Symphony Plus, ABB’s total plant automation platform for the power generation and water industries, has been selected for the latest expansion to one of Jordan’s largest and most strategically important power plants.
ABB has won an order from Metka, its strategic alliance partner and a leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, to supply a SymphonyTM Plus total plant automation solution for the phase 4 expansion of the Samra thermal power plant in Jordan.
Owned and operated by Samra Electric Power Generating Co, the plant currently has a generating capacity of 885 megawatts (MW) and produces around 25 percent of the total power consumed in Jordan. The new phase 4 expansion will generate 146 MW of electric power for the national high voltage transmission grid. The plant is located in the city of Zarqa, Jordan’s third largest city and the country’s leading industrial center.
ABB will provide a Symphony Plus distributed control system based on its new S+ Control HPC800 process controller, which helps reduce system installation and maintenance costs and is the latest addition to ABB’s range of high-performance process controllers for the Symphony family. ABB’s ability to provide fast-track delivery of a state-of-the-art control system will enable the end customer to meet a critical production deadline.
ABB is also responsible for design, engineering, installation and commissioning, and will deliver the solution on a fast-track basis. This will enable the plant to start production by mid-2013 in time for the hot summer months when demand for electricity and electrically powered air conditioning is at a peak.
