Critical facilities such as hospitals, police and fire stations, and even telecom sites and data centers, play vital roles in disaster response and recovery. This sector provides protection, communication, and emergency services essential to public safety and welfare. To meet the changing needs of society, this industry is evolving and so is its electrical infrastructure. I sat down with ...
The first is that gas turbine technology is most important in China. For the gas fired power plants, all the key technologies are provided by foreign companies like GE, Siemens and Mitsubishi. Some Chinese companies can provide complementary technologies, but the key technologies are in the hands ...
A Sulzer customer manages a combined heat and power plant that supplies a large city with electricity and district heating. ...
When we talk about a CSP plant, we talk about two main components. The solar filed, which generates heat and the power block that converts the heat into steam and feeds it into the turbine. ...
Coal Is the Dominant Energy Source Globally Coal continues to make up a large share of global power generation, despite the negative health and environmental effects of coal-powered power plants. ...
The aims of the research are to describe the R&D practices in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) concerning innovation strategy and processes; and to analyse how KAERI is catching up their technological capabilities in nuclear fuel related technology, and what the success factors of KAERI are. ...
But Fukushima triggered a re-think about the safety of nuclear power plants. South-East Asian countries, earlier inclined towards nuclear power (especially the Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand), are now at the crossroads, quietly revisiting the arguments for and against nuclear plants. Planning for ...
In this paper is presented NUTEMA (Nuclear Power Plant Technology Management System) an IT innovative system dealing with the nuclear technology. The overall goal is to offer a framework capable to present in one room whatever is concerned with a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) unit implementing ...
Breakthrough photovoltaic concentrators producing ultra high efficiencies have been developed by Solar Systems (an Australian company) and deployed in a number of projects, on a relatively small scale in collaboration with the Australian Government. Beginning with an AUD$0.424 Billion, 154MW phase in Australia, this project aim to deploy at least 1GW of power stations technology across Australia, ...
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 ...
During the last two years, this system became the standard diagnostic system infrastructure for internal use in Siemens Power Generation, which integrates a large data archive of measured data and capabilities for data analysis and evaluation. Besides this internal use, today some 15 power plants worldwide use web4diagnostics in their companies ...
Global energy model GEM-10R has been used to analyse the possible conditions and scale of using space and terrestrial solar power plants in the long-term perspective (up to the end of the 21st century). Different external conditions, when these alternative energy technologies may be feasible, have been revealed and discussed.Keywords: global ...
The first plant for high temperature utilisation of higher heating value was realised under industrial conditions in a combined heat and power plant. The technology results in an increased heat recovery temperature and a stronger dehumidification of the flue gas. Beyond that, the use of large solution flow within an adiabatic ...
This paper examines past experience in controlling emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from coal-fired electric power plants. In particular, we focus on US and worldwide experience with two major environmental control technologies: flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems for SO2 control and selective catalytic reduction ...
Nuclear power engineering is developing steadily in industrial countries. This is caused by features of using nuclear fuel and high environmental safety of nuclear power stations. At the same time, the thermodynamic efficiency of nuclear power stations is lower than indices of thermal power stations operating on gas, coal or oil fuel. This efficiency does not usually exceed 30–35%. Hence more ...
Due to the considerable advancements in fossil power plant technologies, the relative importance of other activities increases in the fossil energy systems. ...
