LNG-fired engine power plant commissioned in Gibraltar
MAN Energy Solutions has commissioned a new power plant based on three gas engines and three dual-fuel engines, each with an approximate output of 14 MW, in Gibraltar.
The power plant on the North Mole in Gibraltar Harbour will form a key component of the British overseas territory's future power supply. Some of the waste heat from the engines will be used for regasifying liquified natural gas (LNG) in the connected terminal, increasing the plant’s overall efficiency.
With an output of 86 MW, the overall capacity of the new power plant significantly exceeds Gibraltar's current peak electricity demand by about 42 MW, thus future-proofing the plant against increasing demand, according to MAN.
‘The modular design of the plant means that there are no disadvantageous costs in daily operation,’ said Dr Tilman Tütken, European Head of Sales in the Power Plants department at MAN Energy Solutions: ‘Each engine can be switched on individually. Therefore, the energy output can flexibly be adapted to the demand.’
