  • Publication number: 20240383750
    Abstract: A method for providing Closed Loop Reformation (CLR) based synthesis gas (syngas) production processes and systems where the metal oxidation and reduction systems are decoupled from the system and process thereby avoiding the closed and coupled loop metal oxidation and reduction systems used with prior art CLR based syngas production processes and systems, and the high temperature complexities associated with prior art CLR based syngas production processes and systems.

  • Publication number: 20240231285
    Abstract: An asset management system helps ensure the safety of technicians performing maintenance on electrical power generation assets. The system includes an electronic device operated by a technician. Prior to performing maintenance on a power generation asset, the technician utilizes the electronic device to scan an identification marker on the asset. The electronic device then retrieves, from an asset database, status data regarding the safety status of the asset. The electronic device displays the status data to the technician.

  • Publication number: 20240146101
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling voltage and/or reactive power for electrical grids includes monitoring the output of the energy generation facilities at the point of interconnection (POI) of each energy generation facility to the power system of the electrical grid. In addition, the voltage at a point of utilization (POU) is monitored to determine when the output voltage of the energy generation facilities must be adjusted to maintain voltage at the POU. In addition, when it is determined that energy generation facilities are exchanging reactive power, the voltage set points of the energy generation facilities are adjusted to reduce the exchanged power.
