SamalkotPowerLimited,a100%subsidiaryofReliancePowerLimited,isimplementinga2262MWGasBasedCombinedCyclePowerProject (CCPP)adjacent to theexisting220 MW naphtha/gas based combined cycle power plant and is located at notifiedindustrial area IDA Peddapuram near Samalkot, East Godavari district, AndhraPradesh,India.
ProjectConfiguration
The2262MWCCPPprojectenvisages3powerblockseachwithgrosscapacityof754MWatsiteambientcondition.
Eachblock comprisesof2+2+1multi shaft configuration, consistingof twoGE9351FAGas turbines (243MWcapacity), twoTriplePressureHorizontalHeatRecoverySteamGenerators(HRSG)andoneGED11steamturbine (268MWcapacity).Thegeneratorsare hydrogen cooled and supplied by GE, USA. (We were informed that the first 2generatorsaresuppliedbyGEfromToshiba,JapanandtheremaininggeneratorswouldbesuppliedbyGE,USAdirectly.)
