Ansaldo Energia has been awarded a 10-year structured service agreement by Taweelah Asia Power Company (TAPCO) for its Taweelah New B Extension (TNBE) combined cycle power plant in Abu Dhabi. Ansaldo Energia said that the full-scope, turnkey service agreement with the independent water and power producer covers three dual fuel Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbines and SGEN5-1000A air-cooled generators, coupled with a Siemens SST5-6000 steam turbine and SGEN5-2000H hydrogen-cooled generator, including all related auxiliaries.

TNBE generates 947MW and 68.4 million imperial gallons per day of water using multi-stage flash desalination units, and is located 80km from Abu Dhabi in Al Rahba City. TNBE is part of the larger Taweelah B Power and Water generation project, and is majority owned by UAE-based Abu Dhabi Power Corporation and TAQA.

Ansaldo Energia said: “Coverage consists of all scheduled and unscheduled power generation and related auxiliary equipment maintenance, a parts supply programme including upgrades, repair, and refurbishment of parts, and remote monitoring and diagnostics including Ansaldo’s APEX digital predictive maintenance tools. Additionally, in order to facilitate timely outage activities, a gas turbine rotor exchange programme has been established.”
