Many remote power projects are temporary in nature where the customer has off-grid operations requiring power from generators or turbines to supply electricity or needs operations ahead of the availability of line power from the regional electricity provider (as is described in the actual case study below). ...
Linnamae plant is located in northern Estonia in Jagala-river, about 1.5 km from the coast of Baltic Sea and 30 km east from the city of Tallinn. The original plant has been designed by Finnish professor Axel Verner Juselius in the year 1917 and it has been constructed during 1922-24. The plant has been exploded during the Second World War in 1941. The original plant consisted of spillover dam, ...
The magnitude of wind energy is determined by the combination of wind speed and air density. Suitable locations for wind power generation include open plains, islands, coastal areas, etc. Wind turbines can be easily divided into two categories: small wind turbines for household use and larger ones for commercial purposes. The ...
Because the airfoil must be capable to generate positive and negative lift, the airfoil should be symmetrical. ...
Despite the global pandemic, the wind energy sector had its strongest year in 2020, with a growth rate of 53% in new installations. Electricity generation from wind turbines now accounts for a considerable share of power generation worldwide. ...
Uptime is one of the key considerations for all power generators. Electricity supply must equal demand at all times. ...
PLTM Cilaki 1B power plant 3 turbine-generator units each of Pmax = 3.4 MW have been tested, commissioned and put into commercial operation since the first quarter of 2018 ...
These facilities range from chemical manufacturing to oil & gas refineries, and power generation is another industrial market where Romtec Utilities excels. ...
If power can be generated using local renewables, the up-front cost is almost always worth it. ...

“Alberta is going to move away from coal and towards clean power,” said Premier Rachael Notley when, in November, she announced a sweeping plan to accelerate the phase out of coal electricity and replace two thirds of it with renewable energy by 2030. ...
James Anderson of report authors Wind Energy Update said: “South African wind energy continues to establish itself this year as the Department of Energy and IPP office select preferred bidders for the latest round of the hugely successful Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Programme (REIPPP). The experts quoted in the report predict that continuing constraints to ...
This paper deals with exergo–economic analysis of a modern turboprop engine (CT7–9C) with a free power turbine used for a medium–range twin–engine transport plane that was jointly developed as a regional airliner and military transport. The investigated main components of the engine are the compressor, the combustor, the gas generator, the ...
This paper presents a study of second-law efficiency in a standard Brayton combined cycle power generation, using several paraffinic fuels ranging from methane to heptane. ...
This paper presents a comparative exergy study of the performance of various gas turbine power generation plants and a high temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). ...
A high efficiency of 60% in a combined-cycle power plant technology with fuels like gas or light oil is estimated to be achievable. On the other hand existing conventional coal-fired power plants based on steam generation have an efficiency of about ...
By doing this, the steam can be used for additional power generation in the steam turbine. The analysis of the occurring time-dependent processes are studied on a numerical basis, using the dynamic process simulation software APROS from VTT. ...
The liberalisation of the West European electricity and gas markets, technological developments in power technology and environmental policies are expected to stimulate continued strong growth in power generation gas consumption. This paper examines the importance of three frequently disregarded considerations in the analysis of expanded gas use ...
