At 9:58 on January 19th, the No. 8 unit of the 2×1000MW expansion project of the fourth phase of  CHN ENERGY Changyuan Hanchuan, which was constructed by the SEPCOIII, successfully completed the 168-hour full-load trial operation and achieved the goal of power generation with high quality.

During the 168-hour full-load trial operation stage, the unit operated stably and reliably throughout the process. The average load rate remained consistently at 100%, and the input rates of electrical and thermal control protection as well as the automatic control system all reached 100%. All core economic and technical indicators met or exceeded the design standards, earning high recognition and unanimous praise from the owner, the supervisor, and the commissioning unit. It has further enhanced the company's high-quality brand and consolidated its industry reputation in the field of million-kilowatt unit construction.

During the construction period, the project team deeply implemented the concept of refined management and successively completed a series of key node tasks with high quality, including the reverse supply of plant power for the unit, the water pressure test of the boiler, the cover closure of the turbine, the pipe blowing of the unit, and the grid connection of the unit.

The 2×1000MW expansion project of  CHN ENERGY Changyuan in Hanchuan is located in Hanchuan City, Hubei Province. As a key energy project of Hubei Province during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, it is an important power source support point for the "West-to-East Power Transmission" and "North-to-South Power Transmission" of the Central China Power Grid. After its completion, it will further enhance the power source support on the "West-to-East Power Transmission" channel, optimize the regional power source structure, and promote the rapid development of the regional economy.
