Germany, Biblis: GE and RWE have announced the official inauguration of the Biblis power plant, which was commissioned in early March.
The plant uses 11 units of GE’s flexible aeroderivative gas turbine technology and advanced gas-insulated substation (GIS) equipment. The 300 MW plant is a so-called special grid-technical equipment located in Biblis, a municipality in the Southern Hesse region of Germany, and will only operate when needed – aiming to deliver power within 30 minutes upon request from a transmission system operator – to help ensure continual grid stability.
“With the plant in Biblis, we can feed in electricity quickly and flexibly at the request of the transmission grid operators and thus help to stabilize the grid in southern Hesse. With this project we’re adopting GE’s flexible and modularly designed aeroderivative gas technology and advanced protection, control, monitoring, and diagnostic technologies and software to monitor the safe condition of the plant”, said Roger Miesen, CEO of RWE Generation.
