Cabo Verde
EPC Contract Thermal Power Plant
Part of Cabo Verde’s ongoing investment plans to enhance energy generating capacity, reliability, and efficiency is the ORET project. Santo Antão Island relied on old diesel generators for electricity supply, which resulted not only in high operation costs and emissions but also in non-reliable energy supply for its people, industries, and tourism.
WinPower designed and built a new Power Plant with 2x 1,6 MW Gensets, operating at diesel with highly efficient MAN Engines and recovery boilers, and prepared for an extension of 2x more Gensets.
It was equipped with a Siemens SCADA System and remote access for 24/7 technical advisory support, complete with a 20 kV substation with earthing reactance and shunt reactors for power factor compensation.
The control system was prepared for load demand / baseload and load sharing, operating as base Power Plant to the island. This ensured three essential facts:
Our O&M services, including remote technical advisory and major overhauls (with service engineers and spare parts supply), are a long-term commitment to our client needs and requirements.
