General Description:
The project activity will convert two General Electric 6FA gas turbines
currently operating in
open cycle mode to combined cycle operation at
Guaracachi power station in Santa Cruz,
Bolivia. This will involve the
installation of two heat recovery steam generating boilers
which utilize the
waste heat from the gas turbine to raise steam. The steam will be used
to
generate electricity using an associated steam turbine; operating the 6FA
gas turbines
in combined cycle mode results in significant efficiency gains.
This is the first project of this
type in Bolivia.
The two 6FA gas turbines have a combined installed capacity of 112 MW. The
project will
result in the installation of a further 80 MW of generating
capacity. Therefore electricity will
be generated more efficiently; less gas
will be combusted per unit of electricity generates.
Project lifetime:
20
years.
Accreditation period:
10
years.
Baseline and Monitoring Methodology:
The CDM project proposed is have been elaborated on the basis of the new
baseline
methodology: Open Cycle to combined cycle gas turbine conversion
connected to an
economically dispatched, centrally controlled grid.
Estimated Greenhouse Gases Emissions
Reductions:
Up
to and including 2012: 2.27millions tCO2e
Up
to period of 10 years:: 3.4 millions tCO2e
Project Benefits:
This project contributes to enforce the National System..
Better use will be made of the natural gas resources of Bolivia through the
efficiency gains
of the project.
The proposed CCGT conversion is the first in Bolivia.
The CCGT project will increase the skilled workforce required at the
generating station. The
CCGT will result in training of local workers.
There is the potential for other CCGT conversion projects in Bolivia, the
proposed project
at Guaracachi will result in the transfer of technology and
knowledge to Bolivia to help to
facilitate of the efficiency improvement
across the grid.
Total Project cost estimate:
Not available.
Current status:
The Project has a PDD, and a Approval letter in process.
