SUNBO Unitec collaborates with KEPCO Research Institute for hydrogen co-firing of 150MW gas turbine A research project agreement was signed for ‘Retrofit technology development and verification’.

 

SUNBO Unitec participated in the agreement ceremony held at the KEPCO Research Institute on July 11 along with a total of 17 organizations, including the government, power generation companies, industry, academia, and research institutes. This agreement was concluded to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gases in the power generation sector.

 

Currently , the global hydrogen co-firing market is showing continuous growth as a means of reducing greenhouse gases from gas turbine combined cycle power plants . Accordingly , securing technologies such as ▲ gas turbine combustor modification ▲ hydrogen co-firing operation ▲ natural gas-hydrogen mixed supply ▲ hydrogen safety management to apply hydrogen to gas turbines has emerged as a key issue. Korea Electric Power Research Institute is continuously developing and demonstrating technology to convert old gas turbines to hydrogen co- firing so that the utilization rate of gas turbine combined cycle power plants can be improved and greenhouse gas reduction effects can be achieved at the same time.

 

SUNBO Unitec plans to collaborate with 17 organizations to develop technology to convert existing gas turbines to hydrogen co-firing by more than 50% and demonstrate it for the first combined gas turbine units in Seoincheon and Shinincheon. If the long-term demonstration of 50% hydrogen co-firing is successful for large gas turbines of 100 MW or more, it can greatly contribute to achieving the goal of reducing greenhouse gases by domestically producing global-level hydrogen co-firing technology. By building a large-capacity hydrogen power generation complex infrastructure centered on the metropolitan area with high power generation capacity, it is expected that it will be able to smoothly supply to other urban areas such as Busan with high energy consumption.

 

SUNBO Unitec is running as a leader in the future energy industry by signing an MOU in the field of eco-friendly and energy new business and plant modules with a large domestic company, participating in a hydrogen co-fired gas turbine power generation project, and taking charge of system diagnosis and local production of parts. In particular, as the company declared a major transformation into a comprehensive green energy solution company in 2021 and is focusing on supporting technology development and commercialization, it is expected to play a role in the success of this government project based on its systematic system and capabilities.

 

SUNBO Unitec received an order for the Mixing station among the co-fired power generation systems in March 2022 and delivered it in December 2022.​
