Power Generation
From a single generator AVR to a complete balance-of-plant package, we keep generation assets running and build new ones that run on day one.
Where we focus.
Generation plants do not get a soft launch. The day they start, the grid expects them. We supply the parts that keep generators, turbines, switchgear, exciters, governors and auxiliary systems available — and we engineer the new builds that bring fresh capacity online.
Across thermal, combined-cycle, gas-turbine, steam-turbine and renewables-tied facilities, our procurement spine covers the long-lead heavy plant items as well as the shelf-stable spares operators consume every quarter.
Where we're typically called in.
Replacement parts and equipment we carry.

New-build and revamp scope we deliver
- · Greenfield combined-cycle plants (up to 1,200 MW configurations)
- · Open-cycle gas-turbine peaking plants
- · Solar-PV utility plants (up to 500 MW)
- · CSP towers and parabolic-trough fields
- · Wind farm BoP and electrical works
- · BESS — grid-scale and behind-the-meter
Real-world failure modes engineers encounter.
Generator AVR / exciter failure
Voltage regulation drift and exciter brushgear wear are common in fleets older than 15 years; spares lead time often exceeds available outage windows.
Hot-gas-path component creep
Combustion liners, transition pieces and turbine blades degrade under thermal cycling; OEM-spec replacement intervals are non-negotiable.
Governor / speed-control card obsolescence
Legacy DCS controller cards on units commissioned 2008–2014 have hit OEM end-of-support; repair-and-return is the only viable path.
Transformer bushing degradation
OIP bushings on 132 kV step-up transformers fail unannounced when capacitance drift goes unnoticed; Doble C1/C2 testing should be on every overhaul checklist.
Steam-turbine seal-gas system fouling
Carbon-ring and labyrinth seals foul over time, dropping efficiency and risking contamination of the lube-oil system.
The codes that frame power generation procurement.
Regulatory landscape
Generation projects in the GCC are governed by the relevant national grid code (e.g. Saudi Grid Code 2018, UAE Distribution Code, Iraqi Grid Code) and the local utility's technical standards (DEWA Distribution Standards, KAHRAMAA Wiring Regulations, MEW Kuwait specifications). Equipment for connection to MV/HV networks usually requires either type-test certificates from a recognised lab (CESI, KEMA) or local-utility witness during routine tests. SABER conformity (Saudi Arabia) and ECAS / G-Mark conformity (UAE) apply to most electrical balance-of-plant equipment. Renewable-tied generation also requires grid-code compliance studies (LVRT, frequency response) at the connection-point level — we flag these at the spec stage so they don't surface as last-minute commissioning blockers.
What buyers actually ask about power generation.
Can you supply genuine generator AVR and exciter spares for a 1990s gas-turbine fleet?+
Yes. Brand-original AVR cards, exciter-bridge assemblies and brushless modules through the manufacturer or their authorised distributor, with serial-number traceability and the OEM's certificate of origin. For obsolete cards we run a parallel repair-and-return programme through certified service partners.
What documentation do you ship with hot-gas-path spares?+
OEM material test reports, NDE records, dimensional inspection sheets, and the manufacturer's certificate of origin. Third-party inspection at the manufacturer's works (SGS, TÜV, Bureau Veritas) is welcomed and easy to arrange.
Do you handle DCS migration when controller cards are end-of-support?+
Yes — phased migration engineered around the plant's outage window, with FAT in our Nanjing lab before shipment and on-site commissioning support. We can also keep the legacy platform alive via repair-and-return on declared-obsolete cards.
What is the typical lead time for 132 kV oil-filled power transformers landed in MENA?+
Made-to-order long-lead items typically run 28–40 weeks from PO. We can shave weeks off by pre-positioning long-lead bushings and accessories during FEED, and by aligning factory inspection slots with the buyer's witness team early.
What buyers typically ask about Power Generation.
How to ensure OEM compliance for a gas turbine retrofit in Saudi Arabia?+
Verify the supplier's quality management system and request traceability certificates for all components. In MENA, many retrofits require alignment with Saudi Aramco standards. Ensure the supplier provides original OEM part numbers and can demonstrate prior successful installations in similar GCC environments. Request a third-party inspection report from a recognized body like Lloyds or DNV.
What are the lead time considerations for procuring a GE 7E.03 gas turbine for a project in Egypt?+
Lead times for new GE 7E.03 turbines typically range from 12 to 18 months, depending on configuration and export controls. For MENA projects, factor in additional time for customs clearance in Egyptian ports and potential delays due to local content requirements. Always confirm the turbine's origin and ensure the supplier can provide a valid export license if sourced outside Egypt.
How to verify the authenticity of Siemens SGT-800 spare parts for a plant in UAE?+
Request the supplier's ISO 9001 certification and a letter of non-objection from Siemens if they claim authorized distribution. For genuine parts, check for holographic labels, serial numbers, and packaging consistent with Siemens standards. In UAE, the Economic Department can verify a supplier's trade license. Always insist on a warranty that covers material defects and performance.
