Overview
Dalian ETDC power station is a 700 MW coal-fired plant in Dalian, China, operated by China Guodian Group Corporation. It is an operational facility contributing to the region's power generation capacity.
The Dalian ETDC power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. With a capacity of 700 MW, it is a medium-to-large scale facility within China's extensive coal power fleet. The plant is owned by China Guodian Group Corporation, one of the country's major state-owned power generation enterprises. As a coal power plant, the facility operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which regulate pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The plant likely uses subcritical or supercritical technology, common for coal units of this size in China. The regulatory framework includes the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan and the Ultra-Low Emission standards, which mandate stringent controls on coal-fired units. The Dalian ETDC power station plays a significant role in supplying electricity to the Dalian area, an important industrial and port city in northeastern China. Its operation supports local economic activities and grid stability. The plant's environmental impact is managed through compliance with national emission limits and the use of pollution control technologies such as flue gas desulfurization and selective catalytic reduction.
Environmental context
The Dalian ETDC power station's coal combustion generates CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local and regional air quality concerns. Dalian's coastal location may influence dispersion patterns. The plant's age and technology level affect its emission intensity; newer units with supercritical or ultra-supercritical technology are more efficient and less polluting. Proximity to populated areas necessitates stringent emission controls to minimize health impacts.
Frequently asked questions
The Dalian ETDC power station is located in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China, near the coast.
The Dalian ETDC power station has a capacity of 700 megawatts (MW), making it a medium-to-large coal-fired power plant.
The Dalian ETDC power station is owned by China Guodian Group Corporation, a major state-owned power generation company in China.
Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as the Ultra-Low Emission standards. These regulations require the installation of pollution control technologies like flue gas desulfurization and selective catalytic reduction.
Coal power plants in China with capacities around 700 MW often use subcritical or supercritical technology. Newer units may employ ultra-supercritical technology for higher efficiency and lower emissions.
