Good news came from the gas turbine market. Shanghai Electric won the bid for two small F-class gas turbine island units and long-term maintenance services for the Wanxiang Xiaoshan natural gas-fired power plant, as well as two large F-class heavy-duty gas turbine island units and furnace island units and long-term maintenance services for the Huaneng Tai'an project.

The owner of Wanxiang Xiaoshan project is Wanxiang Group Shunfa Hengneng Corporation. The project is equipped with Shanghai Electric AE64.3A small F gas turbine and supporting generator, which can supply electricity and heat for Xiaoshan Jiangnan Science and Technology City’s Innovation Center after completion, and it is estimated to save 220,000 tons of standard coal and 350,000 tons of carbon annually, which will greatly promote the local reduction of energy consumption and help achieve the “dual-carbon” goals.

The Huaneng Tai'an project is one of the first "14th Five-Year Plan" demonstration projects for heavy-duty gas-fired units in Shandong. Equipped with Shanghai Electric's AE94.3A F-class gas turbine and supporting combined-cycle equipment, with an efficiency increase of more than 60 percent, it reduces carbon emissions by 60 percent compared to ultra-clean coal-fired units of the same capacity. The unit features a median single-shaft arrangement with axial exhaust and a self-synchronizing clutch for fast and frequent peak shifts, and its special high-capacity vapor extraction technology supports large-capacity industrial vapor extraction.

As the only domestic supplier of heavy-duty gas turbines with mature full life-cycle supply and service capabilities, Shanghai Electric has long been committed to the independent development of gas turbine technology. With the support of national demonstration projects, it has tackled the "bottleneck" problem of localization of gas turbine hot component blanks to ensure domestic energy security. In the field of hydrogen blending technology for gas turbines, Shanghai Electric has accumulated rich experience in R&D and testing, and has made the first and only breakthrough in China in the field of hydrogen blending combustion for heavy-duty gas turbines. In the future, with independently developed technology, localized supply and service industry chain, Shanghai Electric is capable of providing all-round, one-stop and autonomous services during the whole life cycle.
