GE Energy & Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Sign MOU to Co-Develop World's Most Advanced New Steam Turbine for Combined-Cycle Power Plants édité le 31/01/2009. The formal opening of the plant comes as international players jockey to produce the most efficient gas turbines and combined-cycle natural gas power plants possible. The plant, to be fueled by natural gas, will utilize a combined cycle power plant technology with a high efficiency gas-turbine (GT) and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The plant will be the cornerstone of the co-op's Independent Light Program. The Nikiski Combined Cycle Conversion Project is a steam turbine, fueled by the excess heat generated by an existing natural gas turbine. Abengoa will be responsible for the engineering, design and construction of the combined cycle power plant under the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) "turnkey" system. On Wednesday, Siemens opened a new 450,000-unit gas turbine production facility in Charlotte, N.C., next to its existing steam turbine generator plant. The estimated time for the project is For this project, Abengoa has subcontracted Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas to supply the power block equipment which involves the gas turbine, the steam turbine and the heat recovery steam generator. The scope of delivery from Siemens includes a total of six SGT5-4000F gas turbines, six SST5-3000 steam turbines, and six SGen5-2000H generators. GE Energy and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. The clients are Daewoo E&C Co., Ltd and Hyundai Engineering Co. Earlier this year, General Electric announced a new 510-megawatt combined-cycle power plant that claims fuel efficiency of up to 61 percent. Power generation portfolio is set to go online by the end of the year. (MHI), two manufacturers of power generation equipment, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to co-develop the “next generation” steam turbine for use in gas turbine combined-cycle power plants. Siemens has been awarded a contract to supply power plant components, including six F-class gas turbines, for the Ras Djinet and Ain Arnat combined cycle power plants (CCPP) in Algeria.
