Phu My Thermal Power Complex — Ni-Cd Battery Renewal
11 years serving the Phu My power complex — contributing to its success to this day.
Battery renewal reference at the Phu My power complex, Power Generation Corporation 3 — from condition surveys to unit-by-unit replacement.

From survey to renewal.
One installed base, followed through its life — who did what, and when.
Original Alcad Ni-Cd banks surveyed three times.
EDPNEDPN load bank and charger for battery testing.
EDPNGT13, GT11 and ST14 banks renewed with Alcad Ni-Cd.
EDPNChloride CP70R 220 VDC.
EDPNCondition surveys of the original Alcad Ni-Cd banks, followed by unit-by-unit battery renewal at Phu My 1 and DC test equipment and charger supply.
EDPN surveyed the original Alcad Ni-Cd battery banks of Phu My 1 in 2013, 2014 and 2015, then renewed them unit by unit with Alcad Ni-Cd — GT13 (2017), GT11 (2018) and ST14 (2019) — with further Alcad supply, EDPN test equipment (2016) and a Chloride CP70R charger (2023).
What the site needed.
EDPN condition surveys in November 2013, October 2014 and March 2015 found the original Alcad Ni-Cd banks of the gas-turbine and steam-turbine units ageing, with corroded connectors and racks and cracked cell containers.
What EDPN delivered.
EDPN supplied replacement Alcad Ni-Cd blocks (2013) and EDPN test equipment for the plant — a load bank and an EDPN charger (2016). The original banks were then renewed unit by unit with Alcad Ni-Cd: GT13 (2017), GT11 (2018) and ST14 (2019), plus an additional Alcad Ni-Cd battery (2017). In 2023 EDPN supplied a Chloride CP70R 220 VDC charger.
Project history.
Condition survey of the original Alcad Ni-Cd banks (November 2013); Alcad Ni-Cd supplied and serviced.
Follow-up survey of the bank: corroded connectors and racks, cracked containers (October 2014).
Battery inspection and technical seminar with the plant engineers (March 2015).
EDPN load bank and EDPN charger for battery testing.
Renewed Alcad Ni-Cd bank (GT13) and an additional Alcad Ni-Cd battery supplied and serviced.

Alcad Ni-Cd supplied.
Chloride CP70R 220 VDC supplied and serviced.
What followed.
The ageing Ni-Cd banks found in the 2013–2015 surveys were renewed between 2017 and 2019; EDPN continues to support the plant.
