Yokogawa has announced that it has received an order to supply turbine control systems for thermal power plant No. 4, the largest thermal power plant in Mongolia. This 2,1 billion yen project is being undertaken to improve the efficiency of this facility’s operations.
For six of the plant’s turbines, obsolete mechanical speed governors will be converted to electronic governors, and control systems and instrumentation will be replaced. In addition to supplying the Centum VP integrated production control system for the control and monitoring of the turbine governors and auxiliary facilities, Yokogawa will provide field devices such as DPharp EJA series pressure transmitters, FLXA21/FLXA202 liquid analysers, control valves and safety valves. Yokogawa will also have full responsibility for the implementation of this renovation project, starting with the survey of existing facilities and proceeding through to the detailed design, delivery, and installation of instruments, related erection work, commissioning, and staff training. This first of the renovated turbines is scheduled to be returned to service in June 2017.
