COVER FEATURE: Projects of the Year
Energy supply was often front page news during 2007. The growing demand for electricity, increasingly volatile fuel prices, growing concerns about the environment and global warning and talk of carbon caps have created a business environment that can be hard for power generators to navigate.
Repowering Can Wait
California’s landscape at times offers what should be a wind power advocate’s dream.
Energy Sources Hide in Plain Sight
Hundreds of megawatts of electricity hide from us in plain sight. It’s in the garbage you put in the alley and in those tree limbs you put out for the monthly trash collection.
Sunny for Small Tech in Solar
Although crystalline-silicon (c-Si), wafer-based solar cells and modules dominate the photovoltaic (PV) marketplace with more than 90 percent share, sales of thin-film-based products are growing at twice the clip of the entrenched technologies.
O&M Feature: SO3 Effect on Mercury Control
Reducing SO3 can help control mercury emissions while boosting plant efficiency and lowering operating costs.
Environmental Issues Dominate POWER-GEN International
Looming CO2 regulation dominated many discussions in New Orleans this past December.
FGD Wastewater Treatment Still Has a Ways to Go
The composition of flue gas desulfurization varies widely, based on scrubber type and coal and limestone used.
The Next Three Years
To gauge the level of global greenhouse gas emissions 30 to 50 years from now, pay close attention to power plant ordering decisions made in the next three years.
Achieving Cost-effective Emission Reductions
A new legal paradigm exists in the United States that will affect every generating plant in one way or another.
POWER-GEN International @ 20:A Look Back at Issues and Events from 1988
Twenty years ago on page 6 of the January 1988 edition of Power Engineering magazine, a full-page ad introduced “POWER-GEN ‘88” to the world.
Clean and Profitable
Recent authors in this column have addressed wind, nanotechnology and hydrogen, among other topics.
Lost in the Zeroes
Amid the media talk about high capital costs for new generation sources, production costs often get lost in the zeroes.
Borosilicate Glass Block Linings at Work in Wet FGD Chimneys
Expanding demand for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems in both new and retrofit applications for coal-fired power plants has required the use of suitable and cost-effective materials for flue gas ductwork and chimneys.
Report Assesses Likely Cost to Stem GHG
The United States could cut projected 2030 emissions of greenhouse gases by between one-third to one-half at manageable costs to the economy and without requiring big changes in consumer lifestyles, according to a recently published report.
Calling the COPS
The recently adopted Article 708 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) is aimed at protecting the economy from critical power infrastructure failure.
Products
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. released the TEOM Series 1405 for ambient particulate monitoring, featuring modernized electronics and a touch-screen user interface, packaged into a single cabinet.
Exchanging Shots in the Carbon War
Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, warned China that the European Union could penalize cheap imports from high carbon-emitting countries to defend EU companies obliged to meet strict environmental standards.
