First Major Order in Canada<br />
Mica Generating Station<br />
A NDRITZ HYDRO has been assigned<br />
by British Columbia Hydro<br />
& Power Authority of Canada to<br />
supply, install and commission two<br />
new large Francis turbine and generator<br />
units for the Mica Generating<br />
Station.<br />
Located in southeastern British<br />
Columbia on the Columbia river 150<br />
km upstream of the city of Revelstoke,<br />
the Mica Creek project lies in<br />
the steep sided part of the Columbia<br />
river valley between the Selkirk and<br />
the Monashee mountain ranges of<br />
the Columbia mountain region.<br />
The Mica generating station is an<br />
Mica unit 5 to 6 model testing in <strong>ANDRITZ</strong><br />
HYDRO’s Canadian laboratory<br />
underground powerhouse, that was<br />
originally constructed in 1977 with<br />
four Francis turbines 444 MW each,<br />
umbrella type generators and with<br />
future provisions for two additional<br />
units.<br />
The main purpose of adding two<br />
generating units is to increase the<br />
Mica installed capacity as well as the<br />
BC Hydro’s system flexibility.<br />
<strong>ANDRITZ</strong> HYDRO will supply and<br />
install two new Francis turbines each<br />
runner weighing over 130 tons,<br />
including generators with 60 Hz and<br />
0.9 power factor. Since the location<br />
is remote, the installation will include<br />
a camp to accommodate on site<br />
manpower.<br />
The project will proceed with<br />
the stage 1 release, design phase<br />
followed by the stage 2 release for<br />
the actual supply and installation<br />
of the equipment with in-service<br />
dates of 2014 and 2015 for the units.<br />
The placing of this order to <strong>ANDRITZ</strong><br />
HYDRO represents the first major<br />
large hydro turbine and generator<br />
contract based on the expanded<br />
Lifting of runner & shaft weighing 203 tons<br />
capability for large units acquired<br />
from the integration of the assets of<br />
the former GE Hydro.<br />
