PEECO Completes Supply and Commissioning of 10.4MWe Gas Turbine Power Plant at Prudhoe Bay, AK. Electric Utility
Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co. (PEECO) has provided major upgrades to double the utilities electrical capacity with a 10.4MWe Gas Turbine Power Plant in Prudhoe Bay, AK.
Aston, PA, February 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- PEECO has completed the installation of two (2) 5.2MWe Solar Gas Turbine Power Plants along with PEECO’s Freedom iGear Paralleling Master Control System and 15KV primary distribution improvements. This upgrade doubles the utilities generation capabilities.
The power plant system was commissioned in December 2009 and was officially put on line January 17, 2010 bringing the total system of installed capacity to 22MWe.
Some of the unique features of the power plant are PEECO’s Freedom iGear, an "Open Architecture PLC Control and Paralleling Switchgear System," which allows complete operation from either plant location, control and monitoring of each generator and control of all distribution feeders.
User friendly Touch Screen HMI’s located in both plant locations provide complete real-time status and data logging of the total system, each generating plant, and all primary feeders distributing throughout the 26 square mile 15KV underground distribution network. Individual generators can be started and seamlessly paralleled manually or automatically at each plant. Each generator operating condition is fully monitored to maintain optimum efficiency. Monitoring now captures power quality, fuel efficiency and load trending across all critical points in the system.
Control interconnection between the two plants is via a 5 mile dedicated underground fiber to PEECO’s supplied GE RX3i PLCs and Woodward Governing systems. All screen display and code development for systems operation and monitoring was written by PEECO Engineering Group implementing multiple protocols via Fiber to Ethernet to serial links for Modbus RTU and DH+.
