POWER GRID
How Different Power Grid Operators Are Approaching
Renewable-Storage Hybrid Participation
28
Utilities are recognizing the economic value in pairing renewable resources
with energy storage systems. Having this type of hybrid arrangement also
makes sense when it comes to controlling the flow of power along the grid. But
the regulatory environment is still evolving for such systems, meaning operators
must consider several factors when developing hybrid installations.
LUBRICATION
Combating Varnish in Turbines: A Two-Step Solution
28
Maintaining turbines in top condition is critical for keeping power plants online
and avoiding costly downtime. Operating systems are becoming more complex,
and maintenance requires new and different procedures. Preventative
maintenance, including measures to prevent varnish buildup in steam and gas
turbines, is an important job for any plant manager.
TECHNOLOGY
Ensuring Power Grid Health Through Better Asset Management
The evolving nature of power transmission and distribution has brought the
need for advanced technologies to help with the integration of renewable resources
to the grid, along with highlighting the importance of maintaining aging
infrastructure. Methods to improve the management of power generation
assets, both at power plants and along the grid, are more important than ever.
PROJECT FINANCING
Standardized Documents and Solid Partners Make Financing
Less Stressful for Project Developers
30
Smaller power generation projects may not attract big investors, but a sound
return on investment is just as important to the companies involved with these
installations. Finding the right partners, and having efficient documentation every
step of the way, will help ensure a project's success.

With more countries announcing net-zero plans for 2050 or sooner, the time for
hydrogen to play a major and integrated role in our energy infrastructure has
come. Reliable and consistent hydropower could be the best option for producing
green hydrogen. (Visit powermag.com and search " Hydropower CostEffective
