with a focus on investing in a portfolio
of renewable energy, supported by efficient
gas power, " said Enrique Alba, CEO
of Iberdrola Mexico. " Flexibility is essential
for incorporating renewable energy
sources into the grid like wind and solar
power and GE Vernova's H-Class equipment,
at the heart of our Topolobampo
III power plant, is crucial to support the
growth of renewables power generation
in Mexico. We are proud to celebrate this
milestone project with GE Vernova. It
further strengthens our longstanding relationship
with a player which has always
provided us with both the most reliable
two of GE Vernova's 7HA.01 gas turbines,
a D650 steam turbine, three H53 generators,
and advanced plant control systems
with GE Vernova's integrated Mark* VIe
Distributed Control System (DCS), offering
the possibility to use real-time data to
deliver better outcomes supporting stable
and efficient operations. The package is
aimed to help Iberdrola improve asset visibility,
reliability, and availability while reducing
operating and maintenance costs.
The plant's two heat recovery steam
generators (HRSGs) were supplied by
CERREY, GE Vernova's local HRSG technology
licensee. The plant also features
a custom-designed soundproof genset
with an integrated control cabinet, which
helps meet the unique requirements
of the power plant, as Topolobambo III
contains special loads that necessitate
continuous power to ensure optimal operations.
For example, components such as
lubrication pumps and cooling units must
always remain functional, enabling the
entire system to be shut down safely in
the event of a power outage. The genset
helps to facilitate this operation, and its
automation allows for the integration of
external automatic transfer switches, as
well as other switches, to ensure adherence
to the start-up and stop sequence.
" In Mexico, GE Vernova continues to
support the progress of the country's
energy goals, working alongside our
long-term customer Iberdrola. As the demand
for electricity in Mexico continues
to grow at a rapid pace, our HA technology,
extended scope products, and advanced
digital capabilities are helping
to transform the way future demands
are met by delivering more reliable, efficient,
and flexible power to the country, "
said Dave Ross, president and CEO
for GE Vernova's Gas Power business in
the Americas. " We are proud to be part
of this exciting project, which marks the
first order for our 7HA.01 technology in
Mexico. The 7HA gas turbine at its core
was engineered from the ground up to
be extremely efficient and flexible to
help lower emissions and meet fluctuating
demand. We expect continued efficiency
gains in the years to come. "
GE Vernova officials said the company
