The power plant Kawagoe ( Jap. 川越[火力]発電所 , Kawagoe (karyoku) hatsudensho , "(combustion / heat) power plant Kawagoe" English. Kawagoe (Thermal) Power Plant / station ) is a gas power plant in Japan , which at the Ise bay in the [county's] city Kawagoe in the district of Mie of Mie Prefecture is located. With an installed capacity of 4,802 MW , it is the most powerful power plant of Chūbu Denryoku ( Chubu Electric Power ) that uses fossil fuels. It is used to cover base and medium loads .
Power plant units
The power plant consists of a total of four units with different capacities that went into operation from 1989 to 1997. The following table gives an overview:
| block | Max. Power (MW) | Start of operation | turbine | generator | Steam boiler |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 700 | 06.1989 | Toshiba | Toshiba | MHI |
| 2 | 700 | 07.1990 | Toshiba | Toshiba | MHI |
| 3 | 1,701 | 12.1996 | |||
| 4th | 1,701 | 11.1997 |
Blocks 1 and 2 use supercritical steam generators ( English supercritical : see supercritical water ). The temperature of the steam is 566 ° C and the pressure is 31 MPa . The speed of turbo sets 1 and 2 is 3,600 revolutions per minute.
Units 3 and 4 each consist of seven individual combined cycle plants , each of which in turn consists of a gas turbine with an output of 153 MW and a steam turbine with an output of 85 MW. The information on the total output of units 3 and 4 varies: in addition to 1,701 MW, 1,650 MW are also given. The temperature of the steam is 538 ° C and the pressure is 10 MPa. The speed of the turbo sets is 3,600 revolutions per minute.
fuel
All units in the power plant use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel. The Kawagoe power plant therefore has its own dock for LNG tankers with a loading volume of up to 135,000 m³, which can be unloaded in 12 hours. The LNG terminal was originally designed for the delivery of 3 million tons of LNG annually; in 2013 the annual capacity was 5.43 million tons.
In March 2013, two additional tanks for storing 180,000 m³ of LNG each were completed. With the four existing tanks, each with a capacity of 120,000 m³, the total storage capacity increased to 840,000 m³ of LNG.
There are other Chubu power plants around Ise Bay that use LNG as fuel. The Chita and Yokkaichi power plants are connected to the Kawagoe power plant by pipelines.
Others
According to Power Technology , Kawagoe ranks third among the most powerful natural gas powered power plants. According to this source, Kawagoe ranks 35th among the world's most powerful power plants, 32nd according to Forbes .
