Doosan Successfully Upgrades Turbine at Eraring Power Station in Australia

• Increases Power Output from 660MW to 750 MW
• Project Constitutes First Case of Installing a Doosan Turbine in an Overseas Plant

On January 16, Doosan completed work to improve the performance of Turbine and Generator No 4, the first of the four Turbines and Generators at Eraring Power Station (660 MW X 4) in Australia, for which it is conducting a capacity and performance upgrade project.

The company succeeded in performance improvement work for the first of the four turbines at the plant. It was also the first case wherein Doosan installed a Doosan designed turbine at an overseas plant. The performance improvement project at the Eraring plant entails the upgrading of power output from 660 MW to 750 MW. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction produced and provided a high and intermediate-pressure turbine, which incorporates cutting-edge technology, and will complete the project in phases for the four turbines by 2011.

The Eraring Power Plant, which is located about 150 km northeast of Sydney in New South Wales, started operation in 1982. Doosan started the work to improve performance of the turbines at the Eraring plant in December 2007, and won another project to upgrade performance of boilers in January 2009. As a result, Doosan is conducting the performance improvement project at the plant in a package deal.

Following the completion of performance improvement work for the turbine this time, Doosan will also complete work to improve performance for the first of the boilers around June or July. A performance improvement project entails higher added-value than new power plant construction projects, and is considered by experts as a new profit model in the power facilities sector. By successfully completing the performance improvement project this time, Doosan has laid the foundation to expand its performance improvement projects for aging power plants in Australia, which have a combined output of 1,500 MW.
