Overview

Zhangdian power station is a 190 MW coal-fired plant in Shandong, China, operated by Shandong Tianyuan Thermoelectricity. It supplies power to the regional grid.

Zhangdian power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in Shandong Province, China, with a capacity of 190 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Shandong Tianyuan Thermoelectricity and is currently in operational status. As a coal power plant, it contributes to the energy mix of the region, which is heavily reliant on coal for electricity generation. The plant operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which include limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. The 190 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale range for coal plants in China. Zhangdian power station plays a role in meeting local electricity demand in Shandong, a province with significant industrial activity. The plant's environmental impact is managed through regulatory compliance, and its operation supports grid stability in the region. The facility's location in eastern China places it in an area with high energy consumption and ongoing efforts to balance coal use with cleaner energy sources.

Environmental context

The plant's coal fuel source results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, typical for coal power generation. Its location in Shandong, a densely populated and industrialized province, means emissions may affect local air quality. The 190 MW capacity suggests moderate emissions compared to larger plants. Regulatory frameworks such as China's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law set emission limits, and the plant likely employs pollution control technologies like electrostatic precipitators and flue gas desulfurization to meet standards.

Frequently asked questions

Zhangdian power station is located in Shandong Province, China, at coordinates 36.793800 N, 118.093900 E.

Zhangdian power station has a capacity of 190 megawatts (MW), making it a small-to-medium scale coal power plant.

Zhangdian power station is owned and operated by Shandong Tianyuan Thermoelectricity.

Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards for air pollutants, including limits on sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, as well as carbon emission reduction targets under the country's climate goals.

Chinese coal power plants commonly use subcritical, supercritical, or ultra-supercritical technology. Older plants like Zhangdian may use subcritical technology, while newer plants adopt more efficient supercritical or ultra-supercritical designs to reduce emissions and fuel consumption.
