New
York tidal plant to be licensed
The
US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) recommended
licensing Verdant Power's Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE)
Project, proposed for installation in the East Channel of the
East River in New York City. The proposed RITE Project would
use the natural tidal currents of the East River to generate
up to 1 megawatt (MW) of emission-free electricity via turbine
generator units anchored on the riverbed. Verdant Power has
proposed a three-phased development approach for the RITE
Project, beginning in 2012. The pilot project is estimated to
have an annual generation of 2.40 gigawatt-hours (GWh) after
the completion of Phase 3. Verdant Power would install its
5th
Generation Free Flow System through the proposed pilot
project, an updated version of the technology previously
demonstrated in the East River.

Incorporating
fuel chemistry
Gas
turbine engine designers are facing dramatic challenges in the
future as the fuels landscape continues to widen. Aviation gas
turbine regulations will force dramatic reductions in
pollutant emissions at both high and low power conditions in
the air and on the ground. Power producing gas turbines are
continually being asked to operate cleanly at low power
conditions due to the addition of other variable power sources
such as wind and solar.
