Finland-headed forest industry and energy technology major Valmet Oyj has announced that it will deliver a turbine automation system to Statkraft’s gas power plant in Emden, Germany.
According to a statement, the new system will replace an obsolete third-party turbine controller on a gas turbine. Modern automation will ensure the future availability of the turbine to produce peak energy to the local grid.
Valmet’s delivery scope includes a Valmet DNA Gas Turbine Control System, a turbine protection system, a trend and event server as well as monitoring and engineering servers. Field cable engineering and installation are included, too.
The new turbine automation, the value of which has not been disclosed, will be commissioned in September 2023.
Valmet has experience with several gas turbine automation retrofits. We are pleased to be Statkraft’s partner for the turbine renovation project in Emden and will be glad to support them to achieve their global targets, said Johann Hilgers, Sales Manager, Automation Systems business line, Valmet.
