TDS Turbine Services to Oversee Aero-Derivative Technology for El Paso Electric
Technical Diagnostic Services (TDS), an industry leader for turbine services is pleased to announce its partnership with El Paso Electric to provide service to their new power facility that will provide power to 160,000 households.
Fort Worth, TX, September 24, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Technical Diagnostic Services (TDS), an industry leader for electrical testing, commissioning services, and equipment rentals, is pleased to announce its partnership with El Paso Electric to provide service to their new power facility running state-of-the-art aero-derivative technology. This new investment by El Paso Electric will generate enough power to provide electricity to approximately 160,000 households.
El Paso Electric (EPE) will build the Montana Power Station, a state-of-the-art power generating facility, consisting of four 106 megawatt (MW) simple-cycle aero-derivative combustion turbines. The aero-derivative technology is more fuel efficient (powered by natural gas), provides quick start capabilities (going from offline to fully loaded in less than 10 minutes) and increases power grid stability. EPE signed TDS to perform the installation and commissioning oversight of four new LMS100 turbine packages.
“This investment ensures that El Paso Electric has the electric generation capacity to meet our region’s growing needs for reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible electric service,” said Tom Shockley, CEO of EPE. “Technology was chosen to specifically meet our customers’ electric usage during peak times and adapt to the increased use of solar generation by our customers.”
True to the TDS commitment of providing qualified staff and exceptional service at affordable rates, the service and talent level of TDS turbine engineers is identical to that of OEM’s while saving the client a considerable sum of 40% with the OEM warranty intact. EPE and TDS worked with GE to ensure that there are no risks to the OEM warranty when TDS performs the turbine installation oversight. The TDS billing is a simplified one-fee pricing structured to eliminate double-time, premium pay and shift differentials that OEMs charge. Cost estimates are highly accurate based on man-hours. This provides TDS clients the maximum value with the highest level of quality.
