Inauguration of inlet air cooling systems of Shahroud power plant

Managing director of Shahroud Power Generation Company in the ceremony of opening and exploitation of the cooling system of the air entering the gas turbines of Shahid Bastami Shahroud Power Plant, which was attended by the director of technical support and supervision of the production of power plants and provincial authorities: This cooling system was delivered by TABA Engineering and Services Co., with the capacity of domestic engineers and external consultants in less than six months, and even 45 days earlier than due date.

This modern cooling system is built by domestic engineers (TABA Company), Hashtgerd and Isfahan workshops and installed at Shahroud Power Plant and can greatly increase the power supply by utilizing it. Because the power lost through the heat in this system is minimized.

"The growth rate is higher than many developing countries," said the General Director of the Power Plant Support Office, saying that the electricity industry in our country has grown by 8% annually.

Gholamreza Mehrdad said: "The cost of the electric power industry is very expensive in the manufacturing sector and in the investment category, but with this Now, our colleagues in the electricity industry, with regard to resistance policies, are still struggling for the welfare of the people, and with domestic capacities are seeking to serve the people well. He appreciated TABA Co. as the designer and executor of the Shahid Bastami power plant cooling system and added that the system, which was launched by TABA Company with the advice of the German company Optima, has made it economical, in addition to increasing the power and efficiency of the power plant.

IFA Service TABA told the reporters: The project of the cooling system of the air inlet of the gas turbines with the evaporation method at Shahid Bastami Shahroud power plant, which is in the form of an EPC contract (engineering, supply and operation) was done by TABA Company and with the assistance of a European partner (Germany's Optimizer company), it was launched 138 days after the announcement, and thank God that today, in addition to being able to deliver the project 45 days earlier than expected, in terms of power boost, it has also been 30 percent more than the commitment.

Engineer Ali Nikbakht, regarding the operation of the project, said: "Since the V94.2 type gas turbines in the country during the summer have 0.7 of a decrease in power generation per degree of ambient temperature increase, this system helps reducing the turbine input temperature by the media method increasing turbine efficiency and power, which has been affected by the system for two turbine units installed at Shahroud power plant for about 35 megawatts in peak summer conditions.

Engineer Ali Azizi, project manager of Shahid Bastami power plant cooling system, said that economically, this project, in addition to its effectiveness in the electricity industry, has created nearly 7,000 day employed jobs in the country, accounting for 52 percent of the employment share Local in Shahrud and Semnan province. Its other feature is its cost-effectiveness as it is a very early return on the project, and the cost to build it is back in two summer seasons.

He added that the importance of this project, in addition to increasing production, is low investment, and if this type of project is not carried out in the country, it will require investment for the construction of new power plants, which will cost about ten times this system.

Member of the board of directors of TABA Engineering & Services Co., referring to the year of the resistance economy, said that this was perhaps one of the most operational projects in post-sanctions conditions, which by using technology transfer and domestication of this knowledge within the country and the maximum use of power Construction succeeded in reaching the desired result, and they further stated that the construction of concrete tanks, the construction of a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, as well as evaporation air coolers, were the three most important parts of the project, was successfully completed.

Engineer Majid Zarei added that the company based on two main strategies provides new power plant services with new ways and words, as the establishment of strategic partnership with foreign partners in the field of knowledge and development of work within the country and designing and operating the cooler of the company's portfolio of coolers Evaporation in the field of power plant, reverse engineering and manufacturing of power engineering parts, life cycle of products and equipment of power plants, engineering, supply and execution of renovation projects, as well as cooling and optimization projects the exploitation of powerhouses is done by the experience of experienced managers with engineering and management team of TABA services.
