Siemens has been awarded an
order for the turnkey supply of
the Panda Sherman Power Project
in Sherman, Texas. The company will
supply the natural-gas fired
combined-cycle power plant in
consortium with its partner,
Bechtel. The purchaser for this
advanced power plant is Panda
Power Funds headquartered in
Dallas, Texas.
The multi-shaft combined-cycle
plant will be a Siemens "Flex-Plant
30", with a gross installed electrical
capacity of 758 mw. This plant will be
among the cleanest fossil-fueled
plants in the USA with carbon
monoxide (CO) emissions less than 10
parts per million (ppm), and nitrogen
oxide (NOx) emissions less than 2.0
ppm. Once completed end of 2014 the
generating station will be able to
supply the power needs of
approximately 750,000 homes in the
North Texas area. The order volume
including a long-term service
agreement is approximately $300
million.
The natural-gas-fired Panda
Sherman CCPP will be located at the
Progress Industrial Park 3 in South
Sherman. Siemens will deliver the
power island equipment, including
two SGT6-5000F gas turbines, one
SST6-5000 steam turbine, two SGen6-
1000A generators, one SGen6-2000H
generator, the SPPA-T3000
instrumentation and control system
as well as two Benson heavy ductfired
heat recovery steam generators
manufactured by NEM. A long-term
service agreement has also been signed
for the main generation components.
Bechtel will be responsible for the
engineering and procurement for the
balance of the plant, and the
installation, construction and
commissioning of the facility.
