Siemens To Provide Steam Turbine Modernisation
Siemens has been awarded a contract by Drax Power for the Unit 4 turbine upgrade outage, which is part of the five-year upgrade programme at the Drax coal-fired power station in the UK. The upgrades are integral to Drax's long-term strategy to reduce carbon emissions, which once complete will deliver an overall base load efficiency improvement of five per cent, taking it towards 40 per cent efficiency.
This project will provide a saving of one million tonnes of CO2 each year. Siemens was awarded the main contract for the upgrades on all six steam turbine generator units in 2007. The steam turbine modernisation project is scheduled for completion in 2012. Siemens will provide a design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning package for the upgrades.
