The Gladstone LNG Plant facility consists of 2-LNG trains with a combined capacity of approximately 7.8MTPA, with associated utilities and support facilities.
The power demand for the facility is met by on-site power generation consisting of Gas Turbines and diesel generators. The power distribution network consists of High (6.6kV and
11kV) and Low voltage (400V) systems including state-of-art Power Management System (PMS) distributed across site.
The PMS is designed to supervise, control and manage generation and demand based on process conditions and incorporate such facilities as circuit breaker control, generator synchronisation, load sharing and load shedding. The project incorporates extensive modularisation to reduce site effort. All switch rooms/ substations were fully modularised, equipment installed inside and wired, and factory tested before despatch to site for field activities. The facility is in advanced stage of construction and is scheduled for start-up and commissioning later this year.
