BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 18. Iran presented its first modern MGT-75 gas turbine in Tehran on August 18, Trend reports.
The unveiling ceremony was attended by Iran’s Minister of Energy, Abbas Aliabadi, and other officials.
In 2020, a contract was signed between the Thermal Power Plant Production Company (TPPH) under Iran’s Ministry of Energy and the Mapna Group to produce the modern gas turbine. The F-model MGT-75 turbine is designed to reduce environmental pollutants and can operate using natural gas and hydrogen.
The MGT-75 turbine demonstrates robust performance metrics
aligned with global benchmarks, exhibiting a generation capacity of
222 megawatts during standard operational parameters and achieving
an enhanced output of 330 megawatts in a synergistic combined-cycle
configuration. The deployment will occur at the Besat Thermal Power
Plant in Tehran, incorporating an advanced AI-driven digital
oversight and regulatory framework.
The aggregate electricity generation capacity of Iran’s power
generation facilities stands at a substantial 77,032 megawatts.
Combined-cycle systems are capable of generating around 35,663
megawatts, while gas turbine units yield 25,539 megawatts, and
steam generation facilities contribute 15,830 megawatts.
