Abstract:
A system and method to preemptively adjust power generation of one or more non-solar power generators based on near term solar generation capability, spinning reserve margin, and/or power grid spinning reserve forecast requirements to offset solar power generation based on geospatial regional solar conditions.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and systems to determine a power plant machine reliability forecast. In an embodiment, a method may comprise obtaining an environmental factor of a power plant machine based on geospatial data of a first area and location data of a second area, obtaining an operating factor of the power plant machine, and determining a reliability forecast based on the obtained environmental factor and the obtained operating factor.

Abstract:
A supercharging system includes a fan providing an air flow, and a prime mover that drives the fan. A duct directs a first portion of the air flow to a gas turbine system, a main bypass subsystem diverts a second portion of the air flow to a heat recovery steam generator; and a drive bypass subsystem that diverts a third portion of the air flow to the prime mover. The prime mover may be one of an aeroderivative gas turbine, a gas turbine, a reciprocating engine, a steam turbine and an induction motor and a variable frequency drive.

Abstract:
A system to improve gas turbine output and extend the life of hot gas path components includes a subsystem for estimating an amount of water or steam to be added to the flow of air to achieve the desired hot gas path temperature. The system includes a water or steam injection component adapted to inject the amount of water or steam to the flow of air to generate a flow of humid air and an injection subsystem adapted to inject the flow of humid air into a nozzle at the turbine stage are also included. The system includes a temperature sensor disposed at a turbine stage, and a subsystem for determining a desired hot gas path temperature at the turbine stage. An extraction conduit is coupled to a compressor stage and is adapted to extract a flow of air.
