JCN Newswire (英)
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) signed contract
with Cairo Electricity Production Company (CEPC), a subsidiary of
the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) for the upgrade of
Cairo North Combined Cycle Power Station Module l. The natural
gas-fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power station has a
rated output of 750 MW and uses two M701F gas turbines as the core
component. The upgrade will increase output, improve energy
generation efficiency and reduce downtime losses through extension
of the inspection intervals, thereby contributing to a more stable
energy supply. Delivery and commencement of operations is scheduled
for the second half of 2018.
Cairo North Combined Cycle Power Station is located around 20 km
north of Cairo, and has been operated by CEPC since 2005. It
currently uses gas turbines provided by Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries, Ltd. (MHI), as well as steam turbines provided by
Hitachi, Ltd. With the integration of the two companies' thermal
power generation divisions into MHPS in 2014, MHPS has since taken
over after-sales services for the power station. CEPC and EEHC have
developed a high level of trust in MHPS as a result of its
outstanding after-sales service, leading to its decision to place
the order with MHPS's Egyptian subsidiary.
MHPS will supply upgraded parts for the M701F gas turbines, spare
rotors, upgraded control system and parts for the steam turbine and
generators, etc. required to increase the efficiency of the
equipment. MHPS will also dispatch technical advisors to support
the installation and commissioning phase. The parts for gas
turbines' generators will be manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric
Corporation (MELCO). Funding for the project will be provided by
the Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA) through the
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
"We are delighted to continue in our longstanding role supporting
the development and upgrade of Cairo North Combined Cycle Power
Station Module l, working in close partnership with EEHC and CEPC,
with support from JICA" said Satoshi Uchida, Executive Vice
President of MHPS. "Our dedicated local team will deliver the
high-tech solutions and technical expertise to support the
country's energy needs going forward."
The Egyptian economy grew at an average annual rate of 4.4% from
2004-2014, and peak electricity demand grew at an even higher rate
of 6.0% during that period, resulting in a tight supply of
electricity. In order to ensure a stable supply of power, it is
necessary to further increase the capacity of power generation
facilities while also increasing the efficiency and reliability of
power generation, transmission, and distribution facilities.
MHPS is working not only on the development of new thermal power
generation systems, but also on upgrades and continuous innovations
for existing power generation facilities, to enhance performance
and therefore support more stable and efficient power generation
globally.
