Digital Exclusive: Mitigating structural resonance in an electric motor support: A field case study

Rotating equipment operating near structural natural frequencies is prone to resonance, resulting in elevated vibration levels and potential long-term damage. This article discusses a field case involving persistent axial vibration on an electric motor despite acceptable performance during decoupled workshop testing. The discrepancy prompted a full diagnostic investigation, including bump testing, modal analysis and structural reinforcement.

IHI and GE Vernova achieve milestone with 100% ammonia combustion in large-scale test

The demonstration was conducted at IHI’s purpose-built test facility, engineered to replicate GE Vernova’s F-class gas turbine operating conditions.

Digital Exclusive: The future of gas turbines in the green revolution

With the rise of renewables wreaking dramatic changes to gas turbine operational modes, there is now an increased focus on minimizing operational costs. Gas turbines may be here to stay, but filter systems must remain relevant and efficient, as well. While today’s gas turbines run almost exclusively on fossil fuels like natural gas, it would be a misconception to consider them obsolete technology. Not only are gas turbines extremely efficient, but they possess qualities that are not just desirable but will remain essential even in a future energy system completely separated from the carbon-emitting fuels that presently dominate it.
