Activity on this project started with the evaluation of five sites. We provided preliminary engineering, engineering, detailed design and procurement for Unit # l with a 500 MW capacity.

Unit # 1 was equipped with a General Electric turbine generator, an ABB Combustion Engineering steam generator, electrostatic precipitator and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system and a Zurn natural-draft cooling tower.

We also performed environmental and licensing services to prepare major portions of the Environmental Report and permit applications for Louisville Gas and Electric Company.

The plant design incorporated the latest concepts in electrical and control systems design, including extensive use of multiplexing and distributed control system hardware, full utilization of computers, data highways, color display graphics and color alarm displays.

The water and wastewater management plan provided for on-site disposal of all solid wastes, and except for cooling tower blowdown, zero wastewater discharge. Computer modeling was used for thermal plume and stack gas dispersion analyses, which included a design optimization phase using U.S. EPA-approved models to ensure regulatory compliance.
