Wood Group GTS has recently signed a four-year operations and maintenance (O&M) contract with Entegra Power Group and Sundevil Power Holdings to operate the Gila River Power Station, an independent power plant in the US. Located near Phoenix, the station has eight GE Frame 7FA gas turbines, eight heat recovery steam generators and is capable of producing 2,200 MW of electrical power.
The Gila River Power Station was an early adopter of Wood Group GTS' Ecomax system, an automated gas turbine tuning technology that enables the operator to optimize gas turbine combustor and overall turbine performance on a real-time basis.
