Combating Corrosion within Power Generation Facilities
Just about every utility facility that generates power or engages in some form of incineration must deal with corrosion issues. Since the ac Air Act of 1990, gas-scrubbing technologics have increased the im serving the assets of power plants and othe incineration infrastructure. These demands will increase further with the advent of new mercury removal requirements to be phased in during e near ...

An optimal algorithm for cascaded reservoir operation by combining the grey forecasting model with DDDP
The operation of cascaded reservoirs is a complex problem, and lots of algorithms have been developed for optimal cascaded reservoir operation. However, the existing algorithms usually have disadvantages such as the ‘curse of dimensionality’ and prematurity. This study proposes a grey discrete differential dynamic programming (GDDDP) algorithm for effectively optimizing the cascaded reservoir ...

Powerful Nitrogen Generators
Nitrogen is used as an inert gas in chemical and pharmaceutical process technology to prevent inflammable materials and liquids in mixers, production and storage tanks and pipelines from coming into contact with oxygen, thus preventing inflammation and explosions. Inmatec's PNC nitrogen generators generate N2 directly on site from the ambient air with purities of 95 to 99.999%. Their capacity ...

Inhalation Health Risk Assessment of Air Toxic Emissions from Large Combustion Turbine Power Projects
Power generation from combustion turbine projects continues to grow throughout the world. With natural gas as the most common primary fuel, and low-sulfur #2 oil as the backup fuel, combustion turbines are among the cleanest forms of fossil power generation. This paper discusses the results of a preliminary inhalation health risk assessment of air toxic emissions from four power plant ...

World post-Kyoto scenarios: benefits from accelerated technology progress
This paper addresses the issue of the potential benefits from technological change in post Kyoto CO2 emission reduction scenarios. In order to assess these benefits, it is necessary in Section 2 to define CO2 emission entitlements by world region, in a way that allows both for a significant global reduction from the reference in 2030 and for an acceptable burden sharing among world regions. The ...

Pedigree and specialisation - Rotork`s strengths in the nuclear power generation industry
In common with other power generation technologies, nuclear energy relies heavily on electric valve actuators for safe and efficient plant operation. In particular, electric valve actuators are used for crucial safety-related duties, both inside and outside the nuclear containment area or nuclear island. In both cases these duties demand actuators that are built to strict material specifications ...

Ask the Expert: Oil Analysis in Power Generation
Uptime is one of the key considerations for all power generators. Electricity supply must equal demand at all times. Downtime, especially unplanned downtime, is very difficult to deal with and can be quite costly. Fortunately condition based monitoring can go a long way towards preventing unscheduled downtime and achieving uptime goals in excess of 98%. In particular, on-site oil analysis is a ...

High Power Subnanosecond Generator For UWB Radar
Introduction Subnanosecond pulse generator is one of the most important elements of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. Parameters of impulse generator influence to radar performance since it depends on radiation power and receiver sensitivity. There are some ways to get high performance factor of the UWB radar. It can be achieved as increasing of radiation power as multiply sampling data accumulation. ...
