More than 22 million diesel engines have rolled off company production lines

TECHNOLOGY ENSURES MAXIMUM UPTIME FOR GENSETS

Perkins Engines Company Limited celebrates 90 years of being in business. During the company’s lifetime, more than 22 million diesel engines have rolled off our production lines, initially from the UK, and now from manufacturing facilities on four continents.

Around the world, more than 3 million generators are powered by Perkins’ 5-2500 kVA engine range. Many feature the Perkins® 4000 Series, which is designed for standby and prime electricity generation. With models from 6 to 16 cylinders, diesel models achieve regulated and unregulated emissions standards globally.

A company spokesman commented: “By working in collaboration with over 800 original equipment manufacturers in the agricultural, construction, electric power generation, industrial and materials handling industries, we tailor our engines to meet their needs and exacting standards. With eight stateof-the-art manufacturing facilities, we ensure all our engines meet the same quality standards in every location. Supported by a global distribution network and digital aftermarket solutions, we work to deliver power and service to serve our customers. With more than 22 million engines manufactured powering over 5,000 different applications across the world, our engines truly are the heart of great machines.”

Perkins is also proud to report that its Aurangabad facility has achieved a major milestone after its 10,000th 4000 Series engine rolled off it own dedicated production line. Initially built to meet customer demand across Asia for the complete range of 750 to 2500 kVA 4000 Series engines, the state-of-theart production facility now serves Perkins’ customers around the world.

Located at the Shendra Industrial Estate in Aurangabad, India, equipment powered by Perkins Aurangabad built engines currently generate reliable power solutions for hospitals, airports, universities, real estate, data centres and large manufacturing industries.The 10,000th engine to come off the line was a 4012; one of 530 different variants that can be produced on the manufacturing line, which first started production in October 2015. “We are overjoyed to have achieved this important milestone,” said Jawed Ahmed, facility manager. “These engines are meeting our customers’ needs in the field and are a testimony to the hard work and dedication of our employees at Aurangabad.”

Biomass boiler project reduces environmental impact for UK company

A £1m upgrade of the biomass heating systems at Hill’s Panel Products is currently taking place at the company’s Oldham HQ in the UK. The company was one of the first businesses to join the government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) program- set up to minimise the effects of climate change - when it was launched almost 10 years ago.

The scheme works by rewarding firms with financial support when they employ renewable energy technologies.

The work to install two new, more powerful and efficient boilers, and associated extractors, has already started and the state-of-the-art system is expected to be fully operational later in the autumn. The new installations will combine to work in the same way as the existing biomass systems, which reduce HPP’s carbon footprint by collecting wood waste via an extraction system. It is then stored in huge silos to fuel boilers heating production warehouses, in addition to supplying heat needed for the manufacturing process.

HPP’s Marketing and Business Development Director, Dan Mounsey, comments: “Our infrastructure was ageing so we wanted to update it for greener, more efficient options. These new boilers will reduce our carbon footprint to the point that we don’t use any fossil fuels to heat those warehouses at all.

“The big difference between old and new is the new feature ceramic filters that extract exhaust gases before they leave the boiler. It means the emissions are much lower, which is better for the environment, while creating more heat output.”

Contaminated fuel can be a major issue for power generation businesses and operators, explains FuelActive.

Unplanned downtime can be disruptive and costly in any sector, but for power generation in particular, it can be critical.

Genquip Groundhog provide a wide range of welfare accommodation units to the construction sector. Whether mobile or static, the onboard generator is a crucial component of a welfare unit set-up, ensuring cabins have an uninterrupted supply of power whenever required.

Like many operators and service providers, Genquip Groundhog experienced significant problems with fuel contamination through poor quality fuel delivery, inadequate cleanliness during refuelling and unreliable operator practices.

Fuel contamination can quickly lead to fuel filter blockages, premature injector wear and generator failure. This in turn results in unplanned downtime, increased maintenance costs and an unsatisfactory service for customers.

Based in Cardiff, FuelActive invented an innovative floating fuel pick-up system, avoiding contamination that overwhelmingly is found at the bottom of the tank.

This globally-patented system delivers the cleanest fuel available to the engine, preserving critical engine components. This is particularly important for stage V engines which have particularly low tolerances to contamination.

As a ‘fit-and-forget’ technology, there is no maintenance requirement once installed and any contamination and water that collects at the bottom of the tank can be drained during routine servicing.

FuelActive products have a standard five-year warranty and have been proven on a wide range of equipment, from 6kVA Generators to 400t haul trucks at 4 Megawatts.

The versatile system is compatible with all fuel types including HVO and can be installed on generators, mobile fuel bowsers (fuelcubes) and bulk tanks.

Having trialled the pick-up on several power generators, Genquip Groundhog decided to install FuelActive on all of its dieselpowered units.

“We’ve fitted FuelActive as standard for about 10 years now and since that time, the company has accumulated more than 10 million operating hours across the fleet with zero fuel-related breakdowns,” said Peter Beach, Sales and Marketing Manager at Genquip Groundhog.

Newcastle International Airport’s solar project is key

Vital Energi has begun work on the construction of Phase 1 of Newcastle International Airport’s solar farm project which will begin generating clean energy by early 2023.

Earlier this year, planning permission was secured for a total of four phases, providing in the region of 16MW of energy.

Phase 1 will provide approximately 3MW.This first phase will be a £3.6m investment, of which 50% is funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The start of the project marks a major milestone in the Airport’s ambitious strategy to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2035, ahead of the majority of airports across

Europe which have plans to become Net Zero before 2050, and ahead of the Government’s Jet Zero strategy target of 2040. The site for the scheme is situated on Airport owned land to the south of the eastern end of the Airport runway.

The scheme will include areas of tree planting to screen the view of the solar farm from the surrounding roads and public rights of way.

Approval for RES Drum Farm Energy Storage Project in Scotland unanimously

The UK could be exploiting more geothermal energy

The UK has a potential heat output of 100GW of geothermal energy, up to 2.2GW of which could be developed by 2030 This represents about 15% of the UK’s 2020 renewable heat target. Geothermal energy is a source of low-carbon, homegrown, renewable energy. It is available throughout the UK and can provide heat or power all year long independent of weather conditions.

powerful and abundant renewable on Earth,” explains Araque, “much more so than wind, solar, nuclear, and all fossil fuels combined.”

Araque was joined by Kathy Hannun, co-founder and president of Dandelion Energy, a company whose aim it to use geothermal energy to heat and cool residential homes.

RES has received planning consent to build a new energy storage project in north east Scotland following Moray Council’s Planning and Regulatory Services Committee decision to unanimously approve the scheme, in line with the case officer’s recommendation.

Drum Farm Energy Storage System is situated on land at Drum Farm, near Keith in Moray, Scotland. The new 49.9 MW facility will store electricity at times when generation exceeds demand, and release electricity back to the grid network when demand exceeds generation. It will facilitate the deployment of new wind, solar and other renewables which will be central to achieving the Government’s net zero commitments as well as enabling more energy to be generated domestically, improving security of supply.

Alan McMahon, Head of Energy Storage at RES, comments: “Energy storage is an essential part of the UK’s future energy system and will be crucial in enabling the rollout of zero and low carbon energy. We are very pleased with Moray Council’s decision which allows Drum Farm Energy Storage System to play its part in supporting the UK’s net-zero emissions target while ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the grid network.”

Drum Farm Storage System has been specifically located as close as possible to the existing Keith electrical substation where the project will connect to the wider grid network. The project, which includes an upgrade to the adjacent Core Path, has been designed to include planting of new native trees, hedgerows and wildflower grass areas which will not only reduce potential visibility of the scheme but also help to enhance biodiversity by providing wildlife corridors and vital resources for mammals, birds, and insect species.

An attenuation basin, as well as allowing safe and contained storage for excess rain and storm water, could deliver significant opportunities for further biodiversity net gain.

Employing over 100 people in Scotland alone, RES has developed and/or constructed 21 wind farms with a total generation capacity of 597MW. RES also operates its Global Control Centre providing 24/7/365 monitoring for assets across the planet from its offices in Glasgow.

One of the first to enter the battery storage market, RES says it is driven by the potential of the technology to enable more renewables on the grid and create a smarter energy system. Since then the company has established itself as one of the world’s leading energy storage technology integrators, according to global rankings.

RES reports it has the real-world experience of delivering over 300MW of projects across nine electricity markets. It offers behind-the-meter solutions for corporate and industrial clients looking to integrate storage with onsite solar while RES maintains a solar + storage programme itself.

Broxburn is one of RES’s best-known Energy Storage Project s. This is a 20MW project in West Lothian, Scotland, developed and built by RES and commissioned in 2018. Capable of responding in sub-second timescales, it balances electricity demand and supply across the network to maintain a stable frequency. The first of its kind in Scotland, the battery provides Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR) services and plays an essential part in National Grid’s ongoing move to a more flexible energy network for the UK. The use of energy storage at strategic points on the network will allow for a greater penetration of renewables and avoid costly grid upgrades, leading to cost benefits for all consumers.

RES Energy storage projects include our proprietary energy management system, RESolve. Developed in-house by RES experts, this state-of-the-art software has been proven to maximise potential revenue streams for clients.

RESolve has been deployed in 10 different electricity markets, functioning in 21 different ways to generate revenue. This opens up a world of opportunity for solar plus storage or standalone projects. One of the key strengths of the software is its flexibility, adapting to a variety of system architectures and enabling modular updates to account for changing market conditions and new opportunities to supply services. RESolve is also built to deliver portfolio or fleet level integration to support owners of multiple projects.

Last month RES announced the sale of Aberarder Wind Farm to SSE Renewables. The 12-turbine project located in Strathnairn, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands has a consented capacity of 49.9 MW.

Aberarder Wind Farm is located directly adjacent to the operational 94 MW Dunmaglass Wind Farm, a project that was also developed by RES.

Aberarder received planning consent in 2017 and once complete the wind farm will contribute to a more secure and diverse energy supply for Scotland and the UK.

It currently delivers less than 0.3% of the UK’s annual heat demand, using only a fraction of the estimated available geothermal heat resource. There is the potential to increase this proportion significantly, but this will require long-term government support to develop a route to market and overcome high upfront capital costs and geological development risks.

At the SOSV Climate Tech Summit 2022, held last October, Carlos Araque of Quaise Energy revealed that his company is developing a unique drilling technique to reach the hot rock some two to 12 miles beneath the Earth’s surface.

“In addition to being clean and global, geothermal provides a baseload energy source that’s available 24/7, even if it’s cloudy out or there’s no wind. It’s also the most

Araque believes that by the end of the decade Quaise will create power from a coal- or gas-fired power plant which has been converted to geothermal.

“You feed in geothermal steam instead of steam from a fossilfuel boiler. That in a brushstroke decarbonises the power plant, and you can repeat that 10,000 times over with other plants.

“You leverage the oil and gas industry,” says Araque. “I think of them as a ready-made workforce, supply chain, and regulatory framework.that can push this into the world at the scale that’s required.”

Kathy Hannun, co-founder and president of Dandelion Energy said: “It’s hard to advance our building stock and change all of the buildings that already exist to geothermal because]they’re all slightly different and there’s a lot of complexity to manage.”

Feed coffee grounds to microalgae and you get low emission biodiesel

Around 98 million cups of coffee are drunk each day in the UK, contributing to a vast amount of used coffee grounds which must be processed as general waste, often ending up in landfill or incineration.

However the researchers at Aston University discovered that waste coffee grounds provide both nutrients to feed, and a structure on which the microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris sp.) can grow.

Dr. Vesna Najdanovic senior lecturer in chemical engineering and Dr .Jiawei Wang were were involved with the team which cultivated algae which was then processed into fuel. As a result, they were able to extract enhanced biodiesel that produces minimal emissions and good engine performance, and meets US and

European specifications.

The research paper “Enhancing growth environment for attached microalgae to populate onto spent coffee grounds in producing biodiesel,” appears in the November 2022 issue of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.

“There is no reason to doubt that one day our generators might be run on biodiesel derived from some of the tons of coffee waste typically discarded every day in the UK,” commented one industry analyst.

New 7MW gas peaking project in Somerset has already gone live

Biomass company helps the UK reduce Greenhouse gas

Edina UK Ltd is behind a 7MW gas peaking project recently completed in Somerset using MWM engines. Gas-fired peaking plants, often known as peak-lopping or peaker plants, are power plants designed to balance the fluctuating power requirement in the electricity network and operate during periods of high level demand for electricity or shortfalls of electricity supply.

This demand and supply variation is due to the increase in renewable energy sources (wind and solar) connected to the electricity grid as part of the UK’s effort to cut CO2 emissions. As such, these intermittent and unpredictable renewable sources of power pose a risk to increased fluctuations in energy supply.

The Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) recent report published and updated in 2019 by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy states that renewables’ share of UK generation was at a record level of 33.0% up from 29.2% in 2017. This has grown significantly since 2000 when renewable generation was just 2.6% Peak-lopping power plants provide important balancing services where weather conditions prevent output either when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun isn’t shining. Peaking plants address this imbalance and reduce stress on the electricity grid, providing power stability – to potentially avoid blackouts and maintain the security of electricity supply. Unlike base load power plants, reserve peak-lopping plants operate in standby mode when not in use and are called to operate by the electricity grid when there is a demand to supply electricity.

Offshore wind in the Celtic Sea approches gigawatt scale

Equinor has released its plans for developing gigawatt scale floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea, in view of the upcoming Celtic Sea floating wind seabed leasing round.

Regarded as a pioneer in floating offshore wind, as the developer and soon to be operator of two of the world’s first floating offshore wind farms, Equinor is keen to develop new floating opportunities in the Celtic Sea.

The Crown Estate has already scheduled a seabed leasing round in the Celtic Sea in 2023.

The purpose of the Celtic Sea seabed leasing scheme is to facilitate the development of the floating offshore wind industry in the UK and encourage investments in the UK supply chain.

Catherine Maloney, Head of Business Development, UK Offshore Wind, commented: “Equinor has been operating in the UK for nearly 40 years and we are

delighted to see new and exciting opportunities emerging in the Celtic Sea.

“Our team is working hard to mature our plans in Wales and South West England, as engagement with local communities is critical to Equinor’s project development of offshore wind.”

She explains: “Equinor is highly experienced in developing floating wind: it has installed the world’s first floating wind turbine, the world’s first floating offshore wind farm and is now building the world’s largest floating wind farm.”

She concludes: “We are committed to industrialising floating offshore wind and the Celtic Sea is an optimal region for further development of this important technology.”

More than 630,000 tonn of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions were avoided in the UK in 2021 thanks to the efforts of Esken Renewables.

This conclusion was recently published in a report undertaken by Logica Consultants.

Esken Renewables receives waste wood from the construction industry and household waste and recycling centres which would otherwise be sent to landfill where it would release methane gas over time.

Esken takes that waste wood to instead produce biomass fuel and last year treated and supplied 1.1 million tonnes of it to biomass plant customers - helping the UK to avoid GHG emissions equivalent to taking 135,746 cars off the road.

Including other types of biomass, Esken Renewables supplied 1.4m tonnes of fuel which its biomass

plant customers used to generate an estimated 1,880,000 MWh of electricity. This represents 2% of the UK’s domestic energy use and is sufficient to power around 650,000 homes.

Compared with using gas-fired turbines creating power through biomass plants means the UK was able to avoid 714,000 tonnes of GHG emissions in 2021 from fossil fuels.

The combined GHG emissions savings of avoiding waste wood going to landfill and using it to generate renewable energy meant that the UK avoided around 1.344MTCO2e in FY22.

Richard Jenkins, Chief Executive, Esken Renewables comments: “We are immensely proud of our role in the UK circular economy and our contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as methane.”

Hydrogen is the way forward for the UK says the North West Hydrogen Alliance

The North West Hydrogen Alliance (NWHA) is urging the UK government to accelerate the use of hydrogen as an alternative heating source for homes, as the nation faces the challenge of reducing emissions from buildings and securing energy supplies over the winter.

Decarbonising domestic heat is one of the biggest challenges facing the UK as it looks to deliver on its net zero commitments.

Heat is responsible for almost half of UK final energy demand and buildings are re sponsible for nearly 20% of all UK emissions.

In the latest report - ‘Hydrogen Heat in the North West’ - the NWHA states that using hydrogen for heating could cut average household emissions by 2.4 tonnes of CO2 each year, reducing residents’ carbon foot print by 35%.

In the North West, if just 50% of the region’s homes used hydrogen heating, this would save three millions tonnes of CO2 each year.

The North West region is home to the leading hydrogen and carbon capture project HyNet North West, which will deliver amongst the lowest cost CO2 transport and storage infrastructure in the UK by extensively repurposing existing onshore and offshore assets.

The project can deliver nearly 40% of the government’s new national 2030 target for low carbon hydrogen production. Able to benefit from the existing regional technical

skill base in engineering, chemicals production, refining and offshore oil and gas, HyNet North West is planning to be operational from 2025.

The North West is already making significant strides in developing a hydrogen economy. Whitby in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire has been shortlisted to be the first UK Hydrogen Village, which would see around 2,000 homes move to 100% hydrogen.

Cadent, British Gas and Cheshire West and Chester Council, the partners in the project, recently opened a Hydrogen Experience Centre - the North West’s first hydrogen demonstration facility open to the public.

New study to assess the feasibility of green hydrogen as a planet-friendly fuel

Manufacturer helps to develop waste-to-energy concept

Peter Brotherhood of Peterborough was recently approached by one of its customers to assist in the creation of a waste-to-energy plant.

With the project being in its infancy the backing of the concept was deemed to require evidence of the ability to raise and use steam on a small scale prior to approval of the larger scale project.

A small steam turbine had already been identified by the customer to use as a proof-of-concept, however the turbine had not run for a long time and parts were missing.

At this point Peter Brotherhood provided its services for dismantling and inspecting the Skinner steam turbine to identify all repair and new spare parts requirements.

The unit was received into the Peter Brotherhood workshop for a full detailed inspection to be carried out. Following approval to proceed and receipt of all required components Peter Brotherhood’s technical team commenced the repairs and rebuilding of the unit.

coverage.The new trip and control valve components were fitted together with all new seal components allowing the unit to be finish assembled with all required dimensions and clearance data recorded.

Uniquely, Peter Brotherhood is able to offer small steam turbine repairs which are bespoke to both the individual unit and the customer’s needs, whilst providing high quality workmanship through utilising OEM engineering processes and standards.

By utilising the engineering team all repairs are covered by a full OEM warranty. Repairs carried out in the recent project included shaft refurbishment, rotor shaft replacement, reblading, provision of new componentsand bearing refurbishment/replacement. The unit will now be installed at a specific site and the trip mechanism and control system tested during the commissioning of the unit. This will happen once the remainder of the plant is erected and fully commissioned.

EON and a consortium of industry partners, academics and local authorities are jointly launching a new study to assess the feasibility of green hydrogen as a planet-friendly fuel for power generation using renewable sources in industry and supporting the transition to a cleaner economy.

The initial feasibility study, funded by the Department Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and its Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP), will be based at E.ON’s Blackburn Meadows renewable energy park. It will explore the potential of generating hydrogen from biomass which can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels in South Yorkshire’s energy intensive steel industry.

Project partners include major industry near the Blackburn Meadows site, with strong interest from steelmakers in testing the use of hydrogen as a way of switching away from natural gas in heating and forging processes. They include Forgemasters and Forged Solutions, working alongside Chesterfield Special Cylinders and supported by Glass Futures and the AMRC/University of Sheffield.

Michael Lewis, E.ON UK CEO, said: “Hydrogen will play a significant role in our energy future, mainly powering energy-intensive industries and long-distance transport. It sits alongside the drive for heat pumps meeting domestic heating needs and a greater role for district energy schemes in urban areas.

“Our Blackburn Meadows plant is the perfect example of a range of technologies coming together to provide a solution for an entire city and generating green hydrogen for Sheffield’s world-renowned steelmakers means an economic win for them, greater security of their energy supplies as well as better air quality for the city and accelerating Sheffield’s energy transition to net zero.”

Cllr Mazher Iqbal, Co-Chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee, at Sheffield City Council, said: “Sheffield City Council are delighted to hear that E.ON’s application to BEIS’s Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator has been successful. Sheffield has a target to reach net zero by 2030. Emissions from our industrial and commercial sector make up about 28% of the city’s overall emissions and we’re encouraged by E.ON’s proposal to generate green hydrogen here in Sheffield.

“The funding they’ve now secured will build the knowledge and commercial business case of using hydrogen to support the decarbonisation of our steel industry and help futureproof their energy security.”

He concludes: “We recognise the significant investment that E.ON has already made in the city to deliver a local renewable energy system facility alongside a district heat network and an industrial scale battery storage system. We look forward to supporting them during this next phase of feasibility.” and project development of their HYDESS project.”

Professor Mohamed Pourkashanian, leading the project for the University of Sheffield, said: “To reach a hydrogen economy there will be many barriers, not least in fully understanding and investigating the technical challenges faced in switching to hydrogen as a fuel, and how it will integrate into our existing infrastructure. This project takes a vital step in making this technology a reality for industrial partners.”

The rotor was balanced to ISO1940 grade G2.5 to provide a service ready rotating element, the seal and bearing housings were then aligned during the trial fit of the rotor and the bearings blued for contact pattern achieving the require percentage

“The repair was an interesting challenge for us, although we are used to carrying out these types of overhauls having a piece of equipment that was not 100% complete when it arrived in our workshop provided us with the hurdle of identifying all of the missing parts, we were able to ascertain the shortfall in items and provide genuine OEM components for the rebuild.”

commented Lee Oliver, Aftermarket Manager, Peter Brotherhood.

UK’s first geothermal business wins funding as part of Net Zero Open Innovation Programme

CeraPhi Energy, based in Great Yarmouth, has been awarded funding as part of the Net Zero Technology Centre’s 2022 Open Innovation Programme.

The programme, aimed at developing technology which will reduce emissions offshore, accelerate clean energy production and enable delivery of the UK’s net zero ambitions, was launched in early 2022 with successful finalists announced last month.

The award and subsequent funding will enable CeraPhi Energy to focus on a programme of work demonstrating how oil and gas

liabilities can be repurposed into geothermal assets for net zero targets with the project expected to start by the end of 2022, Karl Farrow, CEO of CeraPhi Energy, commented: “This is our second award from the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC)”.

“It’s a great achievement and reward for a lot of hard work.

GIVE YOUR TRANSFORMER AN EXTRA LIFE

Remote assistance for transformers is often provided in the field of energy distribution networks while it is still very new when it comes to metallurgy.

Tamini Trasformatori designs transformers for networks and steelworks. The function of the transformers for steelworks is to prevent alternating cycles of high energy stress (electric current and power).

Their operation must be continuously monitored; otherwise, there is a risk of deterioration and damage to the system.

Continuous data monitoring for preventive maintenance

Sophisticated algorithms first analyse the transformers historical data. Then a compilation of trends reveals the process status and predicts future conditions.

The data which the monitoring system is based on include: the system data (voltage, current, temperature of cooling water, etc.), and specific machine data (temperature, oil levels, alarm signals, gas content in oil, the absorption of various components, position and number of actuations of the switch, etc.). The solution calls

on advanced and smart instrumentation capable of providing data in real-time to collect these specific data from the machine.

The information that is gathered and appropriately processed allows for evaluation of the transformer performance together with the actions to be taken to optimise operation.

As a second step, the system enables Tamini Service personnel to take remote action and provide real-time support to the customer/user. Also, alarm thresholds can be defined by the Tamini specialists.

In transformer operating conditions, if the pre-alarm threshold is exceeded, notifications are automatically generated and sent to Tamini Service personnel, who take timely and proactive action to solve the problem.

In most cases, interventions can be done remotely, which drastically save time and costs relating to onsite travels.

MQTT is a very lightweight and reliable protocol that is catching on, thanks to the arrival of the Internet of Things.

The protocol is much appreciated as it guarantees data transfer even when connections are not entirely stable.

A successful IIoT project

Tamini has gained several advantages by implementing such remote monitoring and control system.

For starters, there is an opportunity to offer customers the possibility to continuously monitor their transformers with obvious improvements in preventive maintenance, transformer lifetime, and cost optimisation.

The real-time control of operating data enables a whole set of functionalities that provides energy efficiency. eWON Flexy’s versatility in interfacing with the field and the cloud has brought simplicity and performance to the system architecture.

The use of the MQTT protocol to transfer data has simplified communication and guaranteed lightness and stability in line with IoT directives.

SIX GAS-POWERED CHP ENGINES FOR NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

The Series 4000 CHP systems are destined for the Rhodesia Power project in north Nottinghamshire, a 10 MWe gas generation and carbon capture plant which will support the national grid (and potentially local businesses) and convert the captured carbon into food grade CO2.

The new Series 4000 natural gas genset is said to offer the highest power density in its class. Designed with cutting-edge technology, the new Series 4000 natural gas genset is optimised for maximum performance and low emissions to deliver an economical, reliable, and sustainable source of power.

A significant reduction in nitrous oxide emissions makes the natural gas genset a perfect fit for independent power producers (IPP) and combined heat and power (CHP) applications.

With part-load performance down to 35% and a fast start option, the gas genset’s operational flexibility is also ideal for demand response applications. Low emissions - 250 mg/Nm³, 500mg/Nm³, (@5% O2)NOx – are achieved without external aftertreatment, even meeting the

new expected German unburned THC emissions legislation (<1300mg@5%O2).

The natural gas genset has an effective engine power of 130 kWm/cylinder – the highest power density in its class thanks to its compact design and small footprint. It offers superb performance at high temperatures and high humidity for use anywhere in the world and delivers 30% more power than its predecessor.

All natural gas genset components are finetuned to ensure long service life and deliver maximum uptime. Long service intervals and easy-to-maintain components mean low maintenance costs. Fast availability of spare parts and low engine oil consumption also help keep the new gas genset lifecycle costs lower overall, with cylinder head lifetimes potentially equivalent to TBO.

The natural gas genset achieves efficiencies of up to 44.4%, delivering a significant improvement in fuel/energy utilisation at high temperatures. The gas-powered Series 4000 gives you more power in less space while reducing fuel and maintenance costs, especially

EASTBOURNE HOSPITAL IN KEY ENERGY UPGRADE

Delivered through Veolia’s Building a Zero Carbon Future programme, with funding provided through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme for affordable, low carbon energy efficiency upgrades across the public sector, the scheme is one of the first to to take a whole building approach.

This utilises a holistic approach that accounts for how facilities and the energy delivery systems interact with each other, while maintaining an indoor environment that enhances patient care.

A secure energy supply is essential to maintain a modern patient care environment for the hospital which has 457 beds and treats more than 470,000 patients per year.

To meet this energy demand and achieve carbon and energy cost savings Veolia will manage projects covering the design, delivery, and installation of a range of energy upgrades. These will guarantee the hospital meets the NHS carbon reduction targets for 2030 and is

supported by a 24/7 operations and maintenance contract.

The energy plant upgrades include desteaming the site, solar arrays giving a total of 1.1MWp renewable electricity, improved ventilation systems, and a dual stage heat pump system to supply 3.2 MWth of low carbon heat with N+1 redundancy that gives system availability in the event of component failure.

To ensure that this heat is efficiently used the project covers fitting of 17,300m2 of insulated roofing, replacing older single glazed windows with 4,540m2 of high efficiency double glazing, and 12,972 m2 of insulating cladding.

Commenting on this latest development, John Abraham, Chief Operating Officer - Veolia UK & Ireland - Industrial, Water & Energy said:

“Using the whole holistic building approach is part of our Building a Zero Carbon Future programme, and is key to advancing healthcare energy efficiency, cutting carbon emissions and

and providing cost savings which can be redirected to patient care. By targeting annual carbon savings of 4,129 tonnes, we are actively supporting the NHS decarbonisation programme and delivering lower cost energy for the healthcare sector.

“We look forward to working with the teams at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust and helping them achieve their environmental goals.”

Chris Hodgson, Director of Estates and Facilities at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, said: “This project will make a significant contribution to the trust’s goals to reduce our organisational carbon footprint. As well as the significant carbon savings that the project will deliver, the additional cladding and insulation to the hospital will create a more comfortable environment for both our patients and our staff”.

Veolia has been working with East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust since 2009, and currently provides energy and facilities management to over 100 hospitals in the UK. These support the healthcare for around 8.1 million inpatients each year, and reduce CO2 emissions in the healthcare sector by 120,000 tonnes.

In becoming the benchmark company for ecological transformation, Veolia is committed to tackle climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity collapse, and pollution.

By expanding the use of existing solutions, and developing new innovative solutions, the company is accelerating the process to radically change patterns of production and consumption and placing ecology at the heart of every process.

GREEN VILLAGE RELIES ON BIOMETHANE GAS GENSET

MWM believes there are real lessons to be learned from an innovative energy project that is currently being rolled out in Alfhausen in Germany’s Osnabrück Land region. The project demonstrates how it will be possible to implement smart, flexible heat supply in the future. Two containerised cogeneration power plants, each of which is powered by an MWM TCG 3020 V20 gas genset, form the core of the project.

The Alfhausen cogeneration power plant is the first of three biomethane district heat projects to be rolled out in the Osnabrück region.

Even before the go-live, the Alfhausen cogeneration power plant won an award as a lighthouse project for outstanding climate protection projects as part of the overall “Green Village” concept.

MWM gas gensets now form the core of the Alfhausen District Heat Network. In the autumn of 2022 the new Alfhausen cogeneration power plant will start producing heat and power for the local population.

The plant is based in Alfhausen’s new industrial zone “Am Waller Esch”, located opposite the local transformer station.

The plant makes it possible to feed the power produced by the MWM gas engines through combined heat and power (CHP) generation directly into the public power grid.

The heat generated by the gensets will be transported to the connected homes in Alfhausen through a pipeline network.

The district heat network in Alfhausen was established by Rasche & Weßler GmbH, a local company specialising in energy management and automation technology.

The concept is based on the use of biomethane as a regenerative energy source and fuel for the MWM gas gensets.

Biomethane, which is produced by treating biogas, is a renewable energy source which is capable of replacing natural gas, a fossil energy source.

The gas comes from the natural gas network of Westnetz GmbH in Osnabrück. Additionally, biogas from various biogas plants in Germany is fed into the natural gas network at another location. In this way, the natural gas becomes ‘eco-gas’, which is used as fuel for the gas gensets.

“From the start, the sustainable, trend-setting supply concept in Alfhausen has been attracting a lot of attention. In recent months, the demand for district heat network connections underwent a sharp increase. Up to 1,000 homes can be supplied through the district heat network, thanks to the cooperation with Glasfaser Nordwest.”

Apart from the new plant, the industrial zone also hosts a hot water storage tank with a capacity of approximately 2,500 m3. The water will be heated using the exhaust heat of the two MWM gas gensets and be transported to the individual homes through the district heat network. In the event of a cogeneration power plant outage or unexpected cold spells, the storage facility can be used as an additional buffer in order to continue to supply Alfhausen with heat for several days.

Deploying MWM gas gensets

The 19-km district heat network is being set up by Rasche & Weßler GmbH. The development started in 2021 and is to be ready for operation by the end of 2023.

The two TCG 3020 V20 gas gensets were delivered by Caterpillar Energy Solutions in Mannheim, Germany.

Since a TCG 3020 V20 gas genset delivers an electrical output of 2,300 kW, the cogeneration power plant has a total output of 4.6 MW.

“From the outset, we knew that we were going to deploy MWM gas gensets”, says Ralf Wessler, Managing Partner at Rasche & Weßler GmbH. “We are familiar with the technology, and we know that the large engines from Mannheim are very reliable and powerful. Another important criterion is the quick and comprehensive service provided by MWM, which guarantees high plant availability.”

From the start, the sustainable, trendsetting supply concept in Alfhausen has been attracting a lot of attention. In recent months, the demand for district heat network connections underwent a sharp increase. Up to 1,000 homes can be supplied through the district heat network. Thanks to the cooperation with Glasfaser Nordwest, it was possible to implement the district heat network without redundant construction measures. The result: a climate-friendly infrastructure.

CHP Flagship Project has a pioneering function

The overall ‘Green Village’ concept with the Alfhausen energy plant, which won an award in the ‘Klima Kommunal 2022’ contest, is the first of three CHP generation projects implemented in the vicinity of Osnabrück.

In Fürstenau, 25 km from Alfhausen, an identical district heat plant is being built and is set to go live in 2023. Another 9-MW biomethane plant is being planned just a few miles from the Alfhausen plant. www,mwm.net

THE NEW EURO 7 DIESEL ENGINES & DESTINATION

Cummins has unveiled a new Euro 7 diesel engine which reflects its Destination Zero corporate strategy. “We have to act now,” explains Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins president and CEO. “Carbon once emitted to the atmosphere can’t be taken back and we can make the greatest impact by focusing on a dual path approach. Our estimated impact of doing just that is an additional 1.4 gigatons of cumulative carbon reduction – the equivalent of removing all trucks from the road. for three years.”

Cummins says it will continue to advance its current internal combustion engine technology with further advancements in efficiency, as well as compatibility with cleaner fuels like hydrogen, biodiesel and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

The company has also made it clear it will continue to innovate zero-emissions solutions like hydrogen fuel cell and battery technology.

“We power some of the world’s most demanding and economically vital applications,” reports Rumsey.

“There is no single technology that will work for all of our customers. We must advance solutions in a way that secures a sustainable future for the industries that keep the world running. That’s why we have developed a company with the broadest range of ultra-low and zero-emission technologies dedicated to commercial industry.”

In effect, Cummins’ next-generation advanced

diesel platform, the X10, embodies a practical route to emissions reduction and decarbonisation for applications which cannot be easily switched to alternative power solutions.

The X10 is an ultralow emissions, 10-litre diesel engine. Designed to meet the Euro 7 emissions regulations, the engine is expected to be available in ratings from 235 to 331 kW (320 to 450 hp) with torque ratings up to 2300 Nm (1696 lb. ft.).

In a further development, at the recent IAA Transportation show, the world’s largest mobility show held in Hannover, Germany, Cummins showcased its fourth-generation hydrogen fuel cell engine.

Designed to meet the duty-cycle performance the fuel cell technology is available in 135 kW single and 270 kW dual modules. Scania in Europe and Daimler have each announced collaborations with Cummins to develop

and integrate these next-generation fuel cell engines. The systems use fourthgeneration variable pressure technology to provide higher power density, power nodes and and operating temperatures for easier system integration. They also have strong operating cycle efficiency and durability for a lower total cost of ownership.

“We know our customers have diverse needs and complicated duty cycles to support, which is why we focus on continued innovation and improvement,” said Amy Adams, Vice President of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technologies at Cummins.

Visitors at IAA also a drivetrain assembled with a newly introduced Cummins lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, Meritor’s 17xe ePowertrain and Meritor’s Power Control and Accessory System (PCAS). Cummins recently added the ePowertain and PCAS solutions to its portfolio through its acquisition of Meritor.

The ePowertrain leverages marketleading technologies in the axle, motor and inverter, delivering performance, efficiency and packaging advantages at a competitive cost. Additionally, the PCAS provides power where needed and control of necessary sub-systems while reducing packaging size and simplifying integration.

Cummins is adding an LFP battery to its line of lithium-ion battery products. The LFP solution gives customers access to faster charging and longer-life batteries. By using a multi-chemistry strategy, Cummins is positioned to expand its manufacturing capacity further and diversify its supply chain, providing customers with more cost-effective electrification solutions.

“We are giving customers options to enable them to adapt to a zeroemissions future faster,” comments Brian Wilson, General Manager of Electrified Components at Cummins. “With the recent acquisition of Meritor and our new multi-chemistry approach, we will be able to tailor our solutions and offer a one-stop-shop for customers’ powertrain needs.”

Cummins’ portfolio currently includes four batteries, each of which targets a different duty cycle and use case and complement each other. In addition to the LFP option, this includes three nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries – the BP95E, BP74E and BP30E.

FLEXIBILITY IS KEY IN ENSURING ENERGY SECURITY

The launch of a new service that allows the British public to earn money by reducing their non-essential energy use is a critical step towards protecting the UK’s energy security, says the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE)

Regulator Ofgem has given the greenlight to National Grid ESO’s (Electricity System Operator) Demand Flexibility Service (DFS), which means the scheme is now live and ready for consumers to start using.

The first testing event is coming up soon and will see participating households and businesses being paid to turn down non-essential energy usage at times of peak national demand to help balance the electricity grid over the winter period.

The service, expected to prove a critical tool in the ESO’s arsenal to prevent blackouts, will pay households to voluntarily reduce their energy usage at specified times, boosting the country’s energy security by helping to ensure

demand never outstrips supply, such as in a situation where the UK is unable to import enough energy from the continent.

The ADE helped design the DFS alongside National Grid and industry, and looks forward to seeing the results from the trial period of the scheme, which will run for five months.

Sarah Honan, Flexibility Policy Manager at the ADE, said:

“The DFS is an exciting development that puts energy directly in the hands of the user by paying them to safeguard the fate of the grid.

“In this period of huge price volatility, it marks a significant step through which households and businesses across the country can start to take back control of their relationship with energy - their involvement is absolutely critical if the UK is to avoid blackouts and grid interruptions over the course of what is sure to be a difficult winter period.”

Two hydrogen engine prototypes with different injection technologies offers promise for the future

Liebherr-Component Technologies AG has premiered two hydrogen engine prototypes, each employing different injection technologies. One features direct injection (DI), which injects hydrogen directly into the combustion chamber, with the second incorporating port fuel injection (PFI), in which hydrogen is blown into the air intake port.

Hydrogen-based powertrains are an important part of Liebherr’s open technology approach to alternative drive concepts, the company said, noting its component product segment has made significant investments in hydrogen engine development and test facilities. Prototype engines have been in testing since 2020, and have shown encouraging results in terms of performance and emissions on test benches and in the field, the company stated, with both PFI and DI technologies assessed as part of the process.

Prototype construction machines equipped with the engines have been in operation since 2021. The first equipment model running with a 100% hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine (ICE) is the Liebherr R 9XX H2 which features the six-cylinder H966 using a PFI configuration. The four-cylinder H964 hydrogen ICE prototype with DI configuration offers increased potential in terms of combustion efficiency and power density, making hydrogen engines an attractive alternative to diesel in applications with high demands on dynamics and power density within a limited installation space. Liebherr plans to begin series production of its hydrogen engines by 2025.

The company also cited several research projects in the area of alternative fuels, including a dual-fuel ICE engine that can run on hydrogen ignited by hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) injection or fully on HVO. According to the company, the technology would allow flexibility in with different configurations.

In recent years other researchers from other companies have demonstrated that full nameplate power could be achieved equally using both fuels. This has beenm the result in a number of tests. In addition, tests show the following benefits when operating on HVO fuel as an alternative to distillate diesel: Lower NOx, PM and CO2 emissions at nearly all load points. www.liebherr.com

New battery range is now available in UK

Caterpillar has developed a new line of 48-, 300- and 600volt batteries for industry. Using its expertise drawn from across its global network of technical centres in the UK (amongst others), the program focuses initially on battery solutions for equipment used in industrial applications.

“Caterpillar has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to sustainability through improvements in our operations and by helping our customers achieve their climate-related goals,” comments Steve Ferguson, senior vice president Caterpillar Industrial Power Systems.

“The announcement of our battery program is our latest step in combining a wide-ranging inventory of innovations with extensive knowledge of the off-highway industry to offer solutions for a range of power needs, application types, duty cycles and operating environments.”

The battery range uses lithium-ion technology and features a modular design to optimize performance and packaging for third-party original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), said the company, and they have been engineered with sustainability in mind throughout their lifecycle, with the potential to reuse and recycle at the end of life.

Caterpillar has previously committed to ensuring that 100% of its new products through 2030 will be more sustainable than the previous generation, which the company has said is reflected in its lineup of industrial-power solutions and integrated services finely tuned for owners of third-party equipment powered by Cat engines.

Ferguson concludes: “Improved sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and one size doesn’t fit all in determining the appropriate power solution for equipment owners. Our offerings can help customers and end users start improving the sustainability of their operations today through high-efficiency engines, fuels and digital solutions now available for the jobsite, by extending value and reducing waste over the lifecycle of equipment they already own, and by powering the next generation of equipment with innovations precisely configured for the jobsite.”
