22. Brief Description
Northern Negros Geothermal Power Plant
The power plant is located at the western flank of Canlaon
Volcano in the island of Negros Occidental. It is a
conventional geothermal power generating plant, which
utilizes both the high pressure and low pressure geothermal
steam for power generation. The plant has a Gross
Capacity of 49.33 MW. It exports the generated power from
the 138 KV switchyard , via the 138 KV cross-country
Transmission Line and TransCo Bacolod Substation, and
finally into the TransCo power system and PNOC-EDC
customers.
25. Technical Description
Palinpinon Geothermal Power Plant
• Palinpinon Geothermal Power plant I (Pal-I) located
at Barrio Puhagan, Valencia, Negros Oriental is
approximately twenty one (21) kms. south-west of
Dumaguete city. The plant covers an area of 2.7
hectares at an elevation of 696 meters above sea
level.
• Pal-I can generate a total of 112.5 MW from three
(3) 37.5 MW turbine generator units. All equipment
was supplied by Fuji Electric Co. as a full turnkey
project. Commercial operation started in June, July
and September, 1983 for units 1,2 and 3
respectively.
• Palinpinon Geothermal Power plant II (Pal II) is
composed of three (3) modular
plants, Nasuji, Okoy-5 and Sogongon. The modular
plants were constructed in response to the
increasing demand of the Cebu-Negros-Panay
grid. The total capacity is 80 MW from four units.
Commercial operation of Nasuji and Okoy-5 started

31. EXAM III
• A 75MW geothermal power plant receives 600 TPH of
steam at full load. For the past year, the plant has
undergone 24-day PMS and incurred an outage of 10
hours for the first half and 4.5 hours for the second half
of the year. Considering that the plant has delivered
550,000,000 kWh of energy, compute for the steam rate
(kg/s / MW) at full load, reliability, and availability and
capacity factors. Assume that there are 365 days in a
year.
