Features
O&M Feature: Maximize That Uprate: Don’t Overlook Balance of Plant Systems & Equipment
Competition in the electric power generation market demands that power plants operate efficiently and generate the maximum amount of power for which they were designed consistently and safely.

Cover Feature: Gas Turbines Adapt to Dynamic Market Conditions
The rush to gas in the 1990s was driven by cheap natural gas prices—generally in the range of $2/MMBtu.

How Pollutants AreFormed During Combustion (And How It Affects Control Methods)
During combustion in a boiler, the primary pollutants nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur oxides (SOX) and mercury tend to form predominant species, but with trace to significant concentrations of alternate compounds.

How Clean Air Rules Deter Equipment Investment
The law of unintended consequences describes what happens when a simple system tries to regulate something highly complex.

Fan Upgrade? Consider This
A large number of the world’s power generation plants are operating with 50-year-old-plus fan equipment.

Is Wind Reliable?
Despite its variable output and non-dispatchability, wind can be a reliable source of energy.

Austin’s Windy Limits
Few big city utility departments are more aggressive when it comes to renewable energy than Austin Energy.

Departments
Opinion
Sweating Bullets
Officials with the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) have some advice for utilities thinking they might rely on the federal agency to help finance new coal-fired power plants: hold on until 2010.

Clearing the Air
Ready, Set…STOP!
Would you play a game without knowing the rules? Or jump into a lake without knowing how deep the water is?

POWER-GEN @ 20
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.

Field Notes
Fighting Fire with CO2
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has successfully been used as a fire extinguishing agent for many years.

Managing the Plant
Coal Replaces Gas in California Power Plant
Searles Valley Minerals Operations Inc. (SVM) is located in the California high desert near the town of Trona.

Workforce
Leading in the Age of Anxiety
If you’re a leader, you feel it in your gut: Stress is at an all-time high.

Startup
Tenaska’s Trailblazing CCS Proposal
With the exception of a few small demonstration projects, all proposals for new coal plants that would capture and sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) have been confined to integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants.

Products
Products
Conforma Clad announced a new technology for coating components. This patented technology is designed to allow Conforma Clad to use tungsten carbide cladding to coat less accessible areas of components and apply metallurgically bonded protection to any complex geometry.
