The global power industry is going through a period of unprecedented change. Developing economies require sufficient and reliable power to support the booming industrialization and meet the increasing demand of electricity from prospering households. In the developed world, where electricity was traditionally seen as a cheap and reliable commodity, increasing fuel costs and carbon taxation is pushing the tariffs upwards in most markets.
Growing public awareness of the impact of power usage on personal health and the environment has all converged to create evolving business circumstance, presenting new challenges to utilities. Assets need to be flexible to meet rapidly fluctuating demand levels. As well, they need to remain reliable and  demonstrate that every effort has been made to minimize environmental impacts and maximize efficiency. Ensuring flexible, reliable operation with minimum forced outages, implementing innovative strategies that reduce emissions and dealing with volatile power markets while achieving the lowest operating costs possible are the new industry reality.
