Abstract
Recently, the distributed energy system has spread quickly because of earth environment preservation, CO2 and NOx discharge reduction, and effective use of energy. Under such situation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, LTD. (KHI) has newly developed 20MW class gas turbine Model L20A in 2000. The L20A is based on our own turbine design technology and its extensive long time industry experience. After a year, in October 2001,KHI has constructed a co-generation pilot plant in its Akashi Works applying the first commercial L20A gas turbine engine.
