- Includes more than $660 million in
Power Services orders
- First total power island order in Asia
and first HRSG technology use following Doosan acquisition in
August 2016
- Strong customer support of high
efficiency solutions throughout region
GE Power, a division of GE (NYSE:GE), today announced more than
$800 million in new orders across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region,
showcasing the company’s leadership in providing regional customers
with more efficient, reliable and sustainable solutions for the
digital transformation of electricity. Announced at this year’s
Power-Gen Asia industry conference in Seoul, GE’s APAC orders span
across the company’s comprehensive power generation portfolio.
Orders include the first heat recovery steam generator (HRSG)
technology project following GE’s acquisition of Korean-based
Doosan Engineering & Construction Heat Recovery Steam Generator
(HRSG) business in August 2016.
“In a post-COP21 world, GE is able to provide its latest digital
industrial solutions to help increase efficiencies, reduce
environmental impacts and lower costs for our customers and EPC
partners,” said Steve Bolze, president and CEO of GE Power, during
his opening keynote session at Power-Gen Asia. “With our portfolio
today, we are excited to bring our best resources and expertise to
the APAC region and help to power everyone.”
At the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21),
Korea announced its aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 37%
by 2030. GE’s broad power generation portfolio is well positioned
to support the country’s goals and regional customer needs with the
latest high-efficiency technologies. GE’s current Asia Pacific gas
turbine fleet consists of more than 1,000 units across 15
countries, comprising the largest gas turbine portfolio in the
region. GE units can deliver from 22 megawatts (MW) of power up to
519 MW, the equivalent power that would be needed to supply more
than 1 million homes in countries such as Japan and Korea. More
than 20,000 GE professionals work in the region with dedicated
facilities in 10 countries.
Today’s announcement includes more than $660 million in orders
from GE’s Power Services business (signed during the last 90 days),
providing customers with other-OEM service capabilities. Power
Services expanded its total plant solutions capabilities with GE’s
acquisition of Alstom’s Thermal Power business in 2015. GE also
continues to see growth in its combined cycle power plant
technologies such as HRSG to enable better plant performance.
Orders include:
Korea:
- First total power island order in Asia
for GE since the closure of the Alstom Power acquisition in 2015.
The $140 million order, from Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO),
includes a new 250 MW combined cycle power facility and will
feature two of GE’s 6F.03 gas turbines and a full-suite of
equipment, controls and maintenance parts. The order also marks
GE’s first use of HRSG technology following its Doosan E&C HRSG
acquisition, which will provide industry-leading combined-cycle
efficiency for Jeju Island, South Korea’s largest tourism
attraction.
Thailand:
- First Fast Stator Rewind upgrade and
life extension project in Thailand. The stator rewind project at
Sahacogen (Chonburi) Public Company Ltd.’s natural gas-fired
cogeneration plant in Chonburi province took 17 days to complete,
compared to the 30 days the industry normally takes to finish a
conventional rewind project for Asian utilities.
Malaysia:
- Made possible by the GE Store, 17
Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) packages, five transportable
switch rooms and the electrical balance of plant will be provided
to Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) group, through a strategic
partnership with PETRONAS subsidiary Prime Sourcing International
(PSI). Each EDG package will consist of one of GE’s 616 diesel
engines provided by GE’s Distributed Power business, which will be
bound in single packages provided by GE’s Power Conversion
business. The equipment will provide continuous backup power for
PETRONAS’ Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) refinery project in
Johor.
Also at Power-Gen Asia, GE’s Power Digital Solutions team
released a new white paper, “Using Advanced Analytics and Controls
to Drive Economic Value in a Complex Operating Environment.” The
paper highlights many benefits of GE’s digital advances for the
utility and industrial sectors. In particular, recommendations
include how to build the infrastructure, software and processes to
develop and apply advanced analytics within the Industrial Internet
architecture, moving from the controls layer to business
applications in the cloud. The white paper can be downloaded
here.
