During this period, he gained valuable knowledge and experience in the design and procurement of the generator, production planning and control of the turbine and generator, technical leading and management of the new businesses, and application of new technology such as heavy ion therapy systems and superconducting.
His illustrious experience and expertise earned Mr. Murata the position of Technology Executive of Keihin Factory, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS), the parent company of Toshiba JSW, in 2020. In 2021, Mr. Murata was appointed as the Head of the New Business Unit in the Power System Division of Toshiba ESS.
Commenting on his appointment as MD, Toshiba JSW, Mr. Murata said, “Toshiba is dedicated to promoting sustainable development worldwide. At Toshiba JSW, we possess the expertise and experience to deliver high-quality power generation equipment and maintenance services to power plants, aimed at enhancing efficiency, minimizing downtime, and reducing carbon emissions. In my new role at Toshiba JSW, I aim to bolster our Make-in-India program and Export-from-India initiatives by expanding our business presence in overseas markets, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. By fully utilizing our world-class manufacturing facility in Chennai and the Global Engineering Centre in Gurgaon, we will provide high-quality products and services, supported by excellent installation supervision by our certified Indian technical advisors, to our customers in India and globally.”
Toshiba JSW is committed to improving and modernizing the power sector, accelerating the transition towards a carbon-neutral society. Toshiba JSW offers high-efficiency equipment and services to existing power plants, which can help reduce CO2 emissions and maintain high availability. Recently, Toshiba JSW has demonstrated its comprehensive service capabilities by restoring a unit to limited capacity power generation within a short span of 3 months following an unplanned shutdown due to low pressure (LP) turbine damage. Toshiba JSW also offers effective solutions for ’preventive maintenance’ by way of advanced digital IoT solutions like EtaPRO® for power plants, which further help in improving the efficiency and reliability of power-generating assets.
In addition, Toshiba JSW, in cooperation with Toshiba ESS, continues to provide a Carbon Dioxide Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) solution that helps separate and capture CO2 from its source, such as thermal power plants. The captured CO2 can later be used in a different form for a different purpose. Currently, Toshiba JSW engineers are undergoing extensive training and preparing to take up the work for CCUS in the future.
“Toshiba JSW operates a state-of-the-art heavy engineering manufacturing facility located in Chennai, which boasts modern high-precision machines and fabrication facilities. Our facility is perfectly suited for the manufacturing, assembly, and testing of large-sized precision components for thermal power and other industries. We offer comprehensive solutions to our clients through a Japanese quality management system, ensuring all their manufacturing needs are met under one roof. We have already manufactured products for other industries and are additionally in extensive talks with potential customers to offer our facilities for contract manufacturing for power as well as other industries,” Mr. Murata further added.
