Now a day Hybrid cars are very popular amongst the buyers because its fuel-efficient and most importantly it’s an eco friendly car. Hybrid cars are those cars, which uses two or more distinct power sources to move the car. It uses a mix of energy sources, typically electric motors with traditional internal combustion engines.

The term hybrid vehicle is mostly refers to a Hybrid electric vehicle. These encompass such vehicles as the AHS2 (Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Silverado, Cadillac Escalade, and the Saturn Vue), Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, Ford Escape Hybrid, Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid and others. A petroleum-electric hybrid most commonly uses internal combustion engines (generally gasoline or Diesel engines, powered by a variety of fuels) and electric batteries to power electric motors. There are many types of petroleum-electric hybrid drive trains, from Full hybrid to Mild hybrid, which offer varying advantages and disadvantages.

Why Hybrid cars getting famous?
Hybrid cars are famous because of the technology, which is giving the extra power to the buyers, in terms of fuel efficiency, mileage, eco friendly etc. By next few years almost every automobile manufacturer must be producing at least one hybrid car to complete in the automobile market. It is considered to be the future of the automobile industry. Below are some of the basic advantages of buying a Hybrid cars comparing with other conventional cars:

1. A hybrid car gives an extra mileage between 20-30 miles per gallon.
2. In many cases of hybrid cars they are also faster in performance that of the gasoline engines offered in the same car.
3. Hybrid cars demand less Oil changes. In conventional cars oil change was required after every 3,000 miles which in case of hybrid cars are after every 5,000-6,000 miles.
4. Hybrids cars help in reducing the dependency on fossil fuels which directly affects fuel prices.
5. A hybrid car uses less gasoline, so it generates less pollution, because most hybrid cars are running with two different types of energy to power the car, gasoline and electricity.

Tokyo, - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has received an order from EDF (Electricite de France S.A.) to supply three replacement steam generators (RSG) for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant (NPP) in France. Their delivery will begin in 2016. The latest order brings the cumulative number of units ordered to MHI by EDF to 15 since the first order was placed in 2005.

EDF, headquartered in Paris, is the one of the world’s largest electricity suppliers, providing electricity to approximately 38.1million customers in Europe. The company operates 58 PWRs, and in line with its NPP component renewal program, is sequentially replacing the existing steam generators (SG) at its PWR NPPs, which went into operation in the 1980s. The three RSGs ordered will be used in the renewal of a 900 MWe (megawatts of electricity) class NPP.

Through international bidding, MHI received the latest RSG order jointly with France’s COMEX NUCLÉAIRE (CxN), a company with which MHI has been collaborating in NPP marketing in France since 2002. CxN, headquartered in Marseille, provides highly specialized services and maintenance for NPP facilities.

The RSGs on order, which measure 21 meters in height and weigh roughly 300 tons, will be manufactured at MHI’s Kobe Shipyard & Machinery Works. Their pressure-resistant container, made of low-alloy steel*, houses more than 4,000 heat transfer tubes made of a thermally treated alloy - TT690**, an advanced material. SGs play a crucial role in PWRs by transferring the thermal energy generated in the reactor vessel to a secondary coolant and feeding the resulting steam to a turbine system to generate electricity.

The SG also has the function as a pressure boundary to preserve primary coolant water under high-temperature and high-pressure environment. For this reason, manufacturing of SGs requires very sophisticated and ultra-precise technology plus an abundance of knowhow and experience related to design, welding, assembly and inspection. Therefore, only a limited number of companies in the world are capable of their production.

In recent years MHI has been vigorously expanding sales of its NPP equipment, attracting orders for 31 units of its RSGs from overseas, including this order, France, Belgium and the United States.

In response to increasing demand for NPPs and their components, MHI boosted the SG manufacturing capacity of the Kobe Shipyard & Machinery Works in July 2008 and completed construction of a plant dedicated to steam turbines for nuclear power generation at its Takasago Machinery Works in September 2009. The company also plans to complete expansion of a plant to manufacture nuclear reactor vessels and reactor internals at the Kobe Shipyard’s Futami Plant within the fiscal year ending March 2012. With these initiatives MHI is firmly establishing a structure that will enable production capacity expansion to accommodate the numerous new NPP construction projects planned worldwide, including Japan, as well as vigorous replacement demand for SGs and other components.

The latest order was awarded based on EDF’s recognition of MHI’s and CxN’s sophisticated engineering and technological expertise, product quality, reliability, and capability to adapt to the standards and licensing rules France requires, in addition to its abundant RSG delivery and operational track records and production capacity. Going forward, MHI and CxN’s will continue its robust marketing activities to further expand business in the global NPP market, including France, a leader in nuclear power generation, while also focusing on further enhancement of the safety and reliability of nuclear power generation.

* Steam generators are manufactured using strong low-alloy steel made of manganese, molybdenum and nickel steel, a combination highly resistant to the strong pressures characteristic of pressurized reactor (primary) and secondary coolants.

** TT690 is a thermally treated nickel-chromium-iron alloy offering enhanced resistance to stress corrosion cracks under high temperatures and pressures. It is used as a principal material of heat transfer tubes.

Tokyo, - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL), a government-owned company in India to which MHI has licensed technologies for thermal power plant-use pumps, jointly received an order for 18 pumps as part of steam turbine generator package to be installed at a new thermal power generation plant. The pumps on order are for Units 1 and 2 of a 1,320 MW (megawatt) supercritical-pressure coal-fired power generation plant to be built by NTPC Ltd. at Barh in Bihar, in eastern India - NTPC’s Barh II Project. This event marks the first order BHEL and MHI have received jointly. The delivery is scheduled in 2011.

The 18 pumps to be delivered are boiler feedwater pumps, boiler feedwater booster pumps and condensate pumps, six each. Three of each type will be installed respectively at the plant’s Units 1 and 2 (660 MW each).

BHEL was in charge of order-taking. For each pump type ordered, MHI will supply three units of assembled pumps to BHEL. For the remaining three units, MHI will supply components and parts for assembly at BHEL, which will install all pumps at the site.

BHEL, encompassing 14 plants, is India’s largest heavy electrical machinery manufacturer capable of handling the entire power plant construction process: from manufacture and supply of major components such as boilers, steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, generators and power transmission facilities to coordination of power plant construction on a turnkey basis. BHEL enjoys an overwhelming share in the domestic thermal power plant equipment market.

In 2007 MHI licensed to BHEL, design and production technologies of boiler feedwater pumps, boiler feedwater booster pumps, circulating water pumps and condensate pumps for subcritical- and supercritical-pressure thermal power plants with generation capacities between 500 and 1,000 MW.

NTPC, the largest government-owned electricity provider in India, plans to enhance its current 31,134 MW installed power generation capacity to 75,000 MW by 2017 in order to satisfy India’s growing electricity demand associated with the country’s robust economic growth. As an outgrowth of this mega-power generation capacity expansion plan, many large-scale projects are expected to take shape in the future.

MHI expects demand in India for supercritical-pressure coal-fired power plants with generation capacities in excess of 500 MW to increase significantly to accommodate the country’s enormous electricity needs. Supercritical-pressure coal-fired power generation uses higher steam temperatures and pressures than subcritical power generation, and is more fuel-efficient and friendlier to the environment. By reducing coal consumption relative to power output, it is possible to cut not only carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions but also fuel costs.

Boosted by the NTPC’s order, MHI will now further strengthen its relationship with BHEL and continue to contribute to easing India’s tight electricity supply while simultaneously supporting efforts to prevent global warming.

Tokyo, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed a new “GEA Series”of gear hobbing machines capable of processing large-size workpieces that exceed 1 meter in diameter. Marketing of the GEA1200, the first model in the series, will commence on May 27. Equipped with a highly rigid hob head and rotating table, the GEA1200 can accommodate high-efficiency, high-precision machining of gears up to 1,200 millimeters (mm) in diameter. Going forward MHI will explore a broad range of demand for heavy-duty machining applications, including production of step-up gears and gear reducers used in wind turbines and construction machinery.

The GEA1200 hobbing machine comes equipped with a 30 kilowatt (kW) main motor - a 60 kW option is also available - and a 1,200 mm diameter hydrostatic bearing table capable of bearing superimposed loads up to 15 tons. The large-size hob, with maximum diameter of 350 mm (option: 500 mm), rotates at a speed of 25 - 250 revolutions per minute and cuts gears - up to 20 modules* (option: 30 modules) - on workpieces. The GEA1200 is highly efficient and can reduce machining time by about 30% compared to existing hobbing machines of this size. The machine has secured JIS7 (Japanese Industrial Standards) class machining precision.

The GEA Series is part of MHI’s “Mitsubishi E Series” of new-generation gear machines designed for energy saving and high operability to meet global standards with regular specifications (without optional equipment). Machines in the E Series, which includes hobbing, shaping and gear grinding machines, all feature the same concept in order to facilitate the creation of production lines combining these machines. Many energy-saving features are standard, noise reduction and environmental friendliness have been maximized, and operability and maintenance ease have been enhanced.

In developing the GEA Series, MHI’s Machine Tool Division collaborated with the company’s Technical Headquarters in conducting various rigidity analyses relating to the basic structure of large-size gear cutting machines and measures for thermal displacement. Collaboration enabled the achievement of enhanced machine rigidity, a shorter development period, and improved machining efficiency.

Recently demand for large-size gears has been increasing for applications involving step-up gears and swivel parts in wind turbines, gear reducers and traversing gears used in construction machinery and deck cranes, and various gears used in servo presses, marine machinery and iron and steel manufacturing machinery. At the same time, high-efficiency and high-precision gear cutting machines are being sought globally. Also, for processing gears with diameters smaller than 1,000 mm, demand is increasing for machines capable of heavy-duty machining, which is difficult to perform using conventional hobbing machines. The GEA Series was developed to respond to all of these needs. Going forward MHI plans to develop and introduce models to accommodate even larger workpieces with diameters of 1,600 and 2,000 mm.

Spurred by the market launch of the GEA1200, MHI now looks to introduce gear shaping and gear grinding machines that can accommodate up to 2,000 mm diameter workpieces. At the same time, plans call for the company to establish a new business model encompassing after-sale services, maintenance and tool supply, primarily for large-size gear machines. By offering new values to gear manufacturers, MHI aims to secure stable orders and sales.
