For 50 years, as gas turbines and combined cycle plants hold dominant positions in the power generation industry, we continue to put editorial emphasis on advanced technology development and applications, and new plant installations, always with an eye on equipment costs and issues related to operation and maintenance.
Siemens has committed to gradually increasing the hydrogen capability of its gas turbines to at least 20% by 2020, and 100% by 2030. The first goal has already been achieved, with projects in place involving two SGT-600 turbines at Braskem in Brazil.
As a result of collapsing oil prices and the global Covid-19 pandemic, we've revised the annual 10-year Market Forecast of Global Industrial Gas Turbine Sales.
Power demand is not restricted to safe and stable locations. Power plants also operate in locations where there is a high risk, be it man-made or natural hazards. Carrying out operation and maintenance on large, static power plants under such circumstances can be challenging, and dealing with these challenges requires planning and preparation one wouldn’t consider in secure locations. How does one deal with such challenges? GTW has been examining the issue.

Edison IPP in Italy in partnership with Ansaldo Energia will soon build a gas-fired 760MW combined cycle plant at an estimated cost of €370 million ($415 million) in Presenzano in the province of Caserta.
Suncor Energy has placed an order with Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems for two M501JAC advanced class gas turbines and two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) for a future cogeneration facility at the Suncor’s Oil Sands Base Plant facility near Fort McMurray, Alberta.
SK Engineering & Construction has contracted for Siemens to supply the power island equipment for an IPP combined cycle project that Yeoju Energy Services is developing in Gyeonggi province.
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems completed a shipment of M701JAC gas turbines in early December for the first of two gas-fired 2650MW combined cycle IPP stations under development on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand.
Take this brief editorial survey on how useful you find the annual GTW Handbook issue.
