DEWA Completes 53% of M-Station Expansion
Dubai, UAE, 27 December 2016: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has actually revealed that it has actually completed 53% of the M-Station development project. The M-Station is the most recent and biggest power production and water desalination plant in the UAE. DEWA completed 3.9 million secure man-hours without any injuries.
DEWA is set to inaugurate two gas turbine generators on 31 May 2017, which will certainly be complied with by the enhancement of two heat recuperation vapor wind turbine generators and one back-pressure heavy steam turbine on 30 April 2018. This will certainly increase the plant's thermal efficiency from 82.4% to 85.8%, which is thought about among the greatest thermal-efficiency rates on the planet.
The complete expense of M-Station will certainly be AED 11.62 billion. It was introduced in 2013 at a price of AED 10.15 billion, and the approximated price of the development project is AED 1.47 billion. The project will certainly be finished and delivered by end of April 2018.
The expansion project includes brand-new power generation systems with a capacity of 700MW to be added to the present ability of the station to eventually produce 2,760 MW by 2018. Its present complete capability is 2,060 MW of electrical energy and 140 million royal gallons of water per day (MIGD). The station adopts the highest degree of availability, dependability, and effectiveness, utilizing the most advanced innovations on the world.
HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, was informed by agents from Siemens on the project including its operational procedure and completion. DEWA has actually selected Mott MacDonald as the working as a consultant company of the project. Nasser Lootah, Executive Vice President of Generation at DEWA, and Mansoor Al Suwaidi, Vice President for Projects Generation at DEWA, joined HE Al Tayer during the trip.
The M-Station is outfitted with the current and most sophisticated technological systems. It was introduced in 2013 at a cost of AED 10.15 billion. This includes AED 6.2 billion for electricity to provide 2060MW through 6 Siemens (F) model gas wind turbines with a capacity of 234MW each, 6 warmth recovery vapor turbine generators, and 3 back-pressure steam wind turbines with a capability of 218MW each. The project has been finished in phases because mid-2010. The desalination expense is AED 3.95 billion making use of 8 desalination units with multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) innovation, with a capability of 17.5 million MIGD for every system, with a total of 140 million gallons per day. There are 2 dual-fuel terminated auxiliary central heating boilers of 390 tonnes each hour and 16 fuel oil storage tanks each with an ability of 20,000 cubic metres. The total gas tank's capacity is 320,000 cubic meters.
DEWA continues to build a solid framework to improve its set up capacity, which is presently 9,900 MW of power and 470 million MIGD. DEWA boosted its performance price between 84-90%, while production capability enhanced by 27% in 2015 as compared to 2006, with using effective innovations in electricity production and desalination.
DEWA has achieved encouraging success in power transmission and distribution. DEWA currently operates 21 (400kV) substations, and 222 (132kV) substations.
