Annual Report and Financial Statements 2007
Power Projects
We are privileged to be working in what is probably the most exciting
time in 30 years for the global power business. The activity in the
market is unprecedented with capacity expansion and obsolete
equipment replacement plans underway in each of our target markets,
namely, Europe, the Americas and Southern Africa. We are uniquely
placed to compete in these markets with our very strong core
technology, excellent customer relations, a long history of global
operations, competitive pricing and the best people in the industry.
Doosan Babcock reached a milestone with its first major new build
order in Europe for decades. This is for two 800 MW state of the art
Posiflow TM ultra-supercritical coal fired units in Germany, incorporating
our best available technology and very high efficiency, and will provide
an excellent reference plant.
Good progress is being made at Trimble County Unit 2, Doosan
Babcock’s first large utility plant in the USA where we are designing and
supplying a 750 MW supercritical coal fired unit for LGE. Engineering is
moving into the close out phase and with pressure parts, from Doosan
Heavy, being delivered to site and steel fabrication nearly complete,
erection will begin in early 2008.
The major refurbishment of the Consumers Energy 800MW Campbell
Unit 3 was completed with successful testing. As one of the most
technically complicated repair and maintenance jobs of its kind, this
was testament to Doosan Babcock’s design excellence.

The USA plant upgrade market is extremely competitive, but our proven
commitment to our customers is driving our success here. For instance,
we have been awarded further projects with Alliant Energy at their
Edgewater and Columbia plants, and We Energies for design and
supply of a superheater at Pleasant Prairie Unit 2, following our
success on Unit 1.
Following establishment of Babcock Power Technologies in China in
2006 to focus on the local after-market services and plant upgrade
sector, considerable success was achieved in 2007.
Doosan Babcock signed significant contracts to work with China Light
& Power in Hong Kong to upgrade and reduce emission levels on their
Castle Peak boilers. Showcasing our expertise, this includes the EPC
of the Emissions Control Boiler Island project at Castle Peak B plant,
involving the supply of a BOFA and optimised Selective Catalytic
Reactor to achieve the emissions requirement.
We won plant upgrade contracts in mainland China for major Chinese
utility groups, including the Posiflow TM retrofit and boiler refurbishment
for Yaomeng Unit 2, a follow on from the successful Yaomeng
Unit 1 retrofit.
We received Provisional Acceptance Certificate on Unit 2 at Wangqu,
where we have also been awarded the contract to supply the SCR for
the two 600MW units at the plant.
