Abstract
This is an operational review of Kougasaki Combined Power Generation Facility with MSW Incineration that was completed in July of 1998 at Kitakyushu City. The power generating facility of this plant was designed to meet the maximum quantity and maximum calorific value of the waste to be treated, and is one of the largest of such plant in the country. Currently, however, it is restricted to run at nearly the half-load level. The report explains the method of power generation control that matches the fluctuation of the load, and also presents the economic advantages and reduction of environmental burden by the use of combined power generation system.
