Combined-cycle thermal power plant
The 230MW Gardabani combined-cycle thermal power plant in the Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia was developed by the Partnership Fund (PF), Georgia’s state-owned shareholding company, and its subsidiary the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation (GOGC). The combined-cycle thermal power plant has the capacity to produce 1.8TWh of energy annually and is the first of its kind in the country. The gas-fired power plant is located on 3ha of a site about 40km away from Tbilisi. It consists of two GE 6FA gas turbines, one 85MW steam turbine, two waste heat steam boilers and two natural gas compressors. The 6FA turbines are capable of operating at a net plant efficiency of 55% in combined-cycle operations. The 6FA gas turbine has a single shaft bolted rotor and is connected to the generator through a speed reduction gear at the compressor end. This configuration allows for an axial exhaust, which helps in enhancing the plant arrangements for combined-cycle applications. Turkish company Çalık Enerji was awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the Gardabani power plant. GE was awarded the contract to supply two 6FA turbines for the 230MW combined-cycle power plant. ILF Consulting Engineers was engaged to provide engineering services for the project.
Flenco is pleased to have been selected as preferred partner by Ge Energy to supply its auxiliary systems for this project. For further inquiries about this collaboration, you can ask your usual contact person at our Sales Department or complete and send us our contact form.
