4 The Alstom From the Clean Power Today! As one of the most reliable of the renewable energy resources, geothermal power plays a key role in Alstom s clean power offering. Irrespective of weather conditions, a geothermal plant will provide a steady output and respond easily to changes in demand. Alstom pioneered the commercial exploitation of geothermal power in New Zealand in the 1950s. Today, we offer geothermal solutions worldwide, based on our global footprint and technological lead. Plant Integrator Improving the efficiency of a power plant depends on fine tuning complex interactions between diverse sub-systems. Building on decades of turnkey solutions expertise, Alstom is able to reframe any specific question in terms of the impact on the overall availability and flexibility of the plant. We call it the Plant Integrator TM approach: it helps operators to maximise their total plant performance while fully complying with environmental, regulatory and commercial constraints. LifeCycle Management When considering the environmental balance of a given fuel type or technology, one has to take into account the full lifecycle. This means assessing the entire process from procurement and construction to operation and maintenance. Alstom s support and commitment throughout the component or plant lifecycle allows owners to maximise their return on investment while minimising negative environmental side effects. 04

8 Tough technology Protecting performance Proven and validated technology The geothermal products and services offered by Alstom incorporate the latest know-how and technology focussed on the particular challenges of the geothermal industry. Alstom turbines offer the ideal combination of performance and durability. In geothermal, we use robust direct drive turbines to cope with the demands of wet steam with dissolved impurities. By working with optimised blade forms, fewer stages and broader clearances, our turbines cope reliably with even the most challenging steam compositions. Flexible configurations: Alstom can provide tailored plant configurations for both 60 and 50Hz electricity markets, starting with its smallest plant layout of approximately MW in size. In the medium size range of MW, we can provide a modular plant based around our well-proven single-flow turbine module. For larger steam fields with proven steam resources, we offer plant sizes in the MW range based around a double-flow turbine configuration, which offers both excellent performance and economies of scale. Alstom plant designs take into account the chance of seismic activity in geothermal locations. We also offer top or lateral exhaust configurations to simplify the positioning of the condenser in relation to the turbine and allow for safety-compliant and cost-effective plant layouts. Selected Design Features The plant layout and component design protect auxiliary and electrical systems from corrosion that could occur during steam venting. To reduce erosion of the moving blades, efficient Alstom water traps drain excessive steam condensate between each turbine stage. Instant closure of the inlet valves is critical to the safety of a geothermal plant. Alstom valves are specially designed to prevent blocking through fouling or scaling. Labyrinth seals are used for the main shaft, these being simple, robust and easily maintained. Triple control security prevents backflow from the condenser to the turbine. The design of Alstom s steam strainer reduces particle ingressions with a minimum pressure drop. Hybrid ejector and vacuum pump systems extract noncondensable gases from the condenser to maintain condenser efficiency. The Alstom distributed control system (DCS) minimises false alarms and maximises plant protection. Materials Alstom geothermal steam turbines are built with special steel alloys and are heat-treated to protect against the corrosive effects of dissolved gases, impurities and water droplets. Induction hardening or stellite shielding can be employed to extend the lifetime of the last-stage blades where lower temperatures increase the risk of water droplet erosion. 08

9 by robust and proven designs EPC and service offerings Our flexible plant offering can be fully adapted to your needs. Because there is no reliability without assured steam quality, Alstom insists on a minimum scope of the steam enhancement and power island systems. However, by ordering a complete turnkey power plant, Alstom can take care of every aspect of design, engineering, procurement and construction. Owners, especially independent power producers, can also benefit from the addition of an Alstom extended service contract to cover the day-to-day running and maintenance of the plant.
