In collaboration with the Chinese company Guangdong Liyu New Energy Science & Technology Co Ltd, MAN Diesel & Turbo is supplying a compact gas turbine package for the decentralised production of heat and power in China. The end user is ENN Ubiquitous Energy Network Technology Co Ltd, a subsidiary of the ENN Group, one of China’s largest private energy companies. At the heart of the unit is a MAN MGT series gas turbine which will produce approximately 6 MW of power and 12 MW of heat for an industrial zone in Huai’an (Jiangsu province).
“This order from China for the MGT series emphasises how the energy market is developing: there is an increased focus… on emissions reduction and maximum efficiency in heat and power installations”, according to Armin Haller, senior VP, MAN Diesel & Turbo, sales & contracts, industries division.
As with previous projects undertaken by MAN Diesel & Turbo in China, the new facility replaces an existing coal-fired installation. This is a further contribution to the Chinese government’s aim of lowering emissions significantly by moving towards highly efficient, gas-powered installations.
“A particular feature of the project is the extremely short lead time, which we managed to meet by supplying a machine that was ready for immediate use”, explained Nadège Laurent, project manager, MAN Diesel & Turbo. “The Chinese energy sector has a target of making further reductions in emissions by 2020. We see the customer’s short lead time as a positive indication of the urgency with which Chinese industry is pursuing these objectives.”
