On November 18th, the first domestically produced "Taihang 15" gas turbine of Weizhou Island Gas Turbine Power Station successfully passed the 72 hour continuous operation assessment, marking the first successful grid connection and power generation of the "Taihang 15" gas turbine on the island, which will effectively alleviate the electricity shortage on Weizhou Island.
The "Taihang 15" gas turbine is manufactured by China Aviation Engine Group and is the main engine of the generator set in the Weizhou Island gas turbine power station. The 72 hour continuous operation assessment has generated a total of 440000 kWh of electricity, with a maximum power carrying capacity of 9.5MW. In the future, China Aviation Engine will gradually put into operation one 15MW and one 12MW gas turbine unit, with an expected annual power generation of 350 million kWh.
The "Taihang 15" gas turbine is developed by improving advanced aviation engines, with a designed power of 15MW. It has completely independent intellectual property rights, compact structure, high thermal efficiency, and simple maintenance. It is suitable for various fuels such as fuel and natural gas, and has obvious advantages in comprehensive operating costs compared to other power generation methods. It can be used in industrial power generation and distributed energy fields, and has broad application prospects in markets such as ship power and pipeline boosting.
The residents of Weizhou Island mainly rely on offshore oil fields for power supply. But with the growth of population size and industrial transformation and upgrading, especially the rapid development of tourism in recent years, there is a serious gap in the power load of offshore oil fields. The Weizhou Island Gas Turbine Electromechanical Station project relies on the construction of a gas turbine testing and demonstration base in the field of ocean engineering. It is a key cooperation project between China Aero Engine Gas Turbine Co., Ltd. and CNOOC Zhanjiang Company, aimed at ensuring national energy security and promoting the development of the domestic gas turbine industry. It is an important demonstration project to promote the application of domestic oil and gas equipment. This project directly brings natural gas extracted from offshore oil and gas fields to the island, and combines the technological advantages of the "Taihang 15" gas turbine, which can use multiple fuels, to fully utilize the associated gas resources of offshore oil fields for power generation. It can effectively meet the electricity needs of residents' daily life, industrial production, tourism consumption, etc.
At present, AVIC has established a complete R&D and manufacturing industry chain for gas turbines, forming an independent and efficient system for gas turbine technology innovation, quality control, and operation management. It has developed six types of light gas turbines, namely "Taihang 1", "Taihang 2", "Taihang 7", "Taihang 15", "Taixing 16", and "Taihang 25", as well as a heavy-duty gas turbine, "Taihang 110", which can meet the application needs of various fields such as oil and gas platforms, mechanical drives, cogeneration, distributed energy, and peak shaving power stations, filling the domestic gap.
