Linz Electric’s Alternators: Energy for your Success.
In the middle of its winter season South Africa is being affected by the nation’s largest ever power crisis. Industrial and domestic users are facing rolling blackouts of up to six hours a day in cold conditions and with an unreliable power supply. When demand for electricity exceeds supply, energy providers use load-shedding (turning off the lights) to ease the pressure and prevent the collapse of the entire power grid. Eskom started implementing load-shedding in late 2007. Poor management and corruption at Eskom means South Africa has been experiencing power cuts for many years but this is poised to be the worst yet. South Africa is fast approaching last year’s figure of 2,521 gigawatt hours of electricity cut from the grid. So far, Eskom has shed 2,276 gigawatt hours, [July 2022 figures]. To prevent a total grid collapse, Eskom cuts power to different parts of the country at a time. In July 2022 Eskom entered stage six for the first time since December 2019, meaning it had to cut 6,000MW hours to prevent a nationwide blackout. There are eight stages of load shedding - each stage means 1,000 megawatt hours must be cut. For every stage of load shed ding there is about 250 million rand ($15.3m; £12.9m) lost on that particular day. Stage six, involves around 1.5bn rand ($92m) being shaved from the economy

Lack of electricity in Africa remains one of the biggest barriers to the region’s development and prosperity and continues to trap millions of people in extreme poverty. Thirty-seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa have a national electrification rate of below 50%. As a result, quality of life is severely diminished, resulting in needless deaths and stifled economic growth. Nearly 730 million people in sub-Saharan Africa heat their homes and cook using traditional fuels like wood and dung rather than electrical power.
The effect of the power cuts have been exacerbated by industrial action by Eskom workers who went on strike. Eskom’s investment efforts are also being hampered by a US$26bn (£22bn) debt, which is compounded by the fact that it has old, inefficient power stations that require constant work to keep them running.

AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW: GAS GENSET AT A MANUFACTURING PLANT GENERATES 50% OF SITE POWER REQUIREMENTS and the MWM Service. For us, these were good reasons to opt for another MWM gas genset for the new cogeneration power plant.”
Paul J. Plikat, who was involved in the planning of the new cogeneration power plant as head of the Grünewald energy industry project., comments: ”We already have a cogeneration power plant with an MWM TCG 2032 V16 genset in the main OTTO FUCHS factory. Since 2013 alll our experiences with this model have been positive, both with regard to the performance and reliability of the engine and in terms of the good collaboration with the manufacturer
The state-of-the-art coating plant is connected to a high-bay warehouse and a shipping and logistics center. The building application for the new plant included the request for permission to set up a cogeneration power plant to generate electricity on site.The power-controlled cogeneration power plant with an MWM TCG 2020 V12 genset and an output of 999 kW generates about 50 percent of the power required on site.
Giebert explains that especially during the cold season, the exhaust heat from the power generation is used in its entirety. Apart from heating the factory, many surface coating processes also depend on heat, e.g. the pre-treatment or special washing systems. For the cogeneration power plant in the Grünewald factory, the planning and rollout of the energy supply was handled by the company itself.
Vladimir Giebert underlines the good coopera tion between OTTO FUCHS and Caterpillar Energy Solutions: ”As expected, the collaboration was very pleasant and professional. Minor initial difficulties were quickly resolved in a competent manner by the MWM Service in collaboration with our main tenance personnel. Apart from the good collabo ration with Caterpillar Energy Solutions, our team members also played their part in ensuring that the project was successfully completed within a short period of time.“

he automotive division of OTTO FUCHS KG is known for its forged aluminum wheels in the premium segment, the so-called Fuchs wheels. In the new surface centre in Meinerzhagen, Germany, a cogeneration power plant equipped with an MWM genset delivers heat and power to one of the most modern paint plants on the market.Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, Porsche, or Rolls Royce... marveling at these wonders of automotive technology, you have doubtlessly noticed the exquisite forged aluminum wheels made by OTTO FUCHS. The market leader in forged aluminum wheels is based in Meinerzhagen in the west of the Sauerland region. In the nearby Grünewald industrial zone, OTTO FUCHS has invested about €80 million in a new surface centre: OTTO FUCHS Surface Technology GmbH & Co. KG. Here, the beautiful Fuchs wheels get their special finish.
The go-live took place in spring 2020.
The cogeneration power plant is not the only heat generator at OTTO FUCHS Surface Technology in Grünewald.Anaturalgas boiler and the heat recovery system of the compressed-air supply are hydraulically connected to the cogeneration power plant. These individual heat generators are controlled by a central control that the TEM control of the cogeneration power plant is also connected to. One of the challenges encountered during the installation, was to ensure the efficient networking of these various components. After some minor initial glitches, everything is now on track, and the annual usage amounts to more than 70 percent. The MWM TCG 3020, successor model of the TCG 2020, generator set effectively balances efficiency and reliability. The genset delivers up to 18 percent more output than its predecessor, though its dimensions are almost the same. Additionally, the new model features long service intervals with up to 80,000 operating hours until the next general overhaul (if the gas quality is high) and a total efficiency of more than 87 percent (with natural gas).
The power-controlled MWM gas genset runs in flex operation, adapted to the factory‘s shifts. ”In this way, we can effectively control the power genera tion in accordance with the demand in the factory“, says Vladimir Giebert, Project Engineer Supply, Factory Planning, and Maintenance at OTTO FUCHS.

K OHLER SDMO distributor ADEMAT has supplied and commissioned three diesel generators to provide energy for the pumps of the Mé drinking water supply station in the Côte d’Ivoire. BESIX carried out the civil engineering works at the La Mé drinking water treatment plant. The project has designed to improve the quality and efficiency of the drinking water supply to the city of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
The UN estimates that 2.4 billion people worldwide do not have direct access to clean drinking water. Climate change, urbanisation and industrialisation are just some of the factors which make fresh water an increasingly scarce commodity, which is spread out very unequally among different countries. The issue is exacerbated by the problem of water pollution, with over half of humanity only able to access water of poor quality. Before being distributed to the taps in Côte d’Ivoire, water must pass through a treatment plant to make it drinkable. Used in a recent application in France for a similar water treatment plant. the B-900kVA Kohler-SDMO generating set has been equipped with a Baudouin engine. It features PRP power in kW: 654, standby Rating (kVA) 900 Prime Rating KOHLER(kVA).SDMO provides one source responsibility for the generating set and accessories/ The generator set, its components and a wide range of options have been fully developed, prototype tested, factory built, and production tested. The generator sets are designed in accordance to ISO8528. The engines feature high reliability enhanced through a simple design for optimal functional performances. High performances turbochargers providing high engine performances under all loads The genset offer easy operation and maintenance: accessories requir ing daily maintenance are located conveniently on the same side of the engine.Thegenset’s alternator provides industry-leading motor starting capability with an excitation system to permit sustained overcurrent >300% In, during 10 sec. It has been built with a class H insulation and IP23. The cooling system features a compact and complete solution using a mechanical or high temperature and altitude product capacity available. The KOHLER SDMO wide controller range provides reliability and performance. You can program, manage and diagnose it easily and in an efficient way. The set comes with a standard two-year or 1,000-hours limited warranty for standby applications, + a standard one-year or 2,500 hours limited warranty for prime power applications. www.kohler-sdmo.comademat.ci
The plant, which is located on the road to Grand Alépé, a village 40 kilometres north of Abidjan, was designed to treat almost 240,000 m³ of water a day from the river La Mé, to improve drinking water provision to the region, and in particular to the city of Abidjan.

Power generation, like any major infrastructure, can be a target for cyber attacks. Therefore, cyber security is one of the essential features ComAp focuses on from the very start of product development. This focus on security is even more evident with the InteliGen 1000 as it has a number of features that further enhance cyber security without compromising remote communications or flexibility.
CONTROLLERS
When commissioning, they found that InteliConfig, ComAp’s latest configuration and monitoring tool, was easy to use and allowed for intuitive programming, which was helpful for the newer, less experienced engineers on their team. InteliGen 1000 brings best practices from the information technology world to the power generation industry. These include introducing a unique cyphering system for each connection session with the controller, extra authentica tion for users connecting from the outside, ComAp signed firmware, individual user account logins, data logging, and many others. All this protects customers’ facilities against external cyberattacks and, at the same time, lets them enjoy the benefits of remote monitoring and connectivity. www.comap-control.com
PCAS is a mission-critical power solutions company working internationally on data centres, hospitals, CHPs, gas peaking plants, with over 1000MW of power installed and commissioned across the UK.
“The InteliGen 1000 gave us the power we needed to run this application. The pre-programmed functions allowed us to put the engine into operation very quickly and the large in-built PLC interpreter allowed us to implement the specific customer requirements easily and quickly on our own. Cyber security, redundancy options, and G99 readiness were the main attributes for selecting this controller,” said Stuart Turner, Managing Director at Power Control and Automation Solutions Ltd. The InteliVision 5.2 display provided fast and easy access to control the gen-set, and the easyto-read onscreen information made helping the customer with any fault-finding very easy.
PCAS proposed utilising a JCB generator and outfitting the system with the latest ComAp´s InteliGen 1000 controller along with the new InteliVision 5.2 display to allow power management and an N+1 solution.
C
omAp, the leading provider of smart energy control solutions, recently introduced InteliGen 1000, a paralleling gen-set controller for complex applications, such as data centres, hospitals, or banks. Its developers had three key values in mind right from the beginning of its design: powerful hardware, communication possibilities with a great focus on cybersecurity, and flexibility. InteliGen 1000 is ready to be used in demanding applications, including grid connections, virtual power plants, demand response, or spot price dispatch.
“InteliGen 1000 is the latest platform that ComAp would like to build on going forward. This advanced controller is a culmination of several years of development, in which we combined 30-years of experience in power generation control solutions and new technologies. The InteliGen 1000 will enable us to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in power generation, especially in complex installations like back-up systems for data centres or microgrids,” says Petr Matas, Director of Product Management at ComAp.
“When developing the controller, we put great focus on cybersecurity, large-scaled communication capabilities, and product flexibility, which we believe will play a key role in future business,” adds Matas.
InteliGen 1000 is around 20 times more powerful than its predecessor - InteliGen NTC BaseBox - and is able to handle both critical and non-critical tasks at the same time. The controller can communicate with a large number of connected remote devices as well as up to 64 controllers at one site. In most applications, the more complex the site is, the more controllers are needed. This increases the complexity of the project, and more importantly, it increases the related costs. Typically, the limit for these applications is 32 controllers used. You can have more, but that means adding another master controller, and gen-set groups, and much more programming. For an application that has about 40 controllers, this would be both overly complicated and expensive. However, the InteliGen 1000 can have up to 64 controllers connected with the communication bus, so there is no need for adding extra units. With this feature, InteliGen 1000 can be used for much larger applications, eliminating the need for additional units, programming, and expenses.
Power Control And Automation Solutions Ltd (PCAS) partnered with ComAp recently and installed InteliGen 1000 at a backup power plant in a hospital in the Midlands, United Kingdom.

The hospital approached PCAS for an end-to-end solution for a back-up power plant as they know the hospital’s technical manual and requirements.Thepowerplant room is quite small, so PCAS had a close collab oration and consultations with the hospital’s project team to understand their needs and develop a tailored, functional solution.
SA-BASED MTN DATA CENTRE
www.mtn.co.za
The telco said it is undergoing an “aggressive rollout” of batteries, generators, and alternate power supplies, and is reaching out to small businesses to supply generators for its network operations.
“Due to extended load shedding there was a cooling system failure at MTN’s Gallo Manor data center where we host some of our web servers,” the company said on its status page yesterday. “This unfortunately damaged certain Afrihost hosting servers.”
L oad shedding by the grid operator in South Africa has caused a cooling system failure at an MTN data centre in Johannesburg. African hosting firm Afrihost is suffering an outage after a cooling failure in an MTN facility it occupies in the Gallo Manor area of the city. Email services and websites hosted through Afrihost have been offline for upwards of thirty hours. Afrihost reported disruption in the data center affecting its hosting environment, noting that affected servers will experience limited to no access to the outside world.
The company said it has upgraded its battery back-up solutions on over 80 percent of its sites, but warned the current outage schedule does not allow enough time for batteries to charge. Battery back-up systems generally take 12-18 hours to recharge, while batteries have a capacity of about 6-12 hours, depending on the site category.AtStage 4, load shedding outages are to be implemented 12 times over a four-day period for two hours at a time, or 12 times over an eight-day period for four hours at a time.
“ Whether the business has two or 20 generators, MTN is looking to partner,” the company said. Companies such as Teraco and Africa Data Centres have invested or plan to invest billions of rands in developing new data centres in South Africa.
In recent weeks
MTN has also deployed more than 2,000 generators to counter the impact of Stage 4 (and higher) load shedding and currently using more than 400,000 liters of fuel per month to keep these generators operational. MTN said it is inviting all businesses which are in possession of generators, to become potential suppliers to MTN.
DATA CENTRES
“There is no doubt the country is facing a power crisis but at MTN, we want to turn this crisis into an opportunity for small businesses by ‘crowd sourcing’ generators to further support our network,” said Charles Molapisi, MTN SA CEO. Michele Gamberini, the Chief Technology and Information Officer at MTN SA, added: “Despite us having placed thousands of batteries at our sites across the country, the efficacy of those batteries greatly reduces once we pass stage 4 load shedding.”
“We currently have 3,161MW on planned maintenance, while another 17,395MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns,” Eskom said. MTN tweeted: “We are working tirelessly to limit the impact of load shedding on our customers. The majority of MTN’s sites have back-up power but the frequency & severity of outages means those batteries are unable to recharge sufficiently.”
AUGUST 2022 18 AFRICA POWER NEWS www.powermediagroup.co.ukwww.wipmagazines.com
Eskom has been load shedding –disconnecting sites from the power grid ahead in a scheduled manner to control the load and prevent total grid collapse – at Stage 4, where more than 4,000MW of capacity is removed from the grid. Power cuts have become an increasingly regular occurrance as the grid struggles with capacity needs. A stage 6 load shed – where 6,000MW is cut – was sched uledlast month. Experts are warning a Stage 8 shed (i.e. 8,000MW) may be needed in the near future. Eskom said it is struggling with a ‘high level of absenteeism’ amid an ‘unlawful strike’ that is slowing repairs. Staff are on strike amid wage discussions.
The biggest investment - a R15 billion hyperscale data centre campus in Waterfall, Gauteng - is currently being built for Vantage Data Centres.
Jacqui O’Sullivan, Executive for Corporate Affairs at MTN South Africa said: “MTN can confirm that one of its coolers at the Gallo Manor data center was affected following a power outage on Wednesday afternoon. “However, the cooling system is redundant and therefore did not fully shut down and was in fact fully restored within 45 minutes. MTN is liaising with custom ers to investigate any impact on their operations.”
