--- In
recent days, a Chinese delegation composed of Ms. Cheng
Xialei, Deputy Director of HRC, Mr. Xu Jincai, Chief of
the New-Tech R&D Center of HRC, and some other experts
with the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Water Resources,
paid a visit to Canadian partner Powerbase Automation System
Inc., for discussing further cooperation on Automatic Control
System for SHP.
The kind cooperation between HRC
and Powerbase dates back to 1996, when the advanced technology
on the Unmanned Control System for SHP was introduced from
Powerbase, as the implementation of one of the "948"
projects consigned by the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources.
The system was mainly developed for the hydropower stations
connected to power grids. Being demonstrated, studied and
indigenized, the technology has been applied and popularized
in dozens of SHP stations nationwide with fruitful results.
Moreover, with joint efforts, an upgraded simple automatic
control system for the isolated SHP stations is developed
successfully, with competitive advantages both in function
and price.
In order to further improve the
SHP automation in China, in this year, HRC and the Zhejiang
Provincial Department of Water Resources apply together
for carrying out the "948" project entrusted by
the Ministry of Water Resource, which plans to introduce
the simple automatic control system from Canada, and demonstrate
in Jinhua, Zhejiang province. It is expected that the pilot
project will be installed and commissioned in the end of
this year and put into operation earlier next year. (2003-07-30)
