Steam turbine
Hitachi Power

The blade tips of a turbine rotate some 3,000 times a minute and are thus faster than the speed of sound. The blades under extremely high steam temperatures (approx. 620 °C) and pressures (up to 250 bar) are subjected to extreme loads and stresses. Even so, it is expected of steam turbines that they are reliable and perform their work round the clock.

Hitachi, Ltd. has been supplying these kinds of highly efficient and reliable steam turbines for over 75 years now. Hitachi Power Europe's parent company has on offer turbines in the 250 to 1,380 megawatt (MW) rating class. Constant research and refinements ensure that these components belong to the best of their kind across the world.

The components (turbine and generator) are manufactured in the Hitachi works to the NE of Tokyo in Japan. Hitachi engineering teams not only carry out strict quality checks to ensure maximum performance and quality, but also provide ongoing and extensive support for their customers and service/upgrade the turbines.
