BEIJING, 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."
