Sentences with phrase «plant efficiency when»

GE's H - class heavy - duty gas turbines are currently the world's largest and most efficient gas turbines, capable of converting fuel and air into electricity at more than 62 percent power - plant efficiency when matched with a steam turbine generator, a setup known as combined cycle.

Not exact matches

No manager operates his or her plants at 80 % efficiency when steps could be taken that would increase output.

Another aspect of the plan that is likely to see significant airing in future hearings is the rule's «outside the fence line» approach, which allows states to look beyond power plant modifications to demand - side efficiency and the adoption of renewable energy when controlling greenhouse gas emissions.

Kind of similar to the whole nitrate / nitrite conundrum where plant - sourced nitrates (from beets and arugula) get metabolized in the stomach and re-sent to the mouth where, instead of becoming carcinogenic nitrosamines (as is what happens when you consume nitrates from meat), they become NO and increase our oxygen efficiency.

When measuring the quality of proteins, meaning, the efficiency with which the proteins of these different foods are used within the body, it is found that the weight gained from animal protein is greatly larger than any possible weight gained from plant protein.

When it comes to America and goes on sale at an as yet undetermined price, the 2015 e-Golf will represent a factory once written off as uncompetitive and a company in the midst of transformation, determined to reduce energy use and material waste in its plants, to use lightweight, hot - formed steel wherever possible, and to scrape away every gram of excess metal from engine components for better efficiency.

The Honda Civic's 1.8 - liter power plant has remained untouched by the sweeping changes made to the automobile, which means that it continues to deliver 140 ponies and 128 lb - ft of torque, along with 29 - mpg city and 41 - mpg highway when ordered in the efficiency - focused HF model.

When the 33 % efficiency of coal fired power plants (no it is not 40 % for these) is factored in, as well as the high rate of CO2 per BTU, the plugging in turns out to be not a good thing.

The additional electrical output per unit of fuel as well as valuable efficiencies in water consumption and emissions should make the latest technology (when viewed over the life of the plant) highly attractive.

Laboratory evidence suggests that the effectiveness of photosynthesising organisms is badly hindered when CO2 levels drop below about 200ppm (and indeed commercial greenhouses pump in extra CO2 to improve the efficiency of some plant growth — my non-researched background is that tomato plants particularly respond well to this), but the geological evidence suggests that life can tolerate far higher atmospheric CO2 levels.

An early turning point in the coal war came in June 2007, when Florida's Public Service Commission refused to license a huge $ 5.7 - billion, 1,960 - megawatt coal plant because the utility proposing it could not prove that building the plant would be cheaper than investing in conservation, efficiency, or renewable energy.

An efficient power plant produces relatively little black carbon, but back when England was obtaining most of its industrial power by burning up all its forests, it seems unlikely that efficiency was on anyone's mind until most of England's forests were gone.

The missing variable fallacy of neglecting a factor entirely, implicitly treating it as 0 % effect, minimizing mention to quickly skip on (except when the target audience unavoidably already has heard of it), is common when something is so extraordinarily dangerous to the CAGW movement as to be he - who - must - not - be-named to them, a distinction which belongs to the magnitude of beneficial effects of CO2 (several tens of percent rise in plant growth rates under a more extreme scenario of CO2 doubling, plus as huge a rise in water usage efficiency, if the plants aren't underfertilized meanwhile) and to the dominating influence of cosmic rays on climate as in the link in my name.

(See «Improve Plant Efficiency and Reduce CO2 Emissions When Firing High - Moisture Coals» in the November 2014 issue.)

The Latin word «fortuna» means «luck» or «destiny,» and when officially commissioned on May 22 this year, Fortuna represented both the current technological apex of gas turbine development and pointed the way forward for how natural gas — powered plants can compete with and eventually potentially replace coal in Germany and in other locations around the world while continuing to drive down CO2 emissions (see sidebar «Never - ending Competition for Greater Efficiency»).

Owned by the newer version of E.ON, the CHP plant can achieve a total efficiency greater than 95 % when taking into consideration both heat and power generation.

Or will they turn to renewables and energy efficiency to fill the gap when the plants retire?

Lausward Power Plant's Fortuna Unit — POWER's 2016 Plant of the Year — achieves about 85 % efficiency when operated in cogeneration mode while serving Düsseldorf's district heating.

That is, when the efficiency of the back - up plants was reduced by over 2 percent due to cycling caused by the integration of wind energy into the system, fuel use and emissions of the back - up plants increased.

When a plant's efficiency is reduced, its fuel consumption and emissions increase, causing unintended consequences that wind proponents do not disclose.

When mature, the technology — currently in the small - scale testing phase — promises to be an efficiency game - changer for fossil - fired power plants.

Simple cycle gas turbine plants (dashed line) required similar prices to gas - fired thermal plants until 1985 - 90, when improving turbine efficiency reduced fuel and lowered required prices.
