PLANT DESCRIPTION

Consists of two 250 MW combustion turbine generators (CTGs) that are connected to unfired heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs). These generators produce exhaust gases that are used to heat steam in the HRSGs. The steam from the HRSGs is then fed into a 250 MW steam turbine generator (STG) that has a single reheat and condensing system. The estimated net output of the project is 750 MW, achieved by burning natural gas in the CTGs without supplementary firing. To control nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, the project utilizes dry low-NOx (DLN) combustors. The CTGs receive filtered combustion air from an inlet air filtration system. The steam exhausted from the steam turbine is cooled through a once-through cooling system and a divided water box condenser. The power generated in the CTGs and the STG is stepped up through main transformers and transmitted to the national grid via a 220 kV switchyard with a gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). The cooling water for the project is sourced from the Nile River and then discharged to the Marquase Canal. The project contracting plan involved using a multi-package system, which included sixteen contracting packages and purchase orders to procure the necessary equipment and services.
