A large-scale project is being implemented in the Republic of Belarus to create peak-standby energy sources

22 April 2020

Energy sources are created on the basis of Siemens SGT-800 gas turbine units. The facilities will be built at the sites of existing thermal power plants of the RUE Minskenergo, Brestenergo and Vitebskenergo.

At the Minsk CHPP-5 will operate gas turbine power plant (GTPP) with a capacity of 300 MW consisting of 6 gas turbines SGT-800, at the Berezovskaya SDPP - GTPP-254MW (5 turbines), at the Lukomlskaya SDPP - GTPP-150MW (3 turbines), at the Novopolotsk CHPP - GTPP-100MW (2 turbines). It is assumed that the operating time of each peak power facility will be approximately 700 hours per year and up to 350 starts from the cold state.

New capacities are aimed at increasing the reliability and flexibility of the country's power grid. Gas-turbine power units will be used as a reserve both for the existing infrastructure and for future wind, solar and nuclear power plants. The project also contributes to the decarbonization of the economy and the transition to a new energy structure in Belarus.

The full-range equipment supplier and EPC-contractor is Siemens Energy AB. The full scope of supply includes 16 turbines with generators, gas receiving stations, booster compressors, high, medium and low voltage equipment, as well as PCS7 control systems.

As part of this project, the Russian Company ENERGAS, together with its Swiss partner Enerproject SA, will supply for Siemens set of gas treatment and fuel supply equipment - gas receiving stations (gas treatment stations) and gas compressor stations.
