SANTIAGO, CHILE (12 de julio de 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) anunció hoy que ha conseguido un pedido con Transelec Holdings Rentas Ltd, proveedor líder de sistemas de alta tensión en Chile, para suministrar condensadores síncronos y subestaciones de alta tensión para los proyectos Ana María y Monte Mina en el norte de Chile. Estos dos proyectos formaban parte de una licitación para el "Control de Tensión por Aporte de Corriente de Cortocircuito", que integra el plan del Gobierno chileno para apoyar la transición energética y la descarbonización del país.

Un condensador síncrono es un gran generador rotativo que mejora la regulación de la tensión y proporciona seguridad energética, y apoyo y estabilización a la red. Dado que la generación de energía eólica y solar está aumentando en la zona norte de Chile, los condensadores síncronos serán fundamentales para permitir la incorporación de más energía renovable a la red, proporcionando inercia y ayudando a evitar el riesgo de apagones.

Con estos proyectos, el negocio Hydro Power de GE Vernova suministrará dos condensadores síncronos para el proyecto Ana María y otros dos para el proyecto Monte Mina. El alcance de los trabajos también incluye la ingeniería, los auxiliares eléctricos y mecánicos, el sistema de control, el sistema de protección, la supervisión de montaje en obra y la puesta en marcha. Adicionalmente, la división Grid Solutions de GE Vernova suministrará la subestación de alta tensión de 220 kV, que incluye ingeniería eléctrica, transformadores, GIS (Gas Insulated Substation), sistema de protección y control (solución digital), pruebas y puesta en marcha para conectar la isla de condensadores síncronos con los sistemas de transmisión. Se prevé que la operación comercial de la extensión del proyecto comience en 2027.

“GE Vernova se ha comprometido a ayudar a acelerar la transición energética en América Latina desde hace mucho tiempo y creemos que el condensador síncrono es una tecnología clave para ayudar con los desafíos de la red", dijo Frederic Ribieras, CEO de Hydro Power, GE Vernova.  “GE Vernova tiene una gran experiencia y base instalada para este condensador síncrono, que tiene similitudes con la ingeniería de un generador hidroeléctrico. Además, tenemos la capacidad de fabricación y el conocimiento para producirlo en nuestra fábrica de Taubaté, Brasil”.

En los últimos siete años, GE Vernova también ha suministrado siete condensadores síncronos en Brasil. Este pedido en Chile sigue a un proyecto similar que la empresa acaba de anunciar en Estados Unidos, donde se suministrarán cuatro condensadores síncronos para ayudar a mejorar la estabilidad de la red en el norte del estado de Nueva York.

"La cartera de alta tensión de GE Vernova y los sistemas flexibles de transmisión de corriente alterna son clave para aprovechar la transición energética, facilitando la expansión y modernización de la red", dijo Johan Bindele, jefe de Integración de Sistemas de Red en el negocio de Soluciones de Red de GE Vernova.  "Como un actor confiable con presencia en Chile de casi un siglo, GE Vernova es un actor activo en el plan de transición energética determinado para la región, con una amplia cartera de soluciones avanzadas”.

GE Vernova mantiene un alcance global y la escala necesaria para liderar la transición energética hacia un futuro electrificado y descarbonizado. En América Latina, con aproximadamente 6.600 empleados trabajando en toda la región, GE Vernova está al servicio de sus clientes proporcionando soluciones, como las suministradas a Transelec en Chile, para crear un sistema de energía eléctrica más fiable y sostenible, apuntalando el progreso y la prosperidad de las comunidades donde operamos.

In 2009, the United States Department of Energy was seeking a dose of radical thinking. Early that year, its newly created Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) issued an open call for “the most revolutionary energy technologies.” If ARPA-E officials were expecting a steady trickle of ideas from business, academia, and research laboratories, they were wrong. They’d just opened the floodgates.

Atlanta, Georgia: April 11, 2024 – GE Vernova’s Gas Power business (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has secured an order for its 7HA.03 combined-cycle plant equipment from Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company (LG&E and KU), regulated utilities that are part of the PPL family of companies (NYSE: PPL), to power a new natural gas combined-cycle generating unit (NGCC) at the utilities’ existing Mill Creek Generating Station in Louisville, Kentucky.

Last year, the Kentucky Public Service Commission approved LG&E and KU’s plans to retire two aging coal generation units and build a new NGCC at its Mill Creek Generating Station. The commission also approved solar energy projects, battery storage, and a suite of energy efficiency programs.

“We’re proud to serve the communities in which our employees live and work at the lowest reasonable cost, and the addition of a new NGCC at our Mill Creek Generating Station – which has provided ‘round the clock’ energy to our customers for decades – is an important part of how we’re continuing to plan for Kentucky’s energy future in a responsible, affordable and reliable way”, said Lonnie Bellar, senior vice president, Engineering and Construction. “We’re also proud to partner with GE Vernova on bringing to life what will be the most advanced NGCC generating unit in our fleet”.

MC5 is expected to have an output of approximately 645-megawatts (MW) and will feature the most advanced GE Vernova 7HA.03 gas turbine, which will be fueled initially by natural gas, with the ability to utilize up to 50 percent hydrogen (by volume) as hydrogen becomes more available in the future.

GE Vernova will also provide a STF-D650 steam turbine along with a W86 generator, a Vogt Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) and its integrated Mark* VIe control system for gas turbine performance management. NGCCs, like MC5, have the lowest carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other emissions of all fossil-fuel powered generation.

“GE Vernova’s advanced HA gas turbines produce less than one-third of the carbon emissions of a similar coal-fired generating station, so constructing a NGCC works in harmony with LG&E and KU’s future carbon reduction plans by incorporating the potential of hydrogen-based fuels and carbon-capture technologies”, said Dave Ross, President of GE Vernova’s Gas Power in the Americas region. “We are honored to support LG&E and KU in this project, not only through bringing our advanced HA power generation equipment, but also by working to ensure its best operation through the deployment of controls software and remote monitoring abilities well into the future”.

The performance of the new 7HA.03 gas turbine includes a highly flexible ramp rate of 75MW/min as validated at GE Vernova’s Test Stand 7 in Greenville, South Carolina.

GE Vernova will also provide services to help increase operational efficiency, expected to generate key savings in maintenance costs due to less unplanned maintenance for the combustion turbines. Data collected from sensors throughout the facility will be monitored and analyzed 24/7 at GE Vernova’s Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Center in Atlanta.

The plant will be built by TIC—The Industrial Company, a subsidiary of Kiewit, one of North America’s largest engineering and construction companies.
