Delta Energy Park is a power plant for Lansing Board of Water and Light that is capable of generating 250 Megawatts using natural gas and steam. The plants power output comes from 3 gas turbines and 1 Steam turbine each of these 4 units has its own generator. These four generators put power to two step up transformers that increase the voltage from 13,800 Volts to 138,000 volts and then out to the distribution grid through it’s new switchyard which was also part of the project. To get the 4 generators to produce power there is an extraordinary amount of support equipment we refer to as balance of plant equipment that is required to be installed and commissioned. To run a power plant you need fuel(a lot of it), you need clean dry compressed air, you need water of all kinds( potable, service, fire, demineralized, closed cooling, circulating, river, Auxiliary cooling), water treatment laboratory, Boilers, Auxiliary Boilers, electrical gear, and a large computer system and control room to make it all run. On this particular project I was tasked with being the overall site lead for Barton Malow/Clark Joint Venture know as Lansing Power Constructors.
