The plant, which began operating in July, supports China’s national economic and environmental goals to increase local energy reliability and improve air and water quality. The Minhe Animal Husbandry facility’s 3 MW chicken-waste biogas power-generation project features three of GE’s 1 MW, JMS 320 Jenbacher engines, which Middle East & Africa Ramping up capabilities in the desert The Kuwait Ministry of Electricity and Water has just signed a turnkey contract with GE Energy and Hyundai Heavy Industries totaling $2.65 billion for a new 2,000 MW power plant in Sabiya. “This will be the largest combined-cycle power plant in Kuwait, an important step in our plans to boost power capacity to meet continuing demand,” says His Excellency Dr. Bader Shebib Al-Shuraiaan, Kuwait’s Minister of Electricity and Water. “A reliable supply of electricity is critical to avoid future From left to right: S.K. lee, Executive Vice President, Hyundai Heavy Industries; Abdul Aziz Al Rashed, Chairman and Managing Director of Abdul Aziz Al Rashed Sons Co.; His Excellency Dr. Bader Shebib Al-Shuraiaan, Kuwait’s Minister of Electricity and Water; Jim Suciu, President, Global Sales, GE Energy; and Joseph Anis, President, Middle East, GE Energy. are generating electricity for the local grid. To meet China’s growing demand for GE’s onsite power technologies, GE has expanded the presence of Jenbacher gas engine distributors throughout the country and opened a new regional gas engine packaging operation at GE’s manufacturing center in Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province in Southeast China. power shortages and to support the continued economic and social development of Kuwait. GE’s technological capability and strong local service support will help meet the need for responsible, efficient energy in Kuwait.” GE will supply the Sabiya plant with three combined-cycle power blocks, including six Frame 9FA gas turbines, equipped with the latest emissionreducing technology, three steam turbines, nine generators and a turbine- and plant-level control and protection system. Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea will manage engineering, procurement and construction. “The Sabiya project demonstrates our capability to deliver advanced technology solutions and services to support the infrastructure and population growth of Kuwait as well as the entire region,” says Steve Bolze, President and CEO of GE Energy’s Power & Water business. “This land- mark project is further evidence of our commitment to the Middle East, which is one of our most important growth regions worldwide.” 04 l CONNEXION GE Energy EPC Associates Magazine
Europe ScanWind acquisition Wind power at sea GE recently completed the acquisition of ScanWind, a company specialized in the development of advanced drive-train and control wind-turbine technologies aimed at offshore deployment. This strategic move enables GE to expand its portfolio of renewable energy offerings in order to serve customers better. For European Union member states to reach their renewable energy targets by 2020, analysts predict major investments in European offshore wind projects. For example, industry experts predict a 20-fold increase from an installed base of 1.5 GW in 2008 to 30 GW by 2020. USA & Canada “We look forward to taking ScanWind’s proven technology and enhancing it by leveraging our existing wind-turbine expertise, our supply chain and our global research capabilities,” comments Stephan ritter, General Manager of Europe and Offshore Wind for GE Energy’s renewable Energy business. The ScanWind turbine technology will join GE’s family of wind turbines, which includes the popular GE 1.5 MW series as well as the 2.5 MW series, a technology that has been proven in European applications and is now available in North America. ready for winter gE Energy’s most advanced wind turbine, the 2.5xl, is now available with a Cold weather Extreme (CwE) package. the addition of the CwE package ensures that the 2.5xl wind turbine can operate in temperatures as low as -30°C, and in survival mode without operation at temperatures as low as -40°C. the CwE package originally was developed for gE’s 1.5 Mw wind turbine and has been adapted for the 2.5xl. “with more than 4,400 wind turbines on cold-weather sites, gE is very experienced with operating wind turbines under challenging conditions,” says Vic abate, Vice president of Renewables, gE Energy. “adding the Cold weather Extreme package to our 2.5xl design greatly expands our capabilities to meet the diverse needs of our customers.” Europe Europe’s largest onshore wind farm GE Energy has signed an agreement to supply up to 101 2.5xl wind turbines to CEZ romania for Cogealac in the second phase of the Fantanele wind project. The combined phases will create the largest onshore wind farm in Europe. GE already supplies CEZ romania, a part of the biggest utility company in Central Europe, with 139 2.5xl wind turbines for the first phase of the project, which is currently under way. When phase two is completed in 2011, the site will have a total capacity of 600 MW of wind power, enough wind-generated electricity to meet the requirements of more than 400,000 homes. The romanian government has created legislation that supports the development of renewable energy resources, granting significant incentives for wind farms and other green energy projects through 2015. These measures encourage investors and developers to pursue projects in the country. “romania’s huge wind potential and favorable legislation create a lot of opportunities for us,” says Carmen Neagu, GE Energy region Executive Sales, romania, bulgaria and republic of Moldova. “Supplying turbines for the largest European onshore wind farm is a great achievement, but there will be more projects in the coming years as customers start to look at turnkey solutions.” >> erratum: Page 23 of the last issue, some points in the article were unclear.
