This series of GMP-organised Shows & Conferences reflects a paradigm-shift from all other

previous energy events held in the UK. Although relatively small-scale, the content of the

shows will have far-reaching consequences, report those involved. The key Conference

Organiser, Dave Andrews, comments: “The Conference Road Show events of 2013 will be

radically different from most energy events - attendees will hear crucial analyses of the energy issues

affecting the world today.

“These will be well beyond the normal kinds of over-simplifications found in the media. The shows

will give power professionals direct access to the latest power technologies and their providers. Key

technology will also be showcased.”

He says: “We have changed the Scotland venue only recently to London and have finalised the

location - it is the ‘Royal Academy of Engineering which has been renamed Prince Philip House. This

is a fantastic modern attractive new venue.”

The official dates of the shows are as follows:

Solar power units forrural SpainGehrlicher Solar Spain hasrevealed details of astandalone PV mini-grid ishas installed at a ruralhousing estate in Spain.The project based inCanada Lentisco, near thetown of Murcia in south-east Spain, is one of thefirst of many self-energising projectsplanned for residentialdevelopment areas in thecountry.PV panels now cover anarea of 150 m2 on build-ings - this will supply theestate’s power demandsuntil 2043, saysGehrlicher, which will alsooperate the installation.With battery support and

an output of 30 kV, the 90PV modules are installedwith two STP10000TL SMAinverters and six SunnyIsland 5048 invertersdesigned for off-grid sys-tems.

BelEnergia fundsBelarus powerprojectBelEnergia has plans tobuild a combined heatand power plant inBelarus, which will havean estimated constructioncost of US$563m.

The plan is to include thefacility as part of theBelarusian energy systemdevelopment program for2013 - 2016. The investment will beprovided by the Italiancompany, BelEnergia. It isinvesting US$67m increating an infrastructure,including heat & electricalnetworks.

The Alaskan Brewing Co. is going green, but insteadof looking to solar and wind energy, it has turned toa very familiar source: beer.The Juneau-based beer maker has installed aunique boiler system in order to cut its fuel costs. Itbought a US$1.8 million furnace which burns thecompany's spent grain - the waste accumulatedfrom the brewing process - into steam whichpowers the majority of the brewery's operations.Company officials now joke they are now serving‘beer-powered beer’.For some years now the used grain, a good sourceof protein, was sold to nearby farms and ranches tobe used as animal feed.But there are only 37 farms in southeast Alaska and680 in the entire state as of 2011, and the problemof what to do with the excess spent grain - made upof the residual malt and barley - became moreproblematic after the brewery expanded in 1995.

The AlaskanBrewing Co. hadto resort to ship-ping its spentgrain to buyersfurther away.Shipping costs forJuneau businessesare especiallyhigh becausethere are noroads leading inor out of the city;everything has to

be flown or shipped in. However, the grain is a rela-tively wet byproduct of the brewing process, so itneeds to be dried before it is shipped - anotherheat intensive and expensive process.A North Dakota company built the special CHPAboiler system after the project was awarded nearly$500,000 in a grant from the US Federal RuralEnergy for America Program.The brewery is expecting big savings once the

system is fully operational in March 2013. Smithestimates that the spent grain steam boiler willoffset the company's yearly energy costs by 70 per-cent, which amounts to about $450,000 a year.Alaskan Brewing Co. makes about 150,000 barrels ofbeer a year. The beer is distributed in 14 statesafter recent entries into the Texas, Wisconsin andMinnesota markets. It brews several varieties ofbeer, but is best-known for its Alaskan Amber, analt-style beer.

In brief...


New biomass CHPplant for SwedenVärnamo, Sweden: By 2016Metso will provideVärnamo Energi AB with a£17m biomass power plantfor combined heat andpower production. An electrical output of 3.6MWe and a 13.4 MWthermal output will beprovided by the facility fordistrict heating. Woodybiomass will form the basisof the fuel supply, saysMetso.

PPR to run EfW centrefor Bradford areaThe Pennine ResourceRecovery (PRR) - a consor-tium featuring Skanska -will start a 25-year contractworth US$1.5bn to turnBradford’s waste intopower.

The facility will receive upto 190,000 tonnes per yearof Bradford andCalderdale’s householdwaste, mechanicallyextracting valuable recycla-ble materials before usingthe remainder to generateup to 18MW of electricity. In doing so, the facility willdivert over 90% of Bradfordand Calderdale’s wasteaway from landfill eachyear and generate enoughelectricity to power theequivalent of 20,000homes.

UK/Eire wind projectSome of the world's largestwind turbines will be builtacross the Irish midlands.Stretching more than 600feet (180 metres) in the air,the towers are set to gener-ate energy for millions ofUK homes from 2017.

BMW installs four Jenbacher J616 cogen enginesBMW has installed four JenbacherJ616 cogeneration modules at itsRegensburg Auto Factory inGermany. The engines now produce 10.7

MW in power, or 30% of theplant’s requirements. Four CHPunits generate 9.6 MW in wasteheat for use in the factory,including for heating duringwinter months, giving an 85.3%combined efficiency rating. TheJenbacher gas engineshave beendesigned to help BMWoperateduring grid disruptions byenergising emergency lighting.

GE Jenbacher engines are nowinstalled at four BMW plants,delivering a total of 22.1 MW inelectricity and 21.57 MW in ther-mal output.The Jenbacher gas engine is

designed from to run solely ondifferent types of gas, and fordifferent types of applications.This differentiates the enginewhich has not been developedfrom a diesel engine conversion.

This focus on gaseous fuels leadsto the highest levels of generatorefficiency and reliability on themarket, says GE. The engine has been developed

into variants which are suitablefor a wide range of differentapplications including natural gas,biogas, coal seam gases and asso-ciated petroleum gas. Over fivedecades of experience in the gasengine business has resulted inthousands of GE Jenbacherengines being installed world-

wide.The gasengine generatorscover an electricaloutput range from249 to 9,500 kW.Each engine

consists of fourmain components –the engine which isfuelled by differentgases. Once thegas is burnt in thecylinders of theengine, the force

turns a crank shaft within theengine. The crank shaft turns analternator which results in thegeneration of electricity. Heat from the combustion

process is released from thecylinders This must be eitherrecovered and used in a combinedheat and power configuration ordissipated via dump radiatorslocated close to the engine.Finally, and most importantly,

there are advanced controlsystems to facilitate robust per-formance of the generator.Gas engines are typically applied

as stationary continuousgeneration units but can alsooperate as peaking plants & ingreenhouses to meet fluctuationsin local electricity demand. They can produce electricity in

parallel with the local electricitygrid, in island mode operation, orfor power generation in remoteareas. Efficiency of up to 47.8% inJenbacher engines also meansoutstanding fuel economy.

Methaneo awards plant contract to Weltec Biopower Weltec Biopower has will be building a 500 kW plant in Saint-Varent in Western France after winning acontract from the project developer Methaneo which is seeking to develop its own designed for co-operative

agricultural biogas plants. Work has already started onthe site and the facility is scheduled for completionand will begin providing electricity for the French gridas early as July 2013.Key to the provision of the biogas is a 4,900 m3

stainless-steel fermenter which is fed an agriculturalsubstrate mix consisting of grain residue, cattle slurry,sheep droppings and chicken manure.“The investment mood in France is positive for our

company’s segment,” commented Jens Albartus,Weltec Biopower CEO [Left]. Last year, the French Environment and Energy

Management Agency for the development ofregenerative energies (ADEME) hreceived twice asmany project enquiries as in 2011.

FROST & SULLIVAN REPORT

Data from the European AdvancedMetering Infrastructure (AMI) Marketsuggests that AMI revenue in Europe

is expected to grow from US$1.13 billion in2011 to US$3.72 billion in 2016 at acompound annual growth rate (CAGR) of26.9%.

The research covers smart meters,installation, communication systems andnetwork, meter data management (MDM)and customer and programme datamanagement.

“Emerging smart grid technologies, whichsupport enhanced energy management,will boost the installation of AMI inEurope,” Frost & Sullivan Energy & PowerSupplies Research Analyst Neha Vikash,tells WIP.

“The market is expected to witnesshigher growth not only in smart meters andthe installation segments, but also incommunications networks, MDM, customerand programme data managementsegments as well.” Most companies in theAMI space are not just the hardware(meter) providers.

They combine them with importantservices and appropriate functionalities incommunication infrastructure and datamanagement. These are the keytechnologies for the deployment of

innovative solutions. Installation ofhardware does not generate a constantstream of revenue.

Despite its obvious benefits, smart meterimplementation reveals regionaldisparities. Market growth has been fasterin Western and Northern Europe.

The lack of regulatory drive and utilityimplementations has affected installationrates in Central and Eastern Europe.

It is expected that the smart meteringactivity in the CEE region will follow theWestern European knowledge wave andexperience. “It is also expected that oncelarge scale roll out activity begins inCentral and Eastern Europe, the pace of

implementation will befaster compared to thatof Western Europe,”explains Nehah Vikash.“Regulatory approval,along with increasedcompetition, and ageinginfrastructure, and newtechnology will continueto drive investments inadvanced metering and inthe new intelligent gridtechnologies.”

Nevertheless, all those

EU member states that lack the regulatorypush for deployment will experience large-scale implementation after 2015, as theyhave to comply with the EU’s Third EnergyDirective, or pay a high penalty fee.

“AMI is an important step towardsachieving the EU 20-20-20 goal whichstates that by 2020, 80% of householdsmust have smart meters and completerollout achieved by 2022,” elaboratedVikash. “Government mandates will,therefore, be a key driver for AMIdeployment.”

In addition to legislation, the lack ofcommunication standards and securityissues also play a major role in determiningmarket prospects.

In fact, data security is an issue among allmember states, but it is of higherimportance in the UK, Germany and theNetherlands.

This has resulted in a delay in smartmeter roll out plans by utilities.

“Standardisation is likely to affect futuresmart meter sales, development andinnovation,” concluded Vikash.

Legislation and standardisation are set to catalyse the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)market in Europe. At last, the market is beginning to see the development of smart meters and

AMI to begin mass rollouts, suggests research by Frost & Sullivan.

POWER PLANT

In December 2012 the Samsung-ledconsortium, which currently includesChina’s Shanghai Electric and the local

Al-Toukhi, was awarded a deal with anestimated value of US$1.5bn for theengineering, procurement andconstruction (EPC) of the $3bn power anddesalination plant.

Samsung has been competing againstChina’s Sepco III Electric PowerCorporation for the contract. The clientfor the project, Saudi Arabia’s SalineWater Conversion Corporation (SWCC),had received bids from four groups inNovember 2011 for the EPC deal andreduced the shortlist to two competingbidders earlier in 2012.

The 3,100 MW power plant will be builtin Al-Madinah Province and will supplyelectricity to the Yanbu Industrial complexafter the project is complete in 48months. “We are pleased to have this opportunityto contribute to the development of theKingdom as this power plant will producethe power needed for the industrialcomplex,” said Samsung Engineering’sPresident & CEO Park Ki-Seok. He concluded: “Samsung Engineering has

a strong standing in the power plantbusiness - and this is the third powerplant we have received in Saudi Arabiasince 2011. We look forward to exceedingSWCC’s expectations with the safe and on-time delivery of the Yanbu power plantproject.”

Construction commenceson Yanbu 3 in Saudi Arabia

The power generation plant in YanbuIndustrial City currently has a capacity of1,030 MW. There are nine gas turbineunits – eight of 56.2 MW each and one of68 MW – with a total capacity of 517.6MWs. The plant also has three steamturbine units of 127.5 MW each with totalcapacity of 382.5 MW, and one steamturbine unit of 130 MW. The steam turbineunits supply auxiliary steam for thedesalination plant in case of emergency.Two additional steam turbine units are

under construction, which will add 500MW to the plant’s total capacity.The electric generators deliver power at

13.8kV to the main transformers that stepup the voltage to 115 kV and connect thepower to a 115kV switchyard. The gas turbines use sales gas as main

fuel for power generation, with diesel(Light Fuel Oil) serving as back-up fuel.The steam turbines use heavy fuel oil(HFO) as primary fuel.The gas turbines are linked to five heat

recovery steam generators (HRSGs) thatproduce 811 t/h of steam. They supplyprocess steam to the desalination andsteam turbine plants. Steam is alsorelayed to the heavy fuel oil tanks at thetank farm.to keep the oil at the desired tempera-

ture for pumping.Two 4.2 MW black-start diesel generator

units are available to restore the powersupply in case of a wide-area outage.The power complex also has a hydrogen

plant consisting of two hydrogen genera-tors. Each has a production capacity of424 standard cubic feet per hour (scfh) of99 percent purity hydrogen gas. Hydrogengas is used in the petrochemical industry,mostly for fossil fuel processing andammonia production.Power transmission and distribution is

done through an underground network of115KV, 34.5KV and 13.8KV cables. TheYanbu Industrial City transmission and dis-tribution network is interconnected withthe 380KV grid of Saudi Electric Companyat SWCC Yanbu through a 380KV intertiebetween Marafiq’s power plant and theSWCC switchyard.

GERMANY REVIEW

The energy sector in Germanyremains one of the biggest in theworld with state-of-the-art clean

energy industry. In 2011, for example, thegross electric power generation inGermany totalled 615 billion kWh.

Germany is the fifth largest consumer ofoil in the world - Russia, Norway, and theUK are the largest exporters of oil toGermany.

Germany is the third largest consumer ofnatural gas in the world. Because of itslocation at the center of Europe, Germanyis the fourth largest consumer of coal inthe world. Germany has the largestmarket of electricity in Europe.

A major proportion of the electricitysupply is based on lignite (24.9 %), hardcoal (18.6 %) and nuclear energy (17.6 %).Natural gas has a share of 13.7 %.Renewables (wind, water, biomass, photo-voltaic) account for 19.9 %.

The German economy is large anddeveloped, ranking fifth in the world byGDP (PPP). Because of this, Germanyconsumed the sixth most energy in theworld in between 2004 and 2007.

The main source of electricity forGermany’s infrastructure is coal. A recentplan to build 26 new coal plants isregarded as controversial in light of

Germany’s energybusiness - still fossil dependent

Germany's commitmentto curbing emissions.Lignite is extracted inthe extreme westernand eastern parts ofthe country, mainly inNordrhein-Westfalen,Sachsen andBrandenburg.

Considerable amountsare burned in coalplants near the miningareas to produceelectricity andtransporting ligniteover far distances isnot economicallyfeasible; therefore, the plants are locatednear the extraction sites.

Bituminous coal is mined in Nordrhein-Westfalen and Saarland. Most powerplants burning bituminous coal operate onimported material, therefore, the plantsare located not only near to the miningsites, but throughout the country.

Germany is the world’s largestoperators of non-hydro renewablescapacity in the world, including theworld’s second largest operator of windgeneration.

Germany's once soaring photovoltaic(PV) sector has certainly sufferedeconomically – a consequence primarily ofcheap Chinese imports, reports Vestas.

Experts in Germany suggest that theGerman wind industry can expect eventougher competition coming its way soon,probably from China.

Solar panel manufacturers in Germanyhave been bankrupted: competition withChina and others led to a glut and pricesfell between 2009 - 2010.

Sven Kirrmann of Germany's RenewableEnergies Agency commented: "China wind

turbines are not quite up to the Germanor European level yet on wind turbinetechnology. But that could change."

He highlights the fact that wind powerinvolves much more maintenance thansolar modules, and that the Germancompanies have a reputation for providinga high quality of maintenance.

Germany is Europe's leading windturbine manufacturer, currently third inthe global market behind China and theUS. Germany is also the world's thirdlargest user of wind power, behind Chinaand US. The sector's revenues, whichboomed from 2003 to 2008, have dwin-dled by 25% according to a recent studyby the consulting firm Oliver Wyman,even though 2011 logged modest gains.

Germany's onshore wind sector lead thenation's renewables field in 2011 with 33%of the market share and an annualturnover of €8.16 billion, up 7% from2010.

The share of electricity produced from renewable energy in Germany has increased from 6.3% ofthe national total in 2000 to over 25% in the first half of 2012. The renewable energy shareof gross electricity consumption also rose from 10% in 2005 to 20% in 2011, reports WIP.

GAS ENGINES

What are the main product fea-tures which will be important tocustomers?

Melf Thomsen: We achieved three bigadvances that will matter to customers:Efficiency, ability to operate in islandmode, and maintenance intervals. Theelectrical efficiency of the genset is nowas high as 44.1%, which permits an outputof 3333 to 4300 kW el. Based on theexcellent experience we have already hadwith predecessor versions, we were ableto increase the service interval for majoroverhauls from 64,000 to 80,000 operatinghours.

How is MWM meeting market needs withthis development?

Melf Thomsen: The main customerrequirement at the beginning of theproject was to improve the load responsecapability of the gensets andsimultaneously increase the electricalefficiency at full load.

This led to the engineering task ofincreasing the reserve boost pressure ofthe turbocharger at partial loads in orderto make it possible to add and shed largerloads than before. The losses at thethrottle valve in continuous operation at4,300 kW el had to be reduced in order toachieve higher efficiency. At the sametime, the units needed to have sufficientreserve at full load to handle short-term

New version of the TCG2032 gas engines available

fluctuations in temperature and gasquality without a change in output.

How did you achieve this goal?MT: From these requirements we

determined that three main measureswere needed: Modification of theturbocharger, modification of the geome-try of the MWM pre-chamber spark plugsand the introduction of a multivariablecontroller. This controller simultaneouslymanages actuators found on the gasengine, such as the throttle valve, gasmixer and wastegate.

Can you explain these measures indetail?

MT: The two turbochargers which areinstalled as standard equipment on theTCG 2032 V12 and V16 engines wereequipped with a new exhaust gas turbine.

Based on the increases in efficiency onthe exhaust gas side, a higher boostpressure is automatically provided on thecompressor side of the turbocharger.

This higher boost pressure becomesparticularly advantageous in the partial-load range in adding or sheddingelectrical loads.

In addition to the turbochargers, theMWM pre-chamber spark plug, already aproven feature of MWM engines, wasmodified. This pre-chamber principleachieves higher efficiency andsimultaneously reduces maintenance costsand makes for simpler peripheralequipment.

The modified spark plug geometryaccelerates and stabilises combustion inthe TCG 2032 gas engine. This results inan improved utilization of the gas-airmixture in the combustion chamber, whichmakes the engine more efficient.

What role does the TEM controller playin the new TCG 2032?

MT: Probably the most important change

in the new version of the TCG 2032 gasengine is the introduction of a newcontroller, which combines the individualcontrollers that were previously used onthe engine.

In the past, the actuators on the enginewere accessed by various controllers forengine output, rpm, emissions and boostpressure (each separately from theother).

When electrical loads were added tothe unit, the throttle valve was firstopened completely, then the gas mixerwas adjusted, and then the waste gatewas closed after a bit of delay.

When these control functions are com-bined in a multivariable controller, all ofthe actuators are addressed by a singlecontroller, so that they immediately worktogether in order to meet the needs ofthe given situation.

With this approach, it was possible toincrease the individual load levels. So nowonly nine load levels are needed up to fullload.

After two years of concerted continuing development work, the new version of the TCG 2032has been released. WIP put five key questions to Melf Thomsen, project manager at MWM

about the gas engine’s radically-new technical advances and applications.

COMPANY PROFILE

2012 was a special year for TurnerEPS as their parent company; Turner& Co (Glasgow) Ltd, the holding

company of the Turner Group, celebratedits centenary.

Initially founded in 1912 as a supplier tothe emerging automotive industry, theTurner Group has evolved through steadyorganic growth as well as acquisition.Although the individual Group Companiesspans a remarkably diverse range ofsectors, first-class service to customers isthe principal object of every singleactivity.

A third-generation family-owned andcontrolled business, the group enjoys aturnover in excess of £270m, a reputationfor profit retention and a solid financialbase from which to operate.

Today, the debt-free Turner Group'sprogressive activities broadly divide intothree areas: Engineering Services; dieselengineering, generator services, aviationand installation services, SupportServices; facilities management, mainte-nance services, access, power solutionsand Asset Sales/Rental Services; access,groundscare, vehicles, power generation,pumps, tankers and portable cold stores.

Commemorations began back in January2012, with the publication of a'storyboard' for employees that cataloguesthe early history of the company, and a‘company timeline’ that illustrates howfar the business has grown; from a twoman operation in 1912 to the diversegroup of companies, today it employsaround 2,000 people worldwide.Employees, both past and present have

Turner EPS’s parentcompany celebrate 100 years

contributed to the storyboard withphotos, memorabilia and anecdotes fromtheir time with the Turner Group.

This generated additional interest forthe storyboard, as it 'toured' round thevarious site locations throughout the year.

In looking for a theme to mark thecentenary celebrations, our employeesopted to support the WellChild Charity.

Staff throughout the UK and overseastook part in various 'helping hands'activities mostly working directly withdisadvantaged children.

In addition to providing direct practicalsupport, employees also arranged anumber of fundraising activities thatresulted in nearly £17,000 being raised,for WellChild.

The final cheque presentation was madein December as the centenary calibrationscame to a close.

Planning for the centenary year gavethe Group an opportunity to reflect onthe many changes the company has been

through over its 100 years while at thesame time keeping the focus onmaintaining a robust business for thefuture.

Continued investment in the companyhas resulted in the reintroduction ofapprenticeship programmes across anumber of group companies providing newtalent for the future.

Some Group companies have alsorelocated premises during 2012 and withplanned refurbishment work for the HeadOffice at Craigton Road during 2013 theworking environment for many of ouremployees has been and will besignificantly improved.

Gordon Turner (Chairman) said: "It is agreat pleasure to thank on behalf of theBoard the efforts of all our staff, whosededication and hard work has contributedso much to our success today after 100years in business, and is the key to thesecure and long term future that is sovaluable to everyone across the Group."

Initially founded in 1912 as a supplier to the emerging automotive industry, the Turner Group ofCompanies spans a remarkably diverse range of sectors - however, offering first-class service to

customers is the principal object of every single activity, reports Gary Peacock.

Operating seven nursing homes inthe UK, across the counties ofShropshire and into Cheshire,

Morris Care has been providing specialistcare to the elderly, mentally frail andphysically disabled since 1989.

According to Morris Care’s Director,Timothy Morris, even the smallestinterruption of power supply can leave anursing home in a critical position.

“In these circumstances, a seamlesssupply of power is needed to keep high-tech healthcare equipment and nursinghome life running. Reliability isparamount, particularly when lookingafter over 300 residents,” he said.

“A prolonged interruption in the supplyof power can put residents, equipmentand computer software at risk” TimothyMorris told WIP.

With reliability and noise output inmind, Morris Care purchased theDCA180ESEI 150kVA Denyo super silentgenerator for Stretton Hall, near ChurchStretton, and the DCA125ESEI 100kVADenyo super silent generator for OldburyGrange, near Bridgnorth. Both productswere supplied by Morris Site Machinery(formerly known as ArcGen Hilta).

Morris explained: “These generators are

Silent nights assuredthanks to Morris Site Machinery

the quietest on themarket and cause nodisruption for ourresidents who arerelaxing, resting orsleeping.”

He said: “They arealso supremelyreliable.

“When you havepatients and residentsin your care, you needto be sure yourgenerators will workefficiently when thetime comes, regardlessof whether you’ve usedit recently or not.”

As well as reliability,Morris Site Machinery’sDenyo super silent generators offer a widerange of additional safety features whichmake them an ideal choice for theemergency services and health caresector.

They are fitted with earth leakageprotection which automatically turn offelectrical flow if a problem is detected,as well as emergency stop buttons andautomatic engine shutdown as standard.

Each unit has lockable panels and sidedoors to allow for easy access to the unitand a brushless alternator, which reducesthe need for maintenance.

To extend running times and minimiserefuelling periods and costs, the supersilent generator has three-way fuel valveswhich enable connection to external fueltanks.

“The super silent generators haveexceeded our expectations and havingthem in place gives us much neededpeace of mind when contingencyplanning,” concluded Timothy Morris.

The new trading name - Morris SiteMachinery - was adopted by the Midlands-based gen-set supplier, to align it moreclosely with its parent company, Morris &Company, who acquired it in 2006.

As a dynamic, fifth generation familybusiness, Morris & Company has a 144year track record of producing qualityproducts and services, with a strongengineering heritage including MorrisLubricants.

Chris Morris, Chief Executive of MorrisSite Machinery, said of the change: “Afterour best trading year to date in 2012 wewant to build on this success to ensure weare continuing to foster innovation andprogression within Morris Site Machinery,delivering world class products to ourcustomers both in the UK and overseas.”

Committed to delivering the very best in quality nursing care across its seven nursing homes,UK-based Morris Care has bought super-silent generators from MSM to provide reliable and

uninterrupted power should a power failure occur, reports WIP.

Commercially known as the PowerCube Generator, a reference to itssize and shape, this is the new

500kW gen-set from HIMOINSA. The Power Cube offers a high degree of

adaptability, and can be easily adapted toprojects with reduced space availability,where 20-foot containers cannot be used.

In addition to this, the model has beencertified by the International Conventionfor Safe Containers (CSC), allowingconsignment of two units by sea, asthough it were a standard 20-footcontainer.

At 500kW in 10 feet, with 50kWpower/foot, the Power Cube offers aconsiderable power density which allowsextreme optimisation of logistics and unithandling.

The set is prepared to be synchronisedand provide extra power; it is available inISO sizes of 20-foot for 1000kw, 30-footfor 1500kw, and 40-foot for 2000kw, etc.

The generating set has an electric fanwhich allows reduction of acousticemissions and therefore use of the unit inresidential areas and events.

It is often in these scenarios where highpower is required; there is little spaceavailable, and low noise generation isnecessary. In addition, self-sufficiency isensured by rapid external fuel inlets.

Power Cube - a new500kW resource for the industry

Another of theleading products in theHIMOINSA rental rangeis the HRTW 1300 dualfrequency container,ideal for use in IPP(Interim Power Plant),rental, mining,construction, quarryingand ports, amongothers.

With the efficiency ofdual frequency, thesame equipment cangenerate both at 50 Hzand 60 Hz.

This generator wascreated to meet theneeds of the rental andconstruction markets,as well as all possibleheavy duty applications.

For this reason, it offers greatadvantages in comparison with othertypes of products which also operate inthis sector.

It has a variable speed fan to reducefuel consumption and noise emission, aswell as a system for interior lighting,which ensures total accessibility forcleaning and maintenance.

HIMOINSA, a Spanish company in the power generation sector, has launched a new 500kWpower generator in a 10-foot container. Originally designed for the North American market its

success has been the catalyst for an adaptation in the European sector too, reports WIP.

Last year the Erneuerbare EnergienGmbH & Co farming consortium ofNorthern Germany ordered a new

CHP plant. The finished facility had to beconnected to the grid in addition toheating a SCHNELL Motoren AG companybuilding and a nearby commercialgreenhouse.

The plant is fuelled by agriculturalmatter: 40% animal slurry and 60%fermented biomass consisting of corn, ryeand grass, among others.

The resulting gas from fermentationfuels generators which provide electricitywhich is supplied to the grid. Today, thewaste heat is captured and used to heat anearby greenhouse facility - operated by afamily‑run horticulture business - as wellas the regional SCHNELL companybuilding.

SCHNELL was responsible for the designand installation of the biogas power plant,and specified four industrial STAMFORDHC4 generators, rated at 350 kVA each.

The plant now consists of four dual fuel265 kW generating sets running 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week providing regular

and dependablecontinuous power.

The generating setsprovide industry-leading electricalefficiencies of 47% byusing additionalefficiency enhance-ments, thus providing amaximum return oninvestment for thecustomer, which isexpected within eightyears, reportsCummins.

The STAMFORD HC4range of 4- pole, singleor 2-bearing AVRcontrolled industrialgenerators featureengine adaptors toSAE 0, 1/2, 1, 2 & 3; coupling discs to SAE11 1/2, 14 & 18 are also provided forHC4.

The windings used on the range are 12-wire reconnectable, with voltagesavailable range up to 690V. IP23

enclosure protection is provided asstandard.

The generating sets used in this powerplant were assembled at SCHNELL’sheadquarters in Amtzell, southernGermany, where STAMFORD HC4generators were coupled with Scania-SCHNELL engines.

A spokesman told WIP: “STAMFORDgenerators clearly provide the operatorswith both confidence and value over thelifetime of this project.

“As a customer of Cummins GeneratorTechnologies, SCHNELL benefits fromhaving highly trained, knowledgeableengineers at its disposal, a dedicatedaccount manager, as well as the assuranceof a premium aftersales supportservice.”

Rodewald, Germany: a local consortium of farmers in Germany needed four generating sets for abrand new biogas power plant in northern Germany. SCHNELL was responsible for the designand installation, and specified four industrial STAMFORD HC4 generators, reports WIP.

DATA CENTRES

Unplanned and costly downtime isan increasing problem and theultimate nightmare for data centre

managers. Even a brief cut in service canhave severe consequences for companiesrelying on the facility to operate.

Businesses which rely on websites tofunction will instantly begin to lose moneyif their host cuts out. An increasingnumber of companies are left completelyparalysed and unable to communicatewithout access to their networks anddepending on the business, loss of servicecan cost tens of thousands of pounds anhour.

Human error, natural disasters andsystem failure can all be the cause ofunplanned downtime. It is difficult tocompletely avoid the failure of IT gearand human error is one element that isimpossible to eradicate from the down-time equation entirely. It is thereforeincreasingly important that data centremanagers fit their data centre with areliable backup generator.

However, it is not enough to simply havea sturdy diesel backup on standby – anybackup procedures must be thoroughlytested for reliability. If not, data centremanagers could be dealing with someserious consequences.

In 2009, IBM’s Warwick-based datacentre was taken down for several hours

Reducing the strain onyour power supply

thanks to a poweroutage. Although itsrecovery centre wasbacked by fullUninterruptible PowerSupply (UPS) andgenerators, the powerfailure was followed byan unfortunategenerator failure. Thisconsiderably prolongedthe outage period asthe system had to berestarted in astructured sequence.Customers using thedata centre to hosttheir mission criticalsystems could not usethem for several hourscausing loss in both time and profit.

More recently internet provider Level 3suffered from a major power cut at theirdata centre in East London. The failurelasted for roughly five hours and wassupposedly caused by a disruption to theUPS system, which is meant to protectcomputers and network equipment in theevent of an unexpected electrical failure.

Many businesses with their internettraffic routed through the data centrewere severely affected.

These examples prove that thorough andregular checks of backup proceduresreally are essential. Every data centremanager must be able to trust their backup solutions completely.

The more energy efficient a data centreis, the less strain there will be on thegenerator. Actively monitoring andreducing the power usage of a site, wherepossible, can decrease this pressure.Effective cooling systems can help.Natural air cooling, in particular, is

becoming an increasingly attractive andcost-effective option.

A recent survey by The Green Grid foundthat natural options saved 20% on energycosts and 7% on maintaining coolingsystems.

Low energy Passive Infrared (PIR) sensorlighting can also be used to reduce thestrain on power supply. This lightingsenses the movement of individuals andwill only light up an area that is in use.

By regularly testing the condition ofbackup generators, data centre managerscan increase their peace of mind.

As expertise and technology ensures themarket is entering a new and exciting era,those who are unable to maintain thetrust of their customers will be leftbehind.

The UK invested £2.19bn into the data centre market from 2011 - 2012 and demand for datacentre capacity is on the rise as companies look to expand current IT capabilities and outsource to

the cloud, reports Edward Jones, CEO of PMB Holdings and MK DataVault.

RENEWABLES

Solea Renewables completed andcommissioned the world’s first 1MWground-mounted diesel/photovoltaic

hybrid electric power plant for industrialmining applications near Johannesburg,South Africa.

The decentralised 1MW DC hybrid PVsystem was planned and installed forCronimet Energy South Africa (Pty)Limited to fuel Cronimet Mining’schromium ore operations.

The innovative and environmentallyresponsible renewable energy solution willallow the mining company to power theirdaytime operations with a decentralisedgrid-independent power supply.

The 1 MW PV plant will deliverapproximately 1.8 GWh of electricity peryear, allowing the mining company tomaterially reduce its daytime dieselconsumption and capitalise on a naturallong-term hedge against rising dieselcosts.

The fully integrated PV plant wasconstructed on Solea’s Renewables’galvanised steel and aluminum fixed-tiltracking system mounted to its proprietaryhelical steel screw foundation.

The racking system was planned with 63

tables, each with 66panels mounted inthree vertically mount-ed PV Panel rowsangled at 25° north.The total height of thethree panel rows is lessthan three metres.

A total of 4,170JinkoSolar JKM240P-60polycrystalline PVpanels were installedand 63 three-phasedecentralised SMA17000TL inverters wereinstalled, each with anominal AC powerrating of 17kVA.

The PV system wasdesigned around themine’s existing primarydiesel ‘island mode’ power infrastructureand synchronised to the two existing800kVa diesel gensets by using SMA’s FuelSave Controller software.

The software monitors and regulates thediesel gensets’ output in a real-time andconsistent relationship with the PV plant’soutput.

The software computes the maximumamount of PV power that the island modesystem can safely consume to ensurestability of the supply and the mosteffective use of renewable PV power.

Solea AG’s CEO, Anton Schweigercommented: “The realisation of our firstgrid-independent utility scale hybrid PVplant was a successful market entry forthe Solea group. Southern Africa is a keygrowth market for Solea and our dieselhybrid PV systems are ready to roll out.”

Rollie Armstrong, Director of SoleaCapital GmbH adds: “Hybrid PV systemsprovide mining operators in remote

locations with low or no existinginfrastructure with a reliable 20 to 30-year power source alternative toelectrifying daytime mining operationswith only diesel gensets.”

In a related contract, Solea CapitalGmbH - a daughter company of Solea AG- has begun the system delivery andconstruction of a 6 MW PV project inRomania.

Located approximately 50 kilometresnorth of Bucharest near the town ofPloieşti, this 6 MW PV project marksSolea’s inaugural EPC step into theRomanian market.

The PV system will be integrated withReneSola’s high efficiency 156 series 250Wpolycrystalline Virtus II panel, SMA’s 850CPXT inverter.

With a double-digit million order volume MAN Diesel& Turbo has supplied a steam turbine generator setfor a melting plant belonging to the Norwegiancompany Finnfjord AS, enabling the plant toincrease its energy efficiency by around 40%. Givenan electricity output of 40 megawatts, the turbineset is used to render waste heat from theproduction process usable, by converting it intoelectricity with the generator.Lying north of the Arctic Circle, the Finnfjord ASplant produces ferro-silicon, a supplementary mate-rial for manufacturing steel and cast iron. Havinginvested a sum total of 100 million Euros, theNorwegian company has achieved its ambitious aimof constructing the world’s most efficient ferro-silicon production plant, taking this energy intensiveprocess to a new level. Compared to conventionalelectricity generation from hard coal for example,the efficiency increase equals a saving of around240,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.The key technology behind this aim is Norway’s

largeststeamturbine, acompleteset of steamturbine andgenerator,supplied,installed,and commis-sioned forthe first time by MAN Diesel & Turbo in September2012. This has enabled the plant to recoverelectricity from thermal energy that has not beenused until now. Generated in this way, power canthen be used directly in the plant’s productionprocess, thereby reducing by about 40% the quantityof electricity from the grid. By consuming lessconventionally generated mains electricity, thisprocess not only benefits the environment, it alsoenables Finnfjord AS to become less vulnerable torising energy prices.

“We were impressed not only by MAN Diesel &Turbo’s technological expertise, but above all by thecompany’s highly flexible approach,” Geir-HenningWintervoll, CEO of Finnfjord AS, tells WIP.“Despite the higher requirements the project posedas it progressed, we were able to meet the narrowtime schedule. MAN Diesel & Turbo high-performance technology has enabled us to achieveour ambitious aim of making the Finnfjord plant themost efficient in the world.”
