Collaboration may not be a choice as screws tighten on CC plants

2025 POWER USERS COMBINED CONFERENCE RECAPS Combined Cycle Users Group Steam Turbine Users Group Generator Users Group Power Plant Controls Users Group Future electricity demand growth accelerates. Supply chain constraints intensify. Carbon emissions rules ease. Existing combined cycle (CC) major equipment from the last boom (1997-2003) closes in on original end-of-life dates. Construction of hyper-scale data […]

The invisible cost of capacity: Closing the declaration gap in volatile markets

In the current era of grid transformation, a plant’s declared capacity is no longer just a static figure in an offer sheet. It has become a dynamic driver of both margin and risk. For many combined-cycle operators, the daily ritual of capacity declaration, often handled through aging spreadsheets and “rule of thumb” adjustments, is leaking

From baseload to dispatch: Reinventing a 30-year-old combined cycle

A great many combined cycle plants were built in the nineties and early 2000s. Not so long ago, many considered them to be reaching their end of life. But the recent power plant construction boom has convinced many asset owners to keep these units running. Some are upgrading them to ensure they last another twenty

Proactive turbine-oil maintenance moves to the front line of reliability

A turbine end user could once treat lube-oil management as background maintenance. That is no longer a safe assumption. During a recent CCJ webinar offered by C.C. Jensen on proactive turbine-oil maintenance and varnish control, presenter Eddie Rowland, joined by former GE Vernova engineer Tom Freeman and Duke Energy lead engineering technologist Steve Malec, made

Maximizing the lifespan of CO catalyst: What operators should check before ordering replacement

For many gas-turbine users, CO-catalyst trouble shows up first as a compliance headache: stack CO starts climbing at low load, differential pressure changes, and the plant is forced to decide whether it is looking at a cleaning issue, a system issue, or end-of-life catalyst. That decision now carries more economic weight than it did a
