Cabo Verde
The requalification of the Palmeira Power Plant in Sal Island, Cabo Verde, represented one of the most critical settings of the program for the recovery of generation and distribution assets in Cabo Verde.
This facility had critical operational problems, namely the inoperability of the generators sets above 1200 kW and only at baseload, as well as the waste of about 600 liters per day of “clean” Heavy Fuel Oil due to non-utilization of unburned fuel.
WinPower scope of works included the design, supply, and install the Fuel-Waste Recovery System, including new electromechanical systems and SCADA upgrade for increase power generation and efficiency.
