Emerson Installs Controls At Korean Plants
Emerson Process Management has been selected by Korea Southern East Power Company (KOSEP) to install its Ovation expert control system at two power generation facilities in Korea. The projects are part of KOSEP's long-term electric-power development programme, designed to support increased power demand in Korea. For the first project, Emerson is modernising the controls at the MuJu PSPP, located in MuJu-Gun, Jeonlabuk-Do, south of Seoul, Korea.
Emerson is responsible for engineering, procurement, installation, testing and commissioning of the Ovation system, which will perform data acquisition, as well as monitoring and control of the electrical control system, hydro-turbine governor and balance of plant processes. The contract also includes partial discharge monitoring for high-voltage motors and generators. Emerson is supplying eight workstations and seven controllers for the MuJu plant. The Ovation system will monitor and control a total of 4,541 I/O points at the hydro-electric facility. Emerson is also remodelling the facility's control room, which as well as controlling operations at MuJu, will also be used to remotely monitor and control operations at the Yecheon facility.
For the second project, Emerson will install its Ovation system at the two-unit Yecheon PSPP in Yecheon Kun Kyungsangbukdo, south east of Seoul in the Yecheon resort area. The 800MW plant (two units of 400MW) will play a role in stabilising grid operation at peak times. At Yecheon PSPP, the Ovation system, which will monitor and control a total of 3,720 I/O points, will be responsible for data acquisition, as well as monitoring and controlling the electrical control system and balance of plant processes. Emerson will also provide partial discharge monitoring for high-voltage motors and generators, and Web closed-caption TV. Under the contract, Emerson will provide a total of eight workstations and six controllers.
