Today, combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants play a critical role in providing power grids with additional electricity during peak periods of high demand. ...
Combined cycle power plants that harness energy from both combustion and steam turbines use less fuel overall, and can produce longer run times than traditional peaker plants that have long been used to produce electricity on demand. ...
Boiler Water Treatment Located NE of Abu Dhabi, UAE, Taweelah Power Plant is a desalinization facility generating power with the help of gas & steam turbines. The power plant has been using polyamines to treat their steam boilers water for more than 14 years. 10 boilers x 600 t/h each 100 ...
Lanco Kondapalli Power is an Independent Power Project (IPP) located at Kondapalli Industrial Development Area near Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, India. ...
Nowadays there are several efficient technologies and equipment to solve one of the major environmental problems: the treatment and disposal of polluting Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Waste treatment equipment may generate energy in the form of steam, hot water or electricity, which can be recovered for the production processes of the ...

Steam turbines are elegant in their simplicity. Water turns to steam; steam rotates the turbines; energy is transformed into electricity. But this simplicity belies incredible complexities in their operations and tiny intricacies in their build. These intricacies demand a rigorous testing practice to make sure that the turbines work safely. Increasingly, these turbines are tested using Phased ...
Water and power are intimately connected in the U.S. and around the world. In 2015, electric power generation was responsible for 41% of total water withdrawals in the United States, according to the U.S. ...
The crown jewel of these efforts came in the form of Ouarzazate Solar Power Station, a massive complex of solar power collectors. Ouarzazate Solar Power Station progresses in phases, separate installations named Noor 1 through 3. Noor 1 Noor 1 is a concentrated solar power facility with the total capacity of 160 MW. The ...
And increasingly, nations are turning to geothermal to deliver that stability. Geothermal power plants draw hot water up from the ground and use the energy it contains to spin electricity-generating turbines. ...

Sulzer completed an overhaul of three General Electric steam turbines and five Clark compressors for a large ethylene plant in Colombia. ...
This paper presents an exergoeconomic optimisation of 50 MW steam turbine power plant associated with a large fertiliser industrial unit through Thermoeconomic Evaluation and Optimisation (TEO) method, and identifies the losses in various components. ...
In this present work, the development and implementation of a tribological failure knowledge model (KM) for steam power plant equipment is reported. This failure KM assists the maintenance engineer and design engineer for evolution of an effective maintenance strategy and better, reliable, safe and productive design. The KM has been implemented using Protege 3.0 ...
During one of the routine inspections in a nuclear power plant, it was found that a tenon of one of the third-stage blades of the Low-Pressure (LP) turbine had been worn/broken off the turbine blade, leaving only the remaining tenon riveted to the shroud piece. ...
This paper appraises the current development status of the 700?C steam power plant under consideration of process optimisation as well as design aspects of the steam turbine and steam generator. ...
The present study was done to investigate the performance differences in terms of thermal efficiency and specific power output of: combined cycle power plants with integration of low temperature regenerative heat, standard gas turbines operated in wet cycle mode, turbo expanders and steam turbines (here: ...
By doing this, the steam can be used for additional power generation in the steam turbine. ...
In this paper, the effect of steam injection in the combustion chamber on the exergy efficiency of a gas turbine was investigated. Cycle exergy efficiency, net power output and exergy destruction have been calculated for different mass flow rates and temperature of the injected steam. The range of variation of the mass flow rate ...
