Talk:Tekirdağ gas power plant

Capacity and usage?!
Hi,are you sure this quote from the article is not wrong?

It is a combined cycle plant with 480 MW installed power and 3.6 GW·h annual generation capacity.

480 MW capacity, run the power station for a single hour and you have = 480,000 kWh or 480 MWh. 1 GWh = 1000 MWh. So the power station is only running 8 hours per year or so according to the articles text?! Even oil backup power stations in Europe during the 80's and 90's which are now most sold into poor countries with oil production or close to a major oil producer were running much much more than only a few minutes per month... also one transport of LNG or natural gas would last for 1 year, a pipeline to such a small consumer would not be layed and LNG would require large tanks since LNG can only be transported very cost effective through its very large size (and larger coming with the Q-Max follower from Qatar),

the plants sold mostly to Africa and a few to poor asian states there they run too only as a emergency plants but of course much more than 3.6 GWh in a year... A daily 3.6 GWh would be realistic... usually power plants above 250 MW reach the Terrawatt-Hours after not soooo long time, except it is really only a "backup" Gas or oil plant which can compensate the peak time and if for some reason the people use more than power than calculated earlier (if it is very hot for example in the US very much people start their air conditioner, or if already activated they increase it to generate more cold air... also bad weather at summer sundays can generate a higher usage because of people being at home, watching TV, using PC's/Notebooks, Consolesm DVD/Blu-Ray Players and so on.... Maybe someone can correct this?! I do not want to, because someone will tell me my ref is not soo nice written (no author etc) or something else... and bad english, so thanks if someone could check this out!

 * Hi Thanks for your review and criticism. The above mentioned quote is verbatim from the source provided by the plant's website. So, I am, the creator of the article, liar of the source. However, if you think it cannot be correct so please do something. Besides, it seems that your English knowledge is better. No one prevents you from copyediting it. This is called "Wikipedia". Please have time to upgrade the article rather than to waste time to write a long critique. Grüsse. CeeGee 08:24, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

I had very negative experience with editing articles... here on English Wikipedia not sooo much but also it started here too and is the reason why Wiki is no longer number 1 for words it was for a decade on the most famous search engine IMHO. Some things are so... "senseless"(?) in German Wikipedia so that I will not do any edit without being "backed" by heavy ammo (sources, good sources, good formulation etc). No Sir, no changes, but i will stop "critique", see a new word learned, at least in this way to write it.

Hey, how are you? This is "ok", but not for a "perfect" article sentence... especially as we go into power stations and maybe even nuclear reactors... Greetings/Grüße back, have a nice day! Please do not feel attacked personally your response was under the top 10% of most... reputable, reasonable (dict.cc ;) ) So enjoy your day or evening! Kilon22 (talk) 20:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Thank you for your reply and explanations. Ja, man lernt nie aus. Grüsse auch. CeeGee 18:44, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for the late answer. I will change it right after this, I hope that is not too long: The operator wrote it so that its easier to understand but correct (3.6 billion KILOwatt hours), means you have to take 3.6 billion * 1000 = 3.6 trillion watt hours = 3.6 TWh. I didn't make a change because I made them a few times and it was reverted with poor reasons. I will not ping you now for this old post, just tell you (again?) why I got careful with edits. Greetings or Grüße zurück ;) Kilon22 (talk) 11:53, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

The image is wrong
The image used in this article is wrong. That image belongs to Tekirdağ gas power plant B, not A. You may see the pictures of power plant B from the EÜAŞ website here, and power plant A here. This power plant operated by Unimar until 2019, you may find its pictures on the internet by searching Unimar CCGT. I actually lived in Marmaraereğlisi for a while and I know where these power plants located, so if you do not trust me, you may trust to the EUAS website. Please be advised,.
