April 13, 2012-- ABB announces to will be Laos Hong Sha pithead power plant construction projects to provide power plant automation control system core solution and apparatus for reliable operation, the new power plants to provide strong protection. China Power Engineering Company Limited is the project of electric power engineering general contractor ( EPC ), which is so far China Overseas Engineering General Contract of electric power enterprises in Southeast Asia area involved in the largest thermal power plant construction project.

ABB power systems business Asia and Chinese leader Liu Xingang said:" we are very pleased to be able to China's largest overseas electric power project builds one of projects provides support for export. Rely on the ABB in China, strong research and development, engineering and manufacturing capabilities, as well as the global resources and brand strength, we have become China power engineering contracting enterprises to the world is the preferred partner, support they continue to expand their business, to participate in the global major project construction."

According to the contract, ABB will provide Laos Hong Sha power plant automation and control to provide advanced distributed control system ( DCS ) SymphonyPlus, and is responsible for the entire control system design, engineering, training and commissioning work. ABB SymphonyPlus system to power plant within the scope of the field system and intelligent equipment integrated control and analysis of power plant operation, control function covers all the content, including: boiler combustion control, boiler furnace safety control, turbine control, water supply, electric control of steam turbine control. The application of SymphonyPlus system, the operator can one-stop simple and intuitive interface, the factory within the scope of all system control and data analysis, greatly increasing the plant 's visibility and maintenance ability. In addition, ABB also for the power plant to provide flame detection system and generator circuit breakers and other products.

SymphonyPlus ABB Symphony distributed control system of the new product family. Symphony system for power and water industries for the design, to help customers optimize plant performance, improve operational efficiency, while reducing the impact on the environment. As the world 's most widely used discrete control system, ABB Symphony system in the world has more than $5000000000 worth of equipment unit. To date, ABB in the global total of more than 6000 sets of operation of Symphony series, which has more than 4000 sets of applications in power and water industries.

In China, the ABB Symphony system is widely used in large power plant projects. In 2009, ABBSymphony system was successfully applied in Guangdong Meixian Dutch Garden in power plant project, to help power plant effective energy-saving emission reduction, to reduce annual sulfur dioxide emissions of 10000 tons, the total emissions by 90%, and was awarded" Asia in power project award".

Laos Hong Sha3X626MW Subcritical Units pithead power plant located in Laos Hong Shaxian County, generation dimensions 1880000 kilowatt, began construction in 2011, Thailand and Laos throughout history biggest cooperation projects. The project by the Thailand State Electricity Board ( EGAT ), Banpu Thailand and Laos government jointly build,2015put into power generation, most of the power through a 500000transmission line into the national grid in Thailand, the remaining power through the 115000transmission line into the national grid.

China Power Engineering Company Limited is a large international professional engineering company, for several consecutive years ranked the United States ENR magazine's top 225international contractors. The company can provide cover, financing, design, consulting, procurement, construction operation of the whole value chain of one-stop services, is mainly responsible for domestic and foreign power, hydropower, power transmission, clean energy and energy comprehensive utilization engineering, and environmental protection, municipal, construction, mining, transportation and plant construction and other types of industrial engineering general contracting.
