One way that utilities and energy architects are responding to the urgent need for resilient, reliable and sustainable energy is by incorporating distributed energy resources (DERs) into local microgrids. Offering extremely reliable and weather-proof power, hydrogen fuel cells are especially suitable as independent energy sources that can complement grid power. They can kick in immediately during grid failure at any

A great deal of work has gone into reducing and eliminating the carbon footprint in an economical and sustainable manner for utility and district energy applications. Much information has been presented on using hydrogen as a fuel for combustion gas turbines to support zero-carbon-emission CHP solutions. However, not enough has been said about applying the same approach to generate heating

A convergence of technology development, policy support, and industry investment trends are accelerating the pace of Hydrogen (H2) technology demonstrations, increasing the likelihood of power sector impacts. In preparation for a largescale power sector shift toward decarbonization for a low carbon future, several major power equipment manufacturers are developing gas turbines that can operate on a high H2-volume fuel. Many

Global pressure on the use of traditional fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 is enormous. Consequently, the gas turbine (GT) industry is taking action. One of the key efforts of reducing CO2 emissions in gas turbines is to shift the use of natural gas (typically CH4) to alternative fuels such as Hydrogen (H2). The various

The Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) is a consortium of community-owned utilities that join together to invest in energy resources that would ensure an affordable, reliable, and clean supply of electricity. The Lodi Energy Center (LEC) is the agency’s newest plant in the generation fleet. It is a 300-megawatt combined cycle power plant, located in California’s Central Valley. As the
