…makes for a fascinating case study into how gas turbines are used to stabilize power grids, backstop renewables, and how this has changed over time. $799.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart…
…efficiency of a wood-fired power plant is 34%. Gas turbines. We have also developed a gas-turbine variant of the model, reflecting the energy economics of the Brayton cycle from first…
…in 13-pages, covering what we think decision makers in the energy transition should know. The theory underpins the appeal of electrification, ultra-efficient gas turbines, CHPs, advanced nuclear and new super-critical…
…spare capacity really exists within the US’s current fleet of gas turbines. As a general rule of thumb, a typical US gas power generation facility runs at 40% annual utilization,…
…simple cycle gas turbines only achieve c40%. The theme and opportunity are therefore explored in our 17-page note below. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2020/09/17/a-new-case-for-gas-what-if-renewables-get-overbuilt/ (4) Over-building electric vehicles? Subsidies for EVs are also more…
When electric vehicles are widespread, how will we fuel them? Our model shows the economics can be compelling for powering fast-chargers using gas turbines. $289.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart The…
…high-grade gas turbines. Muscle power was the original prime mover in the pre-industrial energy system (chart below). But a typical horse outputs 0.75 kW of power, converts only c10-30% of…
…natural gas in 2023. An overview of simple-cycle gas turbines, combined-cycle gas turbines, and gas peaker plants is re-capped on pages 2-3. There is a problem with levelized cost analysis….
…blessing in terms of thermodynamic efficiency. But conversely, the limit on pre-existing gas turbines is not the ability to generate high flame temperatures. It is the ability to withstand them!…
…What compressor turbines are used in LNG plants? First generation plants used steam turbines. Second generation plants used industrial gas turbines. Recent plants use aero-derivative turbines, which have smaller footprints,…
