Significant droughts throughout the world have forced thermoelectric power producers to cut production, creating a risk of shortages. We find out how water management in power plants can be improved by equipping plants with fuel technologies that consume less water.
Also, we announce our Future Power Technology Award: Ones to Watch 2013, consider how power plants can ensure worker safety in confined spaces, discuss how organisations can cultivate a comprehensive safety management system and look at how Germany plans to integrate renewable energy into its power supply.
Moreover, we take a look at the challenges of maintaining marine turbines on the seabed, tackle the issue of mass kidnappings in the oil and gas industry and profile the top ten biggest wind farms and nuclear plants.

Next Issue
Plans for a tidal barrage generating power on the Severn estuary were dealt a further blow this year when the UK Government ruled out further development on the existing plans. We find out if this energy mega-project could still have a future.
With new research indicating that US water resources could support the growth of enough algae to produce 25 billion gallons of fuel a year, we ask why algae-based power production is still being overlooked. We ask analysts why the US represents the best conditions for new SMR installations and investigate Russia’s controversial floating nuclear power plant project.
Moreover, we find out more about the opening of NATO’s new Energy Security Centre and investigate how an effective recharging network can be developed to accommodate a growing number of ultra low-emission vehicles in the UK.
