Profile

Operating status: Woodsdale is currently operating; a closure or retirement is listed for June 21, 2024.
Grid role: Peaking capacity / peakload gas-turbine generation
Grid connection: Woodsdale Substation · Duke Energy Ohio Inc.
Context: Woodsdale is a historically distinctive peaking station: an ASME paper described its first block as six indoor simple-cycle combustion turbine-generators in commercial operation, with space reserved for six additional units. The operating plant now has six units totaling 571.8 MW of nameplate capacity.
Physical build: Woodsdale is a six-unit simple-cycle natural-gas combustion-turbine station. The documented Woodsdale fuel-oil project scope adds No. 2 fuel-oil capability to all six units, including two approximately 2-million-gallon storage tanks, fuel-oil unloading and forwarding systems, a new fuel-oil mechanical/electrical building, two 100%-capacity low-pressure forwarding pumps, and GE-supplied fuel-oil blocks with two 100%-capacity high-pressure pumps.
