A lower - inertia turbine wheel in the turbocharger and electronically - controlled wastegate actuator result in more efficient turbocharging than the «R» engine found in the outgoing Sportage, while stiffer valve springs and high - pressure 2000 bar fuel pump injection allow closer control of combustion within the engine cylinders.

The two scrolls of a twin - scroll turbo lead each exhaust pulse directly to the turbine without feedback or interference from other scroll (that are feed by cylinders at other points in the combustion process).

The twin - scroll turbocharger design has several other advantages over traditional, single - scroll turbocharging systems, including: • Improved combustion efficiency • Low engine - speed efficiency • Kinetic exhaust gas energy is not wasted or trapped • Cooler cylinder temperatures • Lower exhaust temperatures • Leaner air / fuel ratio • Better pressure distribution in the exhaust ports and more efficient delivery of exhaust gas energy to the turbocharger's turbine Veloster's twin - scroll turbo has superior handling of exhaust gas separation at the turbine leading to improved low - end torque and faster transient torque response.

How CHP works is by using the heat that would otherwise be wasted in exhaust gases from fossil combustion systems, such as flue gases from a coal - or biomass - fueled boiler or exhaust from a gas turbine or reciprocating engine, to produce steam and / or hot water for various industrial or commercial needs.

It uses carbon dioxide produced in combustion to drive turbines at the plant rather than steam.

Fossil fuel electric generation: Electric generation in which the prime mover is an internal combustion engine or a turbine rotated by high - pressure steam produced in a boiler or by a hot exhaust gas produced from the burning of fossil fuels.

The NRDC cites the «2016 State of the Market» report by PJM, the largest grid operator in North America, as showing that «new entrant natural gas - fired combined cycle plants, combustion turbine plants, and solar are economical, but that new coal and nuclear plants are not.»

Gas reactor heats helium that drives helium turbo - compressor that in turn rotates the air compressor of a combustion turbine.

In Texas, the second phase of the combined - cycle Panda Temple Power Station (734 MW) and three combustion turbine plants totaling 716 MW (Ector County Energy Center, Montana Power Station, and Elk Station) came online.

Energy from combustion is used to heat water, which in turn powers a steam turbine.

[1] An NGCC plant first uses a gas combustion turbine to generate electricity, then uses the waste heat to make steam to generate additional electricity in a steam turbine.

One scenario includes heat pumps — which are used in place of combustion - based heaters and coolers — but no hot or cold energy storage; two add no hydropower turbines to existing hydropower dams; and one has no battery storage.

But what does the increasing role of energy storage as peaker replacement mean for investments in new combustion turbine, or even combined cycle plants, and gas pipelines?

As Table 1 and Figure 2 show, four conversion technologies — the steam turbine, combustion turbine, spark - ignition engine, and compression - ignition engine — are responsible for 65.4 % of all energy consumption in the United States.

These are followed by the combustion turbine (9.30 quads), which is primarily for power generation and transportation (aviation), and the compression - ignition engine (6.78 quads), which is primarily for transportation but also has some uses in power generation.

A conventional natural gas combustion turbine of the required size might require approximately $ 195 million in overnight capital costs (given the cost assumptions used in EIA's Annual Energy Outlook).

Significantly less combustion turbine capacity was added in first - half 2014 (131 MW) compared to the same period last year (3,115 MW).

Better to put in new combustion turbines and use their waste heat to drive the old coal boilers.

Combined cycle: An electric generating technology in which electricity is produced from otherwise lost waste heat exiting from one or more gas (combustion) turbines.

The model «incorporates the addition of previously committed gas ‐ fired generation in the region in 2018» and cites the «CPV Valley unit, at 650 MW; and a generic combustion turbine unit at 90 MW».

«A comparison of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) revealed that the LCOE of $ 148 per MWh for the first CSP plants installed in 2009 is competitive with the simple cycle combustion turbine at an LCOE of $ 168 per MWh, assuming that the temporary 30 percent Investment Tax Credit is extended.

«As shown in Table ES - 2, CSP plants installed in 2015 are projected to exhibit a delivered LCOE of $ 115 / MWh, 2 compared with $ 168 / MWh for the simple cycle combustion turbine and $ 104 / MWh for combined cycle plants.
