Under the contract, the company will supply a two-cylinder steam turbine set with reheat capability, comprising an SST-800 turbine and a double-flow SST-500 turbine, as well as an associated SGen6-100A generator to eTEC E&C.
Designed to supply both electricity for the public grid as well as heat for the surrounding industries, the Seagull steam power plant will be constructed by eTEC E&C for its subsidiary Gunjang Energy, in Gunjang industrial zone in the western South Korea.
The contract forms part of the Seagull power plant’s fourth expansion phase to ensure a reliable power supply in the region around Gunsan.
Siemens has already delivered an SST-600 and a SST-300 industrial steam turbine for the power plant.
Siemens Energy Steam Turbines Business Unit CEO Wilfried Ulm said, "After its completion, Seagull will be the most efficient and most modern coal-fired cogeneration plant in South Korea."
Gunjang Energy said president Chang-Suk OH said, "With our new power plant, we will be able to reliably provide electricity in the region around Gunsan as well as supply process steam to the industrial segment."
With an isntalled generating capacity will be 250MW, the facility is scheduled to start production of heat and electricity in the second quarter of 2016.
