Mitsubishi Electric Verifies VP-X High-efficiency Turbine Generator

摘要

TOKYO, December 8, 2014-Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today the successful completion of verification tests on its VP-X turbine generator for thermal power plants, the world's first generator in the 900 MVA class to use indirect hydrogen cooling for stator conductors. Cooling is achieved with hydrogen gas introduced from outside of the main insulation. Thanks to this and other proprietary technologies, the VP-X achieves an extra-high efficiency rating of 99%, placing it in the world's highest class of turbine generators that offer highly sustainable operation. A series of VP-X generators will be launched commercially in April 2015. Enlarge VP-X high-efficiency 870 MVA generator used for verification Enlarge Lineup of two-pole turbine generators ..
