TURBINE CONTRACT IN SOUTH KOREA INVOLVES A 5.56MW WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION

Features include a 40ft HC Container, a 1500 kVA MTU engine and a 1,500-litre integrated fuel tank. Each genset offers Prime Power (PRP): 1350 kVA & Standby Power (STP): 1500 kVA, Voltage: 480/277 V, Frequency: 50 Hz and RPM: 1500 RPM. The alternators used are STAMFORD®.

Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction has secured a turbine supply contract from KEPCO Engineering and Construction (KEPCO E&C) for its Jeju Hallim offshore wind farm in South Korea.

Under the US$170m) contract, Doosan will supply 18 units of its 5.56MW offshore wind turbine model. The turbine, with blades measuring 68m in length, has been designed to withstand severe windstorms.

The 100MW offshore wind facility will be built near the waters of Hallim Port, located in the north-west region of Jeju island.

Jeju Hallim Offshore Wind Power Company, which was created by Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Korea Midland Power, Hyundai Engineering and Construction (Hyundai E&C) and KEPCO E&C, owns the wind facility.

Doosan Heavy Plant EPC Business Group CEO Inwon Park said: “We find it truly meaningful to be a part of the Jeju Hallim Offshore Wind Farm project.

He told WIP: “This is not only Korea’s largest offshore wind farm project, but it is also the first offshore wind farm project to be pursued in Korea since the government announced its Renewable Energy 3020 Plan.We will do our utmost to ensure the project’s successful completion so that we may once again demonstrate the competitiveness of South Korea’s offshore wind power.

“We will also endeavour to promote the domestic wind power industry.”

Doosan will also sign a longterm agreement to provide maintenance services for the wind turbines after construction.

Capstone Green Energy Corporation has announced that Supernova Energy Services SAS, its authorised Distributor in Colombia, has secured an order for a C1000 Signature Series microturbine.

The system will be operated at an industrial dairy alongside an Alfa Laval steam boiler evaporator, producing 6,200 lbs. of steam per hour.

Alfa Laval AB is a Swedish company founded in 1883, providing specialized heat recovery products, and is a Capstone Green Energy approved Network Partner for heat recovery systems.

It is expected to be commissioned in October 2023.

Capstone Green Energy President and Chief Executive Officer, Darren Jamison, said: “For operations like a dairy where any loss of power can result in product waste, the reliability of a Capstone microturbine makes it a natural choice.

“This is particularly true in locations where electricity from the grid is relatively unreliable.

“Confidence in Capstone’s reliability combined with the turbine’s low maintenance requirements and compatibility with other technologies, like the steam boiler being used here, continue to prove the value of Capstone’s modular design and engineering as well as its versatility for use in multiple industries.”
