APEC1 Completes Steam Turbine Box-Up of Unit 2 of China Resources' Cangnan Coal-Fired Project

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--Anhui Electric Power Construction No.1 Engineering Company (AEPC1) (Hefei, Anhui) completed the box-up of the steam turbine for Unit 2 of China Resources Power (Wenzhou) Company Limited's (Wenzhou, Zhejiang) Cangnan coal-fired power plant in China, according to AEPC1's parent company.

AEPC1 completed the box-up after welding the main steam pipelines on January 13, announced parent company China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) (Beijing).

AEPC1 used two bridge cranes simultaneously to perform the box-up, starting first with the high-pressure (HV) cylinder, followed by middle-pressure (MP) cylinder and the low-pressure (LP) cylinder.

The three-day continuous operation involved 7,000 pieces of steam turbine equipment with a total weight of about 520 metric tons.

The Cangnan coal-fired power plant is located on the coast of Bacao Town, Cangnan County, in the southern part of eastern China's Zhejiang province. The power plant has a total planned capacity of 6,000 megawatts (MW).

Two 1,000-MW, ultra-supercritical, coal-fired units are to be built in the first phase of the power plant project, with a total investment of $1.3 billion. The steam turbine generating unit for the project was supplied by Dongfang Electric Corporation Limited (Chengdu, Sichuan).

The National Development and Reform Commission cleared the project on December 19, 2011. Construction began in April 2012. The first unit began operations in early January. Unit 2 of the project is scheduled to begin operations in the first half of 2014.

Upon completion, the project will be able to supply about 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to the China East Power Grid, via 500-kilovolt transmission lines.
