GE’s FlexEfficiency technology has been selected for a new power plant being developed by MetCap Energy Investments, a Turkish project developer. The project will produce the world’s first Integrated Renewables Combined Cycle (IRCC) Power Plant.
By designing the plant from a total equipment and control systems perspective and utilizing the flexibility of GE’s FlexEfficiency technology, engineers were able to seamlessly integrate natural gas, wind and solar thermal power. The FlexEfficiency 50 IRCC plant is designed for flexible operation by integrating a next-generation 50 Hz 9FB Gas Turbine, a steam turbine, a generator, 22MW of GE wind turbines and 50MW of eSolar concentrated solar thermal tower technology. The power plant will be located in Karaman, Turkey, and will be rated at 530MW at site conditions.
