COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT GETS GAS TURBINES FROM MITSUBISHI

itsubishi Power, an arm of MHI, has installed three M701JAC gas turbines to the Fujairah F3 combined cycle power plant in the UAE from its Takasago Machinery Works in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The 2.4 GW plant will be the largest natural gas fired GTCC facility in the UAE, playing a crucial role in the country's power generation sector, while also contributing to the GCC's power grid. The M701JAC operates at an efficiency greater than 64%, is given a reliability rating of 99.6%, and is said to be the lowest emitter of carbon-dioxide emissions per unit of power when used in combined cycle. It is capable of operating on a mixture of up to 30 % hydrogen and 70 % natural gas and can be converted to 100 % hydrogen firing.
