2025年美国国际电力技术及设备展会

美国国际电力技术及设备展会（POWER-GEN International）是美国最大的电力技术及设备专业展览会，也是国际上电力生产行业大型展览会议之一，也称美国国际电力展，与欧洲电力展览会（PowerGen Europe ）一样属于专业的电力技术展览会，从1988年开始举行，每年一届，在美国不同的城市举行。POWER-GEN International是世界上最大的发电行业展览会，以最新创新技术、发展趋势和商业战略的技术为焦点。 POWER-GEN International展包括广泛的专业人才，采购电力设备商。这些年来，POWER-GEN International已经涵盖了一切，为创新、创意提供了一个世界的舞台和形成了产业的解决方案。

POWER-GEN International展观众范围：电力公司，建筑师/工程师，热电联产/自发电机，建设和维护承包商，燃料供应商，独立电力生产商，原始设备制造商，电力行业顾问，电厂设计，采购与供应管理，项目开发商，研究与发展组织，人力资源经理和招聘，设备检修专家，建筑承包商，维修服务商，业务服务提供商，项目融资和保险公司，IT专家等。

市场分析：美国是世界最大的电力生产和消费国，电能也是美国最主要的能源。美国电力需求将从2004年的37,160亿瓦时上升到2030年的56,190亿瓦时，尤其是商业部门的电力需求增长很快，年均增长2.2%。商业使用面积的增加、新通讯技术和医学成像设备应用的不断扩大和帮设备的增加都推动了商业部门的电力需求增长。面对如此庞大的电力市场，该展是中国企业的首选，也是唯一一次需要常年参加并可以结识全球电力顶级决策人的盛会。

展会报告(Show Reports):

POWERGEN International® stands as the premier networking and business hub for power generation professionals and solution providers. Bringing together power producers, utilities, EPCs, consultants, OEMs, and large-scale energy users, it serves as a platform to explore innovative solutions amid the shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. POWERGEN fosters a progressive environment for our core audience, supporting their evolution, while also attracting new energy professionals embracing the clean energy movement towards Destination 2050.

Walking into a POWERGEN International session on remote operations, monitoring and diagnostics, you don’t expect to get a short tutorial on convergent vs divergent thinking. But that’s exactly what happened for attendees of the session on Reducing Operational Costs with Remote Operations and RM&D.

Why? “What got us to where we are is not going to get us where we need to be,” said Brian Roth, vice president O&M with PROENERGY. The company is a third-party solutions provider for the energy industry.

How does this connect to remote power plant operations? Divergent thinking, which is a process used to create ideas by exploring many possible solutions, is needed to help address challenges the industry is facing now and will be facing in the future. And yet convergent thinking, which focuses on reaching a single well-defined solution to a problem, often causes us to shut down potential solutions. Roth encouraged a focus on separating convergent thinking from divergent thinking within organizations. Thinking about a challenge without taking into account constraints encourages divergent thinking.

With this encouragement setting the stage, Roth discussed the difference between remote dispatch, which is a subset of remote operations that focuses on start/stop energy monitoring, remote operations (physically controlling a unit) and remote monitoring (and diagnostics) or RM&D. The latter involves looking at data trending, setting more narrow bands to get alarms earlier than the control system and enabling plant personnel to take action.
