HERON 2
HERON II is a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCCT) power plant, which is established next to the OCGT HERON I, 4 km south of the city of Thiva, in the region of Veotia, upon the old Thiva – Elefsina National Road, in an agricultural-industrial area with an average altitude of 295m.
The selected site neighbors with the natural gas transmission system as well as the High Voltage electric transmission system of 150 and 400KV, respectively.
The main electromechanical equipment of the CCGT HERON II, comes from the STAG 109 FB Combined Cycle Unit by General Electric and consists of a PG9371FB type gas turbine with a nominal capacity of 290MWe, a three-level pressure waste heat recovery boiler, a HEATTM A15 type steam turbine with a capacity of 145MWe and a 450H common generator, with a nominal capacity of 533.4MVA, nominal voltage of 19kV three-phase 50Hz, on a joint axis.
The station is using state-of-the-art technology in the electricity production sector. Its efficiency rate, compared with the average performance of gas-fired power plants in operation within the Greek system, results to top-ranking classification of the selected technology. The unit’s high efficiency also results to reduced fuel consumption, and thus low gas emissions (CO2), a fact that renders HERON II as the most environmentally friendly conventional power plant, right after the Renewable Energy Sources.
The construction of the station commenced in 2007 and was successfully completed in 2010.
