Pratt & Whitney Power Systems announced today at the POWER-GEN
Europe exhibition that Iberia Maintenance, the Maintenance and
Engineering division of Iberia Airlines, has been selected to provide
depot support services for the fleet of GG8 gas generators in the
European region. The facility, located in Madrid, Spain, joins a network
of worldwide depot facilities for P&W Power Systems.
The Maintenance & Engineering division of Iberia Airlines is well
known for its experience as a world-class aircraft engine repair
facility, specializing in the repair of several types of engines,
including Pratt & Whitney’s successful JT8 engine from which the GG8
was derived. Iberia was selected with the European customer in mind,
based on its ideal location for the European customer base, and its
extensive in-house component repair and technical capabilities.
Under the terms of the license agreement, Iberia will deal directly with
Pratt & Whitney Power Systems’ customers for depot services.
Customers will interact directly with Iberia for everything from
planning shop visits, logistics, and work scope, to reports and
invoicing. PWPS will support Iberia with certain component repairs, all
spare parts, technical publications, and engineering services. The
Iberia facility is expected to begin servicing GG8 gas generators before
the end of the year.

Pratt & Whitney Power Systems to Deliver Biomass Heat Recovery Power Plant for West Fraser Timber Company
Pratt & Whitney Power Systems has been awarded a contract to deliver a 13 MW biomass heat recovery power plant for West Fraser Timber Company in British Columbia, Canada. The state-of-the-art power plant will provide clean, carbon-neutral power to the company’s Chetwynd Forest Industries plant utilizing two Turboden 65 HRS Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbogenerators. Turboden is a Pratt & Whitney Power Systems company.
West Fraser is a leading wood products company with operations in western Canada and the southern United States, producing softwood lumber, MDF, plywood, pulp, newsprint, laminated veneer lumber and wood chips. The installation of the ORC unit at West Fraser’s Chetwynd facility is a part of efforts to improve operational efficiency.

British Sky Broadcasting, Heathrow Airport Embrace Renewable Energy
Turboden recently entered the UK market with awards for two biomass-fueled Combined Cooling, Heat and Power plants for two of the country’s most well known institutions - British Sky Broadcasting and Heathrow Airport. Both will receive clean, carbon-neutral power by utilizing Turboden Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbogenerators. Turboden is a Pratt & Whitney Power Systems company.
British Sky Broadcasting Ltd (BSkyB) is a public satellite broadcasting company operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is the largest pay-TV broadcaster in the United Kingdom with over 10 million subscribers. BSkyB is developing a 1 MW CCHP plant as an integral part of its carbon cutting emissions plans for its new studio, editing and transmission and data facility.
BAA Airports Limited, which operates six airports in the UK, including London Heathrow, is installing Turboden’s second ORC plant in the UK. London Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world, serving some 180 destinations in more than 90 countries. Turboden’s biomass-fuelled CCHP ORC unit at London Heathrow will use clean wood waste to produce 1.8 MW of electricity and 8MW of thermal heat and cooling to Terminals T2a and T2b, and heat only to Terminal T5. Construction of the Heathrow plant is almost complete and start-up is expected by summer.

FT4000 SWIFTPAC Featured in Cogeneration & On-Site Power Production
Cogeneration & On-Site Power Production reports on the FT4000 in an article published this week.
The FT4000 is based on the flight-proven PW4000 class turbofan engine, which has 26 million hours on more than 850 engines for the Airbus A330 and Boeing 777. Designed for simple cycle, combined cycle or cogeneration and available in 60 and 120 MW power blocks, the FT4000 SWIFTPAC will provide the highest power output of any aeroderivative gas turbine generator package available in the market.
The FT4000 is now in full scale development. Pratt & Whitney Power Systems expects a prototype to be available in 2013, with full-scale production under way in 2014.
