Extracting heat energy from the ground to produce environmentally-friendly, highly

efficient electric power

Geothermal power generation refers to a system of creating clean power by extracting heat
energy from the ground. Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) was the first in the world to
apply a combined system that consists of a two phase flow transportation system and a double
flash cycle, which has been widely applied in geothermal power generation. Our geothermal
power generation systems have been introduced in many different countries around the world
and continue to be in high demand.

High Performance and Reliability

We became the first in the world to introduce the two phase flow transportation system and the
double flash cycle as technologies for geothermal power generation. We have been striving to
develop new geothermal power generation technologies. Based on research findings
accumulated over a long period of time, our geothermal power plants have been verified to
produce high performance and high availability all over the world. For example, the Los Azufres
III geothermal power plant in Mexico, which came into operation in 2015, exhibited an
availability of 99.6% during the one-year period after its start of operation.

We will continue to help stably supply electric power on the basis of our superior geothermal
power generation technologies.

Life Cycle CO2 Emissions (g-CO2/kWh) from Power Generation Technologies


Geothermal power generation involves no combustion on the ground because it uses magma
heat energy inside the earth. Therefore it emits little carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and is
effective against global warming. While it is a renewable energy source, heat energy that exists
in large quantities inside the earth is not affected by weather conditions. This gives geothermal
power generation the advantage of a high availability, comparable with that of thermal power
generation.

Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Services

Supply Unit for Geothermal Power Plant


We are not merely a manufacturer that designs and manufactures the equipment and devices
required for thermal power plants. We also provide EPC services, including plant construction.

We have received EPC orders for about 70% of the 107 geothermal power plants we have
delivered since 1950, and accordingly we have offered engineering, procurement and
construction services.

One strength lies in our engagement in design, manufacturing and construction of optimal plants
in an integrated manner to ensure that they produce maximum output from limited geothermal
energy in consideration of the geothermal resources and atmospheric properties that vary from
region to region.
Steam Turbines

Contributing to Power Generation Globally for More than a Century

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) steam turbines are a result of more than a century of
R&D and manufacturing experience. Our highly reliable and efficient steam turbines have
undergone strict in-house testing and quality management procedures to meet the diverse
requirements of our global customer-base.

We offer a comprehensive lineup of small and mid-sized steam turbines for industrial
applications, as well as large steam turbines for steam, nuclear, and geothermal power plants.
Our applications and services are tailored to meet the functional requirements of our customers
and to further our sustainable obligations to the environment.
