Just compare with the completed Mong Duong II steam turbine (Photo below), you can see that Hai Duong steam turbine is structurally completed with final touch-up.
Mong Duong II Steam turbine in Operation
Once the turbine is ready, the power plant will be fired up and the turbine is tested to stablise at 3000rpm. This is expected to be carried out in March 2020. This process signifies the complete installation of Unit 1 of the power plant.
Next, arrangement will be made with EVN for synchronisation with the national grid.
Finally, the 168 hours stress / reliability test will be carried out. Once satisfied with the test results, the commercial operation date (COD) is achieved !
I expect Unit 1 to achieve COD in May/June 2020.
