The test of the turbine hydraulic model plays a very important role in evaluating the basic parameters and deciding on the investment efficiency of the project. This was carried out by Andritz Hydro GmbH Corporation under the witness of EVN at Andritz Hydro's Hydraulic Technology Laboratory in Linz (Austria).

IEHPP with a total investment of nearly VND 6,389 billion is invested by EVN and the Power Project Management Board No. 2 is assigned to manage the project investment. The project includes more than 60 bidding packages, in which the turbine model test is in package No. 40 (TB-01) - the largest equipment supply package of the project.
IEHPP includes 2 units with a total capacity of 360MW. The project commenced in June 2021 and is expected to generate power for Unit No. 1 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Once completed, the project will increase the capacity of mobilizing power capacity for the national grid, especially during peak hours. IEHPP will also increase the average annual power generation output by about 233.2 million kWh, contributing to reducing annual fuel costs and CO2 emissions into the environment.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of Russian-Ukrainian political conflict, leading to high prices of materials worldwide, affecting the contract schedule. However, Andritz Hydro's side made an effort to test the turbine hydraulic model earlier than the contract schedule to implement the fabrication and promptly supply equipment for the project. This is a group specializing in providing the world's leading technology and equipment, from Europe with more than 180 years of designing, manufacturing, supplying technology and equipment for hydroelectric power plants in the world. Andritz Hydro has been strongly participating in the Vietnamese market in general and EVN's projects in particular, such as renovation and upgrading projects at many plants such as Hoa Binh, Sesan 4, Ban Chat, Ialy, Tuyen Quang power plants. In addition, Andritz Hydro is also actively introducing and sharing technologies in the field of operation and maintenance, and digital transformation in the field of power plants.
