Jebel Ali L1 — TIAC for DEWA.
Turbine inlet air cooling for Dubai's power generation.
TESTIAC for Dubai's power generation
At Station L of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), within the Jebel Ali complex, APINA deployed a TESTIAC system that combines thermal energy storage with turbine inlet air cooling.
Applied to GE-Frame 9 FA turbines in dry-desert conditions and with air condensation, it recovers the power lost during the hours of highest temperature and demand.
Project highlights
First of its kind
The world's first installation to combine thermal storage with intake-air cooling on Frame 9F turbines.
−44,000 t CO₂ per year
Reduces natural-gas consumption and avoids more than 44,000 tonnes of CO₂ a year.
Peak power
Maximises power generation precisely when heat reduces turbine performance.
