Power plants with combined cycle gas turbines and supercritical carbon dioxide
When renewable energies are rendered inert by nature, traditional measures have to take their place and perform as optimally as possible, keeping efficiency in mind. James Lawson talks to Professor Piero Colonna, chair of propulsion and power at Delft University of Technology's aerospace engineering faculty about embracing prompt power plants with combined cycle gas turbines and supercritical carbon dioxide as the future of the sector.
Procedures to prevent power stations from becoming defunct, derelict or dangerous
Nuclear power plants have only been a part of the modern landscape for the past 50 years or so. As they were originally built with relatively short-life designs in mind, the energy industry continually faces issues relating to concrete-structure aging and the logistics of life extension. Sophie Peacock speaks to John Moore, a nuclear engineer, about the procedures in place that can prevent power stations from becoming defunct, derelict or dangerous.
