Tulsa, OK (May 29, 2014) Powerphase Vice President of Global Sales, Steve Quisenberry, shared the panel with Experts from the Electric Power Research Institute and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory discussing flexible power generation. As larger amounts of renewable power are added to the grid, increasing the  flexibility of gas-fired power plants is a high priority for most power plant managers and utility executives. Steve discussed why Turbophase is the most flexible gas-fired generation available in the world today, including insights into how Turbophase is able to achieve a 60 second start time and combined cycle efficiency. Steve also discussed the Turbophase GSX upgrade which allows customers to meet the PJM Dynamic Signal (RegA).

Southport, CT (April 30, 2014) – Turbophase was recently featured in Gas Turbine World, a respected gas turbine industry publication. Important excerpts from the article include: “Air injection restores gas turbine power lost to hot day operation.  An important aspect of air injection worth noting according to Bob Kraft, is that there is no ‘netting’ effect for the power boost – meaning that air injection does not draw down any energy from the gas turbine system or the grid. Better than alternatives: Building new simple cycle peaking plants is an option. However, the capital cost is significantly higher than Turbophase. Also the heat rate for even the latest intercooled gas turbine is about 1,000 Btu/kWh higher.

Jupiter, FL (March 27, 2014 )  – Bob Kraft has been invited to present at the spring CTOTF conference in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Bob’s talk, entitled “Turbophase: Air-Injection Power Boost” will discuss how Turbophase replaces unused capacity existent in the gas turbine at simple or combined cycle plants at all ambient temperatures above zero degrees celsius (thirty degrees fahrenheit), allowing the gas turbine to operate at ISO conditions at all times. The incremental power produced by Turbophase is significant and the incremental efficiency of Turbophase is better than gas turbines in simple cycle configuration. “CTOTF brings together some of the most respected people in the Gas Turbine industry”, said Kraft. “We are happy to be able to have a presence at this prestigious gas turbine user conference.”About CTOTF: The CTOTF™ is a membership organization of combustion turbine owners/operators (“Users”).  The organization’s user-defined mission continues to be the premier forum for the exchange of information and experiences related to the design, operations and maintenance of combustion turbine and combined cycle power plants, and to provide a collective voice for its members to express issues and concerns to the combustion turbine industry.

Jupiter, FL (March 11, 2014 ) – Bob Kraft will participate on a panel at the New York Best Capture the Energy Trade Show in Troy, NY. The session will highlight companies involved in thermal and mechanical energy storage who will discuss the latest development in the technology as well as the growing markets and applications for these technologies.Turbophase has an energy storage add-on component called Turbophase GSX that allows the base Turbophase to offer capacity with the additional features of a grid scale battery. The Turbophase storage option is 75% less expensive on a $/kW basis than grid scale batteries or flywheels.Turbophase also has a black start option, which has been interesting to many of the generators in New York. With Turbophase Black Start, a generator gets additional capacity when they want it, plus Black Start for a soft shutdown or restarting the plant. Compare this to the sunk cost of black start that is only there for emergencies, which are rare events.For most customers, the base Turbophase package makes the most sense commercially in today’s market, but for customers considering energy storage or black start already, Turbophase GSX & Turbophase Black Start produce better ROI than other commercially available energy storage or black start solutions.
