Power plant boilers are crucial machines that generate heat by combusting fossil fuels to produce steam, which is then used to generate electricity. These boilers have significantly improved in efficiency over the years, with some achieving up to 90% fuel-to-steam efficiency. They come in various types such as fluidized boilers, multi-tube boilers, and pulverized boilers, each serving specific purposes across industries. The market's growth is driven by increasing global industrialization and urbanization, prompting governments to invest in upgrading existing power plants and constructing new ones to meet rising energy demands. Technological advancements, including the adoption of supercritical boilers, also contribute positively to market expansion.

From coal-powered steam turbines in 1884 to hydrogen-fueled gas turbines today, power generation has come a long way! ⚙️🔋 Texas A&M engineers, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), are developing high-performance materials to create gas turbines that operate at higher temperatures using hydrogen instead of natural gas. This breakthrough will help decarbonize energy and create cleaner, more efficient power by 2035. 🌍💡 Read more: https://tx.ag/TurbinePower

Innovation! There’s this discussion around decarbonization that solely focuses on the removal of natural gas and the promotion of electricity as a sole source of power / energy. This isn’t true, required or 100% feasible. I’ve shared my experience with SoCal Gas and their H2 Hydrogen innovation. #Chevron has SoLoNOx, which is a low omission low nitrogen oxide that reduces CO2 and uses gas powered wind turbines and…. Hydrogen. Pilot program in CALIFORNIA. The discussions and regulations, and new laws and their advocates have given the appearance that SoCal Gas / Sempra or any other oil company (specifically people who advocate against pipelines or fracking, or are for electric only) didn’t realize these companies are legacy companies, were not laying down but have truly been innovating, creating and developing opportunities to showcase that they’re here to stay and not going anywhere. #utilities #dryutilities #construction #realestate #innovation

Electric utilities and project developers have latched onto the terms "hydrogen-ready” and “hydrogen-capable” in describing their plans to build new methane gas-fired (popularly called natural gas-fired) power plants. However, state regulators and potential project investors should scrutinize assertions that #hydrogen gas will be widely used in methane-fired turbines, as those claims overlook the significant investment, in both dollars and time, that would be needed to build the infrastructure required for such a transition.    Utilities and developers are tying proposals for new methane gas-fired power plants to some far-off future when these new resources might be converted to run on hydrogen. That is not likely. Funding arranged now will be paying for the construction of methane-fired power plants, and the risks associated with that should be factored into all regulatory and financing decisions.   More in my latest report for the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA): https://lnkd.in/eg6ViM2Q   #energytransition #greenhydrogen 

Support from US DOE for Gas -> Hydrogen Turbine migration, budget $8.8M. 11 US Universities will be engaged for research and development projects to improve the performance of hydrogen-fueled turbines, leading up to100% Hydrogen firing. Materials: Six funding recipients will perform fundamental materials research to produce knowledge, data, and understanding that can be utilized to enable improved capabilities for hot gas path component design in gas turbines using hydrogen-containing fuels: Airfoil Cooling & manufacturing: One funding recipient will focus on applied research for turbine hot gas path components that will utilize advanced cooling architectures and advanced materials/manufacturing technologies: Risks and mitigations: Four funding recipients will work toward the development of knowledge, data and understanding of the risk associated with material fatigue and thermal/mechanical stresses in rotating detonation engines operating on hydrogen fuels and strategies for minimizing the risk through material selection and design improvements that would maintain any achieved performance benefits. These projects target to address the key technical challenges existing today for the transition to Hydrogen fuel. Only concern is the funding budget, hope industries will chip in to support based on the initial results. #hydrogen Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action

My guess is that batteries, along with similar mechanical power storage and generation systems such as Liquid Air Energy Storage, will soon compete with the traditional energy storage capacity and transportability now provided by oil and gas.

This report should serve as a harbinger of significant increases in electricity costs in the Middle Atlantic Region due to insufficient generation capacity and transmission infrastructure. This will only increase the value of distributed generation such as solar by companies and individuals who have the foresight to make the investment.

Remember this day next summer if you receive a bill in PJM territory. Yesterday's capacity auction has shed light on a series of problems, shortcomings, and lack of foresight that is going to cost the rate base BIG TIME. Industry reaction is pouring in...
