Abstract;The Okinawa Yanbaru Seawater Pumped Storage Power Plant has been completed in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa Prefecture by the Agency of Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). This facility, the first seawater hydroelectric power plant in the world, has been in operation since March 1999. Toshiba supplied the adjustable-speed system to the project as the fifth set of its kind, making our company the world's most experienced manufacturer. The applications of this adjustable-speed system will expand in the future, to encompass not only pumped storage power plants but also small and medium-size hydroelectric power plants and power system facilities.
