IN BRIEF

South Africa Will Not Meet Decarbonisation Target For 2030

Research by Rystad Energy suggests that South Africa’s decarbonisation efforts have not been wholly successful as renewable power capacity is expected to fall short of the 2030 target

The independent research and business intelligence company has indicated that renewable energy will account for just 20% of the country’s power mix by the end of the decade - very much short of the 41% target.

120MW COMBINED HEAT & POWER PROJECT FOR THE CALABAR REGION IN NIGERIA

Marelli Motori will be supplying alternators to ten 12MW Bergen B36:45V20 gas engines for a landmark 120MW Combined Heat & Power (CHP) project in Nigeria. Each generator set will have a weight of over 175 tonnes.

The contract was formally signed this year by Bergen Engines AS in the presence of Sir Benedict Ayad, Executive Governor of Cross River State.

The project will provide heat and power to a major new industrial complex and its surrounding area in the Calabar region of Nigeria’s Cross River State.

The gas-fired combined cycle heat & power (CHP) plant is designed with high overall energy efficiency, reduced emissions and the flexibility to support renewables as they become available.

The complex being powered by Bergen engines will be home to many new developments for the Calabar region. Plans include a biotechnology research laboratory, a nano-water plant for production of hydrogenated drinking water, and a waste transformation recycling centre which features biofertilizers and the ability to process used tyres and plastics. The development will be undertaken between Bergen Engines AS and Nigeria’s Alternative Petroleum & Power Ltd (APPL), supported by Lagos consulting engineers Kelm Engineering Ltd and Diesel Electric Services (PTY) Ltd of South Africa.

EnSmart Power has been selected to provide uninterruptible power supplies for the IT systems at the operational branches of Algeria Director General of National Security. This keeps the security systems running and enhance power availability for Algeria’s civil police force. It polices Algeria’s larger cities and urban areas.

The Sûreté is part of the Ministry of Interior and is charged with maintaining law and order, protecting life and property, investigating crimes, and apprehending offenders. It also performs other routine police functions, including traffic control.

To provide uninterruptible power and increase power availability of critical IT systems , DGSN identified a need to find an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) partner capable of supporting the entire process. The partner also has to have the technical knowledge and advanced technology required to meet the UPS power protection chosen as the UPS supplier for DGSN.

EnSmart recommended the Compact 3L Series UPS 10kVA - 40kVA for the branches which need 3phase power protection and SmartPack UPS 3-6-10kVA models for single phase UPS for this project. The EnSmart Compact 3L Series has so far proved the right choice for the police forces.

The all-round talent.

State-of-the-art components providing more power: the compact design, a focus on a wide range of applications and high efficiency values make sure of that. Controlled by the smart and secure TPEM (Total Plant & Energy Management), the new TCG 3020 series offers highest profitability and reliability.
