Wartsila Finland Oy commissioned power stations in Estonia.

Wartsila commissioned two complete power plants with a total output of 250 MW for Elering AS, the Estonian transmission system operator. The total value of the order is EUR 129 million. The power plants will provide dynamic generation capacity to meet sudden and unexpected drops in the electricity supply.

The power plants are based on Wartsila 20V34DF engines, which operate primarily on natural gas but with the option to switch to light fuel oil as a back-up fuel. The requirement for these plants is that they have to be able to compensate for lost generating capacity in no more than 15 minutes in the event of a plant shut down.

Total output of wind park in Ust-Kamchatsk will be increased.

Vostok Power Systems RAO started the construction of KWT300 wind turbine manufactured by Komaihaltek Inc. The first wind turbine was commissioned on the site in 2014. At the end of 2015 two more similar wind turbines will be commissioned on the site. The construction of wind park is carried out under the cooperation of Vostok Power Systems RAO and NEDO which is state Japan organization for the development of advanced power and industrial technologies. After commissioning total electric output of the wind park will be 900 kW. Under the contract Komaihaltek Inc. in cooperation with Mitsui and Fuji Electric will supply, install and commission wind turbines. Wind turbines will be united with existing diesel power plants.

Siemens wins service extension contract for UK wind project.

German engineering firm Siemens has signed a long-term agreement to offer its services and maintenance for the RWE's Rhyl Flats Wind Farm, which is located off the coast of North Wales in the UK.

The agreement for 15 years is an expansion of a previous service and maintenance deal with Siemens which started when the facility was commissioned in 2009.

The offshore project is equipped with 25 SWT-3.6-107 turbines and has a maximum installed capacity of 90MW. Rhyl Flats Wind Farm has the capacity to generate enough power annually to meet the energy demands of around 61,000 average households in the region

Dong Energy awards contract to J Murphy & Sons for 580MW offshore wind project in UK.

Danish power firm Dong Energy has awarded a contract worth £21.8m to J Murphy & Sons for setting up an onshore substation for the 580MW Race Bank wind project in offshore UK. The substation will be developed beside the UK National Grid's Walpole substation unit during 2016.

Under the contract terms, Murphy will be responsible for providing all the substation equipment required to transmit power from the wind facility to the UK's grid network. 

The Race Bank offshore wind facility will be developed around 17 miles away from the Blakeney Point on the North Norfolk Coast. Once operational, the 580MW project will be able to meet the power requirements of more than 400,000 households in the country.

Siemens and Cengiz Enerji complete 600MW combined cycle power project in Turkey.

The single-shaft plant is equipped with SGT5-8000H gas turbines. Siemens has completed construction for the facility in 23 months, which is two months ahead of its scheduled delivery date.

As well as supplying the SGT5-8000H gas turbines, Siemens had also delivered a SST5-5000 model steam turbine, a SGen5-3000W generator, the electrical system and the SPPA-T3000 I&C system for the facility. The Benson heat recovery steam generator and the auxiliary and ancillary systems for the plant were also supplied by the German manufacturer. The firm was also responsible for long-term service for the main parts of the facility. Construction and installation works for the facility were conducted by Cengiz.

The Cengiz Enerji Samsun facility is claimed to the most fossil-fired power plant in Turkey and the entire 50Hz power plant market. It can power up to a full load in less than 30 minutes, even after a down-time of six hours.

The facility is also expected to react promptly to grid fluctuations and can adapt its output by 35MW per minute to meet the fluctuating power requirements.
