Solar Power Plant Maintenance with Thermal UAV Inspection Technology 30
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) save time and make completing inspections
far easier and safer than performing the task with hand-held devices.
With dual-camera attachments, inspectors can feel confident that no real
anomalies will be missed and that false indications can be quickly identified
and rejected.

How to Prevent Condensation-Induced Water Hammer
30
Rapid condensation of water vapor by cold water can create condensationinduced
water hammer (CIWH), a condition that can produce pipe movements
and noise. This article provides information about the types and
causes of CIWH, and what can be done to prevent it.

What Is Killing This Biomass Boiler? Marnie and Maya Are on the Case!
When a Louisiana power plant with a stoker furnace designed to burn sugar
cane waste adds poultry litter to its fuel supply, slag becomes a problem.
Marnie and Maya investigate the situation, find a few contributing factors,
and resolve the issues.
PLANT FLEXIBILITY
Optimizing Power Plant Load Flexibility
Managing the variability of renewable energy resources is of increasing importance
to traditional power generators. Implementing field-proven control
solutions provides a way to mitigate impacts on efficiency and reliability.
ELECTRICAL
Commissioning and Acceptance Testing Are the
Foundation for Total Electrical System Lifecycle Management
32
To manage the challenges of today's complex electrical power systems and
tightening budgets, facility managers need to understand the critical connection
between electrical commissioning and acceptance testing, and planning
for lifecycle management. This article reviews the scope of services required
for each stage of the process. (Visit powermag.com and search " Total Electrical
