Improving alarm management in the new digital world

Galen George, Director of Business Development and Marketing, Siemens Energy

Feb 11th – 10:15-11am

Exhibit Hall Booth 3740

By coupling the use of Big Data Management with advanced alarm and plant process analytics, the concept of appropriately reducing plant alarms can be facilitated for more effective plant operations and reduced workload on operations staff. Siemens Energy is employing multiple layers of advanced alarming strategies coupled with automated analytics to make the process of plant alarm optimization a virtually automated process. In this presentation, discover how the company is revolutionizing plant operations with automated alarm optimization, reducing operator workload and enhancing efficiency like never before.

Flexing for the future: Enhancing combined cycle plant flexibility

Galen George, Director of Business Development and Marketing, Siemens Energy

February 11th: 11:15 - 12:00

Location: Exhibit Hall Booth 3740

As the energy market continues to transition, the pressures being placed on traditional fossil generation are changing with it. As a result, the gas-fired Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) fleet is continuously being required to operate under different circumstances. With flexibility being one of these key aspects, many plants are transitioning to transient operations, starting and stopping multiple times a week.

This presentation will demonstrate how Combined Cycle Plants can improve their reliability, flexibility and market appeal for maximizing its operational profile within any local power market, using modification to the control or the plant and the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI).

Optimizing hybrid energy systems for reliable and cost-effective data center power

Joshua Brooks, Sustainable Energy Systems Designer, Siemens Energy

February 11th: 3:00pm - 3:45pm

Location: C145

The rapidly accelerating data center market will not be possible without reliable, sustainable and affordable power. In this case study, we’ll analyze a data center’s needs and design a system that balances renewable energy, stable backup power and cost-effectiveness. The presentation of this use case, the various identified energy system designs and the overarching system implications will contribute to the development of more sustainable and cost-competitive future data center power solutions.

Leveraging energy storage solutions in hybrid power plant configurations

Andrew Crosby, Solutions Integration Manager, Siemens Energy

February 12th: 10:00am - 10:45am

Location: C146

Grid operators face challenges in maintaining a reliable and stable power supply, but innovative technologies such as hydrogen-powered gas turbines, flywheels and battery energy storage can be integrated into a hybrid power plant to improve grid reliability.

Through case studies of real UK frequency events and simulation results, this session will highlight developments at the power system level, demonstrating the benefits of integrating these technologies into a hybrid plant with a common plant controller. The session will conclude with a showcase of the world’s first hybrid synchronous condenser, flywheel and battery energy storage plant, along with its groundbreaking impact on grid management.

Cycling into the future: Enhancing CCPP flexibility amidst renewable integration

Omar Rubio, Plant Solutions Product Manager, Siemens Energy

February 12th: 4:00pm - 4:45pm

Location: C144

The increasing share of renewables in the generation mix, coupled with fluctuating fuel prices and evolving government policies, is compelling combined-cycle power plants to shift from baseload to more flexible, cyclical operation modes. This shift is paramount to maintain profitability and support grid reliability in the face of a dynamic energy landscape.

The outlook for geothermal power

Brian Ziems, Component Engineering Manager, Siemens Energy

February 13th: 10:30am - 11:15am

Location: C141

Several U.S. states are working to deploy geothermal energy to improve energy efficiency and diversify their clean energy mixes. This session will provide an overview and future outlook of geothermal power generation, discussing the different technologies in the space and highlighting the potential for geothermal to expand as a reliable, renewable energy source. The session will highlight an innovative approach that leverages geologically stored CO₂ to enable dispatchable energy production.
