Officials and technicians of the hydroelectric power sector have made successes in the work for further raising the scientific level of operation and the overall efficiency of power stations by introducing the real-time efficiency measuring system into the stations, in close cooperation with the State Academy of Sciences and Kim Chaek University of Technology.

A work is accelerated as scheduled to send water-wheel buckets conducive to boosting electric-power production to the hydroelectric power units.

The thermal power sector has made progress in enhancing the combustion efficiency of boilers and the efficiency of generators.

Sunchon, East Pyongyang and other thermal power plants introduced a combustion control technology based on the analyzer for oxygen content of waste gas into boilers to raise the combustion efficiency and put the operation of equipment on a higher scientific basis.

The Pukchang Thermal Power Complex, the Pyongyang Thermal Power Plant and the Chongchongang Thermal Power Plant have made strides in the project for changing thermal power turbine blades.
