The urgency of developing renewable power generation in Russia is associated with the presence of a large number of regions with a low degree of electrification. More than two-thirds of the territory of Russia is located in the area of decentralized power supply, where the main source of energy is imported diesel fuel or associated gas from local fields. At present, one of the directions for the development of renewable power generation in Russia is the implementation of a hybrid power supply system for autonomous power systems of remote regions. However, along with the possibility of using renewable energy sources, it is important for such regions to generate heat from co-generation of diesel power plants, since there is an urgent problem of heat supply for remote regions, especially located in the Far North of Russia. This article presents an analysis of the influence of using renewable energy sources in autonomous power systems on co-generation of diesel power plants.

Market requirements for the gas turbine business have significantly changed in the last years due to a stronger demand for lifecycle cost optimization and the increased share of renewable energy. Gas turbine technology development focus must be adapted accordingly. The need for increased efficiency throughout the operation range, particularly at part load, requires more accurate and faster design methods and prediction capabilities. At the same time, technologies must be developed and validated to increased flexibility in many areas, including unlimited operation range (without aerodynamic, mechanical or emission constraints), fuel types and composition, and faster ramp up rates (despite the increased thermal stress to gas turbine components) to stabilize the grid and to compensate for intermittent renewable power generation. Further lifecycle optimization counts on new technologies in reconditioning, lifetime monitoring and improved lifetime prediction. This paper provides an overview of the recent research and development activities, the approach to bring them into a product and the resulting trend in Alstom gas turbine technologies.

Electricity is a pre-requisite for technological progress and economy growth. Thailand has been facing an electric energy crisis in inadequate electricity generation capacity compared with the demand. It is essential to replace the conventional energy (e.g. fossil fuels) with renewable energy resources, particularly biomass that can play a major role to meet the electricity demand. A modified deming PDCA management has been proposed for power generation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the future electricity consumption as well as to explore the current state of renewable energy potential in Nakhonratchasima Province, Thailand. The results show an electricity energy potential of from agricultural residues, livestock manure and solar energy resources. It is indicated that each these resources can supply the electricity demand excesses. The selection of renewable power generation is mainly driven by the installation cost and the availability of renewable energy resources. The power plant from livestock manures resources is found to be the most promising because its power plant installation requires lower investment in this study.
