Triton Power
Triton Power is a private independent power generating company with a capacity of 1.35GW. They provide power to the UK wholesale electricity market through our UK power stations, playing an important role in security of supply when renewable generation does not deliver. Their combined output is sufficient to provide electricity for up to half a million homes in the UK.
Saltend Power Station has six MCWPs, each driven by a Siemens 1RQ3 motor rated at 1465kW, 6.6kV, 14-pole, vertically mounted, built in the Berlin Dynamowerk in 1998. A replacement was needed to guarantee reliability. Over the next three years, another two replacement will be required. Each of these motor are cricital for the everyday operation of the station and any failure of these motors will cause substancial reduction in revenue for them.
Siemens have stopped manufacturing the 1RQ motors. However to support the customer and with Siemens portfolio we were able to deliver a direct one-to-one replacement from Drasov ulitising the HVM motor from Drasov.
Benefits of the replacement HVM motor from Drasov, they now have:
one-to-one replacement for obsolete equipment
increased reliability
increase availability
more modern day efficient motor
available spare parts
