Thermal Power
The mechanism of Thermal Power Plant is to generate the electricity by thermal energy in such a way that fossil fuels, oil/coal/natural gas and others, are burned in the furnace to boil the water and generate the steam, and this steam spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. Today, global warning became serious problem over the world, the global community is trying to reduce the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission. However many countries could not find alternative to thermal power since it is the most flexible electricity generation method to meet the demand. Therefore, we will continue to depend, if partly, on thermal power plants wherever in the world. Efforts are being made to increase the combustion efficiency (thermal efficiency) of thermal power to reduce emission and NEWJEC has the latest technology for this. For example, Combined Cycle (CC) Power Plant is a plant that makes use of both Gas Turbine Generator and Steam Turbine Generator. In a CC Power Plant, the heat in gas turbine's exhaust is used to produce steam by having the exhaust pass through a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), which is further directed to the steam turbine. Thus a CC Power Plant generates electricity by Gas Turbine Generator and Steam Turbine Generator and it achieves higher thermal efficiency. CC Power Plant produces more electric energy and less CO2 than conventional thermal power plant using the same quantity of fuel. NEWJEC has provided consulting services (Engineering Design/Construction Supervision) for the first CC Power Plant in Vietnam, Phu My Thermal Power Project (Phu My I CCPP (Combined Cycle Power Plant)) in 1996 to 2006. Phu My I CCPP was a state of the art natural gas and distilled oil fired combined cycle plant of 3 on 1 configuration, that is, three Gas Turbines combined with one HRSG, with the net output of 1,090 MW at the design condition, which was the largest of single power plants in Vietnam to date. |

| As a CC Power Plant has advantages of higher thermal efficiency and low CO2 emission, resulting in smaller environmental impact, over conventional thermal power plant, CC-type power plants have been widely applied for new thermal projects. Further, many of rehabilitation projects on the existing thermal power plants are taking CC technology as well. NEWJEC has a rich knowledge and experience on CC technologies to provide quality consulting service to many customers over the world. Recently, methodologies of development assistance to developing countries have been diversified and a Public and Private Partnership (PPP) is one of such cases. In there, power projects are initiated with Overseas Development Assistance (ODA), which paves the road to inclusion of private sectors who later invest in the implementation of projects. Phu My I Project was the case in point. NEWJEC served in Phu My I ODA Project, which built the platform of large scale expansion, and later Phu My II-2, Phu My II-3 and others came in to expand the power plant complex in the form of IPP. This case was a successful model of public-private partnership. |
