Los Mina power plant conversion, Dominican Republic
Name and Location
Los Mina power plant conversion, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Client
AES Dominican Power Partners (DPP).
Project Description
The conversion project involves the addition of two heat recovery steam generators and a 114 MW steam turbine generator to the existing two 105 MW simple-cycle natural gas-fired turbines, increasing the plant’s capacity from 210 MW to 324 MW, without using additional gas.
The project will include the modification of the two existing Siemens simple-cycle combustion turbine generators into a combined-cycle plant.
One condenser, one generator step-up transformer, one unit auxiliary transformer, one steam turbine generator circuit breaker, a cooling tower and the necessary associated equipment will also be installed.
The 2 × 2 × 1 configuration will require the installation of bypass stacks, which will only be operated as an emergency/backup option, should the plant be in open-cycle mode operation. The new stacks will be 45 m to 54 m high.
Value
The project is estimated at $260-million.
