BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua) — China's first 550-MW F-class gas turbine unit has successfully completed a 168-hour full-load test and officially entered service, marking a new breakthrough in the application of high-efficiency, large-capacity clean energy equipment, China Huadian Corporation Ltd. announced on Saturday.
This unit is part of the corporation's gas power project located in the Tongnan district of Chongqing, southwest China. The project's total installed capacity is approximately 1.1 million kW, making it the largest single-unit F-class gas turbine unit with the highest efficiency in the country.
Once fully operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 2.1 billion kWh of electricity annually, enough to meet the annual electricity needs of approximately 1.75 million households. It will also save approximately 200,000 tons of fuel equivalent and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 860,000 tons per year, while reducing sulfur dioxide and particulate matter emissions to near zero.
According to the corporation, electricity generated from natural gas serves as a supporting, regulatory, and integral energy source for the construction of a new type of energy system. Gas-fired power units not only replace coal-fired power plants but also play a crucial role in providing a powerful, efficient, and environmentally friendly backup power supply.
Compared to coal-fired power units, gas turbine units offer significantly lower emissions, greater flexibility, and higher efficiency. They can reach full power in approximately one hour, which is approximately five times faster than traditional coal-fired units.
