New data prove C-T's reliability

Article Abstract:

Data from 76 combustion-turbine plants was collected to test reliability and availability. The test was conducted under certain conditions: equalization of early breakdowns, distinguishing between inherent and noninherent failures, and reliability parameters. It was found that combined turbines are highly rated in reliability and availability can be improved by outage planning.

How solid is reliability?

Article Abstract:

The North American Electric Reliability Council estimates that peak electric power usage will rise about 1.8% per year from 1992 to 2001. The resources needed to distribute the power for each region of the US are examined.
