•    The experience of development and construction of GTPP and CCPP on the base of GTE-110 gas turbine power plants.
The application of domestic gas turbine engines and combined cycle power plants on their base in Russian power engineering industry not only increase the independence of national power system from the import. It also gives the opportunity to Russian industrial enterprises to develop their production and to develop advanced effective and reliable heavy duty gas turbines. At present several power stations on the base of GTE-110 gas turbine power plant were constructed and commissioned. Among them are: gas turbine plant of Ispytatelny Stend JSC on the site of Ivanovskiye PGU JSC, power units M1 and M2 of PGU-325 combined cycle power station of Ivanovskiye PGU JSC, GTE-110 gas turbine power plant on the site of Ryazanskaya GRES-24 (OGK-6) thermal power station.
•    Lubricating oils for distributed power generation.
Rosnejt oil company developed own range of lubricating oils for gas engines. GEO 404 and 408 oils are low-ash oils for two-stroke and four-stroke gas engines running on natural gas. The oils are specially designed for use where both imported (Caterpillar, Jenbacher, Perkins, and Deutz) and domestically produced turbocharged engines are running under high loads and temperatures. The low-ash composition allows using GEO oils in the engines which are provided with exhaust catalytic converter systems and run on lean and stoichiometric fuel mixtures. The oils comprise the functional package of imported additives consisting of the ashless dispersants.

•    MKS Group of companies constructed power station on the site of the biggest gold-processing plant.
The power station was commissioned on the site of Svetlinskaya gold-processing plant which is an affiliate of Yuzhuralzoloto Group of companies. All construction and commissioning works were carried out by the specialists of MKS Group of companies. Equipment assembling period was just two weeks. The station was developed on the base of two TCG 2020 V20 gas engine power plants each rated at 2000 kW. The station operates on the cogeneration mode. Recovered waste heat from the exhaust gases and engines' jacket is used in existing heating system of the enterprise. The station is equipped with ТЕМ control system.
•    Cascaded steam and Organic Rankine Cycles with Kaishan Compressor Screw Expenders.
Low pressure saturated steam exists in a lot of industries. The recovery of the energy from the low pressure saturated steam can save tremendous power consumption for those industries. Although the Rankine cycle with a steam turbine can be used to generate the power from the low pressure saturated steam, the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine is low, the reliability is questionable due to the two phase expansion, and the size is typically large due to the low pressure.
•    SDMO: 50 years of experience and a leading position on the energy market.
This year was very eventful for SDMO Industries SAS. The company changed its brand to KOHLER-SDMO. Founded in 1966 in Brest (France) by the Meunier Group, SDMO Industries is today the third biggest player worldwide in the generating set market. Initially the main task of the company was to distribute MWM marine engines. Later in 1969 SDMO moves towards the manufacture of generating sets and phases out the distribution of marine engines. After its regional success, in 1973 SDMO decides to develop its presence on the French market opening an office in Paris and building its head office and an adjacent plant to accommodate for its growth. Then two sales offices were opened in France to strengthen the national development. SDMO set up a distribution network in Africa and took on its first export sales representative. Thanks to considerable success in Libya, SDMO established itself in the region and won an increasing number of contracts in the Middle East and French-speaking Africa.
•    Lubricating oil thermal oxidation stability is effective way for costs saving of the enterprise.
Service life durability of turbine lubricating oil is affected by great number of factors connected with operational conditions of gas turbine plant. Among them are: water contamination, presence of insoluble and other types of impurities, operational temperature, the quality and promptness of technical maintenance of the turbine. At that to evaluate oil condition, its remaining lifetime, and also gas turbine condition is possible only in accordance with the results of analyses of the oil conducted in specialized laboratory. Suitable high-quality turbine oil in conditions of regular control and maintenance will serve long ajar. In result it gives the opportunity to avoid substantial losses connected with gas turbine outages which amount to million rubles per day. Prevalently the outages of the turbines are connected with filtering elements change, lubricating oil replacement, etc.
•    KG2 gas turbine: operation experience and advantages of design.
The Dresser-Rand KG gas turbine family comprises nearly 1,000 units produced and installed in the field and has accumulated more than 25 million operating hours, with some high-time engines running for more than 245,000 continuous hours. The highly efficient KG2-3G gas turbine is the successor of the successful KG 2-3 С and E gas turbine products. It is designed to meet ever more demanding emission regulations, making it ideally suited for continuous power generation on and offshore, as well as for emergency and stand-by power supply. Because of its simple, low-maintenance design, high reliability and operational experience.
•    Evaluation of gas compressor station operation.
The number of gas compressors being installed on each compressor station of cross-country pipeline and their arrangement effect significantly to the availability, fuel consumption and effectiveness of the whole system. The article presents the degree of impact evaluation of such factors as gas turbine type and arrangement of compressors at the site of compressor station. Economic benefit of gas compressor station operation significantly depends on the type of compressors. Important factors at that are also operation costs (fuel cost especially) and the price of the equipment taking into account service life of the equipment. The number and arrangement of the compressors at the site, driver type and presence of stand-by power plants, driver and compressors types effect to the costs, fuel consumption, operational flexibility. Capital costs for the project consist of the equipment price and costs for its installation. The price of the equipment includes the price of driving engine, compressor and baseplate, but also the price of auxiliary systems.
