GENERATORS: Lessons learned, best practices shared at GUG 2017

There are nearly as many electric generators at fossil-fired and nuclear powerplants as there are gas and steam turbines combined. So, you might think that with thousands of utility/large industrial-grade generators rated more than 25 MW operating in the US alone, the annual meeting of the Generator Users Group (GUG) would draw hundreds of attendees.

First, the seven systems are located at two generating facilities acquired by the utility in 2014. Second, it is challenging to test a retrofit, due to air permit

COMMENTARY: What the digital revolution means for electricity

What’s happening inside the fast-growing, hugely profitable, digital behemoths—one characterization is the “Big Five,” namely, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft—may be more important than what the electricity industry sees from the outside.

Multiple organizations create new challenges for plant operators

Once upon a time, a vertically integrated utility was responsible for electricity supply—soup to nuts, that is, from the powerplant to the customer’s meter. Today, responsibility for over half of US power production rests with non-utility entities. Like most big industry shifts, this transition has led to greater efficiencies in some areas, challenges in others.
