ReportBy Ir Leung Chun Sing
A technical visit to Lamma Power Station was organized by the Control, Automation & Instrumentation Division of HKIE on 7 th October 2017. 27 members attended the visit. Two experienced engineers from Lamma Power Station were invited to give an introduction to various power plant infrastructures, followed by a guided tour to several highlighting facilities, including the solar panel system, a gas-fired combined cycle turbine unit and the central control room.
In the beginning, the participants were taken to the visitor centre. With the use of 3D geographical models, they were presented with an overall view of Lamma Power Station, learning about the critical infrastructure of the power station, and the fleet of generating facilities of HK Electric, operating on different fuel types and renewables. To minimize the impact of electricity generation to the environment, various kinds of emissions control facilities such as flue gas desulphurization plants, low-NOx- burners and electrostaticprecipitators are installed to reduce specific content in the emission. Also, the operation principles of combined-cycle unit and conventional generation unit are explained and demonstrated with interactive
models. Then, the participants went on to a tour of the solar panel system with a generating capacity of 1MW. The system is composed of around 8,700 solar PV panels installed on the ground or rooftops of the Main Station Building.
After that, the group moved on to visit the turbine hall of a gas-fired combined cycle unit (335MW) – Lamma Unit L9. This generator unit is the first unit in Lamma Power Ststaion that runs on liquefied natural gas. The fuel is purchased from Australia and Qatar, and then transmitted to the station through a 92km submarine pipeline from a gas terminal in Shenzhen.

Lastly, the group visited one of the Central Control Rooms of Lamma Power Station, which is operating round-the- clock to monitor and control the operation of the generating units and auxiliary facilities with sophisticated computer systems. It works closely with System Control Centre to ensure safe, clean and reliable power supply for the customers.
