ABB has won orders worth around $65m from Mass Global Investment, to provide a turnkey electrical and automation solution for a new gas-turbine power plant and build a substation extension. These installations will help boost power supplies and strengthen the transmission infrastructure in northern Iraq.
The new Dohuk 2 power plant will consist of four gas turbines rated 125 MW each. The 500 MW plant will be an extension of the existing 500 MW Dohuk 1 power station, which went into operation in 2011. ABB will design, supply and install the electrical balance of plant (EBoP) solution and provide the grid connection for the 500 MW open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) power plant. The new plant will be fuelled by natural gas and light fuel oil. It is scheduled to be operational in the fourth quarter 2013 and is the latest in a series of OCGT projects implemented by ABB for MGI. ABB will also extend a 132 kV substation delivered earlier, to connect the Dohuk 2 power plant to the grid.
In another project, ABB will supply a state-of-the-art control system and a 400 kV substation for the grid connection of the 1,000 MW Erbil OCGT plant, which will be converted to a CCGT plant by extending it with heat recovery steam generators and two steam turbines, boosting output by 470 MW.
