Elk Station 2 & 3

摘要

TIC in April 2016 completed Elk Station 2 & 3 for Golden Spread Electric Cooperative, near Abernathy, Texas. Work included design and construction of two 380-MW, simple-cycle power plants that use two General Electric 7FA.05 combustion turbines with a grid-switching switchyard. It supplies power to both the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The team designed two independent units that can generate power to both the SPP and ERCOT grids, which required an elaborate protection scheme and redundant, hard-wired interlocks to ensure the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) interconnections remained separate at all times.
