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.
