The fuel can reportedly be switched while the engines areoperating, eliminating the need to stop the engine. The plant willdeliver the same output on all three fuels. This way, the powerplant can always use the cheapest and the most readily availablefuel.
When operational, the plant is expected to significantly diversifyTogo's power generation portfolio and will supplement the country'shydroelectric power during the dry season. The electricityinvestment is said to be the largest in Togo's history and it willdouble the country's generating capacity.
Tony van Velzen, regional director for Africa at Wartsila's powerplants division, said: "We have enjoyed extremely good co-operationwith ContourGlobal in developing this project. The tri-fuelcapability of the engines was a key factor in being awarded thecontract, in addition to the fact that the Wartsila 50DF engineoffers high output, low emission rates, first class efficiency, andexcellent reliability."
