Key facts
Aluminium production is power intensive
so low-cost electricity is vital. The
load of an aluminium smelter changes
frequently: load swings occur due to
anode effects or trips of pot lines. The
power plant supplying the facility must
be able to maintain a stable industrial
grid frequency, independent of the
electrical grid.
The KA13E2 is well proven in this
industry. They are installed in six
dedicated plants powering aluminium
smelters, representing 14 GT13E2 units.
Our customers include major aluminium
producers such as ALBA, DUBAL, SOHAR
Aluminium and Rio Tinto Aluminium.
KA13E2: the ideal power
plant for the aluminium industry
The Alstom KA13E2 combined-cycle power plant represents an ideal power plant for the aluminium industry with

1997

Alstom plant has operated successfully
for over fteen years in steel plant
applications

There are now 21 similar applications
using Alstom LBtu-burner technology,
with more than 2 million red hours
Key facts
The increasing price of electricity is
leading to energy optimisation in steel
plants and the use of Blast Furnace Gas
(BFG) in gas turbines, which is more
efcient than in boilers. The KA11N2
LBtu has been specially adapted to burn
waste gases from steel making. These
gases can be used to generate power
and steam very efciently. As with all
Alstom gas turbines, the turbines that
power the KA11N2 offers consistent,
stable operation at low and part-load
conditions and reduces NO
x
and CO
emissions even at part load.
With Alstoms Plant Integrator approach,
each power plant is tailor-made to site
requirements and integrated into the
steel plant this provides maximum
value for the steel plant operator, in both
50 Hz and 60 Hz markets.

Key facts
An add-on is the conversion of a simple-cycle plant into a
combined-cycle plant. Doing this increases the power and
efciency of the plant, with no additional emissions and no
additional fuel consumption.
A so-called steam tail is integrated into an open cycle GT plant
using heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), steam turbines
and related generators. Thanks to its long-standing experience
as a manufacturer of customised steam turbines, Alstom offers
steam turbines that t optimally with the characteristics of
every gas turbine currently in operation.
We can also integrate any additionally-required equipment
(Balance of Plant), as well as supply add-on retrots of existing
simple-cycle power plants from 10 MW upwards.

Key facts
Repowering involves the installation of new gas turbines,
turbogenerators and Heat Recovery Steam Generators
(HRSGs). The original steam turbine, cooling system and
some additional plant equipment / infrastructure are retained.
There are two types of repowering

Hybrid repowering: The existing boiler remains in operation as
well as the new HRSG

Full repowering: The existing boiler is decommissioned or
removed to re-use the space
Alstom can repower existing steam power plants with turbines
above 50 MW (60 Hz) or 80 MW (50 Hz).
