GE expands its SF6-free HV offering
17 December, 2019
GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has announced plans to invest tens of millions of dollars to expand by 2025 its range of sulphur hexafluoride–free high- voltage substation equipment to include all key high-voltage levels. This is one of Grid Solution’s biggest portfolio investments in years. GE is a leading producer of SF6-free high-voltage solutions with its Green Gas for Grid, or g3, offering, which is said to feature the same high performance and compact dimensional footprint as traditional products, but with a more than 99% reduction in global warming potential.

Advanced radar level measurement helps to lower heat rate and reduce costs
18 July, 2019
Guided wave radar transmitters with dynamic vapour compensation functionality are able to provide accurate and reliable level measurements in challenging high-pressure saturated steam applications. The ability to carry out such measurements plays a vital role in helping reduce a plant’s heat rate, contributing to increased profitability. By Denny Nelson, Emerson Automation Solutions

MAN ETES: a cool technology that’s heating up sector coupling
16 July, 2019
MAN ETES (Electro-Thermal Energy Storage) – based on a closed CO2 cycle – offers considerably more than large- scale electricity storage. It also promises an economic approach to what has become known as ‘sector coupling’, ie decarbonisation of heating/cooling, etc, as well as electricity. By Raymond C. Decorvet and Mario Restelli MAN ETES Business Development, MAN Energy Solutions Switzerland Ltd

The LNG virtual pipeline: getting natural gas to places other pipelines can’t reach
23 May, 2019
Where no gas pipeline or grid infrastructure exists the LNG virtual pipeline enables natural gas to be used as a primary fuel for power generation. In addition, an LNG virtual pipeline can provide back-up/emergency fuel where natural gas pipeline capacity is constrained.

Robotics redefine transformer inspection
03 March, 2019
Transformers are a key part of the power infrastructure but many of them are very old, the average age of US transformers is for example estimated to be about 40 years. Robotic inspection of oil-filled power transformers has potential for utilities and industrial operators to enhance safety and reduce the duration of outages at the same time as improving collaboration with remote experts and decision-makers. By Jamie Stapleton Digital Leader – Transformers, ABB

Small scale attracts big interest
03 January, 2019
Recent years have seen growing recognition that LNG (liquefied natural gas) – now very well established as an internationally traded commodity, with a significant global infrastructure in place – doesn’t always have to be large scale. Significant interest is developing in decentralised small-scale LNG technologies. By James Varley
