What if the key to solving the world’s growing energy crisis already exists, quietly powering millions of homes and industries with unmatched efficiency? Enter the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT)—a ...

The world’s largest wind turbine—currently being tested off the coast of China—has blades that are more than twice as long as a Boeing 777’s wingspan. It can generate 26 megawatts (MW) of energy, more ...

This year, America’s total spending to build data centers—the hardware behind artificial intelligence—will exceed the country’s construction spending on all commercial offices. Thus it was no surprise ...

In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...

The rapid growth of AI and data centers is causing a significant increase in demand for electricity, leading to a global shortage of gas turbines needed for new power generation capacity. Despite the ...

With power demand surging and fossil fuels back in fashion, it is a good time to be making turbines for gas-fired power plants. The question for the industrial companies that manufacture these ...

Rising power demand from data centers for artificial intelligence has led to a shortage of the gas turbines needed to generate electricity. This shortage might not seem the most obvious climate story, ...

Inside Siemens Energy AG’s vast glass and steel assembly hall in central Berlin, engineers are close to completing a 500-ton turbine for a natural-gas power plant. Workers have spent weeks on ...
