Best Practices

The first thing to note about the GE presentations made at the 2020 virtual conferences of Power Users’ Combined Cycle, Power Plant Controls, Steam Turbine, and Generator Users Groups is that you’re probably going to want to listen to the recordings, if you’re approved to access them at the OEM’s MyDashboard website. For the Power […]

A 480-MW 1 × 1 combined cycle was experiencing NOx emissions above its 2-ppm stack permit limit. The problem was more pronounced with supplementary firing, so the plant was restricted both in its level of duct firing and overall output. This HRSG, which incorporates a heat-recovery section directly upstream of the SCR (the “box” in

A presentation entitled “Does Your Backup System Work—Really?” during Week Three of the Combined Cycle Users Group (CCUG) 2021 virtual conference reminds why user groups can be worth their weight in gold. The presenter, asset manager for a 600-MW, 2 × 1 combined cycle with Siemens 501FD gas turbines and a KN steam turbine/generator, reviewed

The COMBINED CYCLE Journal and the steering committees of the industry’s leading gas-turbine users groups—including 7F, 501F, 501G, 7EA, Western Turbine, Frame 6, 501G, 501D5-D5A, AOG, and V—collaborate to expand the sharing of best practices and lessons learned among owner/operators of large frame and aeroderivative gas turbines. Thirty-one plants listed below participated in the 2021

We’re supposed to embrace change, but let’s face it, change is unavoidable. It occurs with every passing moment, even if you can’t sense it. So let’s talk about rates of change. In the gas-fired power industry, rates of change may be approaching chaotic effects. That’s the conclusion from 18 one-on-one half-hour interviews conducted over a
