Next-generation gas turbine control system for thermal power plants completes functional testing
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Mitsubishi Electric) have completed functional testing of their jointly developed next-generation gas turbine control system for thermal power plants.
This control system integrates Mitsubishi Power’s advanced control technology and Mitsubishi Electric’s high-speed data processing technology to optimize the operation of large-scale gas turbines used for power generation, achieving stable and efficient power output. Additionally, it enables advanced control functions that support rapid load adjustments to complement fluctuations in renewable energy generation, as well as accommodate the diversified fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen.
The recent functional tests confirmed the system’s capability to efficiently process the growing volume of operational data produced by larger and higher-performance gas turbines. Moving forward, the two companies will leverage their respective strengths to further advance joint development and verification efforts, including system validation tests simulating actual equipment, with the aim of launching the system to the market for new projects in fiscal year 2026.
