28 February 2007 -- ABB has been selected to supply controls for the Cleco Power's new $1 billion, 660-MW generating unit at the company's Rodemacher Power Station site near Boyce, La. ABB will provide burner management, boiler controls, and BOP controls for its two 330 MW circulating fluidized bed boilers. The engineering and procurement contractor is Shaw, Stone and Webster.
ABB will be utilizing System 800xA with Harmony Connect Process Portal for the operator stations, and Harmony Bridge controllers with both Rack & S800 I/O for monitoring and control.
ABB will also provide PLC interfaces to the turbine controls and other auxiliary equipment via standard OPC technology.
The Rodemacher station currently generates 963 MW with its two existing units. Unit 1, fully owned by Cleco, is fueled by natural gas and low-sulfur fuel oil and produces 440 MW. Unit 2, jointly owned by Cleco, Louisiana Energy and Power Authority, and Lafayette Utilities System, is coal-fired and has an output of 523 MW. Circulating fluidized-bed technology will allow the new Cleco 600 MW unit to use a diversified fuel mixture. Presently under construction, the new unit is scheduled to be completed in late 2009.
