The consortium comprising Voith and HeiTech Padu Berhad (HeiTech), a technology company located in Malaysia, has been awarded the contract to modernize three hydropower stations operated by TNB Power Generation Sdn. Bhd. (TNB Genco) a subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) as part of the Life Extension Program (LEP).
The project includes the Temengor hydropower station, which features four Francis turbines, each with a capacity of 100 MW, the Bersia plant, equipped with three vertical Kaplan turbines, each with a capacity of 24 MW and finally, the project includes the Kenering station, which has three Francis turbines, each with a capacity of 40 MW. All these power stations are located on the Sungai Perak, in the northern part of Malaysia. Further more the project includes the Bersia Group Control Center for operation and control of all river cascade power station.
The multimillion-euro order covers the rehabilitation of turbine-generator units, automation systems, and electrical and mechanical balance of plant auxiliary power station systems. The primary objectives of the modernization include extending the operational lifespan of the stations and increasing the annual output of select turbine-generator units. Notably, the Temengor Hydropower Station is expected to achieve a 15% boost in output capacity.
The modernization initiative marks a pivotal phase for the customer TNB Power Generation Sdn. Bhd.’s LEP, as it reflects Malaysia’s commitment to maintaining and upgrading its hydropower assets while ensuring reliable and sustainable energy supplies. Post-upgrade, the three stations are poised to deliver enhanced performance and renewed operational excellence.
