Gas Turbine Generator
Kawasaki GPS standby gas turbine generator has served as backup power
solutions since 1976, with over 8000 packages delivered worldwide, and has
proven itself with continued high reliability through all phases of operation.
Unique features of Kawasaki GPS standby gas turbine generator include:

1. High Startup Reliability
Continuous combustion systems with single can type combustors, provide
very high startup reliability and prevent potential ignition failures sometimes
experienced during startup on diesel engines.

2. Compact, light weight
The weight of Kawasaki gas turbine generator is approximately half of an equivalentdiesel generator, whilst the required footprint is about one third.
Kawasaki gas turbine generator provides installation flexibility in limited space,rooftop or basements, and enables to increase capacity from existing units.

3. Ease of Maintenance
Kawasaki gas turbine consists of a smaller number of parts compared with diesel
engines and are not designed with any rubbing components such as reciprocating
pistons in cylinders. Therefore, mechanical failures are fewer.
Furthermore, lube oil endures longer which reduces lube oil replacement significantly.
Fewer maintenance also reduces its downtime thus increases the unit availability.

4. Excellent Frequency Stability & 100% step loading
Kawasaki Gas Turbine places importance on "Efficient Energy Use", "Eco-friendly" and"Reliable Product Care for Total Life Cycle" as a philosophy of our products.
To enhance this philosophy,
we have introduced a title for our products......."GREEN Gas Turbines".

" Get Reliable Eco-friendly Energy Now "
INDEX

Due to high rotating speed and large inertia, Kawasaki gas turbine provides power
generation with very stable frequency. Also, it enables 100% step loading within 5%frequency drop which helps the electrical system to be simple.

5. Clean Exhaust Gas
With more efficient and complete combustion, low exhaust gas emissions can be realized,
providing more eco-friendly power generation, compared to diesel engines.
Natural gas model or dual fuel model is also available.

6. Low Vibration, Excellent Earthquake-Proof
The in-house design of Kawasaki gas turbine provides for extremely low vibration characteristicsof the rotating elements, and therefore, vibration mounting dampers, such as those used for diesel
engines, are not required. This aspect eliminates the potential risk of resonance phenomenon
with flexible mountings during catastrophic events such as an earthquake and provides continued
high performance throughout the event.

Kawasaki Gas Turbine

Kawasaki Standby Gas Turbine Generator ( GPS Series )High-performance, single-shaft Kawasaki Gas Turbine provides high reliability

Compact, Kawasaki Gas Turbine Generator Package

Just like a diesel or gasoline engine, a gas turbine is a type ofinternal combustion engine and operates using the cycle ofintake, compression, combustion(expansion) and exhaust.
One major difference, however, is that the basic movement.
A gas turbine is rotary movement, in contrast to the back-and-forth
movement of a reciprocating engine.
The basic principle of a gas turbine is as shown in the diagram
below. Internal combustion processes are taking place at eachspecially designed components which work simultaneously.
This principle enables gas turbine to produce higher power
in compact body.
Kawasaki gas turbine is designed and manufactured by its own
technology, and has improved performance as well as expanded
its product lineup. Supplied reliable power over 40 years,
Kawasaki became major standby generator supplier of its power
range.

High Startup Reliability

Fuel Flexibility

Startup reliability is one of the most important factors for backup power supply system.
Kawasaki GPS has proved its high startup reliability with actual performance in thedisastrous situations.

Kawasaki gas turbine enables the choice of diesel fuel andgas fuel. This dual fuel capability realizes high reliable
power supply and long term operation compared withdiesel engine generator.

Benefits of Dual Fuel System
Long time operation without large fuel storage tank.
Higher reliable operation than single fuel system.
Clean exhaust gas with gas fuel.

Mobile / Trailer Model ( MGP / TGP Series )Kawasaki MGP/TGP Series are gas turbine generators mounted on trucks or trailers for mobileapplication. MGP/TGP integrate all necessary equipment and enable fully automatic operation without
the need for external power supply. High durability against vibration and shock, and reliable operation
are important for this application. Kawasaki MGP/TGP is designed to fully meet such demands.

Basic Specifications

Advantages
1. Developed with Vast Field Experience

3. Compact Integration

Gas Turbines on trucks or trailers need to withstand large
vibration/shock when the trucks run on roads.
Kawasaki meets mobile installation condition with gas
turbines experience and technology from Kawasaki aircraft
jet engines operating under similar severe environmental
conditions.

MGP/TGP incorporate all necessary equipment, including
fuel tank, batteries, exhaust silencer, cable reel, etc.,
inside a compact aluminum enclosure.
This feature enables easy maintenance.

2. Low Center of Gravity and Large Tumble-down Angle
Thanks to light weight of gas turbines, the center of gravity of
MGP/TGP is low, and this makes it possible to have stablemaneuverability.

4. Blackout Start Capability
MGP/TGP can start up and supply electricity without any
external utility supply, such as electric power and fuel.

(Note)＊ 1 : Output : Up to 40°C of ambient temp., 150 m above sea level.
