The benefits of a digitalized, software-driven world for turbomachinery include the capacity to handle large amounts of data. Now, engineering teams can run larger, more complex simulations using cloud services and pass data seamlessly between teams.
The Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Plant provides standby power to the local grid as well as offering spinning reserve availability to the region.
The ERCOT grid in Texas works well with renewable energy. But increasing the volume of renewables further may not be practical. More generation of all types and greater attention to winter readiness is needed.
A stable renewable-rich grid needs transmission build-out, and incentivized ancillary services.
Many of us have to verify compressor and driver performance in the field. We do a test, read the data, and convert it to flow, head, and some other parameters. Voila, we have done a valid test and we believe our data. Not so fast!
There are many reasons for turbomachinery problems and failures. Resonance, for example, is often overlooked.
Remote monitoring and drones joint the maintenance & repair toolkit
Many attendees and speakers at the 39th Annual CERAweek wanted to know about the contemplated transition from fossil fuels to green energy. How fast will it happen? What has gone right so far? What could go wrong? Ask three energy experts, get three different answers. Ask three politicians, get nine different answers.
New research shows new ways for engineers to prevent the build up of minerals in power plants and possibly use salt water instead of fresh water for cooling.

The binary unit will use the geothermal brine of two existing flash power plants onsite to produce 3.6 GW of additional power.
Design capacity reported a small increase, and demonstrated peak capacity reported a small decrease. The growing trend toward more natural gas-fired electricity generation generally encourages more storage capacity.
The investment group penned a letter to the Public Utility Commission of Texas proposing big investments in Texas by constructing 11 gas-fired power plants.

Sicker, a 30-year veteran of the company, holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Ohio State University, along with an MBA from Akron University.
MAN Energy Solutions’ paper-industry vacuum systems registered a record level of incoming orders in the tissue sector in the first quarter of 2021 where a total of 11 contracts were signed with customers across all global regions.
Siemens Energy will supply a gas and steam turbine to a 390 MW combined cycle power plant in Côte d’Ivoire.

s part of its announcement, the company outlined its ongoing organic hydrogen product development goals and recent pursuit of external research and development funding via multiple government cost share programs.
CO2 emissions in the U.S. electric power sector have dropped 28% over the last decade primarily due to coal-to-natural gas switching.
Although all NGCC generators tend to increase or decrease utilization in response to changes in the price of natural gas, older units tend not to be used when natural gas prices rise because they are less efficient and more expensive to run than newer technology units.
