Yokogawa Receives Control System Contract for India Power Plant

Yokogawa India has received a contract from Aravali Power Company (APCPL) to supply automation and control systems for the Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Plant Project in Haryana State, northern India. When completed, this thermal power plant will generate 1500 MW, making it the largest power station in Haryana State. The first of its three 500 MW units is planned to start operation in October 2010.

Yokogawa will be providing instrumentation systems for the boilers and other utilities for all three of the plant’s power generation units. These systems will include the CENTUM CS 3000 Distributed Control System, DPharp EJA/EJX Pressure/Differential Pressure Transmitters, and IR8A Infrared Gas Analyzers. As part of its full turnkey project solution, the company will also provide engineering, installation, and commissioning services. This contract is estimated to be worth $12 million.

This is Yokogawa’s sixth project for the NTPC Group, and it directly follows last year’s Barh Supercritical Coal-fired Power Plant Project. Yokogawa’s power plant automation experience, expertise, and engineering capability are very highly regarded by users.
