Invensys to Upgrade Taiwan Power Company's Kuosheng Nuclear Plant
 
英維斯為臺灣電力公司的國圣核電廠提供升級

August 26, 2008 - Invensys Process Systems signed a multi-million dollar deal with state-owned Taiwan Power Company (TPC) to provide critical upgrades to the Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in northern Taiwan.

8月26日消息—英維斯過程系統與臺灣電力公司簽署了一份數百萬美元的合同，為位于臺灣東北部的國圣核電廠提供關鍵升級。

Under the terms of the contract, IPS will replace and upgrade obsolete analog-based recirculation water control systems with digital systems, allowing Kuosheng NPP to better handle plant transients and significantly improve plant availability. IPS will also provide modifications to operational training simulators to ensure process consistency with the upgrades.

根據合同條款，英維斯過程系統將更換和更新基于模擬的老式在循環水控制系統為數字系統，使得國圣核電廠可以更好地處理電涌以及極大改善工廠的供電能力。英維斯過程系統還將為運營培訓模擬器提供修正，確保與升級工程保持過程的一致性。

"IPS services and solutions have demonstrated superior performance over incumbent, older systems, and are an important part of TPC's goal to improve plant availability and the delivery and quality of our energy products," said Mr. TS Liu, Instrumentation and Controls Manager at TPC Kuosheng. "We are pleased with the high level of local engineering support and services provided by IPS, and we look forward to working with them as we increase grid quality and reliability, improve competitiveness in Taiwan's deregulating utility market and reach our CO2 emission targets."

國圣核電廠儀表及控制系統經理劉先生表示：“英維斯過程系統的服務和解決方案已經證明了比目前使用的較老的系統擁有更好的性能，也是臺灣電力公司的改善工廠供電能力以及我們電力產品質量的目標的重要部分。我們很高興英維斯過程系統所提供的高水平本地施工支持及服務，我們也期待著與他們共同合作，因為我們需要加強電網的質量和可靠性，在臺灣開放管制了的電力市場提高競爭力，以及實現我們的二氧化碳排放目標。”

IPS has been a significant supplier to the global nuclear industry for more than 50 years and is well staffed with local and international automation engineers familiar with nuclear applications. The company will be providing Kuosheng NPP with a suite of digital control automation solutions, including its IA Series system, FSIM and SIM4ME simulation software, as well as nuclear engineering, Verification and Validation (V/V) site installation and commissioning services.

英維斯過程系統在50多年來已經成為了全球核工業的一個重要供應商，而且擁有強大的本地和全球的熟悉核應用的自動化工程師。該公司將為國圣核電廠提供一套數字控制自動化解決方案，包括其IA Series系統、FSIM 以及 SIM4ME模擬軟件，以及核工程、驗證和確認(V/V)、現場安裝以及調試服務。

Kuosheng NPP is the second nuclear power station of state-owned Taiwan Power Company, with its two plants each generating 985MW in electrical power. More than 30 percent of TPC's MW generation is controlled and monitored by IPS systems.

國圣核電廠是臺灣電力公司的第二個核電廠，其兩個電機組裝機容量各為985MW。臺灣電力公司發電容量的百分之三十多是由英維斯過程系統控制和監控。

"IPS is glad to be a trusted solutions partner of TPC in its nuclear power generation expansion and market improvement goals," said Mr. Jackson Chiu, General Manager for IPS, Taiwan. "With ever increasing crude, feedstock and operational costs, nuclear power generation will drive the next phase of energy affordability and availability to industries and households. Thus automating critical plant processes for better reliability and safety has never been more important."

英維斯過程系統臺灣總經理Jackson Chiu先生表示：“英維斯過程系統很高興能成為在臺灣電力公司的核發電擴建和市場改進目標中成為受信任的解決方案合作伙伴。隨著原油、原料和運營成本的日益上升，核能發電將推動下一個行業和家庭用戶可負擔和可用的能源階段的到來。因此，實現更高可靠性和安全性的關鍵工廠流程的自動化從來沒有如此重要。”
