Timeline and Contract

The project’s timeline has several noteworthy milestones:

• Boiler firing at Nhon Trach 3 is expected to be completed by January 2025.
• To ensure commercial electricity output, a power purchase agreement was signed with EVN EPTC on October 4, 2024.
• The gas supply contract with PV GAS is also nearing completion to ensure a stable gas supply.
• The project connects to the national grid via a 500 kV line.

Technology and Efficiency

The Nhon Trach Power Plant will use advanced gas turbine technology from General Electric (GE), notable for the highest efficiency at present. This technology not only helps optimize efficiency but is also a strategic move to enhance the competitive ability of the regional power grid.

Strategic Role

This power plant plays a significant strategic role in supplementing a stable energy source, reducing dependence on traditional energy sources such as hydropower and coal-fired power. The project also promises significant economic and social benefits, boosting industrial development in Dong Nai and the Southeast region.

Challenges and Future Orientation

The biggest challenge of the project is arranging funding and operational management. Additionally, the project’s PPA contract creates an important framework, serving as a negotiation basis for other LNG projects according to Power Development Plan VIII in the future.

The success of the Nhon Trach Power Plant is not only the energy sector’s success but also a testament to technological adaptability and progress amidst Vietnam’s major energy transition.

Electrical and Transmission Systems at Nhon Trach Industrial Area

The power evacuation system of the power plant is invested and built by the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) with the 220kV Nhon Trach 3 – My Xuan – Cat Lai line. The transmission power project management unit (NPTPMB) oversees the construction of this system and ensures construction progress at all critical times, aiding timely power evacuation for the Nhon Trach power plant.

The power system at Nhon Trach Industrial Area holds a key role in stabilizing production and business in Dong Nai. Electricity supply and management activities are indispensable factors to support sustainable development for industrial zones in this region.

• Power Supply: Thanks to connection with the national grid through Nhon Trach substations like Tuy Ha 110/22kV Substation and Nhon Trach V 110/22kV Substation, ensures stable voltage supply for the entire area. These substations hold strategic significance in the transmission system, helping ensure Nhon Trach’s electrical capacity always meets standards.

• Operational Management: IDICO – UDICO company manages the two main substations with a total capacity of 418 MVA, ensuring that the operation of the system is maintained continuously and safely.

• Power Supply for Industrial Zones: Nhon Trach 1 Industrial Zone receives electricity from Tuy Ha 110/22kV Substation, with a capacity reaching 182 MVA, connected from Nhon Trach 220kV Substation to Long Binh, ensuring continuity and reliability of the power supply for businesses.

Transmission and Infrastructure

• Electrical Infrastructure: Using modern insulated cables to minimize faults and maintain system safety, network devices are always maintained and tested regularly.

• New Energy Source: Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Area is developing Nhon Trach solar power, implementing rooftop solar energy solutions for businesses with participation from specialized companies like Xenon Solar Light.

Integration Capability

• Through integration with the national grid, the power system at Nhon Trach Industrial Area not only ensures stability but also meets the large production demands of local businesses. Optimizing Nhon Trach’s power grid is a testament to the synchronized and sustainable development of the industrial area.

Equipment and Technology in the Nhon Trach Project

The main equipment of the project includes gas/steam turbines and generators provided by General Electric. Moreover, DCS control system is installed in sync with the units, optimizing operational efficiency as well as quality and safety control of the electricity production process.

The Nhon Trach project is a prime example of applying modern technology in the construction and energy sectors in Vietnam, especially the Nhon Trach power plant. The central focus of the project includes a large-scale mixed-use urban area and a power plant using EPC technology to optimize all processes from design to operation.

Nhon Trach Mixed-use Development Project

The Nhon Trach mixed-use development project (XDHN) comprises three main phases over a total area of 150.65 ha with 25 high-rise apartment blocks and 8 condominium blocks. Although specific construction equipment details are not specifically disclosed, the application of modern construction technologies in the project is expected to ensure the highest quality and construction progress.

Nhon Trach 3&4 Power Plant

The Nhon Trach 3&4 Power Plant, with a powerful capacity of up to 1,500 MW, is expected to contribute approximately 9 billion kWh of electricity a year. Located in Phuoc Khanh Commune, Nhon Trach District, Dong Nai Province, this plant is being constructed under the EPC contract model. As of July 2024, the project has achieved 91.6% of the work volume, demonstrating considerable progress in deployment.

The core systems in the plant, such as the DCS (Distributed Control System), help optimize operation and ensure safety and quality control. Gas turbines and power generation equipment are vital components playing a decisive role in enhancing the plant’s operational efficiency.

Technological advancements and modern equipment, especially from leading brands, are strongly supporting the implementation of this project. Utilizing a DCS control system synchronized with units not only optimizes operational efficiency but also ensures superior quality.
