Carving a future for gas turbines in the face of decarbonization, hydrogen, and sustainability.

This year, the Western Turbine Users, Inc. (WTUI) conference took place virtually over the course of several weeks. This article summarizes week one.

What will be the role of gas turbines and centrifugal compressors in the years ahead and how can they be designed to operate on hydrogen?

Turbomachinery, Oil & Gas, and Power Generation are all experiencing a greater frequency of attacks from cybercriminals.

Our Editor-in-Chief, Drew Robb, dedicates the May/June issue to the many component and auxiliary system vendors that form the turbomachinery supply chain.

Turbomachinery International has been a regular visitor to the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting (AM) in Florence, Italy. But this year, a virtual format had to suffice.

A stable renewable-rich grid needs transmission build-out, and incentivized ancillary services.

The Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Plant provides standby power to the local grid as well as offering spinning reserve availability to the region.

The filtration of gas turbine inlet air has always been important. But its profile has been raised as more becomes known about filtration efficiency, the need to filter out small particulate and the role of filtration in overall turbine performance.

Turbomachinery controls and instrumentation have been relatively slow to evolve. But an unprecedented wave of technological innovation over the past decade is bringing about drastic change.

Baker Hughes moves on from GE, pushes A.I., digitalization, 3D printing and carbon capture.
