At 9:17 and 18:24 local time on February 6, Türkiye had two earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 with a focal depth of 20 kilometers, and many buildings were razed to the ground, causing heavy casualties and property losses.
The three hydropower stations FEKE-I, FEKE-II and KARAKUZ, which are responsible for the complete supply and installation of electromechanical equipment by the East China Institute of Powerchina, are located in Adana Province, Türkiye, only 200 kilometers away from the epicenter of the first strong earthquake with magnitude 7.8. At present, the main structures of the three power stations are in good condition and normal operation, have withstood the test of strong earthquakes, and provide continuous power supply for earthquake relief work.
The construction content of the three power stations is the turnkey project of complete sets of electromechanical equipment in the whole scope of the power station. Among them, FEKE-II Hydropower Station is equipped with two 35MW mixed-flow units. The electromechanical complete project of the power station was started in January 2008. After more than two years of design, procurement, supply and installation, it was officially put into commercial operation in December 2010. FEKE-I Hydropower Station was installed with two 16.2MW mixed-flow units, which were signed in April 2008 and officially put into commercial operation in June 2012. KARAKUZ Hydropower Station was installed with two 40.2MW six-nozzle impulse units, which were signed in May 2012. In July 2015, two units were successfully connected to the grid for power generation.
In the process of project construction, the PowerChina team has given full play to its technical advantages, closely combined the Chinese scheme with European standards, paid attention to overseas risk control, strict quality standards, project localization operation, etc., strictly controlled the project quality, promoted the continuous improvement of the project management level, and comprehensively controlled the safety, quality, progress and cost, which has been highly recognized by the owners and partners.
At present, the three power stations dispatch power generation according to the power grid to provide power guarantee for earthquake relief work.
