Abstract: In recent years, the power market has faced many challenges such as overcapacity, variable load, excessive debt, environmental pressure and insufficient demand, which puts forward new and higher requirements for production, operation management and control capabilities of power plant. Combined with the 1 000 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired unit of Fangjiazhuang Project, after extensive research, the construction concept of the intelligent power plant of Fangjiazhuang Project is proposed according to the connotation of the intelligent power plant, the intelligent power plant structure is formulated, the construction content of the intelligent power plant is determined, and the construction goal and effect are clearly defined, at last, a complete set of intelligent power plant construction plans is formed. By integrating Internet of things, cloud computing, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, mobile applications through technologies such as intelligent sensing and execution, intelligent control and optimization, intelligent management and decision-making, etc., the unit are more safer and reliable, and the operation are more economical and efficient, environmentally friendly and flexible, and the unit can better adapt to the competitive environment of the electricity market.

Key words: thermal power plant, 1 000 MW unit, intelligent power plant, management and control center, plant-level big data, intelligent applications
