Gut Rehab Turns South Jersey Cogen Plant into Electricity Market Gem
Five years of essentially no maintenance investment or capital improvement at the Eagle Point Power Generation facility in Westville, NJ, had clearly taken its toll by the time Rockland Capital acquired the facility in April 2012. Today, Eagle Point expects the plant capacity factor to approach 50% once the last of the capital improvements are finished. Those improvements include everything from a punch list of 146 maintenance activities as well as capital upgrades, including a new steam turbine/generator, wet compression and fogging, and a complete gas turbine optimization and augmentation package which helped avoid the $11-million cost of an SCR.

Protecting Steam Cycle Components During Low-Load Operation of Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Plants
The cyclic operation of peaking plants introduces challenges that can result in damage to steam cycle components. This article provides an overview of the components that may be affected by low-load operation and highlights some potential solutions and the trade-offs involved. For example, at low-load conditions it is often difficult to keep heat exchange surfaces below design temperatures or operationally limited temperature. Low-load operation also introduces enhanced risk of fatigue damage and accelerated life consumption for Grade 91 piping materials.
