Future Proofing with Unique, Cleaner Energy Power Generation Solutions
Clarke Energy’s Australian operation recently completed the commissioning of two additional 3MW gas generators for energy giant Santos at their Wilga Park Power station expansion project near Narrabri, in northwest New South Wales.
This effectively future proofs the power station with a configuration of up to 12 INNIO Jenbacher 3MW gas engines installed across multiple stages. The two additional gas generators increases the capacity of the facility to 18MW , capable of powering around 23000 households from natural, coal seam methane gas from the nearby Bohena and Coonarah Santos gas fields.
Critically, generating this power from coal gas is far less environmentally harmful than mining and burning the coal for power generation. It also enables Santos to utilise their gas more beneficially for electricity generation, eliminating wasteful flaring and reducing emissions.
The expansion project unlocks the wealth of this clean energy resource to turbo-charge industries to provide more jobs, small business opportunities and community investment for the people of the Narrabri region.
Clarke Energy’s unique solution for the power station was to install 36MW of clean power generation in stages, 3MW units progressively at a time, as gas becomes available. It allows coal gas producers to begin generating with as little as 500 kilowatts and then grow their output to tens of megawatts as their gas comes online.
Clarke Energy’s in-house, pre-engineered solutions continue to deliver highly efficient Jenbacher gas engines and complete turnkey solutions to generate clean power for our many clients’ power stations, ranging from 10MW to 80MW.
