OVERVIEW |
In recent years, thanks to deregulation in the field of thermal power generation, power-generation facilities called IPP have been constructed in great numbers throughout Japan. Hitachi, Ltd. is actively involved in the power-generation business across all activities—ranging from plant engineering up to operational management after plants have been constructed and commissioned. At this time, as an IPP providing wholesale power to the Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., Hitachi Rinkai Power Station Unit-2 has been completed. Since this plant is located in Hitachi Works, Rinkai Factory (Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan) surrounded by local residences, its equipment specifications must take particular account of the plant' s influence on the surrounding environment (namely, noise pollution and waste-water discharge). In comparison to Unit-1, which is already in commercial operation, Unit-2 is a power plant that features improved start-up characteristics and high reliability while taking extra account of the surrounding environment.
