GAS POWER PLANTSWärtsilä gas power plants are designed for optimal performance in a wide variety of decentralized power production for peaking, intermediate and baseload applications. The 4-150 MW plants are based on engine units operating on natural gas or in dual-fuel mode (natural gas/liquid fuel oil). The gas power plant’s advantages are: Stepwise investment at smaller risks and optimized profi t generation Excellent plant availability and reduced need for back-up capacity due to multi-unit installation Net plant electrical effi ciency over 44% Full plant output at high altitudes and hot and dry ambient conditions High part-load effi ciency Fast start-up, below10 min from hot standby to full plant load Minimal water consumption due to closed-circuit radiator cooling Low gas feeding pressure Maintenance schedule independent of the number of starts, stops or tripsThe Barrick Goldstrike mine’s power plant in Reno, USA is equipped with 14 x Wärtsilä 20V34SG engines with a total output of 116 MW. 8 8 |
