The 600MW Cengiz Enerji Samsun plant has an efficiency level of 61%.
Siemens has installed a SGT5-8000H gas turbine, SST5-5000 model steam turbine, SGen5-3000W generator, the electrical system and the SPPA-T3000 I&C system.
Designed for 200 starts annually, the plant has the capacity to power up to full load in less than 30 minutes, after a down-time of six hours. It can also adapt its output by more than 35MW per minute to meet the changing power requirements.
Samsung will provide services to the plant’s key components, under a long-term contract.
Cengiz was responsible for construction and installation work at the plant.
Siemens has sold 44 H-class gas turbines across the world, of which 16 are currently in commercial operation.
