Projects of the year
The 2005 Projects-of-the-Year award winners were recognized at Power-Gen International in Las Vegas in early December. EPCOR and TransAlta's Genessee 3, an advanced coal-fired facility near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, won the Best Coal-fired Project-of-the-year Award. This features the first use of supercritical technology in Canada. It has a 43.6% efficiency rating and greenhouse gas emissions as low as those from a natural gas combined-cycle plant. The best gas-fired project award went to We Energies 500 MW Port Washington Generating Station (PWGS). Features of the plant are described in the article. FPL won the nuclear project award for replacing reactor vessel heads on its Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 with new components to eliminate repairs. The world's largest photovoltaic project, Bavaria Solarpark, won the renewables project award. The East Kentucy Power Cooperative received an honorable mention for the E.A. Gilbert Unit 3 power plant in Kentucky. This is a 268 MW coal-fired circulating fluidized bed boiler located on the same site as the Spurlock Power Station. 1 tab., 6 photos.
