Emerson Process Management  has received a contract to install its PlantWeb digital plant architecture with the Ovation expert control system in Units 1 and 2 of the new Vietnam Haiphong Power Plant.

Dongfang Electric, the project's EPC contractor, selected Emerson to automate the two 300-MW units, which comprise the first phase of the Haiphong project. Emerson's Power & Water Solutions industry centre will coordinate and supervise the project.

The plant, owned by Hai Phong Thermal Power Joint Stock, is located in the Thuy Nguyen District, Haiphong Province. When all four 300-MW coal-fired units are operational, the plant will be the largest coal-fired power generation facility in Vietnam, and will play a key role in meeting the increasing demand for power in North Vietnam, estimated to be growing at 15 percent annually primarily due to burgeoning economic development in the region.

Unit 1 is slated begin commercial operation June 2008, Unit 2 is expected to go into service six months later.
