Toshiba Corporation has won a major order to supply a flash steam turbine system and generator (STG) for Turkey’s Kizildere III Geothermal Power Plant-Unit 2.
Zorlu Energy, an independent power producer and member of Turkey’s Zorlu Energy Group, will construct the plant in Kizildere, in the Aydin province of West Anatolia, Turkey.
Toshiba will deliver the generation equipment in July 2017. Support for this major low-emission project will allow Toshiba to expand its green footprint in Turkey and support Turkey in deploying low-carbon power solutions.
Energy consumption in Turkey is growing fast, driven by population growth and economic development.
Toshiba concluded a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Zorlu Energy Group in January this year, covering construction of geothermal, thermal and hydro power plants.
Toshiba and Zorlu Energy Group have successfully worked together on past projects and will continue to cooperate in developing Turkey’s power sector under the scope of the MoU.
Kizildere III Geothermal Power Plant’s Unit 2 is a 70,000 kW, high-efficiency triple flash combined-cycle geothermal power plant.
It will integrate two systems: An approximately 50,700 kW flash steam generation system driven by steam under high pressure; plus an approximately 19,300 kW binary cycle power generation system that uses flash turbine exhaust steam to vaporize a working fluid with a lower boiling point and use it to drive a turbine.
Toshiba delivered a flash power generation system for the Zorlu Energy Group’s Alasehir Geothermal Power Plant in 2014, its first in Turkey.
Takao Konishi, VP of the thermal and hydro power systems and services division in Toshiba’s Energy Systems & Solutions Company, said: “This new order is a testimony to customer trust in the reliability and performance of our cost-competitive products. Toshiba will continue to promote high-efficiency STGs for geothermal plants in Turkey, East Africa, South America and other promising markets.”
