Our Siemens SCC5-4000F 2x1 reference power plant (RPP) uses integrated fast-start technology and eliminates the need to predict future operational regimes for the plant, as it retains its high 58.2% net efficiency with a triple-pressure reheat bottoming cycle. The Siemens SPPA-T3000 power plant automation control system provides an easy-to-use control platform for the entire combined cycle power plant. Additionally, the Siemens SST5-5000 steam turbine and the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with a Benson high-pressure (HP) evaporator, contribute to fast startup times which subsequently reduce emissions.

 

Based on the long-proven modularized reference power plant approach, the SCC5-4000F 2x1 provides the flexibility for easy selection of options to meet specific site and customer needs. The advanced reference plant is not only one of the most powerful and efficient F-class plants on the market today, but also one of the most environmentally friendly with a significant reduction in emissions and water consumption. It provides an optimum balance between capital cost, plant performance, and operational and maintenance considerations. Pre-engineered modular options have been developed to further address individual needs, as well as life-cycle cost enhancements. Plant exhaust emissions are minimized by the use of the proven Siemens dry low-NO_x hybrid burner ring (HBR) combustion system. The use of identical air-cooled generators for the gas and steam turbines eliminates the need for hydrogen handling and supply, and improves asset management through reduced spares provision.
