Waste Heat Recovery Trends

In 2021 half of the world's energy use was heat. And 51% of that global heat use came from industrial processes, e.g. in the steel and cement industry. Thus, without decarbonizing heat, net-zero will never be achieved. Our solution? Waste Heat Recovery. It is a powerful path to decarbonization. Learn more about new technologies, countries with potential, trends and how to overcome challenges in the field of Waste Heat Recovery published in Global Cement Magazine under www.globalcement.com/magazine

Steam 4.0 – Steam turbines under sucpercritical steam conditions

Since the market introduction of steam power plants with ultra-super critical steam conditions 20 years ago the majority of projects has mainly been on units larger than 600 MW. For these, the applied turbo sets consist of a high pressure and a medium pressure expansion arranged in separate turbine casings.

Resulting from the recently introduced financing guidelines for coal-fired steam power plants, super critical and ultra-super critical steam parameters also become more interesting for applications with smaller power output. To address this market, Siemens Energy introduced a combined high- and intermediate pressure turbine considering super critical steam conditions in order to provide a cost effective solution including the lower output range from 250 to 500 MW.

SeaFloat – Floating steam turbines

Floating power plants’ unique characteristic is the ability to deliver them in one piece; almost completely pre-installed following a smart plug & play philosophy. Our new SeaFloat floating power plant concepts can be utilized for mobile and/or permanent installation to alleviate energy shortages for national grid or industrial application. Mobility, flexibility, decentralized power generation, shorter construction time, reliable technology, robust design, optimization for easy maintenance bring benefits and increase your added value. 

The SeaFloat power plants range provides a choice of different gas turbine types and the Siemens Eergy steam turbine SST-600.
