TEPC Completes Erection of Combustion Turbine for Datang's Gaojing Gas-fired Cogeneration Power Project

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--Tianjin Electric Power Construction Company (TEPC) (Tianjin), a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) (Beijing), erected the No. 8 combustion turbine for Datang International Power Company Limited's (601991.SH) (Beijing) 1,380-megawatt (MW) Beijing Gaojing Gas-fired Cogeneration Power Project onto its final position on April 3, 2013, according to an announcement from the CEEC on April 8.

The Beijing Gaojing Gas-fired Cogeneration Power Project is a key municipal project that is based on an existing 600-MW, coal-fired power plant located in western suburban Beijing. The project is furnished with three sets of 460-MW, gas-fired, combined-cycle units, including three combustion turbines (CT), three heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) and two steam turbine generators. Two CTs and one steam turbine generator are in the "2+1" layout, and the other CT and steam turbine generator is in the "1+1" layout. With the adoption of an advanced 9FB combustion turbine, a backpressure steam turbine and synchro-self-shifting (SSS), the project could provide a centralized heating service for an area of 19.24 million square meters upon completion.

As reported, the No. 8 combustion turbine is largest single piece of equipment. The GE-manufactured PG9351FAB heavy frame combustion turbine has a weight of 309 metric tons. Prior to the erection, the Project Office of TEPC had prepared a detailed instruction book and had conducted a throughout technical and safety presentation to all workers at site.

The project received final approval from the National Development and Reform Commission on March 29, 2012. Construction of the project kicked off in June 2012. According to the schedule, the first unit will begin operations in September 2013, and the entire project is expected to be completed in December 2013.
