ProEnergy and German electric utility RWE have opened a fully functional plant level string test facility for LM6000 gas turbines at the former’s campus in Sedalia in the US state of Missouri.
The construction of the string test facility was completed by ProEnergy in less than 200 days from the date of receiving the contract.
RWE’s subsidiary RWE Generation operates a flexible power plant portfolio in Germany. The company also operates highly efficient power plants across the UK and the Netherlands with a total capacity of over 25GW.
ProEnergy CEO Jeff Canon said: “Running a fully functional LM6000 string test facility in the United States is a unique advantage for the industry and ProEnergy, giving us a technological and engineering advantage as we push the limits of the LM6000 product capability and test new or improved gas turbine technology.”
