First self-developed 300 MW F-class heavy-duty gas turbine completes ignition test

China's domestically produced 300-megawatt F-class heavy-duty gas turbine completed its first ignition in Shanghai on Monday, marking a significant advancement in the country's gas turbine technology, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The 300 MW F-class heavy-duty gas turbine is the country's first domestically made heavy-duty gas turbine with the highest power and technology level. It is composed of five major systems and over 50,000 components, and its technical specifications are comparable to the international mainstream F-class heavy-duty gas turbines.

It will serve as an important force driving the development of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry.
