Shin-Nagoya Thermal Power Station (新名古屋火力発電所, Shin-Nagoya Karyoku Hatsudensho) is a thermal power station operated by JERA in the Minato Ward of the city of Nagoya. Aichi Prefecture. Japan. The facility is located at the northern end of Chita Peninsula.[1]
History
The Shin-Nagoya Thermal power Station is the only power plant located within the city limits of Nagoya, and provides much of the city's electricity for ordinary homes. Unit 1 started operation as a coal-fired power plant in 1959, and Units 2 through 6 were built by 1964, reaching a total output of 12,560 MW, making it the largest power plant in Asia at that time. All six units were converted from coal to heavy oil in 1972. Units 1 through 4 were abolished in 1992 as their equipment reach the end of is operational life, as were Units 5 and 6 in 2002. Unit 7 was completed in 1996 as an Advanced Combined Cycle system (ACC) using LNG as fuel with a 1300 deg C combustion temperature, driving six gas and six steam turbines. Unit 8 was built between 2005 and 2008 as a More Advanced Combined Cycle system (MACC) using LNG as fuel with a 1500 deg C combustion temperature, driving four gas turbines and four steam turbines.[2]。
In April 2019, all thermal power plant operations of Chubu Electric Power were transferred to JERA, a joint venture between Chubu Electric and TEPCO Fuel & Power, Inc, a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company.
