Daewoo awards Mitsubishis power generation plant in Korea Power and Energy

11 Jun 2014| Posted by Morris | In Power and Energy

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) has been awarded a contract by Daewoo Engineering & Construction to supply two M501J gas turbines for the Pocheon combined cycle power plant, a gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power generation plant in South Korea. 

Daewoo Energy, a special purpose company affiliated with Daewoo E&C, will construct the gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power generation plant in Pocheon city, which is located about 45km northwest of Seoul. Under the contract, MHPS will deliver two M501J gas turbines, one steam turbine and three generators for the power plant, which is scheduled to go on stream in November 2016.

Designed using proprietary MHPS technologies, the 60Hz M501J gas turbines can attain world class level of efficiency and power generation capacity in systems of this type with turbine inlet temperatures of 1,600°C.

The GTCC utilizes high-temperature exhaust gas from the gas turbine to generate steam to run the steam turbine; it’s a high capacity power generation system which can generate power with a combination of gas and steam turbines.

The design facilitates higher thermal efficiency while reducing fuel consumption and reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) relative to electricity generation, resulting a reduced environmental impact of the system 

The core components for the power plant, including the state-of-the-art M501J gas turbines, manufactured and supplied by MHPS, to meet strong power requirements in the Seoul metropolitan area. 

Compared to conventional coal-fired power generation plants, using the J-Series gas turbines, GTCC power generation can lessen 50% of CO2 emissions.
