The first domestically-produced HA-class heavy-duty gas turbine was successfully assembled and rolled off the assembly line in Harbin, capital of China's northernmost Heilongjiang province, on Feb 14.
 
HA-class heavy-duty gas turbine has a power generation capacity of 436 MW and a combined cycle power generation efficiency of over 63 percent.
 
It features a large output, high efficiency, low emissions, and small carbon footprint, greatly reducing construction costs.
 
The country's first gas turbine was developed and produced by Harbin Turbine Company Limited, and will be used in the Dayawan project in Huizhou, South China's Guangdong province.
   
The project plans to build two 600MW gas-steam combined cycle units, which will be the first to adopt HA-class heavy-duty gas turbine units burning natural gas-hydrogen mixed fuel in China.
 
A series of new technologies, new processes and new materials will be adopted to improve the unit technology and environmental protection indicators of the project and its comprehensive utilization efficiency.
 
In March last year, Harbin Turbine Company Limited and Harbin Electric General Gas Turbine (Qinhuangdao) Co formally signed a gas turbine main engine supply contract.
 
Harbin Turbine Company Limited is responsible for the supply and on-site technical services of two gas turbines, two gas turbine generators, two steam turbines, two steam turbine generators and related auxiliary equipment for the project.
