Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd., a provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, announced that its nuclear joint venture, China Techenergy Co., Ltd. (CTEC), established with China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding Co., Ltd (CGNPC), has successfully completed its research and development phase of its proprietary nuclear island automation and control system.
The official announcement was made on a press conference held last week in Beijing, attended by Mr. Baoquan Zhang, Deputy Director of National Development and Reform Commission and Director of National Energy Administration, Mr. Zhimin Qian, Deputy Director of National Energy Administration, and Mr. Zhongwen Gou, Vice Mayor of Beijing. CTEC signed the contract to provide its proprietary nuclear island automation and control system to Shidaowan Nuclear Station in Shandong Province, built on China's domestic 4th Generation nuclear reactor technology on the press conference.
CTEC has been providing automation and control solution to 10 nuclear reactors of Hongyanhe, Yangjiang and Ningde Nuclear Power Stations, based on Hollysys' proprietary HOLLiAS-N DSC for conventional island, and foreign imported automation and control system for nuclear island. The successful completion of developing its proprietary nuclear island automation and control system marks a breakthrough of China's domestic nuclear automation and control technology. CTEC's proprietary nuclear automation and control system can be applied to various generations of nuclear reactor technology, including CPR-1000, AP1000, EPR, HTR and FBR. The first commercial utilization of CTEC's proprietary nuclear island automation and control system is planned for the 5th and 6th reactors of Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station.
Mr. Yu He, Chairman of CGNPC stated, "CTEC's proprietary nuclear island automation and control system meets or surpasses all the functional matrix compared with foreign systems, which enables China to have domestic nuclear automation and control technology going forward. " Dr. Changli Wang, Chairman & CEO of Hollysys, commented, "The successful completion of CTEC's proprietary nuclear island automation and control system development is another testament of its leading position in China's nuclear automation and control field. Hollysys Automation Technology, together with CTEC, will capture our leading market share in China's burgeoning nuclear build-out."
