Emissions Control: German BOA plant is scrubbing up well
Neurath, a district of Grevenbroich in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has a long tradition in terms of energy.
Plant Security: Getting the safety aspect right
Safety cannot be compromised. Creating safe, reliable plant operation is an essential necessity for major plant operators.
Combined-cycle Plant Expansion: Thermal expansion to help quench Venezuela’s thirst for power
Venezuela is potentially a very rich country. It has greater proven conventional oil reserves than any country in the western hemisphere: 77 billion barrels.
Total Plant Assessment: On track for plant competitiveness
Power producers traditionally take a bottom-up, component-centric approach in optimizing their power plants.
Health & Safety: Looking at plant safety with fresh eyes
Safety management rarely gets an airing among senior management teams, and with behavioural safety still a relatively new concept, it can often be hard to create sufficient appetite, consensus and time commitment to make it work effectively in practice.
GLOBAL POWER UTILITIES: Power sector faces climate change challenge
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) 2007 volume of its global utilities survey shows a sea change in the attitude of the world’s utility industry.
Benefits abound with novel CHP scheme
Utility giant E.ON is constructing plants to help provide new generating capacity in the UK.
Trigeneration begins to take off
The growing expectation of people in developed countries of a certain level of comfort in their lives is increasing the popularity of trigeneration.
Benefiting from large-scale CHP
Generating heat and power from your own plant happens not only on a small-scale at farms or bio-energy villages, for example.
Canned heat: getting the hots for CHP
Achieving improvements in energy supply efficiencies is a fundamental part of the world achieving the goal of every country having a secure, reliable and affordable energy supply.
Top tips for specifying a combined heat and power system
Combined heat and power, sometimes called cogeneration, is the production of heat and power in a single process.
Thailand faces up to its energy future with a smile
I cannot profess to have seen many politicians speaking in person, but I have certainly heard enough of them on the television or on the radio to know that they rarely answer the questions asked, have a tendency to avoid controversial subjects, and consequently tell you only what they want you to know.
Unbundling: boon or burden?
The European Union (EU) has had many tough nuts to crack in its 50-year history, but perhaps few issues have posed as much of a headache as that of network unbundling.
INTERNATIONAL
A consortium has gained a majority share in 1.7 GW of generating capacity in Jordan after buying 51 per cent of that country’s Central Electricity Generating Company (CEGCO).
ASIA-PACIFIC
Energy retailers in Australian state New South Wales must be privatized and power generators there be leased or sold, according to a strong recommendation from the head of an inquiry into future energy needs in the region.
EUROPE
European generators should sell their power grids and gas pipelines to help boost competition and investment in Europe’s power markets, according to a proposal by the European Commission (EC).
AMERICAS
A plan to build a 300 MW clean coal project to meet Saskatchewan’s power demand until 2014 by has foundered.
COMPANIES
Suez and Gaz de France have agreed the terms of a merger that will create a power group with an estimated value of €80bn ($114bn) and which will be the fourth largest in the world behind Gazprom, EdF and E.ON.
Genset Roundup
Ingersoll Rand has launched its PowerSource range of 50 cycle generators. The new PowerSource range is a highly engineered line of 12 mobile and portable generator models with prime outputs at rated speed from 10 kVA to 500 kVA.
Equipment Roundup
A Chinese court has ordered France’s Schneider Electric to pay a Chinese company Rmb335m ($45m) in damages for infringing its patent, the largest amount ever awarded in an intellectual property case in the country.
