The German Kurti “Expert”, again, finds little work on B1's KEK turbine

Because of a leak in the TB-B2 turbine, it had stopped last year in mid-winter. The Kosovo government had been forced to allocate several million euros for expensive import of electricity, even though production did not cover consumption with all production capacity. The company “was engaged for repairs G The Power AG” had exactly engaged an engineer of hers who was later listed as the German “expert of Kurti”.

This expert is having you come to Kosovo often. Kosovo's Energy Corporation has again hired experts at this company, now for an intervention in routine and turbines.

Like all the contracts this company has won in negotiation, without competition being allowed, this time the procurement procedure has been carried out by negotiation.

“Aggression of experts for changing bolts, partially reviewing with NDT and visual inspection in the low-pressure tunnel of the B1 unit's low-pressure turbine, so it's called a contract that's worth 109 740.00 euros.

Periscop has learned that Block B1 has been out of office for a few days. That is because it has gone to the planned annual remont. During the revision, there have also been observed several flaws in the turbine.

“During the demonstration, damage has been observed on shovels on the steps of the L-0 rotor and L-1, as well as on the diaphragm 28B and 29B, while the bottom ring of the 28B scale was completely disconnected from the diaphragm. After all the examinations, it has been concluded that the cause of high Czech injuries is the result of damage to the 28B ring bolts. where the ring was removed from the diaphragm, which then touched the rotor's moving section and damaged it and the pieces of the ring as well as the bolts have penetrated the rotor and caused considerable damage to the turbine. Therefore, the commitment of experts to changing bolts, partially reviewing with the NDT and visual inspection in the B1<x1-> unit's low-pressure turbine has suggested KEK.

In fact, in February of this year, KEK signed a new contract with, “G E Power AG” for “Supporting DCS on TC B for 2022”.

The total value of the contract is 693 thousand 560 euros, and the German company's engineer will be in Kosovo a year to support KEK experts for overhauling DCS at TC-B.

The thermal power division “Kosovo B” consists of two generation units known as the B1 and B2 unit. The design and design of this thermal power plant was made by a European company then called “S T E IN INDUSTRIE” The main equipment of this thermal power plant is also produced by prominent European companies, such as Turbogenerator (Turbina) by the company “MAN” has since been transferred to ALSTOM GmBH.

Electric generator from A Company France. ) The control and command system (DCS – P320) is from A Company LSTOM Pow ERERVICE from France.

Two economic operators G E PoWeer and Alstom PoWer Services, even though they are separate entities, are actually companies connected because GE Power owns the Alstom Power Services company. So, even KEK officials in their statements have said they have been forced to constantly negotiate contracts with “G Power AG” since they're turbine producers.

“Alstom Power Service - Representative Office in Kosovo” has received many negotiating contracts from KEK. So, uh... ALTOM) has been present in Kosovo constantly since 1979, since it is the Kosovo B thermal power company, while according to contractual agreements on TC-B, it has been found since 1983/4, since this thermal power plant was launched. Connecting his name to the entire TC-B, only in 2016, 2017, 2018, with “G E Power AG” has implemented contracts worth 22m euros. /Periscopi/
