Emerson to automate hydropower plant in China
艾默生為中國水電站提供自動化技術

Emerson Process Management is automating the Shehong Liushu Hydropower Project that will bring clean electrical power to China’s Sichuan province.

艾默生過程管理為射洪柳樹水電站項目提供自動化技術，幫助中國四川省使用清潔電力。

Hydropower development, particularly small hydropower, has been gaining traction in China as a clean energy source that can supplement thermal power sources and electrify rural areas. This project by Tuopai Power Development Co. Ltd. consists of three 16-megawatt units to help meet the growing energy needs of the Shehong region in southwest Sichuan. The first unit is expected to be operational in March 2016.

水電開發，尤其是小型水電站，作為火力發電的補充用于滿足鄉鎮區域的電力需求，已經成為推動中國清潔能源發展的引擎。該項目是沱牌電力開發有限公司開發，由三套16兆瓦機組組成，用于滿足位于四川省西南部的射洪縣日益增長的電力需求。首臺機組預計于2016年三月開始運行。

Emerson will provide its Ovation control and SCADA technology to manage hydropower operations. Tuopai Power Development is among the first hydropower generators in China to adopt distributed control system technology that provides tighter overall control, enhanced diagnostics, improved plant efficiency, reliable grid synchronization, enhanced cybersecurity and more efficient operator deployment.

艾默生將提供Ovation控制系統和SCADA技術，用于管理水電運營。沱牌電力開發公司是中國眾多首次采用分布式控制系統技術的水力發電公司之一，分布式控制系統技術可以為水力發電公司提供更嚴格的整體控制、優化診斷、提高工廠效率、實現可靠地電網同步、增強網絡安全并且實現更高效的人員調度。

“The strong reputation of Emerson and its Ovation technology heavily influenced our decision,” said Li Xianglin, instrument and control manager for Sichuan Tuopai Power Development. “We were especially impressed with Emerson’s experience applying its control and SCADA technology to hydropower units around the world.”

四川沱牌電力開發有限公司儀表和控制經理李祥林（音譯）表示：“艾默生及其Ovation技術的良好聲譽是影響我們決策的重要因素。我們尤為關注艾默生的控制系統和SCADA技術在全球水電機組中的應用經驗。”

Ovation technology will directly control primary plant equipment and processes, perform automatic voltage regulation, and manage information from the 24 spillways. Emerson will also supply its Rosemount pressure and level transmitters.

Ovation技術將用于直接控制主要的工廠設備和過程，進行自動電壓調節并管理來自24個溢洪道的信息。艾默生還將提供Rosemount壓力和液位變送器。

“For more than 20 years we’ve built upon our successful fossil-fuel foundation to develop automation strategies for alternative energy sources,” said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson Process Management’s Power & Water Solutions. “Our industry and automation specialists look forward to working with Sichuan Tuopai Power Development as they deliver the benefits of clean, efficient hydropower to the region.”

艾默生過程管理水電方案事業部總裁Bob Yeager表示：“20多年來，我們在成功助力化石燃料自動化的基礎上，為可替代能源開發自動化策略。我們的行業和自動化專家期待能夠與四川沱牌電力開發公司一起協作，讓該區域受益于清潔、有效的水力發電。”
