Power Plant Gas Turbine Recognized by Guinness

Guinness World Records recognized Chubu Electric Nishi-Nagoya Block-1 power plant as the world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant. It is powered by GE Power’s 7HA gas turbine. The combined-cycle power plant achieved 63.08 percent gross efficiency during Guinness validation. In addition to the HA gas turbine, the facility utilizes Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions’ steam turbine and generator technology.

GE supplied three 7HA.01 gas turbines to the Nishi-Nagoya Block-1 power plant, which provides more than 1,188 mw of power to the grid. This is the equivalent power needed to supply approximately 2.7 million average homes in Japan.

Avoiding scale, corrosion and microbiological growth — all of which diminish effective heat transfer — is the focus of any water treatment approach for water-contacted process heating and cooling equipment.
