Successfully lowering rotor of Unit 1 of Ialy Hydropower Extension work

At 9:10 a.m., 26 July 2024, Power Project Management Board 2; Joint venture of Lung Lo Construction Corporation, Truong Son Construction Corporation, Song Da Corporation, Vietnam Import-Export and Construction Joint Stock Corporation; LILAMA10 Joint Stock Company; Quang Trung Industrial Group; Ialy Hydropower Company; EVN Repair Service Center; Andritz Contractor supplying equipment has successfully lowered the Rotor of Unit 1 of the Ialy Hydropower Plant Expansion work into the installation location.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh - Deputy Director of Power Project Management Board 2, Director of the Executive Board of Ialy Hydropower Plant Expansion Project, said that the rotor of unit 1 of the expanded Ialy Hydropower Plant weighs more than 400 tons, with a diameter of 6276mm, height of 3098mm.

Before installing the rotor, the contractors installed the turbine, stator, and powerhouse crane. The generator rotor and stator have been tested for insulation and high voltage by current standards.

Successfully lowering the rotor of unit 1 of the expanded Ialy Hydropower Plant is an important milestone in moving forward with the plan to test and run the unit, to meet the target of generating power for unit 1 in November 2024 - Mr. Nguyen Duc Minh said.

Units installing Rotor of unit 1

The construction work of the expanded Ialy Hydropower Plant has been approved by the Prime Minister for investment policy in Decision No. 38/TTg-CN dated 10 January 2018.

When the expanded Ialy Hydropower work comes into operation, it will increase the ability to mobilize capacity for load in the Southern region, especially during peak hours; contributing to improving the working mode of the Power System (increasing power and peak power of the load chart, increasing flexibility in operation, increasing reliability and safety factor, etc.), thereby contributing to reducing production cost of the system; Maximally take advantage of the flow's capacity by limiting the amount of annual excess discharge, increasing the average annual power output value of about 233.20 million kWh/year.

The work also contributes to reducing annual fuel costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels,  reducing the work intensity and time of existing units, thereby extending the life of equipment and saving maintenance and repair costs.
