Company Information
Graz/Vienna, August 5, 2016. ANDRITZ HYDRO GmbH, a member of international
technology group ANDRITZ, has been contracted by the Spanish energy utility
IBERDROLA GENERACIÓN to supply the electro-mechanical equipment and the
penstock for the new pumped storage hydropower plant Gouvães in Portugal. The
total contract value for ANDRITZ amounts to about 140 million euros.
The scope of delivery comprises design, manufacturing, supply, and installation
supervision for the complete electro- and hydro-mechanical equipment, including
reversible pump turbines, motor generators, and electrical power systems, as
well as design, manufacturing, supply, and complete installation of a penstock
(including three bifurcators) with a total weight of about 12,000 tons, an
average diameter of about 5,400 mm and a length of 2.5 km.
With four pump turbines with a capacity of 220 MW each, Gouvães will be the
heart of a new hydroelectric generation and storage scheme, which finally will
consist of three power stations and total power production of almost 1,200 MW.
It will be built on the Támega River in Northern Portugal, close to the city of
Porto. Gouvães will cover the need for peak-load energy and provide
fast-responding regulating power. Together with the base load generation from
the other two power stations of smaller size, this scheme will ideally
complement the volatile electricity generation from wind power, which has been
growing significantly in recent years. Additionally, the project will have a
very positive impact on the employment situation in the region.
To provide a safe basis for the design of the technically outstanding high-head
pump turbines with a net head of about 660 m, extensive research and model
testing activities have been performed in ANDRITZ HYDRO's own test laboratory
in order to make sure that the requirements of IBERDROLA GENERACIÓN regarding
feasibility and reliability will be met in an optimum way.
This is the third large contract between IBERDROLA GENERACIÓN and ANDRITZ HYDRO
on the Iberian Peninsula, after having received the contracts for the equipment
deliveries for the San Pedro II hydropower plant in 2011 and for modernization
of the Aldeadávila hydropower plant in 2014.
