    Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) delivered the demonstration unit prototype to Kyushu University for the commercialization of the SOFC-MGT hybrid system, and now the cumulative power generating time has exceeded 10,000 hours. In addition, in the program subsidized by National Research and Development Agency New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), demonstration systems have been set up at four locations in Japan, and the verification of durability and the demonstration through start/stop tests and load change tests in an actual load environment have been conducted toward introduction to the market since 2015.
