Capabilities from power generation to transmission and delivery
The challenges for today’s power industry players have never been more daunting. The power industry is moving away from centralized power generation based on fossil fuel-fired power plants to a more sustainable power system that incorporates renewable energy facilities coupled to energy storage. Aging infrastructures and louder calls for safe, reliable and more sustainable energy mean the industry must adjust to change and overcome hurdles faster than ever. With decades of power technology and project execution experience across the globe, the experts at Lummus Consultants help asset owners and investors address today’s most pressing technical, business and environmental challenges.
Lummus Consultants offers a full complement of project services in the global power sector, covering smaller grassroots facilities to the largest integrated power plants or complex portfolios. Our experience covers the power plant from generation to transmission and delivery, and power generation from conventional fuels to renewable energy sources as well as other emerging technologies and solutions.
Power generation
Conventional power generation fueled by natural gas or solid fuels remains the largest contributor to electricity generation at approximately 60% worldwide. The last decade has seen a shift away from coal and oil power generation to natural gas and renewable energy generation. This shift has been driven by geopolitical demands, environmental considerations, and favorable natural gas and renewable energy prices.
In the fossil fuel area, Lummus Consultants specializes in gas-fired generation with extensive experience with all manufacturers and models of combustion turbine projects, reciprocating engines, steam-cycle projects, and cogeneration projects. Our considerable experience includes enhanced emissions controls on solid fuels projects (circulating fluid bed, pulverized coal and specialty fuels). More recently, we have been active on projects focused on low hydrocarbon emissions, emerging technologies and evaluating refueling with higher hydrogen content.

Power distribution and delivery
Lummus Consultants provides systems-level advice for power delivery networks. We focus on maximizing the value of transmission and delivery assets as part of an overall electricity value chain by identifying key technical, operational, commercial and regulatory risks and then recommending actionable technical mitigation measures. Capital and operating budgets are developed using both top-down and bottom-up approaches. Our depth of experience includes high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) facilities and equipment, converter stations, subsea and underground cables, overland power delivery systems, offshore structures, electrical equipment for offshore wind turbines, and smart-grid technology applications.
