Recently, the Pakistan Phase II TNPTL1X330 MW power station project designed by Zhongnan Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. successfully completed a 168-hour trial run, and the systems of the unit operated stably with excellent indicators. So far, the 1X330 MW coal-fired generating set of this project has been completed and handed over for production as scheduled, marking the formal commissioning of the unit for power generation.

During the trial operation, all parameters of the unit met the requirements of the design technical specifications. The input rate of thermal measuring points, instrument input and protection all reached 100%, and the input rate of electrical protection, automatic devices and main instruments was 100%. The indicators were excellent and met the design requirements. Commercial operation is required.

Thar Power Station Phase II TN Project

The project is located in Block II of Thar Coalfield, Mithi Town, southeastern Sindh Province, Pakistan, 350 kilometers away from Karachi and 30 kilometers away from the India-Pakistan border. It has the seventh largest coal mine in the world - the Thar Coal Mine. The coal mine mainly produces lignite, which has high volatile moisture and short coal-forming time. The project uses subcritical GE steam turbines, generators and circulating fluidized bed boilers, and uses local lignite in Thar as fuel to reduce dependence on imported energy and change Pakistan's dilemma of relying on imported oil and natural gas for thermal power generation.

Thar Power Station Phase II TN Project is a priority project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor under the Belt and Road Initiative. It is another fruitful result of Zhongnan Electric Power’s deep cultivation of China-Pakistan energy cooperation after the Pakistan TEL Phase I and TEL Power Plant Projects .

During the construction period, the design team of Zhongnan Electric Power Co., Ltd. withstood many pressures such as the epidemic situation and the construction period, and scientifically arranged the work progress. The 11 milestone nodes, including power receiving, factory reverse power transmission, steam turbine cover closure, boiler chemical cleaning, boiler ignition steam purge, steam turbine reversion, steam turbine grid connection for the first time, and 168 test, achieved the goal of high-quality completion of the unit as scheduled. Won the high affirmation of the owner.

The relevant person in charge of TN Power Plant said that the completion and commissioning of the project will improve the situation of insufficient support of the national power grid in Sindh Province, Pakistan, improve the power security level in Sindh Province, contribute to the high-quality development and construction of Sindh Province in Pakistan, alleviate the current power shortage in Pakistan, and adjust the power supply Energy structure and optimization of investment environment are of great significance.
