NEW TURBINE UPGRADES FOR QATAR FROM GE

E will provide five Advanced Gas Path (AGP) upgrade units, maintenance services for 15 years and cybersecurity solutions for five years for a 1080 MW power plant in Qatar. The company said the agreement with Qatalum marks the first time that the AGP solution will be deployed in Qatar. Four of the AGP upgrades will be installed on 9F gas turbines at Qatalum’s power plant, and one unit will be kept as a spare. It is expected to help Qatalum enhance its power output by up to 96.7 MW with improved plant efficiency; increase the availability of its gas turbines and lower operational expenses by increasing the interval between their planned maintenance cycles from 24 000 factored fired hours (FFH) to up to

32,000 FFH.
