Energy-efficient health patch to improve mobile health solutions
At electronica, imec – Holst Centre (set up by imec and TNO), introduced their next gen health patch. The small form-factor comfortable to wear health patch has been optimised for low power consumption and is the first of its kind to track physical and cardiac activity, while monitoring bioelectrical impedance.
Bangladesh receive order for M701F gas turbine
An order for an M701F gas turbine for the Sirajganj thermal power plant project under way in Bangladesh has been received by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS). The turbine will be a core component of a dual fuel (natural gas with diesel as backup) Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (GTCC) power station with a contracted output of 413MW. A Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) was also concluded.
Combined plant features power and heating
The construction of a Combined Cycle Cogeneration Plant at the Navoi Thermal Power Station in southern Uzbekistan, has earned Mitsubishi Corporation (MC), together with Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS), a full turnkey contract by Joint Stock Company Uzbekenergo.
Nuclear fusion reactor sets world record
On Friday, Sept. 30, at 9:25 p.m. EDT, scientists and engineers at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center made a leap forward in the pursuit of clean energy. The team set a new world record for plasma pressure in the Institute’s Alcator C-Mod tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. Plasma pressure is the key ingredient to producing energy from nuclear fusion, and MIT’s new result achieves over 2 atmospheres of pressure for the first tim...
Wind turbine generator produces power regardless of wind
Development of a 5MW offshore wind turbine generator system has been announced by Hitachi with the HTW5.2-136 including a downwind configuration. The new system features a 15% larger rotor swept area to increase output in light-wind regions that have annual average wind speeds below 7.5m/s.
