Ameren Improves Reliability at Four Plants(PDF 234KB)
Ameren has developed cost-effective ways to improve performance and reliability at four fossil power plants by implementing EPRI’s Plant Maintenance Optimization (PMO) and Plant Reliability Optimization (PRO).
AEP Explores Root Cause, Corrective Actions for Blade Cracking(PDF 652KB)
American Electric Power (AEP) and a group of other owners/operators of General Electric 7FA gas turbines requested that EPRI undertake an independent root cause analysis of failures of the first row (R-0) of the gas turbine compressors.
Southern and EPRI Conduct Pilot Project for Fleetwide Monitoring and Diagnostic Center(PDF 243KB)
For the past two years, EPRI and Southern Company have collaborated on a pilot project to implement new methodologies and quantify the benefits of a Fleetwide Monitoring and Diagnostic (M&D) Center as applied to the utility’s generation fleet. Using guidance from EPRI publications and forums, the pilot helped the utility understand the potential for achieving plant performance targets and to plan the fleetwide deployment of the center.
AEP Uses New Filler Metal for Dissimilar Metal Welds in Ultra-Supercritical Plant(PDF 599KB)
American Electric Power (AEP) is using a new filler metal developed by EPRI for making dissimilar metal welds (DMWs) in the fabrication of the utility’s new 600-MW ultra supercritical (USC) plant, the John W. Turk Jr. Power Plant in Fulton, Arkansas.
DTE Energy and Salt River Project share some of their lessons
learned in achieving effective technology transfer and the
value they have received from their engagement with EPRI.
Solar thermal energy storage systems are critical to lowering the cost of power from concentrated solar plants. A new EPRI report shows thermoclines could offer significant savings.
EPRI, Alstom and We Energies announced that a carbon capture
and storage project in Wisconsin has been able to remove more than 90% of
the CO2 from the flue gas of a coal-fired power plant.
EPRI is launching a new supplemental project to investigate innovative technologies that can reduce water consumption at power generation stations. To learn more, visit: Water and Advanced Cooling.
