Steam Power Plants
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) designs and delivers highly efficient and environmentally friendly power generation facilities, including boilers, steam turbines, generators, air quality control systems, and other auxiliaries.
A steam power plant consists of a boiler, steam turbine and generator, and other auxiliaries. The boiler generates steam at high pressure and high temperature. The steam turbine converts the heat energy of steam into mechanical energy. The generator then converts the mechanical energy into electric power.
Our highly efficient and environmental friendly power plants will contribute to the stable supply of electrical power and reduction of environmental impact.
Applying ultra-supercritical pressure technology for highly efficient power generation
Our highly efficient and environmentally friendly power plants have an impressive track record in field of supercritical and ultra-supercritical pressure power plants and high level of trust in the market. We will contribute to the stable supply of electric power and to the reduction of environmental impact all around the world, based on our advanced technologies.
What is ultra-supercritical pressure?
Under normal atmospheric pressure [0.101 MPa], water boils at 100ºC. As pressure increases, the boiling temperature of water also increases. When the pressure is increased to 22.12 MPa, and at a temperature of 374ºC, water does not boil but is directly converted into steam. This is called the critical point, and the pressure above this critical point is called supercritical pressure. Supercritical pressure with a temperature equal to or more than 593ºC is called ultra-supercritical pressure.
Paving the way for effective use of energy
Co-generation plant is a power plant to supply both electric power and heat (in most cases steam). Co-generation plants are applied as effective solution for industrial purpose power plants to factories. Utilization of surplus energy from the factory as fuel for the boiler will further enhance effective use of the available energy. Industrial purpose power plants are also functional as distributed generations. We will contribute to optimization of energy usage and to the reduction of environmental impact, based on our advanced technologies.
Supplying power plants matching customers' needs
We are not merely a manufacturer that designs and manufactures the equipment and devices required for thermal power plants. We also provide EPC services, including plant construction.Power plants are consisted by Main plant equipment, such as boilers, steam turbines and generators, and miscellaneous auxiliary equipment. Since we are capable both on main equipment supplier and EPC, we are capable to optimize design condition for boilers, steam turbines and generators,based on the required electrical power and heat output. One strength lies in our engagement in design, manufacturing and construction of optimal plants in an integrated manner to ensure requirement of customer, suitability to location, with the maximized performance of the major equipment.
