Mitsubishi Power’s Post

The Forefront of Hydrogen Power Generation #2 The Takasago Hydrogen Park consists of three zones for production, storage, and utilization of hydrogen. In the production zone, hydrogen production began in September 2023 using an alkaline water electrolyzer manufactured by HydrogenPro AS of Norway.  A test unit of a Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (#SOEC) that we have been developing began operation this spring.  We are also working on next-generation Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) and turquoise hydrogen production technologies for commercialization.

Meeting #gasturbine demand: Since the first MW171 gas turbine, with a turbine inlet temperature of 732°C for Asahi Glass’s Chiba Plant in 1963, Mitsubishi Power has received orders of more than 1,660 gas turbines to customers around the world. The need for high-efficiency power generation, such as #GTCC, is increasing from environmental concerns. We will continue striving to contribute to the stable supply of electric power and environmental protection by developing gas turbines that fit the energy situation and meet environmental regulations of each country.

The Forefront of Hydrogen Power Generation 1 In November 2023, #MitsubishiPower successfully completed a 30% hydrogen co-firing test using a state-of-the-art 1,650 °C class JAC #gasturbine at the GTCC testing facility in Takasago Hydrogen Park. This is the world’s first demonstration using a fuel mixture of 30% hydrogen that is produced and stored at the same facility and connected to the local power grid. 100% hydrogen combustion tests for a small- and medium-sized gas turbines in an actual power plant have been started as well.

Gas Turbines in Depth – Raising thermal efficiency Gas turbine development is a challenge against “heat.” The higher the combustion temperature of the fuel injected into the turbine blades, the higher the power generation efficiency, which in turn reduces the amount of CO2 emitted per unit output. #MitsubishiPower began developing the 700°C class #gasturbine in 1963. Since then, we have achieved higher temperatures with the 1,250°C class, the 1,350°C class, the 1,500°C class, the 1,600°C class, and the 1,650°C class in 2020 that has achieved the world’s highest class of thermal efficiency, 64% efficiency. We are now aiming for 1,700°C class and 65% or higher efficiency. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gSRP8fde #EnergyTransition #MissionNetZero #PowerGeneration #GasTurbines

#MitsubishiPower is advancing next-generation energy technologies for decarbonization at two facilities in Japan. By collaborating closely between Takasago and Nagasaki, Mitsubishi Power aims to support the transition to a hydrogen society. 🔵Takasago Hydrogen Park (Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture) This integrated facility is verifying technologies for hydrogen production, storage, and power generation for the rapid commercialization of #hydrogen #gasturbines. Hydrogen single-firing and co-firing are being tested in actual gas turbines for power generation to improve product reliability.      🔴Nagasaki Carbon Neutral Park (Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture) This facility is a base for technology development related to energy decarbonization, which is producing biomass fuel and developing ammonia firing technologies in addition to hydrogen production. Key technologies developed here are being used for demonstration of hydrogen production and hydrogen power generation at Takasago Hydrogen Park. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gRwTcKKH

Gas Turbine Assembly Shop – How is a #gasturbine assembled? About 65,000 parts go into a huge gas turbine with a total length of about 16m and a total weight of about 500 tons. The time to complete a turbine varies depending on the model, but it’s about a month for a team of five to six professionals. Even the slightest scratches can lead to serious accidents, so meticulous inspections are carried out before and after assembly, and assembly is done carefully to exacting standards, where variances are measured in microns.
