| POWERGEN International wants to connect you to the topics that interest you most. We want your PGI experience to be the best it can be. This year, we are featuring 7 experiences:
 | Energy Storage
Large-scale battery storage is key for smoothing out the intermittency of renewables, and it also plays a role in peak shaving, time of use consumption and load following. |
|
|  | On-site Power
Whether it's a microgrid, a data center, oil and gas drilling rig or a mission-critical site such as a military base, backup gen-sets are the backbone of energy need when the grid isn't enough. |
|
|  | Natural Gas
Natural gas abundance is changing the energy world. Gas-fired turbines are changing the electricity mix. |
|
|  | Coal-fired generation
Coal-fired power is reliable when you need it the most - cold winters. It is still more than 30 percent of the U.S. generation mix and it's still adding capacity globally. |
|
|  | Solar Power
The sun also rises in utility resource plans for the future. Solar is growing not only in California and the Carolinas, but also in the southeast, southwest and Middle East. |
|
|  | Wind
Wind is the generation resource with the biggest upside in terms of utility scale growth. It competes on a cost scale even where resources such as a natural gas is cheap. |
|
|  | Hydropower
Hydro is the world's first renewable energy resource. It is as reliable and essential as the river that runs through it. |

Knowledge Hubs Highlight
This week's featured knowledge hub (free content on our exhibition floor) is...
Smart Power Plant: IOT, Controls: The modern power plant contains many of the same components its had for decades: boilers, gensets, cooling towers, pumps, etc. But the sensors and software which keep watch are expanding in scope, intricacy and data volume. Interconnectedness and communication systems vastly improve efficiencies, but also widen the vulnerabilities to outside intruders such as hackers. And advancing at the edges are new technologies in artificial intelligence and beyond. The brave new world offers rewards and risks.
Sample sessions
The New Generation of Technical Assistance in Thermal Generation - How the Use of Connected Glasses Has Improved EDF Fleet Technical Assistance and Expertise, Particularly for Assets in Remote Areas
Future of Work in the Digital Power Plant

+ PGU 201: Gas Turbine Long Term Service Agreements: Best Practices for a Successful Procurement RFP Process
Around the world, long-term service agreements (LTSAs) covering large-frame gas turbines are up for renewal in a market that has significantly changed since they were first signed. Certain non-OEM suppliers have found a solid foothold, while large OEMs are now bidding on LTSAs for turbines they did not manufacture. Turbine owners thus have many options ... View full description
