Wärtsilä to supply 73 MW extension for gas-fired power plant in Turkey
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 4 May 2017 at 12 noon EET
The technology group Wärtsilä will supply 73 MW capacity equipment for an
extension to a power plant owned by Yesilyurt Enerji Elektrik Uretim A.S, an
Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Turkey. The equipment will be delivered
during the coming months, and the extended power plant is scheduled to be
operational by December 2017. Wärtsilä's scope is the equipment supply. The
order is booked in the first quarter of 2017.
The order comprises four Wärtsilä 50SG engines running on natural gas. This
fast-track delivery is for the extension to an existing 128 MW Wärtsilä power
plant built in 2011 in Samsun, on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. The capacity of
the plant was extended to 145 MW in 2013, and was built to operate mainly in
baseload mode to supply reliable power to the grid. When this latest extension
is completed, it will mainly be for grid stability operations. The reliability
of the Turkish power system is very much dependent on having sufficient flexible
power available for grid stability. Operational flexibility and the capability
to start-up the power plant quickly were the main reasons for selecting ultra-
flexible Wärtsilä internal combustion engines for this extension project.
Another key reason is that Yesilurt has been very satisfied with the operational
performance of the original power plant built in 2011.Yesilurt recognises that
operating a gas-fuelled power plant in the Turkish energy market has good
potential for profits.
"We wanted to continue working with Wärtsilä as we have been very happy with our
project from 2011. The power plant is working very reliably. Additionally we see
great potential in having flexible gas power available for grid stability
operations," says Mr Ozkan ORAL, Plant Manager at Yesilurt.
"It is an honour to deliver this extension to Yesilurt, a customer that we value
highly. They play a key role in the Turkish power system, and the reliability
and performance of our plants is an important factor in this," says Yucel Hurkal
General Manager at Wärtsilä Energy Solutions in Turkey.
Wärtsilä has a well established footprint in Turkey with an installed base and
projects under construction of more than 4 500 MW. Globally, Wärtsilä's
installed power plant base is 63 GW in 176 countries.
