For over two decades now, natural gas has been the fuel of choice for power plants. In recent years manufacturers have focused on making the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) more efficient. We look at some of the best models on the market and see how they are improving efficiency for manufacturers.

Alstom has consolidated its position in the burgeoning tidal power market with its acquisition of tidal turbine manufacturer Tidal Generation Limited from Rolls-Royce. We find out more about Alstom’s plans for the company and ask if technologies used to harness tidal energy are ready to step up to the forefront of renewable generation.

We also take a look behind the rapid growth of the market for wind power technology, with a particular focus on innovations in gearbox and direct drive systems for wind turbines, and profile new wind power projects under construction.

IBM and its partners established the Smarter Energy Research Institute in 2012 to identify future priorities and challenges facing the industry. We catch up with the institute to discover the insights it has gathered on the future of smart energy.

We also find out how intelligent demand response systems could help optimise energy distribution and improve reserve margins, and take a look at the industry’s quest to build the ‘self-healing’ power grid – a system that can keep itself stable during normal conditions and self-recover in the event of a disturbance.

Moreover, we explore the progress of the smart metering roll-out in the UK and review new projections for its costs and long-term benefits, review different smart metering systems being developed for households and commercial users, and take a look at smart grid demonstration projects around the world to find out how far new technologies have progressed.
