Abu Dhabi Power Station (ADPS) is located on the island of Abu Dhabi within the city limits and occupies 515,000m2 land close along side the city's residential and commercial activities. ADPS has ‘‘evolved’’ over the years to meet the Power to & Water needs of the residents of Abu Dhabi.

At present, ADPS employs a staff of 460 (including the headquarters staff of BPC) and has declared a production capacity of 518 MW of electricity generation and 15 MGPD of desalinated water production.

To summarize, ADPS operates and maintains the following equipment:

• 4 Frame 5 Fuel Regulator Controlled (5001 Generators (1970) form, to LA Series) John Brown Gas Turbines coupled to 10MW generators, originally designed as dual purpose machines using the hot exhaust gasses in co-generation to generate L.P. Steam via Waste Heat Boilers -- 40 MW.
• 3 Frame 5 Speedtronic MKII Controlled (5001 P Series) General Electric Gas Turbines coupled to 16 MW General Electric Generators (1973) designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 48 MW.
• 4 Frame 5 Speedtronic MK I Generators (1975) also Controlled (5001 N Series) John Brown Gas Turbines coupled to 16 MW Brush generators originally designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 64 MW.
• 8 Frame 6 Speedtronic MK V Controlled (6001 B Series) John Brown Gas Turbines coupled to 30 MW GEC Alsthom Generators (1994) designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 240 MW.
• 1 Diesel Generator for Black Start -- 6MW.
• 2 AEG KANIS 36 Stage Steam Generators coupled to 20 MW AEG condensing Steam Turbines specifically for power generation -- 40 MW.
• 4 AEG KANIS 28 Stage Steam Generators coupled to 20 MW AEG Steam Turbines, originally designed and built as Back Pressure Steam Turbines, providing pass-out steam -- 80 MW.
• 4 Sidem 3.75 MGD MSF Desalination Units -- 15 MGD.

Al Ain Power Station (AAPS):

Al Ain Power Station is situated 150 Km from Abu Dhabi. It occupies about 285,000 m2 land located in the center of Al Ain city close to residential and commercial activities.

Historically, Al Ain Power Station also ‘evolved’ to meet the power needs of the region. Early power generation at the station relied on Diesel Engine Generators which were later augmented with the addition of Gas Turbine Generators.

At present, AAPS employs a staff of 250 and has a production capacity of 428 MW of electricity generation. Al Ain Power Station has no water desalination capability.

To summarize, AAPS operates and maintains the following equipment:

• 4 Diesel generators at 6 MW each -- 24 MW.
• 4 Diesel generators at 13 MW each -- 52 MW.
• 2 Frame 5 General Electric Gas Turbines coupled to 16 MW generators designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 32 MW.
• 2 Frame 5 John Brown Gas Turbines coupled to 16 MW generators designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 32 MW.
• 2 Frame 5 Alsthom Gas Turbines coupled to 16 MW generators designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 32 MW.
• 4 Frame 5 BBC Gas Turbines coupled to 22 MW generators originally designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 88 MW.
• 2 Frame 5 Westinghouse Gas Turbines coupled to 26 MW generators designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 52 MW.
• 4 Frame 6 Speedtronic MK V Controlled (6001 B Series) John Brown Gas Turbines coupled to 29 MW generators designed and built as single purpose power generation machines -- 116 MW.
