Toshiba Corporation, Kobe Steel Ltd. and Keio University announced that they have been selected by Japan's Ministry of Environment to develop and verify a hybrid power control system for concentrated solar power, wind turbine and biomass binary power generation. The companies aim to develop a stable hybrid power control system for CSP, wind turbine and a biomass binary power generating system and provide feed-in to the grid. The system will be based on an existing 1.5 MW wind turbine in combination with a new CSP system and biomass binary power generating system. The binary power generating system integrates a chip boiler that produces steam to drive a turbine by heating a working medium with a low boiling point. It will also deliver hot water to the system's users. The total construction cost is expected to be around JPY 680 million, half of which will be covered by a subsidy from Ministry of Environment.
