Page 10 California Governor Gavin Newsom has called the state’s widespread electricity shutdown triggered by a power company to prevent wildfires - “unacceptable”, as gale-force winds and dry weather posed a critical fire threat to the north of California Pacific Gas and Electric Co (PG&E) imposed unprecedented shut-offs which left more than 730,000 homes and workplaces in northern California without power on the second day of planned outages. By Day 3 power had been restored to more than half of those who had lost it, PG&E officials said in a release. However, about 312,000 electric customers remained without power, officials said. Some of the state’s most devastating wildfires were sparked in recent years by damage to electrical transmission lines from high winds, with flames then spreading through tinder-dry vegetation to populated areas. Newsom told news reporters that he did not fault the utility for shutting off electricity as a safety measure, but he described the outage as too broad and said it resulted from years of

mismanagement by the utility. “We’re seeing a scale and scope of something that no state in the 21st century should experience,” Newsom commented. “What’s happened is unacceptable and it’s happened because of neglect.” The remarks were the most pointed comments Newsom has directed at PG&E since the outages began early on October 9th. Among the questions he raised was whether the utility was too large, with a service area covering more than 40 counties. PG&E filed for bankruptcy in January 2019, citing potential civil liabilities in excess of $30 billion from major wildfires linked to its transmission wires.

PG&E Chief Executive Bill Johnson acknowledged that his company had left “millions of people” without a “fundamental service” they expect and deserve. As high winds moved south, a similar cut-off is underway by neighboring utility Southern California Edison, which warned that more than 173,000 customers could lose power in parts of eight counties, including Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura. PG&E, California’s biggest investor-owned utility, has said that power would be restored to specific areas once up to 77 mph (124 kph) winds die down and 2,500 miles (4,025 km) of transmission lines could be inspected.

BRUSH is awarded Gulf of Mexico FPSO order BRUSH has successfully won an order to supply three DAX 71-193ERH generators for a floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) project set to operate in the Gulf of Mexico. The project outputs required compliance with all major international standards, very high offshore operation specifications and the marine certifying authority. The award came despite very strong competition and within a brief cycle time between tendering and order. The project requires the supply of generators, line and neutral cubicles, control panels. Acceptance test will be delivered during 2019 and early 2020. Once running, the FPSO will be capable of processing just less than 100,000 barrels of crude oil, over 70 million cubic feet of gas, between 120,000 to 130,000 barrels of water injection per day and have a storage capacity of just less than 1 million barrels of crude oil. It will be deployed off the coast of Mexico at a water depth of less than 40 metres. Earlier this year - in April 2019 - Hawker Siddeley Switchgear, a member of the BRUSH group, re-branded to become BRUSH Switchgear. The integrated BRUSH companies operate as ‘One Brush’ with competency centers for 2Pole & 4-Pole generators, power management and control systems, transformers, switchgear, and OEM services. BRUSH serves the global power generation and distribution markets with a strong foundation of technical knowledge to support grassroots projects, capacity expansions, and drop-inreplacements.

EPN EVENT DIARY DIARY POWERGEN International 19th-21st Nov 2019 Order for six C65 microturbines for a critical flare gas pilot project California-based Capstone Turbine Corporation has won an initial order for six C65 microturbines for a critical flare gas pilot project in France.

Microturbine Power (MTP), one of Capstone's exclusive European distributors, secured the initial project, which is set to be commissioned by January 2020. The six microturbine array will provide on-site power for one of Europe's largest energy producers, utilizing the associated gas generated by one of the firm's Electrical Submersible Pump's (ESP) located at the wellhead. The microturbines will utilize the indigenous free waste fuel to reduce the purchased power from the local utility. "We are beginning to see an increase in oil and gas producers looking to voluntarily reduce the unnecessary and wasteful flaring of associated gas and realize the value of our microturbine technology in these applications," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone.

California makes energy history with battery storage and gas turbine hybrid installation GE Power Services business, together with Southern California Edison (SCE), in collaboration with Wellhead Power Solutions, LLC, recently installed the world’s first battery storage and gas turbine hybrid. The goal: to quell concerns around changing regulations and grid requirements following California’s Aliso Canyon energy emergency. The project will reinforce California’s grid, resulting in increased renewable energy and fuel savings. SCE, a utility that provides more than 15 million people with power, has won six awards for the project, including two for innovation, one for clean air, and even one from Power Engineering for Best Overall Project. “GE’s new LM6000 Hybrid EGT product fits well with SCE's objective of providing cost–effective, innovative solutions that enhance grid reliability, flexibility, and fast response to our customers,” comments Phil Herrington, vice president of Generation for SCE. As part of the project, GE installed a 10 MW battery energy storage system in the LM6000 Hybrid EGT followed by gas turbine controls upgrades to integrate the two systems. SCE estimates that the systems will reduce emissions by 60%. Additionally, the Hybrid EGT’s fast-start capabilities mean that it can produce spinning reserve power, making it even more valuable for SCE. SCE’s Vibhu Kaushik said: “Renewable and energy storage provide the perfect combination where you can harness renewable energy and match the supply to how the demand is shaped on the grid.”

When paired with AMMPS, the tactical energy storage unit helps further reduce the need for fuel, further reduces costs and most importantly it significantly increases the safety of troops in combat; because fewer fuel transport runs are required and the operation of the generators are quieter. The AMMPS units launched in 2018 for the U.S. military are 21% more fuel efficient, 35% quieter, and 40% more reliable than the previous fleet of Tactical Quiet Generators (TQGs). Today, there are approximately 21,000 Cummins AMMPS units being used in Afghanistan, Africa, South Korea and the continental United States. The batteries used on the Tactical Energy Storage Unit are designed for mobile outdoor applications with an IP66-rated enclosure, ensuring greater durability across a range of extreme environmental conditions. A 3-phase 60-kilowatt bidirectional inverter is also embedded, enabling the system to convert the energy stored in the batteries, producing higher power quality. The unit is designed to seamlessly connect the Battery Management System (BMS), Inverter Control System and the Unit Control System so it is ready to pick up the load when the demand cannot be met by the gensets. Through a smooth transition, the Tactical Energy Storage Unit reduces the frequency and magnitude of voltage disturbances.

he DDG-1000 Zumwalt is not just the latest addition to the US Navy’s fleet, it’s the first in a revolutionary new class of next- generation warships. These aren’t simply improved versions of existing destroyers, but true game-changers in the history of naval warfare. Or in the words of Admiral Harry B. Harris, commander of the US Pacific Command, “If Batman had a ship, it would be the USS Zumwalt.” Controversial in cost (US$7.8 billion each), armament and assigned purpose, the Zumwalts are now being retasked by the U.S. Navy into ‘assassins of the sea’, killing enemy ships while staying hidden themselves. The destroyers were also built with an innovative power system. Onboard the Zumwalt are two Main Turbine Generator Sets (MTGs) and two RR4500 Auxiliary Turbine Generator Sets (ATGs) providing 78 MW for total ship power - the MTGs provide 35.4 MW each and the ATGs 3.8 MW each. The Integrated Power System (IPS) is being provided by two Rolls-Royce MT-30 main turbine generators. Each delivers 34.5 MWs of power. The ships are also equipped with two Rolls Royce RR4500 auxiliary turbine generators capable of providing 3.9MW. In total, the IPS provides up to 78MWs of electricity, enough to power 50,700 average homes. The ship currently uses this power to operate weapons, sensors, propulsion, the ship-wide computer system, and life support systems. There’s enough electricity to spare to power energy-intensive electromagnetic railguns and laser systems which will be added in future refits. The MT30 is the most ‘power-dense’ marine gas turbine in the world and has been selected to power the most modern and advanced vessels in the US Navy, including the Freedom Class Littoral Combat Ship, as well as with the UK Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers, the innovative Type 26 Global Combat Ship, and the Republic of Korea Navy’s FFX Batch II frigate. The US Navy plans to equip the Zumwalts with the most powerful lasers ever put to sea. Although not powerful enough to sink ships like China’s Type 055 guided missile cruiser, a 150kilowatt laser could be used against small attack boats, unmanned aerial vehicles, and seaskimming anti-ship missiles. Unlike ship-based guns and missiles, the electrical power required to fire a laser is on the order of a few dollars per shot, making them inexpensive to shoot. While other weapons require physical space onboard the ship to store ammunition, the “ammo” supply for lasers is limited only by onboard electrical power and the fuel which drives the turbines. The Navy originally planned to build 32 Zumwalt-class destroyers but delays and escalating development costs forced the Navy to cut that number to seven ships, then ultimately just three: Elmo Zumwalt, Michael Monsoor, and Lyndon B. Johnson. The Zumwalt program has cost US$23 billion to date. Each ship cost an average of US $7.8 billion each, or half the cost of an aircraft carrier. The destroyers are now tasked to carry Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST), the latest version of the Tomahawk land attack cruise missile.

Himoinsa Power Systems Inc has implemented a new paint primer process which it is applying to all its canopies. This new process includes a preliminary treatment of the metal that guarantees the elimination of any existing impurities and applies a double coat of paint on the metal surface of the canopy, thereby giving it greater protection. This salt spray test simulates the full effects of metal deterioration in environments of extreme salinity

and humidity. The new primer system applied to all HIMOINSA canopies makes them ‘best-in-class' in the international market. The saline spray test simulates the effects of metal deterioration in environments of extreme salinity and humidity. The new system introduced by HIMOINSA means that the high quality sheet metal of its canopies, which is subjected to high humidity and aggressive industrial environments, can resist the

effects of a 2,000-hour salt spray test. Similarly, a new electrostatic dust coating is applied in a new painting tunnel installed in HIMOINSA's production centres, with the aim of extending canopy life. The international standard 12944, which specifically regulates the measurement and categorisation of corrosion levels on metal surfaces protected by paint systems considers C5I-H to be the highest category (1440 hr - more than 15 years). HIMOINSA has, in fact, exceeded these limits by reaching 2,000 hours, i.e. 560 hours above the maximum required.

DOMINION TO DEVELOP A UTILITYSCALE BATTERY STORAGE FACILITY D

ominion Energy Virginia has announced that it will spend around $33 million building four electric power battery storage projects at three sites in central Virginia. The pilot projects, totaling 16 megawatts, would be the utility’s first use of battery storage technology. Dominion executives said that the projects will test different applications for battery storage, which is increasingly seen as a way to improve the resiliency of the electrical grid and better integrate renewables such as wind and solar. The pilot projects are required under a 2018 overhaul of the state’s electric utility regulation. Dominion has already submitted an application with state regulators. If approved, the projects are expected to be operational in December 2020 and then would be evaluated over five years. The largest project is a two-battery system totaling 12 megawatts that will be installed at a solar facility in Powhatan County. It’s intended to both optimize the power produced at the facility and store energy. “For instance, during the middle of the day when solar generation is reasonably high we could store it at that point, and we could release it, say, late in day when our peak load is occurring,” comments Mark Mitchell, vice president of generation construction. “You’re kind of shifting the energy around.” The other projects are a two-megawatt battery at a substation in Ashland and a two-megawatt battery at a substation in New Kent County. In part, they will test how batteries could help reduce wear and tear on equipment and save money. Dominion says it expects storage to be an important facet of expanding the amount of energy it generates from renewable sources. The company has committed to having 3,000 megawatts of solar and wind in operation or under development in Virginia by 2022. Dominion agreed to boost that figure as part of the 2018 utility overhaul bill. That legislation also gave the company new flexibility in accounting for costs that virtually guarantee its rates can’t go down, even if regulators find that it’s earning excessive profits. Nationwide, the number of large-scale battery storage projects has increased substantially in recent years. A July report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration found operating utility-scale battery storage power capacity had more than quadrupled from 214 megawatts at the end of 2014 to 899 megawatts in March of this year. Capacity could exceed 2,500 megawatts by 2023, the EIA estimated. Dr. Venkat Srinivasan, with the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, said there’s been a dramatic reduction in cost for battery technologies in the past five to seven years, as well as a growing sense that cost-effective energy storage will be crucial for the future of the electrical grid. Utilities often start with battery pilot projects and realize as the projects mature that they make financial sense, said Srinivasan, who is deputy director for research at the center, a partnership of national laboratories, universities and companies funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. 8

Bloom Energy and California Bioenergy LLC (CalBio), have announced a collaboration to deploy the companies’ commercial solution for the conversion of dairy waste into renewable electricity without combustion. CalBio’s dairy digester technology with Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cell technology delivers an end-to-end solution for the capture of methane and generation of renewable

electricity. The solution has been designed so that the electricity will power electric vehicles (EVs) throughout California. In integrating these proven technologies, the two companies have created the world’s first commercial solution to generate non-combusted electricity from dairy waste to power EVs. Most California dairies are planning to install digesters to capture biogas from their cow manure.

Biogas captured from cow manure contains approximately 65%methane, which has a 25 times greater impact on global warming than CO2 emissions and accounts for 10% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, but is also a useful, renewable fuel. The CalBio-Bloom Energy solution not only produces clean electricity, it also removes methane which would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere. CalBio digesters capture biogas, primarily consisting of methane, released from the anaerobic decomposition of dairy manure. CalBio’s technology also separates hydrogen sulfide from the biogas. The biogas is then converted to renewable electricity in a Bloom Energy Server through an electrochemical process. The Bloom Energy Server is the world’s most efficient electricity generator. It produces 2X as much electricity as conventional combustion gensets using the same biogas.

TIDAL ENERGY ARRAY PROPOSED FOR THE BAY OF FUNDY AREA IN NOVA SCOTIA

ova Innovation has applied to develop a tidal energy array in Petit Passage, in the Bay of Fundy area of Nova Scotia. The project will use Nova’s 100kW turbines which have been operating in Scotland for over three years. The smaller turbines differ in scale to the large turbines proposed in other tidal projects - they reduce engineering, financial and environmental risk, and are better matched to produce value for the strong local supply chain located in Nova Scotia. The carefully phased plan will see the first device deployed in 2020 and operated to build understanding and confidence of performance and environmental effects. The operation and monitoring will be undertaken in consultation with public and statutory consultees, before proceeding with subsequent phases of the project. The plans will see Nova build its world-leading technology in Nova Scotia creating new green jobs and establishing Nova’s North American manufacturing centre in the province. It will also reinforce the region’s reputation as a world leading centre in the development of tidal energy, as governments and international bodies strive for cleaner, greener ways to produce energy. In 2016, Nova successfully delivered the world’s first offshore tidal array at its site in Shetland, Scotland. In 2018, Nova worked with Tesla to add energy storage to its tidal technology. This created the world’s first baseload tidal power station with the ability to deliver constant, steady-state power and deliver energy on demand to meet consumer needs. Simon Forrest, CEO at Nova Innovation said: "We have been working for a number of years towards developing a tidal energy project in Nova Scotia. If approved, this project will help place Nova Scotia at the forefront of the industry, positioning the province as a global leader and centre of excellence in tidal energy. In addition, the region will benefit from the creation of skilled jobs with Nova and in the wider supply chain. Nova has a strong track record in collaboration and successful project delivery and we look forward to working with stakeholders to deliver this exciting project.” OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2019 AMERICAN POwER NEwS

P80 alternators for Colombia’s onshore project

P80 alternator.

IGSA Mexico speciﬁed P80 alternators which have now been installed in engines used in a 2.5MW generator set which meets the highest quality standards in a demanding application in Latin America. This year IGSA has supplied the two generator sets through its local distributor, Antonio Spath Co., to one of the largest oil & gas multinational companies in Colombia, reports APN.

ne of the most important oil & gas sites in Colombia currently relies on an arrangement of four generator sets which deliver 9MW of continuous power to a crude oil extraction site. The alternators speciﬁed were low voltage variants of the STAMFORD® P80 range. Two of these were supplied, ﬁtted with anticondensation heaters, plus droop current transformers, to support parallel operation. The STAMFORD al ternators were paired with Cummins G-Drive QSK78 G7 engines. One of the clear successes of the project was the fact that IGSA, Cummins Generator Technologies and the G-Drive team were able to work very closely together. “The main challenge was to work as a team to deliver the promised dates to the end user,” says Humberto Lira, STAMFORD | AvK Sales Manager - Mexico & Central America. “Our customer service an d technical team offered excellent support to the IGSA team to

keep the project on track and delivery on time.” The great co-operation and co-ordination between Cummins Generator Technologies and the Cummins Engine business greatly impressed IGSA. As a longstanding customer, IGSA knew it could rely on the quality and durability of STAMFORD alternators for its customer. “We can trust in Cummins to work with u s on complex projects requiring short lead times, reliable equipment, technical support and teamwork. We are sure we will be very successful together in the future and I am glad to work with Cummins,” commented Gerardo Tunales, Commercial Director, IGSA. The STAMFORD® P80 series is widelyregarded as an industry-leading range of Low, Medium and High Voltage alternator products which offer a power output of up to 5,190kVA. Thanks to its adaptability and versatility the P80 has become the global alternator of

choice in many applications requiring a durable and robust 4-pole product, whilst maintaining cost competitiveness, in applications such as data centres, Combined Heat and Power, Prime Power and critical standby power applications. The 4-pole STAMFORD® P80 series offers a kVA Range of 1920-5100, a Voltage R ange of 380-13800 and Frequency of 50/60Hz. The unit features 50Hz Continuous (kVA): 4200.00; 60Hz Continuous (kVA) : 5100.00 and a Low/Medium/High voltage designation. The Voltage Range is 380-13800, while the AVR: DM110 with a 2/3 Winding Pitch. Options which come with the P80 include Ingress Protection: IP23 H/F Material Insulation Class and a PMG Excitation System. IP23 Air Filters, Thermistors and Anti- Condensation Heaters can be supplied, along with a Single Bearing Arrangement. A traditional generator set will achieve on average a 50% efficiency rating, whereas combined heat and power generators can hit peak efficiency at nearer 75% (an alternator typically hits 90% or higher in efficiency). STAMFORD® and AvK® industrial alternators are fully capable of working in a combined heat and power environment i n order to achieve prime rating results. There are a number of key applications suitable for a combined heat and power (CHP) environment. These include generators operating in colder climates, supermarket retailers, temperature monitoring applications, hospitals and biogas installations, among others. www.stamford-avk.com

CG132B-12 generator set for MacAllister Machinery Company A year ago MacAllister Machinery Co., Indiana’s longtime Cat® dealer, acquired a new headquarters facility for itself in Indianapolis, on the southeast side. The new facility introduces a new concept at MacAllister Machinery combining its light and heavy equipment rentals, power systems, parts and retail operations in one retail centre.

n 2018, Indiana’s longtime Cat® dealer, MacAllister Machinery Co., moved into a new headquarters facility on the southeast side of Indianapolis. The new facility has 360,000 sq. ft. under roof and is situated on a 132-acre site in Indianapolis, just west of I-465 at the I-74 Southeastern Ave. exit. The design harkens back to the American Arts and Crafts style combined with elements of Mission Style from the early 20th century. The main lobby pays homage to the past with historical placards and a ﬂoor constructed of pine wood blocks based on the original Caterpillar factory ﬂoor in Peoria. Adding to the sense of history, a rustic Cat D7 Dozer circa 1957 looms just steps away from the main reception desk. The new facility introduces a new concept at MacAllister Machinery - locating its parts, light and hea vy equipment rentals, power systems, and retail operations in a 12,490 sq. ft. retail centre - making it the only Cat dealer in the world with this type of setup. Historically, power rates in Indiana have been among the cheapest in the country,

which helped support a large industrial manufacturing base. However, due to changes in demands on the power generation sector, delayed construction of new transm ission lines and deferred maintenance on existing lines, the state now ranks 32nd in the cost of electricity compared to its former rank as the ﬁfth cheapest, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. “For a state like Indiana that has a lot of heavy industry, these facilities use a lot of electricity, and they’re hurting right now,” says Chris Cummings, who works in business development fo r advanced energy at MacAllister Power Systems. “They’re looking for ways to mitigate those higher costs that are being put on them from electric companies, which include high peak demand charges.” He explains: “Customers frequently approach us looking for an alternative to accepting continued increases in utility costs. Our solutions for these customers not only reduce energy and demand costs, they can also integrate a solution using waste heat to

For companies wanting to improve their environmental footprint, this can be a cost-effective way to reduce net carbon emissions.” As part of its new headquarters, MacAllister opted to produce its own onsite power with the installation of a Cat CG132B12 generator set fuelled by natural gas that runs continuously, providing up to 600 kW of ele ctric power and one million BTUs of thermal energy to the facility. The heat provides supplemental space heating for the ofﬁce and retail areas. Including heat recovery, MacAllister’s

GENSETS cogeneration system operates up to 70% total efﬁciency. The generator and CHP system are designed for maximum uptime. The system has built-in intelligence which decides when to turn on and at what level to respond to electrical and heat loads, says Cummings who was the driving force behind the decision to install the generator. For MacAllister Power Systems, it’s a matter of educating the market and potent ial players in the industry that an investment such as the one powering the dealership can save them substantial money versus the traditional method of plugging in directly to their local electrical provider. “Many times, distributed generation is seen as a non-core use of capital in a customer’s business, so they’re spending money on assets that generate revenue and sometimes overlooking the assets and inv estments that might save them money over the long-term,” Chris Cummings says. “The operating experience we have with our Cat Natural Gas unit will help us educate them that this is a good use of capital.” Beginning in January 2nd 2019, when the generator set began operation, it ran for 2,000 hours without shutting down until it was due for scheduled preventive maintenance, Cummings said. Savings for the coge neration system can be up to US$120,000 per year - a figure which is calculated by adding the anticipated electrical savings plus the fuel that would be used for heating, minus the cost of natural gas to run the generator and regular maintenance. The payback on the Cat genset is about ﬁve to seven years depending on the direction electric rates take, Cummings says. In addition to energy savings, the generat or set serves as an onsite demonstration tool for MacAllister. The CG132B-12 is a leadingedge Caterpillar unit for the new B series, which features a more robust and advanced

engine and a new Total Plant and Energy Management (TPEM) system controller. MacAllister has worked closely with the Caterpillar new product introduction teams to make this innovative new product a success. “Installing this solution at our facility puts us ahead of the game,” Cummings says. “While our payback on the system is good, many other heavy users of power and heat would see an even better return on investment.” MacAllister Machinery has a long history of

providing the equipment which builds the infrastructure that drives Indiana’s economy. “We’ve sold a broad range of power generation solutions, from very large factories to sma ll craft breweries,” says company principal Chris MacAllister, who assumed the leadership role of the dealership in 1991 when he took over from his dad. “The fact that we have one onsite here helps show customers how well the product works. “We can show customers how it saves us money, and could do the same thing for them,” MacAllister says. “It’s nice to practice what you preach and have an installation tha t customers can come and see and consider for their operation.” cat.com/powergeneration 13

DATA CENTERS

Ten Gemini generators & two 1.5 MW diesel-fueled gensets at C7 Data Centers C7 Data Centers, Inc. is a privately-held operator and provider of multiple data centers and associated services, founded nearly 20 years ago. Their four data centers located in Bluffdale, Utah, span 127,000 square feet of ﬂoor space. Today, the company’s business is protected by a Modular Power System (MPS) from Generac Industrial Power.

n all, ten 1 MW Gemini® units and two 1.5 MW diesel-fueled gensets provide 13MW MPS for C7’s data center and office complex in Bluffdale, Utah. As a multi-tier data center, reliability and redundancy were crucial. Beyond disaster protection, a backup generator’s role to provide power is important when utility providers consider rolling blackouts and brownouts and data center operators see reduced utility se rvice reliability. “We can provide a better engineered solution for the data centers than other companies can,” said Curt Gibson, power solutions manager, Generac Industrial Power. “The benefit is to have multiple generators paralleled so if anything went wrong with anyone of them we would have a backup.” Working with Salt Lake City engineering firm Hunt Electric, the company EMC (Energy Management Corporatio n) was contracted to install a Modular Power System (MPS) with Gemini® units from Generac Industrial Power for C7’s Granite Point I colocation data center. Each diesel-fueled

Gemini unit features two 500 kW generator sets configured in parallel within a single spacesaving enclosure for a total capacity of 1 MW. In 2016, C7 invested in seven more Gemini units for the company’s flagship Granite II facility, al so in Bluffdale. EMC installed and commissioned these units, and later that year installed an additional three Gemini systems for a total of 10 MW for C7. Then in 2017, The Energy Management Corporation provided backup power to C7’s newest data center. That system is also an MPS configuration, but does not feature Gemini units. Instead, two 1500 kW diesel-fueled Generac Industrial Power gensets provide 3 M W of power, with room for expansion to 6 MW. “C7 Data Centers has aggressive business plans, and they fill their capacity very rapidly,” said Dave Petersen, division manager, Major Projects and Engineering Services Group at Energy Management Corporation (EMC). “This means that C7 Data Centers not only require a backup power system which is

reliable and redundant, but also one which is ﬂexible. The MPS system from Generac Industrial Power provides all of that for it.” Other factors contributing to the ongoing relationship included the scalability of the MPS system, which allows C7 to increase backup capacity as it adds clients. The MPS solution also gives the company the ﬂexibility to service individual nodes within the system without affecting their backup power needs. Overall, C7 said that the Generac Indust rial Power solutions implemented by EMC were the most cost-effective of all those the company considered. C7 said they have been pleased with the solution, support and service they received and will continue to support their decision to use Generac and EMC in the future. www.generac.com

48/60 and 51/60DF engines notch up 1 million running hours 18V48/60

A total of 43 MAN engines – housed at four different EDF PEI (EDF Production Électrique Insulaire) power plants – reached a symbolic milestone earlier in 2019, surpassing one million hours’ running time. MAN Energy Solutions previously built the four power plants between June 2012 and April 2015 for French electric-utility company, EDF PEI, on the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, and Reunion in the Indian Ocean and in Corsica.

ach plant on the first three islands is powered by 12 × MAN 18V48/60 engines with a total power output of 220 MW, while the Corsican plant runs 7 × MAN 18V51/60 dual-fuel engines, which can also operate using natural gas. The power plants have since collectively delivered more than 16 TWh of electrical energy, whilst meeting strict local requirements governing safety, fuel consumption, sound emissions an d ELV (Emission Level Value) . Frédéric Maillard, President of EDF PEI, said: "The engines have hit the one-millionhours mark in running time, confirming our contribution to the supply and demand balance for the territories where we are present. A fine success." Dr. Hermann Kröger, Head of Power Plants Business at MAN Energy Solutions, said: “Our insular power plants for EDF have achieved a technical an d environmental

standard that is seldom seen in the field of engines-power stations. We are proud to look back on this extremely demanding project and are happy to have delivered the high quality our customer EDF PEI has expected.” EDF PEI has also entrusted most of maintenances operations to MAN Energy Solutions that, to date, has already carried out 80 planned inspections. This scheduled, preventive-mai ntenance programme provides a very high level of availability and reliability of the production units . The MAN 18V48/60 engine is described as being economical and environmentallyfriendly. The 48/60 is said to be a prime mover in the truest sense. With an electrical genset output range of 12,411 kW to 18,654 kW, this reliable, highoutput engine is the four-stroke heart of medium and large engine-based plants all over the world.

“The engines have hit the one-millionhours mark in running time, confirming our contribution to the supply and demand balance for the territories where we are present. A fine success." - Frédéric Maillard, President of EDF PEI

18V51/60

The 48/60 engine is capable of continuous operation on heavy oil in an output range of 20% to 100%. For brief periods, it can even operate below 20%. For engines driving a generator, a 10% overload is allowed for a brief period for governing purposes (e.g. a suddenly applied load) to prevent a frequency drop.) It’s economical, environmentally-friendly and has an output range from 2 0 to 100%. The 51/60DF engine from MAN Energy Solutions is a dual fuel engine that converts liquid fuel (diesel operation) or natural gas into electrical power efficiently and with low emissions. The engine is able to switch smoothly and seamlessly from gas to liquid fuel operation (and vice versa) at full load without any output and speed fluctuations. This feature makes it possible to use the engine in ma ny different applications with a variety of fuels. The engine delivers maximum output combined with maximum flexibility and reliability. The 51/60DF supplies an electrical genset output range of 6,769 kW up to 20,431 kW. - Direct benefits include: - Low emission profile - Fuel flexibility: our dual fuel power plants run on gas or liquid fuels - Smooth switching from gas to liquid fuel operation - Broad power o utput range - High and stable ratings in hot and high locations. www.man-es.com

Series 4000 G73 generator sets power natural gas drilling operations in US An exploration project by the Unit Drilling Company in Granite Wash Oil Field, Oklahoma, required a number of onsite generators to power its operations. The company subsequently bought 18 MTU Series 4000 G73 generator sets, each incorporating the latest version of MTU’s 12V Series 4000 Tier 2-compliant engines, reports APN.

he Unit Drilling Company is one of the operations utilizing new drilling and hydrofracturing techniques which are helping drive America’s new energy boom. Thanks to recent advances in horizontal drilling and hydrofracturing techniques, the country is experiencing a reversal of energy fortunes, and seems suddenly awash with liquid natural gas and oil extracted from shale, sandstone and other underground ro ck formations. One such shale reserve rests 180 miles west of Oklahoma City: the Granite Wash Oil Field, a 160-mile-by-30-mile section of land rich in natural gas. At the site, you’ll ﬁnd Rig 306 of the Unit Drilling Company operating around the clock. The 172-foot Rig 306 performs directional drilling and hydrofracturing to optimize well production. Directional or horizontal drilling has been in use for mor e than 50 years. But it only recently became widely practical and costeffective with the integration of more reliable steerable motors, semi-continuous underground surveying and diesel-powered electrical drilling packages capable of delivering the combination of torque, horsepower, reliability and ﬁeld-serviceability the drilling

technique requires. Mike Almond, Unit Drilling’s corporate maintenance m anager, explains, “Oil plays are shallow and ﬂat, but gas plays are deep and tougher to drill, and require the kind of power that the MTU engines deliver. ” Unit owns 18 new MTU Series 4000 G73 generator sets, each incorporating the latest version of MTU’s 12V Series 4000 Tier 2-compliant engines. The engines can generate up to 1,105 kilowatts of electricity, enough to provide drilling and standby power fo r drilling operations to depths in excess of 20,000 feet - more than enough for Granite Wash. “Even though the engines only have about 4,000 hours on them now, we have no doubts about their durability in our ﬂeet,” Almond says. Rig 306 manager James Hinnenkamp says: “The MTU engines don’t care what we’re drilling. We’re going straight down about two miles and when we can’t push any further, hanging a right. We’ll be down about 12,000 feet and it’ll take us about three to four days to make that turn, and then drill another 5,000 feet. As far as the MTU engines go, so far, so good.” Over his 32 years in drilling, Hinnenkamp has witnessed the tumultuous evolution of

“The MTUs are working ﬁne. They’re powerful, and (MTU distributor) United Engines gives us great support when we need it.” - James Hinnenkamp, Unit Drilling Company

the oil business and the steady progress of the equipment used to get oil and gas out of the ground. He says: “It’s early yet, but the MTUs are work ing ﬁne. They’re powerful, and (MTU distributor) United Engines gives us great support when we need it.” That’s no small praise from Hinnenkamp, who confesses to being “old fashioned” in his preference for the simpler, albeit more labor-intensive drilling gear from days gone by. MTU generator sets are widely regarded as being durable and easy to maintain, in addition to being fuel-efﬁcient and outright powe rful, enabling Rig 306 to proceed with its planned drilling program. The generator sets must have the power to perform as expected with no questions asked, no matter how demanding the work. Engineered for solid, steady performance, MTU generator sets are more than ready, reports the company. www.mtu-online.com

150kVA generator sold to Barbados

YorPower recently provided a new 150kVA Perkins diesel generator to a distributor of YorPower diesel generators based in Barbados, a stone’s throw from Maxwell beach. Currently the leading provider of generators in Barbados and the Caribbean, this company’s values align perfectly with those of YorPower in striving to ‘provide innovative, power and automation solutions, with unsurpassed customer service’, reports APN.

arbados is an island in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, in the Caribbean region. It has a population of around 278,000 and is 34kms (21 miles) in length and up to 23 km (14 miles) in width, covering an area of 432 km2 (167 square miles). Much of Barbados enjoys a tropical monsoon climate. Here, diesel generators are essential due to the unpredictability of the environment with the common ocurrenc e of hurricanes, earthquakes and landslides. The Caribbean region has already faced two of the worst hurricanes this century: in 2017 with Irma and Maria affecting 12 of the 32 Caribbean countries. The effect on local power grids was devastating. Diesel is a primary choice in this region of the world due to its efficiency, price and ease of transport. Although some Caribbean islands are opting for renew able energy and are currently experimenting with different microgrids, the role of fossil fuels is still dominant and is regarded as being much more economical. Power grids in this region are constantly under threat to due to their geographical positioning, regardless of the resources used

to power them. Diesel generators provide a sense of security in such regions to both business and homes. The winds, f looding and lightning which are part and parcel of hurricanes, can cause mass power failures with lasting negative consequences for the domestic and commercial areas. The subsequent loss of electricity after hurricanes is both expensive and dangerous. Recent statistics indicate that the number of hurricanes is on the rise - bad news for business. Bear in mind the daily value of business which relies upon electricity (internet, phonelines, financial data, desktops), combined with assets potentially damaged in an outage (stock, machinery, overseas clients). If you then add the additional costs of rebooting systems the total revenue lost from just one day of power outage could redefine a company’s future. The genset model supplied by YorPower was the YXP150RSC. This compact and robust Perkins 150 kVA genera tor from YorPower features a high-quality assembly enclosure with strong steel plate providing stiffness, rigidity and low vibration transfer. Powder-coated paintwork minimises

corrosion and increases the genset’s working life. The genset has a prime power output of 150 kVA, 120kW and a standby output of 165, 132kW at 0.8 power factor, 3 phase, 4 wire, 415/240 / 400/230 / 380/220 Volts, 50 Hz at 1500 RPM. The complete generating set is mounted in a heavy gauge steel, weatherproof and acoustic enclosure. The unit incorporates an Auto start Deep Sea Electronics (DSE) digital control panel including temperature gauges, engine protections, controls and alarms, with remote communication if required, plus an integral fuel tank with fully-bunded base protection, providing a minimum of 8-hours’ operation at full l oad. A spokesman for the company comments: "As YorPower continues to expand into new territories, we are constantly keeping a look out for buyers who have the potential to become distributors. In this tourist hotspot offering numerous upmarket resorts, there is significant and consistent demand for reliable backup power. Diesel generators are a must in order to meet the high demand for electricity in the hospitality industry, the backbone of the island’s economy.” He explains: “The Caribbean is famous for its bad weather, having suffered numerous destructive storms and devastating hurricanes over the centuries. It is no coincidence that we have more orders from this partner after the hurricane season officially began." Businesses located in the hurricane-prone areas around Central America should see gener ator backup systems as an indispensable investment. The cost of investing in a backup system is relatively low in comparison to the greater losses caused by a prolonged power outage as a result of a hurricane. Domestic use of backup generators is just as important for peace of mind in family homes with such a precarious energy grid. Regardless of the application, YorPower holds stock which can be shipped o ut quickly – this particular order to Barbados was delivered within three weeks. www.yorpower.com
