Pingshan Solar Power Plant

What is Pingshan power station?

The Pingshan power station is a large modern coal-fired power station in China. The power station is divided into two phases with phase one consisting of two 660 MW units both with scrubbing systems and cooling towers. Phase two has one ultra-supercritical secondary reheat unit with a 1350 MW capacity.

Does China have a patent for a solar power plant?

Patents for it have been granted in China, the USA and the EU. The National Energy Administration (NEA) of China approved its technical evaluation and authorised a national demonstration project for the technology in 2015. It was initially planned to build the project next to Waigaoqiao 3 power plant.

Is Pingshan the world's most efficient coal-fired power plant?

Although the double reheat system is built with existing mature 600°C materials and equipment, the Pingshan Phase 2 1350 MW unit is on its way to becoming the most efficient coal-fired power plant in the world at 49.8% (net, LHV, THA condition). References

What is Pingshan Phase 2?

Upon commissioning by the end of August, 2020, the Pingshan Phase 2 will be the most efficient and cleanest plant in the world. Until the 1950s, pulverised coal combustion (PCC) power plants operated at subcritical steam conditions and employed a single circuit of steam through a boiler and turbine.

What are the advantages of shorter pipework in Pingshan Phase 2 power plant?

The shorter pipework reduces the pressure drop and temperature loss of steam from the boiler, which increases efficiency. The cost of the piping is significantly cut. This idea will be implemented for the first time at Pingshan Phase 2 power plant. The layout plan is as Figure 3. The main design parameters of Pingshan Phase 2 are in Table 1.
