“We have manufactured the smallest gas turbine in the country with the size of a shoe box and it can produce electricity and heat concurrently,” Seyed Mohammad Hassani, the executor of the plan in an Iranian company, said on Wednesday.

He added that the micro gas turbines can produce 2w to 10w of electricity, noting that the product enjoys high quality.

“We have been able to attract customers from European consumers and at present, we are having exports to Britain, Germany and Canada,” Hassani said.

Iran has taken wide strides in science and technology fields in recent years.

Iranian researchers built a new gas turbine with high power and efficiency in 2018, and launched it domestically and in Iraq.

“The micro gas turbine, B2MAP, has been fully produced and launched in an Iranian engineering company,” Morteza Nezamabadi, one of the designers of the turbine, told FNA at the time.

He added that the new gas turbine works with 185 mega power with the efficiency of 36.4.

“The turbines have been used in projects to build power plants in Iraq as well as the Iranian towns of Aliabad and Assalouyeh,” Nezamabadi said.

Iran unveiled the first home-made 25-megawatt wind turbine generator in Karaj city, near Tehran, in 2015.

The 25-MW wind turbine generator was unveiled in a ceremony attended by Iranian First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri.

The new generator has been manufactured by Iranian experts at MAPNA.
