The plant with an installed capacity of 870MW attains an efficiency of 59%. It is designed for 250 starts per year and is capable of supplying power to the grid within 30 minutes to 40 minutes.
Sloecentrale comprises two single-shaft plants, in which the main components are arranged on a single line of shafting. Siemens built the plant as a turnkey project and supplied the main components – two SGT5-4000F gas turbines, two SST5-5000 steam turbines, two hydrogen-cooled generators, and the entire electrical and instrumentation and control equipment. The company also signed a long-term service agreement for the main components.
Michael Suess, CEO of fossil power generation division at Siemens Energy, said: “The new power plant impressively shows how security of supply, cost-effectiveness and environmental compatibility can be harmonized.”
