GE Vernova announced that Guangdong Huizhou Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant powered by two GE Vernova hydrogen-ready 9HA.01 combined-cycle power generation equipment achieved the successful commercial operation. The Chinese state-owned power utility Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd.’s CHP plant is expected to inject up to 1.34 gigawatts (GW) of electricity into the grid and steam for the industrial process of the chemical complex present in Huizhou, a city in southeast Guangdong Province, China, north of Hong Kong. GE Vernova’s gas turbines are expected to burn up to 10 percent by volume of hydrogen blended with natural gas within the next two years.
Although hydrogen supply in Guangdong Province is still highly dependent on the gray hydrogen production method, which is mainly based on the production of hydrogen from industrial byproducts and coal power, the national and provincial energy plans encourage the development of renewable energy for hydrogen production.
GE Vernova has over 120 units worldwide that have run fully or partially on hydrogen and accumulated over 8.5 million operating hours.
Guangdong Huizhou project marks the first localized 9HA.01 manufactured by General Harbin Electric Gas Turbine (Qinhuangdao) Co., Ltd. in China. This joint venture was formed in 2019 between GE and Harbin Electric as a joint effort to focus on heavy duty gas turbine localization, aiming to deliver more efficient and reliable support for China gas power plants, including those that operate on blends of natural gas and hydrogen. Harbin Electric also provided steam turbine, generator and balance-of-plant equipment for the power plant.
GE and Harbin Electric have been suppliers for Guangdong Energy Group (“GEG”) for many years. GEG selected two GE Vernova 9F.05 gas turbines for Xinhui Power Plant, which achieved the successful commercial operation in 2018. Additionally, GE Vernova is currently supporting the plant operator’s transition from coal-to-gas at its Dongguan Ningzhou power plant. GEG selected three GE Vernova 9HA.02 gas turbines and Harbin Electric’s steam turbines, generators and other auxiliary equipment for the Dongguan Ningzhou combined cycle power plant in Guangdong province, also in the Greater Bay Area.
