History

The construction of the power plant began in January 2002 and the commercial operation was expected to be started in March 2004. However, the project was completed ahead of schedule and the commissioning of the plant was done in December 2003. The project is the first independent power producer project in Taiwan.

Generation units

The power plant consists of multiple-shaft combined cycle unit with one steam turbine-generator, three gas turbine generators and three heat recovery steam generators, designed for natural gas firing. The gas turbine generators came from General Electric with F-class technology and was shipped in 2002. Each has 18-stage axial compressor and 3-stage turbine. It also features a cold-end drive and axial exhaust.

Function

The power plant is designed for intermediate load operation with daily startup and shutdown to sell power to match the power dispatch schedule of Taipower.[6] The whole generated electricity is sold to Taipower.[7]
