Plant Description
Giza North power project consists of three modules each module includes two 250 MW Combustion Turbine Generators (CTGs). Each one feeds exhaust gases to its respective unfired Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). Steam from the two HRSGs feeds one 250 MW, single reheat, condensing Steam Turbine Generator (STG).
The estimated 2250 MW output is achieved by burning natural gas in the combustion turbines with no supplementary HRSG firing. Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions are controlled by dry low-NOx (DLN) combustors. An inlet air filtration system is included to supply suitably filtered combustion air to the CTGs. The steam exhausted from the steam turbine is feeds a once-through cooling, single-pass, divided water box condenser.
Power is generated at manufacturer standard voltage in the CTGs and the STG, stepped up through main transformers, and fed to the National grid via a 500 kV & 220 kV, GIS switchyard. The Rayah Behery provides the plant cooling water.
The project contracting plan utilized a multi-package system. Seventeen (17) contracting packages and purchase orders procured the equipment and services.
