Emerson Awarded $7 Million Contract to Automate China's First Ultra-Supercritical Power Plant.AUSTIN, Texas -- Emerson's Ovation(R) Control System Part of Milestone 4,000-megawatt Project to Help Meet China's Increasing Demand For Power Emerson Process Management, a business of Emerson (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :EMR (ElectroMagnetic Radiation) The emanation of energy from everything in the universe. Although the EMR from electrical and electronic devices is typically measured for practical, every-day situations, every object, including humans, emanates energy. ), announced today that it has won a $7 million contract to automate To turn a set of manual steps into an operation that goes by itself. See automation. China's coal-fired Huaneng Yuhuan Power Plant as the country expands its generation capacity to meet the growing demand for power. Owned by Huaneng Power International Inc, the project will be China's first 1,000-megawatt-per-unit power plant, and the country's first to use ultra-supercritical technologies. Ultra-supercritical plants use new advanced clean coal technology that allows operation at elevated steam temperatures and pressures. Ultra-supercritical technologies are expected to become more prevalent in China because they can boost the efficiency of coal-based electricity generation by more than 50 percent, while maintaining superior environmental performance. China's power generation controls market is growing rapidly, currently estimated at $120 million annually. Emerson will engineer and install its Ovation(R) expert control system at the new four-unit, 4,000-megawatt (4x1,000 megawatt meg·a·watt n. Abbr. MW One million watts. meg  a·watt ) plant.
Emerson's Ovation was designed and built for the power generation
industry and has been proven in thousands of installations.
