Draft budget included a new capital wish list which was created assuming theproposed by-law would be in place and the necessary changes that would berequired due to increased flows.

Treasurer Holly Morrison suggested that the Board may wish to consider settingcommercial rates for those businesses which do not have an agreement prior to2011.

7. Public Question Period:

1) Calvin ConferMr. Confer noted an error in the minutes, showing Ross Slaughter as beingemployed by Genivar. Mr. Confer had some observations regarding the draftbudget and would like to see a broader business plan in place rather than ahaphazard one. Further, he would like to see where the revenue is comingfrom before moving forward with the FIT application and the by-law. Thebusiness plan submitted by Genivar in 2012 could be reviewed and madeavailable to the public at the time of the public meeting regarding the by-law.

2) David ChapmanIs there a Biodigester anywhere in Ontario that is a benchmark of success?

Mr. Chapman suggested it may not be Chatsworth and Georgian Bluffsresponsibility to pioneer environmentally responsible human wastemanagement.

Mr. Chapman urged the Board to ask, if we are in the business of pioneeringthis process and, if not, why are we doing this?

The Board took a 5-minute recess and reconvened at 9:10AM

TOWNSHIP OF GEORGIAN BLUFFS

Date: October 27, 2013Report To: Georgian Bluffs-Chatsworth Biodigester Joint BoardFrom: Troy Unruh, OperatorSubject: BR012-2013 100 Kw Generator Replacement

Strategic Plan:

3.1 Water & Waste Water System

Operate water and waste water systems to maintain a high standard of public health andsafety, protect the environment and ensure long term financial sustainability.

3.2 Solid Waste Management

Manage solid waste to protect public health and minimize environmental impact throughwaste reduction, diversion, recycling and re-use.

Background:

On July 7 2013, staff noticed a sparks coming from the flywheel near the end of thegenerator. Rolan Mechanical was requested to attend to determine what the problemwas. The flex plate and bearing were checked. There was no obvious sign of problemsor wear on the stator. Sparks were unexplained. July 13 2013, did compression test onengine and serviced engine upon start up. Regulator failed and a temporary one wasput in place. July 19, noticed noise, July 20 shut the generator down. July 23, thegenerator bearing was replaced. August 10 2013, could hear the generator bearingagain. August 14, the circuit board and the bearing were replaced. September 4, could

hear bearing again, September 7 2013, the generator was shut down, the generator wasremoved and, upon inspection, it was found that the aluminum on the rotor had meltedand the generator was beyond repair.

Roland was asked to evaluate the damaged generator and determine why it had failed at20,000 hours instead of the expected 40,000 hrs. Staff determined the generator wasbeyond the manufactures one year warranty period and no compensation was available.The report prepared by Rolan details several contributing factors that may haveshortened the lifespan of the generator. See the attached report from Rolandsummarizing these factors. Staff proceeded to investigate alternative generators fromseveral suppliers. It was hoped that by selecting a larger capacity generator it would beless susceptible to the stresses detailed in the reports. Also it would provide a generatorthat could perform well beyond its expected life span.

Staff contacted:

- Stamford in Hamilton they quoted on a UCI274H1 with PMG, which is 2 sizes larger.

-Sommers Electrical also recommended going with the same size unit with PMG.

-Rolan also suggested up-sizing the generator. After looking into the PMG, it was not

23/56

G:\Biodigester\Council & By-Laws\C05 Committee Agenda & Minutes\Reports\2013 reports\BR012-2013 100 Kw GeneratorReplacement.docx

worth the extra cost with the safety settings we already have.

By selecting a larger generator, concerns with capacity on Hydro ones networkwerebrought up. ANF solutions recommended we contact Hydro One for approval of thelarger capacity Generator. The recommended generator would be able to handle largerfault currents, which in turn could cause damage to utilities. Hydro one was contacted.They said the new, larger capacity generator would be acceptable and safe to connect to

the grid. The Township was asked to supply an updated single line drawing to HydroOne for approval. Martin Machinery suggested the Township try to reduce the ambienttemperature inside the building housing the generator. Also, when Martin Machinerysized our current generator, they sized it 2 sizes bigger at the current power factor rating.

Trademark Mechanical was contacted and asked to provide an independent evaluationof the generator and the cause for the failure. This report has been attached for yourreference.

It is expected, based on the recommendations from three different mechanical andelectrical specialists, the larger generator will run cooler, under less stress and providethe same or better electrical output, ultimately extending the life of the generator.

Financial Considerations:

Three quotes were received:

Sommers - $9896.75 plus installation

Rolan - $6959.00 plus installation

Stamford - $8466.69 plus installation

Recommendation:

Be it resolved that the Georgian Bluffs Chatsworth Joint Biodigester Board receive thereport prepared by Biodigester Operator, Troy Unruh and further recommends staffpurchase the new generator (Serial # UCI274H1) from Roland Mechanical at the quotedprice of $6959.00 plus the cost of installation. Further, that staff investigate options toreduce the ambient temperature around the generator and report back with solutions andcost implications.

Cause of Failure and Recommended Repair Report

100Kw Biogas genset

Make: MMG 100

Generator Model: Stamford UCI274F1 (Frame/Core)

Install date: 2010

Commission date: 2011

Failure date: Aug.5 2013 (First sign of failure) Out of service on Sept.7 2013

Hrs: 19,960

Notes:

Symptoms;

The unit was emitting an occasional spark from the fan of generator, and the bearing was failing

prematurely, as well as the AVR (voltage regulator) failed .

Observances;

Upon disassembly the rotor was found to be defective, as a number of the aluminum bars were

melted back into the laminations.

Diagnosis;

The melted bars are intended to equalize or further dampen any imbalances in the power

system, which means any phase to phase voltage imbalances, but more specifically current

imbalances.

Overheating of these bars is the primary cause of failure, but the cause of overheating is

complex, and all of the following could contribute; higher than 40C ambient air, clogged air inlet

screens, excessive build-up of dust on the rotor, unbalanced grid current, poor power factor

(over or under sensitive control), dirty power and/or fluctuating voltages, engine misfiring for

long durations.

In communicating with other experts, there seems to be a consensus that operating a

generator on single phase as well as grid-tying it, are 2 factors in causing premature

overheating if operating at close to 100% load.

Conclusion;

While this generator operated for 20000+Hrs, we still consider this to be somewhat of a

premature failure, as we would expect to see 40-50000Hrs, so we need to look at what may

have been some of the most likely contributors to this failure.

The generator is rated at 100Kw at 105C temp rise @ .8PF (Power Factor) which means it was

operating at 100% of its rating during 100% power export, so with the fact that this unit is

running on a soft feeder (far from HV distribution) there is a high likely-hood of harmonic

distortion on the line, or in general dirtypower, along with the fact that it is single phase and

operating in the reserve range at times, and operating in a high ambient temp enclosure,

especially when the boiler is operating at the same time.

Suggested remedy;

1) Replace generator with an 115Kw oversize model to allow 100% export and still staying inthe

Here is the reply from our Engineering group

The primary issue was high current through the damper cage bars and end rings.

Subsequently some bars opened at the connection to the end ring; then the bars

essentially grounded to the core and current passed between bars via the core iron,

causing iron heating as well as bar heating. A single phase machine has a pulsating

field that induces more current in a damper winding than would occur with a three

phase winding. Based on the feedback from Stamford to the customer, there is a

possibility that the cage winding in this generator is not large enough for the 100kw

single phase rating; and that may be the fundamental reason that the generator

needs to be replaced with a larger power rating. In fairness to Stamford, if the load

was in fact at 0.8 PF, the generator would be producing 125 kva at 100kw load, and

the current would be 25% above rated. That would result in increased current in

the rotor cage and could have contributed to the failure.

I hope that helps. If you have any further questions, let me know .Thank you

October 9, 2013Georgian Bluffs bio-digester Generator replacementSpringmount, OntarioAtt: Troy Unruh Biodigester@georgianbluffs.on.ca226.668.3239

Troy, to supply only, a new Stamford Newage (identical to theexisting unit, UCI274F, 06 winding, 1 ph): $8166.65

As the existing unit has been damaged in use, seemingly byissues with improper syncing to the utility, we highly recommendreplacing the generator with an oversized unit and adding on aPMG excitation system. The proposed generator would have acapacity of 156KW @ 125 degree rise: $9896.75

Notes:

-FOB Tavistock-To assist with the installation on site, will be on a time andmaterial basis, if requested-Lead time 1-2 weeks, upon receipt of order-HST is extra-The proposed replacement is 6longer, but will have the samefoot print for mounting-Please forward a PO to proceed

Thank you for the opportunity to quote your needs
