KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 -- PW Power Systems (PWPS), an aero-derivative power generation energy solutions provider announced that Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) has three PWPS FT8® MOBILEPAC® gas turbines ready for operation.
According to a statement, the 30-megawatt mobile gas turbine units are now available for emergency power, as well as for grid security in support of Puerto Rico’s environmental sustainability plan.
PWPS supported ARG Precision Corporation, which completed the turnkey installation of the FT8 MOBILEPAC dual-fuel capacity gas turbines at the Palo Seco Power Plant in Toa Baja.
According to Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vazquez, the three generators provide opportunity for fast response in the event of an emergency or situation where energy is lost in the metropolitan area.
“In eight to 10 minutes, we can energise the system and provide electricity to about 40,000 customers. Critical services such as hospitals in the metropolitan area will also have that security.”
PWPS President and Chief Executive Officer, Raul Pereda said: “For the long term, this technology is a multi-faceted solution that helps to achieve resilience when extreme weather hits and allows PREPA to move toward integration with the new renewable portfolio standard.
“Its energy efficiency and fast-start demand response provide significant flexibility when dealing with the challenge of uncertain load forecasts and supplies reliable power when Puerto Rico needs it most.”
