List
GE Energy will design, manufacture and supply four 36-megawatt Kaplan turbines; four sets of governors; four 35-megawatt vertical generators; and four sets each of excitation excitation Addition of a discrete amount of energy to a system that changes it usually from a state of lowest energy (ground state) to one of higher energy (excited state). For example, in a hydrogen atom, an excitation energy of 10. systems and unit automation elements. The scope of the contract also includes a model test, site service, equipment transportation, training, spare parts Spare parts, also referred to as Service Parts is a term used to indicate extra parts available and in proximity to the mechanical item, such as a automobile, boat, engine, for which they might be used. Spare parts are also called “spares. and special tools. The turbine-generator sets and related parts will be shipped to the site between January 2005 and August 2007. Three of the units will begin commercial operation between June and December 2007, while the fourth unit will begin in March 2008. The equipment will be manufactured by GE Hydro Asia from its manufacturing facility in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. GEHA Geha German-Hardcopy AG (Garbsen, Germany; formerlyh Gebrüder Hartmann) GEHA Government Employees Hospital Association GEHA Georgia Environmental Health Association, Inc. was formed in 2003 when GE Energy acquired majority ownership of Kvaerner Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (Kvaerner Hangfa) of Hangzhou, one of the leading suppliers of hydropower generation equipment in China. The Xi Xia Yuan project represents the biggest equipment order for GEHA and its first contract with YRWHDC. "We are delighted that our technology has been selected to help China meet the country's growing need for power," said Li Shu-Ping, sales leader for GE Energy's hydropower division in China. Wuhan Stars Electric Company Limited and Electric Control Sub-Co., NARI NARI National Association of the Remodeling Industry NARI National Ageing Research Institute NARI NorAdrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor Group Corporation, are the recommended subcontractors that will install the governors and excitation systems, respectively. In the second project, GE Energy has a contract of US$3.33 million. Through its GE Hydro Asia unit, the company will provide two 33-megawatt, 234-meter head Francis hydro turbines, generators, spare parts, special tools and site technical services to Fujian Jinzaoqiao Hydropower Company, Ltd. for the Jinzaoqiao hydropower station, to be built on the Jinzao River in Fujian Province, China. Scheduled to enter service in 2006, the new hydro plant will produce nearly 70 megawatts of electricity for the regional grid to help meet China's growing power Growing Power is an urban agriculture organization headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It runs the last functional farm within the Milwaukee city limits and also organizes activities in Chicago. requirements. Shipments of the GE-supplied equipment for the project will begin in late 2004 and will be completed by early 2006. The first GE hydro turbine-generator is scheduled to enter commercial operation in April 2006 and the second unit in June 2006. "Developing hydropower stations such as Fujian Jinzaoqiao is a significant part of China's sustainable energy
Sustainable energy sources are energy sources which are not expected to be depleted in a timeframe relevant to the human race, and which initiative," said Li Shu-Ping.
