The advent of the smart grid, and the addition of generation from renewable resources, also is increasing the need for processes designed to enhance the use of data, How NRG Energy Uses lloT Technology to Optimize Asset Performance and Predict Failures icing to Help Reduce Emissions ‘nance; one NRG Energy station incorporated new wireless: along with data from its existing historian system, to better identity perfor ‘mance issues in real time, ‘Supporting Grid Demand with Renewables The increased presence of renewable energy resources on the power grid presents challenges for those tasked with balancing power supply with power ‘demand. Internet of Things-based management systems are a valuable too! to achieve this balance, providing automation and other technologies to sup- iable operations and lower energy costs. Fending Of Forced Power Plant Outages atiable generation, climate change-related extreme events, and have added new risks to power plant operation, raising the potential for forced outages. Here's how you can better prepare for these fac tors and avoid unplanned shutdowns. Feary 2 8 22 24 ONTHE COVER The increased digitization of power plant control systems, and monitoring and di- agnostics applications, means that artf ial intelligence (Al) and the Internet of Things (loT) are becoming synonymous with electricity generation.

Read ebout the causes of pump transient cavitation, nd learn about a screening technique for identifying poor designs, along with corrective measures to solve problems. OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE How to Avoid Full Refractory System Failure in Wood Combustion 30 Refractory mat n is key to addressing the challenging and evolv- ing environment for facilites that burn wood for power generation. Operators should work with an experienced refractory expert to help determine the best combination of refractory products to meet a plant's specific requirements, Cleaning Boiler Superheaters with a Mobile Shockwave Method 32 The formation of fouling and clinkers on superheater bundles can diminish boiler efficiency in thermal power plants. Removing this sedimentation is a critical maintenance issue, s0 a cleaning method that helps eliminate down- time and that can be done remotely is important to overall plant operations.
