PV Power commissions Nhon Trach 3&4 gas-fired power plant in Vietnam

GE Vernova says that commercialized operations person begun astatine PetroVietnam Power’s (PV Power) 1.6GW Nhon Trach 3&4 Power Plant successful Vietnam.

According to GE Vernova, this task is Vietnam’s archetypal installation to usage its high-efficiency, air-cooled (HA) state turbine exertion and the archetypal to usage liquefied earthy state (LNG) arsenic a substance source.

Located successful Ong Keo Industrial Park, Dai Phuoc commune, astir 70km south-east of Ho Chi Minh City, the powerfulness works was constructed by Samsung C&T and Lilama.

The Nhon Trach 3&4 installation is expected to code expanding energy request successful confederate Vietnam, including successful Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai province.

GE Vernova supplied 2 blocks for the project, each with much than 800MW of capacity.

Each artifact includes a 9HA.02 state turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator and a Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator designed to heighten ratio successful precocious water-steam cycles.

Additionally, the integrated Mark VIe Distributed Control System from GE Vernova is expected to enactment PV Power successful managing plus reliability and operational ratio portion reducing costs.

GE Vernova said that its exertion enables gas-fired plants to make energy with little c emissions compared to coal-fired facilities of akin output.

The Nhon Trach 3&4 task progressive a displacement from ember to gas, aiming to enactment grid stableness and facilitate greater integration of renewable vigor sources.

Equipment for this task was partially manufactured domestically astatine GE Vernova’s facilities successful Phu My and Dung Quat.

A PV Power typical said: “GE Vernova’s precocious 9HA.02 state turbine is cardinal to our committedness to modern vigor standards. It enables the works to execute greater than 63% combined rhythm efficiency, ranking it among the world’s astir businesslike facilities.”

GE Vernova presently supports up to 30% of Vietnam’s energy proviso done its technologies and maintains much than 1,100 employees crossed 13 nationwide locations.
