| The Genesee Power Station, located within the Dort-Carpenter
Industrial Center near Flint Michigan is a 35 MW wood waste fueled power
plant. Wood waste consists of wood chips from forest improvement programs,
construction, demolition and sawdust from local lumber mills. The Project
is expected to utilize approximately 165,000 bone dry tons of wood waste
per year.
The plant will generate steam with a single conventional ABB Combustion Engineering VU-40 traveling grate boiler. Particulates are removed from the flue gas stream by a multicyclone and an electrostatic precipitator. Steam is converted into electricity by an ABB single-flow condensing turbine coupled to an ABB synchronous generator. Electricity is converted at the site from 13.8 kV generation voltage to 46 kV for sale to Consumers Energy. The Plant is dispatchable between 19,250 kW and 35,000 kW and is expected to produce approximately 183,960 megawatt-hours of electricity annually. The Plant has available approximately 269,808 megawatt-hours annually. |
