The first hybrid power plant that combines natural gas, sun and wind will be born in Turkey by 2015
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himIn addition to cars, power plants can also be awarded the title of "hybrid". And this will happen by 2015 in Turkey where the prima hybrid power plantnourished da gas, wind and sun.
The announcement was made by GE, the General Electric, on the occasion of the conference PoweGen Europe which took place in recent days in Milan. The intentions of the American company, therefore, are the construction of a new plant whose production will depend on the combined action of one natural gas turbine new generation, wind turbines oer a power of 22 Mw e concentrating solar plants (50 Mw), able to generate a total of about 530 Megawatts of energy.
The project, presented to the MetCap Energy Investments, it will be made with technology “Flex Efficiency”. At full capacity, the power plant should power at least 600 thousand homes with zero liquid discharge. The entry into operation is also simple, initiated by a simple button, and a wait of 30 minutes maximum.
Thanks to a new technology, the aim will be to reach the 20-20-20 EU objective, which provides for the reduction of emissions, energy saving and consumption of renewables with the climate-energy package.
“The Ircc FlexEfficiency 50 plant, which makes use of the skills gained by GE in the aeronautical engine sector, it is based on the integration of wind energy, natural gas and solar thermal “, he explained Paul Browning, president and CEO of Thermal products of Ge Energy, "and aims to provide a cleaner, more affordable and reliable energy solution".
The plant will be built in Karaman, Turkey. “In the Turkish plant - he continues Browning - we will reach an efficiency of 69%, but this technology offers the possibility of even exceeding the 70% threshold ".
