Turbine Inlet Air Cooling

Advanced Refrigeration Systems for Power Plants

Sydney Smith (1771–1845) once said, “It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little”. In the context of our topic for today, this quote relates to the fact that energy efficiency is an inexpensive way of power plants to meet various both economic and ecological dem[..]

Best material for storing heat in Power Plants

The world is consuming more energy. In 2013, the US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) reported that the world would consume 56% more energy by 2040. While increasing the capacity of gas turbine generators may seem very logical, the capital intensity of this approach is often a hindrance. ARA[..]

Basics of fogging system for inlet air-cooling

Hot and humid summer weather affects turbine performance substantially, yet this is the most critical time for power plant service to users. A knee-jerk reaction would be to enhance installed turbine capacity to offset the deficit created by subdued performance and increased power demand. Instead of[..]

Indicators and improvements for power plant efficiency

The average temperature for most tropical regions is about 35° C. This and the accompanying high humidity spells doom for power plants in such regions unless something is done to counter the effects. Large scale power-generation relies on gas turbines, which have limitations at higher temperatures. [..]
