IPS Signs Contract to Enhance Taiwan Power Company’s Nuclear Plant
In a recent announcement Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a technology, software and consulting firm, said that it has signed a U.S. multi-million dollar deal with state-owned Taiwan Power Company (TPC) to provide critical upgrades to the Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in northern Taiwan.
Under the terms of the contract, IPS will replace and upgrade obsolete analog-based recirculation water control systems with digital systems, allowing Kuosheng NPP to better handle plant transients and significantly improve plant availability. IPS will also provide modifications to operational training simulators to ensure process consistency with the upgrades.
The company will be providing Kuosheng NPP with a suite of digital control automation solutions, including its IA Series system, FSIM and SIM4ME simulation software, as well as nuclear engineering, Verification and Validation (V/V) site installation and commissioning services.
“We are pleased with the high level of local engineering support and services provided by IPS, and we look forward to working with them as we increase grid quality and reliability, improve competitiveness in Taiwan’s deregulating utility market and reach our CO2 emission targets,” said Mr. TS Liu, Instrumentation and Controls Manager at TPC Kuosheng.
Kuosheng NPP is the second nuclear power station of state-owned Taiwan Power Company, with its two plants each generating 985MW in electrical power. More than 30 percent of TPC’s MW generation is controlled and monitored by IPS systems.
