    Through experience, continuous research and the

    development of state-of-the-art products and

    technologies, Alstom has rightfully earned its position

    of leadership in the world of power generation.

    From 25 development centres and 13 laboratories

    around the globe, we focus on the improvement

    of plant performance, overall efficiency and helpingour industry to reduce its environmental impact.

    IMPROVING PLANT PERFORMANCE

    Significant improvements in performance and cost-effectiveness

    can be achieved by applying technology solutions to existing

    plant development. For example, material research has led to

    the construction of turbine blades from a large coated single

    crystal to enhance performance and minimise corrosion.

    Similarly, advanced engineering simulation systems, such as

    thermal modelling, have greatly extended the life of mechanical

    components in steam turbines and significantly increased

    power output.

    IMPROVING PLANT EFFICIENCY

    Alstoms technical expertise helps to improve significantly

    the efficiency of power plants.

    Today we offer advanced, high efficiency supercritical boilers

    operating at steam parameters of 600/620C and 275 bar.

    In addition, we are currently developing a prototype for an ultra

    supercritical (USC) power plant which will operate at 700C

    and 350 bar. This higher operational temperature will enablegreater plant efficiency than ever before! Our turbine technology

    guarantees high efficiency even in combined-cycle power plants

    operating at part-load.

    REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

    Alstom has been able to reduce the environmental impact

    of power plants in many ways and integrates environmental

    impact analysis into the design process. This has a direct effect

    on lowering cost during the plant life cycle.

    Overall efficiency improvements help to reduce CO2 emissions,

    while specific technologies minimise the emission of specific

    pollutants. For example, our high efficiency pulverised coal

    combustion system minimises all traditional pollutants. Circulating

    Fluidised Bed (CFB) technology inhibits nitrogen oxide (NOx)

    emissions, while flue gas desulphurisation technology can

    capture as much as 98% of sulphur dioxide emissions

    from conventional suspension-fired boilers. Similarly, advanced

    emission control systems are able to capture remaining

    emissions from pulverised coal and CFB units while also

    reducing mercury emissions.

    Our aim is to achieve near zero CO2 emissions through the

    application of efficiency, our Plant Integrator approach,

    and carbon capture technologies.

    RESEARCH IN ACTION

    In addition to our own research & development efforts to

    develop new emission control technologies and improve existing

    techniques, we are also involved in a number of public projects

    and partnerships, notably in the field of CO2 capture and storage.

    Within the ENCAP programme (funded by the European

    Union), research is under way to develop new CO2 capture

    technologies

    The Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP)

    technology platform (launched by the European

    Commission) aims at enabling European Fossil Fuel

    Power Plants to have zero CO2 emissions by 2020.

    READY FOR CARBON CAPTURE:

    NOW AND TOMORROW

    Of the main technology paths leading to the capture

    of CO2 emitted by burning fossil fuels, Alstom Power

    is concentrating on post-combustion technologies

    and oxy-combustion.One reason is that capture technologies must be

    adaptable to existing power stations. Secondly,

    they must serve as built-in components of the

    numerous power stations, mainly coal, that will be

    built by 2030, to meet the growing energy demand

    of developing countries. Applying this new technology

    to the global installed base, is a key challenge to which

    Alstom is fully committed.

    POST-COMBUSTION CAPTURE

    Post-combustion capture is the most readily available technology

    today and the most easily adaptable to the large installed base

    of coal and gas units.

    With this technology, the CO2 is selectively removed from flue

    gas in the power plant through a capture unit. The most widelydeveloped post-combustion capture solvent is amine. The major

    problem with amine capture is the high cost: due to the heat

    required during the stripping phase to separate the amine solvent

    and CO2. This would lead to a 25% decrease in plant output.

    In February 2008 Alstom signed a joint development and

    commercialisation agreement with Dow Chemical Company,

    the global gas treating technology leader and the worlds largest

    producer of amines. This agreement aims to develop the most

    economic and environmentally conscious, amine-based carbon

    capture solutions.

    Alstom is also pursuing a very promising new post-combustionprocess involving chilled ammonia. This technology potentially

    has much lower energy requirements, significantly reducing the

    cost of CO2 capture. Alstom has a clear strategy to develop chilled

    ammonia both on coal and gas effluents and has announced

    numerous partnerships with EPRI, Statoil, WE Energies, AEP

    and EoN in order to validate the process on an industrial level

    before the end of 2011.

    OXY-FIRING TECHNOLOGY

    Oxy-firing technology involves burning solid fuel with high-purity

    oxygen rather than air. The combustion is controlled with

    a recycle stream of CO2. The flue gas obtained from oxy-

    combustion is mainly composed of water and CO2, the latter

    of which is easily captured at the back-end by water separation.

    Oxy-firing applies to new units but may suit some retrofits

    as well.

    Alstom is playing a key role in developing oxy-fired PC and

    CFB techniques. We have been selected by the power producer,

    Vattenfall to set up the first steam power plant using the oxygen

    combustion of brown coal.

    Based on its CFB know-how, Alstom is also investigating

    breakthrough technologies such as chemical looping. This

    unique system replaces the traditional boiler with a two-stage

    chemical conversion process, using an oxygen 'carrier' to transfer

    oxygen to the fuel. The exhaust gas is similar to oxy-firing,

    enabling easy CO2 capture. Preliminary testing at the 10kW

    Chalmers unit (under the EU ENCAP programme) and continuingresearch on the chemical looping process development unit of

    Alstom in Windsor CT, in the USA and in Meudon, France are

    very promising.

    GRID COMPATIBILITY

    Alstom wind turbines offer dynamic control of the active and

    reactive power and supply continuity against voltage drop-downs

    (Line Fault Ride-Through). These features allow wind farms to

    act as standard power plants, providing full support to the grid

    especially during grid transients.Our wind turbines fulfil most international grid connection

    requirements and in particular, they are certified to comply with

    the newest Spanish regulations, which are among the most

    demanding codes in Europe.

    UNIQUE MECHANICAL DESIGN

    The unique mechanical design of our wind turbines separates

    bending loads from torque loads. These torque loads are then

    transmitted uniquely to the low-speed shaft.

    The drive train has an intelligent design that provides controlledflexibility. This feature, combined with and torque control,

    reduces the number of cycles for extreme loads. As a result,

    the wind turbine achieves greater cost-effectiveness, reduces

    maintenance costs and optimises energy yield.

    CERTIFICATION

    All Alstom wind turbines are certified according to IEC-EN standards

    by international organisations recognised to issue IEC-WT01

    Type Certificates. These standards requirements include the

    inspection of assembly, full scale tests of the blades and load,

    as well as performance measurements.

    Alstom believes in wind as a viable clean power

    source to help meet the global challenge of supplying

    rising energy demands, while lowering the emissions

    of CO2 and traditional pollutants.

    FOR YOUR

    INSTALLED BASE

    RETROFIT FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

    An entire generation of power plants, built in the last ten

    to forty years, faces a series of existing and future emission

    regulations to which they must comply. In order to respond to

    these obligations and boost power plant efficiency, availability

    and extend their lifetime, Alstom offers state-of-the-art technologies.

    These range from comprehensive retrofits for boilers, turbines

    and air quality control systems to complete plant upgrades,

    rehabilitation packages, and service partnerships.

    Our project capabilities and references also include

    re-powering applications, such as the conversion of an existing

    steam plant into a combined-cycle; co-generation for district

    heating, industrial processes or desalination; or phased-

    construction and steam-tail add-ons to convert simple-cycle

    into combined-cycle plants.

    Advanced technology provides Alstom with the ability to retrofit

    any OEM nuclear or fossil steam turbine with its own technology.

    Both impulse and reaction blading solutions with adapted aero-

    dynamics create the best performance and the highest levels of

    sustained efficiency.

    Integrated Retrofit Project solutions (IRP) combined with

    unique optimised plant retrofits (boiler/condenser/ turbine)

    allow Alstom to take a systematic and holistic approach to

    analyse the interaction between key components.

    This guarantees a smooth, cohesive integration of complex

    parts into a highly efficient power plant unit.

    Alstom has the largest retrofit experience in the market with

    over 260 third-party cylinder retrofits and over 370 fleet

    cylinder retrofits.

    LOWER EMISSIONS

    Our retrofit offering for boilers and turbines, combined with our

    vast expertise in plant upgrades and rehabilitation, allows plant

    operators to comply with existing and future emission regulations.

    Finally, by adding Alstoms emission capture equipment they

    can achieve even greater reductions in emissions.

    INCREASED EFFICIENCY

    Alstom proposes technology enhancements and equipmentupgrades to improve the efficiency of power plants up to 20%.

    TURBINE RETROFITS

    As with all our retrofits, turbine retrofits performed by Alstom

    not only help to reduce emissions, but create real and financialbenefits for plant operators. We offer retrofits of blade carriers

    and bladed rotors, inner blocks, part turbines and whole turbines.

    In comparison to existing designs, Alstom's modern Low

    Pressure (LP) turbine retrofit designs, provide remarkable

    improvements in efficiency. This is due to the application of

    Computational Fluid Dynamics, (CFD), (our) state-of-the-art

    modeling concept for blade and steam path design.

    TOTAL PLANT RETROFITS

    Alstom's policy of meeting together with utility personnel and

    our own engineers, allows us to develop the optimum solution

    when it comes to combining boiler and turbine retrofits.

    Strong partnership and close collaboration like this, achieve the

    best results for the specific needs of a particular power plant.

    Steam turbine assembly

    Boiler Retrofits

    BOILER RETROFITS

    Alstom has no equal when it comes to boiler retrofits. Over the

    years we have performed upgrades and retrofits on 1400 unitsworldwide, of which 40% were designed by other manufacturers.

    Alstom is in the unique position to deliver emission and performance

    guarantees on plant parameters. The range of engineered retrofit

    solutions covers: life extension and rehabilitation of ageing

    units, boiler performance optimisation, low NOx combustion

    systems for emission reduction, fuel conversion and additions - fuel

    switching, biomass co-firing and fuel blending - and pressure part

    re-design and replacement. Alstoms advanced surface coating

    technology significantly reduces the corrosion of tubes, which is

    a major source of power outages.

    We also help plant operators increase the range of fuels which

    can be used to access a broader fuel supply. This includes more

    environmentally conscious fuels such as biomass co-firing.

    Switching to more difficult fuels or residues like petcoke, while

    still maintaining the highest level of environmental protection

    available.

    We also have unique value-integration skills that combine

    boiler and turbine retrofits to increase the plants economics

    and its environmental benefits.
