Cover Focus: Gas Top Plants
A Holistic Model for Industrial Gas Power: Dearborn Central Energy Plant
At the heart of Ford Motor Co.’s Research & Engineering Center campus is a unique combined heat and power plant capable of delivering 34 MW of power, up to 225,000 pounds/hour of steam for campus space heating, as well as hot and chilled water for campus buildings. Furthermore, it can store chilled water to help minimize on-peak electrical demand.

Upgrades and Interconnection Make Gas-Fired Plant a Winner
A three-year project to upgrade a cogeneration combined cycle power plant, and integrate it with a nearby refinery, involved several steps and resulted in a remarkable increase in efficiency for the refinery, including bettering the facility’s flexibility.

Promising Power Plant Plots Province’s Future
An advanced combined cycle gas-fired power plant in Saskatchewan that incorporates a local workforce, including Indigenous businesses, is today an integral part of the province’s plan for cleaner, more efficient power generation. The SaskPower facility plays a key role as Canada continues to phase out coal-fired electricity production.

It’s Fair to Say—New Plant Brings Benefits to Pennsylvania
A Pennsylvania power plant is a showcase for today’s modern gas-fired facilities, with increased reliability, lower emissions, and broad fuel flexibility. The plant was built on a brownfield site, which created construction challenges, but it still was completed months ahead of schedule, and with an outstanding safety record.

The 470-MW Floating Powership That Buoyed Ghana
The Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan is providing power to Ghana, using indigenously
produced natural gas. The vessel, which previously burned heavy fuel oil, was relocated to a naval base on Ghana’s southern coast late in 2019.

Features:
Distributed Energy
Gearing Up for Grid Integration
Growth in the use of distributed energy resources (DERs) has brought challenges for grid operators and utilities, as they seek to integrate DERs onto the power grid and into their generation portfolios, respectively. And along with the technical issues comes disagreement among policymakers about what role government should play in incentivizing the adoption of solar, wind, and other non-traditional energy resources.

Power-to-X
A High Energy Potential: Power-to-Heat
Power industry observers point to “power-to-heat” applications as technology that could provide more immediate decarbonization benefits. It’s part of the conversation about the electrification of buildings and space heating and cooling, typically through heat pumps or boilers.

Plant Decommissioning
Power Plant Decommissioning Tips to Save Time, Money, and Hassle
Experts in the decommissioning of power plants share their knowledge of the process, providing best practices that can help ensure a project is executed safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. And when the site is being repurposed, they know it’s best to start a project with the end goal in mind.

Plant commissioning
How to Conduct Steam Blowing Procedures with Remote Personnel
A power project in Bangladesh recently achieved a significant milestone. Managers at Larsen & Toubro Ltd. found a way to complete steam blow requirements in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, using secure internet connections to operate the gas turbine from a remote location.

Microgrid
An ‘Everything as a Grid’ Approach to Energy Production
Commercial and industrial businesses can take more control of their energy costs by making their electrical infrastructure work harder, bringing business benefits that can do more than just enhance the bottom line.
