Besmaya Power Station 5000 MW in Baghdad (BGPS)-Iraq-Baghdad-Besmaya
MASS GROUP HOLDING CONTRACTED THE MINISTRY OF ELECTRICITY IN
BAGHDAD TO CONSTRUCT A MEGA POWER PLANT TO FEED THE CAPITAL BAGHDAD WITH A
CAPACITY OF
5000 MEGAWATTS ON BUILD, OWN, AND OPERATE BASIS (BOO). THE
SITE WORK STARTED AT IN EARLY 2015 ON THREE PHASES, EACH PHASE WITH CAPACITY OF
1,500 MW,
ADDING A NEW FOURTH PHASE WITH A CAPACITY OF 500 MEGAWATTS.
BESMAYA POWER STATION LOCATED EAST OF THE CAPITAL BAGHDAD, OPERATES
IN COMBINED CYCLE SYSTEM, MAKING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PRODUCTION UNITS 19 UNITS (13
GAS TURBINES AND 6 STEAM TURBINES) WITH A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 5000
MW.
THE GAS GENERATING UNITS ARE OF THE TYPE OF (9F-FRAME) MANUFACTURED
BY THE GE-AMERICAN COMPANY AND OPERATE MAINLY ON GAS FUEL AND ON DIESEL FUEL
WHEN
NEEDED AS WELL. AS FOR THE STEAM UNITS OF THE TYPE (C-7,
D-200) FROM GE AS WELL, AND ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT FROM THE EUROPEAN ORIGINS SUCH
AS HRSGS FROM
CMI BELGIUM, ACC FROM ENEXIO GERMANY, THE MAIN AND
SUBSIDIARY TRANSFORMERS FROM SIEMENS GERMANY, THE MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM FROM EMERSON
-AMERICAN, AND
THE GAS PRESSURE REDUCING AND CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS FROM PETRO
GAS -DUTCH COMPANY
IN THE COMBINED CYCLE SYSTEM, THE HIGH HEAT EMITTED FROM THE
EXHAUSTS COMING OUT OF THE GAS GENERATING UNITS IS EXPLOITED AND PASSED TO (HRSG)
BOILERS THAT
HEAT THE WATER TO OBTAIN STEAM OF HIGH TEMPERATURE AND
PRESSURE AND PASS IT TO THE STEAM TURBINES FOR THE PURPOSE OF PRODUCING
ELECTRICAL ENERGY BY EXPLOITING
THE EXHAUST HEAT WHICH HELPS REDUCE THERMAL EMISSIONS AND
IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT USING OF ADDITIONAL FUEL.
SINCE THE START OF ITS OPERATION AT THE BEGINNING OF 2017, BESMAYA
POWER STATION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO IMPROVING THE REALITY OF SUPPLYING THE CAPITAL
BAGHDAD,
AND THE GOVERNORATES WITH ELECTRIC ENERGY, ESPECIALLY DURING
TIMES OF HIGH DEMAND FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY, SUCH AS THE SUMMER SEASON. THE
PRODUCTION UNITS AT
THE POWER STATION HAVE PROVEN THEIR EFFICIENCY IN PROVIDING
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND READINESS FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN ALL SEASONS OF THE
YEAR.
BESMAYA POWER STATION FOLLOWS MODERN METHODS IN CARRYING OUT
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THE USE OF WELL-ESTABLISHED
