A research proposal on the evaporative cooling technology of electric turbogenerators has recently received the green light from the National Key Technologies R&D Program.rnHeaded by the CAS Institute of Electrical Engineering (FEE), the research will involve two components. One is to decode the technical difficulties and produce a pilot machine of 300megawatt (MW) evaporative-cooled steam turbogenerator. The goals also include the draft and issue of a national industry standard on this kind of turbogenerators, as well as four new patent applications in this regard. Tn collaboration with IEE are five corporations and research bodies, i.e. China Power Investment Co., China Huadian Power International Co. Ltd., Shanghai Turbine Generator Co. Ltd., Shanghai Zhenfa Mechanical & Electrical Co. Ltd. and North China Electric Power University.
