GE to install H class turbine in Kazan

24 July 2014



Kazan is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, and is going through a period of business growth and the related expansion of residential areas. However, the region's success has created a challenge - the city now faces an electricity supply deficit of 700 MW, and must import power from neighbour states.
To address the problem TGK-16, an independent heat and electricity producer owned by Tatar-American Investment and Finance (TAIF), has been contracted to supply a power generation system based on GE's 9HA.01 gas turbine to be installed at a CHP plant in Kazan.
Modernising the CHP-3 plant will improve total plant efficiency to approximately 80%, and reduce the region's power shortage, created in part by increased power consumption from Kazan's large number of petrochemical industries and refineries. GE will provide the turnkey solution with support from GAMA Power Systems on engineering and construction of the plant.
The air-cooled HA technology, said by GE to be the world's largest and most efficient, will operate on natural gas and provide additional electricity for businesses and homes, along with heat for continuous petrochemical production. It will replace existing gas-fired boilers and increase the CHP facility's electrical production from 420 to 808 MW.
GE will manufacture and assemble the equipment for CHP-3 at production facilities in France, the USA and Turkey. Commissioning of the plant is scheduled for the first quarter of 2017.
