One of the challenges that CCGT plants face in this regard is starting their steam turbines quickly after being offline. In a combined cycle power plant, a gas turbine initially generates electricity. The waste heat from the gas turbines is then captured via a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), which produces ...
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). ...
Combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) play a critical role in providing power grids with additional electricity, supporting reliability and resilience during periods of high demand. ...
Year: 2017 Running Gear: Vertical shaft Kaplan turbine with synchronous generator. Scope: Replacement control system and exciter. ...
Year: 2021 Running Gear: 2 Vertical shaft Francis turbines with synchronous generators Scope: Replacement of control system, exciters, and HPUs Originally part of a large cotton mill complex in North Carolina dating back to the 1800s, this 1 MW hydropower plant stayed in operation into the 2000s, longer than the rest of the declining mill town. ...
Year: 2018 Running Gear: Three units: One vertical shaft Francis turbine with synchronous generator. One horizontal shaft turbine with synchronous generator. One horizontal shaft double-runner turbine with synchronous generator. Scope: Replacement control system, switchgear, and HPU. ...
Year: 2018 Running Gear: 2 Vertical shaft Francis turbines with synchronous generators Scope: Replacement of control system and exciters This hydroelectric plant is located in central MA on a highly developed river, with multiple hydro plants operating both upstream and downstream of the project. Originally constructed in 1918 by a local manufacturing ...
Year: 2022 Running Gear: 2 vertical shaft Francis turbines with synchronous generators Scope: Replacement of control system, excitation, and governors Set in a resort town in the mountains of North Carolina, this hydroelectric project was originally constructed in 1925-1926 by a private developer. ...
Year: 2016 Running Gear: 3 units: Vertical shaft synchronous generator driven by a Francis turbine. Vertical shaft synchronous generator driven by a propeller turbine, and a vertical shaft induction generator driven through a flat belt by a Kaplan turbine. ...
This is the first install for the T-MH turbine. The turbine was tested with francis and propellor runners. Several different generators and alternators were also tested. ...
The original plant consisted of spillover dam, fishsteps, dam sluice, three turbine chambers and generator house behind the chambers. There have been three horizontal axel 350 kW ...
Power plant projects are complex and expensive, especially for developing countries. Financing them can be a challenge, even with the excellent payout of TransVit installations. ...
It is suitable for wind power generation in open plains, islands, coastal areas, etc. The power generated by small-scale wind turbines for household use is about AC 13V~25V. ...
It will use 67,000 green tonnes/year of locally-sourced class A – C wood waste diverted from landfills to produce steam that will be converted into electricity through a steam turbine and generator system. ...
There’s been a lot of discussion around sustainable energy solutions over recent years. Governments and businesses are taking initiatives to undo the damage done from years of unabated use of fossil fuels. People are now desperate to adopt sustainable sources of energy. The governments and big businesses have jumped on board, too, as they realize that traditional energy sources aren’t ...
Because the airfoil must be capable to generate positive and negative lift, the airfoil should be symmetrical. ...
Then, when the impulse of the wind turns the propellers of the generator, the turbine transforms the kinetic energy into direct current. ...
Oil & Gas The ORC systems of Zuccato Energia allow the production of electricity up to 500 kW by recovering the waste heat from the Oil & Gas plants. Applications: It is possible to recover heat from each hot source present on the site: the hot water from the oil extraction, the fumes deriving from flaring, the thermal waste from the refineries, and the engines located in the natural ...
