---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The capital of Central China's Hunan Province, Changsha, has finally obtained its first power source in history with the Huadian Changsha power plant. The plant's Unit 1 passed its 168-hour trial operation and went into commercial operation October 23, 2007.

Huadian Changsha Power Plant is in Wangcheng County, about 37 kilometers from downtown Changsha. The project is wholly owned by China Huadian Corporation (Beijing, China), one of the top five leading power producers in China. Construction began in December 2005. The company plans to build two 600-megawatt (MW) supercritical coal-fired units in Phase I and two 1000-MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired units in Phase II. The project will also be furnished with a flue gas desulfurization device and a de-nitration device.

Hunan Huadian Changsha Power Generation Company Limited (Hunan), a subsidiary of China Huadian Corporation, has strengthened its process control through scientific organization, innovative management and continual optimization. The project has achieved great performance in various aspects of safety, quality, progress and cost. It took only 22 months from the beginning of construction until the first unit went into operation. The desulfurization device and the de-nitration device were put into operation with efficiencies as high as 97%. Various economic and technical indicators are of excellent level.
