Project
Challenges
Tarong Coal Fired Power Station features 4 x 350 MW Hitachi Generator Sets and 1 x 443MW Toshiba Generator Set at Tarong North with a supercritical boiler commissioned in 2003. The steam reaches a temperature of 541°C and a pressure of 17.6 megapascals (MPa). The coal mine is 1.5 kilometres away, and feed coal via a conveyor belt some 7.6 Million tonnes per annum.
