Siemens Energy to upgrade and expand services at Jebel Ali L2 power and water station in Dubai – MEP MiddleEast

A new package of enhanced energy services from Siemens Energy will supply Dubai Electricity and Water Authority's (DEWA) Jebel Ali L2 power and water station with the latest advancements in power plant service, maintenance, and controls.

Under terms of the new long-term service agreement, Siemens Energy will supply an intelligent controller for each of the four SGT5-4000F gas turbines, the latest SPPA-T3000 control system, services for generators, as well as added upgrades for outage reduction and operational flexibility.

The intelligent controller was co-developed by DEWA and Siemens Energy in 2019 and was the world's first thermodynamic Digital Twin Gas Turbine (GT) Intelligent Controller. The controller uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to systematically give power plant operators a complete and continuous overview and scenario-based assessment of power plant operations.

Developed and manufactured by Siemens Energy, the upgraded SPPA-T3000 control system features online patch update capabilities which enables continuous, safe plant operations during the update as it doesn't require system shutdown.
