Ibaraki Plant Location: Ibaraki Operator: Hitachi Zosen Corp Configuration: 1 X 3.8-MW Typhoon gas turbine, 1 X 29-MW LM2500 gas turbine, 105-MW 1+1 CCGT block with 6001FA gas turbine, 1 X 110-MW single-shaft CCGT Fuel: distillate oil, kerosene Operation: 1992-2005 HRSG supplier: ?? T/G supplier: EGT, GE, Stewart & Stevenson, Brush, Hitachi Quick facts: In May 2004, GE Energy announced that it would supply equipment and maintenance services for a new, 110-MW CCGT plant at Hitachi Zosen Corp’s site in Ibaraki Prefecture. In addition to the power train, the scope included an oil module, control equipment, a fuel/water injection skid and a washing skid. Water injection is used for NOx reduction. Electricity is sold to Tokyo EPC.

Ichihara Bay Side Location: Chiba Operator: J-Power Configuration: 2 X 54 MW gas turbines CHP Fuel: gas Operation: 2004 HRSG supplier: IHI T/G supplier: GE EPC: Mitsui Photograph courtesy of J-Power Posted 23 Jul 2005 |
Kawasaki CC Location: Kanagawa Operator: Tokyo Electric Power Co Configuration: 3 X 500-MW single-shaft CCGT blocks with M701G2 gas turbines CHP Fuel: LNG Operation: 2007-2009 HRSG supplier: MHI T/G supplier: MHI, Melco Quick facts: This was the first installation of the steam-cooled 701G2 machine, the world's largest GT at completion of Unit-3 in Jun 2007 (rating 334 MW). The 6 X 175-MW conventional steam sets shown in the photo have been demolished to make room for the second phase development of three more CCGT blocks. Thermal efficiency is 59.1% LHV. Vertical HRSGs were used to minimize plant footprint and the modular 3,800t installations were shipped by barge from the MHI works in Nagasaki. Construction on the heavily urbanized site was challenging. Among other things 65ft deep tunnels were built under the existing plant for interconnection with the existing substation. The CCGT plant also can supply steam to ten neighboring industries.
