• Voith and Siemens have collaborated closely in the area of distributed power generation since 2009. Voith BHS turbo gear units are renowned for their precision and reliability.
• The Siemens gas turbine will contribute significantly to securing a stable power supply in Bolivia as of mid-2018.

Siemens uses the AD 114-2 turbo gearbox in the SGT-800 gas turbine which was designed initially for industrial generation of electricity in both decentralized and combined cycle power plants. The BHS turbo gearbox currently being supplied utilizes a turbine speed of 6,609 rpm to power a generator at 1,500 rpm for an output of up to 57 megawatts.

Once the 100th BHS turbo gearbox has been installed in the turbine line at Finspång, the system will make its way from Sweden to Bolivia this year. There it will become part of a comprehensive package of equipment for the state power company ENDE Andina. With this Bolivia not only stabilizes and secures constant power supply for the general public but also strengthens the export of power to neighboring states. Commissioning is planned for mid-2018.
