FEATURES:
MARNIE SURFACEBLOW
Haunted Hydroelectric Horrors!
32
Marnie and Maya are called on to do some " ghostbusting " at an old hydro
plant with a somewhat spooky past. While Maya is skeptical of ghosts, she is
ultimately frightened by an unusual sight, which Marnie uses to confirm her
own suspicions about the cause of the ghostly visions.
TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION
The Benefits of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer in Power Transmission
32
Storms have gotten meaner and regularly hit the power grid with more intensity
than traditional Class 5 or 6 poles can handle. Fiber-Reinforced Polymer
(FRP) is an engineered material that is both strong and durable. Other qualities
that make FRP poles good for both transmission and distribution are their
safety characteristics, resiliency, and long service life.
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY
Choosing the Right Distributed Energy Resource
Distributed energy resources have emerged as a vital component in the global
energy transition to sustainable and resilient energy solutions. Yet, deciding
between grid-tied and off-grid systems, and whether it's best to invest now or
later, can be difficult.
DECARBONIZATION
Engineering the Largest Post-Combustion Carbon Capture Plant
VPI, a power generator and owner of a 1,260-MW combined cycle natural gas
power plant in Immingham, UK, is set to play a key role in decarbonizing the
region. The company plans to transform its existing facility into the largest
post-combustion carbon capture plant of its type in the world.

Propane: A Clean Energy Solution for Tomorrow That's Available Today Web
Electrification is frequently presented as an optimal way to reduce carbon
emissions, but it's simply not practical to rely on electricity alone. Propane
is an often-overlooked energy resource that can be used to reliably power
many different applications. (Visit powermag.com and search " Propane Clean
Energy Solution " to read this online-only exclusive.)
GAS TURBINE
Realize the Opportunity from Advanced Air Inlet Filtration
For maximum efficiency and operational flexibility, advanced gas turbines
have rightly been optimized to the nth degree. However, there are big opportunities
in important related components such as air inlet filtration systems
too. The latest developments show what can be achieved when a new approach
is taken. (Visit powermag.com and search " Advanced Air Inlet Filtration "
to read this online-only exclusive.)
