With a desperate need for dispatchable generation, South Africa should be readily embracing CSP as a low-carbon, sustainable, base load energy alternative. So why do its energy authorities remain unconvinced? This question has formed the subject of Part 2 of the CSP Today South Africa Guide. London, UK October 11 2011 Forget green energy: while most nations are concerned about carbon ...

In the era of industry 4.0, most energy projects in Asia still enter commercial operation without a maintenance system in place. Instead, the operation and maintenance (O&M) team, already busy with start-up issues, struggles to gather technical documentation, to define paper-based procedures and when time allows, years later, to implement computerized system. For maintenance, the earlier the ...

Power generation means unleashing vast energy, transforming it, and harnessing it. Fossil fuel power plants tap into organic materials formed over the course of millions of years. Nuclear energy is an emissions-free source that comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to power industry and homes. When working with such colossal forces, it’s vital that the equipment and machinery used are ...

In the present work, gas turbine cycles are modified with steam injection between the combustion chamber exit and the gas turbine inlet. Heat recovery steam generators, utilising the exhaust gases, provide these cycles with the injected steam at saturated vapour. The irreversibility of the different composing units of the cycles and the variation of gas properties owing to steam injection as well ...

The Higley generating station was built in 1913 and is located on the Raquette River in the State of New York. The original plant contained threeFrancis turbines producing just over 4 MW of power. In 2002, a new plant was constructed next to the existing plant, for which CHC provided four 1500 mm axial flow turbines – two propeller and two Kaplan. The existing units remained in service ...

The paper describes models of the local network operation of the hydraulic turbine-generator unit. Two different models are proposed. They describe the dynamic behaviour of a system in which the unit is connected to an equivalent system. A nonlinear model of the interconnection to an equivalent power system is considered. An optimal controller for load disturbance rejection in water turbine speed ...

Today, combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants play a critical role in providing power grids with additional electricity during peak periods of high demand. By harnessing the energy from both combustion and steam turbines. CCGT plants use less fuel overall and can run longer than traditional "peaker' plants to produce cheaper electricity on demand. Depending on the condition of the region's ...
