China's domestically produced 300-megawatt F-class heavy-duty gas turbine successfully completed its ignition test in Shanghai on Monday, marking a significant advancement in the nation's gas turbine technology.

Known as the "crown jewel" of the equipment manufacturing industry, the heavy-duty gas turbine can operate for a long time in environments of high temperature, high stress and high corrosion, making it the core equipment for power plants.

This 300-megawatt F-class heavy-duty gas turbine consists of five major systems and over 50,000 components and is the first domestically developed heavy gas turbine in China with the highest power output and technical grade. It will serve as an important force driving the development of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry.

Developed by the China United Heavy Gas Turbine Technology, this gas turbine's technical specifications are competitive with leading international F-class heavy-duty gas turbines, showcasing China's growing capabilities in the energy sector.

Its successful ignition marks the transition into the comprehensive testing and validation phase, laying a solid foundation for future operational evaluations and performance assessments.
