Why we need to carbonise the grid
The grid is being required to carry loads it was never designed to handle. One potential solution is deployment of radically improved conductors based on carbon nanotubes. But to achieve this, carbon nanotube prices need to come down and the manufacturing precision needs to be driven up.
Another milestone for Canada’s green hydrogen ambitions
World Energy GH2 and Export Development Canada (EDC), on behalf of the government of Canada, have signed a definitive agreement to develop Project Nujio’qonik*, Canada’s first commercial-scale green hydrogen/ammonia facility, to be located on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL).
HRSG design, installation, and O&M: lessons learned
Adoption of best practices based on in-depth experience of HRSG project challenges can yield significant benefits, including higher efficiency, less emissions and reduced maintenance requirements.
Detecting LV-grid pre-faults
Electricity networks face a constant challenge to minimise downtime and prevent outages from storm-related faults, which can be as many as 100-200 per day in the UK, for example, with its reputation for heavy rain. Permanent monitoring equipment can however detect pre-faults and their location, assisting network operators in performing proactive repair work.
Hydrogen, the burning issue at Tallawarra
Following a two year construction period, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business and EnergyAustralia have announced entry into commercial operation of the $300 million 320 MWe fast-start Tallawarra B power station. It is located in Yallah on the western shore of Lake Illawarra in New South Wales, about eight miles southwest of Wollongong.
