GE, Toshiba team for H technology
Article Abstract:
General Electric and Toshiba Corp. have entered into a risk and revenue sharing agreement involving all future sales of the H System combined-cycle power block, which is intended to break the 60% thermal-efficiency barrier while supplying as much as 480 MW of electricity. The first H System gas turbine is being subjected to extensive factory trials in Greenville, SC, where it smoothly ran under full-speed, no-load test conditions in mid-May 1998. Full-load power plant trials are scheduled for 2000 with the first commercial power plant anticipated to run in 2001.

Fly ash carbon cutting technology debuts
Article Abstract:
Progress Materials Inc. has worked with the Electric Power Research Institute for the development of a new technology to enhance the quality of fly ash so it can be easily marketed. Fly ash sales are a good source of extra revenue for electric utilities, which sell the material produced from coal-fired plants to cement and concrete industries. The technology, dubbed Carbon Burn Out, enables the production of high-quality, low carbon fly ash and the heat obtained in the process enhances the efficiency of the host power plant by enhancing its heat rate.
