BPDB Sylhet Power Plant (GT 150 MW): The ST is not yet commissioned. The manufacturer of the GT is Ansaldo Energia and the EPC Contractor is Shanghai Electric Company (SEC). The ramp rate for each unit is 11MW/min for normal loading and 30MW/min for fast loading. The unit has the speed/load/temp control modes. The Plant engineer couldn’t confirm its readiness for operating in FGMO. They wrote to Ansaldo and SEC but no reply was received. The Plant engineers also mentioned that the ST of this plant will be installed and process of contract award was going on. The FGMO commissioning could be done during that time. 4. BPDB Fenchuganj Combined Cycle Power Plant: - Unit-1 (2 x GT 30 MW and ST 30 MW). Made by Hitachi, Japan. Ramp Rate – 5 MW/ Min, Droop setting - ±4%. The power plant was built in 1994 and the capacity of the plant to operate in FGMO should be further assessed. - Unit-2 (2 x GT 30 MW and ST 30 MW). Manf. of GT – General Electric, ST – Nanjing, China. Ramp Rate – 5 MW/ Min, Droop setting - ±4%. The capacity of the plant to operate in FGMO should be further assessed. 5. BPDB Shajibazar 330 MW Power Plant: The plant is comprised of 2 Gas Turbines each 110 MW and one ST with 11O MW. The plant is new and has FGMO capabilities. The warranty period is not yet over and this is the time that FGMO mode can be made functional by the Contractor. BPDB is to take necessary steps in this regard.
