  2. What is the CCGT? A combined cycle gas turbine power plant, frequently identified by CCGT shortcut, is essentially an electrical power plant in which a gas turbine and a steam turbine are used in combination to achieve greater efficiency than would be possible independently. The gas turbine drives an electrical generator. The gas turbine exhaust is then used to produce steam in a heat exchanger (steam generator) to supply a steam turbine whose output provides the means to generate more electricity. However the Steam Turbine is not necessarily, in that case the plant produce electricity and industrial steam which can be used for heating or industrial purpose.

  3. Basic Gas Turbine Information • Main Gas Turbine Manufactures: • General Electrics, Simens Westinghouse & Alstom • Approximately Cost per MW – 0.7mln E • Efficiency approx 40% for gas turbine however in the CCGT plant the efficiency is 50-60% (even higher for cogenerated plant) • Low Green Gas Emission C02, NOx & SOx • Chepear comparing to other technology e.g. CCS • Lifetime 30-40 years

  7. Eirgrid Grid Code • Grid Code contains general conditions and rules for general application. • The specification and conditions for each application are adjust individually. • Those information are included in Grid Connection Offer & Agreement • between developer and Transmission Operator TSO. • Client (Requires connection) and TSO must implement Grid Code specification • during each stages of the project, for project above 10MW • TSO may disconnected or terminated the Grid Connection Agreement • if the Grid Code is not implemented by client. • The Implementation of the Grid Code may have significant impact on the cost of the Grid Connection • ESB Networks Electrical Safety Rules must be implemented

  8. EirGrid Constraints • Capacity of the transmission lines • Small Infrastructures of the High Voltage Lines • Distance from Energy Load Centres (West Coast) • High Cost of Design and planning permission for Shallow Connection, significantly for OHL 220kV • Planning Restrictions regarding OHL Construction
