HYDROGEN
Overcoming Green Hydrogen's Major Operational Cost: Electricity
Electrolyzer technology is evolving, with the environmental benefits of hydrogen
receiving more support as the fuel is produced from renewable energy.
The cost of green hydrogen, though, remains an issue.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
Understanding Ultrasonic Examination in the
Power and Process Industries
Power plant operators and others in the energy industry know it's important
to ensure the viability of equipment. Ultrasonic testing is a well-proved
method of inspecting materials to find possible defects.

Inventory Management Systems: How Automation Can
Save Time and Reduce Costs for Power Companies
Tech-enabled inventory management has many benefits for the global power
generation industry. It supports automation, helps with supply chain issues,
and enables time savings for administrative tasks.
SOLAR POWER
Floating PV System Provides Smart Energy and
Savings for Wastewater Plant
An innovative solar power system is helping a Northern California agency
generate electricity to support a wastewater treatment plant. The facility's
technology could be a model for other installations, providing groups with
low-cost energy and a decarbonization solution.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
Turbine Bypass Valve Challenges
28
Turbine bypass valves are highly specialized pieces of engineered equipment
that must be carefully specified, installed, and maintained. Their infrequent
operation, extreme pressure drops and temperature cycles, and need for very
tight shut off push these valves to the limit. Technology has changed over the
years, so if your turbine bypass valves are from the early 2000s or older, there
may be upgrades worth considering.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Why Energy Efficiency Should Be a Priority for Every Manufacturer
Businesses that have embraced sustainability should focus on reducing their
energy consumption and work toward making their energy use more efficient.
An expert with IGS Energy says that can involve working with their local utility
or other energy provider to develop strategies around the use of electricity.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Effects of Evolving NatCat Risks on Reliability
and Insurability of Renewable Assets
Extreme weather events in the U.S. have increased in both frequency and size
over the last several years. This has a massive impact on a renewable energy
asset's reliability and insurability. In fact, there have been cases where lenders
won't approve certain projects due to the high risk of NatCat (natural catastrophe)
induced damaged. (Visit powermag.com and search " Evolving NatCat
