Title: Yoichi Sugimori: Innovator in Power Generation Technologies
Introduction
Yoichi Sugimori is a prominent inventor based in Yokohama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of power generation, particularly in the development of advanced technologies for LNG and combined cycle power plants. With a total of 5 patents to his name, Sugimori continues to push the boundaries of innovation in energy solutions.
Latest Patents
One of Sugimori's latest patents is for an LNG power plant that features a sophisticated heating/cooling device. This device is controlled by a command generated by a temperature control device, which receives both the heating value and temperature of the fuel gas. The heating value detector identifies the heating value of the fuel gas introduced to a gas turbine power generation unit from an LNG vaporization facility. Additionally, the temperature detector measures the temperature of the fuel gas. The temperature control device's target temperature calculator computes a target temperature based on the heating value, while the command generator compares this target temperature with the fuel temperature to generate the necessary command.
Another notable patent is for a combined cycle power plant, which typically includes a gas turbine power facility, a heat recovery steam generator, a steam turbine power facility, and an existing boiler. This power generation plant incorporates a system for introducing steam generated in both the heat recovery steam generator and the existing boiler to the steam turbine. The design also features a system that branches off a line on the downstream side of a condenser, supplying condensed water back into the heat recovery steam generator and the existing boiler.
