Pakistan Jhang 1263 MW thermal power plant, operated by China Machinery Engineering Corp., achieved a significant milestone as its turbine generator was successfully connected to the power grid for the first time.
According to a report of China Economic Net, the unit was operating smoothly and all parameters were meeting the design requirements, thus setting a solid foundation for the next 168-hour reliability test run of the combined cycle section.
After achieving the Commercial Operation Date of the two gas turbines in August last year, the Jhang project has completed the installation and commissioning of the main and auxiliary systems for the combined cycle section.
The synchronization of the combined-cycle power generation unit with the power grid signifies that all equipment on site has been put into normal operation.
Last year, the government-owned company Punjab Thermal Power (Pvt) Ltd signed a contract with China Machinery Engineering Corp (CMEC) to operate two thermal power plants in Jhang district.
