Steam Power Plants
Mitsubishi Power designs and delivers highly efficient and environmentally friendly power generation facilities, including boilers, steam turbines, generators, air quality control systems, and other auxiliaries.
A steam power plant consists of a boiler, steam turbine and generator, and other auxiliaries. The boiler generates steam at high pressure and high temperature. The steam turbine converts the heat energy of steam into mechanical energy. The generator then converts the mechanical energy into electric power.
Our highly efficient and environmental friendly power plants will contribute to the stable supply of electrical power and reduction of environmental impact.

Applying ultra-supercritical pressure technology for highly efficient power generation
Our highly efficient and environmentally friendly power plants have an impressive track record in field of supercritical and ultra-supercritical pressure power plants and high level of trust in the market. We will contribute to the stable supply of electric power and to the reduction of environmental impact all around the world, based on our advanced technologies.
What is ultra-supercritical pressure?
Under normal atmospheric pressure [0.101 MPa], water boils at 100ºC. As pressure increases, the boiling temperature of water also increases. When the pressure is increased to 22.12 MPa, and at a temperature of 374ºC, water does not boil but is directly converted into steam. This is called the critical point, and the pressure above this critical point is called supercritical pressure. Supercritical pressure with a temperature equal to or more than 593ºC is called ultra-supercritical pressure.
