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.
