GE Energy and Swedish wind developer Arise Windpower AB today announced that GE’s most advanced ecomagination-certified wind turbine technology will make its Nordic debut in Sweden, a country with the highest renewable energy target in the European Union. The move further enhances GE’s global expansion of its 2.5xl wind turbine platform.
GE will supply a total of 57 2.5xl wind turbines to Arise Windpower. The first five wind turbines are already on order and will be installed at the Brunsmo project near Karlskrona in southern Sweden.
GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt and Arise Windpower Chairman Pehr G. Gyllenhammar officially signed a memorandum of understanding for the frame agreement that includes the remaining 52 wind turbines. GE is part of Arise Windpower’s strategy to have 300 large-scale wind turbines in operation by 2014. According to Arise Windpower, the turbines will produce two terawatthours of electricity annually—an amount that is equal to today’s total wind power production in Sweden.
The Karlskrona-Brunsmo project and the frame agreement support Sweden’s goal to have 50% of its energy coming from renewable sources by the year 2020. To achieve this goal, Sweden must increase its supply of renewable energy by about 10% over the next 11 years.
While this project marks the debut of GE’s 2.5xl wind turbines in the Nordic region, more than 100 of the 2.5-MW machines already have been installed across Europe and have compiled more than one million operating hours. In addition, GE has received more than one gigawatt of commitments over the next year and a half to provide 2.5xl wind turbines for projects across Europe.

Two FG Wilson PG345B gas engine power units were delivered by President-Neva, Energy Center, Ltd. Volga region subsidiary. The customer for the project is Gazprom Transgaz Kazan Ltd. Each power unit is designed on the base of Perkins 4006TESI engines and Leroy-Somer LL6014B generators. The power plant is equipped with waste heat recovery system.
Siemens Energy and TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, have signed an exclusive cooperation agreement aimed at the further advancement of amino-acid salt-based carbon capture technology. Carbon capture technologies in the eco-friendly utilization of fossil-fueled power plants will play a significant role in the future. The partnership targets faster time to market for this promising second-generation technology and the implementation of a full-scale demonstration plant by 2014.
Both Siemens and TNO possess comprehensive know-how in the field of CO2 capture. Siemens is developing a proprietary second- generation amino-acid process for CO2 capture in the industrial park Frankfurt Hoechst. TNO has been performing its own research activities in this field since the nineties. Both partners see major potential for full-scale application in eco-friendly solvents based on amino-acid salt. Under the terms of the agreement, know-how and experience in this area are now to be bundled in order to leverage synergies and better utilize common resources. The process is to be further optimized with respect to power demand, and the associated costs reduced.
The technology for CO2 capture from the flue gas of power plants is an important feature of the Siemens environmental portfolio. In 2008, revenue from the products and solutions of Siemens environmental portfolio was nearly EUR19 billion, which is equivalent to around a quarter of Siemens total revenue.
Gas engine power plant has been providing power for the field infrastructure since 2006. The power equipment was delivered by Sigma Technologies Ltd., construction works were fulfilled by SMT-1.
The power plant is designed on the base of four container-type JGC 320 gas engine power units with the capacity of 1 MW each. The power plant can be run in two modes – autonomous and in parallel with the power grid. As a result of the increase of power demand one more JGC 320 power unit by GE Energy Jenbacher gas engines was delivered by Sigma Technologies Ltd.
77 Gas Turbine V94.2 157-162 MW (ISO Condition) and 11 Steam Turbine E-Type 160 MW have been manufactured in TUGA and Shipped to the various domestic and abroad power plants since 2002. Total capacity of manufactured turbines is about 14080 MW. Total accumulated EOH of TUGA synchronized Gas turbines is more than 800,000.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and GE Energy have signed final agreements to co-develop a "next generation" steam turbine for use in gas turbine combined-cycle power plants. The co-development effort will focus on the design of a new, advanced steam turbine, leaving each of the parties to separately manufacture and sell the co-developed steam turbine in support of its natural gas-fired, combined-cycle power generation products.
MHI and GE Energy first announced a memorandum of understanding for combined-cycle steam turbine co-development in January 2009. Development of a new, advanced steam turbine is viewed by both companies as a key step in meeting customer requirements for increased combined-cycle efficiency and performance worldwide.
The new steam turbine will enter commercial service coupled with the GE Frame FB and the MHI G-class gas turbine products in the 50Hz segment of the global power generation market. These gas turbine models are typically used for combined-cycle power plants in the range 850-1,000 MW.
Much of the current demand for steam turbines is driven by the strong global interest in natural gas-fired, combined-cycle power generation. Although a full range of technology options is required to meet the world's growing energy needs, steam turbines remain a backbone of the power generation industry, playing a part in generating more than 80% of the world's electricity.
Centrax, along with its Italian agents, NME s.r.l., have recently sold a CX501-KB5 generator set for installation at FENICE SpA, an Italian Energy Management Company which is part of the EdF Group.
The natural gas-fuelled 3.7 MWe outdoor package will be installed and managed by Fenice at the site of Lamberti S.p.A Chemical Industries in Albizzate (VA), approximately 20km north of Milan at 300 metres in the lakes region of northern Italy close to the Alps.
The Lamberti Group produces chemical specialties for a broad range of industrial applications. Fenice will own and operate the cogeneration plant and will sell steam and electricity generated for use in the manufacturing process at the Lamberti Chemical facility.
As part of the order, Centrax will also be supplying a CO catalyst to meet strict emissions regulations and reduce emissions to 30mg/Nm³. The installation will be complete by the end of March 2009.
