We are deeply involved in cogeneration plants including biomass and gas turbines. ... Co-Generation Power Island. .... "Power Islands," "Merchant Plants," "Across the Fence Cogeneration," "Third Party Steam Plants," and "Client CHP" are some of the names used to refer to unconventional commercial arrangements for the production and procurement of steam and electrical power to pulp and paper mills. Although the term "Power Island" is often used to describe third party cogeneration facilities, the concept is completely different from an island. The power house that provides the steam and power to the mill has a direct and immediate effect on the pulp mill’s operational stability and uptime as well as the operating costs. 2, record 4, English, - power%20island

The IGCC [Integrated Gasification with Combined Cycle] demonstration plant in Puertollano features many advantages compared to conventional coal fired power stations with flue gas desulphurization(FGD) and DeNOx systems :... The plant consists of the following three main units : Power island, gasification island, and oxygen production plant(Air Separation).... The power island. The combined cycle in the Puertollano plant... can be operated both with natural gas and synthesis gas. The main features are : A 200 MWe(ISO) Siemens model V94. 3 gas turbine. A three-pressure level and IP steam reheating heat recovery steam generator designed by Babcock able to additionally superheat the steam generated through raw gas cooling in the gasification. A two casing reheat steam turbine designed by Siemens that delivers roughly 135 MWe. The clean coal gas is burned by the coal gas burners in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine. The sensible heat of extracted air is used for clean gas saturation, low pressure steam production and preheating of impure nitrogen.

The CF6-80 [engine] also embodies the ’active clearance control' first used by GE on the F101 powerplant for the Rockwell B-1 bomber, and certificated commercially on the CFM56. This system varies the flow of cooling air, and hence the expansion of the blades, to give optimum clearance around the HP turbine. This has the double benefit of economising on fuel-demanding cooling air and of maintaining close tolerances. 1, record 9, English, - active%20clearance%20control

Le procédé consiste à doser le débit d'air de refroidissement des aubes, donc leur dilation longitudinale, de façon à optimiser le jeu radial à la circonférence de la turbine HP. Cette technique a un double intérêt: elle permet à la fois d'économiser l'air de refroidissement qui coûte cher en consommation de carburant, et de maintenir en permanence un jeu minimal. 1, record 9, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20actif%20des%20jeux
