Turnkey combined-cycle power plant
Alba Project Abstract
GE Power, a division of GE (NYSE: GE), announced an order from Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) for a turnkey combined-cycle power plant, including three GE HA gas turbines, which will power the world’s largest single-site smelter. This win marks the first order for GE H-Class turbines in the Gulf, as well as the first use of H-Class turbines by the aluminum smelting industry anywhere in the world. GE and GAMA, the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner will together oversee the design, engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of Power Station 5, a plant capable of generating 1,792 megawatts. The HA is GE’s largest and most efficient gas turbine. In June 2016, GE was recognized by Guinness World Records for powering the world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant with its HA technology. In addition to three HA gas turbines, the combined-cycle project order includes three A651 steam turbines, three heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) and other equipment. GE’s industry-leading HRSG technology became part of the company’s portfolio in 2015 as a result of GE’s acquisition of Alstom Power in November 2015. .
