Mitsubishi Power's M701JAC Gas Turbine Exceeds 8,000 Actual Operating Hours
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), has achieved an accumulated 8,000 hours of actual operating hours (AOH) for its M701JAC gas turbine.

The subject gas turbine unit was installed for gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power generation system operated as part of a joint venture between Thailand's Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited, one of the country's largest independent power producers (IPP), and Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
The 60Hz model M501JAC gas turbine previously achieved 8,000 AOH in June 2018, and with the 50Hz model M701JAC now having exceeded 8,000 AOH as well, the state-of-the-art air-cooled JAC (J Series Air Cooled) series has established an industry benchmark of reliability for both the 50Hz and 60Hz markets.
Further, a M501JAC model gas turbine utilized for a long-term demonstration operation begun in July 2020 at the T-Point 2 combined cycle power plant validation facility on the grounds of the Takasago Machinery Works in Hyogo Prefecture, has recently reproduced the result of more than 8,000 AOH.
This achievement provides even more solid evidence of the reliability of JAC Series gas turbines.
T-Point 2 is a core facility for the Takasago Hydrogen Park currently under construction, and will be utilized for operational validation using hydrogen fuel and integration of emerging technologies for total energy management, including hydrogen fuel utilization, hydrogen production and energy storage.
Toshiyuki Hashi, MHI Senior Executive Fellow and Head of Energy Transition & Power Headquarters of Energy Systems, said regarding the achievement of this record, "We are extremely proud that the JAC Series gas turbines at these two plants have achieved both high reliability and efficiency, reaching 8,000 hours of operation. We believe that JAC Series gas turbines, which are able to stably provide clean energy with high efficiency through the use of hydrogen fuel, will play an important future role in realizing a carbon neutral society."
