Adolfo Delgado of Texas A&M’s Turbomachinery Laboratory says component-level testing and development have significant impacts on the industry as a whole.

The contract represents over 100,000 hours of annual maintenance executed by a 30-person team, so EDF PEI can achieve 95% availability on power assets.

The new Propulsion and Energetics Research Laboratory makes safe, high-pressure, high-energy experiments possible for faculty and external researchers.

The Sea Dragon will conduct a range of operations, including gas crew changes, drilling support, field-safety standby, emergency towing, and ice management.

Once NextDecade permits, constructs, and operates Trains 6 through 8, the total liquefaction capacity will increase by approximately 18 MTPA.

Smart condition-monitoring strategies can mitigate unscheduled downtime by identifying faults before they occur, reinforcing continuous operation.

The acquisition will expand the range of high-performance components, shorten lead times, and offer greater service flexibility for customers in critical industries.

Women are making strides in the male-dominated turbomachinery and power generation fields, progressing in turbine efficiency, renewable energy integration, and power plant optimization.

Electrolysis-generated green hydrogen will be converted into e-methane, allowing the fuel to integrate within current natural gas infrastructures.

The next-gen engine features two stages of variable stator vanes, cooled high-pressure turbine blades, and additively manufactured components.

The mtu NautIQ and mtu EnergetIQ automation systems allow marine vessel and power-plant operators to fully control and monitor system data, assets, and user management from a single screen.

Bert Warner of the Propane Education & Research Council identifies three growth opportunities for propane: portable power generation, EV charging, and combined heat-and-power.

Rolls-Royce SMR's planned Generation 3+ modular nuclear power plants will feature Siemens Energy's steam turbines, generators, and other systems.

The company designed and supplied digesters, a prefabricated containerized pump-block system, heating and boiler containers, and a prefabricated factory-tested control container.

Bobby Noble of EPRI says gas turbines are “well sought after” thanks to data center power demands and shifts in the energy portfolio mix.

The contract’s wider resource opportunity across Kirkuk and the surrounding area is projected to include up to 20 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Cosmo Oil will combine its expertise in plant operations, fuel quality control, and logistics with Mitsui's capabilities in ethanol procurement to develop the project.

Combining 3D laser scanning and generative AI automates inspection processes, enhances service quality, and expedites equipment overhauls.

The company is working with partners to increase the feed-in of renewable electricity for the Friedrichshafen, Augsburg, and Aiken/USA plants and their local grids.

Jeffrey Benoit of PSM says there are no big technical barriers, “it’s a matter of getting these technologies into products and commercially operated gas turbines.”

With the detailed design review complete, GE Aerospace will execute a contract to procure, assemble, and test a XA102 full-scale demonstrator engine.

The IANUS project will also expand research laboratories and develop modular electrolyzers for large-scale, multi-MW industrial applications.

Kevin Lauzze of Sargent & Lundy discusses the rise of carbon-capture pilot projects and how technologies can successfully enter the market.

Klaus Payrhuber and Michael Collins of INNIO Jenbacher detail hydrogen engine demonstration projects that may bridge the gap created by renewables.

Billy Sanez of SpotSee also explains how temperature fluctuations may damage transformers, steam turbines, and other power generation equipment during transport.

Jeff Wirt of EnergyLink International and Paul DiMascio of ProEnergy explain how their ammonia direct injection system and dual-use catalyst improves NOx reduction.
