EPRI’s Guideline on Chemistry for Fossil Units with Air-cooled Condensers (ACCs)
This paper provides the results of the first worldwide survey of a number of fossil and combined cycle/HRSG plants with air-cooled condensers (ACCs). It includes documentation of the surface condition of the duct surfaces, defining serious corrosion/flow accelerated corrosion regions and guidelines for operating plants with ACCs.

First 7FA.05 Gas Turbines go Commercial at Xcel Cherokee
Two new 2 × 1 combined cycles with the latest 7FA.05 gas turbine technology from GE came on line at Xcel Energy’s 569-MW unit at the existing Cherokee Generating Station in Denver in August. Commissioning came just three months after first fire in May, which is significant because of the summer peaking period and the location of Cherokee and its importance to the Denver grid.
