The control system for power plants in a decarbonized society

As the need for decarbonized power sources grows, so does the demand for proven, reliable and flexible solutions

Power plants must respond to the needs of a society and market that are both moving towards decarbonization. The increase in renewable energies has been accompanied by a growing need for flexible power sources that can respond to change in an agile way. In the future, conversion to other fuels like hydrogen and ammonia must also be considered, making it necessary to account for modifications incorporated as available technology continues to advance.

Provides flexible yet stable operation that responds to a changing electric power market

The increase and expansion of renewable energies have led to a growing need for flexible power sources. Able to accurately apply the design concepts of gas turbine-based power generation systems, Mitsubishi Power’s Netmation distributed power plant control system responds flexibly and optimally to changes in control logic. It enables agile operation, reduces power plant downtime (thereby contributing to improved profitability), and supports continuous, stable operation.

A power plant control system that can handle fuel conversions

Fuel conversion to hydrogen or ammonia requires the modification of power plant hardware and control strategies. Mitsubishi Power’s plant control system can be smoothly and securely upgraded, maintaining high reliability while achieving a fuel conversion that gets us one step closer to a decarbonized society.
