Moreover, 41.8kW power generation was successfully generated by burning only ammonia (100% ammonia) as a fuel. (the world’s first success)●The concentration of nitrogen oxide discharged from the NOx removal equipment conformed sufficiently to the environmental criteria.　The team is conducting the verification of the Japan-class wind turbine design criteria and the demonstration study on an advanced wind turbine control technology. A LIDAR equipped with a nacelle is used to develop and evaluate technologies and devices to remotely measure the wind’s velocity and direction in the upstream side of the wind turbine from above the nacelle. In addition, the team measures and assesses the wind turbine noise with a sound-source surveying device to elucidate the noise properties and also conduct studies on noise reduction.[Characteristics]●KOMAIHALTEC Inc.
