Intergraph(R) SmartPlant(R) Enterprise Key to development and operation of one of the world's largest coal-fired power plants
Enterprise engineering software provides intelligent 3D design, integrity assessment and installation planning
Huntsville, Alabama (BUSINESS WIRE) - Intergraph SmartPlant Enterprise engineering solutions have proven instrumental in the design and successful operation of one of the world's largest, multi-billion dollar coal-fired power generation plants.
The Yuhuan Power Plant, designed by the East China Electric Power Design Institute (ECEPDI), is a 4X1000 Megawatt power plant which began generation in 2008, and is capable of supplying power to two million people every day.
Costing in excess of $2.1 billion of the project investment, ECEPDI utilized SmartPlant Enterprise solutions to design the steam and water equipment, piping and piping support for the plant.
Zhao Hu, Vice Director, ECEPDI, said, "When we commissioned the Yuhuan Plant, we required a software solution that provides an integrated approach to design and plant information, rather than an engineering tool problem."
"We have been working with Intergraph for many years on a number of projects, and in the case of the Yuhuan Plant, we have found SmartPlant Enterprise solutions crucial to the successful development and operation of the plant."
In the development phase of this massive plant, SmartPlant was used to design the layout of the thermodynamic system. The plant also represents ECEPDI's transition from traditional CAD platform design to the intelligent P&ID platform.
SmartPlant Enterprise solutions were used to undertake detailed modelling of the main plant's structure, internal equipment, plant piping, and cable tray layout. More than 1,000 construction detail drawings were completed using SmartPlant Enterprise solutions.
ECEPDI utilised SmartPlant for the majority of design verification, which has capability to provide an extensive visualisation environment for interactively reviewing large, complex 3D design models. It provided designers with an automatic assessment of the plant's design integrity, and even extended to planning the sequence of delivery and the layout of onsite installation and equipment during the construction phase.
Intergraph President, Process Power and Marine, Gerhard Sallinger, said, "The success of the Yuhuan Plant is testament to the capabilities of Intergraph plant design and management solutions.
"With accelerated construction programs arising out of the enormous growth of the Chinese power market, ECEPDI's use of Intergraph's software products on such a large scale provides a benchmark for the power generation industry in China, and potentially the world."
"The use of Intergraph's software promises to provide the engineering basis for China's plans to design and build hundreds of nuclear, gas and coal-fired electric power plants to meet the rising power demands of the country's continuing economic boom."
"Intergraph is proud of its association with ECEPDI, and proud of the success of its software offering at the Yuhuan Power Plant, and we look forward leading the way in software for the global power generation market."
