By Jeroen van de Garde, Thermal & Conceptual Design Engineer at NEM Energy B.V. In the competitive business of engineering power plants, the market-driven demand for cost-efficient heat recovery steam ...

Iberdrola SA and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) recently commissioned the El Carmen combined cycle plant, located in Nuevo León, northeast Mexico. Wood supplied the two horizontal heat ...

By: Ad de Pijper, Aalborg Industries Inc. Because modern combined-cycle plants are dispatched quickly, the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are exposed to a large number of thermal transients.

Thermohydraulic simulations can provide detailed heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) data to help determine the root cause of failures, predict the degree of wear from various mechanisms, and assess ...
