The new turbine offered a combination of record output, efficiency and a proven 99.5% reliability during its 11,000 hours of commercial operation.
Upon replacing older coal fired power plants, the new enhanced JAC can reduce nearly 70% of CO2 emissions.
MHPS Americas president and CEO Paul Browning said: "And now MHPS is revolutionizing the Advanced Class one more time with an air-cooled J-Series that's larger and more efficient than any other turbine.
“Utilities and IPPs around the globe have technically selected seven JAC turbines recently, signaling they recognize that only one turbine on the market today can provide the lowest cost of electricity and the lowest investment risk."
The enhanced JAC gas turbine adds an air-cooled combustor to the steam-cooled J-series, offering enhanced flexibility to plant operators.
MHPS said that at Takasago Machinery Works in Japan its T-Point facility conducted full-speed full load testing of the JAC and thousands of hours of reliability verification in commercial operation.
The air-cooled version of the turbines has now accumulated more than 11,000 hours of commercial operation at a record reliability of 99.5%.
MHPS turbine products headquarters head Akimasa Muyama said: “Our fundamental approach at MHPS is to use a combination of highly instrumented short term testing at different speeds and loads, followed by long-term reliability verification at T-Point before we release a first of kind product enhancement.”
MHPS manufactures and ships the JAC units from its Savannah Machinery Works in Georgia, as well as the Takasago Works in Japan.
