GE’S LARGEST HRSG SUPERMODULES SHIPPED TO JAPAN

GE Vernova’s Gas Power business announced the completion of the safe transport and delivery of one of the world’s largest HRSG Supermodules from South Korea to Japan. These large, prefabricated Supermodules are for three GE Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) that will be installed at Goi Thermal Power Station located in Chiba Prefecture east of Tokyo. GE will work with Toshiba to integrate the Supermodules at the plant. The project, celebrated in conjunction with the U.S. National Safety Month, further demonstrates the company’s commitment to raising awareness on occupational safety and health around the world.

Powered by three GE 9HA.02 gas turbines, the approximately 2,340 megawatts (MW) Goi plant will be an LNG-fueled combined cycle power plant and it’s expected to start commercial operation in phases, starting from 2024. In addition to the gas turbines, for this project, GE also delivered three HRSGs, with Pressure Part Modules fabricated at GE’s Manufacturing facility in Changwon, South Korea, and the Supermodules assembled in Tongyeong, South Korea. GE’s HRSG plays an important part in a combined cycle power plant as it uses heat from the gas turbine exhaust to generate super-heated steam, which powers a steam turbine to create up to 50% more energy without any additional fuel.

GE adapted to the unique circumstances to enable successful delivery in collaboration with the Chiba Port office and the Japanese Coast Guard. During the roll-on operation in Korea, barges were put in place to ensure the right seawater depth in front of the quay. In addition, a rampway hanger, buoy and patrol vessels helped accommodate berthing requirements at the Goi jetty.



With an installed base of more than 1,270 HRSGs worldwide and significant technical expertise, GE delivers HRSG solutions that are custom engineered to meet customers’ operating flexibility and performance requirements and the Goi HRSG Supermodules are a great example of that.
