New Talkha Power Station 750 MW Combined Cycle
		

				

				

				

							
Project Overview:
Situated within the Talkha Power Generation Compound, on the western bank of the Nile River’s Damietta Branch, the New Talkha 750 MW Combined Cycle Project represents a significant addition to Egypt’s power infrastructure.
The plant’s design features a power block comprising two 250 MW combustion turbine generators. Each of these generators channels exhaust gases to its own heat recovery steam generator. The combined output of these steam generators then drives a single 250 MW condensing steam turbine generator. This configuration enables the facility to achieve a net output of 750 MW. 
To facilitate its operation, the power plant draws its cooling water from the Damietta Branch of the Nile River. By employing a combined cycle process, which utilizes both gas and steam turbines, the plant maximizes energy efficiency, contributing to a more reliable power supply for the region.
						

				

					

		

					

		

				

						

					

			

						

				

					

			

		

				

				

				

				

							
Key Components:
The New Talkha Power Station project includes the following key components:
  • Combustion Turbine Generators (CTGs): Generating electricity using gas turbines.
  • Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs): Utilizing exhaust heat from the CTGs to produce steam.
  • Steam Turbine Generator (STG): Generating additional electricity using the steam produced by the HRSGs.
  • Cooling System: A system for dissipating heat, essential for the plant’s operation.
  • Electrical Systems: Equipment for power transmission and distribution.
  • Control Systems: Systems for monitoring and controlling the power generation process.
						

				

					

		

				

			

							

		

					

		

				

						

					

			

						

				

					

			

		

				

				

				

				

										

																					

										

							

				

				

				

										

																					

										

							

				

					

		

				

			

						

				

					

			

		

				

				

				

				

							
ECPC’s Scope of Work:


ECPC played a vital role in developing the cooling infrastructure for the Talkha Power Plant. ECPC supplied approximately 2,053 meters of Reinforced Concrete Cylinder Pipes (RCCP) and specialized fittings for the plant’s circulating water piping system. This included large-diameter pipes, measuring 2,500mm, comprising a total of 434 pipes and 102 special fittings.


These RCCP pipes and fittings were essential for the plant’s direct (once-through) cooling system, which draws non-contact cooling water from the Damietta Branch of the Nile River. ECPC’s contribution facilitated the abstraction of this water through an intake pipeline buried beneath the bankline, as well as the subsequent return of heated cooling water to the Nile via a discharge pipeline.
