DESCRIPTION:Near You Event - Combined Cycle Gas Turbines in Today's Electri
 city Market\n\nEvent Type: Technical lecture\n\nIndustry Sector: Energy tr
 ansfer & thermofluid mechanics\n\nSpeak Details: Andrew Sclater is a Chart
 ered Mechanical Engineering with 15 years of experience in the Power Gener
 ation industry.  He has worked on CCGT power plants across Europe\, South 
 East Asia and North America.\n\nDescription : Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (
 CCGT) Power Plants built in the UK\, and the rest of Europe\, were built o
 n the forecast of high running hours and load factors\, with the plant des
 igns optimized to extract maximum efficiency.&nbsp\; Over the last 3 to 5 
 years there has been a significant reduction in CCGT operating hours and l
 oad factors both in the UK and across the rest of Europe\, this is a resul
 t of various factors\, including the reduction in price of coal\, collapse
  in the price of carbon\, reduction in consumer demand\, and increased ren
 ewable penetration in the market.&nbsp\; These factors have significantly 
 changed the commercial feasibility for CCGTs and changed how they are rewa
 rded in the market.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; \n\nThis presentation will cover the fol
 lowing areas:\n&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nb
 sp\; Changes to electricity market that CCGTs have responded to\n&bull\;&n
 bsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; How this has affect
 ed the operating profile of CCGTs \n&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nb
 sp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The technical challenges the new operating profi
 le presents\n&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp
 \; Opportunities to remain competitive in the current market and future vi
