GE Energy has been awarded a complete plant control system contract for the Marafiq Independent Water and Power project in Saudi Arabia. The firm has also won a contract worth $2.5 million to provide a total plant control system for Gujarat, India-based Adani Power's power plant project.
The Marafiq project, which is claimed to be the world's largest combined power and water facility, includes a 2,500MW power generation and 800,000 cubic meters per day desalinated water production facility. GE had earlier announced plans to supply four combined-cycle power blocks to the project, including the frame 7FA gas turbines.
In addition to the complete control system, GE's scope will also include steam turbines, generators, auxiliary equipment, heat recovery steam generators, design and engineering, project management, technical advisory services, performance testing and training.
GE has also agreed with Adani Power to provide an integrated control and protection system that encompasses all subsystems of Adani Power's new power plant process, including turbine controls and protection, burner management system and plant-wide controls.
