en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Tibet's first large-scale hydropower station—Huaneng Zangmu Hydropower Station—successfully passed project completion acceptance. The three 85 MW vertical-shaft Francis turbine-generator units independently developed by Harbin Electric Machinery Company for the station have delivered satisfactory results in this "high-altitude test" with excellent operational data after eleven years of rigorous testing under extreme conditions.
Taking on the Challenge of High-Altitude Environments
Zangmu Hydropower Station is a large-scale ultra-high-altitude hydropower station, equipped with six 85 MW hydropower units. The extreme high-altitude geographical environment and stringent operating conditions have posed unprecedented challenges to the insulation performance and material durability of large electromechanical equipment.
From the very beginning of the project, the Machinery Company made "high-altitude adaptability" a key focus of technological breakthroughs. The company's research team concentrated on special high-altitude conditions, conducted extensive comparative tests on insulation and anti-corona measures, and successfully established a systematic high-altitude insulation design system. At the same time, across the entire chain from material selection, component structure, to process manufacturing, they researched and implemented solutions tailored to the station, ensuring the units' long-term safe and stable operation from the source.
Eleven Years of Operation Witness "Harbin Electric Quality"
"Pursuing customer satisfaction, fulfilling customer pursuits"—this is not just a slogan, but a quality creed deeply ingrained in the bones of Harbin Electric people.
Eleven years of operational data serve as the most objective witness. Since the station was fully commissioned in 2015, the three units developed by the Machinery Company have maintained long-term safe and stable operation, with key indicators surpassing national standards, demonstrating exceptional reliability and durability in extreme high-altitude environments. Abundant green electricity flows through the power "sky road" across the snowy plateau, injecting strong momentum into Tibet's clean energy construction.
Harbin Electric Group always adheres to the quality concept of "Comply with regulations, do it right the first time, craft with ingenuity, and strive for excellence," and integrates it throughout the entire project lifecycle, providing long-term, round-the-clock technical support and operation and maintenance services for the station. With a professional spirit of rapid response and precise service, it has won high praise from China Huaneng Group and relevant parties in the Tibet Autonomous Region, truly establishing an industry benchmark for high-altitude hydropower services.
