Plant Description
Cairo North power project consists of two modules each module includes two 250 MW combustion turbine generators (CTGs). Each one feeds exhaust gases to its respective heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). Steam from two HRSGs feeds one 250 MW, reheat, condensing steam turbine generator (STG).
The estimated 1500 MW net output is achieved by burning natural gas in the CTGs without supplementary HRSG firing. Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions are controlled by dry low-NOx (DLN) combustors. An inlet air filtration system supplies filtered combustion air to the CTGs. The steam exhausted from the steam turbine feeds a once-through cooling, single-pass, divided water box condenser.
Power is generated at 21 kV (or manufacturer standard voltage) in the CTGs and the STG, stepped up through main transformers, and fed to the utility grid via a 220 kV (GIS) switchyard. The Ismailia Canal provides the plant cooling water.
The project contracting plan utilized a multi-package system. Sixteen (16) contracting packages and purchase orders procured the equipment and services.
