英维斯为台湾电力公司的国圣核电厂提供升级

August 26, 2008 - Invensys Process Systems signed a multi-million dollar deal with state-owned Taiwan Power Company (TPC) to provide critical upgrades to the Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in northern Taiwan.

8月26日消息—英维斯过程系统与台湾电力公司签署了一份数百万美元的合同，为位于台湾东北部的国圣核电厂提供关键升级。

Under the terms of the contract, IPS will replace and upgrade obsolete analog-based recirculation water control systems with digital systems, allowing Kuosheng NPP to better handle plant transients and significantly improve plant availability. IPS will also provide modifications to operational training simulators to ensure process consistency with the upgrades.

根据合同条款，英维斯过程系统将更换和更新基于模拟的老式在循环水控制系统为数字系统，使得国圣核电厂可以更好地处理电涌以及极大改善工厂的供电能力。英维斯过程系统还将为运营培训模拟器提供修正，确保与升级工程保持过程的一致性。

"IPS services and solutions have demonstrated superior performance over incumbent, older systems, and are an important part of TPC's goal to improve plant availability and the delivery and quality of our energy products," said Mr. TS Liu, Instrumentation and Controls Manager at TPC Kuosheng. "We are pleased with the high level of local engineering support and services provided by IPS, and we look forward to working with them as we increase grid quality and reliability, improve competitiveness in Taiwan's deregulating utility market and reach our CO2 emission targets."

国圣核电厂仪表及控制系统经理刘先生表示：“英维斯过程系统的服务和解决方案已经证明了比目前使用的较老的系统拥有更好的性能，也是台湾电力公司的改善工厂供电能力以及我们电力产品质量的目标的重要部分。我们很高兴英维斯过程系统所提供的高水平本地施工支持及服务，我们也期待着与他们共同合作，因为我们需要加强电网的质量和可靠性，在台湾开放管制了的电力市场提高竞争力，以及实现我们的二氧化碳排放目标。”

IPS has been a significant supplier to the global nuclear industry for more than 50 years and is well staffed with local and international automation engineers familiar with nuclear applications. The company will be providing Kuosheng NPP with a suite of digital control automation solutions, including its IA Series system, FSIM and SIM4ME simulation software, as well as nuclear engineering, Verification and Validation (V/V) site installation and commissioning services.

英维斯过程系统在50多年来已经成为了全球核工业的一个重要供应商，而且拥有强大的本地和全球的熟悉核应用的自动化工程师。该公司将为国圣核电厂提供一套数字控制自动化解决方案，包括其IA Series系统、FSIM 以及 SIM4ME模拟软件，以及核工程、验证和确认(V/V)、现场安装以及调试服务。

Kuosheng NPP is the second nuclear power station of state-owned Taiwan Power Company, with its two plants each generating 985MW in electrical power. More than 30 percent of TPC's MW generation is controlled and monitored by IPS systems.

国圣核电厂是台湾电力公司的第二个核电厂，其两个电机组装机容量各为985MW。台湾电力公司发电容量的百分之三十多是由英维斯过程系统控制和监控。

"IPS is glad to be a trusted solutions partner of TPC in its nuclear power generation expansion and market improvement goals," said Mr. Jackson Chiu, General Manager for IPS, Taiwan. "With ever increasing crude, feedstock and operational costs, nuclear power generation will drive the next phase of energy affordability and availability to industries and households. Thus automating critical plant processes for better reliability and safety has never been more important."

英维斯过程系统台湾总经理Jackson Chiu先生表示：“英维斯过程系统很高兴能成为在台湾电力公司的核发电扩建和市场改进目标中成为受信任的解决方案合作伙伴。随着原油、原料和运营成本的日益上升，核能发电将推动下一个行业和家庭用户可负担和可用的能源阶段的到来。因此，实现更高可靠性和安全性的关键工厂流程的自动化从来没有如此重要。”
