ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE
Using Planning and Partnerships to Avoid Downtime
32
The technology used in hydropower plants, like other power plant equipment,
continues to advance. Hydropower plant owners today need to be more proactive
with their approach to repairs and equipment upgrades, and should
establish protocols to schedule work as part of an ongoing predictive maintenance
program to minimize downtime and optimize plant performance.

BUSINESS
Customer Demands Drive Change in Business Models
Energy companies have recognized the importance of deploying digital technologies
to move their business model forward. Utilities are investing in
digitization, helping them meet carbon reduction goals as they optimize operations,
and enabling personalized solutions for customers that are helping
control costs.
HYDROGEN
At the Dawn of the Hydrogen Economy
The hydrogen economy is growing, with many entities exploring how to produce
green hydrogen at scale, and at a price the market will pay. Siemens is
working toward that goal with its Silyzer module, which lies at the heart of the
company's proton exchange membrane electrolysis plant.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Technology in Construction: Choosing and Implementing Solutions 40
The second installment of POWER's three-part series on technology in the
construction industry focuses on how a company can select and use relevant
tools for a particular job site. It's particularly important to have a strategy
that fosters a culture of innovation and growth while holding fast to
discipline and documentation.
NATURAL GAS
How to Optimize Your Facility While Using Variable Quality Fuel Gas 42
Variations in fuel gas impact the safety, efficiency, and emissions of generators
and engines used in power generation facilities. An expert from Emerson
discusses how obtaining a mass flow measurement through the use of a Coriolis
flow meter, rather than relying on a standard volume flow measurement,
enables better control of the air-to-fuel ratio.
