Mitsubishi Gets Gas Turbine Orders from China

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) said May 23 it has received an order for two H-25 gas turbines for a thermal power station being built by China Resources Power Group in Taixing City, Jiangsu Province, China.

The units on order will form the core equipment of a double-train 80 MW class gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant fired by natural gas. It is scheduled to go into operation in 2019. Serving as a standalone power source in a local industrial zone, the new plant will supply power, steam for manufacturing processes, and cooled air for air-conditioning, MHPS said.

The power plant project is being developed by China Resources Power Taizhou, a wholly owned member of China Resources Power Group. The plant is under construction in the Hongqiao Industrial Zone located around 100 km from Nanjing, Jiangsu's provincial capital. MHPS said it received the order through Harbin Guanghan Gas Turbine Co, a member of China Shipbuilding Industry Group that produces ships and marine machinery.

The GTCC facility uses components such as two H-25 gas turbines, steam turbines, generators and waste heat recovery boilers. MHPS will deliver the gas turbines' main and auxiliary machinery and also dispatch engineers to the site to perform installation and provide guidance in trial operations.
