Wärtsilä will supply the world’s largest gas engines for a new Turkish power plant with a combined output of 135 MW. When the project is completed, Wärtsilä’s generating capacity in Turkey will exceed 3 GW. Approximately 85 per cent of these plants will be running on natural gas.
The scope of supply covers seven Wärtsilä 18V50SG natural gas fuelled engines with a combined output of 135 MW of electricity. The order has been placed by Odas Elektrik Uretim, an independent power producer (IPP) for its new plant at Urfa in south eastern Turkey. The plant is scheduled for completion in the fall 2011, and will supply power to the national grid.
The Wärtsilä 18V50SG spark-ignited gas engine is the largest gas powered combustion engine generating set in the world. It reaches an exceptionally high power plant net efficiency rating of more than 50 per cent in combined cycle mode.
Vestas has signed an agreement with WindPlus for the deployment of the first offshore project worldwide integrating a wind turbine with a full-scale semi-submersible floating structure. This is the first time this floating platform technology is being used.
The contract with WindPlus includes delivery, installation and commissioning of a Vestas V80-2.0MW wind turbine for the project, which will be located off the Portuguese coast. Turbine delivery will take place in 2011. Moreover, Vestas will be the technology reference for the project, supporting the integration of the wind turbine and the WindFloat platform.
The WindFloat platform is able to decrease wave and wind-induced motion and so the turbines can be placed at depths of over 164 feet (50 meters), where winds blow harder.
If the new project will be a success, it could be implemented in future offshore projects worldwide, especially in places where the winds are more potent.
Wind power developer O2 Vind AB will construct thewind energy plant, which should produce 70 GWh of electricity from early next year.
Ikea has unveiled plans to build a wind farm that would power 17 of its Swedish stores, continuing its expansion into renewable energy.
The company previously invested in renewable energy by purchasing several existing wind energy plants but this is its first bespoke development.
Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract for the turnkey construction of a combined cycle power plant in Mexico. The customer is Minera Mexico, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico, the country’s largest mining company and one of the world’s largest copper producers. The plant is scheduled to achieve commercial operation in the summer of 2013, at which point it will be able to supply electricity to the company’s copper mines. With Siemens’ high-efficiency combined cycle power plant, Minera Mexico will be able to reduce its production costs and thus further strengthen its competitive position.
Siemens will build the La Caridad combined cycle power plant with an installed capacity of 250 megawatts, which will be located in Sonora State, Mexico. Siemens will be responsible for the full turnkey supply of the plant, which includes Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of the plant. The main equipment to be supplied to the plant includes the SGT6-5000F gas turbine, SST-900 steam turbine, electric generators, heat-recovery steam generator, and the complete electrical and SPPA-T3000 Instrumentation & Control equipment. Siemens also received a Letter of Intent from Minera Mexico for a long-term service agreement, which will provide Minera Mexico with reliable operation and maintenance of the plant.
India’s Suzlon Group one of the world’s largest wind turbine makers, signed a large supply deal with a wind-focused independent power producer planning to expand in India.
A deal valued at $1.28 billion, the transaction calls for 500 megawatts’ worth of capacity to be commissioned progressively by March 2012 and another 500 MW to be commissioned within the following yeadia. But much of the details are still under wraps as of press time.
The projects will use various Suzlon turbine models including the S88 and the new S9X series 2.1-MW turbines. Suzlon's new S9X series is designed with larger rotor diameters and increased hub heights, among other features.
Siemens has received an order from South Korea for the supply of its latest high-efficiency gas turbine (H Class). For the first time Siemens will supply a complete combined cycle power plant equipped with a new-generation gas turbine. Bugok 3 with an electrical capacity of 400 megawatts (MW) will attain an efficiency above the record figure of 60 percent and supply electricity to more than 300,000 people. Purchaser is the Seoul-based utility GS Electric Power and Services Co., Ltd. The natural gas-fired power plant is scheduled to come on line in the summer of 2013.
Siemens will supply the Bugok 3 power plant as a turnkey project. The scope of supply includes a new-generation SGT6-8000H gas turbine, SST6-5000HI-L steam turbine, a hydrogen-cooled generator SGEN6-2000H, a BENSON HRSG as well as electrical equipment and the Instrumentation & Controls system SPPA-T3000. A long-term maintenance agreement was also concluded for the main components.
The new Siemens H Class gas turbine generation had its market entry in mid-2010 and will post efficiency records of more than 60 percent in combined cycle duty: In comparison with the installed global fleet of gas fired power plants gas consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are both reduced by approximately one-third. Compared to coal-fired power plants the H Class reduces CO2 emissions by as much as 75 percent.
At present Aviadvigatel JSC is working over the implementation of the basic engine of this family - PD -14. The project of PD-14 is the key one for the entire Russian engine-building. It is a very complicated work, because plenty of new technologies and innovative materials are used to construct this engine. The engines of this family will be set up on a new aircraft MS-21.
