KOSPO taps GE for gas turbines for new South Korea power plant

The gas turbines will generate power with lower NOx emissions.

Korean Southern Power Co's (KOSPO), along with consortium partner Daewoo E&C, new Shinsejong combined cycle power plant in Sejong, South Korea will generate power to sell at the Korea Power Exchange.

The new power plant will also supply district heating to Sejong City.

For the project, KOSPO has ordered main equipment from natural gas power technology, services, and solutions provider GE, including a 7HA.03, an efficient and flexible 60Hz gas turbine.

“GE’s DLN 2.6e combustion system, with its advanced premixer technology installed in GE 60Hz H-class turbines, offers a step change in performance, emissions and fuel flexibility that will enable the 7HA.03 gas turbines installed at Shinsejong to generate power with lower NOx emissions, three parts per million of NOx at the main stack with most efficient aftertreatment system,” said GE in a media release.

The new plant will help KOSPO meet the city’s growing demand for heat, air conditioning, and electricity whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
