KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 -- Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems’ (MHPS) J-Series gas turbine installed fleet has achieved one million hours of commercial operation, nearly double that of similar sized gas turbines from competitors.
According to MHPS in a statement, the company’s largest and most advanced gas turbine series leads the industry with reliable, efficient power generation and flexibility to meet rigid new standards for reduced carbon emissions.
Compared to the same size coal-fired power plants, one million J-Series operating hours have resulted in CO₂ emission reduction of 270 million tonnes. This is equivalent to CO₂ emissions from 1,346,918 railcars of coal burned.
Introduced in 2011, the J-Series delivers an industry-leading overall reliability of 99.5 per cent and an efficiency greater than 64 per cent.
Forty-three J-Series gas turbines are in commercial operation, and total ordered capacity exceeds 25 GW globally.
One hundred units have been technically selected in Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States.
In many parts of the world, the J-Series gas turbine frequently replaces retired coal-fired power generation or is installed as an alternative to coal-fired power generation.
