Alison KB501 Upgrade | Offshore, Gabon

Perenco production activity in Gabon began in 1992 with the acquisition of mature fields off Port-Gentil, with 8,000 barrels of oil produced daily. 26 years later, the annual average production reached 90,000 boepd and 50 million cubic feet of natural gas in 2017. This growth was supported by the continuous development of mature fields, a balanced acquisition strategy and several exploration successes.

Perenco Gabon operates oil and gas licenses both offshore and onshore. In addition to this oil and gas portfolio, there are two floating offshore storage and offloading units (FSO, Floating storage and offloading) offshore. For over 10 years, They has been providing natural gas to the power stations of Libreville and Port-Gentil. The gas is produced onshore, processed in accordance with the current specifications and delivered under pressure using a 450 km pipeline.

Grid Compliance | Taylors Lane, Uniper UK

Taylors Lane Power Plant was opened in 1979 by the Central Electricity Generating Board. It’s now operated by Uniper. The plant can be operated remotely from Enfield Power Station or on site. There are two generator units fired on gas-oil with a capacity of 132 MW. Each unit uses 4 gas generators derived from the Rolls-Royce Olympus jet engine.

Taylors Lane power station is operated by Uniper and is located in London near Wembley Stadium. It consists of two DEO2 (double ended twin RR Olympus engines) gas turbines operated in open cycle mode, developing 70MW each. The turbines were originally installed in the 1970’s by GEC Gas Turbines and provide electrical grid support in times of peak demand.

Low Voltage Switchgear | CEC, Zambia

Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC), Zambia owns and operates a number of Avon powered standby generators which provide emergency power to local copper mines in the event of loss of supply from the national distribution network. These gas turbines are also used for peak load control and it is therefore essential that these sets are available for operation and have high start reliability.

Steam Turbine Control System | Coventry, UK

Coventry and Solihull Waste Disposal Company Ltd (CSWDC) operate a waste processing plant in Coventry. Some of the waste is burnt and the resultant heat is used to produce steam which in turn is used to generate electricity through two steam turbines rated at 5MWe and 12MWe. The control system of the 5 MW steam turbine was becoming increasingly unreliable resulting in a number of unscheduled shutdowns.

Static Excitation System | CEC, Zambia

Copperbelt Energy Corporation operate a twin RR Avon gas turbine generator (EA2) at their copper mine in Luano, Zambia. The unit operates in simple cycle mode and is used for grid support and for emergency generation to the mine in the event of grid supply failure. The gas turbine was installed by GEC in the mid 1970s.

Control System Retrofit | Uniper Energy, Sweden

E-ON operates a twin Olympus gas turbine generator (EO2) at their Karlshamn power plant in southern Sweden. The unit operates in simple cycle mode and is used for grid support and for black start of the main generators at the power station. The key requirements of the gas turbine are to start reliably at short notice following long periods of being shutdown. The gas turbine was installed by GEC in the mid 1970s.

Control System Retrofit | RWE, UK

Cowes Power Station operates two 70 MW diesel fired simple cycle Olympus gas turbines for peak load and synchronous compensation duties. The units were originally installed in 1982 by Rolls Royce. Both units had been retrofitted with Woodward Netcon governors in the early 1990s.
