Chilled water thermal energy storage (TES) has proven to be an effective technology for managing central cooling plants in some climates. Where it has been applied, this technology has often produced significant operating cost savings for owners, added flexibility to plant operations, and enhanced energy efficiency in the production of chilled water. At the center […]

Some years back, operators sought to improve aged steam turbines using combustion turbines in a process whereby a reduction gear and combustion turbine took the position of original components (steam turbines and boilers). Soon after, reverting to the generator proved expensive compared to the savings, so conversion of only a few components became the most […]

Air conditioning is so expensive that it is sometimes even difficult to place a figure on it. Many factors feature when you attempt to determine the cost of running an air conditioning system. Some of these are the level of service needed, amount of space being cooled and ambient air temperature. The common denominator is […]

Repowering has many meanings, all pointing at replacement or improvement of design for better results. For instance, in the renewable energy sector, many operators are opting to dismantle and replace old turbines with new ones at the existing project sites.

Both new and existing gas turbine power plants for combined-cycle, simple cycle, cogeneration and mechanical drive applications need Turbine Inlet Air Cooling (TIAC) technology for power output maximization and energy efficiency improvement.
