But utilities are also taking a leading role and com- rmitting to cut carbon emissions. Goals are sometimes driven by customer ‘and shareholder demands, but more end more often, economics have been the motivating factor. FEATURES: NUCLEAR ‘A New Frontier for Nuclear Fuels Though advanced reactor technologies have sucked up the oxygen in conver- sations about innovations that could reshape nuclear power's future, a fren- 27 of activity in nuclear fuel development is perhaps more notable. POWER asked major fuel manufacturers from the U.S., Canada, France, and Russia, {as well as leading nuclear scientists, how and why new fuels, some of which are already being deployed, could enhance performance and boost plant eco- nomics, safety, and efficiency. ENERGY STORAGE Flow Batteries: Energy Storage Option for a Variety of Uses The growth of energy storage is yet another transformative change for the power generation industry Lithium-ion batteries have been the leading tech nology for most of todays applications, but flow batteries are proving their worth in long-duration usage applications and situations that require regular cycling throughout the day. ELECTRIFICATION Driving Change on the Grid—The Impact of EV Adoption Utilities and grid operators need to prepare now for the increased power de- ‘mand from the electrification of transportation, as more electric vehicles (EVs) hit the road in the U.S. and worldwide. Regions with high concentrations of EVs will see impacts and may need upgrades to transmission systems, but proactive power generators could see benefits from these higher loads. nen209| rowER wor powermag com 22 26 28 30 ONTHE COVER The list of states, cities, and even power companies that are implementing clean energy goals is expanding. That means new wind and solar installations will continue to grow. The US. Energy Infor mation Administration expects electric ity generation from renewable energy sources will increase from a 17% share Of the U.S. mix in 2019 to 20% this year and 21% in 2021. Even with federal tax credits disappearing, declining costs are ‘making renewables an attractive option.

They could, though, look for an alternate approach, designing a system to work with heat sources such ‘as waste heat from power plants. A case study details how this method works. MAINTENANCE BEST PRACTICES New Technology Improves Refractory Maintenance and Shutdown Planning 0 The transformation of power generation ie about more then just innova tive technologies. It includes new maintenance tools, designed to minimize planned maintenance outages and save time as service is performed, reduc- ing costs and increasing worker safety. GAS-FIRED GENERATION How to Clean Natural Gas Piping with Gas Blows 42 ‘Systems at gas-fired power plants must be properly cleaned before newly installed piping and valves are placed into service. This cleaning removes de- bris, left behind during construction, that could possibly damage equipment. fs @ complicated procedure that requires cleaning force calculations, and do- tailed and accurate sequencing steps, to ensure success, WATER ‘Types of Filtration Systems Used for Wastewater Applications 46 Water filtration is key for the efficient operation of power plants, and there are a number of filters to fit various wastewater treatment systems. An expert from a commercial fitration supplier discusses the types of filters that work ‘across @ range of power plants. OFFSHORE POWER Gravity Base Ballast Provides Tidal Turbines with a Sturdy Grip Web Offshore turbines offer a lot of promise for the power industry. Besides de- sign, ballast is a critical element responsible for a turbine’s stabilization and, therefore, its success. Ballast quality, density, and weight, defined by the ma terial choice, contribute to the performance level of the entire system. New cast iron ballast is proving to be a solid choice.
