Paladon Systems technology chosen for the 240 MW Jeju LNG Combined Cycle Power Plant
Comprising of 16 hydraulic spring-return linear actuators and 4 hydraulic power units, the systems will control the power plant’s steam turbines during start-up and shutdown operations, and protect them during any abnormal operating conditions. The hydraulic power units will be fitted with PLCs to allow every function of the systems to be seamlessly integrated into the power plant’s DCS. Due to the extremely critical nature of the application, each hydraulic power unit will be fitted with two PLCs for dual redundancy, triple redundancy pressure, temperature and level sensors, as well as employ a 2oo3 voting logic for the shutdown solenoid valves.
Sales Manager – Electro-Hydraulics, Kalam Mohammad, “The Jeju LNG power plant will be one of the least polluting in the world and we are delighted that our advanced turbine bypass technology has been selected to support this environmentally responsible project.”
To be operated by Korea Midland Power (KOMIPO), the Jeju LNG power plant will not emit pollutants like ultrafine dust and will minimise Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. According to KOMIPO President & CEO, Chung Chang-Kil, the power plant will, “…prepare a springboard for realisation of a carbon-free Jeju.”
