When the Pou Chen Group decided to build a new industry park in Dong Guan City in Guang Dong Province, China, they decided that they needed their own power plant that would grow in pace with the park’s development. They had a clear vision of what they wanted to do as they knew the park’s planned growth rate.
Wärtsilä solution
The first contract to Wärtsilä was signed in early 2000. The contract’s scope was for the supply of six Wärtsilä 18V32LN diesel generating sets and related auxiliary equipment together with detailed mechanical and electrical design, supervision and commissioning. The power house was designed and built for the eventual installation of 18 engines. It featured ready-made foundations and space which would make it easier and faster to increase the plant’s power output by installing new generating sets.
Currently, the Yue Yuen power plant has twelve generating sets, each providing 6.4 MWe giving a total of 76.8 MWe installed. Another three Wärtsilä 18V32 sets will be delivered by the end of 2004 to provide a further 24 MWe. When all 18 generating sets are in place the plant will be producing 124.8 MWe for the new industrial park. The 12 Wärtsilä 18V32LN engines run on HFO (heavy fuel oil) with LFO (light fuel oil) as a back-up. The plant produces both electricity and steam.
