Realizing Power Plants of the Future

摘要

Emerging technologies in the field of instrumentation and controls are poised to have a big impact on power production. While some technologies are still in the basic stages of research and development (R&D) and on the cusp of widespread adoption, others are now entering operating rooms to change our industry for the better. Some of the technologies represent major advances on conventional approaches. Others are adaptations from outside industries, and even nature, that are providing game-changing innovations for tomorrow's power generation. Together, these technologies represent the power plant of the future where the most cutting-edge technologies are effectively leveraged to provide clean and efficient power for us all.
