Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Toshiba to collaborate on
the Supply of Medium-Capacity Steam Turbines- Boosting sales of high-efficiency, cost-competitive100-200 MW class steam turbines -TOKYO and KAWASAKI―Kawasaki Heavy Industries (Kawasaki) and Toshiba
Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS) have entered into acollaboration agreement to supply medium-capacity steam turbines for utility andindustrial thermal power plants. Sales activities for all over the world will be starting
today.
As the implementation of renewable energy has expanded throughout the world, themainstream in the market for steam turbines for thermal power generation has beenshifting from the large-capacity category to the small and medium of 300 MW or less.
In addition to the existing needs for small to medium-capacity steam turbines to be costcompetitive and adaptable to a wide variety of applications such as utility and industrialuse, there are also increasing needs for these turbines to deliver higher efficiency
through such as better steam conditions and employing the reheat cycle, and better
capability enhancing power plant flexibility.
Under these circumstances Toshiba ESS and Kawasaki have been in studies for joint
development of steam turbines which combine the material and the reliability
technologies which Toshiba ESS has accumulated through the manufacture of steam
turbines for utility-use thermal power plants, with the compact, high-speed turbine
technology and packaging technology for diverse applications and flexible operations
accumulated by Kawasaki through the manufacture of steam turbines for marine andindustrial-use power generation. The two companies have agreed to effectively utilize
each other’s supply chains and to manufacture and sell the highly efficient and costcompetitive medium-capacity of 100-200MW class steam turbines.
Kawasaki will supply high-pressure (HP) turbine and reduction gear, while Toshiba ESS
will supply intermediate- and low-pressure (ILP) turbine. The two companies will seek
to expand their global sales through their respective sales networks.
Commenting on the collaboration, Takao Konishi, Vice President of the Thermal &Hydro Power Systems & Services Div. of Toshiba ESS said, “Coping with various
market environmental changes, we will expand sales of medium-capacity steam turbine
and contribute to deliver stable power supply in harmony with the environment, basedon our world-class expertise and technologies.”
Takeshi Ohata, Vice President of Energy System & Plant Engineering Company ofKawasaki said, “We aim to actively expand energy and environmental business that
leads to efficient energy use by pursuing synergies through this collaboration, based on
the capability we have developed in meeting individual needs through implementationof industrial use steam turbines.”
