Eastern Power and Electric Co. Ltd (EPEC) has signed a 10-year operations and maintenance (O&M) contract1 with Alstom for its Bang Bo power plant, located at Khlong Daan, Bang Bo Samut Prakan Province, Thailand. This contract is an extension to the existing O&M contract which expires at the end of March 2013. As part of this contract, Alstom will station permanent employees on site to operate the power plant and carry out all planned and unplanned maintenance at the site. The contract is worth approximately €90 million.
Built in 2000 by Alstom, the 350 MW Bang Bo combined cycle power plant is based on Alstom’s GT26 gas turbine. As part of this new service contract, Alstom will upgrade the existing GT26 gas turbine with its latest service offering for this fleet – the MXL2 turbine blade and components. Bang Bo will be the first GT26 power plant in Thailand to receive this upgrade. It is due to be installed in 2014.
Wärtsilä has received an order to supply the generating sets and related auxiliary equipment for a new power plant being built near Clatskanie in the state of Oregon, USA.
The Port Westward Unit 2 plant is being built for Portland General Electric Company, an investor owned utility. It will be powered by 12 Wärtsilä 50SG natural gas fuelled engines with an electrical output of approximately 220 MW, and is scheduled to be fully operational by 2015.
The Wärtsilä 50SG gas engine will allow Portland General Electric to have the operational flexibility to quickly respond to variable input levels of wind and hydro power to the system. Flexibility and high net electrical efficiency are salient features of the Wärtsilä 50SG units.
GE announced the 2.5-120, the world’s most efficient high-output and the first brilliant wind turbine. The 2.5-120 is the first wind turbine to bring together world-class efficiency and power output at low wind speed sites, capturing a 25 percent increase in efficiency and a 15 percent increase in power output compared to GE’s current model.
The turbine’s high efficiency and high output unlock higher returns for wind farm operators at low wind speed sites. The turbine’s advanced controls enable its 120-meter rotor, resulting in increased energy capture and greater power output in low-wind areas. The taller tower, which has a maximum hub height of 139 meters, makes it ideal for heavily forested regions in places like Europe and Canada.
The 2.5-120 also minimizes sound emissions to meet the strictest noise requirements through advanced controls technology. In addition, the new wind turbine is optimized for IEC Wind Class III and DIBT WZ2 standards. The 2.5-120 is available for 50 and 60 Hz applications.
Siemens receives an order for the delivery of three additional SGT6-8000H gas turbine and generator packages from Florida Power & Light (FPL). FPL, a subsidiary of U.S.-based NextEra Energy, Inc., serves the third most customers of any American electric utility, with approximately 4.6 million accounts. FPL will install the gas turbines to modernize its Port Everglades Next Generation Clean Energy Center, with the goal of cutting fossil fuel consumption by one-third, thus delivering customer benefits of more than $400 million over the turbines' entire lifecycle of approximately 30 years. The modernized combined-cycle plant is expected to start operation in 2016.
Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Gamesa has won a contract to provide operation and maintenance (O&M) services to 13 wind farms in Europe.
Owned by EDP Renewables, the wind farms have a combined capacity of 400MW and are located in several European nations, including France, Spain and Portugal.
Under the latest contract, Gamesa will perform maintenance services for a period of three years on their 402 850kW and 29 2.0MW wind turbines.
The firm will also provide technical assistance for 179 660kW-capacity wind turbines under the contract, which could be extended for another three years.
Total electric output of the station will be 3.6 MW. The customer of the station is Tasbulat oil corporation Ltd, affiliate of OMV Petrom S.A. The aim of the project is casing head gas utilization. The station will generate electric power for the needs of oil field infrastructure. General contractor of the project is Promelektronika-K Ltd. The company is official distributor of GE Jenbacher in Kazakhstan. All works under the contract will be carried out on turn key terms. The commissioning of the station is planned at the end of 2013. The station was designed around GE Jenbacher JGS 612 gas engine plants each rated at 1819 kW. Electric efficiency of each plant is 42.8 %. This project is the third one realized by the company in Kazakhstan. The first project (6 MW) was commissioned on the site of Aryskum oil field under the contract with Petrokazakhstan JSC.
Two Korvet-2500 gas turbine plants will be used for modernization of power station of the site of Novoivdelskaya compressor station (Gazprom transgas Yugorsk). The equipment was manufactured by Energotechnika MPP (Saratov). Korvet-2500 gas turbine plant consists of AI-20 gas turbine engine and SGSB-14-100-6U2 electric generator with output of 2.5 MW. Two Korvet-2500 gas turbine plants will replace obsolete PAES-2500 stations.
