The order for the 15,200kW vertical deriaz-type pump
turbine of this Chugoku Electric Power’s Okutsu #2
Power Station was awarded September 1998. The manufacturing,
installation and commission was completed with a perfect
safety record and on September 3rd, this facility began
commercial operation. This power generating facility is
located in the Chugoku Region in the northern part of Okayama
Prefecture Japan and is near Okutsu Hot Spring. With the
completion of the Tomata Dam, the Kuta power generating
facility and the upstream Hade power generating facility
were submerged and, as a redevelopment project, the Okutsu
Power Station was built to replace them.

The water turbine that has gone into operation this time
was chosen because of the highly evaluated performance
of the 7,300kW Yasaka Power Station equipment supplied
to Chugoku Electric Power in 1988. Thus, it appears that
with this success, it will be possible to expand sales
of vertical deriaz-type pump turbines.
