These days, against a background of deregulation of the powergeneration industry, more and more IPPs (independent power producers) and PPSs (power producers and suppliers) are entering the powergeneration market. At the same time, the need for improved energy efficiency is growing. As a result of these circumstances, the number of combined cycle power plants in the 20–100-MW class being constructed is continuing to increase. Accordingly, to meet these needs, Hitachi is proposing an H-25 combined-cycle power plant implemented with H-25 gas turbines (25-MW class)—which help to improve plant efficiency and shorten start-up and shutdown times. From such a background, Hitachi has developed a new plant control and monitoring system named "Hitachi Integrated Autonomic Control System—Multiplex for turbine control 1000 (HIACS-MULTI 1000)" for H-25 combined-cycle power plants. The HIACS-MULTI 1000 is the latest addition to the repertory of HIACS-MULTI systems. As well as attaining improved reliability and maintainability, the HIACS-MULTI 1000 control system is more compact and thus saves equipment space.
