EcoUrja is a renewable energy company in India developing solar power projects with a goal of establishing 20,000 MW of solar generation capacity by 2022, as part of India's National Solar Mission. The company is seeking strategic partners to help build a pipeline of solar parks primarily using photovoltaic technology with an initial focus on projects in Rajasthan of 2-25 MW in size that would be funded through a 70:30 debt to equity structure. EcoUrja has assembled an experienced management team to oversee developing, financing, constructing and operating these solar power projects.
Small and Modular Reactors..A Paradigm Shift in Nuclear Power RisksHIMADRI BANERJI
In the past, the trend in nuclear power reactor technology development showed an emphasis towards large reactors due to the economies of scale, which produced reactor designs on to 1600 MWe. A development of SMRs points into the opposite
direction, i.e. towards smaller outputs with an equivalent electrical power of less than 700MWe.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERT GAS TURBINES
The aims of the O&M of Gas Turbines Workshop is to share the experiences of our internationally renowned expert with an aim to prevent such incidents and also to examine the factors and opportunities to increase plant safety, environmental performance. And improve uptime and availability all factors contributing to higher profitability.
The workshop will also examine scheduled maintenance and turnarounds which are opportunities to increase plant safety and environmental performance. By enhancing the mechanical integrity of HPI facilities, operating companies can achieve and maintain higher uptime and equipment availability; all are factors that contribute to higher profitability. Best-of-class companies hold the mindset that reliability programs provide great benefits. Investing in new monitoring and conditioning systems, along with preventive maintenance and inspection programs, can optimize unit and total facility performance.
The development of dry low NOx (DLN) combustors for gas turbines has cut the industry's consumption of water, while dramatically slashing air emissions. Unfortunately, this environmental enhancement has created an engineering challenge: The lean-burning DLN combustors are prone to flame instability, which can cause pressure pulsations large enough to destroy the combustor, launching debris downstream where it annihilates other hot-gas-path components. To detect and correct flame instability before it causes millions of dollars of turbine damage, savvy users have begun to install advanced sensors and robust software that monitor the combustor dynamics in real time.
High dynamics can limit hardware life and/or system operability. Thus, there have been various attempts to control combustion dynamics, to prevent degradation of system performance. There are two basic methods for controlling combustion dynamics in an industrial gas turbine combustion system: passive control and active control. As the name suggests, passive control refers to a system that incorporates certain design features and characteristics to reduce dynamic pressure oscillations. Active control, on the other hand, incorporates a sensor to detect, e.g., pressure fluctuations and to provide a feedback signal.
Which, When suitably processed by a controller, provides an input signal to a control device. The control device in turn operates to reduce the dynamic pressure oscillations. The workshop will examine the factors and the issues associated with combustor dynamics, and technologies like AMFM/CFM.
