The Nanpu No.4 power plant, the first combined cycle power
plant in Taiwan constructed by MHI, began commercial operation on June 30, 2003.
Nanpu No.4 power plant, taken over to the Taiwan Power Company (TPC), is located
near central Kaohsiung, Taiwan's second-largest city, which has a harbor counted
among the world's five largest trading ports.
Performance tests were completed with good results that sufficiently satisfied
the stipulations of TPC. This plant has MHI products with high reliability.
MHI took over a 1-on-1-type configuration including one gas turbine, one heat
recovery steam generator (HRSG), and one steam turbine. Moreover, a feature of
this plant, which adopted a clutch system, is the uni-axial flow exhaust system
that does not use external auxiliary steam during the start-up phase.
This plant generates 248 MW and is making a significant contribution to the goal
of stable power sources in Taiwan.
