In this issue we focus on the construction of power plant projects.

New power plants are being built every day as countries invest to meet the electricity requirements of their rapidly growing populations. In this issue we take a look at the complex and often challenging design and engineering processes involved in building new plants.

We profile innovative and original power plant designs that are emerging around the world, speak to experts to find out what it takes to build ever more advanced energy systems, and explore the challenges of building wind farms at sea.

We also ask the team behind a new $1.5bn supercritical thermal power plant project in India how the latest 3D and visualisation software is helping architects and engineers to build today’s power-generating giants.

Next issue: Cleaning up power

In the light of pressing environmental concerns and increasingly strict targets on emissions from power plants, the industry is constantly pushing ahead with new concepts and technologies to clean up power generation.

From bizarre and brilliant alternative energy systems to emerging power sources such as biofuels, we profile the latest advancements in ‘greener’ and cleaner energy production.

We also explore industry projects paving the way for a cleaner future, looking at the conversion of the a coal-fired plat to 100% biomass operation, as well as the UK’s largest operating CO2 capturing facility, the CCPilot100+ project.
