The rotor, a critical rotating component of the generator weighing approximately 585 tonnes, was installed with precise coordination among construction, supervision, and electromechanical teams. EVN described the process as a vital step in the turbine-generator assembly sequence, requiring meticulous synchronization to ensure operational success.
“This is a pivotal step in the sequence of turbine-generator assembly procedures, requiring synchronised and precise coordination amongst construction, supervision, and electromechanical installation units,” an EVN spokesperson stated.
The successful installation paves the way for further electromechanical work, testing, and commissioning of Unit No. 1. These steps are essential to enable the unit to generate electricity, contributing to the expansion project’s objective of increasing the plant’s power output.
Located in Hoa Binh province, the hydropower plant expansion aims to bolster Vietnam’s energy infrastructure by upgrading existing facilities. The project supports the country’s commitment to sustainable energy development, ensuring a reliable supply to meet growing demand.
EVN’s progress on the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion reflects its dedication to advancing renewable energy solutions. The installation of the rotor for Unit No. 1 is a key achievement in the project’s timeline, setting the stage for subsequent phases that will enhance the plant’s capacity and efficiency.
The expansion is expected to strengthen Vietnam’s energy grid, supporting industrial and residential needs while promoting environmentally friendly power generation. EVN continues to prioritize precision and collaboration in its efforts to complete the project, ensuring long-term benefits for the region’s energy landscape.
