Another heavy-duty gas turbine from Dongfang Electric has been successfully ignited
On April 29th, the No.1 gas turbine of the Huashan 2×75 MW gas-steam combined cycle cooling, heating, and power cogeneration project, supplied by Dongfang Electric Corporation, successfully achieved ignition and constant speed at one attempt, officially entering the hot commissioning phase. This lays a solid foundation for subsequent grid connection and commercial operation of the unit.
As a key project of the Thermoelectric Group under Jinan Energy Group, this project boasts advantages such as rapid start-up, high efficiency, low emissions, and excellent peak shaving performance. It is also a key livelihood project aimed at optimizing the regional energy structure and enhancing energy supply security. Upon completion, the project is expected to generate 620 million kWh of electricity annually. Once operational, it will deliver clean and warm energy to residents and provide flexible support to the power grid.
Dongfang Electric embarked on the path of independent research and development for the 50-megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine (G50) in 2009. In 2019, the G50 underwent a successful ignition test, marking the birth of China's first F-class 50-megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine. In March 2023, the G50 demonstration unit successfully passed its trial run at the natural gas distributed energy station in Huadian Qingyuan Overseas Chinese Industrial Park, officially becoming ready for commercial operation. In March 2024, the G50 demonstration unit passed the operational assessment at the distributed energy station in Deyang Economic Development Zone, Sichuan, once again verifying its mature commercial application capabilities. In October 2025, the mature G50 gas turbine was shipped to the Jinan Thermal Power Huashan project.
The intake system and gas turbine casing for this project are provided by Huaqiang New Energy as supporting components. The G50 is a domestically designed product by Dongfang Turbine Co., Ltd. During the design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning stages of the project, HQA organized a professional team to actively cooperate. With high-quality products and efficient response, we provide satisfactory services to customers and realize the value of industrial chain support.
