THIS ALL SOUNDS LIKE BIG TALK, RIGHT? There are four good reasons why the UK needs another Genset/CHP Association. 1.There have been key changes to the Medium Combustion Plant Directive since it was introduced in 2015 - and the post-Brexit move from EU ETS to UK ETS has also created some ongoing concerns. This is the moment when all owners/operators of standby generators have been forced to realise the implications of change for their business practices. 2. An important concern is a review of Environmental Permit Regulations - the changes in thermal input capacity have increased the obligations of operators. 3. Similarly, a UK review of EU laws has just expanded after 1,000 pieces of legislation were added to the Schedule for post-Brexit reform and revocation by the end of 2023. How can OEMS, dealers, specifiers and users keep up with all this? How can they interpret what the welter of Red Tape is going to mean for them? 4. The Technical Committee of UKGSA is here to offer free and impartial advice

Construction begins on Peel’s Mersey Heat Energy Centre Renewable energy company Vital Energi is building an energy facility to supply low carbon heat and hot water for up to 6,700 homes and 1.3m sq ft of commercial space. Construction has started to deliver the Mersey Heat Energy Centre at Peel Waters’ Liverpool Waters site off Great Howard Street. Peel NRE is behind the scheme. The centre will provide heat and power to the wider Liverpool Waters development, as well as surrounding areas. Liverpool Waters is a large-scale £5.5bn project, which benefits from planning permission to build a mixed-use city district across 148 acres at Princes Dock. Led by district heat network specialist Ener-Vate, the Mersey Heat Energy Centre will feature two 3MW water source heat pumps that would work on an ‘open loop’ system to take heat from water from the Leeds-Liverpool canal. This heat would be used to warm surrounding homes and businesses within six kilometres. The initial first phase of Peel NRE’s Mersey Heat network project could supply 20GWh of heat every year, with planning permission secured to expand to supply around 45GWh – the equivalent of supplying heating and hot water to 17,000 homes. Andrew Wightman, pre-construction director at Vital Energi, says: “Projects like Liverpool Waters, which fully embrace renewable energy, will be fundamental to Liverpool, and the UK in general, meeting their net zero targets. “The energy centre has been designed to expand alongside the Liverpool Waters development, so will play a pivotal part in the long-term green future of Liverpool’s dockside.” Chris Capes, director for development at Liverpool Waters, comments: “Part of our approach involves a focus on building efficiency and the implementation of ambitious site-wide strategies. “This new energy centre, part of the wider Mersey Heat network, will help to bring low-carbon heating and hot water to residents and commercial customers across Liverpool Waters.” Reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, the scheme will save 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year. This reduction in emissions will have the same impact as taking 1,000 cars off the roads. Myles Kitcher, managing director of Peel NRE, said: “Finding alternative low-carbon sources of heat will be vital if we’re to stay on track to achieve net zero by 2050. “This ambitious project has the potential to provide enough low carbon heat for over a fifth of the homes in Liverpool, cementing the city at the heart of the region’s decarbonisation journey.” Planning permission was granted for the project in February 2021. Work is expected to complete in September 2024. Peel NRE is part of the Peel Group, one of the leading infrastructure, transport and real estate investors in the UK, with collective investments owned and under management of more than £5 billion. Peel NRE is at the forefront of delivering low carbon energy to the UK. With over 20 years’ experience and claims it has a balanced development portfolio of wind, marine, biomass, solar and decentralised energy projects.

NEWS WHARFEDALE HOSPITAL SOLAR SCHEME 8MW CONNECTION TO COWLEY BUS STATION FOR WILL SAVE TRUST £75,000 AREA ELECTRIFICATION

harfedale Hospital’s solar panel car park canopy will save its trust £75,000. This is thanks to more than 600 solar panels which have been installed on a new car park canopy at a West Yorkshire hospital. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) said the £1.1m project at Otley’s Wharfedale Hospital could save up to £75,000 each year as well as cutting carbon emissions. According to the trust, the panels will reduce its demand for power from the National Grid by about 15%. It said the scheme would help towards NHS plans to reach net zero by 2040. Craige Richardson, Director of Estates and Facilities at LTHT, said: “The solar canopy at the Wharfedale site exemplifies the trust’s dedication to both environmental sustainability and the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve.” He added that with the increased energy demands associated with a proposed £15m elective care hub at the site the car park canopy was a “real positive”. Funding for the solar panels came from the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, the trust said. The investment is part of the Trust’s long-term plans to develop services at Wharfedale Hospital, which also includes a proposed £15 m Elective Care Hub, incorporating two new theatres, a recovery area, and an admissions and discharge area, alongside making an existing ward operational overnight. The Trust claims to have been at the forefront of investing in energy-efficient projects, with a commitment of over £22 million. These projects – including the canopy – have been made possible through successful Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme bids. The range of initiatives implemented to date includes the installation of heat pumps and LED lighting, building fabric upgrades, and connections to Leeds PIPES, a low-carbon district heating network. Reid Cunningham, Business Development director – Energy, at BAM, said: “BAM has provided facilities management services at Wharfedale Hospital since 2004, and we’re delighted to have delivered this innovative solar canopy installation that will reduce the hospital’s carbon emissions by 43.7 tonnes per year. Installing the solar canopies above the hospital car park is a fantastic way of harnessing the untapped potential of this space, so that it not only provides a place for staff and patients to park, but also provides clean, renewable energy for the building.” Mila Lopez Simon, Managing Director, UK&I at Invesis, added: “We are proud to have supported the Trust in delivering the solar photovoltaic canopy. As investor-developers, we will continue to support the Trust by fostering positive, collaborative relationships, and through the efficient delivery of future variations and management services, which will play a role in helping the Trust achieve its long-term Net Zero objectives.”

19 NEW BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE PROJECTS WILL PLUG INTO NATIONAL GRID National Grid is accelerating the connection of up to 20GW of clean energy projects to its electricity transmission and distribution networks in England and Wales as part of ongoing collaborative work across industry. On its transmission network, 19 battery energy storage projects worth around 10GW will be offered dates to plug in averaging four years earlier than their current agreement, based on a new approach which removes the need for non-essential engineering works prior to connecting storage. The new policy is part of National Grid’s connections reform initiative targeting transmission capacity, spearheaded by the ESO – which owns the contractual relationship with connecting projects – and actioned jointly with National Grid Electricity Transmission (ET), the part of the business which designs and builds the transmission infrastructure needed in England and Wales to plug projects in. On its distribution network in the Midlands, South West of England and South Wales, the additional 10GW of unlocked capacity

announced recently is set to accelerate the connection of scores of low carbon technology projects, bringing forward some ‘shovel ready’ schemes by up to five years. National Grid has already been in contact with more than 200 projects interested in fast tracking their distribution connection dates in the first wave of the capacity release, with 16 expressing an interest in connecting in the next 12 months and another 180 looking to connect within two to five years. The accelerated 20GW equates to the capacity of six Hinkley Point C nuclear power stations and follows months of work and engagement with industry, Ofgem and government to find innovative solutions that will make plugging in clean energy projects faster and more flexible. That includes collaborative action between Britain’s transmission and distribution networks – part of the Energy Networks Association (ENA)’s three-step plan for connections – to manage their technical interface more effectively to unlock gigawatts of capacity. The new approach to transmission storage connections – a flagship policy in the ESO’s five-point plan to speed up connections – comes as National Grid ET undertakes an extensive review of projects in the connections pipeline in England and Wales to identify which can come forward based on new planning assumptions agreed with the ESO..

GHOST PROJECT IDENTIFIES TIDAL ENERGY SITES Nova Innovation, a leading tidal energy developer, is heading up a consortium to look at the potential of producing green hydrogen and oxygen from their tidal energy projects in Shetland. The Scottish Government’s Emerging Energy Technologies Fund – Hydrogen Innovation Scheme will fund their GHOST Project (Green Hydrogen and Oxygen Supply from Tidal Energy). The study will explore the use of hydrogen and oxygen for transport, domestic heating and industry in Shetland including the SaxaVord Space Centre. The contract will see Nova and partners (The University of Strathclyde, Shetland Islands Council and Ricardo Energy), investigate potential markets for both the hydrogen and oxygen produced from electrolysis using Nova’s

tidal energy projects in Shetland. Oxygen, an oft discarded by-product of green hydrogen production, is already used in aquaculture on Shetland and has the potential to be used by the SaxaVord Space Centre, creating a 100% renewable rocket fuel. Unlike conventional hydrogen production methods that rely on fossil fuels, green hydrogen generated from renewable power, is a clean and sustainable alternative that has the potential to revolutionise the energy industry.

NEWS FIVE SITES IN THE UK SHOW POTENTIAL FOR GEOTHERMAL ENERGY EXTRACTION

HAVE YOU TAKEN THE RIGHT STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR POWER SYSTEMS FROM ‘HACKTIVISTS’?

eothermal energy provides a unique opportunity to deliver a low-carbon energy source to many areas of the UK, specifically for heating. A recent White Paper highlights opportunities where deep geothermal energy could help the UK meet its net zero objectives, increase energy supply security, deliver economic benefits and create the green jobs of the future to improve our communities. BGS, in collaboration with Arup, was commissioned by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership to develop this White Paper entitled ‘The case for deep geothermal energy - unlocking investment at scale in the UK’. It provides an evidence-based assessment of the opportunities and makes recommendations for building the deep geothermal sector in the UK. The report was funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub. Dr Corinna Abesser, BGS Director of Policy is the lead author of the report. Geothermal energy is energy produced and stored as heat in the subsurface. It can provide an ultralow-carbon source for heating, cooling and power generation. The current high costs of drilling restrict the use of geothermal energy to areas with certain geological settings. As technologies improve and new extraction methods are developed, more areas should become economically viable for geothermal exploitation. Most of the UK’s onshore deep geothermal potential is found in deeply buried (deeper than 500m) limestones and sandstones in sedimentary basins. Groundwater within these rocks may reach temperatures of more than 100°C but more data from deep wells and from operational geothermal projects is needed to estimate the economically usable portion of the energy. In some areas, hot granites provide a potential source for geothermal power. There are currently two deep geothermal projects in development or operation in Cornwall for provision of heat and power, including the Eden Geothermal project, and three other UK sites are also using geothermal water from springs or shallower wells for heat. Deep geothermal energy already delivers environmental, economic and technical advantages in countries with similar geology to the UK, such as the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Advantages include greenhouse gas emission reductions and job generation. They have also shown that deep geothermal sources are viable to provide long-term or large-scale district heating and cooling.

Matt Watson, Red Team Expert at CovertSwarm, a leading global ethical hacking, and cyber security solution provider, believes that the UK energy network is especially vulnerable. With an ever-increasing reliance upon technology within the energy sector, he writes, the risk of cyber-attacks is also increasing. With this in mind, the energy industry needs to ensure steps are taken to boost its security. Today, a nation-state may target the energy grid of a rival country to cause a blackout, which could be used to weaken the adversary’s economy or its military capabilities. Hacktivists may direct their attacks against the energy sector to publicly display their opposition to the industry’s activities for environmental or ideological reasons and cybercriminals may be attracted to the energy sector purely for financial gain. Primary methods of attack may involve cyber attackers gaining initial access is phishing or spearphishing. They may use a variety of lures to induce their victims to click on a link or download a file, for example, emails may be crafted around topics such as healthcare, job postings, holiday entitlements, or password policies.

If a user then clicks on a malicious link or downloads a malicious file, malware could then be injected into their system. Another variation on this theme would be a phishing email asking the victim to confirm their identity by entering personal data; threat actors could then use this data to directly access corporate resources within the security context of the victim or to perform a password reset of the victim’s corporate account. It’s also worth mentioning that the infrastructure utilised by companies within the energy sector is often complex, and geographically diverse, presenting a large attack surface area that can be difficult to secure. Their networks also often contain a mixture of both cyber and physical infrastructure such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, which were not designed with internet connectivity in mind. Bear the risks in mind and ,make sure that your employees are adequately trained in these following five areas: 1.Security awareness training 2.Strong access controls 3.Regular security assessments 4.Business continuity and incident response planning 5.Security monitoring and alerting.

CHP POWERS A SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING SITE Dynex, a world-leading designer and manufacturer of high-power semiconductors and assemblies, is now benefitting from an Edina-installed and maintained Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solution as part of its sustainability measures.

dina, a distributed energy solutions provider, was contracted to design, engineer, install, commission, and maintain the 1.56MW electrical output Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at Dynex Semiconductors’ Lincoln manufacturing facility. Key benefits: -Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant provides electricity on-site thus reducing grid imports -CHP plant protects Dynex Semiconductor from volatile energy market -CHP generates 75% of the sites hot water demand for heating -Hydrogen-ready asset Edina, a distributed energy solutions provider, was contracted to design, engineer, install, commission, and maintain the 1.56MW electrical output Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at Dynex Semiconductors’ Lincoln manufacturing facility. The move to accelerate on-site generation CHP was driven by the volatile energy market and the need to manage rising energy costs, reduce carbon emissions, and improve energy-efficiency measures at the site by replacing old inefficient gas boilers.

Dynex is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the design, development and production of High-Power Semiconductor modules and Power Assemblies used within industrial, traction, renewable and power grid, electric vehicles, fusion energy, and hydrogen electrolysis applications. The CHP plant, powered by a single MWM TCG 2020 V16 gas genset, produces the site’s electrical requirement, thus offsetting grid imported power. The heat from the electrical generation process is captured and utilised on-site to provide 75% of the hot water demand for temperature and humidity control within the manufacturing areas. In doing so, CHP provision reduces the boiler house demand for hot water generation and energy costs on-site. Improving Energy Efficiency Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is the cogeneration of electricity and heat from a single fuel source. CHP forms part of Dynex’s sustainability and low-carbon measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce its carbon and water

“ Working with Dynex we were able to deliver a support solution to reduce their dependency on the grid, allowing them to take control of their energy requirements and support their long-term sustainable measures.” - Adam Bloom, Head of Sales, Edina

footprint. The CHP plant offers highefficiency energy utilisation of 95%. Because electricity and heat are produced and used onsite, Dynex will avoid transmission and distribution losses – typically around 7.5% that occur in transporting electricity from the grid. Further sustainability measures include 200kW roof-mounted solar PV, which generates an average of 42,952kWh/ year, site-wide LED lighting rollout, and improvements in waste recycling. These are just some of the measures enacted as part of Dynex’s commitment to the UK Government’s Climate Change Agreement (CCA) which sets energy reduction targets for the semiconductor industry. As principal contractor, Edina designed and engineered the CHP engine within an acoustically treated weatherproof enclosure for ease of installation and ongoing asset-care access. Edina delivered, installed, and commissioned the Dynex CHP plant on time and within budget and is maintaining the plant over a 15-year life cycle. According to the latest 2022 plant availability performance data, the Dynex CHP is averaging a strong hourly availability at over 98% set against a 92.5% industry standard benchmark. As the authorised official distributor for MWM gas gensets, Dynex are benefitting from Edina’s in-market support leveraging its local field services engineers, 24/7 remote plant monitoring and conditioning, and access to genuine MWM parts to ensure the CHP plant remains operational and downtimes are at a minimum. Working with Dynex and their incumbent mechanical team, Edina were challenged with dovetailing the programme for civil works, CHP installation and commissioning, with Dynex’s own extensive programme to overhaul the full heating and power networks within the site. From civil works design and installation to lifting operations and final operational testing, both Dynex and Edina worked in synergy to ensure minimum impact to ongoing operations. A further testament to both teams that the project delivery took place during the COVID Pandemic and the unique challenges this posed. www.mwm.net NOV./DEC. 2023 UK POWER NEWS

STANDBY GENERATOR PACKAGE FOR NEW

GROUNDBREAKING LONDON CANCER

TREATMENT FACILITY One of the country’s leading construction companies behind some of the UK’s significant projects delivering award winning construction, development and regeneration turned to The Generator Company for a 100% reliable emergency power solution, reports UKPN.

he Generator Company (TGC) was contacted by the customer’s Production Manager towards the end of 2016 to enquire if TGC would like to work with them to design, deliver and install a new standby power package for a new state-of-the-art NHS cancer treatment facility, currently one of only two to be built in the UK;the other based in Manchester. Having worked with the client on previous occasions, TGC was naturally keen to be able to work with them again on such an exciting and pioneering project. The advanced 31,500sqm, 11 storey building consists of five storeys below ground and six above. The height of the building, including below ground is 58.5 metres, making it equivalent to London’s Tower Bridge. Below ground level is a 16,000sqm five-level building extending 28.5 metres below ground built with 44,000 cubic metres of concrete reinforced with approximately 8,000 tonnes of steel, which comprises two mechanical and electrical plant levels, two floors for patient therapy care and a short stay surgical service, in addition to eight

surgical theatres. Aboveground is a 15,500sqm, 30 metre sixstorey hospital incorporating Europe’s largest centre for the treatment of blood disorders. Some additional interesting build facts include: • Earth excavated: 80,000m3, which is the equivalent of 640 double decker buses, or enough to make 39,000,000 bricks, • 3000 people involved in the construction overall, • 1,100,000 iPhones could be charged with the power needed for the Centre. TGC’s Project Sales Team attended numerous post tender meetings with the client’s Projects Team to discuss the project in greater detail determining any site restrictions, together with the specific requirements of the end-client thus ensuring that TGC was mindful of strict deadlines and stringent stipulations of the project based on the proposed use and location of the building. This allowed TGC to provide them with a bespoke power solution for this groundbreaking project. The first stage of the project required temporary standby power to support the site during the construction of the building

providing back-up power for equipment, machinery and welfare facilities. Following discussions on the power needs for the build it was agreed to supply a 700kVA temporary containerised standby generator with a daily storage tank that would be housed on a gantry, with the welfare cabins, adjacent to the site. The generator was delivered, craned onto the gantry and commissioned by the TGC commissioning team. The second stage of the project was to supply standby power to support 100% of building load to include all equipment within the building and the critical life safety system of the building incorporating the Proton Beam equipment. In line with the initial requirements of the end-client, TGC proposed 2 off 1500kVA generators sized on the load profile information available at the time for the new cancer treatment equipment, boilers, UPS system and other essential plant. The proposal was modified on request of the end-client due to changing of suppliers during the tender process, with the generator resized to 1 off 2500kVA with an oversized alternator to meet the revised load profile, thus reducing the footprint area of the generator.

power needs for the build it was agreed to supply a 700kVA temporary standby generator.”

GENSETS [continues from page 23] Value Engineering was applied in order to overcome challenging obstacles regarding available rooftop space for the Generator and Acoustic Enclosure, the eyeline height restriction and the actual load profile. Maintaining the design noise target of 70dBA@1m with limited space on the rooftop location was the greatest challenge. Corresponding to the noise target, the package included a self-contained acoustic enclosure to minimise noise levels for private patient rooms on level 5, an exhaust silencer and a 4,000-litre day tank which were to be housed on the roof of the building with the generator. A 40,000 litre bulk fuel tank was to be located in a dedicated 2-hour fire rated room in the basement area and sized to provide 72 hours of emergency backup at full running load. With the equipment being located on the roof of the building in a prominent area of central London, TGC’s team needed to take into consideration and respect planning rules in regards to height restrictions. This meant that the acoustic enclosure was required to be below 2500mm in height and the exhaust silencer had to be hung on the side of the enclosure in order not to obscure the London skyline. The transportation and lifting of the equipment, using a 500 tonne crane had to be carefully planned as the location of the site was surrounded by very narrow roads on top of a network of underground tunnels. Following further discussions and sign off of all the equipment by the customer one of TGC’s experienced Project Managers was appointed to work closely alongside the customer to ensure that the project ran smoothly and all necessary site surveys, drawings, risks assessments, method statements and other associated aspects of the project were managed in an appropriate and timely manner. This included co-ordination of an offsite witness test along with traffic management and road closures for the multi-staged delivery onto the roof and into the basement area. As the generator and fuel oil system was to interface with many other systems within the hospital, TGC’s project manager met with the hospital’s fire officer, local authority and design team to ensure that the hospital would not be put at risk at any time during the project. On acceptance of the equipment by all parties and prior to delivery, a Factory Acceptance Test of the open generator set took place at the manufactures site, attended and witnessed by the customer to determine that the equipment

met all requirements. Following this successful test the equipment was transported to the premises of TGC’s acoustic container specialists for the manufacture of the acoustic container. It was then broken down into four movable parts to allow for it to be safely transported to site by Hiab lorry. The 40,000-litre bulk fuel tank was delivered early on in the construction of the building and installed at basement level 2 followed by the generator and ancillary equipment at a later date. On the programmed days, TGC’s logistics team transported the rest of the equipment on 5 lorry loads over 5 days, with 2 escorted vehicles owing to the fact that the loads were over 4-metres wide, to the site to meet the crane team who expertly offloaded and positioned the generator, acoustic container, attenuators and exhaust silencer onto the roof. The installation of M&E works was completed over 4 months with numerous co-ordination and design meetings required to finalise the routes for the fuel system pipework and control cables for the master control panels between the generator located at roof level and bulk fuel tank and master control panels at basement level 2. All final connections were carried out over a 2- day period by TGC’s skilled project engineers followed by commissioning prechecks of the generator and a loadbank test utilising our own 2500kVA resistive/reactive loadbank. A successful black building test was carried out simulating a power outage to test the functionality of generator to ensure that it would support the property during an emergency situation in the event of a power outage. part of this project.” The Generator Company submitted the final operation and maintenance documents onto the Edocuments/BIM system as instructed by the customer, to include systems description, equipment and material schedules, health and safety documentation, test certificates, maintenance schedules and drawings.

“We would like to say a big thank you our customer for allowing us to be part of this amazing project to create a building fit to house pioneering technology.” - The Generator Company

An annual maintenance agreement was included within the package providing the end-client with a dedicated Service Contract Manager, 2 off 6 monthly generator service and maintenance visits, over the phone technical guidance and access to TGC’s 24-hour emergency call out service. About The Generator Company The Generator Company prides itself on its ability to provide unique power solutions which reflect the mission-critical nature of the industry it serves. By working with, and addressing the customers’ specific requirements, TGC can engineer and deliver products and services on a site-by-site, national, or global basis.

DATA CENTRES

A HAMPSHIRE DATA CENTRE’S POWER SOLUTION Keysource , a global data centre & critical environment specialist, was engaged by a leading Hampshire Data Centre to provide pre-construction services for the first floor data centre construction at its site. A large part of this service was to design and deliver a backup power solution to meet the additional power load of the new-build project once complete. WB Power Services Ltd was able to help by consulting on the project and delivering a bespoke solution.

aving been engaged to provide pre-construction services for the first floor data centre construction, Keysource, a global data centre & critical environment specialist, approached WBPS to scope, design, install and commission a new back-up power solution to meet the additional power load of the new-build project once complete. The first stage of the project involved the cranage installation of 2 x 2200kVA Kohler prime rated generating sets, installed alongside two incumbent generators. Due to spacing restrictions within the plant room, a bespoke framing solution was also designed. The generators were connected into the existing fuel tank arrangement, and new control systems were modified to ensure compatibility with the existing sync systems. Following project scope, design and sign-off, the first milestone was to deliver and place the two T2200kVA Kohler generators. Utilising a third party cranage company, the two generating sets were craned into an adjacent position and then skated in.

Due to severe space limitations, the silencers built for the generator couldn’t be hung from the ceiling in a traditional style. As an alternative solution, a bespoke silencer support frame was constructed. The generators

BIODIESEL BLENDS NOW POWERING GENSETS 24-7

Volvo Penta has been working with a company which develops reliable solutions designed to maintain a customer’s access to electricity at times of peak consumption or supply disruption. Binatural recently acquired three BRG Slim 625 kVA gensets powered by Volvo Penta’s TAD-1641GE engines, reports UKPN.

evelopments in Brazil could offer ‘knock-on’ benefits for the UK. Larger commercial scale biodiesel and bioethanol production capacity in the UK has certainly expanded since the first plant opened in 2005. The total UK biofuel production capacity is in excess of 1,500 million litres per year, of which 60% is bioethanol and 40% biodiesel (with a small volume of biomethane). However, actual production has been significantly below capacity to date. Another approach to biodiesel blends Binatural’s biodiesel facility currently operates with three Volvo Penta-powered BRG gensets. This local trial-adoption of biodiesel blends is aimed at optimizing costs and channeling excess energy back to the local community, while gathering knowledge of how the genset segment can bridge energy gaps sustainably. As a long-time Volvo Penta customer, having served the Brazilian market for over 20 years, BRG Brasil Geradores has accumulated vast experience in developing reliable solutions that maintain a customer’s access to electricity at times of peak consumption or supply disruption. “A production plant on the scale of Binatural’s must not come to an unplanned stop at any time, which means the equipment must be extremely reliable,” explains Silvio de Oliveira, CEO of BRG Brasil Geradores. “The engines were trial tested for 2,000 hours of continuous operation, blending in the

biodiesel manufactured onsite by Binatural, and under our supervision, automation, and control technologies. Together, our efforts and knowledge are helping to redefine the future of sustainable biofuel use.” A tireless commitment to renewable fuels Founded in 2006, Binatural is a major Brazilian industrial group specializing in biodiesel, with a commitment to providing a renewable and clean product that positively impacts society and nature. “The constant search for renewable energy sources and changing Brazil’s energy matrix are very important,” says André Lavor, CEO of Binatural. “Moving our industry with the product we manufacture reinforces our engagement with the planet.” The acquisition of three BRG Slim 625 kVA powered by Volvo Penta’s TAD-1641GE engines is a testament to Binatural’s dedication to reliable and robust machinery. These engines, the backbone of the operation, have undergone rigorous testing, emerging as stalwart workhorses capable of continuous, efficient operation. Binatural’s manufacturing prowess yields an annual capacity of 600 million liters of biodiesel, contributing significantly to Brazil’s total production capacity of 6.7 billion litres. In Simões Filho, advanced and efficient production processes ensure an impressive 97.5% utilisation

“We want to use all the experience we gained from these trials to develop new projects with the aim of reducing emissions. Renewable sources of energy are an important component in our road to netzero.

rate of raw materials. The plant has certifications, including the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), and the Social Biofuel seal, underscoring its commitment to sustainable and ethical business practices. “Our biodiesel carries the social biofuel seal, ensuring that part of the raw material we use comes from family farming,” elaborates André. “This supports job and income generation for thousands of rural producers.” In light of the Volvo Group’s well-known net zero ambitions, the project was not just a partnership that Volvo Penta was eager to become involved with, but one that is likely to have implications for its future developments. “We want to use all the experience we gained from these trials to develop new projects with the aim of reducing emissions,” says Felipe Lopes, Industrial Sales Director, Volvo Penta Brazil. “Renewable sources of energy are an important component in our road to net-zero.” André Lavor tells UKPN:“BRG’s Volvo Penta-powered generators are now part of this large bold structure, which is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Now we have at home three generators powered in part by biodiesel that we produce – and we are very happy.” What is special about the TAD1641GE? The TAD1641GE is a powerful, reliable and economical generating set diesel engine built on the dependable in-line six design. Designed for easiest, fastest and most economical installation, it is regarded as well-balanced to produce smooth and vibration-free operation with low noise level. To maintain a controlled working temperature in cylinders and combustion chambers, the engine is equipped with piston cooling. The engine is also fitted with replaceable cylinder liners and valve seats/guides to ensure maximum durability and service life of the engine. There is also an efficient and reliable turbo charger. The state-of-the-art, high-tech injection and charging system with low internal losses contributes to excellent combustion and low fuel consumption, reports Volvo Penta. The TAD1641GE complies with EU Stage 2 exhaust emission regulations. There is an Engine Management System 2 (EMS 2), an electronically controlled processing system which optimises engine performance. It also includes advanced facilities for diagnostics and fault tracing.” www.volvopenta.com 31

UPS

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT WITH UPS TECH Energy costs remain high. Data centres need to consider efficient running strategies like never before. The positive news is that most modern uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) already offer high levels of efficiency. For example: two modular UPS solutions, CumulusPower and StratusPower, have on-line efficiencies of over 97%. So, what else can facilities do to minimise the use of energy and reduce their carbon footprint at the same time? asks Louis McGarry, Sales & Marketing Director Centiel UK

hen it comes to UPS tech organisations should take a long-term view. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculations need to be made over ten, fifteen and ideally 30 years – the whole life cycle of the data centre - to make informed and active management choices about facility design and the right choice of UPS and associated equipment. Right sizing is important because oversized UPS are inefficient. Modular UPS are flexible and can be installed with the ability to add modules using a “pay as you grow” approach. Only the relatively inexpensive infrastructure around the UPS (e.g. cable size, modular UPS cabinet) needs to be ready for future growth, so the facility should be designed with flexibility for the future in mind. Then, rightsizing the UPS from day one by installing only the required number of UPS modules, minimises the overall capital expenditure (CAPEX), running costs and maintenance costs (OPEX). Variable Load Management can help too. In a situation where the load can vary, UPS modules can be put into a “sleep mode”. While not switching power, their monitoring circuitry is fully operational, so they are instantaneously ready to switch power if needed.

Because it is the switching of power that causes the greatest energy losses, system efficiency is significantly increased. Peak Shaving, also known as Peak Lopping Load Shaving or Peak Load Shaving is becoming more commonly used. This is a way that facilities can actively use their own energy storage to save costs during peak times of demand on the National Grid. Peak Shaving can help customers avoid paying higher electricity prices or fees that are applied when going above their maximum peak load. Peak shaving can be achieved by either reducing usage levels by switching off nonessential equipment or by utilizing other energy sources such as battery storage or UPS Systems. With UPS, Peak Shaving is achieved with reduced energy taken from the grid while batteries simultaneously discharge during high rate demand. One real life example is a distillery in Scotland which plans to work off-grid completely. A CHP generator, running off gas, will provide power. However, in times of peak demand the factory can peak shave using the energy stored in its UPS batteries rather than purchasing electricity

“Managing and reducing future energy use will become second nature. In an industry which burns large amounts of energy, we have a responsibility to choose a more sustainable way forward. Let’s see what new

and better active management habits we can adopt to reduce energy use and improve carbon footprints.”

from the UK power network. With energy demand continuing to rise, grid operators are keen on finding ways to achieve a “shaved curve”; and so, end users will usually be granted a rebate on their energy bills if they implement a Peak Shaving program. For Peak Shaving to work successfully, the necessary technology must be included in the UPS so product selection from the outset needs to be considered carefully. The type of UPS battery used is also critical. Li-ion batteries, unlike traditional VRLA batteries, are capable of thousands of cycles but they have legitimate safety concerns. They release oxygen, which is combustible and if they do catch fire, the fire is not easily put out. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, however, are oxygen free and are as safe as VRLA batteries. They share the advantages of cycling but with significantly less risk. They also tolerate higher ambient temperatures, reducing or removing the need for cooling, and their typical useful working life of fifteen to twenty years means they only need to be replaced once in a 30-year design life UPS’s lifetime. Using LiFePO4 batteries, it is possible to reduce costs by taking some energy from the batteries instead of the National Grid during peak times in the day, for example, and recharging batteries at times of lower demand when electricity costs are less, such as at night. It would not make sense to discharge batteries completely or quickly, so to preserve battery life, small amounts of battery energy are taken simultaneously with grid sharing to shave pence off the bill which over time adds up to significant savings. Centiel’s Intelligent Flexible Battery Charging functionality, which is customer enabled, sets site specific parameters and takes place automatically. To save energy, a whole business approach where organisations plan many years ahead will successfully contribute to reducing power consumption and lowering carbon footprints. The techniques described above will require active and sustained management, but just like recycling at home which initially required careful consideration, now it’s automatic. A habit. Managing and reducing future energy use will become second nature. In an industry which burns large amounts of energy, we have a responsibility to choose a more sustainable way forward. www.centiel.co.uk NOV./DEC. 2023 UK POWER NEWS

51-TONNE GENERATOR LIFTED USING CUBE JACKS

As part of a UK power generation infrastructure project, Denby Transport’s Special Projects division completed the installation of a 51-ton generator using Enerpac SCJ-50 cube jacks. UKPN has the story.

Yealrier this year a 5m-long generator was transported to a generator building on a flatbed trailer. This was a KEY part of a UK power generation infrastructure project handled by Denby Transport’s Special Projects division. This same divison later completed the installation of a 51-ton generator using Enerpac SCJ-50 cube jacks. Arriving at the generator building and resting on header beams, the generator was raised off the trailer using four SCJ-50 cube jacks and lowered onto static load holders. The cube jacks were then repositioned on 0.5m-high static load holders to complete the lift to 2.35m, allowing the generator to be skidded into its final resting position. Denby Transport director of special projects, George Elliott, said that due to their small

footprint, the company’s new SCJ-50 cube jacks are ideal for confined spaces. “They’re also easy to use, to provide a stable lift and to allow two-man lifts where previously we’d have needed three or four people using conventional jacks, which would have taken a lot longer.” An Enerpac SCJ-50 Cube Jack can lift 50 tons up to a height of 2m. It uses a base lifting frame and self-aligning, lightweight steel cribbing blocks to provide high-capacity and stabilised lifting. Here’s how it work. The incremental system mechanically locks the load as each cribbing block is manually added or removed, instead of being held by hydraulic pressure. Once the mechanical lock engages, the lift cylinder retracts, and another cribbing block can be added or removed.

“ Denby Transport’s Special Projects division recently completed the installation of a 51-ton electricity generator using Enerpac SCJ-50 cube jacks.”

Denby Transport said that replacing traditional wooden cribbing with the cube jacks allowed a quicker and safer generator installation. As a company, Enerpac says it is more than familiar with providing equipment for the challenges of industry. A key role for Enerpac Enerpac hydraulic cylinders are set to have a key role in the final construction of the ITER fusion tokamak reactor in 2024. On completion of assembly of the tokamak’s vacuum vessel sectors, nine cylinders now pre-installed at the bottom of the machine will lift a 11m diameter, 320t, circular poloidal magnet (PF6) into position at the base of the tokamak. The ITER tokamak hosts the fusion reaction in which plasma particles collide and release energy at temperatures up to 150M° C. To prevent the plasma touching any of the tokamak walls and disrupting the reaction, magnetic confinement is used with a combination of large circular toroidal and poloidal magnets. Six ring-shaped poloidal field coils are positioned around the vessel to shape the plasma and contribute to its stability by “pinching” it away from the walls. A PF6 magnet is situated at the bottom of vessel on temporary supports while the ITER tokamak is constructed above it, after which it will be completely enclosed and unreachable by crane. The poloidal magnet ring will be raised in stages while resting on nine temporary supports each equipped with an Enerpac 100 ton capacity, customised HCL1008 hydraulic cylinder connected to the EVO synchronised lifting system. Nine hydraulic cylinders are connected to a standard EVO Synchronous Lifting Pump operated using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), enabling each of the nine lifting points to be monitored and controlled by a single operator. The EVO pump maintains accurate positional control within 1 mm between lagging and leading cylinders and includes built-in warning and stop alarms for optimum safety. www.denbytransport.co.uk www.enerpac.com 35

SUPPORTING THE FIRST LOWCARBON HEATING & COOLING NETWORK A new innovative low carbon energy network, developed by SmartParc supported by Veolia, is set to cut carbon emissions for food manufacturing by 30,000 tonnes per year at the flagship SmartParc site near Derby. It is home to the UK’s first ever low-carbon food manufacturing community, covering 186,000 m2 (2 million square feet).

ost food manufacturers have a requirement for both heating and cooling to support their storage, processing, space heating, and hygiene activities. SmartParc’s energy sharing infrastructure aims to utilise wind and solar initially, combined with central services, to deliver sustainable food production. To support both these aims the new scheme incorporates industrial ammonia chillers and heat pumps, and the resultant energy will be supplied through a 9.8km district cooling infrastructure. This is designed to deliver a diversified cold glycol cooling duty of 11MW at -6°C and, by capturing the waste heat from the refrigeration plant, will provide hot water capability of up to 10MW at 72°C across the park. The cooling system is anticipated to provide an annual CO2e saving of around 27,000 tonnes between 2024 and 2030. By capturing process heat, the heating network will deliver a further CO2e saving of 3,500 tonnes per year, with potential to double this, when compared to gas boilers. A further environmental benefit comes from the

use of ammonia refrigerant in the network, which has a zero global warming potential compared to equivalent synthetic hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant systems. Veolia designed the pipe network, and will operate the entire heating, cooling and high voltage distribution across the 155-acre site on behalf of SmartParc, including managing metering and billing, and provide 24/7 year-round engineering support. Commenting on this latest project, John Abraham, Chief Operating Officer - Industrial, Water & Energy for UK, Ireland and Nordics said: “Reducing the carbon footprint of food production is of key importance as we advance to net zero. By collaborating with food manufacturers we can identify and implement new innovative solutions that both support essential food production, and deliver major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. “Veolia’s work on this new state-of -the-art site highlights what can be achieved today, takes another significant step towards achieving ecological transformation, and helps further protect the environment for future generations.”

DISTRICT HEATING

“ The flagship SmartParc site near Derby is home to the UK’s first ever low-carbon food manufacturing community, covering 186,000 m2 (2 million square feet), the system serving the new business campus will use the latest technologies to deliver the essential cooling and heating.”

BATTERY-BASED ENERGY

WORLD-FIRST ELECTRIC TOURING CAR RACING CHAMPIONSHIP Atlas Copco will power the world’s first national fully electric touring car championship. Until now, touring car racing has taken place with petrol-engine cars. But in 2024, that’s about to change, as the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (STCC) will become the first national racing series in the world to compete with electric touring cars. Key to enabling this transformation are Atlas Copco ZBC battery-based energy storage systems, which will be used to recharge the electric cars.

candinavia is well known for its efforts to combat climate change and countries in the region have set strict regulations to reduce emissions, particularly in city centres. STCC’s move to use fully electric cars will enable the racing to become more sustainable as well as allow the competition to take part in cities, which is an exciting prospect for the sport and its spectators. “There is a huge energy transition going on globally and a shift towards using electric power rather than fossil fuels, and the motorsport industry is no different,” says Micke Bern, CEO at STCC. “However, racing electric touring cars is very different to driving electric consumer cars. A major challenge we faced in electrifying STCC was that there was no concept. We needed new cars and new ways to power them, and to find trusted partners that could help us to achieve our dreams.” Atlas Copco has a long history in efficient and reliable power supply and is renowned globally for its expertise in advanced energy solutions.

STCC was aware of the company’s innovative energy storage systems and turned to Atlas Copco for support. The ambitious project consisted of developing mobile energy units to recharge the new racing cars, eliminating fuel consumption in the process and reducing the environmental impact. Going electric A vital part of racing electric cars is being able to supply them with energy and recharge the batteries quickly and efficiently while meeting emission regulations. “We wanted the transition to be as sustainable as possible, and to use battery-based units rather than diesel generators,” explains Micke. “The chosen energy system needed to be able to manage energy coming from different sources, like renewables, and deliver it as required to ensure the touring cars had enough power for the races.” “STCC reviewed various solutions, but Atlas Copco offered the right package for them, both

“Two mobile energy stations, with two ZBC 250-575 energy storage systems each, have been used to recharge the electric racing cars used in these demonstrations. The latest demonstration took place during STCC’s closing event this year in Mantorp, and showcased the new CUPRA Born and the Tesla Model 3.”

in terms of capacity and mobility,” comments Torbjörn Håkansson, Owner and CEO of SMT Sweden, Atlas Copco’s distributor in the region. Touring car racing uses a high level of energy, so the power banks needed to be able to handle a lot of energy coming into the system for storage as well as energy going out to the charger for the cars. “Capacity was vital for us,” comments Micke. “The cars have 45 kWh and 800V batteries, and each session uses about 360 kWh. There are typically two sessions per day and four sessions in a regular race weekend. For city events, with head-to-head racing, the format is slightly different, and less energy is used. However, in metropolitan areas, it is particularly crucial to avoid greenhouse gas emissions during the events.” The storage systems also needed to be able to be easily moved between each of the races and be ready to start on arrival. “We worked closely with STCC to fully understand their requirements, and recommended the ZBC 250-575 model, which has a rated power of 250kVA, storage capacity of 575kWh, and they are easy to use and install. We designed a mobile energy station, putting two units on a trailer and matching the specifics of the racing cars’ recharging process,” Fredrik Alund, Business Line Manager at Atlas Copco. The ZBC energy storage systems deliver high performance for applications that require a significant flow of electrical energy. These units incorporate innovative high-density lithium-ion batteries. They can provide over 12 hours of power from a single charge and can be fully charged in just three hours, depending on the application. Additionally, the inclusion of advanced battery technology means they are more compact and lightweight compared with traditional alternatives, and are therefore highly mobile. They can be easily transported between races. Furthermore, when working in island mode, these energy storage systems offer emission-free operations (critical for city centre applications), providing resilient and sustainable energy on demand and significant savings. During 2023, there have been various demonstration shows where STCC has presented the new electric cars and proven the technology. Two mobile energy stations, with two ZBC 250-575 energy storage systems each, have been used to recharge the electric racing cars used in these demonstrations. www.atlascopco.com NOV./DEC. 2023 UK POWER NEWS

She describes her role as “Managing the innovation pipeline process and supporting people across UKAEA to develop innovation opportunities wherever they arise”. Guest Speaker: Andy Green ‘Fastest Man on Earth’ Green is the current holder of the world land speed record, and the first person to break the sound barrier on land. On 25 September 1997 in ThrustSSC he beat the previous record in Black Rock Desert, US, reaching a speed of 714.144 miles per hour (1,149.303 km/h). On 15 October 1997, 50 years and 1 day after the sound barrier was broken in aerial flight by Chuck Yeager, Green reached 763.035 miles per hour (1,227.986 km/h), the first supersonic record (Mach 1.016). His call sign was “Dead Dog”. As the vehicle crossed the speed of sound it created a sonic boom. He is now working on a new record attempt to break the 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h) mark with Bloodhound LSR. His next land speed attempt was intended to be for MG in a specially modified MG F called the MG EX255; however, due to the time required for modifications, the project did not finish on time and that attempt never happened. Andy Green’s most recent challenge Andy Green’s most recent challenge was the driving of the JCB Dieselmax car, attempting to take the Diesel Land Speed Record over 300 mph (480 km/h). Having tested the vehicle on his own RAF base, Wittering, on 22 August 2006, he broke the previous record of 236 miles per hour (380 km/h) (set in August 1973), after attaining an average speed of 328.767 miles per hour (529.099 km/h) during two runs on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Twenty four hours later, Green broke his own record, achieving a speed of 350.092 miles per hour (563.418 km/h) on 23 August 2006. He qualified as a fighter pilot on F-4 Phantom and Tornado F3 aircraft. In 2003 Green was promoted to Wing Commander. He later became Officer Commanding Operations Wing at RAF Wittering near Peterborough. Green was the captain of the RAF team at the Cresta Run, where he used an experimental French toboggan. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1998 New Year Honours and was awarded the Segrave Trophy by the Royal Automobile Club in 1997. In 2006 he was awarded the John Cobb Trophy by the British Racing Drivers’ Club for “a success of outstanding character” and an Honorary degree from Staffordshire University in July 2008.

FLEXIBLE ENERGY DEMAND IS CRITICAL, BOTH FOR THIS WINTER AND FOR NET ZERO Managing energy demand flexibly is absolutely critical, both for this winter and for net zero, says the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE). Ofgem has approved the return of the Demand Flexibility Service (DFS), an essential tool that helped ensure security of supply last winter and saw over 1.6 million homes and businesses rewarded for adjusting their non-essential energy demand. The DFS is expected to launch in late October/early November and works by paying members for turning down their electricity use during times of peak demand on the electricity system. It was first launched last winter in response to fears over gas shortages and has been reintroduced to help National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) manage the energy system in a safe and secure fashion. There will be several test events so that customers can be sure they will have a chance to participate and earn rewards of up to £3 per kilowatt hour, depending on provider offerings.

Sarah Honan, Flexibility Policy Manager at the ADE, said: “Demand flexibility is not merely an additional support for our energy system in times of stress, it is the only way we can reach net zero in a timely and cost-effective manner. The DFS is a major step towards that future, where wind and solar generation are not turned off in favour of carbon-intensive gas power, but instead, demand from households and businesses is used flexibly to meet the peaks and troughs of renewable generation. The Centre for Net Zero found that 81% of surveyed Octopus Energy customers who participated last year would be interested in increasing their demand, or ‘turning up’ electricity use to avoid renewable curtailment. “The ADE has been closely involved in the development of the DFS since its inception and we hope this year can build on the success of last winter, when participants delivered enough energy to power 10 million+ homes across the UK. We especially hope to see increased participation from UK companies.

ECO-FRIENDLY 4-STROKE ENGINE FUELLED BY AMMONIA NOW AVAILABLE A four-stroke engine-based using ammonia fuel was recently released by Wärtsilä - this is now commercially available. The project is said to be the first commercially available four-stroke enginebased solution for ammonia fuel. This ammonia-fuelled product is part of the Wärtsilä 25 engine platform. The Wärtsilä 25 Ammonia solution can immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 70% compared to a similar-sized diesel solution, the company noted, meeting current EU targets until 2050 and even exceeding the IMO target for 2040, says the company. Because ammonia is still a relatively new fuel, especially on four-stroke engines, the full solution includes an AmmoniaPac, a fuel gas supply system for storing and managing ammonia fuel. The Wärtsilä Ammonia Release Mitigation System (WARMS); and the Wärtsilä NOx Reducer (NOR) for optimal exhaust aftertreatment are provided with the engine. The ammonia-fuelled engine uses the same base engine as the Wärtsilä 25, with only a limited number of differing components. This means existing engines will be convertible to ammonia use with minor modifications. Roger Holm, president of Wärtsilä’s Marine Power business, commented: “The ammonia solution is based on Wärtsilä’s well-proven LNG system, from which we have gained invaluable experience. The Wärtsilä 25 engine has been designed for easy adoption of sustainable fuels, and now, in addition to its previous capability of operating on diesel, LNG or on gas or liquid carbon-neutral biofuels, we are proud to add ammonia to its specifications. This makes Wärtsilä 25 a thoroughly future-proof engine platform which combines operational efficiency with environmental sustainability.” www.wartsila.com

MAJOR TUNNEL PROJECT GETS NEW GENSETS

CGM, the genset manufacturer, has supplied 7.3-MVA of continuous power to one of Europe’s largest construction projects, the Fehmarn Belt tunnel. This is an immersed tunnel, which will connect the Danish island of Lolland with the German island of Fehmarn, crossing the 18-kilometre-wide (11 mi) Fehmarn Belt in the Baltic Sea. It will utlimately provide a direct link between northern Germany and Lolland, and from there to the Danish island of Zealand and Copenhagen, becoming the world’s longest road and rail tunnel. The tunnel will be a major connection between central Europe and Scandinavia.. Twenty gensets has been provided for the spreader pontoons used to precisely distribute sediment for land reclamation, and for the protection layer pontoon, which is used to install sheet metal on the seabed. The new gensets powering the construction operations are based on 100-kVA FPT Industrial engines certified for EU Stage 5 emissions regulations.
