Siemens has secured a contract to upgrade Hiep Phuoc 1 steam power plant to a combined cycle power plant, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The upgraded plant will use re-gasified liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead of oil. The waste heat released by the gas turbines will be used to generate steam that will be used to drive the existing steam turbines and generators for producing electricity. The upgrade will enhance the plant’s production capacity from 780MW to approximately 1,200MW.
The project, owned by Hiep Phuoc Power Company, can reduce carbon emissions by nearly 50% for each kilowatt-hour and supply about 520 MW to the grid by mid-2021, through open cycle operation to meet the electricity demand in Vietnam. The upgrade for the project is expected to be completed by the second half of 2022.
