pushing sales of the AP1000 in countries like the UK,
India, and Brazil, is reportedly considering new engineering
partners for future projects, however, and it could invite new
investors into Westinghouse. " Several companies " have already
expressed interest, it has said. Shaw will likely focus on
upgrading the output of existing nuclear plants.
" Westinghouse continues to believe that the future of the
nuclear energy industry is robust, and that a significant number
of additional new construction projects around the world
will be announced over the next few years, " said Dr. Aris
S. Candris, president and CEO of Westinghouse. " To further
ensure that we are able to maintain our leadership role in
the successful deployment of new plants, and to fulfill the
expectations of our customers and other stakeholders, we will

Power Group at Shaw to capture and share best practices. "

New Peaking Plant to Balance
California's Renewables
As utilities in California are scrambling to meet the state's
33% renewable mandate by 2020, a 49.6-MW peaking plant in
Modesto, Calif., built by Finnish firm Wärtsilä for the Modesto
Irrigation District, has been commissioned to provide flexible,
fast-start peaking generation to balance the state's increase
in intermittent renewable generation (Figure 4).
The Woodland 3 Generation Project gas power plant, commissioned
in July, is a modular plant that features six generating
sets based on 20-cylinder Wärtsilä 34SG engines
running on natural gas, which meet the stringent California
state permit requirements. The flexible power plant is able to
dispatch any or all of the six units and reach full plant output
in five minutes or provide 25% power in just two minutes,
Wärtsilä said. " The concept represents a multi-unit solution
with the highest simple cycle efficiency available in the industry, "
the firm added.
