GE recently announced at POWER-GEN Middle East, in Doha, Qatar, the availability of its new GE TS1000 coalescer that delivers improved plant performance and lower maintenance costs.

The Cascading Closed Loop Cycle (CCLC) system discussed in the previous part of this series has several drawbacks that can be fully overcome by applying a modified Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system.

Re-engineering using computer modelling

In the previous part of this series, we saw how energy efficiencies of aircraft jet engines jumped, and how significant advancements were made further. In this article, we will discuss how the combined cycles can be optimized for increased efficiency and maximum power output.

Every 10,000 miles driven in an electric vehicle (EV) equates to the amount of power needed by one home in the USA for a year, said Donald Karner, President and CEO of electric vehicle (EV) vendor ECOtality North America, at this year’s PowerGen conference.

Accurate meausurements could deliver better control

The key player in the projected energy plan burning the new shale gas is the internal combustion gas turbine using the Brayton Cycle, invented by George Brayton in 1870. In his invention, air was compressed and delivered to a combustion chamber where liquid fuel was injected and burned directly with the air. The hot gases then went to an expander.

FlexEnergy Inc. has shipped three of its Flex Turbine MT250s to BP, to help the energy group further reduce its carbon footprint at its Wamsutter, WY, water disposal facility, through a contract with Power Service Inc. 

Energy sector professionals from the South Asian countries have estimated a rich potential of approximately 16,000 MW of microhydro power in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

GE announced recently it would supply a 48-megawatt (MW) LM6000-PC Sprint aeroderivative gas turbine and related services to Turkey's independent power producer Bis Enerji Elektrik Uretim AS for expansion. This is an attractive solution offering high output power, 10-minute start-up capabilities, best-in-class reliability, highly efficient operation, low emissions and fuel-flexibility.
