Emerson Wins $7.4 Million Contract for Digital Automation of New Coal-Fired Power Plant in China
Advertisement
Emerson Process Management announced that it has won a $7.4 million contract to automate China's new Datang Ningde Power Plant. The project represents further evidence of China's emerging power generation controls market, which is estimated at $120 million, and growing at a double-digit rate annually. Emerson will use its innovative digital PlantWeb® automation architecture to reduce automation costs and optimize the power plant's performance and reliability.
Owned by Datang International Power Generation Co. Ltd., Datang Ningde is the first large-scale coal-fired power plant to be built in China's Fujian Province. With four 600-megawatt units, the plant is expected to help alleviate the province's reliance on hydropower. Expected to be operational in 2006, Datang Ningde will be a supercritical plant, using new clean coal technology that enables operation at elevated steam temperature and pressure.
Emerson's Power & Water Solutions division will coordinate and supervise the project that represents the first application of PlantWeb digital plant architecture with the Ovation® control system and Foundation(TM) fieldbus technology in a supercritical plant in China. PlantWeb is expected to generate major engineering, wiring and commissioning savings initially, as well as ongoing savings due to its AMS Suite(TM) asset management capabilities, which use predictive intelligence to optimize plant performance and reliability.
At the new four-unit plant, Emerson will install a total of 68 redundant controllers, 32 Ovation workstations, HART intelligent field devices and AMS Suite. In all, the Ovation system will manage nearly 36,000 I/O points. The first unit is expected to be operational in February 2006, with all units completed by June 2006.
