Siemens Energy continues to advance low-emission power generation in South Korea with HL-Class
Most competitive power island solution for 571-MW Eumseong Unit 1
Eumseong Unit 1 is the first of two planned CCPP units and
will have an installed electrical capacity of 571 MW. The power plant is
designed as a single-shaft unit that will operate on re-gasified liquefied
natural gas (LNG). Siemens Energy's scope of supply includes a SGT6-9000HL gas
turbine, a SST-5000 steam turbine, a SGen-3000W generator, and the SPPA-T3000 control
system.
The order also includes a long-term part management contract
for the gas turbine, technical field advisory services, and digital services including
diagnostics services, continuous performance optimization, and compressor condition
performance-monitoring that will improve asset utilization, reliability, and
availability while also reducing operating and maintenance costs.
“We are honored
to receive this new order which underscores South Korea's confidence and trust
in our leading HL-class gas turbine technology to drive the decarbonization
targets of the country. The new plant will ensure the highest efficiencies in
power generation, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions,” said
Karim Amin, Executive Vice President Generation at Siemens Energy.
“The requirements for the Eumseong Unit 1 project are demanding, providing our customers with electricity at affordable prices over the long term and meeting South Koreas new Energy Policy. The outstanding performance of the HL-class technology in terms of efficiency, electrical output, and its world class serviceability were key reasons why we chose Siemens Energy as trusted partner,” said Ju Jae-Sik, the responsible construction division team leader at Korea East-West Power.
