Outline

The Power Systems Headquarters has long been designing, manufacturing, constructing, and installing power systems equipment and diesel engines for power generation and various uses for industry, households, and maritime applications, and boasts a long and excellent track record. A long history of deliveries has now accrued.

Major efforts are now focused on the development of technologies for new targets related to energy conservation, oil substitution, new and renewable energy, and environmental protection. Through these efforts, the Headquarters has already achieved major successes in technologies for energy conservation, high-temperature and high-efficiency steam turbines, high-temperature and high-efficiency gas turbines, combined-cycle power plants with the world's highest heat efficiency, ultra-supercritical boilers, and large-capacity, high-head reversible pump turbines. The Headquarters has also developed outstanding technologies for coal gasification, a pressurized fluidized bed boiler, wind and geothermal power generation systems, a photovoltaic system, fuel cells, a secondary battery to meet new targets in the fields of oil substitution and new/renewable energy, and flue gas DeNOx systems for environmental protection.

MHI's ongoing R&D efforts and abundant R&D experience have led to the realization of many hundreds of power system technologies. In the field of gas turbines, the Power Systems Headquarters completed the "G" series gas turbine, the world's most advanced turbine in its class, with an inlet temperature of 1,500 degrees C. This technology is a milestone achievement for MHI's power system business in a world where the demand for gas turbine plants is rapidly increasing.

MHI has created the world's most advanced boiler technologies, including new systems with vertical furnace walls with rifle tubing, once-through boilers, and low level pollution combustion systems and De-NOx technologies for licensing overseas.

MHI manufactures engines of many outputs. Of these, the Power Systems Headquarters handles PS marine diesel engines and diesel/gas engines for power generation, with outputs from 1,500PS to 90,000PS. With help from the unique technologies MHI has researched throughout its history, starting from the technologies built into Japan's first diesel engines in 1917, MHI has developed a long succession of UE engines, KU engines, and MET turbochargers. The Headquarters has technologically refined and marketed the UEC Eco-Engine, the latest UE series, a series of MACH-30G, MACHII-SI gas engines, a series of MARK-30B diesel engines (the world's most efficient), and the MET-MB, Hybrid turbochargers.

Over the course of the many years following the delivery of an engine, MHI provides various services to respond to customer needs through maintenance and work in response to environmental measures.
