Power Plant Standardization Reduces Project Schedule and Plant Costs

摘要

During recent years, the trend in the combined cycle power industry has continuously called for shorter cycles, earlier Commercial Operation Dates (CODs), lower Cost Of Electricity (COE) and increased availability and reliability. GE has responded to this trend by developing a standard power plant offering. The Standard Plant Offering is based on a highly pre-engineered modular plant concept and is the evolution of GE's reference plant concept, which was applied successfully during the last decade. The GE Standard Plant has its roots in the highly successful, reliable and daily start/stop capable 109FA Single-Shaft STAG Power Train, with more than 24 trains in operation globally and 12 more trains in construction across Europe and Asia. In order to satisfy the demand for accelerated plant construction cycles, the degree of pre-engineering in this pre-designed Power Island is 95% compared to 15% in the reference plant concept.
