Abstract

There is a strong demand for efficient and clean power generating systems to meet recent energy saving requirements and environmental regulations. A combined cycle power plant is one of the best solutions to the above. Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. have jointly developed three key technologies for a next generation 1,500°C class gas turbine. The three key technologies consist of (1) high temperature low NOx combustion system, (2) row I turbine vane and blade with advanced cooling schemes, and (3) advanced heat resistant materials, verified by HTDU (High Temperature Demonstration Unit). This paper describes the results of the above mentioned 6 year joint development.
