Siemens Energy is to build a gas-fired power plant for grid-related equipment in Bavaria

MTU Power and Amazonas GT have signed a maintenance, repair, and overhaul agreement for five LM6000 turbines

Nearly three-quarters of Americans support oil and natural gas transport via pipeline

What will be the role of gas turbines and centrifugal compressors in the years ahead and how can they be designed to operate on hydrogen?

Mitsubishi Power Aero installs five 30 MW FT8 MobilePac aeroderivatives in Mexico

Capstone Green Energy signed a 10-year service contract for two Capstone C1000S systems installed in Mexico

Bakken Energy and Mitsubishi Power have signed an agreement to create a hydrogen hub in North Dakota.

Reducing maintenance costs by upgrading aging inlet air-cooling systems.

Summit of Bangladesh received delivery of a GE 9HA.01 gas turbine at a power plant located near Dhaka

The microturbine will operate on hydrogen at an offshore DC-power based microgrid that will support offshore research and aquaculture for food production.

Expander-compressor units provide refrigeration for extracting heavier hydrocarbon components while having low energy costs.

The initial stage of the project aims to provide proof of concept for a DC microgrid with multiple renewable sources that can support a sustainable seafood production project in Australia. Subsequently, a full marinization and commercialization of the system will be completed to support remote, offshore operation.

Technologies are emerging to perform maintenance, repairs, retrofits, and overhauls while gauging asset health remotely. Drones are being deployed for inspections. Some parts can be scarce, so plant operators are increasingly seeking alternatives.

A stable renewable-rich grid needs transmission build-out, and incentivized ancillary services.

The Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Plant provides standby power to the local grid as well as offering spinning reserve availability to the region.

The power generation industry is in transition with increasing momentum to reduce carbon emissions. Each year more renewable-based power is generated, changing the traditional electrical grid model. However, the grid still requires firming with dispatchable assets. In the future, these assets may need to have reduced or zero carbon emissions.

Wherever heat is available and there is a demand for power, you are likely to find one of turbomachinery’s oldest and world-changing inventions – the industrial steam turbine (ST). The technology has come a long way since its first modern manifestation in 1884, persisting through every market boom and bust.

The filtration of gas turbine inlet air has always been important. But its profile has been raised as more becomes known about filtration efficiency, the need to filter out small particulate and the role of filtration in overall turbine performance.
