China's "competitive opportunity" has another good news! At 15:00 on March 16, the F-class 50-MW heavy-duty gas turbine independently developed by Dongfang Electric passed the "72+24" hour operation assessment at the Distributed Energy Station in Deyang Economic Development Zone, Sichuan, and was officially put into commercial operation, marking the fact that the commercial application of F-class 50-MW heavy-duty gas turbines has matured, laying a solid foundation for further promoting the serialization, cleanliness and industrialization of independent gas turbines.

This project is the first batch of gas turbine innovation and development demonstration projects approved by the National Energy Administration. Dongfang International, a subsidiary of Dongfang Electric Group, participates in the overall contract. Dongfang Steam Turbine provides F-class 50 MW heavy-duty gas turbines manufactured in China. It is Dongfang Electric's completely independent intellectual property rights An important part of the research and development of F-class 50 MW heavy-duty gas turbines. This demonstration project is an important energy project cooperated by Deyang City People's Government, Deyang Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, China Power International Corporation, China Nuclear Power Planning and Design Institute Co., Ltd., Dongfang Electric and other parties.

This year's "Government Work Report" reviews the new breakthroughs achieved in scientific and technological innovation in the past year, and points out that "the key core technologies have achieved fruitful results, and the development of high-end equipment such as aeroengines, gas turbines, and fourth-generation nuclear power units has made great progress." As one of the main power sources of green and clean energy in the future, gas turbines play an important role in ensuring a stable supply of energy in the power system and building a safe, stable and green power and energy system.

Relying on the independent development of an F-class 50-megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine, Dongfang Electric successfully built an independent design system for an F-class gas turbine while solving the key core technology of the "stuck neck". It mastered the design method of the complete gas turbine and core components, and launched a series of independent gas turbines including 15 MW, 80 MW, and hydrogen-blended gas turbines. At the same time, it has promoted the joint participation of upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, cultivated a complete gas turbine manufacturing industrial chain in China and promoted the development and layout of the industrial chain of independent gas turbines.

Dongfang Electric will firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, accelerate the development of new quality productivity, continue to move towards "new", and contribute to building new competitiveness and lasting power for the high-quality development of China's economy."Oriental" power.

It is also reported that at present, the G50 Qingyuan project has entered the production and operation stage of heating and electricity protection. The cumulative safe operation has exceeded 1300 hours. All performance parameters have met the requirements, providing high-quality steam and electricity to surrounding enterprises. Subsequent units will remain in full operation and carry out long-term operation application and verification of heavy-duty gas turbines made in China, providing important data support for subsequent independent series of gas turbines design and development, opening a new chapter for the high-quality development of China's gas turbine industry.
