26 November 2007 - Siemens Power Generation has received orders for industrial steam turbines worth more than €150m ($23m). One of the biggest deals is for the supply of four SST-900 reheat steam turbine generators to a South Korean construction company for installation in a greenfield power plant near the city of Dangjin.
The four Siemens SST-900 steam turbines ordered by Daelim Industrial will be used to generate power for a steel mill owned by the South-Korean company Hyundai Steel.
The mill will provide the fuel (gases from the production process) to fire the new plant, which will be built by a joint venture between Hyundai Steel and Korean Midland Power Company Limited.
The Siemens turbogenerators will be delivered successively throughout 2009 and commercial operation is scheduled for mid-2010.
Siemens will also supply four SGen 6-100A-2P type generators with a capacity of 116 MW each, the control system, spares and services, as well as customer training. Daelim Industrial has also expressed a requirement for two further identical units within the next twelve months.
The SST-900 is the most powerful turbine in the Siemens industrial steam turbine range, and it has been sold into a number of countries throughout the world recently.
One 128-MW unit has been ordered for a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in Mexico, a further unit, generating 78.5 MW, has been ordered for a CCPP in Pakistan. A single 177-MW unit will be supplied to a CCPP in Argentina. Other major orders have been won for deliveries to Austria (165 MW), Thailand (130 MW) and USA (100 MW).
"With its optional reheat capability, the SST-900 is specially designed for power generation applications, particularly cogeneration and combined cycle", said Markus Tacke, head of the Industrial Steam Turbine business.
