The push for greater efficiency and capacity often drives steam turbine upgrades and the development of new turbine features. Steam turbines used at coal and nuclear power plants require regular ...

Carbon emissions produced by the combustion of coal may be collected and stored in the future, but a better approach (in the near term at least) is to reduce the carbon produced through efficient ...

Steam turbines installed at early combined-cycle (CC) plants were relatively simple machines based on existing industrial turbine designs. Typically, they were rated 80 MW or less and would spin ...
