Operation and Maintenance of Gas Turbines was the Hot Topic for July 22, 2010

 

Bill Lauer, Turbine Business Development Manager Emerson Process Management and Jeff Williams, Director Advanced Control Solutions Emerson Process Management, Power & Water Solutions, described Emerson’s Ovation Economic Optimizer Package for turbine control applications. Changing power demands, emissions control regulations, and the need for reduced power generation costs have resulted in purchases of the system by not only U.S. power plants but some in Europe and Asia as well. The system can not only improve unit heat rate but also optimize power generation across several generating units in a networked region. 

 

Bob McIlvaine reviewed a number of resources which are available to the participants. They include challenges to use of gas turbines in power. Information on components such as inlet filters, duct burners, and HRSGs are posted on the free site. There is also an analysis of materials. It introduces a whole new concept of “Decisive Classification.”
