10MW UK FLEXIBLE POWER PROJECT WITH CARBON CAPTURE
Four Rolls Royce 16V engines were recently 'hot commissioned' by the National Grid at a flexible power project, RPL, with carbon capture and re-use 'CCR'.
The full testing and commissioning process took two weeks, during which time the units successfully generated power to the grid.
The first of the 16V engines was run up to speed and - after off-load testing - was synchronised to the grid and had power exported in March 2024.
The gas for the run - and the resultant electrical export - were both provided and received respectively under the commissioning arrangements, which form part of the Axpo PPA.
The 'hot commissioning' tests were carriued out successfully by Landmark Power Holdings, Yellow Power Ltd and Roll Royce mtu solutions under the supervision of
National Grid Energy Distribution (NGED). The operations of the power plant, comprising four Rolls Royce 16V engines, have now been transferred to LMPH.
The timeline for the testing and integration of the CCR element is on track to be completed during the remainder of 2024 with all key equipment, including the Asco CO2 scrubbing units and exhaust piping, now on-site and installed.
UK DATA CENTRE UPGRADE ALSO INVOLVED THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A BESPOKE ENERGY CENTRE
Whena major telecoms company sought to expand its data centre operation, it turned to Shenton Group to provide additional generators. These were installed alongside the company’s existing 19 generators and in conjunction with an Uninterruptible Power Supply system support, all within and around the construction of a new, bespoke Energy Centre.
The telecoms company had expanded its data centre operation, something which necessitated the building of a bespoke Energy Centre to house new generators. New servers needed to work in conjunction with an Uninterruptible Power Supply and backup generator support in order to ensure continuity of service in the increasingly likely event of power outages.
As the Energy Centre is situated in an urban environment, the telecoms company stipulated that the generators should have the necessary attenuation so as not to exceed sound levels of 65dBA at one metre.
Shenton Group’s Sales and Marketing Director, Curtis Meek explained the magnitude of the project and some of the factors that Shenton Group needed to consider in order to achieve a timely, problemfree delivery: “Considering the existing 19 generators, two new generators needed configuring in conjunction with an Uninterruptible Power Supply System. Therefore, the project needed to be orchestrated around the customer’s new Energy Centre building design work. Shenton Group’s installation work had to be undertaken out of hours and also whilst the building was still being constructed”.
Shenton Group successfully beat a number of competitors to win this major project. Working closely with the project’s Specifier, Shenton Group provided a complete turnkey operation including; design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning. With eight months in planning and implementation, and involving a team of 13, Shenton Group supplied two 3200kVA standby generators. Shenton Group’s Curtis Meek highlighted how Shenton Group’s planning phases consider all possible outcomes, including future expansion of clients’ businesses: “The generators have been installed on the ground floor of the Energy Centre and in separate rooms, designed so that a further two generators can be added at a future date if required.” Should the necessity arise, both generators are capable of providing prime power at 2920kVA with a 0.8 lagging power factor and with a 10% overload capability for a minimum of one hour. Shenton Group has also provided fuel tanks with sufficient capacity to enable the generators to run for eight hours at full load.
As the Energy Centre is situated in an urban environment, the telecoms company stipulated that the generators should have the necessary attenuation so that they do not exceed sound level of 65dBA at one metre. The generator rooms are therefore equipped with inlet and outlet attenuators with motorised louvers that have been sized to provide the appropriate combustion and air-cooling airflow requirements.
Remote Alfa Laval radiators had to be craned onto the roof of the new Energy Centre building to cool each generator. The radiators’ height is less than that of the surrounding louvres and they operate at noise levels of less than 65 dBA at one metre. These are connected to the generators by two cooling circuits per generator in 6 and 3 inch welded stainless steel pipework.
Further project work involved Shenton Group installing two 5000A Air Circuit Breaker Panels (ACBs). Both panels are adequately ventilated to allow continuous full load operation in the maximum ambient temperature likely to be present in the generator house during prolonged ‘on load’ runs. All internal connections within the panels are by means of 5000 Amp copper busbars, adequately spaced to allow for loadbank testing. Together, a total of 4850 metres of cable was used, equivalent to 3.2 miles. Load bank testing was carried out using 3500kVA Resistive/Reactive loadbank and all the necessary step loads and cold start tests were performed successfully.
PROVIDING STANDBY POWER TO A LEADING PRIVATE HOSPITAL IN THE UK
A backup failure at one of the UK’s leading independent healthcare providers required an immediate resolution.
A power outage in a hospital environment can be devastating. It may impact numerous services, including routine operations, complex surgeries, medical equipment and building infrastructure, all of which could compromise patient care.
In addition, the hospital also runs three specialised neurological rehabilitation residential centres, providing care for residents with complex neurological conditions. Hence the hospital needed a supplier to provide a rapid power supply to ensure they stayed online.
The client approached MEMS Power Generation to supply standby power whilst repairs were made to the hospital’s malfunctioning backup generator to reduce potential harm to the facility and its patients. MEMS has considerable experience delivering critical power to hospitals in short time frames –which was crucial to the continued running of the hospital.
The MEMS team determined that a 500kVA temporary generator would provide ample power to the London hospital should the need arise.
To ensure the temporary generator was connected, ready and waiting to deliver power when necessary, a fuel bulk tank and 125 metres of 240mm cable were all connected, installed and hooked up within 3 hours of
receiving instruction. The temporary standby generator installation was commissioned, and the hospital could continue providing its services uninterrupted.
MEMS helped the hospital stay up & running without the threat of a power outage.
The generator was in place and on standby for 14 days with 24/7 remote telemetry and fuel management support from MEMS if it had been required.
The job ran smoothly, with everything going to plan, reports the company. The hospital could run all its services, equipment, and residential centres continuouslyand safe in the knowledge that a tested temporary hire solution was in place.
The client was particularly impressed with the initial contact and quick response of the MEMS 24/7 staffed control room, as well as highlighting the company's skillset, knowledge and the exceptional work and helpfulness of the MEMS team on site.
MEMS Power Generation began in 1978 as an electrical engineering company. Since then it has grown to become one of the leading specialists in temporary power solutions, operating one of the country’s largest temporary generator rental fleets. A spokesman comments: "We are proud of our heritage as well as the fact that our customers value our commitment to high-quality service."

GREEN HYDROGEN IS AT THE HEART OF TODAY'S SUSTAINABLE DISTILLING PRACTICES
WHICH ALSO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS
Powersystems has played a pivotal role in a groundbreaking project at Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery, which aims to become the world’s first distillery powered entirely by green hydrogen. This innovative initiative marks a significant milestone in Arbikie’s mission to revolutionise sustainable distilling practices and reduce carbon emissions.
Located amidst the picturesque Angus Hills, Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery has installed a new 1 MW wind turbine as part of its commitment to sustainable energy solutions. The wind turbine provides renewable electricity that will power an electrolyser, producing green hydrogen through water electrolysis. This green hydrogen will then be utilised in a hydrogen-compatible boiler, significantly reducing the distillery’s carbon footprint and advancing its environmental goals.
Powersystems has collaborated with renewable energy specialists Locogen and Logan Energy on this transformative project. Its team has been entrusted with the Electrical Balance of Plant (EBoP) works, including system design, engineering studies, and the integration of electrical infrastructure necessary to support the wind turbine and hydrogen electrolyser.
Powersystems has the task of executing the Electrical Balance of Plant (EBoP) works for Arbikie’s groundbreaking project. Its responsibilities encompass the complete system design and engineering studies necessary for the project. Powersystems' engineering team has worked closely with civil engineering contractors to design, construct, and outfit the substation buildings with small power and lighting systems. Additionally, the company handles the installation of comprehensive earthing systems across the entire project.

"Our work includes the installation, connection, testing, and commissioning of the G99 and G100 protection systems. Throughout the project, Powersystems ensures compliance with all Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) and Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) regulations while providing robust project management and SAP duties."
The success of this ambitious project depends on seamless collaboration between diverse stakeholders, including civil engineering teams, wind turbine specialists, hydrogen electrolyser technicians, and Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN). Powersystems has played a key role in facilitating these collaborations to deliver a fully-integrated and efficient system.
Despite the complexities of co-ordinating such a multifaceted project, the timeline for Arbikie’s hydrogen-powered distillery remains ambitious yet achievable. The design and procurement phase spanned from December 2022 to May 2023, with site installation, commissioning, and testing scheduled from June to August 2024.
Powersystems’ involvement extends to the design and construction of substation buildings, installation of earthing systems, and procurement of key components such as transformers, switchgear, and LV distribution systems.
The spokesman continues: "Our expertise will ensure seamless connectivity and communication between the wind turbine, hydrogen electrolyser, and distillery, creating a fully integrated and efficient system.
"This project exemplifies Powersystems’ commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that align with our clients’ environmental objectives. By ensuring strict compliance with all HSE regulations, we provide comprehensive project management to support Arbikie’s pioneering efforts in green hydrogen technology. Arbikie’s ambitious project is part of the Green Distilleries competition, an initiative by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) that supports distilleries in cutting CO2 emissions. Having received substantial funding, Arbikie is leading the charge in sustainable distilling by implementing cuttingedge renewable energy solutions."
Iain Stirling, Director of Arbikie Highland Estate, said: “We are delighted to pioneer the use of green hydrogen in the distilling industry. As the latest custodians of our family farms and distillery, it’s very important to our family to be as sustainable as possible.”

HVO: THE ANSWER TO GENERATOR EMISSIONS REDUCTION PROBLEM
With the new Labour government determined to meet the 2050 net zero target, pledging to ‘make Britain a clean energy superpower’, the drive to adopt renewable fuel and energy sources is stronger than ever for UK businesses. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) as a fuel source has enjoyed a recent swell in popularity, with large organisations like DHL, Royal Mail, rail freight companies, and councils across the UK all adopting it as a fuel source.
London Gatwick has become the latest establishment to join the ranks, switching its 300 ground fleet vehicles from diesel to HVO, slashing carbon emissions by 90%.
But it’s not just businesses with vehicle fleets that could benefit from switching to HVO. Those who rely on diesel generators as a backup energy source could also see their CO2 emissions reduced by up to 90%, and a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
Dale Power Solutions, one of the UK’s largest suppliers of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and emergency backup generators, has developed its range with HVO use specifically in mind.
Andy Towse, Product Quotes Manager at Dale, said:
“You can use HVO in most generators in just the same way as you would use mineral diesel. You can use HVO in all our new generator ranges, but if you want to use it in your existing equipment, you just need to seek advice about fully cleaning your fuel system, pumps and engine first.
Once everything is properly prepared, there’s no difference in the experience of using this fuel,
compared with diesel. And its outstanding green credentials will help businesses get to net zero much faster.”
HVO as a greener alternative for diesel generators
Many organisations have standby generators onsite ready to make sure their critical operations continue in the case of a power cut. Those companies need a fuel source onsite to power those generators. Traditionally, this has been mineral diesel. But in recent years there’s been a gradual but steady move towards HVO.
Hailed as one of the cleanest fuels available, HVO is a renewable alternative to diesel.
Made from vegetable oils and animal fats, it’s produced through a hydrotreatment process to remove impurities.
Meeting EN15940 standards and Fuel Quality Directive 2009/30/EC Annex II, HVO represents an exciting opportunity for those businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Even though HVO is a far greener choice than sticking with fossil diesel as a fuel source, its adoption has been relatively sluggish.
The upfront cost of the fuel is higher than it is for diesel, so this might have delayed some companies in taking the leap.
But as we move to the country-wide 2050 target for net zero - not to mention the new government’s enthusiasm for environmental issues - regulations are only going to get tighter.
Plus, with HVO there is an intrinsic efficiency. Which means lower long-term maintenance and repair cost burdens. It’s likely that as demand for renewable and greener fuels continues to ramp up, HVO will become more widely available. So, it follows that the price will also start to drop.
How HVO can boost businesses’ ESG strategies
“You can use HVO in most generators in just the same way as you would use mineral diesel. You can use HVO in all our new generator ranges, but if you want to use it in your existing equipment, you just need to seek advice about fully cleaning your fuel system, pumps and engine first."
- Andy Towse, Product Quotes Manager at Dale
In a competitive market, businesses looking to stand out are focusing a lot of attention on refining their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategies.
A strong ESG strategy helps attract more customers, investment opportunities and higher calibre employees. It can enhance a company’s reputation and lead to lower long-term running costs.
A good way for organisations to fulfil the environmental aspect of their ESG strategy would be to look for ways to minimise any negative impacts their operations might have on the planet. With the drive towards drastically reducing carbon emissions, businesses are seeking to use more renewable energy sources in a bid to reduce their carbon footprint.
As a renewable fuel source, HVO use is clearly preferable to relying on fossil fuels, especially given the net zero emissions target of 2050.
Switching from diesel to HVO for backup generators can translate to a CO2 emission reduction of up to 90%, not to mention the lower levels of NOx, particulate matter and carbon monoxide released into the atmosphere.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T GET EXCITED ABOUT YOUR UPS
be spotted before they become significant problems.
If we are honest, when it comes to technology, most people like to “fit and forget”. A decade ago, standalone mono-block uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) were installed and pretty much, if they did their job, they sat in the corner and were largely forgotten about until
they reached their end of design life or there was a component failure, explains Aaron
Oddy, Sales Manager, Centiel.
The whole point was that nobody got excited about their UPS providing it continued to work and was efficient as possible. The UPS provider might have performed a preventive maintenance visit and checked its operation from time to time but essentially, it was viewed as a true fit and forget system. However, technology has moved on, and times have changed. While we still don’t want our customers to get excited (or worried) about their UPS, it can be beneficial for them to interact with the equipment a little bit more and here’s why.
Monolithic Versus Modular
Monolithic standalone UPS can be inefficient when compared with correctly configured true modular systems and they also contain multiple potential single points of failure. When they do go wrong, it can take a significant amount of time to repair them and get them back online, resulting in the critical load being on raw mains for an extended period if spare parts are not readily available.
The general trend and move to modular UPS (compared to standalone/monolithic) has
introduced far greater levels of availability and uptime, due to the removal of single points of failure and faster Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), which is great news for data centres and facilities needing to protect critical loads.
Modular UPS systems, like all essential equipment, also need regular preventative maintenance to ensure they continue to run optimally. This might include regular impedance testing of batteries or a six-monthly discharge test to ensure the UPS switches from inverter to batteries smoothly. Think of this a bit like checking oil, water and tyre pressures in your car.
The UPS will also need remedials during its life span. This is the need to change specific components before they reach their end of life which poses a risk to the critical load. Just like changing a Cam Belt in a vehicle before it hits a certain milage, the Capacitors in a UPS generally need to be replaced every 5-6 years to minimize the risk of failure.
It is also important to note that if servicing does not occur at the right time, the UPS’ warranty could be invalidated, but more importantly, any other minor issues can
“The good news is that UPS technology is more userfriendly than ever before. An easy to use and understand user interface, the intelligence built into the system and the electronic controls put in place all help to ensure that the load remains protected during any system interrogation or maintenance."
A preventative maintenance plan for your UPS will ensure these essential regular checks and repairs are completed and the system continues to run as optimally as possible.
Increased flexibility and optimal system function require interaction and engagement with the technology.
For example: Centiel’s modular UPS with safe-true-hot-swap functionality offers the option to swap modules safely within a running load, meaning such systems are far more flexible. Modules are easily changed, added or removed onsite in minutes by a trained engineer. If it is necessary to replace a module and send it for repair, no downtime is experienced, ensuring maximum availability.
Any data centre or facility with a trained first level response team will therefore have more availability and resilience across their UPS systems than those without trained personnel.
Here, education is key. First level response training for a UPS system can take just a day, or sometimes we invite clients to our factory in Switzerland so they can learn a little more about how their UPS works.
Our customers who have been trained can now complete basic monitoring and diagnostics of the UPS.
On the rare occasion a fault does occur, UPS modules can be safely swapped in less than three minutes, and the faulty module shipped back to Centiel for testing and repair.
This is much faster than waiting for an emergency engineer on a typical six-hour response time as part of a contract.
Although we still don’t want customers to get excited/worried about their UPS, we don’t want them to be afraid of it either.
First level training can increase site resilience significantly, particularly for facilities with multiple systems in addition to potentially reducing preventative maintenance contract costs too. For more information about Centiel please see www.centiel.com
GENERATORS
400KVA INDUSTRIAL DIESEL
GENERATOR FOR LONDON'S
POPULAR CASTLE PUB
Target Power Generators was contacted by an existing M&E contractor, Red Electric Designs Ltd, to help the company procure a large open-type generator which could achieve 400 kVA in prime power. The generator was an open type and needed a residential exhaust to help reduce noise levels. The customer also wanted to monitor the generator remotely, so Target Power Generators modified the system to suit client needs.
At the Castle Pub in London, the management wanted to monitor its new generator remotely so Target Power Generators fitted an 8-relay extension for the client. A 630A automatic transfer switch was also installed - like the genset itself this was manufactured to UK standards, ensuring top quality performance.
The original specification included the following: AV440 400 kVA open-type diesel generator, three-phase 415 V; 630A automatic transfer switch; Residential exhaust; 8-relay extension; DSE7320 control module; ABB 4-pole circuit breaker
This emergency standby diesel generator was designed for industrial use and its role was to power the new build pub premises should the power go off for any reason.
A company spokesman commented: "Our client chose Target Power because we offer customisable diesel generator solutions. This was the second time they used us, having previously procured a Super Silent diesel
generator for a residential application. The customer was also working within a budget and knew Target Power Generators could deliver a high-quality industrial diesel generator at the right price for them. They wanted Target Power to supply the generator and provide a FAT (factory acceptance test) and price commissioning for them as well."
The generator was being used for standby purposes, so it was of critical importance that Target Power sourced one of the most reliable engines for the project.
It chose the Volvo Penta TAD1344GE engine for the genset. The generator had to start within 10 seconds and also reach 50% step load. The Volvo engine was able to achieve this.
The spokesman added: "We had to produce an 8-hour internal tank to support the Volvo diesel generator for continuous running for 8 hours at 100% load. The tank was fully bunded, and we used high-quality anti-vibration mounts to help reduce noise levels."
He continued: "We understand that different markets require different generator builds. In the EU, our sets come with a standby kit as standard, which includes automatic mains failure (AMF) and a water jacket heater.
"Therefore, this open-type generator for The Castle Pub was manufactured to UK and EU specifications, including a 4-pole breaker, earthed neutral link, bunded base, high-grade sound insulation, and more."
“Our client chose Target Power because we offer customisable diesel generator solutions. This was the second time they used us, having previously procured a super silent diesel generator for a residential application. The customer was also working within a budget and knew Target Power Generators could deliver a high-quality industrial diesel generator."
The generator needed to be loaded onto a flatbed truck because a crane was being used to offload the generator. Target Power manufactured the base with lifting eyes capable of lifting the whole generator set.
The client allowed eight weeks to produce the set. This timeframe provided Target Power with enough time to design and manufacture the open-type diesel generator to the client's specifications. Furthermore, because the client wanted an 8-relay extension, Target Power also designed the control box to accommodate it.
With over 25 years of power generation experience, Target Power Generators Ltd has dedicated itself to providing customers with high-quality diesel generators, reliable petrol generators and exceptional service.
It is widely-regarded as a 'go-to wholesale supplier and manufacturer of power generation solutions in the UK. 'Power that hits the mark' is the company slogan.

MINSTER COURT, LONDONGENERATOR INSTALLATION
The M&E Contractor selected Regency Power Generation Ltd to design and deliver a power solution for one of the most iconic buildings in London, The Minster Building. This is an unusual neo-Gothic office building which deviated significantly from the standard rectilinear office building formula well-established in the City. Minster Court is a complex of three office buildings, completed between 1991 and 1992 ,reports UKPN.
Situated in No. 3 Minster Court, the London Underwriting Centre (LUC) is intended to run in parallel with the Underwriting Room at Lloyd’s of London, providing a facility for insurance underwriters to meet brokers at a single venue (the Lloyd’s building itself being only open to Lloyd’s syndicate underwriters).
Minster Court is a complex of three office buildings, completed between 1991 and 1992 and designed by architects GMW Partnership. The style has been described by some architectural experts as being “postmoderngothic”.
Regency Power Generation Ltd. - supplier of the site's genset - Is a key company in the UK's generator sector, delivering state-of-the-art power solutions.
The company specialises in providing robust control gear, high-performance generators, expert consulting, and comprehensive service
and support for a diverse array of projects across the residential and commercial spectrum. It has a number of clients in the capital.
A spokesman comments: "Our commitment to excellence ensures that each client receives tailored solutions designed to meet their unique power needs."
Regency was under contract to deliver and lift into position a bespoke diesel generator set at one of the apex openings on the roof, with the final position being on the rail which accommodates the window cleaning cradle. This operation was achieved in a 6-hour time window, reports Regency Power, as it was impossible to close the main road due to the location of the London underground (District Line).
Regency planned and arranged all permits, closures and crane hire in Central London as a key part of the contract.
“Regency Power Generation was contracted to deliver and lift into position a bespoke diesel generator set at one of the apex openings on the roof, with the final position being on the rail which accommodates the window cleaning cradle. This operation was achieved in a 6-hour time window."
Acoustic canopies for smaller diesel generators offer a cost-effective solution for clients, says Regency Power. Most standard products come in a canopy. Various custom options can be purchased or special custom designs can be made to order.
Regency Power offers a range of diesel generators suitable for a vast array of applications. The company is typically able to offer clients both standard specfication units and custom-built equipment which can suit almost any application or location.
In a previous contract, Regency Power was able to provide a suitable power solution for another high-profile Lonodn location.
20 Finsbury Circus is a listed building which posed many challenges for the company . Originally being positioned on the roof, the genset design had changed due to structural issues and the generator was relocated onto the basement of the building.
This move presented further challenges for the company's engineering team. Ultimately, a plant room solution was designed and provided by Regency Power. This incorporated an exhaust system solution, including an inbuilt catalytic convertor in the silencers enabling the equipment to discharge exhaust fumes safely.

£250 MILLION 100MW GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FACILITY
WILL BE BUILT IN HULL
Green hydrogen developer Meld Energy has received approval from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council in the UK to construct a £250 million, 100 MW green hydrogen production facility in Hull. The project will position the Humber area as a centre of excellence for hydrogen.
Meld Energy is now preparing to build the green hydrogen production facility at Saltend Chemicals Park, a move that will create the capacity to meet up to 30% of the park’s existing hydrogen demand.
This increase in green hydrogen production will lead to a reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions of 125 000 tonnes annually, a substantial step towards a more sustainable future.
Saltend Chemicals Park is a hub for major chemical businesses such as BP Petrochemicals, Mitsubishi Chemicals UK and Ineos.
Hydrogen can be used as a replacement for natural gas, as a fuel for various modes of transport such as buses, heavy goods vehicles, and cars or as an ingredient for clean hydrogen derived fuels.
When burned, it does not produce carbon, which makes it compatible with legislation aimed at addressing climate change. Meld’s green hydrogen will be produced through electrolysis, a process that involves using electricity from fully renewable sources to split water into hydrogen
and oxygen. Hydrogen is crucial for the chemical industry’s transition to net zero, as it offers a viable path to decarbonisation, especially considering the industry’s significant use of gas.
Meld Energy submitted a bid to access funding from round two of the government’s Hydrogen Production Business Model in April of this year. Successful schemes are expected to be announced later this year, with the government aiming to support up to 875 MW of hydrogen production in total.
The Humber region is a large industrial centre and the biggest industrial emitter of CO2 in the UK – with over 5% of the UK’s overall emissions and 50% more than the next largest region, which makes it an ideal location for hydrogen production.
Earlier this year the government announced the first round of successful projects under the electrolytic Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1) generating 125 MW, in addition to the 34 MW through round 1 of strand 2 of the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF).
The second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2), which is over 3 times the size of HAR1,
is now underway, and the contracts from round 2 of the NZHF strands 1 and 2 will be announced.
This progress has been possible due to the UK’s strong policy framework for growing hydrogen production – including the Hydrogen Production Business Model, Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement and the Uk Government's Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard.
Together this has proved an investable model which has leveraged private investment to kick start the UK’s hydrogen economy.
“Meld’s green hydrogen will be produced through electrolysis, a process that involves using electricity from fully renewable sources to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is crucial for the chemical industry’s transition to net zero, as it offers a viable path to decarbonisation, especially considering the industry’s
significant use of gas."
There is a target for the UK to reach of 10 GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, subject to affordability and value for money, with at least half of this coming from electrolytic hydrogen.
In addition to this, the government aim was to have up to 1 GW of electrolytic hydrogen and up to 1 GW of carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) enabled hydrogen in construction or operation by 2025.
As the hydrogen production landscape develops, the Uk can expect to see CCUS enabled hydrogen supporting decarbonisation in the industrial clusters, and increasingly large electrolytic projects sited in locations which allows industry to take advantage of the deployment of renewable electricity generation.
Transport and storage (T&S) infrastructure will be needed to connect and balance this production with demand.
A Hydrogen T&S Networks Pathway has been formally identified, supporting emerging regional networks centred on the availability of storage and credible regional production and demand as the priority for early T&S infrastructure.
About the company
Meld Energy serves as a developer specialising in green hydrogen production within the renewable energy sector. The company focuses on creating hydrogen powered by renewable energy sources to supply low and zero carbon fuels for various industries, including road transport, shipping, and aviation. meld.energy
MIDLANDS HOSPITAL IN THE UK RECEIVES
TWO KD1100 GENSETS
A
Midlands hospital in the UK needed a standby power solution - two 2 x KD1100 gensets - to provide vital back-up power for the facility in case of a power failure. WB Power Services Ltd (WBPS) won the contract to specify, design, and install two key substations, reports UKPN.
As part of the contract with a Midlands Hospital
WB Power Services Ltd (WBPS) undertook the full design and project management of the site and associated works.
The main challenge was to meld all the different elements the hospital authorities requested into a seamless single solution.
Additionally, the generators had to be configured so that either generator could feed power to the other package and, ultimately, the hospital building.
It was also important to create minimal disruption within the busy hospital which continued to function while the power equipment installation was carried out.
WBPS project managers liaised closely with the hospital staff to gather specific onsite knowledge. The company was also responsible for control and management of the site area, Health and Safety, staff inductions, welfare facilities, site security, and all temporary services.
WBPS specified Kohler’s KD1100 generator alongside the KohlerKH03860T alternator.
Kohler’s compact, fuel-efficient, power-dense, and highly reliable 12-cylinder, 2-litre KD27V125DES engine could comfortably deliver the full power and flexibility required to meet the hospital’s current and future needs - this was the assessment of WBPS.
The sets were provided with a dual battery, dual battery charger, and dual starter motor arrangement to enhance starting reliability and a 200-hour lube oil make-up tank to ensure safe long-term continuous running of the sets.
The two generating sets were housed in their own custom-made acoustic containers rated to achieve a noise level of 65dBA @1m FFC (both sets running) and came complete with fire detection, fuel shutoff valve, and all internal lighting and ventilation.
To minimise the footprint of the entire package, the container housing the generator was

designed to accommodate a penthousestyle inlet and horizontal discharge arrangement.
The dual roof-mounted exhaust gas silencers were arranged for high-level vertical discharge.
WBPS successfully provided an innovative “one-stop shop” package, including project design, optimized transformer and switchgear solutions, customised Kohler generating sets and associated control systems, and all electrical installation and civil works.
Modular packaged solutions meant that much of the required testing was completed before delivery to cut down site installation and commissioning time.
The Midlands Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides a full range of acute services (including 24-hour accident and emergency care) to the whole population and specialist services for children.
As the area's only acute district general hospital, with 24-hour Emergency Department services, the authorities are responsible for providing care and treatment to more than 400,000 people.
The NHS Hospital Foundation Trust works with NHS Professionals (NHSP) who manage the staff and locum bank. Working through NHSP helps the Trust reduce its reliance on recruitment agencies enabling cost savings to be reinvested into where it matters most, patient care and safety.
Thanks to the hard work and expertise of the WBPS technical team the Midlands Hospital can now continue giving thousands of patients a year the professional care they need safe in the knowledge that emergency power is ready to kick in if ever needed. www.wbpsltd.co.uk
LIGHTING TOWERS
FIRST HYBRID LIGHT TOWER
OFFERS EXCELLENT
PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENCY
At the beginning of the year Atlas Copco launched its first hybrid light tower - and now in the season of music festivals and construction development - the HiLight BI+ 4 is set to transform industry. The innovative light tower incorporates state-of-the-art surface mount device (SMD) LED lighting technology and lithium-ion batteries to provide excellent performance and efficiency.
Lighting towers like these are essential for operators at construction sites, events, mines, emergency applications and rental companies will be able to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs while improving sustainability levels – both environmentally and in business, reports Atlas Copco.
Combining the use of lithium-ion batteries with a low-consumption Stage V diesel engine, the new HiLight BI+ 4 light tower offers users maximum flexibility as it has four operating modes: it can be powered directly from mains electricity, from its lithium-ion batteries, from its diesel engine, or from a hybrid setting to make the most of the energy available.
The light towers have a battery autonomy of seven hours when operating at their full potential.
When using their dimming function, they can provide over 20 hours of silent and emission-free operation with a single charge.
With a battery recharging time of just four hours, the HiLight BI+ 4 can also feature an external power plug as an option.
When operating in hybrid mode, relying on both the batteries and the engine, the light tower’s fuel consumption is an average of 0,29l/h, which is the lowest average fuel consumption in its class of light towers.
Thanks to the incorporation of a battery, operators can reduce up to seven tonnes of CO2 per unit, per year, compared to traditional diesel-powered light towers. By optimising their energy consumption, users can reduce their environmental impact and improve their
“The flexible temporary lighting solution is also the first of Atlas Copco’s light towers to feature highly efficient SMD LED lights, which are 20% more efficient than alternative Chipon-Board (COB) LED lights found in alternative light towers and competitive solutions."
profitability considerably.
The 5kW lithium-ion battery technology delivers a higher performance than comparative light towers powered by absorbent glass mat (AGM) lead acid batteries. The lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is superior in comparison and is expected to last approximately 36,500 hours, compared to just 1,500 hours for AGM lead acid batteries.
Introducing the ability to use batteries reduces the use of the engine, which extends the unit’s lifetime and results in a temporary lighting solution with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). With a 60% reduction in engine runtime, service intervals are three times longer than light towers that run solely on diesel.
The HiLight BI+ 4 requires minimal maintenance every 1,500 hours of lighting, so users can save on costs associated with servicing.
The flexible temporary lighting solution is also the first of Atlas Copco’s light towers to feature highly efficient SMD LED lights, which are 20% more efficient than alternative Chip-on-Board (COB) LED lights found in alternative light towers and competitive solutions. Each light tower has four floodlights providing 150W power to reliably cover 4,000m2, extending the working days and contributing towards a safe working environment. The HiLight BI+ 4 is ergonomic, with fully hydraulic mast lifting and electric mast rotation, which is easily controlled on the system’s control panel.
The box-type light tower is 15% lighter than any hybrid light tower available on the market. Operators can fit up to 22 units on a standard 13-metre Eurotruck, which positively impacts transportability and improves operational efficiency.
Eric Tomin , Product Marketing Manager Lighting Towers and Portable Generators, Atlas Copco Power and Flow division, explains: "Sustainability is increasingly important for our customers as they look to improve their environmental credentials, and so we have made it front of mind when designing new equipment.
"This new hybrid light tower is the first of a kind, combining the very latest SMD lighting technology with lithiumion batteries to deliver the very best performance and efficiency."

OLIVE SQUARE, ST
JOHNS
WOOD, CENTRAL
LONDON - SILENT
GENERATOR DEPLOYED
FOR NIGHTTIME USE FOR FIVE MONTHS
One of the clients of Power Saving Solutions (PSS) - Olive Square, St Johns Wood, a property maintenance & refurbishment company, requested the deployment of a Hussh Pod 30/45.
The Hussh Pod 30/45, with a 60kVA diesel generator, was delivered to a client at a site in Central London. The Hussh Pod 30/45 itself is a powerful and silent battery power unit with a 30kw three-phase inverter and 45kwh of stored power, reducing emissions and noise pollution while providing reliable, clean energy.
The Hussh Pod's role in this contract was to supply power for property flood repairs, including pumps with silent battery power during the nighttime between 3pm to 9am, and a diesel generator to supply the site with power during the day whilst also recharging the Hussh Pod’s batteries.
The setup had to be as sustainable as possible during the day so site power was provided from the diesel generator, due to this being the highest load points.
The Hussh Pod's role was to supply power during the nighttime hours to equipment such as
pumps and heaters. This setup achieved a 71% reduction in the amount of fuel being used by the generator and in CO2 emissions reduction, reports the company.
The equipment was on hire for five months and operated on Hussh Pod battery for 71% of the timeframe, with the generator running for the remaining 29%.
This resulted in an approximately 13,249 litres of fuel being saved at a value of £19,874 and a reduction of nearly (39,094kg of CO2 compared to when running solely on a diesel generator, explains Power Saving Solutions (PSS).
These figures are based on the generator being a 60kVA with a fuel consumption of 5-litres per hour at a cost of £1.50 per litre), reports the company.
Power Saving Solutions (PSS) was initially established as an electrical contractor and
“The Hussh Pod's role in this contract was to supply power for property flood repairs, including pumps with silent battery power during the nighttime between 3pm to 9am, and a diesel generator to supply the site with power during the day whilst also recharging the Hussh Pod’s batteries. The setup had to be as sustainable as possible during the day so site power was provided from the diesel generator."

NEW DATA CENTRE POWER BATTERIES OFFER GREATER EFFICIENCY & RELIABILITY
ABB is promoting a new development - nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries - as part of its MegaFlex range, to provide guaranteed high power density and sustainable UPS solutions for data centres and other critical power applications.
According to ABB the new batteries could address the sustainability challenges associated with the increasing digitalization trend. Provided by ZincFive - a company which develops proprietary nickel-zinc battery storage technology to provide electricity specifically for data centres and other applications - these batteries are said to offer a 'sustainable alternative to conventional chemistries while meeting the needs of high-power, high-density UPS'.
The NiZn batteries use abundant, recyclable materials, nickel and zinc, which are non-toxic and non-flammable. Research indicates the batteries’ greenhouse gas emissions are four times less than lead-acid and six times less than lithium-ion batteries. The energy footprint with NiZn batteries is also said to be 23-33% smaller than lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. NiZn batteries provide enhanced safety compared to conventional lithiumion batteries which makes their transportation and installation easier, particularly in mission-critical applications, reports ABB. For these reasons, introducing NiZn battery technology benefits ABB’s MegaFlex, already known for its high system efficiency of up to 97.4% and power availability of up to 1.6 MW UL and 2.0 MW IEC. ABB reports that testing has confirmed ZincFive's NiZn battery technology as a dependable and safe substitute for traditional lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. With over 150 megawatts of these integrated systems already implemented, ABB is well on the way toward a net-zero future. new.abb.com
WHAT IF THE ACTUAL MATERIAL OF YOUR GENSET CANOPY COULD MAKE UP YOUR BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM?
Swedish startup Sinonus offers an innovative energy storage solution which could turn giant turbine blades into batteries one day. This involves not just turbine blades but anything made using carbon fibre could be turned into an energy storage unit thanks to Sinonus’ pioneering tech developed at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The company's work with carbon fibre could lead to “massless” batteries where the material itself serves as energy storage and as part of the device’s outside case. According to ther company it's a matter of developing carbon fibre which offers both the stiffness required for structural integrity and the electrochemical performance needed to store energy.
Sinonus has already developed a proof of concept, replacing AAA batteries in the lab with its carbon-electrode batteries. Its prototype at Chalmers University offers just 24 Watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg). By comparison, existing lithium-ion batteries typically have an energy density between 80 and 120 Wh/kg.
Markus Zetterström, CEO at Sinonus, has explained that the material doubling as a structural integrity component helps justify the loss of electrical storage efficiency. He says: “Storing electrical energy in carbon fibre may perhaps not become as efficient as traditional batteries, but since our carbon fibre solution also has a structural load-bearing capability, very large gains can be made at a system level.”
Sinonus argues that - by using “the mass that is already there” to store energy - this could serve to reduce the weight and volume of equipment while still improving overall system performance. The end result might not be as efficient as a LiON battery pack at the moment but it is still smaller and lighter while still providing the same battery life. sinonus.com
