New Nuclear Power Plants In China To Be Fully Digital
26 January 2009


CONTROL ENGINEERING (BEIJING)-- The Fuqing and Fangjiashan nuclear power projects are located in Fuijan and Zhejiang provinces, respectively. China Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (CNPE) chose Invensys Process Systems (IPS) to develop and supply the fully digitized nuclear control rooms, equipped with the latest simulation technologies, critical control, and safety systems. IPS says it will provide an integrated technology platform for both safety and control systems, using its Triconex and Foxboro I/A Series products. The project also includes an advanced reactor protection system (RPS) using functional software and hardware diversity. Ulf Henriksson, chief executive officer of Invensys adds, “We are pleased to enter into this strategic relationship with China and to partner with CNPE to help increase China’s capacity for clean power generation. We are confident this long-term partnership will contribute to the timely deployment of the new digitized nuclear power plants in China."
