Witness the thermal power plant with the most modern technology in Vietnam
(Baohatinh.vn) - Vung Ang 2 Thermal Power Plant Project (Vung Ang Economic Zone - Ha Tinh) is considered the largest and most modern thermal power plant in Vietnam today.
Báo Hà Tĩnh•12/06/2025
Construction started in November 2021. Up to now, the Vung Ang 2 Thermal Power Plant Project has reached 99.3% of the total progress. The machinery systems have been fully installed and put into trial operation. The Vung Ang 2 Thermal Power Plant Project uses "ultra supercritical" boiler technology (USC) - considered the largest modern technology application in Vietnam today. Using this technology will reduce fuel consumption, reduce CO2 emissions and reduce the capacity of auxiliary equipment (such as pumps, fans, etc.) per MW of electricity generated.
At the Central Control Room - the "heart" of Vung Ang 2 Thermal Power Plant, there are about 50 Vietnamese and Indian engineers divided into 3 shifts checking the parameters of Unit 1 after a successful test run.
Mr. Danishur Rahman - Central Control Room engineer said: " I have been working at Vung Ang 2 Thermal Power Plant project for more than a year now. After the trial operation, all engineers in the control room focused on monitoring the operating parameters of Unit 1. Thereby, drawing practical experience to complete and operate Unit 2...".
Up to now, at the factory construction site, there are still about 1,000 workers of contractors directly working to review items after the trial operation of unit 1. Mr. Thai Hoang Hai - Safety Department officer, Doosan Heavy Industry and Construction Co., Ltd. said: "Doosan is the general contractor of VAPCO. During the construction process, the project has had 22 million safe working hours. Closer to the official operation of the project, we are tightening labor safety, ensuring all the best conditions for the project to operate smoothly, on schedule...".
The power grid system is ready for operation and connection to the commercial grid.
Modern wharf system with total length of 2,000m.
With specialized, modern equipment, it will create advantages for the project when it goes into commercial operation.
All items are checked very carefully to minimize errors and operate smoothly from all stages. The coal storage facility is built on a large scale, ensuring the storage of clean coal imported from Australia and Indonesia for the upcoming official operation.
.
With the advantages of high efficiency, reduced fuel consumption leading to emission reduction, USC technology is considered a clean coal technology and has long been the choice in developed countries such as Japan, EU, USA and even developing countries such as China and India.
It can be said that high-efficiency power generation technologies, including "ultra-supercritical" (SC) and USC technologies, are inevitable development trends in the current context. With modern technology using USC, we are confident that Vung Ang 2 Thermal Power Plant will be able to promote its power production capacity as well as achieve the goals of reducing CO2 emissions... We will accelerate activities to put commercial operations into operation as soon as possible...
