Algeria: ABB wins Ain Djasser III contract

Switzerland’s ABB has won a contract from Italy’s Ansaldo Energia to supply a plant automation system at the 340MW open cycle gas turbine power plant Ain Djasser III. The plant will be owned and operated by state power utility Sociéte Algérienne de Production de l’Electricité. The work includes provision of a distributed control system based on the Symphony Plus total plant automation platform. ABB was awarded a second contract by Ansaldo to expand the 220kV substation which connects the Ain Djasser power plants to the grid.
