Siemens wins first order for SGT-800 gas turbines in China
Siemens has received its first order from
China for the
delivery of four SGT-800 gas turbines and the
associated generators.
The turbines will be installed in the Shanxi Guoxin
Baode and Xiyang decentralized
energy projects in Central China. The two combined cycle power plants with heat
extraction will have an overall capacity of 308 megawatts (MW). The
customer is Shanxi Natural Gas Limited Company, a subsidiary of Shanxi
Provincial
Guoxin Energy Development Group Co., Ltd.. Commercial
operation of the plants is scheduled for July 2017.

Four gas turbines of type SGT-800 will be installed in the Shanxi Guoxin Baode and Xiyang combined
cycle power plants.
Siemens delivers four gas turbines of type
SGT-800 with the 54-MW rating to China. Two gas turbines and two generators are
to be installed in a 2x1 combined cycle power plant with heat extraction at
each site. Siemens also supplies all associated auxiliary systems as well as installation and commissioning services for the projects. Both
combined cycle power plants will be fired with coalbed methane, a form of
natural gas from an unconventional gas reservoir with high hydrogen content.
The SGT-800 is able to fire this gas due to its high fuel flexibility.
"This first order of SGT-800 gas
turbines is a breakthrough success for us on the fast developing Chinese
decentralized energy
market," said Yao Zhen Guo, Country Division Lead for Power and
Gas and Wind Power and Renewables in China. "As a trustworthy partner, we are
happy that we can support Guoxin Energy with world leading gas turbine
technologies."
"We are pleased to cooperate with Siemens for our
key decentralized energy project," said Liang Xiehu, Chairman of Shanxi
Provincial Guoxin Energy Development Group Co., Ltd.. "The success
of the project requires strong and committed
partners, and we are convinced
that
with its technology expertise and proven successful references across the
globe, Siemens is the right one."
Worldwide 297 SGT-800 gas turbines have been sold and the fleet has
accumulated about 4 million operating hours. The efficiency and steam-raising
capability of the SGT-800 makes the turbine especially suitable for
cogeneration and combined cycle applications. The high reliability and high
efficiency of the gas turbine promote both a low life-cycle cost and a small
environmental footprint.
According to China's 12
th
Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development, China will pay high attention
to develop the decentralized energy market, especially fueled by natural gas.
Siemens supports these ambitious goals with the delivery of gas turbines for
the Shanxi Guoxin Baode and Xiyang power plants.
