GE, Inogen to provide Turkish hybrid renewable plant

• Project consists of adding 30MW of solar capacity to an operational 32MW wind farm

GE as well as its regional partner Inogen have actually been picked by Sertavul to build among the initial hybrid wind-solar projects in Turkey.

The plant is composed of a 32MW wind farm commissioned in 2020 that will certainly be integrated with a 30MW solar plant.

Adding solar to the wind farm will enable a total higher capacity element as well as availability for the plant while delivering dispatchable renewable energy right into the grid, because the sun beams during the day and also the wind often blows highly at night.

GE renewable hybrids chief executive officer Prakash Chandra claimed: "This project is an additional stepping-stone for the growth of hybrid power plants in Turkey.

" The project will certainly help accelerate Turkey's energy shift by optimising limited framework and also boosting capacity aspect of an existing plant, enabling intelligent dispatch of power and also sustaining our consumer Sertavul to deliver more renewable resource."

Sertavul chairman Kemal Tas stated: "We are proud to have carried out the very first hybrid project in Turkey with the participation of Sertavul, GE as well as Inogen.

" In recent years, investments in renewable energy sources for clean power have actually raised worldwide.

" With this project, we intend to contribute to our nation by using renewable resource resources to enhance power efficiency as well as minimize air contamination.

" We plan to boost our power production with the assistance we receive from our partners."

Inogen Chief Executive Officer Ali Murat Soydan added: "We are extremely delighted to be a service partner in one of one of the most essential projects of our country and also the world under the leadership of GE.

" We believe that there is a fantastic hybrid potential in our nation.

" Right here, our crucial feature is our ability to execute projects extremely rapidly with local manufacturing.

" We are constructing and commissioning more than 4MW solar power plants per day under the GE framework. It is a fantastic economic benefit to our companions that we deal with in these projects."

Inogen will certainly perform site tasks as well as supply the sun radar that will certainly aid boost the total energy production of the power plant.

For the solar plant, GE will provide seven Flexinverter solar power conversion devices that combine a solar inverter, medium voltage power transformer, and an optional MV ring main device, all incorporated in a conventional 20-feet ISO high cube container.
