Mitsubishi Power Savannah Machinery Works (SMW) is an ultra-modern advanced technology manufacturing facility located in the Edenic town of Pooler, Georgia. Just outside of Savannah, SMW manufactures advanced technology fuel-efficient gas turbines and steam turbines in addition to providing a suite of complete gas and steam turbine services. The facility has nearly half a million square feet in high-technology manufacturing space and equipment. In addition to world-class turbine manufacturing, SMW provides critical services to power producers throughout the Western Hemisphere. In June 2023, we celebrated the manufacturing and shipment of our 50th Advanced-Class Gas Turbine from our Savannah Machinery Works facility. This fleet is able to power over 3 million homes across 5 countries. Our tour, organized by Experience POWER, will highlight this amazing milestone, as well as give an inside view of SMW with ample opportunities for Q&As.
Overcoming the Challenges Presented by Intermittent Generation

Wednesday, 16 August
8:30 am- 10:30 am (EST)
Power companies face numerous challenges as more renewable resources are added to the grid. Fast-starting options that can ramp up and down quickly, such as aero-derivative combustion turbines and reciprocating engines, have never been more important to operating a reliable and stable power system. Meanwhile, combined cycle units have other obstacles to overcome as operators try to maximize performance and minimize breakdowns. Many of the implications of growing renewables will be addressed in this session.

Thursday, 17 August
8:30 am - 10:00 am (EST)
Hydrogen is a clean, and versatile energy carrier with the potential to play a major role in decarbonization. However, in order for hydrogen to be adopted at scale, it needs to be financially viable. This session will explore the financial metrics behind hydrogen projects, including life cycle analysis, storage, transportation, and project viability. We will discuss the factors that make hydrogen projects successful, and provide insights into how to make your own project more financially attractive.
