27 November 2007 - GE Energy will provide Silkeborg Kraftvarmevaerk A/S with upgrades for one of its exisitng plants, including two LM6000-PD gas turbines, new updated turbine control systems, new fuel control valves, required package modifications and installation and commissioning services.
The two LM6000-PD gas turbines will each produce 39.5 MW at a guaranteed heat rate of 9327 kJ/kWh. The fuel is natural gas. The guaranteed emissions levels are 25 parts per million, volumetric dry (ppmvd) for NOx, 25 ppmvd for CO and 15 ppmvd for HC.
Silkeborg Kraftvarmevaerk belongs to the municipality of the Danish town of Silkeborg.
Originally the plant was used for district heating; the exhaust gas was used to heat water, which was circulated to the town of Silkeborg's residents and electric power production was a byproduct.
With the upgrade, an exhaust bypass stack will be installed and the plant's future operation will have the flexibility to provide heat to the town as needed or provide electric power to the grid when only power is needed.
As part of the conversion, modification and upgrade, GE Energy also will supply engineering, project management and field service. The gas turbines and services will be provided on a turnkey basis with both units being installed and fully operational by August 2008.
"In choosing GE Energy for the plant upgrade, Silkeborg Kraftvarmevaerk's main concerns were an improvement in power output and guaranteed emissions levels, while continuing to have the economical heat they've come to rely on," said Charles Blankenship, general manager of GE Energy's aeroderivative division.
