Supporting The Grid 2 x 10 MW Base
Load Station
The challenge to the customer
Two locations on the Island of
Rhodes Greece needed additional power to support the influx of
tourists. During the busy season, power demand at this popular
Mediterranean resort area surpassed the local grid capacity.
Aggreko's solution
Aggreko supplied 2 x 10 MW of power
to support the grid during the three months. Both plants comprised
generator along with step up transformers and associated HV
switchgear. The plants operated in parallel with the grid and all
generator sets operated in base load. The generators were fitted
with electronic controllers and synchronizing units. Synchronizing
was achieved both manually and fully automatically using Aggreko AT
remote control panels.
The benefits to the customer
Aggreko’s temporary power station
created and maintained additional power for the island in a cost
effective manner. The customer chose Aggreko's services due to the
flexibility and commercial suitability of our offer.
