Condenser Chemistry Management: From Grab Samples to Predictive Digital Twins
When I walk into the main office of a power plant, it’s always on the main TV screen, along with heat rate, load, and other critical numbers. I’m talking about condenser backpressure. Every power plant manager watches this number (Figure 1), and they should. A PEPSE (Performance Evaluation of Power System Efficiencies) analysis of a […]

Supercritical CO2 for Gas Turbines: Accelerating Speed to Power
Many simple-cycle gas turbines are running harder than they were ever intended to—yet steam retrofits have never penciled out for most of that fleet. Supercritical CO 2 bottoming cycles change the economics

How Full-Train Validation Is Raising the Reliability Benchmark for High-Power Steam Turbines
Triveni Turbine validated a complete 60-MW turbine-generator train—not just the turbine—inside its own factory, using a dynamometer to simulate real load conditions before the package ever reached its
