GE의 진보된 자동화 기술 덕분에 Kipa? Holding가 소유한 터키의 세 지열발전 플랜트가 눈에 띄게 물 재사용을 절감하고, CO2 배출을 낮췄으며, 부식을 줄였다. 또한 이 공장들은 현재 데이터를 분석하기 위한 산업인터넷을 사용하고 있다.

Kipa? Holding의 최근 Maren Enerji 플랜트 확장은 총 68MW의 전기를 함께 생산해내고 있다. 이 회사는 또한 24MW를 생산하는 새 플랜트를 건설하고 있다.

 

 

 

With help from advanced automated technology from GE (NYSE: GE), three geothermal power plants in Turkey, owned by Kipa? Holding, have significantly reduced water usage, lowered CO2 emissions, decreased corrosion, and are now using the Industrial Internet to analyze data. Kipa? Holding's recent expansion of the existing Maren Enerji plants together produces a total of 68 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The company is also constructing one new plant, which will produce 24 MW.

 

Harnessing the power of the Industrial Internet, the Maren Enerji geothermal plants, located in Aydin, Turkey, are using GE's InSight* Knowledge Management Solution, a remote monitoring and diagnostic platform, to monitor the performance of the water treatment systems at the power plants. GE's InSight, a web-based platform, helps maximize the plant's reliability through real-time visualization and diagnostics related to keeping the water systems' performance and contributing parameters on track.

 

 GE also provided an automatic chemical solution preparation unit to remove the chance of human error in preparing the solution manually. In geothermal power plants, chemical dosing needs to be precise, and GE's solution ensures accuracy. It also provided an environmentally friendly solution to reduce water consumption in an area that is experiencing a shortage of agricultural-quality water.

 

The geothermal power plants have one of the world's longest underground piping networks to deliver chemicals to the geothermal wells. Due to GE's automatic chemical ?solution preparation unit and the underground delivery system, Maren Enerji has ceased truck deliveries within agricultural zones, which improved air quality by eliminating dust and lowering CO2 emissions due to less traffic from delivery trucks.

 

For Maren Enerji's savings, GE honored the company with its Return on Environment (ROE) award, which recognizes customers for significantly surpassing and improving environmental and industrial operational goals and balancing industrial demands. During the ROE three-tier selection process, GE examined set goals as well as the achieved environmental, operational and financial benefits. The ROE is a prestigious award given to honor a significant environmental (water, energy, resource) component.

 

 "As government support for renewable sources of energy increases in Turkey, we have seen a rise in geothermal power projects," said Ralph Hadley, regional executive, Europe and Russia -- water and process technologies for GE Power & Water. "Today, geothermal is used for more than just central heating and is recognized as a viable form of power generation."
