“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush‚ who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years‚ which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn’t rise a great deal afterwards‚ this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy in a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity‚ the device may be called a wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery‚ such as for grinding grain or pumping water‚ the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly‚ it may be referred to as a wind

auto parts manufacturer is planning to expand its struggling ABC Filters into filters for Gas Turbines. Recently ABC ’s R&D department developed a cartridge-shaped ’E-10 ’ synthetic filter with a lot of superior features than it competitors. However ABC lacks deep knowledge about the natural gas power generation filter market. This presentation is attempting to assess the attractiveness of Gas Turbine filter market and providing a market strategy to ABC Filters for their product launch. Market

to techniques of combined cycle gas turbine power plants. It is evident that the demand can be met either by increasing the productivity or by making use of alternatives such as the solar energy‚ tidal energy‚ OTEC etc.‚ but the factor of efficiency and performance must also be considered for the better utilization of input. So‚ comparatively to the alternative source of energy‚ solar energy‚ gas energy‚ nuclear energy are more efficient. Several gas turbines are being widely used for power generation
