石油设备网讯 据路透社3月25日伦敦报道，这家德国公用事业公司周一表示，Uniper位于伦敦的两机组恩菲尔德(Enfield)天然气工厂将于2020年进行升级改造，每台发电能力将达到55兆瓦，效率将超过60%(热值更高)。
这家2002年投产的工厂拥有一台280兆瓦GT 26机组和一台150兆瓦汽轮机，由阿尔斯通安装。通用电气于2015年收购了阿尔斯通(Alstom)的电力和电网业务。该公司已与Uniper签订合同进行升级，Enfield是第一个安装通用新型GT26 HE燃气轮机的工厂。
通用电气表示，这些将使Enfield能够“持续提升其在英国电力市场调度曲线上的地位”，并提高运营时间。
供应商表示，升级将使基荷电厂的效率提高2个百分点，达到60%以上。冷却需求将下降15%，从而降低相对二氧化碳排放量。
Uniper是英国第五大发电商，拥有7座发电站，总发电量超过600万千瓦，并拥有霍福德天然气储存站。
2016年12月，Uniper选择通用电气为其恩菲尔德(Enfield)和Grain(1200兆瓦)联合循环燃气电厂提供“未来证明”升级，将维护周期延长至多33%。

UK Enfield gas plant upgrade set for 2020
Uniper's 408 MW, two-unit Enfield gas plant in London is to be upgraded in 2020, adding up to 55 MW per unit and taking efficiency over 60% (higher heating value), the German utility said Monday.
The 2002-commissioned plant has one 280 MW GT 26 unit and one 150 MW steam turbine installed by Alstom. GE, which acquired Alstom's power and grid business in 2015, has been contracted by Uniper to carry out the upgrade, with Enfield the first site to install GE's new GT26 HE gas turbine.
The benefits would enable Enfield "to consistently elevate its position on the dispatch curve" in the UK power market and ramp up operating hours, GE said.
The upgrade would increase baseload plant efficiency by two percentage points to 60%-plus, the vendor said.Cooling needs would fall by 15%, lowering relative emissions of CO2.
Uniper is the UK's fifth-largest generator with seven power stations totalling over 6 GW as well as the Holford gas storage site.
In December 2016 Uniper selected GE to provide upgrades to "future proof" its Enfield and Grain (1,200 MW) combined cycle gas plants, extending maintenance periods by up to 33%.
