Siemens extended a long-term contract to provide service and maintenance, as well as component upgrades, at the Nubaria, Talkha, and El Kureimat power stations in Egypt. The agreement was signed under the supervision of Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC), represented by Middle Delta Electricity Production Company and Upper Egypt Electricity Production Company.
The 10-year extension calls for Siemens to continue providing service and maintenance for eight SGT5-4000F gas turbines and the associated generators.
In addition to long-term service and maintenance, the scope of the new agreement for the three power stations includes several modernization and upgrade measures for the eight gas turbines in order to improve operational flexibility. For example, Siemens will apply a 33MAC upgrade to extend the intervals between the gas turbine inspections from 25,000 equivalent operating hours (EOH) to 33,000 EOH.
Siemens will also upgrade the gas turbine controls to its market leading SPPA-T3000 control system. The upgrade will enable the plant operator to make faster, informed decisions in daily operation of the plant. A training program for the power plant personnel is also part of this new agreement.
