Today, our country's first 550MW class F-grade gas turbine unit - the Huaneng Chongqing Tongnan gas turbine project Unit 1 has successfully completed 168 hours of full load operation, officially started power generation, marking a new breakthrough in China's application of large-capacity, efficient and clean energy equipment. The project is located in Tongnan District, Chongqing, with a total installed capacity of 110.024 MW and a combined cycle efficiency of 61.66%, making it the largest and most efficient F-grade heavy-duty gas turbine unit in China. Workers told reporters that the unit can operate in island mode during sudden power grid failures and quickly restore power supply. At the same time, each unit is equipped with 2 outgoing lines, so even if one line fails, stable full load power generation can still be achieved, significantly improving the reliability of power delivery and energy supply capability.
