Conversion of Open Cycle Gas Turbines to Combined Cycle at Kallpa Thermoelectric Power Plant

The project “Conversion of Open Cycle Gas Turbines to Combined Cycle at Kallpa Thermoelectric Power Plant”, (hereafter referred to as “The Project”), involves the conversion of three open cycle gas turbines (OCGT), which currently have a gross electrical output of 561.2 MW, into a combined cycle facility, adding a nominal 292.9 MW gross generation provided by the steam turbine at full load. The Project consists of 3 Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) that use the exhaust waste heat/gas generated by the 3 Open-Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGT) to produce steam. Subsequently, the steam is used to produce electricity using one Steam Turbine Generator (STG) as well as auxiliaries, air-cooled condensers, water systems, generator step-up and auxiliary transformers, instrumentation and controls. The Project replaces energy produced by other greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting facilities that currently supply to the national grid and may also delay the need to construct additional GHG emitting power facilities, depending on the country’s electricity demand growth. The project’s construction started on September 09, 2009, while operations began on August 08, 2012. This will be the first monitoring period of the project (31/12/2012 - 31/08/2013). The amount of emission reductions achieved during current monitoring period is 311,648 tCO2eq.
