Stellar to Supply Turbine Inlet Air Conditioning System for Pueblo Airport Generating Station
Project includes design, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning support for a TIAC system
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Stellar Energy, a provider of turbine inlet air chilling (TIAC), will supply a turbine inlet air conditioning system for Colorado electric utility Black Hills Energy’s Pueblo Airport Generating Station in Pueblo, Colorado.
The project includes design, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning support for a TIAC system for the plant's GE LM6000 aeroderivative turbine. The TIAC enhancement will deliver an approximately 20 percent increase in power output for the plant during the heat of summer, when electricity usage is generally the highest. The project also involves the supply of a natural gas-fired heater system that will be used for turbine anti-icing operation during cold temperatures.
