switchgear compartment is a walk-in weather-protected
                   enclosure made of carbon steel with a steel frame around the
                   perimeter designed to support the enclosure. The walls,
                   doors, floor, and ceiling are made of steel panels which are
                   bolted together. The exterior is painted beige with rust
                   inhibited primer and the interior is painted gray.

                               The PEECC is a completely enclosed compartment
                               suitable for outdoor installation. Heating, air
                               conditioning, compartment lighting, power

8.3.2                SPEEDTRONIC(TM) Mark V Gas Turbine Control System

                     The gas turbine control system is a state-of-the-art Triple
                     Modular Redundant (TMR) microprocessor control system. The
                     core of this system is the three separate but identical
                     controllers called (R), (S), and (T). All critical control
                     algorithms, protective functions, and sequencing are
                     performed by these processors. In so doing, they also
                     acquire the data needed to generate outputs to the turbine.
                     Protective outputs are routed through the (P) protective
                     module consisting of triple redundant processors (X), (Y),
                     and (Z), which also provide independent protection for
                     certain critical functions such as overspeed.

                     The three control processors, (R), (S), and (t), acquire
                     data from triple-redundant sensors as well as from dual or
                     single sensors. All critical sensors

                   triple-redundant. Other sensors are dual or single devices
                   fanned out to all three control processors. The extremely
                   high reliability achieved by TMR control systems is due in
                   considerable measure to the use of triple sensors for all
                   critical parameters.

8.3.2.1            Electronics

                   All of the microprocessor-based controls have a modular
                   design for ease of maintenance. Each module or controller
                   contains up to five cards, including a power supply. Multiple
                   microprocessors reside in each controller which distribute
                   the processing for maximum performance. Individual
                   microprocessors are dedicated to specific I/O assignments,
                   application software communications, etc., and the processing
                   is performed in a real-time, multi-tasking operating system.
                   Communication between the controller's five cards is
                   accomplished with ribbon cables and gas-tight connectors.
                   Communication between individual controllers is performed on
                   high-speed Arcnet links.

8.3.2.2            Shared Voting

                   Software Implemented Fault Tolerance (SIFT) and hardware
                   voting are utilized by the SPEEDTRONIC Mark V TMR control
                   system. At the beginning of each computing time frame, each
                   controller independently reads its sensors and exchanges
                   these data with the data from the other two controllers. The
                   median value of each analog input is calculated in each
                   controller and then used as the resultant control parameter
                   for that controller. Diagnostic algorithms monitor a
                   predefined deadband for each analog input to each controller,
                   and if one of the analog inputs deviates from this deadband,
                   a diagnostic alarm is initiated to advise maintenance
                   personnel.

                   Contact inputs are voted in a similar manner. Each contact
                   input connects to a single terminal point and is parallel
                   wired to three contact input cards. Each card optically
                   isolates the 125 or 24 V dc input, and then a dedicated 80196
                   processor in each card time stamps the input to within 1 ms
                   resolution. These signals are then transmitted to the (R),
                   (S), and (T) controllers for voting and execution of the
                   application software. This technique eliminates any single
                   point failure in the software voting system. Redundant
                   contact inputs for certain functions such as low lube oil
                   pressure are connected to three separate terminal points and
                   then individually voted. With this SIFT technique, multiple
                   failures of contact or analog inputs can be accepted by the
                   control system without causing an erroneous trip command from
                   any of the three controllers as long as the failures are not
                   from the same circuit.

                   Another form of voting is accomplished through hardware
                   voting of analog outputs. Three coil servos on the valve
                   actuators are separately driven from each controller, and the
                   position feedback is provided by three LVDTs. The normal
                   position of each valve is the average of the three commands
                   from (R), (S), and (T). The resultant averaging circuit has
                   sufficient gain to override a gross failure of any
                   controller, such as a controller output being driven to
                   saturation. Diagnostics monitor the servo coil currents and
                   the D/A converters in addition to the LVDTs.

8.3.2.3            PC Based Operator Interface

                   The operator interface, (I), consists of a PC, color monitor,
                   cursor positioning device, keyboard, and printer. The
                   keyboard is primarily used for maintenance such as editing
                   application software or alarm messages. While the keyboard is
                   not necessary, it is convenient for accessing displays with
                   dedicated function keys and adjusting setpoints by entering a
                   numeric value rather than issuing a manual raise/lower
                   command. Setpoint and logic commands require an initial
                   selection which is followed by a confirming execute command.

8.3.2.4            Direct Sensor Interface

                   Input/output (I/O) is designed for direct interface to
                   turbine and generator devices such as thermocouples, RTDs and
                   vibration sensors, flame sensors, and proximity probes.
                   Direct monitoring of these sensors eliminates the cost and
                   potential reliability factors associated with interposing
                   transducers and instrumentation. All of the resultant data
                   are visible to the operator from the SPEEDTRONIC Mark V
                   operator interface.

8.3.2.5            Built-in Diagnostics

                   The control system has extensive built-in diagnostics and
                   includes "power-up", background and manually initiated
                   diagnostic routines capable of identifying both control
                   panel, sensor, and output device faults. These faults are
                   identified down to the board level for the panel, and to the
                   circuit level for the sensor or actuator component. On-line
                   replacement of boards is made possible by the triply
                   redundant design and is also available for those sensors
                   where physical access and system isolation are feasible.

8.3.2.6            Generator Interface and Control

                   The primary point of control for the generator is through the
                   operator interface. However, the control system is integrated
                   with the EX2000BR

                                       Turbine-Generator              Page 8.34

<PAGE>

                     brushless excitation system over an Arcnet local area
                     network (LAN). The SPEEDTRONIC Mark V is used to control
                     megawatt output and the EX2000BR is used to control megavar
                     output. The generator control panel is used to provide
                     primary protection for the generator. This protection is
                     further augmented by protection features located in the
                     EX2000BR and the SPEEDTRONIC Mark V.

8.3.2.7              Synchronizing Control and Monitoring

                     Automatic synchronization is performed by the (X), (Y), and
                     (Z) cards in conjunction with the (R), (S), and (T)
                     controllers. The controllers match speed and voltage and
                     issue a command to close the breaker based on a predefined
                     breaker closure time. Diagnostics monitor the actual
                     breaker closure time and self-correct each command.

                     Another feature of the system is the ability to synchronize
                     manually via the operator interface instead of using the
                     traditional synchroscope on the generator protective panel.
                     Operators can choose one additional mode of operation by
                     selecting the monitor mode, which automatically matches
                     speed and voltage, but waits for the operator to review all
                     pertinent data on the CRT display before issuing a breaker
                     close command.

8.3.2.8              Architecture

                     The SPEEDTRONIC Mark V control configuration diagram
                     depicts several advantages for increased reliability and
                     ease of interface. For example:

                     . Multiple unit control from a single (I)

                     . Back-up display wired directly to (R), (S), and (T)
                       controllers

                     . Hard wire protective signal from (R) (S) (T) controllers

                     . Additional protective processors (X), (Y), (Z)

                     The protective block diagram shows the built-in
                     redundancy/reliability of the SPEEDTRONIC Mark V control
                     system. For example, if there is an overspeed condition
                     requiring a trip of the unit, the first line of defense
                     would be the primary overspeed protection via the (R), (S),
                     and (T) controllers. All three trip signals then pass to
                     the (P)protective module trip card where two out of three
                     voting occurs prior to sending the automatic fuel supply
                     trip signal. The secondary overspeed protection is via the
                     (X), (Y), and (Z) protective control processor cards which
                     similarly send their independent trip signals to the
                     (P)protective module trip card for voting.

8.3.2.9              Scope of Control

                     The SPEEDTRONIC Mark V control system provides complete
                     monitoring control and protection for gas turbine-generator
                     and auxiliary systems. The scope of control is broken down
                     into three (3) sections: Control, Sequencing and
                     Protection.

8.3.2.10             Gas Turbine Plant Operating Modes

8.3.2.10.1           Starting/Loading

                     All starting is done automatically, with the operator given
                     the opportunity to hold the start-up sequence at either the
                     crank (pre-ignition) or fire (post-ignition,
                     pre-accelerate) points of the start-up. An "Auto" mode
                     selection results in a start without any holds.

                     Either before issuing a start command, or during the start,
                     the operator may make the following selections:

                     1.  Select or disable the automatic synchronization
                         capability of the SPEEDTRONIC Mark V control. Automatic
                         synchronization utilizes the microsynchronizer to
                         provide accurate and repeatable breaker closures based
                         on phase angle, slip, the rate of change of slip, and
                         the response time of the breaker which is in the system
                         memory.

                     2.  Select preselected load, base load or peak load. If a
                         selection is made the unit will automatically load to
                         the selected point and control there. If no selection
                         is made the unit will load to a low load referred to as
                         "Spinning Reserve" automatically upon synchronization;
                         be it automatic or manual. The turbine governor is
                         automatically regulated to maintain the megawatt
                         setting assigned to "Spinning Reserve".

8.3.2.10.2           Operating

                     Once the unit is on line, it may be controlled either
                     manually or automatically from the control operator
                     interface. Manual control is provided by the governor
                     raise/lower control displayed on the operator interface
                     screen. Automatic operation is switched on when the
                     operator selects a load point from the turbine control
                     interface.

                     For a fully automatic start with automatic loading to base
                     load, the operator selects the "Auto" operating mode,
                     enables auto synchronization and selects "Base" load. Given
                     a "Start" signal, the unit will then start, synchronize and
                     load to Base load with no further input on the part of the
                     operator.

8.3.2.10.3           Shutdown

                     On shutdown, the system will automatically unload and
                     return to ratchet motor operation. The unit will stay on
                     ratchet until an operator turns it off.

8.3.2.11             Communications

8.3.2.11.1           Internal Communications

                     Internal communications consist of a high speed Arcnet
                     link. The SPEEDTRONIC Mark V's internal Arcnet
                     communication link is isolated from external communication
                     links at the (I) processor.

8.3.2.11.2           External Communications

                     The open architecture of the (I) processor facilitates a
                     wide range of external communication links.

8.3.2.12             Operator Displays

                     Two (2) out of the typical forty (40) available displays
                     are shown on the following pages. The first screen is the
                     main menu display. From the main menu all
                     operation/maintenance and user defined screens can be

The second screen shown is a typical operating screen. Note that the alarm list
and function control key fields are also shown below the primary display field
on this screen. Control target values are shown in the primary display field.
Selecting and executing commands is simple. For example, to go to baseload, you
would move the cursor to the "Baseload" target and click on it. Then before the
control times out, you would move the cursor to the "Execute Command" target and
click on it. The "Execute Command" step protects against accidental activation
of the wrong command that might occur with a one step (point/click) command.
Signals that require an Execute command in order to be activated are:

 .   Start
 .   Stop

 .   Operation Selection
    --   Off
    --   Crank
    --   Fire
    --   Auto
    --   Remote

8.3.2.13             Backup Interface

                     In the unusual event that the operator interface becomes
                     unavailable, a small backup interface is provided on the
                     SPEEDTRONIC Mark V cabinet door. It uses a liquid crystal
                     display with two (2) lines of forty (40) characters per
                     line to display key control parameters and alarms. The
                     control panel accepts operator commands from this backup
                     interface.

8.3.2.14             Printer

                     The standard operator interface printer has these
                     convenient features:

                     .   Alarm logging
                     .   Event logging

                     .   Historical trip display printing capability

                     .   User defined display printing capability

                     .   Periodic log display printing capability

                     .   CRT screen copy

                     Each alarm and event is logged with a high resolution time
                     tag. Contact inputs are logged to 1 millisecond. Separate
                     alarm queues are maintained for turbine/generator system
                     alarms and for SPEEDTRONIC Mark V internal self-diagnostic
                     alarms. System alarms can be silenced, acknowledged and
                     reset locally. Any intermittent alarms can be locked out
                     with a permanent lockout message residing in the alarm
                     queue.

                     If a trip occurs, the historical trip display automatically
                     captures in memory all key control parameters and alarm
                     messages at the time of the trip and at several time
                     intervals preceding the trip. The operator can print the
                     historical trip display when required. A start signal
                     triggers the display to start collecting new data and all
                     previous data is deleted from the current log. Display logs
                     can be saved at any time to a memory buffer.

                     A user-defined display allows selection of any desired data
                     for viewing or printing. The periodic log allows a user to
                     define points to be collected and printed periodically to a
                     printer. The period of each list is defined in minutes,
                     from 1 to 10,080 (one week).

8.3.2.15             Human Machine Interface (HMI)

                     The Human Machine Interface is a single powerful, flexible
                     and user friendly operator interface which brings together
                     all of the displays and functions needed for real-time
                     control and monitoring of turbomachinery processes,
                     auxiliary equipment, driven devices and process alarms
                     associated with power plant control.

                     The HMI system provides the infrastructure needed to meet
                     the demanding requirements of delivering process
                     information from a broader spectrum of controllers and
                     compute platforms as well as accessing and delivering
                     information to a customer's business enterprise system and
                     balance of plant control system.

                     Designed with an open system concept, the system uses
                     standard open hardware and operating system software. The
                     HMI's software system uses the Windows NT client-server
                     architecture from Microsoft which provides builtin
                     multi-tasking, networking and security features. The
                     ability to run the system on conventional PC based
                     platforms minimizes cost, promotes open interfaces, permits
                     system scalability, and ensures longevity of investment and
                     future enhancement.

8.3.2.15.1           HMI Product Structure

                     GE Fanuc's CIMPLICITY(TM) HMI system serves as the basic
                     core system, which is enhanced by the addition of power
                     plant control hardware and software from GE Industrial
                     Systems. The HMI configuration consists of several distinct
                     elements:

                     .   HMI Server - The server is the hub of the system and
                         provides data support and system management. The HMI
                         server also has the responsibility for device
                         communication for both internal and external
                         interchanges. The gas turbine control system can have
                         redundant communications with two HMI servers.

                     .   HMI Viewer (Client) - (If provided) the viewer provides
                         the visualization function for the system and is the
                         client of the distributed client-server system. The
                         viewer contains the operator interface application
                         software for issuing commands, viewing screen graphics,
                         data values, alarms and trends, and providing system
                         logs and reports. The gas turbine control system can
                         have redundant communications with up to four HMI
                         servers

                         and/or viewers. The first HMI will be a server;
                         additional HMIs can be a server or viewer depending on
                         the plant control configuration.

8.3.2.15.2           HMI Product Features

                     .   Graphics - The key functions of the HMI system are
                         performed by its graphic system, which provides the
                         operator with process visualization and control in a
                         real-time environment. In the HMI system this important
                         interface is accomplished using CimEdit, a graphics
                         editing package, and CimView, a high performance
                         runtime viewing package.

                     .   Alarm Viewer - The alarm management functions of the
                         HMI system are provided by Alarm Viewer. Alarm Viewer
                         handles routing of alarms to the proper operator and
                         alarm sorting and filtering by priority, plant unit,
                         time, or source device.

                     .   Trending - HMI trending, based on object linking and
                         embedding technology, provides powerful data analysis
                         capabilities. Trending capabilities include graphing
                         collected data and making data comparisons between
                         current and past variable data for quick identification
                         of process problems.

                     .   Point Control Panel - The HMI point panel provides a
                         listing of points in the system with dynamically
                         updating point values and alarm status. Operators have
                         the ability to view and set local and remote points,
                         enable and disable alarm generation, modify alarm
                         limits, and filter and sort points selectively.

                     .   Basic Control Engine - The basic control engine allows
                         users to define control actions to take in response to
                         system events. It monitors event occurrence and
                         executes configured actions in response. The basic
                         control engine is supported by an event editor for
                         defining actions in response to system events and a
                         program editor for programming more complex actions.

                     .   User Roles and Privileges - CIMPLICITY allows
                         configuration of system users to control access and
                         privileges. o DDE Application Interface - The DDE

                         Interface allows other Windows applications that use
                         Microsoft standard and Advanced DDE to obtain easy
                         access to HMI point data. Users can integrate software
                         that supports DDE to monitor, analyze, report or modify
                         the HMI point data. In addition the HMI provides
                         advances DDE client communication for data collection
                         from third party devices.

                         provide collection of data necessary to troubleshoot
                         the turbine unit control systems. These programs create
                         diagnostic data files that are stored for later
                         analysis. Files can be displayed, trended, printed,
                         faxed or transferred.

                     .   Logic Forcing - The HMI supports logic forcing and
                         maintains the identity and status of forced points. o

                     .   Control Constants - Control constants are tune-up
                         parameters and variables that change with each
                         application and may change from time to time during the
                         life of an installation. The HMI displays control
                         constants values for a given control unit and allows
                         adjustment of the values with appropriate ramp rates
                         and min and max values. A tool is included to create
                         and maintain a control constant file on a unit basis
                         which can be downloaded to the unit controller.

                     .   Configuration Tools - The HMI system provides tools to
                         configure a turbine control panel including:

                         -- Control Sequence Program (CSP) editor to edit
                            existing control program segments and to create new
                            program segments

                         -- I/O configurator for embedded turbine control I/O
                            software

                         -- Panel configuration including maintenance of the
                            Data Dictionary File System (DDFS) and the Control

       8.3.2.15.6    Communications Interfaces

                     The HMI uses Stage Link as its mechanism for communication
                     with GE turbine controllers and ancillary equipment. Stage
                     Link allows the HMI to be located remotely and enables a
                     single HMI to communicate with up to eight turbine
                     controllers.

                     The HMI allows Modbus interfaces with other systems such as
                     DCS.

       8.3.3         Bently Nevada 3500 Monitoring System

                     The gas turbine and generator are equipped with orthogonal
                     proximity probes at each bearing to detect radial motion of
                     the shaft relative to the bearing. Axial position of the
                     gas turbine rotor is sensed by two axial position proximity
                     probes. Each probe is connected to a proximitor.

8.3.7.3              Digital Generator Protection (DGP)

                     The digital generator protection system uses microprocessor
                     technology to obtain a numerical relay system for a wide
                     range of protection, monitoring, control and recording
                     functions for the generator. Redundant internal power
                     supplies and extensive diagnostic and self-test routines
                     provide dependability and system security.

                     The DGP provides the commonly used protective functions in
                     one package, including 100% stator ground fault detection
                     using third harmonic voltage monitoring. Adaptive frequency
                     sampling is used to provide better fault protection during
                     off-normal frequencies such as startup.

                     The DGP can store in memory the last 100 sequence of
                     events, 120 cycles of oscillography fault recording, and
                     the last three fault reports

                     The system features a local Human-Machine Interface with
                     integral keypad, 16 character display, and target LEDs for
                     entering settings, displaying present

                     stored data. In addition, two RS-232 serial communication
                     ports are provided for local and remote computer access.
                     (Please Note: The Personal Computer (PC) is not part of
                     this offering.)

8.3.7.4              Auxiliary Transformer Protection

                     Auxiliary transformer protection is provided by a digital
                     non-directional overcurrent relay which protects against
                     overloads and faults. The module includes four measuring
                     units, one for each of the three phase currents and one for
                     ground or residual current. The phase and ground units
                     contain settings for time overcurrent (TOC) and
                     instantaneous overcurrent (IOC). In addition, the module
                     has control inputs and outputs that can be used for a zone
                     interlocking scheme. A local user interface is included
                     with scrolling display and eight LEDs.

8.3.7.5              Generator Breaker Failure Protection (50/62BF)

                     A digital breaker failure relay is used for timing and
                     detecting current flow in conjunction with a lockout relay
                     (86BF). The timer initiation is accomplished using an
                     auxiliary high speed relay (94BFI) in parallel with the
                     breaker trip coil. If the generator breaker remains closed
                     and/or the current level detectors sense a current, the
                     (50/62BF) relay starts timing. At the end of the time out
                     period, the (50/62BF) relay trips the lockout relay (86BF).
                     Contacts from this lockout are brought out to terminal
                     boards for customer use in tripping associated breakers.
                     Lockout relay (86BF) also trips the turbine.

                     Most faults involving the generator require tripping the
                     generator breaker. Failure of the protection schemes to
                     trip this breaker results in loss of protection to the
                     generator. Also, if one or two poles of the breaker fail to
                     open, the result can be a single phase load and negative
                     sequence current on the generator stator. The purpose of
                     the breaker failure protection is to act as a backup to any
                     of the other generator protection schemes. This serves to
                     protect the generator when the breaker fails to open
                     properly.

8.3.7.6              Gas Turbine Control System Integration

                     In addition to the relaying mounted in the generator
                     protection panel, the gas turbine control system handles
                     protective functions such as generator temperature
                     protection, synchronizing check, backup frequency and
                     reverse power.

                     Generator control and monitoring are primarily accomplished
                     via the gas turbine control system operator interface. The
                     operator interface handles manual and auto-synchronizing,
                     speed raise/lower, voltage raise/lower, and generator
                     breaker control. Also displayed are frequency and voltage
                     for the generator and bus, breaker status, field current
                     and voltage, along with the status of permissives.

8.3.8                EX2000BR Static Voltage Regulator for Brushless Excitation

                     The EX2000BR is a digital, static, voltage regulator for
                     use with rotating ac brushless exciters. The system
                     supplies dc excitation power to the field winding of the
                     rotating brushless exciter. In addition, all control and
                     protective functions are implemented in the system
                     software. Digital technology allows the EX2000BR to
                     maintain 99.98% availability.

                     A simplified one-line diagram of the EX2000BR excitation
                     system is shown below:

                     The voltage regulator accepts inputs from the generator
                     terminals or auxiliary bus. In addition the regulator will
                     accept a dc input from the station battery as a backup
                     power source to the primary ac source.

8.3.8.1              System Features

                     Following are descriptions of selected features of the
                     EX2000BR system. For a complete list of system features and
                     accessories, please refer to the Scope of Supply section of
                     the proposal.

8.3.8.1.1            Communication (ARCNET) Interface

                     For communication to the EX2000BR, an ARCNET (local area
                     network) controller with modified ARCNET drivers is
                     provided. The ARCNET controller adheres to the standard
                     ARCNET protocol.

8.3.8.1.2            Interface with the SPEEDTRONIC Mark V Gas Turbine Control
                     System

                     The EX2000BR is connected to the gas turbine control system
                     through a coaxial cable on the ARCNET LAN. This enables the
                     gas turbine control system to provide a digital window into
                     the EX2000BR through which all pertinent variables can be
                     monitored and controlled.

8.3.8.1.3            Power System Stabilizer (PSS)

                     The power system stabilizer function is incorporated into
                     the exciter software. A signal representing the integral of
                     accelerating power is introduced into the automatic voltage
                     regulator algorithm to increase the generator's ability to
                     produce and transmit large power levels in a stable manner
                     by reducing low frequency rotor oscillations.

8.3.8.1.4            Regulator Panel

                     The regulator panel contains the SCR power conversion
                     module and regulator with all standard control and
                     protection functions, plus auxiliary functions such as
                     de-excitation module, dc field flashing module, and shaft
                     voltage suppression circuit.

8.3.8.2              Related Services

8.3.8.2.1            Power System Stabilizer Tuning Study

                     GE provides engineering consulting services for tuning of
                     the power system stabilizer for optimal performance at the
                     customer's site. This includes studies to determine the
                     optimum settings and producing computer models for use in
                     transient stability analysis.

                     In order to complete the analyses described, GE typically
                     requires data on the system strength at the HV bus (short
                     circuit MVA) and data on the step-up transformer impedance.
                     Copies of any pertinent interconnection specifications or
                     performance requirements for the AVR/PSS should also be
                     provided for use in determining the proper tuning.

8.3.8.2.2            Power System Stabilizer Testing

                     GE provides engineering services for testing of the AVR/PSS
                     at commissioning (plant startup), or a later date. The
                     purpose of the tests is to verify that the AVR/PSS
                     performance meets existing specifications and requirements
                     and to validate the calculated results from the tuning
                     study. Sometimes this testing is required by the utility
                     regulatory commission for acceptance of the plant
                     performance as it relates to system interconnection
                     requirements. A report documenting the test results
                     compared to the performance requirements is the deliverable
                     following testing.

                     To provide a complete operational installation, additional
                     equipment and services not included in this proposal must
                     be provided by the customer or the installer. These
                     include, but are not limited to, the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.1     Gas Turbine-Generator Systems

        9.1.1        Fuel System

                     Note: Customer must provide fuel analyses of actual
                     operating fuel at or before the time of commitment to
                     purchase.

        9.1.1.1      Customer Gas Fuel System Supply Requirements

        9.1.1.1.1    Summary of Typical Natural Gas Fuel Supply Conditions

                     1. The gas fuel pressures specified in this document are
                        referenced to FG1. This point identifies the purchaser
                        connection as shown on the Purchaser Connection Drawing.
                        These pressures do not account for any upstream
                        components (e.g. piping, scrubbers, metering, etc.)

                     2. The fuel gas delivered to the turbine is to meet the
                        most recent revision of the Process Specification Fuel
                        Gases For Combustion in Heavy-Duty Gas Turbines -
                        GEI-41040.

                     3. Maximum supply pressure excursions are limited to either
                        1% per second ramp or 5% step. The 1% per second ramp is
                        applicable over the range of minimum pressure
                        requirement to maximum operating pressure. The 5% step
                        is applicable over the range of minimum pressure
                        requirement to 95% of maximum operating pressure and
                        with a maximum of one 5% step change in 5 seconds.

                 Notes:

                 1.  The minimum pressure is specified at FG1 with respect to
                     the model series, fuel temp, ambient conditions, combustor,
                     and customer design fuel.

                 2.  Maximum mechanical design pressure is specified to provide
                     over-pressure protection, (including safety valve
                     accumulation), such that the maximum mechanical design
                     pressure value is not exceeded at FG1.

                 3.  Maximum operating pressure refers to the maximum turndown
                     capability of the speed ratio valve.

                 4.  Minimum pressure required is referenced to the coldest
                     ambient temperature and the maximum fuel temperature. This
                     value is applicable across the range of operation.

                 5.  Minimum fuel temp required superheat above the hydrocarbon
                     dewpoint at FG1 is quoted in GEI41040.

        NOTES:

        1.  The above man-hours reflect the average of our actual world-wide
            experience. By pre-planning inspections and providing skilled labor,
            many owners have performed inspections with substantially reduced
            man-hours and outage time.

        2.  Inspection recommendations may vary depending on application and
            site environment.

13.3 Typical Drawings and Documentation for Gas Turbine-Generator Owners

               This section describes the documentation GE provides to support
               the Owner's efforts to design, install, operate and maintain the
               GE gas turbine-generator packaged power plant. This documentation
               is divided into three (3) categories which coincide with the
               progression of the project:

               .        Advance Owner interface documents

               .        Owner design drawings

               .        Startup and operation documents

     13.3.1    Advance Owner Interface Documents

               In addition to the Owner design drawings formally issued for
               construction, GE can upon request, provide advance information
               suitable for use in: (a) project planning and estimating the
               scope and cost of a project; and/or (b) the initiation and
               development of the design of equipment, systems and/or civil
               works that interface with GE furnished equipment. This
               information is furnished on an informal basis. The following
               definitions are provided for clarification:

     13.3.1.1  Typical Drawings

               Typical drawings consist of either drawings previously developed
               for a different project or drawings for a reference unit for
               purposes of information and/or illustration. These drawings are
               suitable for use in project planning and for estimating the scope
               and cost of a project. Typical drawings, however, lack the
               prerequisite detail and/or project-specific features necessary to
               permit their use to develop designs for equipment, systems and/or
               civil works that interface with GE furnished equipment. The use
               of typical drawings for such design development is strictly at
               the risk of the Owner.

<PAGE>



               Please note: typical drawings can be augmented by
               preliminary design information furnished by GE at the Order
               Definition Meeting (ODM). Preliminary design information
               provided at that meeting normally consists of a one-line
               diagram and mechanical outline drawing, but can be extended
               upon request to include foundation interface information.

13.3.1.2       Preliminary Design Information

               This information may consist of typical drawings, marked-up
               drawings or any other material in either graphic or
               descriptive format used to convey non-finalized design
               information on GE furnished equipment. This information is
               sufficiently detailed to permit initiation and development
               of the design of equipment, systems and/or civil works
               interfacing with GE furnished equipment. This information,
               however, may be subject to changes that impact equipment,
               systems and/or civil works by others that interface with GE
               furnished equipment. The use of preliminary design
               information as a basis for the issue of final drawings by
               others is at their risk.

13.3.1.3       Order Definition Meeting

               To meet stated drawing and equipment scheduling
               commitments, agreement must be reached on options,
               alternatives and technical details within a limited time
               period. After receipt of an order, GE will promptly conduct
               an "Order Definition" meeting with the Owner's
               representatives to finalize the required design and scope
               of supply. Options and alternatives not finalized at this
               meeting will be documented with a schedule to resolve each,
               so as to minimize the impact on the shipment and price.
               Drawings affected by the lack of final definition will be
               identified during the "Order Definition" meeting and a
               schedule for drawing transmittals established upon receipt
               of the final data.

13.3.2         Startup and Operation Documents

               Documentation associated with the checkout, initial startup
               and routine operation of a GE gas turbine-generator
               packaged power plant will be provided in the English
               language and include the following:

               . Consolidated Service Manuals; available 12 weeks after
                 unit shipment

               . Turbine Control Specification; available at
                 time of unit shipment

13.3.2.3     Parts Manual

             This volume includes all necessary turbine accessory and
             auxiliary system drawings and bills of material to allow
             ordering of replacement and expendable materials, parts,
             components, and assemblies for all routine inspection and
             maintenance activities. It is organized along the same
             lines as the model list, or master parts list used to
             manufacture the turbine in the factory and is specific to
             the Owner unit.

13.3.2.4     Service Manuals Schedule

             Service Manual completion and shipment will occur in two
             phases as listed below:


             .   Service Manuals shipment - twelve weeks after the shipment of
                 the last major component (for example, lube oil
                 skid)

             .   Follow-up shipment - Twelve weeks after Manual
                 shipment, to include any shortage material received
                 after the Manual shipment (for example, drawings,
                 vendor documentation)

13.3.2.5     Turbine Control Specification

             The turbine control specification provides all recommended
             turbine control panel settings, control system calibration
             procedures and turbine operating sequences. It is a unit
             specific document, and together with the device summary and
             generator elementary, provides information on field
             settable control and protective equipment.

13.3.2.6     Elementary Diagrams

             Elementary diagrams are provided for the gas turbine and
             generator controls, including the excitation system. The
             turbine control elementary diagram is primarily functional,
             and although some hardware representation is included where
             appropriate, it concentrates on a pictorial representation
             of the turbine and auxiliary system sequencing and control
             and protection algorithms implemented in the panel
             software. The turbine control panel is also supported for
             checkout purposes by a hardware connection diagram
             depicting internal hardware connections.

             The generator and power system elementary diagram is also
             functional; however, since control, protection and
             sequencing are accomplished with hardware elements, it is
             more representative of the actual system hardware

               configuration. The same is also true of the motor control
               centers for electrically powered auxiliaries.

13.3.2.7       Startup Report

               The startup report is prepared by the field startup engineer
               after completion of the initial operation of the unit. It
               provides an indication of the initial settings and startup
               control characteristics for the gas turbine, generator and
               auxiliary systems. It is useful for anticipating trouble and
               performing diagnostic work at least through the first inspection
               period, and in many cases, over the life of the installation.

18.1    GE Power Generation Quality

                   GE Power Generation (GEPG) is committed to setting the
                   industry standard of excellence for customer satisfaction.
                   Inherent in this objective is our continuing determination to
                   perform every function, every process, to the highest quality
                   standards--from the way we develop and apply technologies to
                   the way we manufacture products and provide services.

        18.1.1     Company Policy Statements

                   The quality standards for the GE Corporation are set in GE
                   Policy 20.1, Company-Wide Quality and GE Policy 20.11,

                   .  Company-Wide Quality, as a corporate objective, means
                      attaining a level of overall performance and attitude that
                      makes General Electric the natural choice of customers and
                      earns the respect of all those affected by the company's
                      activities.

                   .  Company-Wide Quality, as an individual objective, is
                      achieved by employees who aspire to be better than the
                      best. General Electric is committed to assisting employees
                      in their pursuit of excellence by providing them with the
                      leadership, cooperative climate, training, facilities and
                      materials consistent with the overall company quest for
                      quality.

                   Policy 20.11 highlights are:

                   .  It is the policy of GE to understand its customers' needs
                      for products and services, as well as all related
                      requirements, and to put its best effort into responding
                      to those customer needs before, during and after every
                      sales transaction.

                   .  GE shall make commitments to its customers which reflect
                      GE's true ability to serve and to make every effort to
                      meet those commitments.

        18.1.2     Power Generation Philosophy

                   "To provide our valued customers with the highest quality
                   products, parts and services with unparalleled customer
                   service, while effectively utilizing every employee and
                   partner working together in an environment of mutual respect,
                   dignity and unyielding integrity."

        18.1.2.1   Objective

                   The objectives of the Quality Policy are based on the premise
                   that, in striving for excellence in every facet of our
                   operations, we will assure the highest level of customer
                   satisfaction and the fulfillment of their objectives through
                   the products and services Power Generation has provided.
                   Integral to this are the following key elements:

                   .  Customers are both internal and external.

                   .  Quality measurements must be customer oriented.

                   .  Complete understanding of customer requirements and
                      expectations is essential.

                   .  Quality is to be achieved by designing and building
                      quality and reliability into our products and services,
                      optimizing our processes and minimizing or eliminating
                      inspections, waste and rework.

                   .  Business processes and procedures instrumental in the
                      achievement of the Quality Policy are to be defined,
                      documented and controlled.

                   .  Continuous process improvement efforts will focus around
                      process simplification, variation reduction and cycle time
                      compression, utilizing when able, "Best Practices" as
                      models and examples.

                   .  Timely and effective corrective and preventive action will
                      be the key to the continuous improvement process.

                   .  Management involvement plays a critical role in the
                      achievement of the quality objectives.

                   .  The Power Generation Quality System will be based on the
                      International Standard ISO 9001.

        18.1.2.2   Implementation

                   It is the responsibility of the President and CEO, GE Power
                   Systems, and his management teams at all levels, to ensure
                   the understanding and implementation of this policy
                   throughout the business and to provide the necessary
                   processes, practices, procedures and resources necessary to
                   achieve that end.

        18.1.2.3   Measurement

                   To ensure the success of the Quality Policy, appropriate and
                   meaningful measurements will be identified, developed and
                   reviewed at all levels and functions to ensure that
                   appropriate corrective and preventive action needs are
                   identified and addressed in a timely and effective manner.
                   The type and degree of such measurements will be of a nature
                   to evaluate the performance to the objectives implied in the
                   quality policy and consistent with the continuous improvement
                   philosophy of the business.

        18.1.2.4   References

                   This policy is intended to support the objectives established
                   in Company Policy 20.1 "Company Wide Quality" and Company
                   Policy 20.11 "Customer Satisfaction".

        18.1.2.5   Review

                   The Quality Policy will be reviewed annually by Executive
                   Management in order to assure its continued applicability and
                   objectives.

        18.1.3     ISO 9000 Certification

                   The desire for customer satisfaction drives world class
                   quality. Customers throughout the world are not only
                   demanding a high level of quality, they are requiring this
                   quality be assured through the application of a comprehensive
                   quality program. The ISO 9000 program and certification
                   provide customers with a globally recognized Quality
                   Management system.

                   In order to be more responsive to our customer's needs GE
                   took this customer requirement and made it a top priority.
                   Our Sales, Engineering, Sourcing and Manufacturing functions
                   worked diligently to accomplish ISO certification. GE takes
                   great pride and pleasure in the fact that we were the first
                   power generation supplier to obtain broad scope ISO
                   certification. Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance has
                   assessed and approved GE's quality management system
                   standards of ISO 9001:1994, EN ISO 9001:1994 and ANSI/ASQC
                   Q9001-1994.

                   GE has focused on this quality issue, with customer
                   satisfaction being the top priority. The driving force behind
                   our total quality system is to achieve total customer
                   satisfaction by minimizing variances and completing the
                   product or services correct the first time. We established
                   our quality measurements and targets based on the most
                   demanding of our customers' perspective. To satisfy this high
                   level of demand, we focused on our "process" quality, not
                   just the products and services. To achieve this we have
                   directly involved our employees, our customers and suppliers
                   in these process improvements.

                   What really counts is our customers' perception of how well
                   we meet their quality requirements and goals. Therefore, our
                   quality measurements and procedures are being constantly
                   monitored and evaluated against both our own high standards
                   and our customers' needs.

        18.1.4     Total Quality Plan

                   GEPG has an integrated total quality plan that addresses all
                   processes, involves all employees and is driven by top
                   management leadership. The principles of total quality are
                   based on achieving total customer satisfaction by minimizing
                   variances and doing the right thing the first time. These
                   principles are:

                   .  Total commitment to quality at every salaried and hourly
                      level

                   .  Assure understanding of customer requirements and
                      expectations

                   .  Directly involve our customers and suppliers in process
                      improvements

                   .  Assign ownership for process design and control to
                      empowered Workout/Continuous Improvement teams

                   .  Focus on "process" quality - not just end-products and
                      services

                   .  Set our quality measurements/targets from the most
                      demanding customer's perspective

                   .  Define the key measures needed to assess variances in
                      process performance

                   .  Apply Continuous Improvement methods to reduce variances
                      and cycle times to progressively improve overall
                      performance

                   .  Train employees and maintain a cadre of leaders

                   .  Implement tracking and reporting systems to monitor
                      progress and results

                   .  Monitor all elements of Cost Of Quality (COQ), including
                      prevention, appraisal, and internal and external failure,
                      plus the impact of "lost opportunities" on net operating
                      income

                   .  Identify and progressively eliminate the source of all
                      avoidable COQ

                   .  Identify, recognize, and reward exceptional individual and
                      team performance

                   GEPG recognizes that ISO 9001 certification covers the basic
                   fundamentals of a quality system. To attain total quality,
                   GEPG has created a comprehensive Quality Manual, which meets
                   the requirements of the most demanding customer and sets the
                   total quality guidelines.

                   inspections do not constitute a waiver of requirements to
                   meet the specified operating conditions, nor does customer
                   inspection relieve GE of its responsibilities.

        18.6.4     Drawings and Records

                   Drawings and records are available for review and discussion
                   on a specific case basis at the manufacturing facility.
                   Copies will not be provided except for normal purchaser
                   drawings and where specifically required in the contract.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.7    Customer Review of GE Documentation

                   A customer may review whatever quality control plans,
                   procedures, drawings or records are necessary for
                   operations/tests/inspections performed on his parts. (Under
                   certain conditions when his parts may not be available,
                   `typical' documentation may be reviewed to demonstrate
                   examples.) Due to the fact that such documentation usually
                   contains information considered proprietary, copies are not
                   provided.

                   All documentation reviews will be conducted with an
                   authorized representative, such as the area Quality and
                   Process Engineer. This is necessary as such documentation is
                   usually of a "working" nature and will need interpretation by
                   a knowledgeable individual.

                   Since the review of documentation and data will usually
                   involve in-process product and activities, certain types of
                   documentation may not be made available for customer review
                   until after full resolution and/or implementation of related
                   issues.

                   Advance submittals of specifications, procedures and
                   manufacturing quality plans are not provided.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.8    Customer Observation Points

                   The customer, by previous arrangements, can be notified in
                   advance of significant events in the manufacturing cycle for
                   his major hardware. The normal practice is to provide the
                   customer with a monthly "milestone" schedule of key
                   activities for each of the customer's units.

                   If specific observation points have been contracted, advance
                   notification (usually 5 days) of observation points will be
                   provided with confirmation of 24 - 48 hours. Production work,
                   testing and equipment delivery will not be delayed to
                   accommodate the inspector.


                   Supplied equipment and parts are manufactured under a
                   production and inventory control system. Many parts are
                   produced for "inventory" and are not

                   assigned to a specific customer until time of shipment. Thus,
                   except for certain large components and major serialized
                   parts, it may not be possible to provide for observation of
                   the actual parts a customer will receive. In such cases, GE
                   recommends that a customer observe the test or inspection on
                   similar parts to assure that the procedures and processes are
                   being followed that will assure a quality part.

                   The following tests and inspections are performed in the
                   manufacturing facilities and are optional observation points.
                   This list should not be taken to mean that any one such test
                   will be performed on a particular part. These points have
                   been developed by GE based upon considerable past experience
                   of what some of our customers have wanted to observe.

        18.8.1     Gas Turbine Tests and Inspections

        18.8.1.1   Rotor Final Balance (Observe) - Optional

                   The customer representative is invited to observe the normal
                   production operation of final rotor balance on the rotor
                   designated for his unit. The completed rotor is set up in the
                   balance machine and stabilized. Unbalance readings are taken
                   in two planes at low speed (300 to 500 rpm) and balance
                   correction is applied to one or more planes by weight
                   addition or removal. Final balance readings and mathematical
                   checks are performed to assure an acceptable rotor.

                   Final rotor balance is a single operation on the entire unit
                   for MS6001B, MS6001F, MS7001F, MS9001F gas turbine models
                   (two bearing designs). The MS7001E and MS9001E models, (three
                   bearing designs), have separate balance operations for the
                   compressor section rotor and the turbine section rotor.
                   Manufacturing methods and priorities are such that the
                   customer should plan on separate visits where multiple
                   balancing operations are to be observed.

                   Since GT rotors are considered rigid and are made up of
                   individually balanced, geometrically-controlled components,
                   the low speed balancing operation adequately ensures low
                   vibration levels in the operation unit.

        18.8.1.2   Turbine Factory Final Test (Observe) - Optional

                   There is no factory test as part of this proposal.

                   However, factory testing of gas turbines will be performed on
                   an audit basis as determined by GE. If a customer's specific
                   machine is scheduled for testing,

<PAGE>

                   the customer or his representative(s) may be invited to
                   directly observe operation of his gas turbine during its
                   normal final fire testing.

        18.8.1.3   Unit Ready for Shipment (Observe) - Optional

                   Consisting of up to two (2) distinct inspection points
                   depending on the machine and the customer objectives, this
                   option starts with a walk around inspection of the unit in
                   the final stages of preparation for shipment. This inspection
                   is after final painting but before the bolting of batten
                   strips, which secure the side panels and prevent internal
                   access for machines with on-base lagging. During this
                   inspection the customer may review overall workmanship,
                   completeness of assembly, adequacy of prime painting,
                   application of flange blanking plates, preservation
                   techniques and general shipping practices.

                   Next the customer may desire to see his unit on the rail car
                   ready for shipment. The unit is fully enclosed if it is an
                   on-base lagging design and is secured to the car and
                   appropriately marked. It is then shipped by rail, either to
                   location or to port.

        18.8.2     Generator Test and Inspections

        18.8.2.1   Generator Stator

        18.8.2.1.1 Final Electrical Test (Observe) - Optional

                   The typically two (2) to four (4) hour inspection includes
                   the following:

                   .  General visual inspection of the fully assembled stator

                   .  Winding Resistance Measurement--The dc resistance of each
                      phase is measured with a low resistance ohm meter along
                      with the winding temperature.

                   .  Insulation Resistance Measurement--Prior to the final
                      winding high potential test, the insulation resistance
                      over a ten-minute period is measured with a 500-volt dc
                      insulation tester.

                   .  High-Potential Test--The windings of the armature are
                      tested by grounding two phases and applying a 60 Hz
                      voltage whose RMS value is twice the machine's rated
                      voltage plus 1000 volts. This test is repeated for

                   each phase. This test is done per GE standard, which meets or
                   exceeds IEEE 115 and ANSI C50.10.

        18.8.2.2   Generator Field

        18.8.2.2.1 Overspeed and Balance (Observe) - Optional

                   Overspeed Test - The overspeed test is intended to expose the
                   components of the field assembly to forces higher than normal
                   and demonstrate the ability of the field assembly to
                   withstand such forces. The field is set up in the high-speed
                   balance facility, it is held for three minutes at a speed 20%
                   above the rated speed of the unit.

                   High Speed Balance - The generator field will undergo a
                   high-speed balance. The primary objective of precision
                   balancing is to reduce the residual unbalance of the field to
                   the lowest possible level. The approach used in balancing
                   fields is called modal balancing. Each mode of vibration, or
                   critical speed, is balanced in turn, starting with the lowest
                   speed, on first mode. The process proceeds to each critical
                   in turn from the first to the highest critical within the
                   operating speed range. After all criticals are balanced to a
                   small residual vibration level, balance at rated speed is
                   evaluated.

        18.8.2.2.2 Final Electrical Test (Observe) - Optional

                   .  Winding Resistance Measurement--The dc resistance of each
                      phase is measured with a low resistance bridge. The
                      winding temperature is also measured.

                   .  Insulation Resistance Measurement--Prior to the final
                      winding high potential test, the insulation resistance
                      over a ten-minute period is measured with a 500-volt dc
                      insulation tester.

                   .  High-Potential Test--The windings of the field are tested
                      by applying 10 times the rated field voltage but not less
                      than 1500 volts ac between the field winding and ground
                      for field voltages of 500 volts or less. For fields rated
                      greater than 500 volts, the test voltage is twice the
                      rated voltage plus 4000 volts ac. This test is done per GE
                      standard, which meets or exceeds IEEE 115 and ANSI C50.10.

        18.8.3     Control Panel Factory Test (Observe) - Optional

                   The gas turbine control panels are manufactured at GE's
                   Salem, Virginia plant. Components and modules such as
                   electronic cards and page assemblies

                   undergo extensive inspection and automated computer testing
                   before they arrive at final assembly. All modules with back
                   plane wiring are automatically machine wired and computer
                   checked.

                   After the components and modules are assembled in their
                   parent panel, the equipment is made ready for final test and
                   inspection. The major portions of this procedure include
                   testing and checking of the following:

                   .  All final assembly wiring

                   .  Power distribution and supply systems

                   .  Input/output systems

                   .  Automated (PC based) hardware loop back-checks

                   .  System operation using test software

                   .  Customized requisition software checked in a "Software
                      Test Bed" facility using permanent electronic modules for
                      test

                   .  For a control panel installed in a control compartment,
                      interfaces between generator control panel and other
                      compartment systems.
