Alternative Energy Blog: Retrofitting Wind Turbine Control for Improved Performance

Jim Cahill

The use of wind turbines in the global energy mix continues to grow. According to the International Energy Agency : In 2021 wind electricity generation increased by a record 273 TWh (up 17%). This was 55% higher growth than that achieved in 2020 and was the highest among all renewable power technologies. Such rapid development was possible thanks to an unprecedented increase in wind capacity additions, which reached…

Alternative Energy Blog: Driving Combined Cycle Efficiency Gains

Jim Cahill

Combined cycle electrical power generation facilities play an essential role in providing baseload power to the grid. The principle of operation : …is that after completing its cycle in the first engine, the working fluid (the exhaust) is still hot enough that a second subsequent heat engine can extract energy from the heat in the exhaust. Usually, the heat passes through a heat exchanger so that the two engines can…

Alternative Energy Blog: Evaluating Combustion: Efficiency Alone is Not Enough

Jim Cahill

In an Industrial Heating article, Emerson’s Andrew Smith breaks down the complexities of combustion control, and provides a solution Some industrial processes prove to be more complex in actual operation than they first appear. One of the most common is combustion, as applied with boilers, fired heaters, ovens, and the like. Conceptually, it is very easy to understand: mix fuel with air in the right proportion and it…
