3 August 2006 - Siemens Power Generation (PG) will outfit the Waigaoqiao 3 and Daihai coal-fired power plants with cutting-edge instrumentation & controls (I&C) systems. These projects involve implementation of the Siemens Power Plant Automation-T3000 (SPPA-T300), world's first fourth-generation I&C system.
The customers for the Waigaoqiao 3 and Daihai plants are Power Generation Co., Ltd. and Inner Mongolia Daihai Power Generation Co., Ltd.
In mid-2005 Siemens received an order for the supply of the main components for two steam turbines and one generator for Waigaoquiao 3. The company is now under contract to provide the coal fired plant with its advanced SPPA-T3000 I&C system. The scope of supply for the plant, which is located near Shanghai and has an overall capacity of 2 x 1000 MW, also includes installation of a new central control room. Siemens PG also is providing the I&C system and a new central control room for the 1200 MW coal fired Daihai power plant, located in Inner Mongolia, roughly 400 km west of Beijing. Commissioning at both plants is scheduled for the fall of 2007.
Siemens has already installed more than 2500 I&C systems in numerous power plants around the world that have widely-varying configurations. It has received 60 orders for the SPPA-T3000 I&C system. Just a short time ago Siemens Power Generation extended an existing cooperation agreement with the South Korean firm Doosan for an additional five years. According to the terms of this agreement, Doosan will primarily implement Siemens I&C systems in its projects located around the world.
"The potential of this innovative fourth-generation technology is being increasingly recognized by customers. We have set the worldwide standard, above all in terms of cost-effectiveness, reliability and ease of operation," emphasized Karlheinz Springer, manager of the Power Plant Instrumentation & Controls Division of Siemens PG.
