US fossil fuel plants could switch to energy storage E2S Power and SNCLavalin have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaboratively explore the potential for converting end-of-life fossil fuelfired power plants into clean energy facilities by deploying utility-scale thermal energy storage solutions. This non-binding collaboration has the advantages of addressing the rapidly growing energy storage market while giving a second life to valuable power infrastructure and transitioning local economies to clean energy. E2S Power and SNCLavalin will work with utilities and power generators in North America to evaluate and offer optimised integrated thermal energy solutions for their existing plants and facilities being phased out. Coal plants in the USA have been closing at a fast rate since 2010 (290 plants have closed from 2010 to May 2019; this was 40% of the US's coal generating capacity) due to clear competition from other generating sources, primarily cheaper and cleaner natural gas - a result of the fracking boom). This has replaced so many coal plants that natural gas now accounts for 40% of the US's total electricity generation. Dr Sasha Savic, E2S Power CEO, repoorts:. “North America has more than 200 GW of coalfuelled capacity which may be decommissioned in the coming years in the transition to carbon neutrality. E2S Power offers a solution to ensure security of supply while preserving important assets and power plant jobs.” Savic explains: “New energy storage technology is revolutionising the energy system, combining E2S’ solutions which extend the life cycle of current infrastructure and our global engineering expertise, we’ll introduce new technologies to deliver carbon-free, sustainable utilities solutions,” said Nick Johnson, VP Power, Grid & Industrial Solutions, SNCLavalin.

he Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG Power) has selected Emerson, a global software, technology and engineering leader, to modernize and optimize operations at its Wansley Unit 9 combined cycle power plant. MEAG Power’s investment is critical for the continued reliable delivery of competitive wholesale electricity to member communities across the state of Georgia. Emerson’s Ovation software and technologies will help to digitally transform the Georgia plant through more flexible operations, improved process efficiency and enhanced cybersecurity. The 500-megawatt Wansley natural gas-fueled power station is an essential part of MEAG Power’s diverse generation portfolio–delivering 69%
power - but obsolete generation controls have impacted the plant’s availability and financial performance. Dependable, flexible operations are critical to meeting fast-changing market demands and the region’s growing power needs. To support the reliability and diversity of MEAG Power’s generation portfolio as it transitions to an even cleaner portfolio, Emerson will upgrade the Wansley Unit 9 control system to a modern, integrated Ovation solution. “Natural gas generation is a crucial part of our diverse energy mix that will play a meaningful role as we transition to a higher percentage of non-emitting generation,” said Steve Jackson, MEAG Power’s senior vice president and chief operating officer. “Modernizing the Wansley Unit 9 combined cycle plant with Emerson’s proven, advanced Ovation automation platform will enable us to continue providing reliable
NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2021 AMERICAN POwER NEwS
and competitively-priced power to our 49 Participant communities, ensuring longterm success.” As part of the contract, Emerson will replace the legacy balance-of-plant, steam turbine controls, gas turbine controls, as well as the generator excitation and burner management and vibration monitoring systems at Wansley Unit 9 with a unified Ovation automation platform. Incorporating Emerson’s condition monitoring solution into the control system will translate into greater visibility of asset health. An advanced power application will use predictive model-based control software to optimize operational flexibility and process efficiency by managing steam temperature during load changes created by renewable energy variability. Robust cybersecurity technologies are integral to Emerson’s comprehensive solution that is designed to enhance and secure operations at Wansley Unit 9. “MEAG Power’s forwardthinking approach to meeting future capacity and energy requirements balances the stability of natural gas power generation with the variability of renewable resources,” said Bob Yeager, president of Emerson’s power and water business. “Our advanced, integrated platform of digitally transformative software and technologies will optimize the operations at the Wansley natural-gas fired unit, enabling more reliable and efficient delivery of energy.”
he U.S.’s first anode manufacturing facility has opened in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The move has been described as a monumental step to enhance the domestic battery supply chain, as it faces increasing demand on a national basis. NOVONIX unveiled the ‘Riverside Recharged’ facility - a $20 million, 400,000 sq. ft. retrofit of a former GE nuclear turbine manufacturing facility - which will soon produce premium synthetic graphite. The company aims to produce 10,000 tonnes per year by 2023 and 40,000 tonnes by 2025. “NOVONIX is transforming the battery material market and lessening U.S. dependence on foreign sources,” said Dr. Chris Burns, CEO of NOVONIX. “Through our technological breakthroughs, we are the first and only U.S. supplier of synthetic graphite to be qualified with a Tier 1 battery cell manufacturer. Our solution is helping to power the energy storage market, leading to better performance, longer life and lower costs.” U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm joined NOVONIX and local leaders for the announcement, which included the creation of 290 jobs. “The local support for this means not just something for Chattanooga, and it’s not just for Tennessee, but it really is for the country,” Granholm said. “The fact that we’re at a facility that once employed about 230 people and that now is going to employ 300 people, making the future of our energy system secure, is such a great day for America.” The Dept. of Energy, through the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries, released the National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries in June with the goal of guiding investment to establish a secure battery materials and technology supply chain by 2030. China has, so far, dominated the battery supply chain but there are signs that the U.S., and other countries, are gaining ground. While around 80% of all battery cell manufacturing capacity is in China, BloombergNEF found that the U.S. moved into second place globally in 2021, and will retain the position through 2026 under current projections. Moreover, the Biden administration’s investment in battery research and proposed clean energy incentives are likely to close the gap even more. Storage batteries still represent the way forward. Connecting relatively large batteries (with a capacity of 1MW upwards, for example) to the electricity network can address the unsatisfactory current situation where, on very windy days, turbines have to be “curtailed” – i.e. deliberately ‘spill’ some or all of the wind to ensure supply doesn’t exceed demand. Rather than letting this renewable energy go to waste, a battery can soak it up and then discharge at peak times, reducing the need for fossil fuel generators to kick in. In 2015, around 1.3TWh of wind generation was constrained, which otherwise would have displaced thermal generation which emitted around 500,000 tonnes of carbon-dioxide. For some businesses it will make sense to install a battery and charge it up at off-peak periods to ensure they can avoid these very high network charges while maintaining a secure power supply. Domestic batteries are still in the ‘early adopter’ phase, appealing to those that are motivated by the love of new technology, or perhaps a desire to live “off-grid”. Utility-scale battery storage units (units of one megawatt (MW) or greater power capacity) are a newer electric power resource, and their use has been growing in recent years. 3

Renewables will make up 50% of Chile’s power mix by 2030 C
hile has secured the first renewable energy certification for a port operator in South America, confirming it uses 100% renewable electrical energy across its ports. The certification - endorsed by Ernst and Young - was awarded by the Chilean energy firm Colbun. The terminal operator worked with the energy group ENEL for over a year, to obtain this certification, and had to show how 100% of the port’s electricity comes from the hydro-electric plants across the two terminals. In a wider context, renewable energy is expected to comprise 50% of Chile’s power mix by 2030, according to data and analytics company, GobalData. GlobalData's report suggests that the development of renewable energy is a high priority for Chile. In 2018, the share of non-hydro renewable power reached 19% of the power mix and is expected to exceed 50% of the power mix by 2030. It is expected that with the growth of renewable energy sources in the future, the gas-based power capacity in the country will increase from 48% of the thermal power capacity in 2018 to 55% by 2030. Chile is now a net exporter of electricity, signifying that the increasing share of renewables and gas based power in the electricity mix will make up for the capacity vacuum resulting from the decommissioning of some coal capacity by 2030. Piyali Das, Power Industry analyst at GlobalData, commented: “Thermal power dominated Chile’s power mix in 2018 with a share of 52.7% of the total installed capacity, followed by hydro and renewable with a share of 28.1% and 19.1% respectively. In the renewable energy mix the major contributors are solar PV and wind with shares of 50.8% and 33.8% respectively in 2018.” Power consumption in Chile increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% between 2010 and 2018 due to increased economic activity. Chile recognised the need for energy storage as a key attribute to provide continuous, sustainable and reliable renewable power. As such, Chile is looking to energy storage technologies such as batteries, pumped hydro, molten salts and hydrogen as their immediate opportunity areas. The country has also implemented transmission expansion plans to incorporate ease in transmitting the renewable energy. Das concludes: “Chile is a land of opportunities for renewable energy. The Energy 2050 Roadmap, largescale energy storage solutions, grid modernisation and the subsequent retirement of the fossil fuel plants are the crucial elements expected to drive Chile’s energy transition.” 4

High-efficiency power for cannabis cultivation business PA Options for Wellness (PAOFW) has selected Kinsley Energy Systems to supply a high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) and chilled water system for a Lab Energy Cogeneration Plant in Pennsylvania., reports APN. The facility is part of commercial premises which cultivates cannabis on commercial basis for the medical sector.
A
contract was awarded to Kinsley Energy Systems to supply a highefficiency combined heat and power (CHP) and chilled water system for a Lab Energy Cogeneration Plant, reports the client PA Options for Wellness (PAOFW). Fuelled by liquified natural gas (LNG), the cogeneration plant will operate independently from the electric grid and serve as and the sole source of electric power and thermal energy to the PAOFW medicinal cannabis cultivation facility. Combined generation of electricity and heat, i.e. cogeneration, is a method of generating electrical energy in which the heat released during the electricity generation process is used in a useful way, thus achieving a very high efficiency of use of energy contained in the fuel. At the same time, this process minimizes the losses that occur in conventional ele ctricity generation. Due to the efficient use of “waste heat”, the combined heat and electricity generation can save up to 70 % of the energy contained in the fuel compared to separate electricity and heat generation.

Kinsley will provide a package consisting of four TEDOM cogeneration units, backup boilers, high-efficiency magnetic bearing electric chillers, and closed-circuit cooling towers with associ ated pumping systems. With built-in redundancy, the CHP plant will reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions, and ensure cultivation facility resiliency. The project broke ground in August 2021 with full commissioning of the cogeneration system anticipated for January 2022. PAOFW was awarded one of the first Medical Cannabis Clinical Registrant permits issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health in 2019. Working in collaboration with their Accredited Clinical Research Center, Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), Hershey Medical Center, PAOFW has established research as a primary mission, emphasizing individual patient care, treatment, and outcomes in developing their medicinal cannabis projects. The facility will use chilled and hot water from the cogeneration plant to maintain the tight en vironmental conditions required to grow the highest-quality products.
“Kinsley will provide a package consisting of four TEDOM cogeneration units, backup boilers, highefficiency magnetic bearing electric chillers, and closed-circuit cooling towers with associated pumping systems. With built-in redundancy, the CHP plant will reduce energy costs & cut carbon emissions.”
Tom Trite, CEO of PAOFW, said: "We selected Kinsley because they offered competitive cost, valuable technical support during project development and local service throughout the plant's life." The majority of TEDOM CHP units are ready for co-firing a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas up to the maximum hydrogen concentration of 20%, re ports the company. TEDOM natural gas-fired CHP units are gradually being tested and a fuel change to a hydrogen mixture is possible without the need for major design modifications. In addition, there are no major changes in the technical parameters of the CHP unit when the fuel is changed, reports TEDOM. This is one of the next options to reduce emission levels while producing power from natural gas unt il a full transition to renewable resources and a clean, green hydrogen is possible. What is green hydrogen? Hydrogen is considered the fuel of the future – it is available in almost unlimited quantities; it has a high energy density and it produces no emissions when burned. However, hydrogen does not naturally occur as a highly reactive element, so it must be obtained in targeted processes. Several types of hydrogen are distinguished, according to the method and origin of its production. Most hydrogen today is extracted from fossil fuels while greenhouse gases are released. The long-term goal is therefore switching to so-called green hydrogen which is obtained from water through electrolysis for which only emission-free energy from renewable sources is used additionally. Despite the undeniable advantages o f green hydrogen, the lack of infrastructure and the high cost of its production, storage and distribution hinder its popular use. These days, one way to start using hydrogen is by blending it into natural gas. Up to its concentration of 20%, the existing gas piping can be used without the need for major modifications. www.tedom.com

2GW / 6GWH battery energy storage systems for California
A 2GW / 6GWh of Tesla’s Megapack battery energy storage systems (BESS) has been supplied to California. US renewable energy company Arevon has signed a master supply agreement for 2GW / 6GWh of Tesla’s Megapack battery energy storage systems (BESS). Arevon is purchasing the Megapack all-in-one BESS solutions for its operations.
A
revon is purchasing the Megapack all-in-one BESS solutions for use in the Falcon Portfolio. This involves nine large-scale standalone battery storage projects in California which it is executing as a joint venture (JV) with independent power producer (IPP) Tenaska. According to documents filed with the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which oversees California’s grid network and wholesa le electricity markets, the Falcon Portfolio could be brought online from summer 2022 and the following summer and all the projects involved are at an advanced stage of development. Split across the service areas of California’s three main investor-owned utilities (IOUs), the BESS projects will provide up to four-hours of energy per day to meet Local Capacity Requirements (LCR). They can be
12
charged with wind and solar from times of surplus renewable production which might otherwise be curtailed and go to waste, and as has been seen with a number of other battery projects - replace the role of gas-fired generation. Both the Falcon Portfolio JV with Tenaska and Tesla supply deal build on long-standing relationships for Arevon: Tenaska and Arevon have already worked together on solar projects around the US , including in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) market while Tesla’s Megapacks are already in use or being deployed at several Arevon projects. By the end of 2021, Arevon will have built and brought into operation 250MW / 1,000MWh of projects using Megapacks in California and Nevada. In California, one notable project brought online in June 2021,
“Split across the service areas of California’s three main investorowned utilities (IOUs), the BESS projects will provide up to fourhours of energy per day to meet Local Capacity Requirements They can be charged with wind and solar energy.”
is Saticoy, a standalone 100MW / 400MWh BE SS which was developed and built using 142 3MWh Megapacks, after local community opposition to a new gas power plant. Saticoy went online just nine months after construction began and supplies power to IOU Southern California Edison (SCE) through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA). Like a gas peaker plant, it provides energy to the grid when local demand for energy is at its highest. Unlike a peake r plant, it doesn’t cause local emissions or pollution and the fuel it uses is abundant solar or off-peak grid energy not subject to gas pricing fluctuation. “Arevon is at the forefront of powering the energy transition through solar and storage resources. We are pleased to renew our relationship with Tesla, securing high-quality product that is in high demand,” Arevon chief operating officer Justin Joh nson said. “This agreement ensures that Arevon can deliver near-term storage solutions to our customers, mitigating the risk of supply shortages and project delays.” Arevon and Nextracker came to a supply agreement for Nextracker to supply NX Horizon smart solar trackers with TrueCapture and NX Navigator software and control systems for the 1.5 GW portfolio of projects in Indiana and Nevada. Of the seven projects, which are all expected to be operational by the end of 2023, five are located in Indiana: Elliott (200 MW), Gibson (280 MW), Ratts 1 and Ratts 2 (both 150 MW), and Posey (300 MW). The 250 MW Citadel project will be located outside of Reno, Nevada and the 232 MW Townsite plant will be in Boulder City, Nevada. NEXTracker said that it has surpassed 50 GW in total global tracker shipments, a capacity e quivalent to the peak electricity demand of California. The company is the first solar tracker hardware and software provider to reach this benchmark. The company credits the sales feat to its internal focus on improving financial returns for owners of solar projects. arevonenergy.com

Two 2MW diesel gensets for the Punta Catalina Station
The Punta Catalina plant, also known as the Hatillo power station, is a 752-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Punta Catalina-Hatillo, Azua, Dominican Republic. It has suffered financial scandals, construction delays and now environmental protests. However, things are looking brighter for the facility now that Margen has delivered two generators, each with a 2 MW capacity, reports APN.
A
spokesman for MARGEN of Marinello, Italy, commented: "We have just completed the overhaul of a plant at the Punta Catalina Thermoelectric Power Station in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, consisting of two generators of 2 Megawatts each, featuring the dummyload system. The load bank allows the efficient operation of the station serving the emergency startup of the power station's turbine." Two 2MW diesel generators will now be key to maintaining the ongoing power supplies at the Punta Catalina thermoelectric power station. Today, Punta Catalina power station is the Dominican Republic's largest coal-fired power plant and leading electricity provider,
accounting for 30% of the country's generating capacity. The US$2 billion Punta Catalina project was designed to include two identical coal-fired units and a co al terminal with a capacity of 80,000 tonnes. A groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of unit 1 was held as long ago as December 2013. Engineering, procurement and construction services for the new plant were to be provided by Maire Tecnimont SpA, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht S.A and Ingenieria Estrella SRL. In January 2015, CDEEE announced that construction was 19% complete. In May 2015, CDEEE's E xecutive Vice President Rubén Jiménez Bichara said the plant would begin operating in the first quarter of 2017.
"We have just completed the overhaul of a plant at the Punta Catalina Power Station in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, consisting of two generators of 2 Megawatts each, featuring the dummyload system.”
However, as of February 2017, construction was still only 72% complete, and completion of Units 1 and 2 had respectively been rescheduled for February 2018 and May 2018 due to financing issues. In February 2019, Unit 1 began test operations, and both units were scheduled to be operating by May 2 019. In October 2019, test operations were still proceeding, and the plant was scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2019. On March 18, 2020, one of the two 376-MW units was reportedly operating. An inauguration ceremony for both units had been scheduled for the day before but was cancelled due to restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. Unit 1 was taken offlin e on April 15, 2020 due to a hydrogen leak but was returned to service after two weeks. Unit 2 was commissioned on May 1st, 2020. The Dominican government, citing unfavorable conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, announced that their plan to sell a 50% stake in the plant would be put on hold until after presidential elections scheduled for July 2020. In January 2021, Unit 2 went offline tempora rily due to boiler damage.In early February 2021 CDEEE announced they would be accepting letters of interest through the end of March 2021 for bidders to operate and maintain the plant. In September 2021, President Abenader announced the established of a decree (53821) for the public trust, management, investment, and operation of the Central Termoeléctrica Punta Catalina Public Trust (CTPC Trust). www.ma rgen.it
