Accomplishments
- El Tebbin 2x350 MW Combine Cycle Thermal Power Plant (Gas Fueled), Al Qahirah, Helwan, Western Cairo, Egypt.
Plant Description
- El Tebbin power project is design to include a 2×350 MW thermal power plant to interconnect with the National Unified Power System (NUPS) through a GIS 220 KV switchyard. The power block is comprised of two identical Rankine cycle turbine generator units, each with a nominal rated capacity of 350 MW. The units are capable of generating rated capacity using natural gas, residual (mazout) oil, or a combination of both. The two-unit station arrangement includes an enclosed turbine building, an open boiler building, a common control room and all associated structures and facilities. The facility includes a water treatment plant that provides make-up water to the cycle. A 220 KV GIS switchyard evacuates the generated power to the national grid.
The project contracting plan utilized a multi-package system. Eighteen (18) contracting packages and purchase orders procured the equipment and services.
- Kureimat III Power Plant 750 MW, Upper Egypt.
Plant Description
- Kureimat III power project includes a power block that consists of two 250 MW combustion turbine generators (CTGs). Each one feeds exhaust gases to its respective heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). Steam from two HRSGs feeds one 250 MW (nominal), reheat, condensing steam turbine generator (STG). The estimated 750 MW net output is achieve by burning natural gas in the CTGs without supplementary HRSG firing. Nitrogen Oxide emissions are control by dry low-NOx (DLN) combustors. An inlet air filtration system supplies filtered combustion air to the CTGs. The steam exhausted from the steam turbine feeds into a once-through cooling, single-pass, divided water-box condenser. Power is generated at manufacturer standard voltage in the CTGs and the STG, stepped-up through main transformers and fed to the utility grid via the extension of the existing 220 kV, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) switchyard. The Nile River provides the plant cooling water. The project-contracting plan utilized a multi-package system. Five (5) contracting packages and purchase orders procured the equipment and services.
