en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the auxiliary power system energization for the Huaneng Haimen Power Plant Units 5 & 6 expansion project was completed, marking a phased milestone for this key energy project in eastern Guangdong. The project's survey and design are undertaken by China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd.

Haimen Power Plant is located in Haimen Town, Chaoyang District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and is planned to house six million-kilowatt-class ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating units. Previously, Units 1 & 2 of Phase I were commissioned in 2009, and Units 3 & 4 in 2013. The two million-kilowatt ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating units in this expansion are being built simultaneously with high-efficiency supporting environmental protection facilities for desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal.Project Image

This auxiliary power system energization is a crucial node in the expansion project's construction. The successful energization of the auxiliary power system will provide a reliable power guarantee for subsequent equipment commissioning, subsystem trial runs, and the overall start-up of the units.

As an important component of the Huaneng East Guangdong 10-Gigawatt-level "Wind-Solar-Thermal-Storage Integrated" energy base, the completed expansion project is expected to add an annual power generation capacity of 9.5 billion kilowatt-hours. Once operational, the project will further meet the growing electricity demand in eastern Guangdong and even the southeastern Pearl River Delta region, playing a positive role in optimizing the regional energy structure and supporting high-quality economic development.

In recent years, Haimen Power Plant has continuously promoted the integrated development of traditional thermal power and new energy storage. Previously, the nation's first demonstration project coupling molten salt thermal storage with a million-kilowatt unit was put into operation at this plant, filling a technological gap in the China Southern Power Grid region for using electric-heating molten salt to assist coal power in peak shaving, frequency regulation, and heat supply assurance. As the expansion project steadily advances, the supporting role of Haimen Power Plant within the East Guangdong energy base will be further strengthened.
