Unit V
Unit V was added to the existing four units of the Agios Dimitrios plant to be connected to the 400 kV outdoor
In 1993, PPC awarded the contract for the supply and installation of Unit V to the consortium of the companies Ansaldo GIE (consortium leader – Italy, at present (2008) Ansaldo Energia a Finmeccanica Company), Austrian Energy and Environment SGP/Waagner-Biro GmbH (Austria) and AEGEK (Greece).
Main steps of the contract execution were:
- cooling tower completion – November 1995
- 6 kV initial electrification – August 1996
- boiler first ignition – February 1997
- unit first synchronization – May 1997
- official opening – October 1997
- commercial operation – December 1997
In May 1995, a 6.6
Contract and project management
The contract was signed on March 31, 1993, by Th. Xanthopoulos, PPC
For the contract performance phase, the management of the project was provided by a project team composed by Roberto Pisani as project director, appointed by the consortium leader Ansaldo GIE, and Klaus Zink and Costas Latsenere as project managers, appointed by A.E. & E. and AEGEK respectively. At the plant, Salvatore Brozzas and Giorgio Simoncin were appointed by the consortium leader as site and start-up managers interfacing with S. Spaniolas, the Unit V construction manager of PPC. Project activities were supported by Vincenzo Gaiaschi, Konstantinos Metaxas and Konstantinos Keramidas in the consortium office of Athens led by Giorgio Mazzoni. Ansaldo GIE, consortium leader, played also the role of plant architect engineer, assigning to Roberto Masi this duty as project engineer.
On October 18, 1997, the unit was officially opened with the presence of
