FEATURES:
NUCLEAR
Excellent Planning and Focus on Safety Lead to
Successful Feedwater Heater Replacement Project
Maintenance and repairs are critical for any power generation facility, and are
of particular importance at a nuclear power plant. The process to replace a
feedwater heater at a Duke Energy station provides a blueprint for performing
work both safely and successfully.
RELIABILITY & RESILIENCY
Shoring Up the Grid for Extreme Weather and Climate Change
32
As extreme weather events occur more often, and with increasing severity,
power companies are working to ensure they have the right equipment, technology,
and expertise on hand to restore electric service more quickly, and
support reliability and resilience of the grid.
MARNIE SURFACEBLOW
Once an Engineer, Always an Engineer: Don't Let Technology Hide
Simple Problems and Their Solutions
While attending her high school class reunion, Marnie helps the school's
maintenance crew troubleshoot a heating boiler problem. The former student
becomes the teacher, and provides a lesson that should improve safety at the
facility for years to come.
MICROGRID
Propane a Clean, Reliable Option for Microgrid Applications
34
Propane offers economic and environmental benefits that make it an excellent
low-carbon energy source for microgrids. Easily stored and transported, propane
provides additional power when renewable energy resources deployed
with microgrids do not perform. (Visit powermag.com and search " Propane
for Microgrid Applications " to read this online-only exclusive.)
Benefits of a Synchronous Generator in a Microgrid
Microgrids may incorporate a variety of traditional and renewable power
sources such as diesel or natural gas generator sets, wind turbines, solar panels,
fuel cells, and energy storage. A good understanding of project objectives
is important to ensure a well-engineered solution that meets those goals.

HEAT RECOVERY STEAM GENERATOR
How to Defeat Dew Point Corrosion in Heat Recovery
Steam Generators
Facing issues during routine maintenance shutdown of heat recovery steam
generators (HRSGs), South Humber Bank Power Station in the UK began using
vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) technology to solve its dew point corrosion
problem in 2009. After more than a decade of successful use, it's clear that VCI
technology is a reliable option. (Visit powermag.com and search " Defeat Dew
