Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has completed
construction of a coal gasification furnace plant at its Nagasaki
site. The facility will supply core facilities for integrated coal
gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants. With the completion of
the new plant, MHPS now has the ability to create a fully
integrated production system for IGCC, a next-generation technology
in high-efficiency coal-fired power generation. Production of
furnaces is now underway, with a furnace now being produced for use
in a 540 megawatt (MW) IGCC plant in Iwaki, Fukushima. The Iwaki
Plant is currently under construction by Nakoso IGCC Power GK(Note)
and delivery is scheduled for June 2018.
Coal gasification furnaces provide a high-temperature,
high-pressure environment required for efficient gasification of
coal. They utilize gasification equipment capable of withstanding
high temperatures and a pressure container that can raise pressure
levels.
In order to produce furnaces that can accommodate these conditions,
a production system was adopted that utilizes both conventional
underlying technologies, including welding, and newly developed
proprietary technologies such as automated welding machines and ICT
systems. To shorten construction time, furnaces produced at the new
plant will be modularized (integrating gasification equipment and
pressure containers), and will then be transported to the
construction site for installation.
In IGCC systems, coal is gasified in the gasification furnace and
power is generated through a high-efficiency combined cycle that
integrates gas and steam turbines. The system is groundbreaking,
offering significantly higher efficiency and lower carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions than conventional coal-fired plants.
MHPS will continue to promote the adoption of cutting edge IGCC
power generation technologies, thereby contributing to the
efficient use of resources and protection of the environment.
Note : Nakoso IGCC Power GK was established with capital from five
partners: Mitsubishi Corporation Power Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries, Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Tokyo Electric
Power Company Holdings, Inc., and Joban Joint Power Co., Ltd.
