CUSTOMER VALUE
Reliable, Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Power
In 2005, Michelin decided to expand the production at their Hallstadt plant. They were looking for a reliable, efficient and cost effective energy supply for their modern combined heal and power :CHF) plant, wh ch would prov de the complete electricity generation and steam needs of the manufacturing plant. Michelin turned to Solar Turbines, who they had enjoyed a good working relationship with in the past, having purchased a Centaur® gas turbine for the Hallstadt plant in 1988, as well as seven other Solar® gas turbines providing power for Michelin manufactunng plants around the world. The return on investment for the 1988 Centaur was four years. At the heart of their modern Hallstadt CHP plant is a Taurus™ 65 gas turbine. The gas turbine generates 6.3 MW of power and, along with a boiler, provides enough power and steam to cover the energy needs of the plant.
