PowerGen International 2024 Focuses on Decarbonization
Keynote speakers at this year’s PowerGen International event included a DOE spokesperson, an Entergy executive, and an executive from Microsoft. Here is what they had to say about decarbonization, grid resilience, and the future of energy.
Carbon Capture and Storage Ramping Up
CCS has been moving at a snail’s pace for many years. However, we are now experiencing a surge of interest as shown by the number of carbon capture projects now getting the green light.
Unlocking Hydrogen’s Power Potential
The much-vaunted hydrogen economy has several major roadblocks standing in its way. Not the least of these is the availability of hydrogen for power generation.
Ammonia vs Hydrogen: is Ammonia a Better Alternative Fuel?
Hydrogen continues to dominate the headlines about alternative fuels. But ammonia is gaining more support as a solution that may work better in certain use cases.
Synchronous Condensing Demand Boosts Gas Turbine Sales
Renewable energy sources are frequently blamed for the overall decline in gas turbine orders over the past ten years. However, renewables are actually generating high demand for peaking turbines in some regions.
Old Inlet-Fogging Idea Gets New Life
Gas turbine power plant users of fog-based power augmentation are changing their minds about the best position for fogging nozzles. Is it better to be upstream or downstream of the inlet air filters?
Gas Turbine costs $/KW
With Combined Cycle plants, the benchmark prices for complete EPC plant scope (installed), we are seeing a range from $1,579/KW for 34MW output, to as low as $670/KW for 1,680MW power output.
Hydrogen infrastructure: standardization vs flexibility
Wide-ranging advances are taking place in the energy transition, from R&D to development of a large hydrogen hub now under construction.
Preventing Tilting Pad Fluttering in gas turbine bearings
Tilting pad fluttering in bearings for high-performance turbomachinery can cause severe problems such as bearing damage and rotor vibrations. The R&D team at Miba Bearings came up with a solution.
