Dry Flexicycle~(TM) power plants-a closed loop combined cycle with unique operational flexibility

摘要

Wartsila’s new concept, The Dry Flexicycle? power plant, is offering solution with high efficiency reciprocating engines which are combined with a steam cycle, with close to zero water consumption-making it possible to place power plant to dry areas in inland. This new solution also reduces acquired land area for the power plant by placing the whole cooling system on the roof of the power plant. It has a super fast start-up time and excellent load following capabilities which are beneficial during peak hours, for example during hot summer days. Wartsila power plants offer a wide range of reliable performance and operational flexibility, even in harshest ambient conditions. Wartsila has delivered a 570 MW power plant in Jordan this year, consisting of 38 Wartsila 50 dual-fuel (DF) engines. The plant is operating at extreme ambient conditions, where the 22 engines provide base load and the rest 16 engines serve the peak load.
