Emerson to automate hydropower plant in China
艾默生为中国水电站提供自动化技术

Emerson Process Management is automating the Shehong Liushu Hydropower Project that will bring clean electrical power to China’s Sichuan province.

艾默生过程管理为射洪柳树水电站项目提供自动化技术，帮助中国四川省使用清洁电力。

Hydropower development, particularly small hydropower, has been gaining traction in China as a clean energy source that can supplement thermal power sources and electrify rural areas. This project by Tuopai Power Development Co. Ltd. consists of three 16-megawatt units to help meet the growing energy needs of the Shehong region in southwest Sichuan. The first unit is expected to be operational in March 2016.

水电开发，尤其是小型水电站，作为火力发电的补充用于满足乡镇区域的电力需求，已经成为推动中国清洁能源发展的引擎。该项目是沱牌电力开发有限公司开发，由三套16兆瓦机组组成，用于满足位于四川省西南部的射洪县日益增长的电力需求。首台机组预计于2016年三月开始运行。

Emerson will provide its Ovation control and SCADA technology to manage hydropower operations. Tuopai Power Development is among the first hydropower generators in China to adopt distributed control system technology that provides tighter overall control, enhanced diagnostics, improved plant efficiency, reliable grid synchronization, enhanced cybersecurity and more efficient operator deployment.

艾默生将提供Ovation控制系统和SCADA技术，用于管理水电运营。沱牌电力开发公司是中国众多首次采用分布式控制系统技术的水力发电公司之一，分布式控制系统技术可以为水力发电公司提供更严格的整体控制、优化诊断、提高工厂效率、实现可靠地电网同步、增强网络安全并且实现更高效的人员调度。

“The strong reputation of Emerson and its Ovation technology heavily influenced our decision,” said Li Xianglin, instrument and control manager for Sichuan Tuopai Power Development. “We were especially impressed with Emerson’s experience applying its control and SCADA technology to hydropower units around the world.”

四川沱牌电力开发有限公司仪表和控制经理李祥林（音译）表示：“艾默生及其Ovation技术的良好声誉是影响我们决策的重要因素。我们尤为关注艾默生的控制系统和SCADA技术在全球水电机组中的应用经验。”

Ovation technology will directly control primary plant equipment and processes, perform automatic voltage regulation, and manage information from the 24 spillways. Emerson will also supply its Rosemount pressure and level transmitters.

Ovation技术将用于直接控制主要的工厂设备和过程，进行自动电压调节并管理来自24个溢洪道的信息。艾默生还将提供Rosemount压力和液位变送器。

“For more than 20 years we’ve built upon our successful fossil-fuel foundation to develop automation strategies for alternative energy sources,” said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson Process Management’s Power & Water Solutions. “Our industry and automation specialists look forward to working with Sichuan Tuopai Power Development as they deliver the benefits of clean, efficient hydropower to the region.”

艾默生过程管理水电方案事业部总裁Bob Yeager表示：“20多年来，我们在成功助力化石燃料自动化的基础上，为可替代能源开发自动化策略。我们的行业和自动化专家期待能够与四川沱牌电力开发公司一起协作，让该区域受益于清洁、有效的水力发电。”
