Shale gas - a revolution ahead?

Unconventional gas is the collective term used to describe tight gas,shale gas and/or coal bed methane (CBM). While conventional gasresources can be developed and produced without any special well completions, most

unconventional gas production requires the rock to be fractured (fracked) or stimulated to allow gas toescape from the tight rock and flow through the wellbore to the surface. These special well completionsmade drilling for unconventional gas uneconomical for many years.

The potential of shale gas, tight gas and CBM has been known for centuries, with the first shale gaswells drilled in the 1820s. However, it is only with recent technological improvements that extracting theresources has become an economically viable option. Natural gas, whether it is extracted usingconventional or unconventional methods, is certainly still the cleanest-burning fossil fuel. When used forpower generation, natural gas emits up to 60% less CO2 than coal, and emissions of other waste productssuch as mercury, sulphur and nitrogen oxide are also significantly reduced, improving air quality.

Currently, natural gas has approximately 60 years of proven reserves at current demand levels, butaccording to the International Energy Agency (IEA), this rises to more than 250 years if the unconventionalgas potential is added. Clearly, unconventional gas may play a large part in ensuring the security ofglobal energy supply for years to come.

The potential of the energy revolution is tantalising, especially for the UK. With shale gas reserves inCheshire alone now estimated to meet 15 years’ worth of national demand, a new energy boom could beon the horizon – and one which blends conventional sources, renewables and shale.

Certainly, the owner of British Gas - Centrica - is keen to buy a minority stake in Cuadrilla's Bowlandshale licence, which the company has said could contain 200 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas. This is nly afraction of what is likely to be recoverable, but industry experts say that could potentially still providean important source of gas for the UK as North Sea reserves dwindle.

As recently as January 2013, Centrica’s own Chief Executive, Sam Laidlaw noted pessimistically that itwould be at least 10 years before the UK saw the first production of shale gas - and even when ithappens it would not be “the game-changer we’ve seen in North America”.

Securing the backing a major partner like Centrica would be a significant boon to Cuadrilla, which hasalready courted controversy after allegations it was behind two earth tremors which occurred whilefracking was taking place near Blackpool in 2011.

In the UK some Ministers are keen to to accellerate shale gas exploration in Britain. And Centrica isalso actively seeking to secure new sources of gas for its customers in Europe. It recently signed a dealto export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US, some of which could come to the UK. It is thought to

be seeking further deals, including the renewal ofits existing LNG supply contract from Qatar.Most of this LNG is believed to be destined forpower generation purposes.

Britain uses about 3 tcf of natural gas eachyear, while North Sea reserves are estimated tohave fallen to about 7 tcf.

It will be interesting to see whether an energyboom really does develop in the UK - and even inthe rest of Europe - if development is successful.

The licensingarrangement targets col-laborative and proactiveexploration of localdemand for high-perform-ance EPs, which are nowmarking growth in tandemwith India's increasingnumber of new coal-firedpower plants and iron-works.

Toshiba in Saga dealToshiba Corporation willprovide Saga, the capitalcity of Saga Prefecture onJapan's Kyushu Island,with a new carboncapture and utilisationsystem (CCU) in a biomassenergy. The CCU testplant will be able tocapture 20-kilograms ofCO2 a day and will beused to test and verifythe capture and use ofCO2 from the flue gas ofthe city's waste incinera-tion plant.Installation of the

equipment is scheduled tobe completed bySeptember 2013 andtesting will begin inOctober 2013. It will bethe first CCU verificationtest in Japan to applychemical absorptiontechnology in an incinera-tion plant.

Siemens Energy has finished work on the Knapsack IIcombined-cycle (CC) power plant in Hürth nearCologne, Germany, almost two months ahead ofschedule. The facility is owned by Statkraft Markets GmbH, a

subsidiary of the Norwegian utility companyStatkraft. Siemens constructed the entire powerplant as a turnkey project and delivered the maincomponents, including an F-Class gas turbine aswell as a steam turbine, generator, and heat recov-ery steam generator. With an electrical capacity ofabout 430MW and an efficiency of 59.2%, the plantis one of the most modern and environmentallyfriendly of its type in Europe. The short run-up and shutdown times make the

power plant ideally suited to compensate for thefluctuating feed-in of renewables. It can thus play amajor role in supporting Germany's new energypolicy. The Knapsack II power plant is located inthe Knapsack Chemical Industrial Park in Hürth nearCologne. Siemens constructed the turnkey facility

and delivered a SGT5-4000F gas turbine, an SST5-3000 steam turbine, an SGen5-2000H generator, andthe heat recovery steam generator as well as allthe electrical engineering and the SPPA-T3000 con-trol system. The Knapsack II power plant is a single-shaft unit in which the gas and steam turbines arearranged on one shaft and drive the samegenerator. Such plants offer economic advantagesdue to lower investment costs, along with a highdegree of operating flexibility.

Lothar Balling, the head of Gas Turbine PowerPlant Solutions at Siemens Energy tells WIP: "TheKnapsack II power plant is a highly modern facilitywhich stands out thanks to its maximum flexibilityand environmental compatibility. Due to its highefficiency, the CO2 and nitrogen oxide emissionsare very low. When in hot-start mode, the powerplant can be run up to full load in just a fewminutes and thereby compensate for fluctuations inelectricity generated by wind turbines and solarstations.”

Technip in €5m FEED project for BTL plant Forest BtL Oy has awardedTechnip a contract, worthapproximately €5 million, for thefront-end engineering and design(FEED) of a new secondgeneration biomass-to-liquid(BTL) plant to be built on Ajosisland, Finland.

This plant will produce approxi-mately 140,000 tons of biodieseland naphtha from wood andby-products from the wood-processing industry. This feedstock has manyadvantages as it is not used forhuman food, it does notjeopardise the existing local bio-mass usage and has a low CO2footprint.Technip will develop the process

design package of the hydrogenproduction unit of the plant,based on its steam reformerproprietary technology, and willprepare the FEED for thehydrogen production, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and refining

units. Technip’s operating centrein Lyon, France, together withthe Group’s hydrogen technologycentre located in Zoetermeer,The Netherlands will fulfill thecontract, which is scheduled tobe completed in early 2014.The Ajos BtL project is supported

by the European Union NER300funding program for innovativerenewable energy technologies.This project will be an industrialfirst and will reinforce Technip’s

current leadingposition on anew generationof biofuelsprojects.Biomass-to-

liquid or BTL is anew generationbiofuel,consisting of amulti-stepprocess toproduce liquid

biofuels from biomass. Maintechnological steps aregasification, syngas cleaning andFischer-Tropsch synthesis.

Biomass to Liquid (BtL) or BMtLis a multi-step process which produces liquid biofuels frombiomass.

The process uses the wholeplant to improve the carbon-dioxide balance and increaseyield.

The Fischer–Tropsch process[Left] is used to produce synfuelsfrom gasified biomass.

Carbonaceous material isgasified then processed to makepurified syngas. The Fischer-Tropsch polymerises syngas intofull diesel-range hydrocarbons.

While biodiesel and bio-ethanolproduction so far only use partsof a plant, i.e. oil, sugar, starchor cellulose, the new approach toBtL production can gasify andutilise the entire plant.

Symphony Plus Controls installed in 25,000MW’s

worth of power plants since its launch in 2011

in the two years since its launchSymphony™ Plus control solutions wonorders for new power plants which generatemore than 25,000MW of electricity,equivalent to the installed capacity ofcountries the size of the Netherlands,Malaysia or Egypt. In addition, many plantshave upgraded their existing systems withnew Symphony Plus solution to meet theirevolving needs. This new information has been released by

Symphony’s manufacturer, ABB, the leadingpower and automation technology group.“The market response to Symphony Plus

since its introduction has been extremelyencouraging,” Massimo Danieli, head ofABB’s Power Generation business, a part ofthe company’s Power Systems division, tellsWIP. “Reaching this important milestone in such

a short time is a reinforcement of theconfidence that customers have inSymphony Plus and we remain committedto safeguarding their investments.” Some recent Symphony Plus project awards

include the 700 MW Xiaoting supercriticalcoal-fired power plant in China, the Samrathermal power plant, Jordan’s largestpower plant with a generating capacity of885 MW, and Enel’s 590 MW Grazia DeleddaSulcis power plant in Italy.Other notable projects include Dong

Energy’s 250 MW Avedore Unit 1 in Denmarkand the 125 MW Arlington Valley solarproject in Arizona, which is one of thelargest photovoltaic power plants in the US,and two units of the Vinh Son hydropowerplant in Vietnam. ABB launched its Symphony™ Plusdistributed control system (DCS) in April2011 as its latest generation in the‘Harmony’, ‘Melody’ series. With more than6,500 systems installed over more than

three decades – two thirds of these being inthe power and water sectors - theSymphony family represents one of thelargest installed bases of distributed controlsystems (DCS) in the world. Symphony Plus has been designed to meet

a wide range of plant configurations and itsflexibility and scalability enables it to servesmall and server-less applications as well aslarge multi-system, multi-server architec-tures. It supports the seamless integrationof field devices, process and turbineautomation systems, electrical and SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)solutions as well as business andmaintenance systems, providing a secureand reliable control environment. The most recent additions to the Symphony

Plus portfolio are new features and func-tionalities for geographically distributedapplications like photovoltaic plants,hydropower stations and water distributionnetworks. The new capabilities address the challenge

of incorporating large numbers of smallmodular units such as solar trackers,remote terminal units or pipeline sensorsinto a common operations hierarchy, whileproviding better visibility and control of theentire plant or network. Symphony Plus is said to be a reaffirmation

of ABB’s commitment to continue investingin this platform based on an ‘evolutionwithout obsolence’ approach of introducingnew technology with enhanced benefitswhile protecting the long-term investmentof customers by ensuring full compatibilitywith existing installations. This helpscustomers to balance objectives like assetavailability, operational reliability andproduction efficiency with asset lifeextension, carbon reduction and regulatorycompliance.

Atkins has secured a contract with DONGEnergy Wind Power worth £2 million toextend one of its existing wind farms.The Walney Offshore Wind Farm consists

Energy Challenges prompt appeal to EC membersEight large European energycompanies have made an appealto leading European politicians,aiming to draw the attention ofheads of state and governmenttowards the challenges the energymarket is facing. The signatorieswere the CEOs of Enel, Eni, Eon,GasNatural Fenosa, GasTerra, GDFSuez, Iberdrola und RWE. Among other things, theydemand that the future energymarket design includes a capacitymechanism approach coordinatedat European level, in which allassets contributing towards secu-rity of supply would be remuner-ated in a fair and appropriate

manner. In addition, with respectto the reform of European emis-sions trading, the signatory CEOsagreed that realistic and stablereduction targets should be setfor the period beyond 2020.Peter Terium, CEO of RWE AG,

told WIP: “In recent months wehave supported a structuralreform of European emissionstrading. This economic instrumenthas proven its worth and we areconvinced that it continues to bethe best method of achieving theEU‘s climate protection targets.He concludes: “In terms of the

upcoming reform, it is importantfor us to achieve rapid political

agreement on long-term CO2reduction targets, which wouldultimately lead to a morestringent CO2 reduction pathtaking us beyond the year 2020.The steeper reduction path canbe accompanied by thepermanent withdrawal ofallowances, if this measure isfully established.”

Alstom & KEPCO in joint venture HVDC programAlstom Grid and Korea ElectricPower Corporation (KEPCO), oneof the largest electric utilities inthe world, have announced thecreation of KEPCO Alstom PowerElectronics Systems (KAPES). Thejoint venture will focus on deliv-ering high voltage direct current(HVDC) projects in Korea. Thislong term strategic relationshipaims at increasing Koreantransmission grid capabilitiesbased on Alstom technology. Thejoint venture has beenimplemented with a shareholdingof 49% for Alstom and 51% forKEPCO. The HVDC global market is

expected to grow by €50bnbetween now and 2020 and is astrategic growth area for AlstomGrid and KEPCO, as Supergridsdevelop around the world.Alstom’s high voltage directcurrent technology is essential

for bringing large amounts of power across long distances, withminimal losses, and is also usedfor integrating renewables andfor offshore connections.

Alstom Grid andKEPCO have beenworking togethersince 1997 on twoimportant HVDCreference projectsin Korea. Alstomprovided theoriginal 300 MWHVDC bipole linkfor the directpoint-to-pointsubmarine intercon-nection linkingSouth Korea’s Jeju

Island across 101 kilometres withthe mainland in the late 1990s. In 2009, Alstom was then awardeda second contract to supply thenew converter stations for the400 MW high voltage directcurrent (HVDC) bipole scheme. “This joint venture will allow

Alstom to increase its HVDCtechnical footprint in Asia andKEPCO to benefit from Alstom’sproven industrial expertise,”Patrick Plas, Senior Vice Presidentof Alstom Grid, tells WIP. “We are very honoured to partnerwith the largest electric utility inSouth East Asia. Our success inHVDC projects in Korea has builtcommon understanding and ashared feeling of confidence.”

Wood pellets fuel Tampere’s district heating projectFinland’s largest pellet-fired heating plant, which was supplied by Metso to Tampereen Energiantuotanto Oy,Tampere, is based on a technological solution said to be the first of its kind in the country. It will bring newopportunities to gear the structure of Finnish district heat production towards the goals of sustainabledevelopment, reports TE. Previously, peak load plants have been using fossil fuels because there was no

other technology available. The Tampere-based plant ismainly fired with wood pellets and its heat output isaround 33 MW. The plant has replaced some of thecapacity of the oil- and gas-fired boiler plants and hasthus helped substantially reduce the CO2 emissionsfrom the production of district heat. The plant hasbeen producing environmentally friendly energy in thecity of Tampere since December 2013. Metso’s part of the project comprised a complete

turnkey boiler plant solution and the new Metso DNAautomation system. The new plant operates unmannedwith remote monitoring from the main control room ofthe Lielahti power plant which means operators areable to flexibly control the district heat production.

FROST & SULLIVAN REPORT

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan -Analysis of the Mexican DistributedPower Generation Market, finds that

the market earned revenues of more thanUS$217.6m in 2012 and estimates this toreach US$370.2m in 2017 at a compoundannual growth rate of 11.2%.

Insufficient centralised electricity, whichhas compelled several consumers togenerate their own power, along withincomplete grid facilities in large isolatedareas, offer huge scope for the DPG marketin Mexico, according to Frost & SullivanEnergy and Environmental Industry AnalystMartin Cataife.

"Recent net metering regulations in thecountry have encouraged the assembly ofnew DPG units in households and smallcommerce consumers. Net metering ofexpensive tariffs in the industrial segmenthas also sustained overall DPG installedcapacity growth rates," Martin reports.

However, DGP providers' reliance onelectricity subsidies coupled with gridintegration issues in isolated areas makemarket development uncertain.

Energy subsidies have added to thechallenge, as artificially low electricity

Mexico - the land of poweropportunities, says F&S

prices for most consumers in the countryreduce opportunities for DPG technologies,which have become a costly alternative togrids.

In fact, although DPG technologiesreduce transmission costs and provide thebenefit of local energy management andeconomies of scale, their startup costs arehigher than that of centralised electricityproduction, further affecting adoption.

The energy sector in Mexico has certainlimitations in terms of private participation

and foreign companiesare allowed to operate inthe country only throughspecific service contracts.

As required by theConstitution, the entireelectricity sector isfederally owned, withthe Federal ElectricityCommission (ComisiónFederal de Electricidad orCFE involved in directingand controlling the wholesector.

Attempts to reform thesector have traditionallyfaced strong political and

social resistance in Mexico, wheresubsidies for residential consumers absorbsubstantial fiscal resources.

The electricity sector in Mexico reliesheavily on thermal sources (75% of totalinstalled capacity), followed by hydro-power generation (22%).

Although exploitation of solar, wind, andbiomass resources has a large potential,geothermal energy is the only renewablesource (excluding hydropower) with asignificant contribution to the energy mix(2% of total generation capacity).

Expansion plans for the period 2006-2015estimate the addition of some 14.8 GW ofnew generation capacity by the publicsector, with a predominance of combinedcycles.

A new report from Frost and Sullivan claims the potential for the distributed power generation(DPG) market in Mexico is now very promising. The market will witness strong demand from

oil, gas and mining companies in Eastern Mexico, a region not served by the national grid.

It’s ironic that higher wholesale powerprices in the UK have led to an improved

Areport by bank Credit Suisse suggeststhat the wholesale price of electric-ity, the core of all our energy bills in

the UK, would top those in Germany by 85%in 2016-17. Cerdit Suisse goes on to saythat prices could be even higher ‘ingeneral’ for the next seven to 10 years.

The cause of this rise is identified as theUK government's new tax on carbon-dioxide emitting power generation overthe next seven years says Credit Suisse.

Its analysts also regard the UK’sinfrastructure defiencies being at the heartof a failure to import enough power fromthe European mainland.

Prices in the two countries had trackedone another for years, but they diverged in2012 as Germany gave a welcome boost tothe renewable energy generation sector byspending billions of Euros on subsidisingthe green sector.

By Winter 2016/17 UK power prices willtrade at an 85% premium to Germanequivalents, compared with a current 25%divergence, the Credit-Suisse figurespredict.

The UK Government brought in amandatory tax on carbon emissions at£4.94 per tonne of CO2 earlier in 2013,adding to the carbon charges already inplace under the European Union's EmissionsTrading System (EU ETS).

The two costs calculated together willrise to £30 per tonne in 2020, an expensewhich will significantly increase Britishpower prices.

German power prices have fallen on theback of the boom in solar and wind powerbut the government has now moved to reinin subsidies in recognition of the fact thatthe expansion may have come too fast.

This, in turn, has raised concerns overprofitability and problems with managingthe flow of green energy.

Credit Suisse suggests that the net effectbetween 2013 - 2023 will be to cap thegrowth of renewable capacity. The lack ofsubstantial interconnection capacity with

types of gas, including that produced bywaste water plants, and is a key mover inthe development of renewable energy andsustainable energy to meet internationalrequirements to reduce the use of fossilfuels.

Recently, Anglian Water and Edina UKentered into a 5-year contract for thesupply of gas-powered generatingequipment manufactured by MWM GmbH ofMannheim Germany.

A number of fully-containerisedgenerating sets are being supplied over afive year period. Although initiallymanufactured in Germany, the actualcontainerisation of the gensets takes placein Edina’s key manufacturing centre inLisburn, Northern Ireland.

“The total control of the design andmanufacturing process enabled Edina toproduce class-leading products to thehighest quality standards,” reported TonyFenton.

The first six gensets were delivered andinstalled by December 2010 and were fullyoperational in early 2011.

This first orderinvolved the design,build, installationand long term main-tenance of 2 x TCG2020(V16) and 4 xTCG 2016(V12)gensets to meetAnglian Water’s com-mitment to the AMP5 Biosolids pro-gramme. The choiceof both these enginetypes was based onthe highly-regardedand market leadingqualities - namely,

their efficiency and durability in biogasoperation. Another incentive was thethrough-life support package for whichEdina is widely known.

One of Edina’s most renowned energyprojects involved providing a MWM1.56MWe TCG2020(V16) gas ignitiongenerating set for the famous CranfieldUniversity.

The MWM genset was chosen by Cranfieldfor its enviable reputation for durabilityand for its exceptionally high availability atthe lowest economic operating cost.

The full turnkey package provided byEdina included not only the generatingequipment but a new steam boiler, fullyintegrated control system and total civilconstruction.

Cranfield now includes this new facilityas part of the curriculum for its coursebased on the benefits of CHP.

Cranfield University prides itself on itslong-established association with providingkey research into CHP, and has been linkedto the 30MWe installation owned by theManx Electricity Authority. The new facili-ty provided by Edina currently gives stu-dents an important opportunity to carryout their studies on the actual campus.

Edina is a ‘Total Energy Solution Provider’ currently employing over 140 personnel in five keylocations providing national coverage of the UK and Ireland for the full spectrum of services

Edina has been involved with severalAnaerobic Digestion projects throughoutthe country as part of its ongoingcommitment and competitive contributionto the industry.

Working with farmers and AD supplycompanies such as Marches Biogas, MTEnergie, Projen and Binowa among others,gensets have been supplied to Swancote

Energy, Wykey Farm, Wigley Farm, andPancross Farm (S Wales) over the last 24months.

The success of the MWMTCG2016(V12) at Swancote Energy,initially running on a feedstock of maizeand grass silage helped to facilitate theexpansion of the site to include food anddrink waste and the processing ofCategory 3 animal by-product. Thisprompted the delivery of the 1.5MWeMWM TCG2020(V16) with the two enginesnow producing 2.1MWe. Edina offers fullproduct support, keeping downtime to an

absolute minimum througha dedicated nationwideteam of engineers.Swancote now handles38,000 metric tonnes foodwaste per year.

Other projects handle avariety of food, effluentand other waste withsimilarly high results ofefficiency, reliability anduptime in excess of 95%.

With employees from thefarming community Edina is particularlyaware of the challenges faced by theindustry today and the need for soundinvestment and diversification.

With a thorough knowledge of theprocess from finance, planning and to gridconnection and beyond Edina can provideexpert technical advice and continuingsupport.

Edina recently won the contract tosupply the MWM TCG2016(V12) to Lea HallFarm for delivery in Autumn 2013.

Larger scale waste treatment enterprisesinclude projects with Biffa, BioCollectors,Cory Environmental, Shanks and Malaby toname but a few.

The MWM range of 500 – 2MWe isproving a popular choice with unbeatablelongevity and efficiency.

Edina has installed three 2MWecontainerised units at the UK’s largestwaste Anaerobic Digestion facility atCannock; these are currently operating atfull output.

For the fourth year in succession Edina

has increased output from itsmanufacturing base in Northern Irelandthanks to constant demand for highquality low-maintenance gas-poweredgenerating equipment. Since thebeginning of the year Edina has won 14out of 15 contracts submitted in Irelandwith a range from 500kWe to 2MWe.

The Edina containerized gas generatorhas established itself as a big success,proving to be more than a match forthose currently available in WesternEurope and one that meets all legal,environmental and statutory requirementswhile still being highly competitive.

Allied to a design that is based on over25 year’s operational experience andwhich incorporates the very latestprovisions for Health and Safety standardsfor secure maintenance over its longworking life, gives Edina’s products anexcellent track record.

Such attention to detail and planninghas caught the discerning attention ofmany clients in the UK, Ireland, Latviaand now in Australia where the first twounits are to be delivered shortly with

another 6 ordered for 2014.Further interest is being expressed on a

daily basis from potential clients aroundthe world whose location demands qualityand reliability as key priorities.

Edina has further plans to extend themanufacturing facility in 2014 andintroduce state-of-the-art onsite testingfacilities to reduce installation time.

DIESEL ENGINES

MAN Diesel recently received itsfirst order for the new 32/44CRdiesel, the first medium-speed,

large fourstroke engine to featurecommon rail fuel injection as standardequipment.

Moreover, since electronic engine controlis very much the enabling technology ofcommon rail fuel injection, the 32/44CRengine is also MAN Diesel’s first all-electronic four-stroke.

Significantly, this new development fromthe company’s four-stroke business unitbased in Augsburg, Germany, will not beoffered with any other form of fuelinjection.

“This situation reflects both our absoluteconfidence in our common rail system andthe market’s confidence in MAN Diesel’selectronic controls, based on severalyears of commercial operation,” Prof. Dr.Wolfram Lausch, Senior Vice President,Large Propulsion Business at MAN Diesel,tells WIP.

“In fact, the 32/44CR engine is creatingimmense customer interest and above all,this strong anticipation is based on thenew engine’s ability to meet futureemissions limits for oxides of nitrogen(NOx).“

The 32/44CR diesel offers a high

Low emissions, lowoperating costs & low lifecycle costs

cylinder output of 560kW and is derived fromthe established 32/40heavy fuel engine,which was the firstMAN Diesel engine tobe fitted with commonrail fuel injection andhas been undergoingsuccessful field testsfor a considerabletime.

One of the majorproduct objectives withthe 32/44CR was tofully exploit thebenefits of commonrail in both engineperformance andengine construction.

“A fuel system whichallows high injection pressures to becreated independent of engine speedallows much closer adaptation of engineperformance to a specific application thanever before, and also allowsimprovements in aspects of enginedesign,” Dr. Ralf Marquard, Senior VicePresident R&D Engineering at the MANDiesel four-stroke business unit, explains.

“With the adoption of common railtechnology on the 32/44CR we were ablenot only to achieve high specific poweroutput but also market-leading fuelefficiency and extremely low exhaustemissions, including invisible exhaustgases over the entire load range.”

In addition to these aspects, theproduct objectives of the 32/44CR alsoemphasised high reliability and longmaintenance intervals; ease of operationand maintenance; low lube oilconsumption; improved engine designincluding new pipework and wiring

concepts; and, naturally, unrestrictedheavy fuel oil capability.

The basic difference between the32/44CR engine and its 32/40 progenitoris a 10% increase in stroke.

“To achieve high specific output, lowfuel consumption and low noxiousemissions, the stroke dimension has beenincreased from 400 mm in the 32/40engine to 440 mm in the 32/44CR, andthe engine equipped with flexible andintelligent common rail fuel injection anda considerably more efficient turbo-charger,” says project leader StephanHaas. He concludes: “An increasedcompression ratio has made it possible togain strong benefits in the NOx - particu-lates - fuel consumption trade-off.”

The MAN Diesel & Turbo 32/44CR is said to represent the latest technology in medium-speed operated industrial-sized diesel engines. Its electronic injection high-efficiency turbochargers

and variable valve timing, means it achieves low emissions, low operating & lifecycle costs.

DATA CENTRES

At the core of Ecuador’s recentTelconet Data Center project arethe the extremely high security

measures taken to ensure a secure,uninterrupted power supply.

The Telconet Cloud Center falls intothe TIER IV category (capacity for 400racks), implying a margin of error which isalmost zero. It is the first TIER IVclassified data centre in Latin America.

HIMOINSA has provided a power systemwith HMW-810 T6 generation sets under2N+1 configuration, involving theinstallation of 24 soundproofed units (12generators in each centre) in a 20-inchcontainer, with MTU engines for operationin parallel with load sharing.

Given the demand for high-availabilitysites for companies to house their servers,Telconet Cloud Center is consideringbuilding two data centres: Telconet CloudCenter I, in Guayaquil (TIER IV categoryand capacity for 400 racks) and TelconetCloud Center II in Quito (TIER III categoryand capacity for 360 racks).

To provide an optimum emergencypower supply in these facilities,measuring 1,000m2 and 900 m2respectively, emergency generator setshad to be installed.

The installation of 24 sound-proofedHIMOINSA HMW-810 T6 units enablesparallel operation and ensures highsecurity, uninterrupted power supplylevels to the most important data centre

Himoinsa - supplyingsecure energy to key data centres

in Latin America.The facility features:

* A 3 MVA transformerstation;

* A 200 KVa scalableUPS with 2N+1configurationuninterruptible powersupply;

* Four 3X0.81 MVA gensets with anautomatic start function, and 2N+1configuration;

* An uninterruptible power supplyRectifier unit + Batteries (2N).

The HIMOINSA generator sets at this siteensure the continuity of supply, reducingthe margin of error to zero in the event ofa power failure in the main grid.

The Telconet Data Center offers housingservices (shared housing, hiring of closedcabinet space) and hosting services(virtual servers in a data center withadvanced security, surveillance and

fire-protection technology in place) to anycompany requiring them.

Today these data centres, which complywith TIA 942-2 and Uptime Instituteregulations, are undoubtedly the largestand most advanced in Ecuador.

When Telconet built a major data centre with capacity to ensure an interconnection within Ecuador,from Quito and Guayaquil to the outside world through the NAP of the Americas,HIMOINSA’s mission in this key project was to supply the emergency power system, reports WIP.

CONTROLS

Voith's new TurCon DTm has beendesigned to control steam turbineswith power capacities of up to 500

MW and is particularly well-suited todifferent control modes – from speed andfrequency control all the way to up tocomplicated extraction steam control.

This feature allows the TurCon DTm tooffer operators a wide range of benefits.Unlike some comparable systems, thecontroller features a fully integratedspeed measurement system with short-circuit and open-circuit monitoring.

The TurCon DTm does more than justmonitor speed for plausibility, reportsVoith, it also monitors the electric linesfor malfunctions. This helps preventunscheduled downtime and the costsassociated with it, while at the same timeconsiderably increasing the safety of thecontrol process.

The modular design of the TurCon DTm

makes it easy to replace individualcomponents. No additional equipment isneeded to safely control steam turbinesbecause all the relevant components arefully integrated. The result is reduced

total cost of ownership (TCO) for theoperator. Unlike many comparablecontrollers, the critically important safetyrelays (TRIP) are also integrated into thecontroller, thus eliminating the need toinstall them separately, says Voith.

In critical process states, theTRIP relays enable reliable turbineshutdown signalling.

Voith's TurCon DTm digitalcontroller is said to be fullyconfigurable and can becustomised to individual operatorrequirements.

The easy-to-use touchscreendisplay supports simple controllerparameterisation.

Voith has more than 30 years ofexperience in actuator and controlengineering and prides itself on theproven high reliability of itsproducts.

According to the manufacturer,

the statistical Mean Time BetweenFailures (MTBF) for Voith actuators andcontrol systems reaches values of up to100,000 years.

Voith describes TurCon DTm as ‘a fittingaddition to the broad control systemproduct portfolio’.

In summary, the steam turbine controllerTurCon DTm from Voith measures allrelevant process variables during steamturbine operation.

Depending on the sensor values andprocess requirements, the TurCon DTm hasbeen designed to relay standard signals tothe actuator, enabling safe steam turbinecontrol. This prevents any unscheduleddowntime and the unplanned costsassociated with it, concludes Voith.

Safety is the top priority with steam turbine control. High drive chain reliability is a must inpreventing accidents and property damage. The digital controller TurCon DTm from Voith has

been designed to provide the safe control of steam turbines, reports WIP.

POWER SUPPLY

The Synch Lock product from DeepSea Electronics is designed tosynchronise the mains or utility

supply with a generator supply and tohold it in synch for a chosen period oftime until the fuses can be manuallyremoved, to disconnect the mains power.

Forward and backward synchronisingwith the mains or utility supply enablesmaintenance or service work to be carriedout on substations or circuit breakers etc,without interrupting the supply.

Recent in-depth testing of the productwas carried out at two different locationsin the UK. The first of these was DSE’sown manufacturing facility in NorthYorkshire which boasts a three-setsynchronising & load sharing system whichprovides power to the factory in the eventof a mains power failure.

This live application was used to put theDSE7570 through its paces during a two-day testing program, where onsiteengineers were able to simulate a widerange of different applicationrequirements.

Synch Lock testing ahuge success, reports DSE

The second set oftesting was performedonsite at a customerlocation in the UK andagain took place overthe course of two days.

The testing, onceagain, was performedon a live system whichtook the DSE7570through all aspects ofits features andfunctions.

Throughout bothtesting periods theDSE7570 performedoutstandingly well withno issues, reports DSE.

The DSE7570 iscontained within aportable, hard-shell, plastic case, and islight enough to be hand-carried, making iteasy to transport from site to site. Thisproven and reliable technology is ideal forthe rental market where companies areoften called upon to provide generatorhire sets, or temporary sets, at shortnotice, and also allows them to carry outemergency repairs or maintenance workwithout interrupting the power supply.

The powerful ARM microprocessorcontained within the module allows forincorporation of a range of complexfeatures:

• Text based LCD display (supportingmultiple languages).

• True RMS Voltage, Current and Powermonitoring.

• Fully configurable inputs for use asalarms or a range of different functions.

The Synch Lock module can be installedup to a distance of 200m away from thecontroller allowing for a high level ofinstallation flexibility to suit multiple

applications where access may beawkward or restricted.

Alterations can be made to selectedoperational sequences, timers and alarmsmaking the DSE7570 truly flexible.

The DSE7570 forms part of a largerfamily of Load Sharing and Synchronisingmodules which are designed andmanufactured entirely by DSE at its UKfacility in North Yorkshire and suppliedthroughout the world.

Other modules in the DSE Load Sharingand Synchronising range include manyfeatures, for example: 32-setsynchronising; Dead Bus Synchronising;and Multiple communication optionsincluding Ethernet Communications &DSEWebNet.

A series of extensive tests on the DSE7570 Synch Lock product made by Deep Sea Electronicsplc (DSE) proved an outstanding success. It has proved itself capable of synchronising the mainsor utility supply with a generator supply and to hold it in synch for a chosen period of time.

GEN-SETS

The Green Machine generates fuel-free, emission free power from lowtemperature waste heat.

ElectraTherm’s Eastern Europeandistributor, GB Consulting, commissionedthe machine in February 2013 at the Brnobiogas plant to generate additional powerand increase energy efficiency on site. Todate, the machine has maintained over95% efficiency.

The Green Machine has been added toan existing biogas power facility producing900kWe. The two MWM internalcombustion engines are equipped with anexhaust gas heat exchanger designed tocombine both the heat available in theexhaust and the heat available in thejacket water into a single heat stream.

The waste heat from the engines isused to heat the anaerobic digestionprocess, and excess heat not needed tosustain the anaerobic digestion process isused by the Green Machine to producefossil-fuel free electricity 24/7.

The anaerobic digestion process at thissite uses a corn silage and manureslurry/mixture as the fuel source. Thecorn and manure are loaded into a self-feeding hopper. From the hopper, theresulting biomass is pumped to the

Fuel-free, emission-freepower from low grade waste heat

digester, where methane is producedthrough anaerobic digestion.

ElectraTherm's Green Machine convertslow temperature water flows into fuel-free, emission-free power. The GreenMachine output range is up to 65kWe,based on temperatures and flows.

The small footprint (6.5 x 8 x 7.25 ft or2 x 2.5 x 2.2 m), skid-mounted designfacilitates ease of installation.Additionally, the Green Machine’s controlsystem is fully automated, allowingremote control, remote monitoring andoff-site maintenance.

The Green Machine is scalable to eachheat source, allowing connection ofmultiple Green Machines to a single heatsource if enough energy is provided. TheGreen Machine employs a robust designand the majority of machine componentsare readily available.

ElectraTherm’s Green Machine uses atwin screw expander for its power block.The twin screw design is simple androbust. The operating speed of the GreenMachine is low, and does not require a

gearbox. The twin screw can also run in a“wet” condition meaning the refrigerantdoes not have to be 100% superheatedvapor. This is an advantage over tradition-al turbine-based expansion devices.

Advantages include: •Closed loop air cooled condensing

option results in zero water consumption;• Fully automated controls system with

remote monitoring and operatingcapabilities via Internet connection;

•and NEMA 3R / IP 54 enclosure.

A biogas/CHP facility based in Brno in the Czech Republic has just commissioned anElectraTherm’s Green Machine, based on two MWM engines. A high dynamic output range

allows the Green Machine to stay operating over a wide variety of site conditions, reports WIP.

LUBRICANTS FOR GAS TURBINES

Akey feature of Mobil DTE 932 GT,says its manufacturer, is that the oilis designed to limit varnish

formation in gas turbine power systems. During testing, Mobil DTE 932 GT was

shown to deliver additional criticalperformance benefits such as hightemperature performance, deposit controland excellent foam control and airrelease. Mobil DTE 932 GT meets orexceeds the standards set for GeneralElectric (GE) frame 3,5,6,7 and 9turbines.

“Varnish can have a highly detrimentaleffect on gas turbine operations” KirillChervyakov, Industrial Marketing Advisor,ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants, tellsWIP.

"During gas turbine operation, varnishdeposits can build up and stick to variousinterior surfaces and block openings andfilters, which can reduce power outputand reliability. Mobil DTE 932 GT offersthe potential for greatly reduced varnishformation.”

In addition to Mobil DTE 932 GT, MobilSHC Pegasus™, the latest evolution inExxonMobil’s range of Mobil Pegasus™natural gas engine oils, has been approvedfor use in GE Waukesha APG 1000 engines.GE cited good results for engine

ExxonMobil developshigh performance gas turbine oil

component wear anddeposit control as wellas fuel efficiencyimprovement. MobilSHC Pegasus has thepotential to reducefuel consumption by upto 1.5% and increase oildrain intervals fromfour to eight times thatof conventional gasengine oils.

The fuel efficiency ofMobil SHC Pegasus -says the manufacturer -relates solely to thefluid performancewhen compared toExxonMobil's standardSAE 40 natural gasengine oils.

The technology used in Mobil SHCPegasus demonstrated up to a 1.5%increase in fuel efficiency compared toMobil Pegasus 1005 and 805 series whentested in standard natural gas engineapplications under controlled conditions.

“Efficiency improvements will varybased on operating conditions. The energyefficiency claim for this product is basedon test results on the use of the fluidconducted in accordance with allapplicable industry standards andprotocols,” a company spokesman toldWIP. Alongside its high quality lubricants,ExxonMobil offers its proprietary online oilanalysis service, Signum™ Oil Analysis.Signum is said to enable operators toproactively monitor the condition oflubricants and address conditions whichhave the potential to lead to unscheduleddowntime and increased costs.

Mobil SHC Pegasus™ gas engine oil - thenew gas turbine lubricant - is said to:

• Offer the potential to greatlyreduce varnish formation.

• Meet or exceed the standards forGE frame 3,5,6,7 and 9 turbines

• Be approved for GE WaukeshaAPG 1000 engines.

ExxonMobil has launched Mobil DTE™ 932 GT, a high-performance oil designed to helpimprove the reliability and power output of gas turbines. The new lubricant is said to have been

specifically designed to help power operators improve safety and productivity, reports WIP.

FUEL POLISHING

In fact this is not just a hyoptheticalstory. WASP PFS Ltd has recentlysupplied two fuel polishing systems to

Finning, whose client is a major Americanbank located in Central London.

The bank knew its facility would failwithout power. A spokesman comments:“We could not afford poor quality fuel ora back-up generator failure, andespecially wanted to reduce the cost ofremoving, disposing and replacingcontaminated fuel.”

Finning’s client wanted completecontinuity and asked them to recommenda reliable, high-quality fuel polishingmanufacturer.

The bank sought a reasonably pricedcustomised unit installed with itstanks/generators to ensure they featuredexcellent fuel quality.

Finning, a longstanding WASP customer,knew WASP would be able to provide theright solution, and recommended thecompany and its expertise.

Fuel polishing was already known to theclient because of its key relevance to theindustry. As biodiesel is added to gasoil/fuel oil (EN590) fuel degrades quicker

Fuel polishing - reducingthe risk of gen-set failure

and attracts water thuscreating contamination,which is a huge challengefor back-up generators tocope with.

As a result, contaminatedfuel could cause the client’sback-up generator to failwhen run in an emergencysituation (on-load for areasonable duration).

Most regular generatortests will not pick this issueup, unless the fuel has beenlaboratory tested as well.

WASP suggested thesimplest and mosteconomical solution to good fuel house-keeping - to install a machine tomaintain fuel quality in the form of a fuelpolishing system.

The client company laid out its technicalrequirements and WASP was able to matchthem. It set about the task of designing,developing & manufacturing twocustomised enclosed fuel polishingsystems with variable speed pumps.

These were manufactured to preservethe fuel in the back-up generator tank byremoving particulates, bacterial content,biomass, sludge, water and other foreignmatter.

However, most importantly theyfocussed on the absolute filtration ofparticulates at 2 micron, and waterremoval.

Finning installed the polishing systemson the client’s site and WASP used itsexperience and expertise to assist incommissioning, as well as offering fulltraining for the client’s facilities team,showing them how to test and operate theunits as well as utilise their BMScapabilities.

Once installed, these systems ensuredthe client had optimum fuel quality intheir tanks. Moreover, via the integratedBMS communication system, the clientwas able to monitor the system remotelyand could be certain of their fuel quality.

This remote monitoring, tied into thesimplicity of setup and operation, meantgood fuel housekeeping will always be assimple as possible for the client.

The patented technology employed inthe WASP solution cost the clientsignificantly less than the outlay for areplacement tank of fuel.

Fuel polishing systems installed onback-up generators will protect theclient’s generator against fuel-relatedbreakdowns and will improve itsefficiency. This has the added advantageof reducing the clients’ carbon-footprintwhilst ensuring a cost-savings each year;making the fuel polishing system theperfect solution for them.

Imagine you’re a London-based bank operating backup gen-sets. You don’t want the hazards ofpoor quality fuel or a potential generator failure, and need to reduce the cost of removing,

disposing of & replacing contaminated fuel. WASP PFS Ltd has a solution, reports WIP.

Free-standing enclosures available from RittalRittal's new free-standing enclosure the SE 8 is a standardised systemwith features that can be assembled efficiently.Keeping the costs of engineering & handling in check, free-standing

enclosures are used in many areas of industry and in building servicesmanagement. Typical fields of application are compact machineryand equipment, whose power distribution and automationcomponents can be accommodated in one single enclosure.Unlike baying suites with frames and removable side panels, the

body of Rittal’s SE 8 consists of two side panels and a roof madefrom one piece of sheet steel. For the user, this means that bothhandling and installation of separate side panels are eliminated.Depending on size, SE 8 enclosures are available as one or two-door

models. One particular advantage is that due to the absence of acentre bar, doors can overlap and the 1,800 mm wide, two-doorsystem enclosures offer unimpeded access to complete mountingplates and switch panels. Rittal’s SE 8 offers major potential savings,especially in the larger widths. One single enclosure can thus be usedinstead of two or three bayed ones.Thanks to the TS 8 sections on the side panels, which Rittal produce

in a unique manufacturing process, the user can now easily andquickly install the complete range of accessories familiar from thebaying system in the SE 8.System accessories includevirtually all the productsneeded in enclosure config-uration. Accessories rangefrom enclosure lightsthrough to climate controlsolutions. Overall, the useralso benefits from theimproved interior installa-tion capabilities. Flexibilityand additional space areprovided by expanding ontwo mounting levels.www.rittal.co.uk

J624 Jenbacher engines installed in AustriaThree of GE’s latest J624 Jenbacher engines have been installed incogeneration plant belonging to Austria Energie AG, an Austrianutility serving about 1,400 customers in Kirchdorf.
