Title:	POWER
Keywords:	POWER July 2023 SPEAKING OF POWER Interconnection Constraints Threaten Success of Clean Energy Projects GLOBAL MONITOR Integration of Hydropower and Hydrogen Gains Momentum Space Solar Power Prototype Beams First Power to Earth THE BIG PICTURE: A Global Hydropower Profile POWER Digest FOCUS ON O&M Electric Utility Protocols Can Mitigate Impacts from Wildt'r LEGAL& REGULATORY Renewable Energy Insurers Trying to Limit Coverage for Severe Convective Storms By Jeffrey Meagher and Nick Chan, K&L Gates LLP Estrella del Mar III, a Visionary Floating Power Plant, Is POWER's Plant of the Year 14 POWER's highest honor goes to Estrella del Mar III, a 150-MW SeaFloat barge- mounted power plant that a team of international power professionals de- signed and built in Singapore, and then transported to and installed in the Dominican Republic. The innovative vessel-mounted gas-powered combined cycle power plant stands out for its efficient, economical, and resilient power solution that also addresses land and cost challenges REINVENTION AWARD Dania Beach Clean Energy Center: A Vital Power Resource for Southeast Florida 18 A modernization project at a gas-fired power plant serving an area near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has provided needed upgrades to the facility, and improved the reliability and resilience of the area's electricity supply. WATER AWARD Dominion Energy's Reverse Osmosis Concentrate Recovery System Wins POWER's Water Award 20 A successful project to reduce water consumption at a nuclear power plant in Virginia features new technologies, designed around a reverse osmosis concentrate recovery system supported by input from the plant's workers HYDROGEN AWARD Hydrogen Pilot Validates Fuel-Blending Projects 22 Hydrogen is proving itself as an important fuel when it comes to decarbon- izing the power generation sector. A project at a power plant in Michigan, using Wartsila technology, provides a glimpse at how hydrogen blended with natural gas can provide reliable electricity and reduce carbon emissions MID-YEAR INDUSTRY FORECAST Clean EnergyTransition Continues Despite Reliability, Supply Chain, and Financial Uncertainty The power generation sector continues to be challenged by supply chain and workforce issues, and concerns about grid reliability linger as groups warn of summer heat that could strain electricity resources. Industry insiders who spoke with POWER said energy storage will grow in importance to alleviate at least some of the problems. DISTRIBUTED ENERGY Not Your Mother's Microgrid Microgrids are a major part of the evolution of power generation, and the continuing incorporation of new technologies is enabling new levels of sophistication when it comes to their design. MARNIE SURFACEBLOW High Anxiety at Low Loads The new world of power generation brings new challenges for plant opera- tors and maintenance staff. Paying attention to detail, and knowing the latest information about plant systems and equipment, is a key to success. WEB-SAFETY Three Solutions to Fire Safety Challenges: Lessonsfrom the Energy Storage Industry Web While energy storage systems often carry lower fire risks than other forms of energy storage and processing-such as oil and gas refineries-the industry must answer some important questions about safety to avoid regulatory con- straints, community opposition, and clear up the confusion about whether energy storage systems are safe.

WEB-MATERIALS Developing Coatings for Use in Harsh Biomass Combustion Environments Web There is a real need to assess the potential for the use of different materi- als and coatings. Currently, the response to the new environments caused by low-carbon fuels has been the use of expensive nickel-based materials or coatings. This article looks at the behavior of three different coatings subject- ed to the new biomass environment.
