The digital I&C system, which was developed jointly by Mitsubishi Electric and its consortium partner China Techenergy, is installed in the first unit of the Fujian Ningde nuclear power plant, which has been built by China Guangdong Nuclear Power.
The system allows overall control and monitoring of the nuclear power plant for safe operation and efficient power generation.
In addition, the system features a main board for controlling plant operations, non-safety control cabinets, safety-protection cabinets and related software equipped in each cabinet.
In July 2007, China Guangdong Nuclear Power ordered for six digital I&C systems to install at its CPR1000-type nuclear power plants in Liaoning and Fujian.
China Guangdong owns seven of the country’s 16 operating nuclear power plants and 15 of 29 additional plants, which are currently under construction.
