Introduction of Hitachinaka Thermal Power Station Unit 2, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Commercial operation starts under the largest ever mixed ratio of subbituminous coal in Japan, overcoming the earthquake disaster)
Kure Business Department, Business & Strategic Planning Headquarters Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd.
In the Hitachinaka Thermal Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Company, the boiler of
Unit 2 was designed to have the largest mixing ratio of subbituminous coal in Japan. This design
was determined based on the needs of our client, which had arisen from the practical experience
with the previous boiler (i.e., Unit 1 at the same power station). The commercial operation of Unit
2 continues under the circumstances in which societal dependence on coal-fired power generation
as a steady, stable power supply is significantly increasing.
