Cairo North I Combined Cycle Project (750

MW)
The facility is designed to include a power block
consisting of two 250 MW (nominal, ISO) combustion
turbine generators (CTGs), each feeding exhaust gases
to its respective heat recovery steam generator
(HRSG).

Steam from the two HRSGs is fed to one 250 MW

(nominal), reheater, condensing steam turbine
generator (STG). The facility's net output is 750 MW
(nominal, ISO).

This output is achieved by burning natural gas in the combustion turbines with no
supplementary firing in the HRSGs. Nitrogen oxides emitted are controlled by dry low nitrogen
oxides combustors.

An inlet air filtration system is included to supply suitable filtered combustion air to the
CTGs.The steam exhausted through the steam turbine is dumped into a once - through
cooling , single – pass, divided water – box condenser. Power is generated at 21 KV in the
CTGs and the STG, stepped - up through main transformers, and fed to the Utility grid via a
220 KV, gas insulated switchgear (GIS) Switchyard . The power plant cooling water is
withdrawn from El Ismailia Canal.
