Project Background

The Mexico Manzanillo III Combined Cycle Power Project is a power generation project located in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. Combined cycle power plants integrate gas turbine and steam turbine technology to generate electricity, with the steam cycle recovering heat from the gas turbine exhaust to improve overall power generation efficiency.

Harbin Electric International Company Limited (HEI) serves as the EPC contractor for the project, bringing its power generation engineering and international project execution capabilities to the development.

Anhui Tiankang Group was selected as a control cable supplier, providing shielded twisted-pair and multipair control cables for the plant's control systems and instrumentation signal transmission.

The supplied cables included multiple pair configurations, conductor sizes, and voltage ratings to accommodate different control and instrumentation circuit requirements.

Project Challenges

Control System Signal Integrity

Combined cycle power plants require reliable signal transmission between field instruments, control systems, and distributed control systems (DCS). Shielded control cables help reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference from generators, motors, power cables, and other electrical equipment.

Multiple Pair Configurations

The project required control cables in several pair configurations, including 1-pair, 2-pair, 4-pair, and 8-pair designs. This range accommodated different instrumentation loops and control signal connections across the plant.

Different Voltage and Temperature Ratings

The cable schedule included 600V and 300V cable ratings, with a specified temperature rating of 75°C. These requirements needed to be considered during cable selection to match the applicable circuits and project specifications.

Shielding and Drain Wire Construction

The supplied cables featured overall shielding and drain wire construction. These features support electromagnetic interference control when installed and grounded according to the project's electrical design requirements.

EPC Documentation Requirements

Technical documentation, including cable datasheets, factory inspection and test reports, material certificates, and other quality records, was required to support EPC review and project documentation.

Export Logistics and Delivery

The cables needed to be packaged for international shipment from China to Mexico, with export documentation and delivery arrangements coordinated according to the project requirements.

Scope of Supply

Anhui Tiankang Group supplied shielded twisted-pair and multipair control cables for the Manzanillo III project.
