Company patents

MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.

MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.'s patent strategy shows a significant shift away from its core areas, with Steam / Gas Turbines and Gas Turbine Plants, which collectively represent over 76% of its portfolio, experiencing sharp declines of -66.7% and -100.0% respectively in 2025. This suggests a surprising de-emphasis on traditional power generation components, while the emergence of patents in Power Distribution & Storage, Batteries & Fuel Cells, and Electrical Measurement in 2025, each with 1 patent, hints at a nascent pivot towards broader energy solutions and electrical infrastructure.

Turbine stator vane, gas turbine, and method of producing turbine stator vane

Filed:2020-04-08Pub:2023-12-05
Applicant:Mitsubishi Power, Ltd.

A turbine stator vane includes; an airfoil portion; a shroud disposed on at least one of the side of a tip end portion or the side of a root end portion of the airfoil portion; and a protruding portion protruding toward the opposite side to the airfoil portion across a gas path surface in a radial direction. The shroud includes: a circumferential-direction passage disposed at the side of a trailing edge and extending in a circumferential direction; and a plurality of trailing edge end portion passages arranged in the circumferential direction at the side of the trailing edge, each trailing edge end portion passage having a first end portion connected to the circumferential-direction passage and a second end portion having an opening on a trailing edge end surface of the shroud. The circumferential-direction passage includes, in a cross-sectional view as seen in the circumferential direction, an oblique passage having a third end portion to protrude closer to the gas path surface toward the side of a leading edge, and a fourth end portion formed at the side of the trailing edge with respect to the third end portion, the oblique passage having an opening portion disposed on a trailing-edge side end surface of the protruding portion and closed by a lid portion, and a position, in an axial direction, of the first end portion where each trailing edge end portion passage connects to the circumferential-direction passage is positioned at the side of the leading edge with respect to a position of the trailing-edge side end surface of the protruding portion at a position where the protruding portion connects to the shroud.
