Emerson Process Management鈥檚 Innovative Technologies Now Used In More Than Half Of China鈥檚 1,000-Megawatt Power Plants
PITTSBURGH -- Emerson Process Management, a global business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR), has been awarded a contract from the China Power Investment Corp. (CPI) to digitally automate a new, ultra-supercritical power plant in central China. Ultra-supercritical plants require less coal per megawatt-hour, leading to lower emissions, higher efficiency, and lower overall fuel costs.
The Pingdingshan Luyang power plant in the Henan Province, jointly owned by CPI and Pingdingshan Coal Co. Ltd., will use Emerson technologies to manage critical processes, increase plant efficiencies, and boost megawatt production to support the region鈥檚 economic development and population growth. Under the contract, Emerson will provide automation and control technologies for the first two 1,000-megawatt units expected to go into commercial operation in 2010. The plant will ultimately feature six 1,000-megawatt units.
The win is yet another example of Emerson鈥檚 global leadership in the power generation industry. To date, Emerson鈥檚 plant automation and control technologies support 600 gigawatts of the world鈥檚 power generation capacity.
鈥淭he Pingdingshan Luyang power plant is critical to central China,鈥?said Hongzhan Wang, instrumentation and control director at CPI. replica bag wholesale 鈥淓merson鈥檚 industry-leading automation technology is the logical choice for supporting the region鈥檚 growing need for more power.鈥?
This project marks the first time Emerson鈥檚 technology will directly control a new 1,000-megawatt turbine in China. Additionally, Emerson鈥檚 system will monitor and control the boiler and all major plant components. Unifying boiler and turbine operations provides improved unit stability, responsiveness, and thermal efficiencies, as well as tighter overall control of plant operations.
Further, this is the first large-scale implementation of Emerson鈥檚 digital automation technologies in a Chinese power plant that incorporates high-speed communications networks, intelligent field devices, detailed diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. This approach offers a number of operational and economic advantages, including reduced wiring costs, streamlined device configuration, more efficient plant start-up, and long-term operations and maintenance savings.
鈥淓merson鈥檚 extensive experience in the supercritical power market makes us ideally suited for this project,鈥?added Bob Yeager, president of the Power & Water Solutions division of Emerson Process Management. 鈥淲e are tag heuer replica extremely proud and pleased to be working with the China Power Investment Corp. on an innovative solution that鈥檚 now serving nearly 65 percent of the approximately forty 1,000-megawatt units that are built or being built in China.鈥?
