The second module will depart later this summer. The international ITER fusion facility under construction in France has already begun initial tokamak assembly activities; the central solenoid is expected to be installed in 2023. US ITER, managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, oversees the entire fabrication process successfully completed rigorous post-production testing that simulated the ITER operational environment, with cryogenic temperatures of 4.5 degrees Kelvin and powering to 40,000 amperes. “The manufacture of the central solenoid is a great example of national laboratories and research centres resolving challenging engineering problems,” said Kathy McCarthy, US ITER Project Director and Associate Laboratory Director for Fusion and Fission Energy and Science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “The experience we’re gaining from ITER in integrated, reactor-scale engineering is invaluable for realizing a viable, practical path to fusion energy.” The 5-storey tall, 1,000-ton magnet will induce 15 million amperes of electrical current in ITER’s plasma to initiate each plasma pulse and to provide vertical stability of the plasma within the tokamak. To accomplish this, the

solenoid is 7 feet tall, 14 feet wide, and composed of 3.5 miles of superconducting cable provided by ITER Japan. ITER will demonstrate industrial-scale fusion power and a self-heated, or burning plasma. Self-heating is considered an essential step for fusion energy development. Multiple engineering and manufacturing challenges were resolved by the US ITER, General Atomics and ITER Organization team to achieve success. Module fabrication requires precise alignment to 1 mm as the conductor is wound to the necessary diameter and height. At one stage in the manufacturing process, the conductor is unwound like a giant Slinky for insulation wrapping and then reassembled back to the same precise winding alignment.

With hybrid systems that combine renewable sources of energy with a diesel system, two goals are always crucial - save fuel and keep the system reliability. Thanks to its advanced functions designed specifically for hybrid systems ComAp controllers can maximize the amount of energy from renewables while not endangering the system stability. ComAp provides solutions for either small-scale hybrid applications as well as complex ones.The PV-Diesel Hybrid combination is popular because of the ease of integration between the two, and the relatively low cost of the photovoltaic panels and ancillary equipment. Integration with Wind Turbines is also possible within a Hybrid system, but the initial costs (and therefore return on investment times), on a cluster of wind turbines are much, much higher. The main benefits of a Hybrid system are the reduction in power generation costs, and the increase in system reliability, as well as the environmental benefits, found from using a renewable source of energy. ComAp complex system continuously monitors data from all sources of energy, including solar, wind, hydro, batteries and gen-sets. ComAp controllers are suitable for multiple gen-set applications and can also directly control the output of Solar, Wind & Battery Storage Systems. ComAp also has a cloud forecasting system which increases the efficiency of any PV-Diesel hybrid power generation installation. The forecasting system uses a camera to continuously monitor the cloud cover over the photovoltaic installation. The cloud forecasting system uses an algorithm to predict overall solar irradiation that is above the PV cells. The algorithm uses overhead cloud cover, background radiation and other factors to predict the solar output and ensure the maximum utilization of the PV system before the genset starts. This system allows for the maximum input from the PV system, whilst also reducing the use of the diesel genset – resulting in a reduction of wear on the engine and saving in diesel consumption. The InteliGen 500 Microgrid allows users to integrate various sources of energy under one control system. The solution´s logic is based on our standard gen-set controller - InteliGen 500, which needs to be equipped with InteliFieldbus gateway and a brand new optional firmware called InteliGen 500 Microgrid. It can handle complex energy management of a site consisting of a single diesel gen-set, PV solar plant and a Battery Energy Storage System, and can incorporate a grid connection too if needed. The system prefers the use of renewable energy by the built-in energy management algorithms. The solution is designed to be very flexible so the user can start with a basic PV-gen-set set-up and extend the site by battery energy storage system or Mains connection at a later stage without having to change the control system components. Cyclical battery charging allows using the gen-set at its most efficient power point to charge the battery energy storage system battery and then shut down to let the batteries supply the load. Auto mains failure function is set directly on battery so if there’s enough energy stored in batteries there’s no need to start the genset immediately when mains fails. InteliGen 500 Microgrid is compatible almost with all photovoltaics and BESS inverters. More information:

Both partners will continue to manufacture, sell, and service switchgear solutions independently. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), the most potent greenhouse gas, with a potential for global warming roughly 23,500 times greater than CO2, is still the insulating gas of choice, and makes a significant impact on global warming. In the light of the drive toward global decarbonisation, the demand for alternatives is growing, as are regulations to limit the use of , or ban, fluorinated gases, say the companies. Siemens Energy and Mitsubishi Electric have both been working on the development of SF6-free gas-insulated switching solutions designed to replace the greenhouse gas with clean air, a pure mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, in order to contribute to global carbon-neutrality goals. So far, clean air insulation is the only available alternative to greenhouse gases and therefore poses zero health and safety risks.

By 2030, 54.1% of installed capacity will be renewable (includa combination of solar and wind. “Decentralization, decarbonisation, and digitalisation are the three key pillars of the global energy transition,” said Vasanth Krishnan, Senior Research Analyst, Industrial Practice, Frost & Sullivan. “The power sector will witness strong growth in decentralisation during the decade, with annual global investment increasing from billion in 2030. “Pressure will continue to build for further decarbonization within the power system as the rate of adoption of digital technologies increases in both existing and future plants to boost operational
performance.” Krishnan added: “The surge in need for flexibility is the most significant trend observed across developed markets. System operators are coming under increasing pressure to manage the system with uncertain renewable output, declining coal output, and demand-side variability. “As a result, technologies and solutions such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), gas engines, demand-side response (DSR), and virtual power plants (VPP) are witnessing unprecedented adoption rates amongst utilities, solution providers, and end consumers.” Conventional power plant operators will require extreme physical and digital agility to compete with alternative power sources and stay profitable in the longer term. In this regard, digital solutions will enable conventional thermal power plants to increase operational efficiency and asset utilisation to meet the present and future needs of a smart power grid.

T
he popularity of combined heat and power (CHP) – a technology that generates heat and electricity simultaneously from the same energy source for homes or buildings – is continuing to grow in the UK, in line with the government’s net zero drive, reports Chris Marsland, UK General Manager at EuroSite Power Ltd. However, the full potential of the technology, which is also known as cogeneration, has yet to be unlocked and the pace of uptake in the UK isn’t as quick as some other countries such as Japan Statistics suggest around 230,000 CHP solutions are currently in operation in the country, and it is expected that Japan will witness of CHP as an important element in the low carbon revolution, alongside CHP Focus – a BEIS initiative, which supports the development of combined heat and power in the UK. and reduce energy bills whilst delivering a lower carbon footprint. This, alongside a reduction in transmission and distribution losses and increased fuel supply security, mean CHP is a great option to consider for any business as we progress towards 2050.

We also install, operate and maintain the assets over the course of their lifetime. To highlight an example of it in practice, one of our customers has On-Site Utility in place across multiple sites throughout the UK and was forecast to save them more than As well the clear cost savings, we’re helping them reduce their carbon footprint and boost their green credentials through the use of CHP. When we have the opportunity to explain more about the technology of interest and uptake. However, I do think that general awareness of CHP
is still relatively low in many sectors and that’s something we work hard to overcome. Moving away from the technical aspects is also important, as most customers don’t speak in kilowatt hours. It’s important to focus on the outcomes, explaining what we can do to improve the customer’s energy bill and their environmental impact. Finance can also be barrier, with capital purchases less common and customers wanting options to help possible. We’ve worked with the team at Solutions Asset Finance for many agreements, and the company’s expertise in the renewables sector has seen the relationship develop into a strong partnership. This partnership means no capital expenditure is required from customers and all the technical, operational and commercial risk are covered by us. Customers can start
energy solutions, working primarily with businesses in the hospitality, leisure and commercial sectors. My role is helping businesses harness the long-term comgeneration. The CHP process involves capturing heat that would otherwise be wasted when generating electricity and then making use of it elsewhere. This is achieved by installing a generator on a customer’s site and the heat that is captured is then used to provide energy for things such as space heating, hot water, cooling or industrial processes. We describe CHP to customers as an uncomplicated way to lower energy prices. Even before the new ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, the UK government has backed the use of CHP and said that for many organisations, “CHP is the measure that energy costs and improve environmental performance,

typically CHP will replace the CCGTs, not the renewables, therefore the grid carbon factor that should be used in assessing CHP’s contribution to grid carbon should be that of CCGTs – not the average factor. Looking to the future, we can expect the number of renewables will continue to grow but, at least for the medium term, the grid operator will still be calling on CCGT (marginal fossil fuel plant) to provide support, inertia and rapid control of voltage and frequency. saving from day one, enjoying a guaranteed discount against current and future energy prices. Our solution also provides exemption from carbon taxes through the CHPQA Good Quality CHP scheme, which contributes to bottom line savings.

It’s always been really important for us to have a
become even more important for enablers for industrial and commercial customers, who have one eye on meeting 2050 net zero carbon targets. CHP has a large part to play in de-carbonising heat in the UK. Mixed models of district heating schemes, where a combination of CHP and heat pumps is used, are becoming more common. This allows the production of heat through electricity when there is an abundance of intermittent power production, and cogeneration of electric power and district heating when the availability of intermittent power production is low. When it comes to buildings, another point in the convert to the lower water temperatures required for heat pumps. The buildings and infrastructure we have 2050, so CHP is a much more viable option. If you combine this with the lack of space in urban areas for external heat pumps, especially ground source ones, it demonstrates how CHP powered by a lower carbon gas still has an important role to play. This lower carbon gas source could be linked to hydrogen – of which much has been said about the longterm prospects of – but also to the use of biomethane either directly or via partnership with a biomethane producer that would facilitate this, with biomethane injected into the grid at the point of production and extracted at the point of consumption – a sort of virtual supply. Several reports have highlighted the fact that a simple comparison of the average carbon content of grid electricity versus the carbon content of CHP electricity does not correctly represent CHP’s contribution to lowrenewable sources, nuclear, and Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGT). However, gas CCGT tends to be used to balance the grid, as the number of renewables generating electricity

Reciprocating engines can burn lots coal mine gas, hydrogen, ammonia and more. But it’s important to consider where these alternative gasses are coming from. Biogas can and is being injected into the natural gas grid, although there is some suggestion of a growing shortage of feedstock for these Biomethane plants. There are plenty of plans and even a few demonstrators for mixing hydrogen with natural gas (possibly up to 20%) in the gas grid. The big problem is getting enough of either of these two gasses. hydrogen) is produced by steam reformation of methane, which emits all the carbon that would have been emitted if the methane were burnt. This hydrogen is used predominately as a process feedstock rather than a fuel. To address this, we need either to get Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) working at scale and continue to use steam reformation to capture the carbon released (blue hydrogen) or to use electrolysers running on 100% renewable electricity (green hydrogen). But the current gas grid is not capable of transporting pure hydrogen and there is doubt around how big the hydrogen percentage can be before damage occurs to the distribution pipes. Some suggestions that I have seen say that up to 20% is feasible. This would mean there will be little pure hydrogen used in commercial and domestic stationary applications. Based upon a report by the Energy Networks Association, I expect that by 2050 there will be a small percentage of hydrogen in the existing gas grid, which CHPs can cope with by a small derate. I am only aware of one CHP manufacturer actively pushing a 50% derate hydrogen capable machine, but there are more CHPs being developed to run on pure hydrogen. However, pure hydrogen fuel won’t be available to all and so they will
become centralised at industrial hubs multi megawatt installations. Hopefully this will leave us with a market past 2050 where we can continue to run more conventional CHPs using gas from the national network that is partially de-carbonised by mixing in a small percentage of hydrogen.

ummins Inc. has partnered with Iberdrola, one to develop one of the world’s largest electrolyzer plants for the production of green hydrogen to be located in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. This investment in Spain comes on the heels of Iberdrola and Cummins’ decision to partner together on large-scale hydrogen production projects in Spain and Portugal. The companies have signed an agreement to accelerate the growth of business opportunities in the electrolyzer market of Iberia, promoting the green hydrogen value chain and making Spain a leader of this technology and industry. This alliance helps to position Cummins as a leading supplier of electrolyzer systems for large-scale projects in Iberia and Iberdrola as a leading developer of electrolyzer projects and hydrogen for hydrogen production, and we are excited to invest capacity in Europe,” said Tom Linebarger, Chairman and CEO of Cummins. “Our partnership with Iberdrola will connect us with a major clean energy company and strategically positions us to be a European leader in green hydrogen production. We believe that this is just the start of our expansion into new markets, bringing new clean

decarbonization of the industry.” A site selection search within the Guadalajara area of Castilla-La Mancha is currently underway for Cummins’ new €50-million PEM electrolyzer plant that will house system assembly and testing for approximately 500 MW/year and will be scalable to more than 1 GW/year. The facility, which will initially be 22,000 square meters, is anticipated to open in 2023, creating 350 new jobs as production ramps up. Cummins is rapidly growing its capabilities to provide hydrogen technologies at scale, which is critical to the world’s green energy transition through the hydrogen economy. Cummins has deployed more than 600 electrolyzers in 100 countries. As part of this alliance, the 230-MW green hydrogen project in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva, Andalusia, Spain) - that Iberdrola has planned for the leading fertilizer producer Fertiberia - will become a benchmark for large electrolysis projects. Cummins will be
the electrolyzer supplier for the Palos project and through the experience acquired in the project, Iberdrola and Cummins will jointly collaborate in the design of solutions for large electrolysis projects. Cummins and Iberdrola are also working on a hydrogen refuelling station in Barcelona, Spain with additional partnership and broader co-operation opportunities anticipated in the future. Cummins’ ability to construct an electrolyzer facility in Spain is a result of the strong support from the Castilla-La Mancha and Spanish governments. Additionally, with Spain’s support, this plant and partnership will accelerate the ability of green hydrogen to play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas and air emissions from industrial industries to meet the goals in limiting global temperature increases laid out in the Paris Agreement and the European Union’s Green Deal.

FS-XT BMS FROM ION ENERGY FOR BESS ION uses a distributed and scalable architecture for its BMSes. The FS-XT BMS, used for HV applications, can be interfaced with a grid battery controller. This makes it effortlessly scalable in handling applications ranging from 9V to 900V. The FS-XT consists of the System Management Unit (SMU), andthe Battery Management Unit (BMU). The SMU manages the whole battery pack as well as the BMUs. On the other hand, the BMUs manage individual cell modules. Each BMU can monitor 6 to 18 cells in series, and up to 40 BMUs can be connected to the SMU. In addition to the basic protection measures of over- & under-voltage, and over- & under-temperature driven by the microcontroller unit (MCU), we’ve developed and implemented sensing circuit and testing algorithms to ensure fail-safe operations of the BESS. The FS-XT is also built with features like system interlockmonitoring, contactor weld detection, support for the insulation monitoring device, and system communication with isolated CAN bus. www.ionenergy.co

Caterpillar Inc has announced that Microsoft will use Cat® C175-20 and C18 generator sets to provide complete standby power solutions in the first phase of data centres under construction in Sweden. All the generator sets can be powered by Preem Evolution Diesel Plus, a renewable liquid fuel. The facilities will be among Microsoft’s most advanced and sustainable data centres, featuring energy-saving designs, power from 100% renewable energy sources, and ambitions for zero-waste operations. Installed and commissioned by the local Cat dealer, the Cat generator sets will align with Microsoft’s sustainability goals by enabling operation on a co-processed synthetic diesel fuel that contains more than 50% renewable raw materials. Manufactured at the Preem refinery in Gothenburg, Sweden, it is the first eco-labelled liquid fuel in the world. Cat engines have allowed the use of various hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel products for more than a decade. Preem’s Evolution Diesel Plus was evaluated and tested by Caterpillar and Microsoft at a data centre in Dublin, Ireland. “Microsoft is a valued Caterpillar customer, and we are delighted to collaborate with them and support their goals for carbon reduction.” said Bart Myers, general manager, Caterpillar Large Electric Power. “This project has presented us with an ideal opportunity to demonstrate the flexibility and versatility of the products in our electric power portfolio and our expertise in sustainable power generation.” Caterpillar supports sustainability with a broad portfolio of advanced power offerings: Caterpillar’s hybrid energy solutions technology suite includes photovoltaic (PV) solar modules, bi-directional power (BDP) inverters, energy storage system (ESS) modules, advanced microgrid controllers and full digital monitoring. Cat cogeneration combined heat and power (CHP) systems simultaneously provide power for electrical loads as well as highefficiency heating and cooling. Cat generator sets can be configured to operate on numerous biogas fuels, including coal mine methane, landfill gas and wastewater biogas. Myers added, “More and more of our customers seek to lessen their impacts on the environment while pursuing economic goals. Caterpillar has supported the use of hybrid and renewable fuels in our power solutions for many years as part of our own strategic investment in sustainability.” The standby power solution at each of the data centers at Gävle, Sandviken and Staffanstorp consists of multiple Cat C175-20 generator sets for critical operations and Cat C18 generator sets that support administrative functions. Additionally, all the generator sets will be equipped with sound-attenuating enclosures that deliver optimal performance in ambient temperatures that can range from minus 30 degrees to more than 40 degrees Celsius (minus 22 to more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit). Packaged at Caterpillar’s manufacturing facility at Larne, Northern Ireland, the installations provide complete, vertically integrated solutions backed by a full Caterpillar warranty. “We have worked extensively to ensure that our new data centres in Sweden will be among our most sustainably designed and operated in the world,” said Noelle Walsh, corporate vice president, Cloud Operations and Innovation at Microsoft. www.cat.com
