Utilities and generation planners have traditionally relied on hourly grid modeling to optimize their decision-making. However, as intermittent renewable energy resources are increasingly deployed, ...
Once merely a staple of backup and distributed generation, reciprocating engines are now challenging other resources for utility-scale generation—in addition to carving out some new niches. Grant ...
The growth of renewable energy, and with it the need for reliable backup generation, along with the increase in combined heat and power applications, is contributing to a rise in the use of ...
WEC Energy Group announced a pilot project to test co-firing hydrogen with natural gas at one of its Michigan power plants. During the pilot project, hydrogen and natural gas will be mixed up to a ...
MATHEMATICAL analyses of the force required to accelerate the reciprocating parts of six and of eight-cylinder engines and of the axial and perpendicular components of the force needed to accelerate ...
ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala.--The engine of a tank is what keeps a combat vehicle running, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan. And, it's what depot employees do to it inside the Anniston Army Depot Nichols ...
Greenville Electric Utility System (GEUS) has broken ground on a 104-MW power plant that will deploy 11 Jenbacher J920 FleXtra reciprocating engines, marking the largest U.S. installation of the ...
Tucson Electric Power Co. is turning to an age-old technology to back up new renewable-energy resources. A hint: It’s essentially the same technology you use every time you drive your car. The company ...
The need for a viscometer to accurately predict the cranking characteristics of oils in engines at low temperatures led to the development of a reciprocating viscometer. This paper describes the ...
