Hitachi delivered a new-generation integrated monitoring and control system to Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company's Waigaoqiao Power Station in Shanghai, China. Built around the HIACS-5000M (Hitachi Integrated Autonomic Control System-5000M), the system not only provides a powerful supervisory, operation, and control system for power plant equipment, it also supports enhanced plant operating efficiency and power plant management operations. Enhanced reliability and maintainability go without saying, but the system also introduces significantly more advanced capabilities for manipulating information that supports improved plant operation efficiency and better management capabilities for dealing with the liberalization of electric power transactions and sales. This power plant is a 900-MW large-capacity coal-fired supercritical plant, and is intended to serve as a model for future thermal power plant construction in China.
