Japanese-led Consortium Wins Talin Thermal Power Plant Project from Taiwan Power Company
Tokyo, May 21, 2012 (JCN) - A consortium of IHI, Korea's CTCI and Sumitomo, with Toshiba's Steam Turbine Generator, has won the Talin coal-fired ultra supercritical thermal power plant (800MW x 2unit) full turnkey project from the Taiwan Power Company (Taipower).
The consortium was jointly awarded the contract for engineering, procurement and construction of two Power Generating Units with Power Block Buildings and Facilities at Talin Thermal Power Plant to replace existing facilities at the plant. Commercial OperationDates are scheduled in 2016 for Unit 1 and 2017 for Unit2.
Based on Taipower Long-Term Power Development Program, part of existing power generating units shall be demolished and replaced with two ultra-supercritical pressure coal fired boilers which output is 800MW each in Talin Thermal Power Plant located in Kaohsiung District in southern Taiwan.
IHI will supply boilers and provide technical and commercial leadership of the consortium. Sumitomo takes charge of civil and installation workofthe steam turbines, generators and other auxiliary equipment supplied by Toshiba. CTCI will supplyi the balance of plant and execute civil and installation work for boilers and the balance of plant.
Taipower plans to establish, expand and renewlarge capacity thermal power plants with higher efficiency and lower CO2 emissions than subcritical-pressure power generating systems.
The ultra-supercritical pressure coal fired boilers to be supplied by IHI will improve plant efficiency by operating Toshiba's steam turbines and generators at ultra-high temperature and under ultra-high pressure. Less environmental impact will be feasible by such high efficiency operation with less CO2 emissions.
IHI, Sumitomo and Toshiba have extensiveexperience of construction of thermal power plants overseas. CTCI is the largest engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm in Taiwan. The four companies will continue efforts towards thermal power plant projects worldwide in the future.
