Toshiba Hydro Power (Hangzhou) (THPC) has won a major contract to supply two 667MVA hydroelectric generators to Datang Guanyinyang Hydro Power Development, a subsidiary of China Datang Corp.
The generators will be installed at the Guanyinyang Hydro Power Station in Yunnan Province.
THPC will supply the equipment in October 2014 while the plant is expected to start commercial operation in the middle of 2015.
The company said that the generating capacity of the Guanyinyang generators positions them in the largest class for single units of hydroelectric generators.
The generators for Guanyinyang are the first 600MVA class equipment that THPC has manufactured since the expansion, and the firms will integrate coils with a voltage of 20kV, the highest level for hydroelectric generators.
