  2. Heavy fuel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil

    Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a category of fuel oils of a tar-like consistency. Also known as bunker fuel , or residual fuel oil , HFO is the result or remnant from the distillation and cracking process of petroleum .

  3. Load-following power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-following_power_plant

    A load-following power plant, regarded as producing mid-merit or mid-priced electricity, is a power plant that adjusts its power output as demand for electricity fluctuates throughout the day. [1] Load-following plants are typically in between base load and peaking power plants in efficiency, speed of start-up and shut-down, construction cost ...

  4. Hydrofluoroolefin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoroolefin

    HFO refrigerants are categorized as having zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential (GWP) and so offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants.

  5. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

    For power plants, the costs of heating the oil, extra pollution control and additional maintenance required after burning it often outweigh the low cost of the fuel. Burning fuel oil, particularly residual fuel oil, produces uniformly higher carbon dioxide emissions than natural gas.

  6. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

    A green hydrogen combined cycle power plant is only about 40% efficient, after electrolysis and reburning for electricity, and is a viable option for energy storage for longer term compared to battery storage. Natural gas power plants could be converted to hydrogen power plants with minimal renovation or do a combined mix of natural gas and ...

  7. Karpowership - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpowership

    Powerships are barge- or ship-mounted floating power plants, and they can operate on heavy fuel oil (HFO), diesel fuel, and/or natural gas. Karpowership's powerships are available under electricity-generation services contracts, power-rental contracts, energy-conversion works contracts or power-purchase agreements. [2] [3]

  8. Power plant efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant_efficiency

    The efficiency of a plant is the percentage of the total energy content of a power plant's fuel that is converted into electricity. The remaining energy is usually lost to the environment as heat unless it is used for district heating. Rating efficiency is complicated by the fact that there are two different ways to measure the fuel energy ...
