417-MW Andong combined cycle power plant in Korea finally done

24 months was all it took.

According to a release, The Andong combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in South Korea was erected in a record time of only 24 months.

This liquefied natural gas (LNG) fired plant has an electrical capacity of 417 megawatts (MW), making it the second Siemens operating H-class-based combined-cycle power plant in Asia with an efficiency level of more than 60 percent.

The owner and operator is Korea Southern Power Co. Ltd. (KOSPO), a leading power supply utility. KOSPO teamed up with Siemens and GS E&C in successfully accomplishing this record schedule based upon their common experience in power construction industry.

Designed for 250 starts per year, with a startup time of only 30 minutes from standstill to full load, the Andong CCPP is particularly flexible, allowing it to react optimally to the rapidly changing challenges posed by the Korean power market.

The Andong CCPP is located in the city of the same name in the province of Gyeongsangbuk-do. The plant is designed as a single-shaft power plant.

The SPPA-T3000 I&C system and other auxiliary systems are also part of the package. Furthermore, Siemens has signed a maintenance contract with a term of ten years for the main components.
