The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai

WorleyParsons unit named owners' engineer on Dubai solar project

DUBAI, August 5, 2018

Advisian, a global consulting unit of WorleyParsons, has been selected as the owner’s engineer on a 700 MW concentrating solar power project in Dubai.
 
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) awarded the 700 MW concentrating solar power (CSP) fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai to a consortium formed by Acwa Power and Shanghai Electric. The consortium together with Dewa have formed the Noor Energy 1 entity to design, build and operate what will be the largest CSP project in the world.
 
Noor Energy 1 has appointed Advisian as the project owner’s engineer. 
 
Advisian will provide a review of the basic and detailed engineering; will help manage technology risk and provide technical support as required for the factory acceptance tests and during the construction and commissioning of the plant. 
 
Advisian will deliver the project using the specialised CSP technology team based in the Renewable Energy Center of Excellence in Madrid, Spain, with support from Shanghai-based engineers, to interface with the power block design, and will draw on the Dubai office for site supervisory support, said the company.
 
 “Our recent work in the renewable energy sector, in solar, floating offshore wind, microgrids and green hydrogen is directly aligned to our organisational strategy. This partnership between Noor Energy and Advisian further demonstrates our shared organisational commitment to paving the way forward for the renewable energy sector,” said Tony Frencham, group managing director of power, WorleyParsons.
 
“We’re indeed proud of our cooperation and integration of the Advisian CSP Center of Excellence with our project company team for the design and engineering of the world´s largest CSP Project,” said Abdulhameed AlMuhaidib, executive managing director of Noor Energy 1. “We’re confident that such partnership will be the key to overcoming the most important milestone of the project and successful delivery of the 4th Phase of Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park on time.” - TradeArabia News Service
