The company said deliveries have already begun and are expected to be finalized by the end of this year. The delivery includes overspeed and machine protection.
After the rebuild, the plant will be remote-controlled from the Kymijärvi natural-gas fired plant area in the city of Lahti.
The outdated PLC logic controller in the solar gas turbine will be replaced with the new automation.
The operators will be able to carry out all functions and diagnostics through one system in the future, thus improving plant availability.
Automation system will be the center wherein communication between the plants will be carried out without a separate remote control system.
Operators would be able to view all information from the turbine in the Kymijärvi main control room, which will speed up the troubleshooting of possible defects.
Lahti Energy produces and sells electricity to all parts of Finland, while Metso supplies technology and services to customers in the process industries, including power, and oil and gas.
