Up
to Unit No. 6 of Boryeong Thermal Power Plant,
of which construction was started in 1979
according to the government policy for the
development of de-sulphurized power resources
and diversification of energy, was completed
in 1994. Among them, is Unit No,3 which is
the first supercritical pressure standard
coal thermal power plant in the country.
Boryeong Thermal Power Plant is the largest
thermal power generation complex that occupies
approx. 7% of the capacity of the total domestic
facilities, since the combined cycle power
plant was also completed in August 2002. Ultra
supercritical pressure thermal power plants,
Units No. 7 and 8, of which thermal efficiency
is higher than the conventional standard thermal
power plants, were completed in 2008. The
improvement of efficiency is under planning
through performance restoration of the gas
turbine of the combined cycle power plant.
Boryeong Thermal Power Site Division
is an environmentally-friendly power generation
complex, where all power plants are equipped
with de-sulphurization and de-nitrification
facilities, and where fly ash and de-sulphurized
plaster, the by-products of power generation,
are recycled into cement and plasterboard.
And it is being reborn as an integrated
power generation complex equipped with renewable
energy facilities, together with the solar
photovoltaic power plant with a capacity
of 526kW, completed in 2008 on the office
building of the power plant, and small hydroelectric
power plant using a waterway to transport
the necessary water currently under construction,
in addition to the thermal power plant.
Boryeong Thermal Power Complex is our top
power plant, where the operational technology
is recognized as the world's best and has
been awarded with the world's top power
plant award in 1996, selected by Electric
Power International, a specialized magazine
for power technology in USA. This was accomplished
by securing high operational reliability
of our power plant through achieving the
grand record of a 3,000 day long term trouble
free operation with Unit No. 3, in 2007.
