Plant Optimization
Emerson’s James Fraser on automation, optimizing data from renewables
Emerson is touting its Ovation Green platform, which the company says will drive faster, more informed decisions surrounding renewable assets.
Researchers say new coating could boost efficiency at coal and gas plants
The coating will now be tested under industrial conditions at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Abbott Power Plant.
Trace metal analyses for corrosion monitoring in cogeneration condensate systems
A revisit of several steam generator feedwater iron analyses and why copper monitoring is needed at cogeneration facilities.
Wet limestone FGD solids analysis by thermogravimetry
Thermogravimetry (TGA) is an analytical method that can improve scrubber performance and eliminate time-consuming and often inaccurate wet-chemistry test methods.
Grid-edge R&D and natural gas power plant wow attendees of POWERGEN 2023
Cutting edge power technology is a cornerstone of every POWERGEN International, the annual event for the power generation industry.
Constellation extends nuclear maintenance contract with Allied Power
Constellation plans to ask the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend the operating licenses of multiple plants by an additional 20 years.
GSE to develop hydrogen plant model for NuScale SMR simulator
The idea is to modify the existing NuScale control room simulator to include GSE’s models for hydrogen production. This would include modeling for a solid oxide electrolysis system to produce hydrogen, in addition to a fuel cell for electricity production.
Model aims to optimize black start grid restoration
Researchers say the model can help provide insight into how individual power generators, distribution substations and power lines would react during the process of restoring power.

Why digitalization is crucial to the nuclear industry delivering on its potential
Nuclear has a key role to play in the net zero energy system of the future, but if it’s to unlock its true potential then it must embrace digitalization, writ…
Advanced cooling water treatment concepts (Part 2)
This installment examines the general chemistry of phosphate replacement technologies that have proven effective in many applications….
Advanced cooling water treatment concepts (Part 1)
The issues outlined here are leading to substantial movement away from traditional cooling water scale/corrosion treatment programs….
Guidelines for effective HRSG inspections
Neglected or haphazard unit inspections can lead to equipment failures, and even more importantly, potentially jeopardize employee safety….
Using digital twins to better understand weather impacts on generation dispatch decisions
Higher temperatures mean increased demand and reduced output from air-breathing assets, such as gas turbines. Accurate weather forecasts are also hard to come b…
How proactive asset management benefits power plant productivity, safety, and security
A proactive maintenance strategy prevents the occurrence of asset failures or breakdowns in production processes. These measures aim to identify and eliminate t…
DOE work leads to superalloys that stand up to power plant cycling
A six-year project backed by the U.S. Department of Energy and involving Energy Industries of Ohio Inc. and other partners has led to the manufacture of commerc…
WATCH: AVEVA on data management in the power generation sector
AVEVA’s David Thomason spoke with Clarion Energy at CERAWeek about the future of cloud-based platforms for managing power plant data and how an increase in dist…
How Duke Energy addresses attemperator issues
When combined cycle plants are run at low loads, problems often arise with overspray from attemperators using traditional mechanical atomization. To address t…
