Auxiliary Boilers Can Reduce Cold-Start Times for CCGTs
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. 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 ...

Enhancing the dynamic performance of electricity production in steam power plants by the integration of transient waste heat sources into the feed-water pre-heating system
Since the deregulation of the energy market the enhancement of steam power plant's dynamic performance has become more and more important. Nowadays, peak load is a profitable product at the energy stock markets if it can be provided reliably. This is in contrast to many power plants running constantly at full load. A very promising technique to improve the peak load capability of such power ...

CHP: Not the Brad and Jen of energy, but….
I hesitate to start this blog with the words “combined heat and power.” You might stop reading. Okay, so it’s not the Brad and Jen of energy. (That would be solar and wind.) But what it lacks in glamor, it makes up for in constancy and results. It’s an old guy, been around for about a century. And while its name might not sound green, it offers an extraordinarily ...

Plan B efficiency and conservation measures drop energy demand by 2020
Projections from the International Energy Agency show global energy demand growing by close to 30 percent by 2020, setting the stage for massive growth in the carbon dioxide emissions that are warming our planet. But dramatically ramping up energy efficiency would allow the world to not only avoid growth in energy demand but actually reduce global demand to below 2006 levels by 2020. We can ...

Focus Bioenergy No 6 2004: Waste - a source of energy of growing significance
We have to use the earth’s resources sparingly. Waste products that society generates can be recycled or used as a source of energy. Heat and electricity from waste combustion and biogas from digestion contribute some 8 TWh annually in Sweden. Waste stands for about 2 percent of used fuels in Swedish district heating. The importance of waste will rise rapidly in the near future. The potential for ...

The first supermarket in Portugal Case Study
Biowaste production is estimated to be 120 million tonnes per year in the EU alone, increasing by 10% each year. At least 40% of this is landfilled or incinerated with only 25% energy recovery, due to a lack of alternatives. When the Portuguese supermarket chain Continente looked for ways of reducing their operating costs and tackling their carbon footprint, SEaB Energy’s ...
