Two MALE 12V51/60DF engines bought by Kawasaki Heavy Industries,Ltd (KHI) in 2020 have actually gone into solution in Japan’s residential power market. The engines are based at the Miyako Island nuclear power plant, possessed as well as run by the Okinawa Electric Power Company (OEPC).
The engines will certainly produce around 24 MW of electric power for not just base-load, yet likewise for peak-shaving the power need of the tiny vacation island as well as its 50,000 citizens, enhancing performance along with significantly decreasing discharges compared to the previous setup.
Martin Höhler, Head of Power, Region Asia-Pacific, at MALE Energy Solutions, claimed: “The Miyako order is a first for the Japanese power-generation market as these MAN units are the very first dual-fuel engines to be installed in the entire country. They will mainly run on natural gas and their dual-fuel flexibility and reliability is perfectly suited for delivering an independent power supply in remote regions.”
The Covid -19 pandemic confirmed to be the greatest obstacle to appointing the Miyako task with Japan totally shutting its boundaries to international nationals previously in 2021. As an outcome, MALE Energy Solutions composed an alternate strategy combined with male Japan as well as utilized regional workers for the appointing– supported from another location by technological team from Europe– with the task eventually continuing efficiently as well as on time.
KHI is just one of male Energy Solutions’ longest-standing companions in Japan with a common background going back to 1911. Similarly, OEPC collaborated with male Energy Solutions a lot more just recently when 2 male 18V48/60B engines were mounted at a nuclear power plant on the adjoining island of Ishigaki.
