Jan. 4
/PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. (Nasdaq: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in
China
, announced today that it has commenced shipping its proprietary large-scale industrial Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to the Guohua Taishan Power Plant for its 1000MW (1GW) ultra-supercritical thermal power generating units. This signifies
China's
first-ever deployment of domestic made large-scale DCS in lieu of imported systems for the ultra-supercritical thermal power stations in
China
.
1000MW-level (1GW) ultra-supercritical power generating units are currently
China's
largest thermal power units on single installed capacity. This was a follow-on contract win for Hollysys, subsequent to several successful DCS applications on 600MW thermal power station projects of Beijing Guohua Electric Power Investment Co., Ltd. Hollysys' proprietary industrial DCS systems are applied in the continuous manufacturing processes to provide real-time monitoring and control for the production flow and to ensure production reliability, efficiency and safety.
Dr.
Changli Wang
, CEO of Hollysys, commented, "We are very proud to be the first domestic manufacturer to deliver our proprietary designed and manufactured industrial DCS to
China's
GW-level ultra-supercritical thermal power station. This is a strong validation of Hollysys' cutting-edge technology and leading position in
China's
industrial automation and control field. Our DCS application in the Taishan ultra-supercritical power plant is a strategic reference project that lays a solid foundation for Hollysys to further penetrate the high-end industrial automation marketplace, which are still largely foreign-dominated. We attribute our current leading position in
China's
industrial automation market to our strong R&D capabilities and in-depth industry know-how. We will continue to leverage on our core competencies to increase our market share in
China's
industrial automation field across various vertical market segments."
