On May 25th local time, the Jiatigide Hydropower Station project in Indonesia, constructed by China Power Construction, successfully passed performance tests and reliability operation tests, and officially entered commercial operation.
The Jiatigide Hydropower Station project is located in Shuangmudan County, West Java Province, Indonesia. The main project includes the construction of a diversion tunnel, a surge shaft, a power plant, and the procurement and installation of hydroelectric generators. The power station has an installed capacity of 110 megawatts and an annual power generation of 450 million kilowatt hours. After completion, it will play an important role in ensuring the power supply security of the Java power grid in Indonesia and increasing the proportion of clean and renewable energy.
To ensure timely production, the project team planned ahead and organized carefully, formulated a power generation plan in advance, repeatedly optimized the commissioning plan, overcame various adverse factors, and orderly promoted key tests such as short-circuit test, no-load characteristic test, excitation characteristic test, etc., providing a solid guarantee for the smooth passing of performance test and reliability operation test.
The Jiatigide Hydropower Station is a follow-up power generation project of the Jiatigide Dam project undertaken by China Power Construction Corporation. The Jatigde Dam is the second largest water conservancy project in Indonesia. The reservoir provides irrigation water for 90000 hectares of farmland downstream, while also providing comprehensive benefits such as flood control, power generation, water supply, tourism, and fisheries, directly benefiting over 4.8 million residents. On March 17, 2016, Indonesian President Joko Widodo inspected the site and found that the Shengtsen Jiatigode Dam project has become a model of economic and trade cooperation between China and Indonesia. The Jiatigide Hydropower Station has officially entered commercial operation, which will fully leverage the important role of the Jiatigide Dam in promoting economic development and improving people's livelihoods.
