NUCLEAR POWER
A Closer Look at Two Operational Small Modular Reactor Designs
The International Atomic Energy Agency lists 83 small modular reactor (SMR)
designs under development, but only the KLT-40S and HTR-PM are actually
operational. Main design features, deployment details, and the most recent
operational performance for both of these SMR designs are examined.
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES
Research and Development Investments Vital for a Clean Energy Future
The addition of more renewable energy, including distributed energy resources
(DERs), to the electricity supply highlights the need for more research and
development of systems to support DER deployment.

Marnie Finds a Pest
Marnie's latest challenge is navigating negotiations about failed equipment,
and determining the cause of the problem while simultaneously working on
a solution.
TECHNOLOGY
How HIL Testing Supports Grid Reliability and Power Project Success
The use of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing provides power plant operators
with a look at how their equipment should perform under actual conditions.
It's an important tool to ensure success before a project is commissioned.
WATER CHEMISTRY
Preparing Steam and Water Analysis Equipment for Summer Heat
26
Higher heat loads and increased cycling rates put stress on steam and water
sampling and analysis equipment. However, there are several simple solutions
plant operators can implement before the summer months arrive to
protect their plants from thermal issues and prolonged downtime. (Visit powermag.com
