New Energy Award 1998

Director-General of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Prize
Application category

System at Kogasaki Plant
Winner
Kitakyushu City

Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities
This is Japan's largest combined gas turbine repowering type waste power generation system comprising a 28,300 kW steam turbine and a 8,000 kW gas turbine for a total output of 36,300 kW.
Waste heat from the gas turbine is channeled into the steam turbine, which is powered by heat from waste incineration, to give a total thermal efficiency of 26%.
At the same time, the high-temperature combustion of waste keeps the amount of dioxin produced to below 1/10 of the regulation value.
And Kita-Kyushu City establishes a visitors' pathway around the plant with recorded explanations in both Japanese and English at the major items of equipment so visitors can see and learn how the plant operates.
