China's first domestic offshore platform gas turbine "Taihang 7" has been officially put into operation, with completely independent intellectual property rights.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Alejandro86 and Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 29, according to CCTV news, today (October 29) China's independently developed "Taihang 7" gas turbine successfully "ignited" the offshore oil and gas platform about 180km southeast of Shenzhen. This is the first gas turbine in China with completely independent intellectual property rights and officially put into use on the offshore oil and gas platform.

CTOnews.com noted that in 2016, the state proposed to "speed up the realization of independent R & D and manufacturing of aero-engines and gas turbines". At this point, China began to implement two major special decisions on "aero-engines and gas turbines". The Blue Book on the Development of New Power Systems also points out that the driving efficiency of scientific and technological innovation in power systems, such as large gas turbines, should be enhanced to support the construction of new power systems; in the field of clean, safe and efficient power generation technology and equipment, support the research and development of hydrogen (ammonia) gas turbine technology and large proportion hydrogen-mixed combustion technology of gas turbine units.

Taihang 7 series gas turbine, the main model of AVG gas turbine, is independently developed by China Aviation Generation Gas Turbine Co., Ltd., which has the characteristics of small size, fast start-up, convenient operation and maintenance, convenient centralized control, strong fuel adaptability and so on. It can be used in distributed energy, offshore platform, mechanical drive, backup power and other fields.
