New order: Vasilikos Power Station, fase IV, unit 5

NEM BV received a new order for Vasilikos Power Station, phase IV, unit 5, Greece.

 

Our colleagues at NEM-MHS (Modular HRSG Systems) have by now already started the engineering for this project. NEM will supply two two pressure level HRSGs, each behind a GE frame 6FA. The gas turbines run on diesel, but it is expected in the future that gas will be available. Two steam turbines convert the steam produced into electricity. The HRSGs will work with highly variable loads in a so-called ‘start-stop’ operation.

 

The principal, J&P AVAX, is a Greek EPC contractor. The end customer is Electrical Authority of Cyprus, the most important electricity supplier of the southern part of Cyprus.

 

The order includes two bypass systems to be supplied by NEM Power-Systems (NPS). The horizontal transition section of the bypass system is directly attached to the GT diffuser outlet flange by means of a hot-cold expansion joint. The stack, placed on a self-supported steel structure, is 35m high. The heart of the bypass system is an electrically driven diverter damper plus an additional guillotine shut-off plate towards the HRSG.

 

As usual, the bypass system will be one of the first pieces of equipment to be installed on site. The delivery of the NPS scope of supply is scheduled for August 2010.
