What if the key to solving the world’s growing energy crisis already exists, quietly powering millions of homes and industries with unmatched efficiency? Enter the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT)—a ...
The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
The second of three new gas turbines has arrived at Plant Yates, part of a project expected to add 1,300 MW by 2027.
Film cooling remains a critical technology in contemporary gas turbine design, providing a protective thermal barrier that enhances component longevity and efficiency even under extreme operational ...
During the 1990’s, some power plants experimented with fog-based power augmentation by overspraying fog into the compressor – known as wet compression. The results were impressive. They reported a ...
Abradable coatings are specialised, sacrificial materials applied within gas turbine casings to ensure minimal clearance between rotating blades and the casing. Their unique design allows the coating ...
Back in the early 2000s, some controversy emerged about the practice of spraying large amounts of fog directly into the compressor. Some claimed that this led to blade erosion, pitting, and scaling.
More than 60 natural gas turbines have been purchased as part of a rental agreement with an xAI affiliate. CTC Property LLC, another xAI affiliate, and Texas-based Solaris Energy Infrastructure ...
The turbines will provide up to 200 megawatts of electricity when renewable sources are unavailable. Environmental groups raised concerns about increased emissions, particularly during the overlap ...
