Technology

The project will utilize Natural Gas as main fuel and Arabian Super Light (ASL) as backup fuel and with the application of Combined Cycle Power Station in a configuration of three blocks, each composed of two Gas Turbines of enhanced efficiency, two Heat Recovery Steam Generators and one triple pressure Steam Turbine which will substantially reduce the fuel consumption, the impact on sea water temperatures and carbon emissions to the environment. R2IPP comprises 4[1] identical power blocks, each delivering a net output of 686.5 MW. For each of these units, Siemens is delivering two model SGT6-5000F gas turbines, one model SST6-5000 HI-L steam turbine, and three SGen6-1000A-series electrical generators. It will be the first IPP with a gross thermal efficiency of 58.8% at reference site conditions.
