At 16:52 on May 2, the EPC project of China National United Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'China United') contracted by SINOMACH, the largest coal-fired power plant in Colombia GECELCA 3.2 (hereinafter referred to as 'G3.2 project') The unit load was increased to 300 MW, and the net power generation exceeded the contracted 273 MW, achieving full-load operation for the first time. Prior to April 23 (Colombia time), the project was successfully connected to the grid for the first time. The People’s Daily reported this.
The success of the grid-connected and full-load operation indicates that the unit is ready for operation and commissioning, with a load depth commissioning work for the next step, and a solid foundation for the 72-hour performance assessment test and unit handover. China’s joint G3.2 project department will continue The participating parties worked together, carefully planned, and carefully organized the follow-up installation, commissioning, and operation work to ensure that the project entered commercial operations as scheduled and successfully transferred.
The project is located in Freeport, Cordoba Province, in the northwestern part of Colombia. The construction scale is a 300MW coal-fired thermal power unit. Prior to this, China United EPC contracted the first phase of the project—GECELCA 3 project (185 MW). The total installed capacity of the project accounted for 1/3 of the installed capacity of coal-fired power stations in Colombia, which eased the country’s previous power shortage in the dry season caused by hydropower's total power generation capacity of 2-3%, and provided the local residents and industrial power supply. Better protection.
It is reported that the project is the first power plant project contracted by the Chinese company in Colombia and is the first coal-fired power plant turnkey project undertaken by the Chinese company through international tendering in the South American region. The power station is entirely designed using Chinese, Chinese and Chinese equipment. Large boilers to large transformers, from industrial water treatment equipment to large-scale wind turbines, from steam turbines to high-temperature and high-pressure water pumps... While stimulating domestic related industries to go abroad, they also gradually accepted Chinese standards.
