When a 4x2 combined-cycle power plant in the Midwest noticed its power output was slipping, they knew something was off. But identifying the root cause? Not so easy. That’s where EthosEnergy stepped in. With our PHD Advance remote monitoring, we detected a 2.5 MW power loss—faster than expected. Our solution? A Thermal Performance Audit that went beyond surface-level fixes, pinpointing hidden issues like a faulty inlet fogging system and suggesting real action steps. The result? A path to save $3 million a year and recover MWs. Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/ePkbp4Kf Want to get the most out of your plant? Speak to our experts.

This is the 500kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) of the Itaipu Binacional hydro generation station, the biggest Brazilian power generation station and one of the largest in the world. Why this solution was applied instead Air Insulated Substation (AIS)? There was no available area to accommodate all the 50/60Hz substation equipments. A great solution, isn't it? No doubt, nevertheless two main points can be pointed as disadvantages: the first one is an economic issue, GIS are more expensive than AIS. The second one is an electrical question. The switching maneuvers generate high frequency signals that imposes high stresses in windings of transformer and reactors. The application of GIS demands special studies and analysis to ensure the reliable operation of the system at all. #GIS #powersystemprotection #powersystemstudies

How are weather conditions affecting our transformers? Every transformer’s capacity limit is heavily dependent on environmental factors such as temperature, wind, solar radiation and thermal environments. Monitoring and analysing data that indicate how these factors affect a particular transformer enables us to have an understanding of how an asset’s lifetime is affected and when an overload might occur. With our thermal modelling, we make it possible to track dynamic load levels. Combining these with load profiles and maintenance needs enables us to strategically optimise asset usage and forecast reinvestments. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dmcVuTWU

Automated Anomaly Detection in #CSP Plants with Linear Least Squares Approximation #Concentrated #Solar Power plants generate extensive multivariate time series data due to their operational complexity. In these plants, heat transfer fluids in parabolic trough systems are crucial in collecting and transferring solar heat to the power generation system. However, detecting anomalies such as vacuum heat losses in parabolic trough systems is challenging. This is further exacerbated by the daily fluctuations in solar radiation, which make accurate measurements difficult. To address these challenges, we propose a new automated anomaly detection algorithm using least linear squares approximation. The application of our approach to time series data from a commercial CSP plant in Spain provides 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀. Future applications of this methodology can improve the reliability and efficiency of parabolic trough systems in CSP plants, which represents a key aspect of our future work. https://lnkd.in/dpkZiWaA

Transgrid is responsible for ensuring sufficient system strength services are available to maintain the stability and security of the NSW power system into the future. This week we published our assessment of over 100 individual 'non-network' and network solutions to meet NSW's needs (read it here: https://lnkd.in/gmpGK_Ax). We have identified that a diverse portfolio of solutions is required over the next decade, including: > 8 - 14 synchronous condensers > Modifications to several generators to enable them to operate in synchronous condenser mode > Contracts with existing hydro, gas and coal generators to fill gaps in system strength when required > 4.8GW of grid-forming batteries Transgrid will be holding two industry briefing sessions to share these insights: > Monday 24 June - Industry briefing. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gvm4gBkH > Tuesday 25 June - Next steps for non-network proponents. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gjcfRG_7 Transgrid, Baringa, HoustonKemp
