Operation and Control in Power Systems. Davis' domain knowledge “The Steam Cycle Solutions packages more than 30 years of experience in advanced control systems for boilers, delivering optimized operation and savings in the running of customers' boilers,” said Rick Davis. €�Electric Power is Everywhere Present In Unlimited Quantities, It Can Drive The World's Machinery Without The Need Of Coal, Oil, Gas Or Any Other Fuel”. When compared to other generating sources, nuclear power plants have a relatively high construction cost—but a relatively low operating cost—and thus are often referred to as baseload generating assets. Why Are There So Many Generation Types? Nuclear power plants make steady power and steady income for the utility at a low and controlled fuel cost that isn't subject to rapid market fluctuations or interruptions in supply—and they do this all day and night. What this means for a power producer is that a variety of technologies have to be leveraged to ensure there is continuous operation within a region. However, today's energy world is evolving. For expertise, GE turned to one of the most respected voices in power generation—Rick Davis, an expert with over 30 years of experience in the design and implementation of boiler control systems. If supply-demand balances are not controlled within safe operating limits, power grid stabilities and reliability will be automatically adjusted. The demand for coal for electricity production is expected to further increase; by 2020 it is predicted that coal for power generation will account for about 63% of total coal consumption.
