COVER STORY: GAS TOP PLANTS
24 Andong Combined Cycle Power Plant, Andong, South Korea
South Korea is in the midst of a massive push toward generation capacity additions,
and this plant is one of four combined cycle power plants scheduled to come online
through next year that will use the Siemens H-class turbine pictured on the cover.
26 CPV Sentinel Energy Project, Desert Hot Springs, California
Where there's lots of wind, there's need for fast-response backup capacity. For this
Southern California gas plant, several site factors helped ensure success in that role.
30 Jingqiao Power Plant, Beijing, China
This combined heat and power plant, one of the largest in the world, is among China's
latest additions to a cleaner, distributed generation fleet-factors of critical importance
in urban centers concerned about air pollution.
32 New York University Cogeneration Plant, New York City
This campus combined heat and power plant has proven that it delivers more than
reliable, low-cost, low-emissions electricity, heating, and cooling. While operating in
island mode, this microgrid also provided an oasis during an emergency.
34 Quisqueya I & II, San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic
Sometimes it takes an atypical partnership to ensure success for both partners. The
development partnership for this plant resulted in a project boasting multiple superlatives
for owners plus wins for the country's customers.
38 Ulsan 4 Combined Cycle Power Plant, Ulsan Metropolitan City, South Korea
Neither speed nor safety was compromised in the development of this fast-track
project. Swift government approvals and a two-phase construction plan helped this
plant deliver desperately needed power ahead of schedule.
