The European Union’s electricity grid is the most interconnected continental power network in the world. It forms a single synchronous A/C grid where all member states are responsible for maintaining grid equilibrium, i.e. matching total power demand with total supply at all times.

This happens thanks to large interconnections maintained between neighbouring countries. Interconnection capacities already reach up to 40% of installed power generation capacities in countries such as Denmark or Austria.

Furthermore, they are mandated to be no lower than 10% for all member states by 2020.

By and large there is the ‘Butterfly Effect’. How much power an EU-country receives depends largely on the energy policies of its neighbours.

For example, a French homeowner turning on an electric heater during peak hours in winter may THE EUROPEAN UNION’S contribute to increase the burn rate of a coal power plant in GerELECTRICITY GRID many, or a gas turbine in Denmark, IS THE MOST albeit to a smaller extent.

Such synchronicity is not always INTERCONNECTED good. A disturbance in the synchronised European highCONTINENTAL voltage power grid on Friday, 8th January 2021, resulted in a POWER NETWORK IN THE separation of European grid WORLD. “ regions, and led the German Association of the Industrial Energy and Power Industry ( VIK) to warn users “not to lose sight of the issue of grid stability and security of supply”. In an average summer, as much as 12% of the electricity consumed by a European citizen is imported from a neighbouring country.

Nations like Latvia even import more power (on average) than they actually consume due to their high export. They effectively act as “electricity highways” between distant regions.

Denmark is also particularly noticeable, as it imported 54% of its consumption, using Norwegian’s hydro plants as a giant backup battery for its variable wind production. All countries import some of their electricity from adjoining ones at some point during the summer - even the largest net-exporters such as Estonia or Sweden.

Will there be power-production issues involved with the supply of Russian oil & gas over the rest of 2022? Clearly, the grid problems in one country set up a domino-effect in others. However, on July 30th, 2021, a third of electricity in Europe originated from wind and solar: an all-time high for Europe. Three weeks later, during the night of August 25th, they only covered 5%: the lowest in the summer.

Thus the EU might not be wide enough to power itself with renewable energy at all times.

SAFT ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM WILL SMOOTH GRID INTEGRATION FOR CÔTE D’IVOIRE’S FIRST SOLAR PLANT

POWEREX LIVE 2022 LONDON,UK: 8TH DECEMBER AN EXISTING NETWORK EVENT The next PowerEx event has been announced for Thursday 8th December, 2022, at the prestigious Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, London.

This is a popular event aimed at four specific sectors: * distributed energy * data centres * gensets & their componentry (engines and alternators etc.) * CHP Dave Andrews, Chairman of the Claverton Energy Institute comments:” “Emissions is going to be the ‘next big thing’ for industry to resolve. According to the independent Committee for Climate Change, last year we had reduced our emissions by 42% - more than halfway to that 80% goal. This is why shows like PowerEx are so important to discuss these critical changes.”

The 2022 PowerEx event wil feature 18 speakers - 4 have already boooked - split between two separate Conference strands focussing on Conference themes.

Mr Andrews explains: “The PowerEx conferences will run in parallel with prime exhibitor space available in adjoining rooms.”

The UK has led the world in the transformation of the energy sector over the last 40 years and the PowerEx event certainly reflects this.“The Climate Change Act has a baseline of 1990, and a target date of 2050 to have reduced our emissions by 80%. We are approaching halfway through that timeline,” Mr Andrews explains.

Most importantly, attending power professionals will have the chance to network with experts in all fields of CHP, Data Centres & Renewable Energy.

Exhibition space is limited so the organisers are allocating areas on a first-come-first served basis. Early bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment.

Some recent confirmatory bookings for the December event include Bergen Engines, Fozmula, the MHM Group, BGG UK and Pillar, among others. www.powerexlive.co.uk

Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, has won a major contract from Eiffage Energie Systèmes to deliver a 10 MW energy storage system (ESS) that will ensure smooth grid integration for the Boundiali solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant.

The 37.5 MWp (megawatt-peak) plant, owned and operated by CI-Energies (Côte d’Ivoire Energies), will be the first large-scale solar project in Côte d’Ivoire.

The primary role of the ESS will be capacity firming and smoothing of the solar plant’s inherently intermittent output to ensure a predictable and reliable feed into the local grid. The fully-integrated lithium-ion ESS will comprise six Saft Intensium Max High Energy containers, providing a total of 13.8 MWh (megawatt-hour) energy storage, together with power conversion and medium voltage power station systems. “ As the main contractor for the Boundiali project, it was vital to find an ESS partner that could not only meet the technical requirements, but would also ensure that the system would operate reliably throughout a 10-year life,” said Ludovic Bavière of Eiffage Energie Systems. “The quality of our discussions and a previous experience reassured us of Saft’s abitity to carry out this strategic project for our client, CI-Energies”.

Côte d’Ivoire had an installed electricity production capacity of 2229 MW in 2019 and is expected to double its production by 2030. Electricity supply is currently largely provided by thermal energy and hydroelectric dams. The government aims to make the country the energy hub of West Africa by 2030 with an energy mix of 42 percent renewables.

Boundiali, a city of around 40,000 in the north of Côte d’Ivoire, will soon be home to the country’s first solar power plant. It will produce clean electricity for around 30,000 households, avoid the emission of 27,000 tonnes of CO2, and will help create 300 jobs in the region.

The area is classified as a semi-arid zone with a hot and very dry climate. In addition to ensuring reliability and long-life in ambient temperatures that can reach 37°C, the battery containers are designed to resist hot and dusty winds.

The ESS will rapidly charge or discharge its lithium-ion batteries to accommodate the intermittent output from the solar power plant. It then provides a smooth generation profile, equivalent to the plant’s output averaged over 30 minutes, that can be easily accepted by the local grid. This ensures most effective use of decarbonised electricity

TWO FURNACES WILL PRODUCE NEW ALUMINUM-BASED HEAT EXCHANGERS A major investment by Wabtec will enhance the company’s penetration into the renewable energy sector.

The company is investing $8 million to install two furnaces designed to produce aluminum-based heat exchangers for applications which traditionally use copper brass designs, said Mike Fetsko, president of the Freight and Industrial Components Group for Wabtec.

“We know that this is going to be a more cost-effective solution for our customers,” said Michael Sprenger, director of Sales, Engine Cooling for Wabtec. “The copper brass is working, it’s very scalable, we can satisfy all the requirements worldwide, but we do know this (aluminum) is going to be a lower cost point for our customers to make them more competitive.”

The two furnaces will produce two types of heat exchangers for large engines required for demanding applications, such as energy generation, oil & gas.

One furnace is currently being installed at the company’s Northampton, UK, facility. This operation already designs and manufactures a variety of cooling systems and related components, including radiators and charge-air coolers. The Northampton site is one of the largest producers of industrial radiators in the world, manufacturing over 35,000 radiators a year for companies in the power generation, off-highway and construction industries worldwide.

At the company’s facility in Jackson, Tenn., an additional bar and plate furnace will be installed this year to enable the company to produce what it calls the largest single-piece aluminum core in the market. The product will be well suited for mining, oil & gas, rail and the marine auxiliary markets.

The new Northampton, UK, tube and fin furnace will produce sectional heat exchangers – “think Lego blocks,” Sprenger said – that will be more suited for stationary markets. “With those two technologies, we’re trying to cover all of those market segments.” www.wipmagazines.com www.powermediagroup.co.uk

IN BRIEF ENGINE CYLINDER OIL WINS MANUFACTURER’S APPROVAL

ExxonMobil said its Mobilgard 540 AC, a premium 40BN marine cylinder oil, has been granted Category II status by MAN ES for use in the company’s Mark 9 and higher 2-stroke engine designs.

The lubricant, which has been formulated to deliver advanced cleanliness to meet the needs of these newer engines, has received a No Objection Letter from the engine builder following extensive field demonstrations.

“Mobilgard 540 AC is one of the first 40BN lubricants to be granted Category II status,” said Yannis Chatzakis, Global Marine Technology Program manager at ExxonMobil. “As the latest addition to the MobilGard family of cylinder oils, it builds on the brand’s extensive heritage of innovation, performance and reliability, helping provide peace of mind to vessel operators in a wide variety of operating conditions.”

INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY WITH LARGE ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS Barbara Gregorio, Divisional Product Marketing Manager Innovative Energies and Digital Solutions, Atlas Copco Power and Flow, explains to WIP how maintaining productivity on a construction site is vital to completing a project within budget.

“This is especially important in today’s economic climate where construction companies are also under increased pressure to operate as cost-effectively as possible. The ability to work efficiently and finish a project on – or even ahead of – schedule can ultimately help improve the bottom line.”

“Traditionally diesel generators have been the site power source, however, in recent years, lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (ESS) have been developed to address the need for more environmentally friendly and sustainable equipment,” says Barbara.

These energy storage systems can play a pivotal role in helping sites to increase productivity, helping rental companies increase their profitability, and construction operators to make cost savings, while contributing to a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Zero noise has a big impact on business “One factor that has a significant impact on productivity is the noise levels of the equipment. Noise is still a major environmental problem in cities worldwide.”

Batteries operate silently, and so energy storage systems are noise-free.

This has major benefits, helping operators to comply with regulations in city center construction sites, she says.

DEVELOPING HYDROGEN ENERGY SOURCES IN AUSTRALIA

GENSETS FOR ONE OF SPAIN’S LARGEST TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES

BP has announced plans to start a feasibility study into a green hydrogen production facility in Australia. The export-scale facility would be powered by around 1.5 GW of on-site or gridsourced renewable energy and located in Geraldton, Western Australia, reports BP Australia.

The feasibility study will help BP to “better understand the possibilities of using hydrogen to export renewable energy at scale”.

It will involve an initial investment from bp of A$2.7 million, with a further A$1.7 million being funded by Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as part of its Advancing Renewables Programme.

BP Australia will be supported by GHD Advisory to deliver the study, while Lightsource BP will advise on the generation solution.

The potential pilot plant will look to produce green hydrogen, using onsite and/or grid-sourced renewable power. This will then be converted into around 20 kilo-tonnes per annum (ktpa) of green ammonia. Once developed to commercial scale, this is expected to increase to around 1000 ktpa of green ammonia, targeted at domestic and export markets.

The feasibility study will deliver a detailed techno-economic evaluation of pilot and commercial scale green ammonia production plants in Geraldton. This will include an analysis of the different technologies and process configurations required to manufacture green hydrogen and green ammonia.

Frédéric Baudry, BP chief operating officer for Asia Pacific, said: “Western Australia is the study location due, in part, to its vast solar and wind resources, existing port infrastructure and proximity to large, long-term markets for green hydrogen. The study further demonstrates BP’s long-standing investment and commitment to the region.”

GENESAL ENERGY has supplied a GEN330VC genset to reinforce the emergency supply of a data processing centre (Data Centre, or DPC) owned by one of the main telecommunications companies in Spain.

The project took place at a corporate buildings located in León. GENESAL designed, manufactured and supplied two identical 300/330 kVA generator sets with a common 3000 L fuel tank.

A spokesman commented: “The client needed to guarantee energy at all times so that in the event of a breakdown or interruption of the electrical network, the equipment would start operating in record time. The generator sets designed by the engineering team are fully prepared to act

www.wipmagazines.com www.powermediagroup.co.uk

in the event of a breakdown and also provide energy in adverse situations such as a storm or any other meteorological phenomenon which may cause failures in the network. If this happens, the emergency system will allow the installation’s capacity to be increased in those production peaks in which the conventional network is not enough.

The GEN330VC genset features: • Upper air outlet • Fuel transfer system.

• 600 L base frame integrated fuel tank + 3000 L double walled fuel tank, connections • Parallel operation • Signals and operation mode according to customer requirements • Chimney supply and installation.

IN BRIEF GENERATOR SETS FOR THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR 2MW ORDER FOR GENSETS IN THE CARIBBEAN Capstone Green Energy Corp. announced that E-Finity Distributed Generation, Capstone’s exclusive distributor for the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern United States and the Caribbean, has secured an order for two Capstone C1000S microturbine systems for a government water authority in the Caribbean.

The systems will provide emergency standby power to several pumping stations on one of the region’s island communities. The 2 MW system is scheduled to be commissioned towards the end of calendar year 2022.

“Delivering clean, reliable, low-cost power to the Caribbean is a fundamental priority for Capstone and our partner E-Finity right now,” said Darren Jamison, Capstone’s president and CEO. “The high cost of power, low grid reliability, and the desire to be green, make the Caribbean a growing market for our innovative products and services.”

Fuelled by natural gas, the microturbines will operate in stand-alone mode, providing critical power to the pumping station. The station will have the ability to automatically switch between the utility grid and microturbines for power generation. This will help the local authority run the microturbines during grid outages or weather events and also peak shave to save money on utility costs.

Capstone Green Energy Corp. said its Alaska distributor, Arctic Energy, Inc., has also secured an order for five Capstone 65 kW integrated heating and power (ICHP) dual-mode microturbines.

The system was purchased by a waste management facility that is part of the municipality of Anchorage. It will provide both heat and power for all the facility’s critical infrastructure required to operate the site.

Fuelled by natural gas, the microturbine-based energy array will run in “multi-pack,” providing 325 kW of power as it operates primarily in parallel with the local utility. Using Capstone’s automatic dual-mode capabilities, the system will be able to automatically switch to standalone backup power.

ENERGY SUCCESS FOR LONG RIDGE’S POWER PLANT WITH SUCCESSFUL HYDROGEN DEMO

THE WORLD’S FIRST & LARGEST GREEN HYDROGEN FACILITY Black & Veatch has been selected by Mitsubishi Power Americas and Magnum Development, the co-developers of what is said to be the world’s first and largest industrial green hydrogen production and storage facility.

B&V has been chosen to provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the ‘Advanced Clean Energy Storage’ project in Delta, Utah, USA. First announced in 2019, the new hydrogen hub will initially be designed to convert more than 220 MW of renewable energy daily to 100 metric tons of green hydrogen that will be stored in two large salt caverns. Storing excess renewable energy as hydrogen is expected to yield long-term and long-duration energy storage.

Long Ridge Energy Terminal, a subsidiary of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC - and GE - have announced a successful first step to transition Long Ridge’s power plant toward firing hydrogen.

Following the start of commercial operation in October 2021, the plant conducted a successful demonstration using a hydrogen-blended fuel in GE’s HA gas turbine at the Long Ridge 485 MW combined-cycle power plant located in Hannibal, Ohio. The hydrogen blending test was completed on 30 March this year at the facility using hydrogen produced as by-product from a nearby industrial facility.

“This is a profound achievement. Our Hannibal power plant is the first GE H-class plant worldwide in commercial operation to blend hydrogen successfully and we will continue to work with GE to lead the deployment of utility-scale hydrogen solutions and sustainable energy storage,” said Bo Wholey, president of Long Ridge Energy Terminal.

The plant is powered by a GE 7HA.02 gas turbine, which can burn between 15-20% hydrogen by volume in the gas stream initially and is expected to have the capability to use up to 100% hydrogen over time. For the demonstration, GE provided an integrated system, GE’s H2 Integrated Fuel Blending System, to allow an initial blending of 5% hydrogen by volume and natural gas.

TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGH - MAKING DIESEL ENGINES RUN ON 100% RENEWABLE PLANT-BASED FUELS ClearFlame Engine Technologies has taken the next in step in development of its proprietary technology designed to enable heavy-duty diesel engines to operate on 100% renewable plantbased fuels.

In December, the company began its initial road testing, a critical milestone in its objective to decarbonize generators and other engines.

“This demonstration proves the workability of our technology that takes the dirty diesel fuel out of engines and trucks,” said BJ Johnson, CEO and co-founder of the Geneva, Ill., headquartered company.

“The transportation sector is currently the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. Simply hoping that we get to net-zero greenhouse emissions by 2050 is not good enough.”

He explains: “If we want to get serious in the fight against climate change, we need more solutions that can enable swift decarbonization today, particularly for heavy-duty engines, which are among the worst offenders.”

The demonstrator vehicle for ClearFlame’s engine technology is a15-litre Cummins X15 diesel engine rated 500 hp. The engine was retrofitted with ClearFlame’s technology to operate on E98 ethanol.

Julie Blumreiter, ClearFlame’s co-founder and chief technology officer said: “We rebuilt the engine using ClearFlame’s technology and now we can get that additional experience and proof beyond the dyno cell. On the dyno, we’ve demonstrated the engine matches the full lug line of the production diesel. We have plans to get the engine under load.”

athe in beer and then cut a good figure on a wave - there are worse things to do in the offhours. Those who do so at the Tychy Aquapark enjoy the comforting warmth of the water and the stable power supply from three MWM gensets.

If you want to enjoy a leisurely soak in a beer, Tychy Aquapark in southern Poland is the place to go. The right mixture of hops, barley malt and water is mixed by the master brewer in front of the customer before he or she relaxes in a single or double tub modelled on a beer barrel.

Afterwards straw beds invite to rest. The ambience is true to the style of an old brewery. But that’s not the only attraction waiting for visitors in the water paradise.

In addition to three dry saunas and two steam saunas, the sauna landscape offers a salt grotto and a snow cave where the respiratory tract is cleansed at minus 15 degrees C. But the Tychy Aquapark is not only about relaxation, athletes don’t miss out either. A pool with a heightadjustable bottom (between 30 and 180 centimeters of water depth) offers the right water height for the various aquagym courses. Finally, a permanent wave is one of the numerous highlights of the bath, where you can either distinguish yourself as an elegant surfer or serve as an amusement magnet for the spectators.

What is hidden from the visitors at first, and probably second glance, is that, they owe the well-tempered heat and the reliable power supply of the facility to three gensets from MWM. Polish MWM distributor Centrum Elektroniki Stosowanej CES Sp. z o.o. has installed three biogas cogeneration power plants for Wodny Park Tychy in Poland.

Since the aquapark opened in 2018, it has already been expanded. A special feature of the aquapark is that it is energy self-sufficient, and all energy for the power supply and for heating the pools comes from renewable sources. Additionally, the excess heat is sold to the public heat grid.

The owner of Wodny Park, RCGW S.A. (Regional Center for Water and Wastewater Management) also operates a sewage treatment plant in Tychy, driven by three combined heat and power plants.

The biogas for the aquapark is delivered through a 6km biogas pipe from the sewage treatment plant. The sewage treatment plant in Tychy produces enough biogas to cover its own demand and that of the heat and power supply of the large aquapark.

In 2017, MWM Distributor Centrum Elektroniki Stosowanej CES Sp. z o.o. equipped the Tychy Aquapark

20

WORLDWIDE INDEPENDENT POWER

with two MWM TCG 2016 V08 gas engines during the construction phase of the aquapark.

The two engines each have an electrical output of 400 kW and a thermal output of 433 kW. The heat and power are used to cover the demand of the aquapark.

Instead of being extracted via dry coolers, the low-temperature heat from the intercoolers is used entirely for heating the water in the competition pool.

In this way, the energy is used as efficiently as possible, and energy losses are avoided.

The combined heat and power (CHP) plant was also equipped with heat buffers that are loaded when the heat demand of the swimming pools is lower and discharged when the heat demand surpasses the CHP production.

A 1.1-MWth biogas boiler was supplied for heat demand peaks. For emergencies, the aquapark is also connected to the public heat grid.

Flexible Operation of CHP Plants Enables Control of Biogas Utilisation After a few months of operation, it turned out that the sewage treatment plant produces enough biogas to install another engine. In 2019, Centrum Elektroniki Stosowanej CES

Sp. z o.o. thus delivered an MWM TCG 3016 V08 gas engine with an electrical output of 400 kW and a thermal output of 428 kW to Wodny Park Tychy.

All three CHP plants are suitable for parallel operation with the public power grid and for parallel operation with each other in island mode.

The electrical energy generated in island mode is sufficient for the security operation of the swimming pools and the power supply of other areas such as the restaurant.

RCGW S.A., the owner of the sewage treatment plant and the aquapark in Tychy, is glad to have the three cogeneration power plants at the aquapark and the other three cogeneration power plants at the sewage treatment plant.

In this way, RCGW S.A. is able to flexibly control the utilization of biogas by switching the cogeneration power plants on and off depending on the respective demand.

As the aquapark is connected to the public heat grid, it is even possible to feed in and sell excess heat from the aquapark.

Especially in the summer months, there is plenty of excess heat to sell; in 2020, for example, more than 5,000 GJ was sold. www.mwm.net

A HYDROGEN REVOLUTION: 5MW POWER SUPPLY UNIT FOR AN ELECTROLYZER TESTING SYSTEM

A

new contract to provide a 5MW Power Supply Unit for an electrolyzer testing system is a key example of one of the projects which confirm Nidec’s leadership in today’s hydrogen market - its technical contribution effectively making the process even greener, says the company.

Nidec Industrial Solutions has received an important order from a leading global player in green hydrogen production, storage and distribution for a 5MW Power Supply Unit (PSU) to be installed as part of an electrolyzer testing system, which will be supplied on a 40’ skid with outdoor cabinets using 6 Nidec AD7000 power modules working in parallel to generate 5.6MW of energy.

The PSU has several unique features such as a hermetically-sealed oil transformer that uses vegetable oil, which further reduces the environmental impact of the solution.

The green hydrogen sector is establishing itself as strategic in future European energy scenario and its evolution will be also promoted thanks to the growing investments announced by the European Union.

Nidec Industrial Solutions is not new to the hydrogen market, having provided power supply units for more than 10 green hydrogen PEM electrolyzer systems across Europe.

This significant experience has lead to the design of a highly cost-effective, compact, modular unit with a high degree of reliability and efficiency, based on Nidec converters and power control systems.

This is a solution which highlights the effectiveness of the products which Nidec Industrial Solutions currently offers to new energy sectors.

“Cost, reliability and efficiency are the three key ingredients for a successful transition to green hydrogen,” says Dominique Llonch, President of Nidec Industrial Solutions.

“Our commitment is to provide the safest, most economically viable solution to our customers and we are pleased to have been chosen for this important project.

“We have been involved in some of the largest Green Hydrogen pilot projects in Europe, many of which were the first of their kind. It is exciting to see the market evolve into its commercial stage with leading players in green hydrogen market.”

He concludes: “This is a further milestone that confirms Nidec’s key role in the future transformation of the energy industry.”

The main characteristics of the Nidec AD7000 PSU are: •Input Voltage: 10kV •Output Power Supply: 5.625MW •DC output voltage range: 10141485V •DC output current range: 3133750A. All about electrolyzers and green hydrogen One of the most common ways of producing green hydrogen is through a process involving the electrolysis of water.

Electrolysis is a promising option for hydrogen production from renewable resources. Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction takes place in an electrolyzer.

Electrolyzers can range in size from small to large-scale, and can be used for a variety of applications, such as for renewable energy storage and buffering or to generate hydrogen for industry feedstock.

Electrolyzers can be scaled to meet a variety of input and output ranges,

ranging in size from small industrial plants installed in shipping containers to large-scale centralised production facilities that can deliver the hydrogen by trucks or be connected to pipelines.

Currently, the main electrolysis technologies are alkaline and PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane).

The hydrogen produced from an electrolyzer is considered highly suitable for use with hydrogen fuel cells. Working much like a battery, fuel cells do not run down or need charging and produce electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied.

Green hydrogen is hydrogen generated by renewable energy or from low-carbon power.

Green hydrogen has significantly lower carbon emissions than grey hydrogen, which is produced by steam reforming of natural gas, which makes up the bulk of the hydrogen market.

Produced by the electrolysis of water is less than 0.1% of total hydrogen production, green hydrogen may be used to decarbonize sectors which are hard to electrify, such as steel and cement production, and thus help to limit climate change.

The high cost of H2 production is the main factor behind the low use of green hydrogen. Nonetheless, the hydrogen market is expected to grow, with some forecasts of the cost of hydrogen production falling from $6/kg in 2015 to around $2/kg by

Wind and solar power generation are attracting attention as renewable energy sources independent from fossil fuel . Fossil fuels are known to impose a heavy burden on the environment while also facing the risk of depletion in the future.

The task of connecting these new energy sources to the existing power grid, however, does not come without challenges, says Nidec ASi. The power provided has to be in a constant fine balance with the demand of the system, and advanced control technology is deployed throughout the power grid to optimise this equilibrium of supply and demand.

Furthermore, these advanced systems act to maintain high quality of the electricity inside the power grid by regulating voltage, phase and frequency etc. to avoid the risk of blackouts.

These systems allow consumers to tap into the power grid and utilise electricity in their daily lives without having to worry about electrical fluctuations. Nidec ASI’s inverter and power quality solutions allow renewable energy sources to be connected to the existing power grid with very high levels of power quality.

The company also offers power conversion and systems solutions for various applications including power generation systems optimised for guaranteeing availability of electricity off-grid such as on isolated islands or in other remote places in the world.

One example of this is the Smart Microgrid project in Ollagüe, Chile. Ollagüe is a village nested in the Andes mountain range at an altitude of 3660m above sea level.

This project started out with the goal of integrating photovoltaic- and wind power generation, a large scale power storage system used to compensate for the instability of these renewable energy forms, and an already existing diesel generator into a system capable of providing stable power.

In order to engineer a cost efficient system of an optimal scale, the total power consumption of the village was calculated for various hours of the day based on the population and the facilities of the village while the yearly sunshine duration and the wind power of the location were estimated based on past data.

Armed with this information, Nidec’s technical experts decided on an optimal composition and design for the system and set out to develop, produce and install the equipment.

“

“WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE LARGEST GREEN HYDROGEN PILOT PROJECTS IN EUROPE, MANY OF WHICH WERE THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND. IT IS EXCITING TO SEE THE MARKET EVOLVES INTO ITS COMMERCIAL STAGE WITH LEADING PLAYERS IN GREEN HYDROGEN MARKET. THIS IS A FURTHER MILESTONE THAT CONFIRMS NIDEC’S KEY ROLE IN THE FUTURE TRANSFORMATION OF THE ENERGY INDUSTRY.” - DOMINIQUE LLONCH, PRESIDENT OF NIDEC INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS www.wipmagazines.com www.powermediagroup.co.uk

Accomplishing the goals of this project was made possible by Nidec ASI’s experience in designing and constructing grid-tied renewable energy systems used in various parts throughout the world.

Through application of this experience along with Nidec’s advanced technology, the company’s technical experts were able to provide the inhabitants of Ollagüe with a means of reading books even when it is dark outside, and improving their quality of life in other ways by making it possible to use home appliances such as water heaters, cookets, TVs and refrigerators which are seeing a steady increase in use in the village.

LEADING CURED MEAT PRODUCER POWERS UP FOR GROWTH

F

ounded 1929 in Stabio, Switzerland’s leading producer of quality cured meats and gastronomic specialities, Rapelli, has turned to ABB to upgrade its power supply for its IT systems.

With more than 400 employees across a 200,000m2 plant and working with high end perishable ingredients, it was essential for Rapelli to ensure installation over a weekend. This is where ABB stepped up and replaced two traditional standalone UPS systems, with its advanced modular Conceptpower DPA UPScale.

The Rapelli IT infrastructure now has 99.99% power availability, and its UPS efficiency is as high as 96 percent, delivering both cost and energy savings.

ABB’s Conceptpower DPA UPScale’ best-in-class energy efficiency designs also deliver significant operational cost savings, with the high-efficiency modular UPS’s needing less cooling. It’s modularity and scalability also significantly reduce the total cost of ownership.

In addition, its multimodule system is fault tolerant, there are no single points of failure and energy availability is maximised. Now, one or more modules can be lost without jeopardizing the critical load, keeping the systems live 24/7.

ABB’s Regional Sales Manager, Renzo Salmina, said: “Previously, Rapelli would have to stop IT services for servicing and repairs, but our Conceptpower modular solution removes the need to switch off power during replacements, so there is no costly downtime and it’s so much easier to pre-empt and manage faults.”

As with all large projects, details were important.

Ensuring installation over a weekend avoided any disruption to the critical load and guaranteed no interruption to the power supply during the working week.

Renzo Salmina added: “The success of this project is the result of strong collaboration between ABB and Rapelli, from the initial concept through to implementation. We have enjoyed a long relationship with Rapelli over the years and there is a solid foundation built on trust and teamwork, which were key to us delivering the project on time and within budget.”

“

PREVIOUSLY, RAPELLI WOULD HAVE TO STOP IT SERVICES FOR SERVICING AND REPAIRS, BUT OUR CONCEPTPOWER MODULAR SOLUTION REMOVES THE NEED TO SWITCH OFF POWER DURING REPLACEMENTS, SO THERE IS NO COSTLY DOWNTIME AND IT’S SO MUCH EASIER TO PRE-EMPT AND MANAGE FAULTS.”

Most importantly, Rapelli is now in a strong position to meet its ambitious production targets, as the new DPA modular UPS system is designed with agility and flexibility in mind, where it can grow with both planned and unplanned demand of the applied critical load.

The Conceptpower DPA is a highpower, modular UPS system designed for today’s critical high-density computing environments.

The UPS is built using true online double conversion technology and delivers high-quality power. When combined with complete network integration software and communication connectivity, the Conceptpower DPA provides a comprehensive, easy-to-integrate power protection for data centres and network environments.

The Conceptpower DPA is based on ABB’s unique and proven Decentralised Parallel Architecture DPA™. DPA means that each UPS module contains all the hardware and software required for full system operation. They share no common components. The major benefit of a DPA system is very high power

availability.

Each UPS module has its own independent static bypass, rectifier, inverter, logic control, control panel and battery charger.

Even the batteries can be configured separately for each module if required. With all of the critical components duplicated and distributed between individual units, potential single points of failure are eliminated.

System uptime is further maximised by the true safe-swap modularity of the modules (easy replacement during system operation) which allows the simple addition or removal of modules without the need to bypass the UPS. Conceptpower DPA modules can be connected in parallel configuration to provide redundancy or to increase the system’s total capacity.

The Conceptpower DPA delivers power protection from 30 to 250 kVA (one to five modules) in a single cabinet. Cabinets can operate in parallel configuration to build a system of up to 1.5 MVA. www.abb.com

This project will trial first of its kind technology at a Severn Trent Water site in Derby to remove the carbon from CHP exhaust and turn it into eco-friendly products which have a variety of uses (including in paint and fertiliser) – the net-zero, circular economy in action.

In addition, the project will confirm further carbon savings associated with replacing intensively mined natural resources with an environmentally-friendlier replacing intensively mined natural resources with an environmentally friendlier Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (eco-PCC) from the captured CO2.

The CO2 from the engine exhaust is typically deemed to be carbon neutral as it is part of the short-term carbon cycle.

By removing this CO2 from the atmosphere, it is possible to overall reduce carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere over time.

If successful, the project will deliver a direct short-term benefit – net reducing CO2 in the atmosphere through the full-scale implementation of the CECCU technology at Derby STW. If the technology was rolled out across the entire CHP fleet (including all sectors) in the UK there is a potential long-term benefit of 5 million tCO2 per year and 40 million tCO2 per year across Europe.

Alex Marshall, Group Business Development and Marketing Director at Clarke Energy said: “We are delighted to have been selected to deliver this innovative carbon capture and conversion system with our long-term valued customer Severn Trent. Biogas engines provide renewable electricity and heat at sites across the world.”

He adds: “With the addition of a carbon capture system, we achieve the net effect of reducing carbon- dioxide out of the atmosphere which is important for our children’s future.”

The second Water Breakthrough Challenge is part of a series of innovation competitions made possible

by Ofwat’s £200m Water Innovation Fund.

It is delivered by Nesta Challenges, Arup and Isle Utilities. The fund helps stimulate new innovations, enabling the water sector to better meet the evolving needs of customers, society and the environment.

John Russell, Senior Director, Strategy, Finance and Infrastructure at Ofwat said: “It’s crucial for the water sector to come up with new, innovative ideas to fix the challenges that the sector – and society – faces.

The winners will help develop ideas to save more water, turn captured carbon into useful products, and – ultimately – make the sector more sustainable.”

He explains: “Ofwat’s Innovation Fund, which provides the prize money for these competitions, exists to help stimulate new and bold initiatives by water companies working in partnership with universities, charities, engineering practices and technology firms.

“We have much to learn from other sectors and the winners of this round of the competition showcase just how much can be achieved when we

collaborate.”

Carbon-dioxide can be easily removed both from fuel gases, such as biogas, which contains 50-70% CO2.

Removal from the biogas is called biogas upgrading. Carbon-dioxide gets scrubbed from the exhaust system of a gas engine.

When methane is used as a fuel in a gas engine it is burnt and converted to carbon-dioxide and other trace elements. This carbon dioxide is released as a hot gas in the gas engine exhaust.

The recovery of this gas, also called carbon capture, opens the potential of its utilisation for beneficial purposes including: * Carbon sequestration to negate or reduce carbon emissions * As a growth promoter in plants * As an ingredient in drinks * As a gas in industrial processes Although the utilisation of gas is one of the cleanest types of fuel during combustion there are some trace contaminants in the raw exhaust which would make it unsuitable for the above applications.

Typically, selective catalysts can be utilised in order to remove different contaminants from the raw exhaust gas. In order to concentrate and recover cleaned CO2 different systems are required such as absorption-based fluids & technologies like pressure swing absorption. www.clarke-energy.com

GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION IN EUROPE RAMPS UP WITH PLANS FOR A NEW FACILITY

M

OL Group and Plug Power plan to build one of Europe’s largest-capacity green hydrogen production facilities at MOL’s Danube refinery in Százhalombatta,

Hungary.

Green hydrogen from the facility will reduce the carbon footprint of the Danube refinery operation and enable emission-free mobility in the longer term, both companies have announced.

Using a 10-megawatt (MW) electrolysis unit from Plug Power, MOL’s €22 million facility will be able to produce approximately 1600 tons of clean, carbon-neutral, green hydrogen annually, removing up to 25,000 tons of carbon-dioxide by displacing the currently used natural gas-based production process, MOL has announced.

The process supports MOL’s carbon neutrality goals and will contribute to energy independence for the region, the company said.

Once operational in 2023, MOL will use the green hydrogen in its Danube refinery during fuel production of its own hydrogen system. It will be incorporated into the molecules of MOL fuels, lowering the carbon outputs from the production technology and the final product.

“We are convinced that hydrogen is not only one of the most important energy carriers of the already ongoing energy transition, but it will be an essential factor in the new, carbon-neutral energy system as well.

“This new technology allows the introduction of green hydrogen production in Hungary, Százhalombatta, which makes MOL Group one of the most important players in the sustainable energy economy in the region,” said Gabriel Szabó, executive vice president of downstream at MOL Group.

“Green hydrogen addresses two critical issues facing humanity: climate change and energy independence,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug.

“And our opportunities seem limitless to support the trend to pull green hydrogen into more traditional industrial hydrogen markets throughout the world. We are pleased to provide our state-of-the-art electrolyzer technology to MOL Group’s Danube Refinery and enable MOL Group to take a big step forward in addressing these issues for the region.”

The production of green hydrogen does not generate any greenhouse gas emissions. The Plug equipment uses electricity from a renewable source to split water into oxygen and hydrogen gas by a process called electrolysis. This process does not produce any byproducts which harm the environment, the company said.

www.wipmagazines.com www.powermediagroup.co.uk

By producing one ton of hydrogen, eight-to-nine tons of pure oxygen is also produced by the equipment, saving nearly 10,000 tons of natural gas consumption in the process.

Plug’s electrolyzers are modular, scalable hydrogen generators optimized for clean hydrogen production.

Plug’s independent green hydrogen production network is targeting 70 TPD by the end of 2022 and remains on track to have 500 TPD of green hydrogen generation network in North America by 2025 and 1,000 TPD on a global basis by 2028, the company said.

As part of its strategy to reduce GHG emissions, MOL will invest €1 billion into the low carbon circular economy through 2025.

MOL will reduce the carbon footprint of its operations by 30 percent by 2030 and will spend 50 percent of

investment expenditures on sustainable projects. MOL aims to implement a carbon-neutral operation by 2050.

MOL Group is an international, integrated oil, gas, petrochemicals, and consumer retail company based in Budapest, Hungary.

MOL Group operates three refineries and two petrochemical plants under integrated supply chain management in Hungary, Slovakia, and Croatia, and owns a network of almost 2,000 service stations across 10 countries in Central & SouthEastern Europe.

Plug is building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, from production, storage and delivery to energy generation, to help industry decarbonise the economy. molgroup.info www.plugpower.com

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY HEAT FOR THE CITY OF KUHMO, FINLAND

K

uhmon Lämpö Oy and KPA Unicon have signed a contract for a delivery of a bio-boiler plant to Kuhmo, Finland. The Unicon Renefluid (15MW) bio-plant will produce heat for the residents of the city of Kuhmo and Kuhmo Oy’s sawmill. The plant will use bark, sawdust, and wood chips as fuel.

The commissioning of the district heating bio-boiler plant will take place in autumn 2023. The plant will be delivered as a turnkey solution that includes, an environmentally-friendly Unicon Renefluid fluidised bed boiler.

Other equipment installed includes electrical and automation systems, a modular boiler building, and fuel handling technology.

The bio-boiler plant also includes KPA Unicon’s own Bag filter, which ensures that the plant’s emissions are clean and the air quality in the surrounding area remains good. Bag Filter is a cost-effective way to effectively filter out hazardous particles from the air.

The fsacility will be equipped with KPA Unicon’s PlantSys digital service platform and the plant will have a secure remote control room system (PlantSys Operation) as well as a digital operating log (PlantSys Diary) and a reporting system (PlantSys Reporting).

The modern equipment will be supported for years to come, reports the company.

During the warranty period, the plant will be optimised and monitored with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), so that even the smallest possible problems will be reported immediately thanks to extensive reporting which covers areas such as production, consumption, and emissions.

Janne Heikkinen, Managing Director, Kuhmon Lämpö Oy reports: “The boiler investment will enable an increase in the production capacity of Kuhmo Oy’s sawmill and the expansion of the district heating network in the city of Kuhmo.

“The increase in heat production is both technically and logistically environmentally-friendly and energy efficient, as the biomass used in the plant comes from a sawmill on the same site. The boiler investment will also improve the security of district heating supply and maintenance planning in the future”, Jukka-Pekka Kovanen, Managing Director, KPA Unicon, concludes: “Together with Kuhmon Lämpö Oy, we get a well-designed entity which will complement Kuhmon Lämpö Oy’s district heating and sawmill’s heat production by utilising the sawmill’s by-products as biomass.

“Bag filter, on the other hand, ensures the cleaner environment and better air quality,” he explains.

The Unicon Renefluid boiler plant is regarded as a key solution for district heat and process steam production or power generation under exceptionally varying load conditions.

Renefluid – a Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) combustion technology developed for solid fuels – can help users cut emissions and enhance the efficiency of existing energy production systems.

Renefluid boiler and power plants allow the reliable burning of low-cost fuels and fuels with a wide spectrum of humidity and calorific value.

They are cleaner, more efficient and can provide up to 60 MW output, reports the company.

They’re also flexible and can handle a variety of fuel sources, including wood chips, bark, sawdust, peat, forest residues, pellet, briquettes, agro fuels, landscape residues and industrial excess fuel.

Renefluid boiler island solutions have been designed for sustainable and low cost energy generation, focusing on flexible utilisation of local renewable fuels as well as innovative technologies and lifetime services.

In 2021 a Danish company, DIN Forsyning, together with KPA Unicon signed a contract for the turnkey delivery of a district heating plant to Esbjerg, Denmark.

The combined capacity of the Unicon Renefluid bubbling fluidised

bed (BFB) and the Unicon Condenser flue gas scrubber was 60 MW. Today the boiler plant produces heat for the local district heating network for nearly 100,000 inhabitants and uses wood chips as fuel. The plant will begin its full operation in January 2023.

The boiler plant is based in the port area of Esbjerg. The plant delivered

by KPA Unicon is a significant part of a bigger plan, where three decentralised heat production units will be built on the same site - they will be replacing the existing coalfired power plant.

DIN Forsyning’s strategic goal is to use only fossil free fuels by year 2030 and Unicon Renefluid boiler plant is an important step to enable it to reach this set target. ”The local Combined Heat and Power station (CHP) is to be shut down in April 2023 and DIN Forsyning is obliged to find an environmentally sustainable replacement for up to 350 MW of district heating, we received from the CHP. We are pleased to have signed the contract for the boiler plant from KPA Unicon.

We will use their expertise in this important process of replacing coal with a greener alternative,” says Kenneth Jørgensen, Leading Project Director in DIN Forsyning.

A PARALLELING GENSET CONTROLLER FOR NOW - AND INTO THE FUTURE

C

omAp has announced the launch of the InteliGen 1000, a paralleling gen-set controller for complex power control applications.

InteliGen 1000 represents a culmination in everything that ComAp has learnt about power generation control in the last 30 years, reports the manufacturer.

Its developers had three key values in mind right from the beginning of its design: powerful hardware, communication possibilities with a great focus on cybersecurity, and flexibility.

InteliGen 1000 is ready to be used either in a simple single genset application, right up to complex applications including grid connections, virtual power plants, demand response, or spot price dispatch.

20 times more powerful hardware InteliGen 1000 is around 20 times more powerful than its predecessor - InteliGen NTC BaseBox - and is able to handle both critical and non-critical tasks at the same time.

The controller can communicate with a large number of connected remote devices as well as up to 64 controllers at one site.

IT technology level of security Apart from designing a powerful, flexible controller with all the latest communications options, ComAp’s main focus with the development of the InteliGen 1000 was security.

The InteliGen 1000 brings to the power generation industry best practices from the information technology world.

These include introducing a unique cyphering system for each connection session with the controller, extra authentication for users connecting from the outside, ComAp signed firmware, individual user account logins, data logging, and many others.

All this to protect a customer’s facilities against external cyber-attacks and at the same time, let ting them enjoy the benefits of remote monitoring and connectivity, reports ComAp. Easy to set-up, yet flexible InteliGen 1000 combines pre-programmed functions for genset control to make the controller running in few steps, but there is also an internal PLC interpreter that could be freely used by solution designers to meet their individual project requirements. Its is considered n ambitious addition to the InteliGen line

WORLDWIDE INDEPENDENT POWER

The first InteliGen controller was released in 2000. The InteliGen name has since become synonymous with power generation control and helped to build ComAp´s reputation as a global leader in power generation control.

The release of InteliGen 1000 this year is especially opportune as ComAp remarks the 30th anniversary of its foundation in a small one-room office in Prague, Czech Republic.

The InteliGen 1000 is due for release in Q3, 2022, says the company.

According to ComAp: “The InteliGen 1000 represents a new standard for a genset controller for mid-level to highly complex paralleling applications.

“Designed to meet the demanding requirements of projects such as datacentres and hospitals, meet high level cyber security requirements and still give users a great level of flexibility, configurability - all whilst being easy to use,” reports a company spokesman. The units offers: *Co-operation with up to 64 genset/ mains/tie controllers *Direct communication with ECUs *Secure remote control and monitoring

*Highly-flexible yet configurable solution for switchgear applications Key features The InteliGen 1000 is hardware compliant to the latest switchgear market needs. It offers: -State of the art AC accuracy measurement which allows it to be used on primary frequency control mechanism, grid balancing and demand response projects - Cybersecurity by design, compliant to the ISA62433 standard - A variety of both local and remote monitoring options, with a high number of connected clients split into “trusted” and “untrusted” zones - Mains parallel operation with support of Grid Codes, compliant to European Grid codes ( EN 50549, VDE-AR-N 4110:2018, VDE-AR-N 4105:2019, G99, TOR), American IEEE 1547 and others - Multiple Island operation with co-operation with up to 64 additional genset/mains/tie controllers (InteliGen 1000 or InteliMains 1010) - Several load transfer options with the possibility of less than 100ms load. www.comap-control.com

EVOG RNMENT’S ENERGY SECURITY STRATEGY WILL DO LITTLE TO EASE THE BURDEN FOR CONSUMERS’

The Government’s new Energy Security Supply will do little to ease the burden of the energy price crisis for consumers, warns the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE).

The trade association notes Government plans are largely focused on longterm offshore wind, nuclear and oil and gas development, technologies which will have almost no immediate impact on helping the UK avoid the worst impacts of the current energy price and geopolitical crises.

As the war in Ukraine intensifies and energy bills continue to soar, the government must take immediate action to protect the UK’s energy independence by scaling-up energy efficiency, heat networks and other key decentralised energy technologies.

These are no-regrets solutions to increasing national energy security and protecting against volatility, whilst also not losing sight of net-zero targets.

The wider adoption of heat networks, flexibility and energy efficiency technologies would see the UK require less gas, thereby improving national energy security, significantly reducing bills for consumers, reducing the burden on business and alleviating fuel poverty.

A new private investment framework to deploy energy efficiency measures in owner-occupied homes could form part of a wider plan to cut domestic bills for homeowners by as much as £5 billion annually.

Considering 63% of the country’s homes require less than £1,000 per home to upgrade to EPC Band C, this is a huge opportunity that is not being capitalised upon, argues the ADE.

ACE RESPN O DS TO CURRENT UK CONSTRUCTION M P I FIGURES FOR APRIL 2022 STEPHEN MARCOS JONES REACTS: Stephen Marcos Jones, CEO of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) responds to the latest IHS Markit / CIPS UK Construction PMI figures.

“We are hearing stark warnings – the OBR outlined a poor outlook for the rest of the year in the Spring Statement.

“Only yesterday the Bank of England shared its views that surging inflation could trigger a recession.

While we need to be wary of selffulfilling prophecies, we do need to recognise that we are now in choppy waters and the immediate postpandemic optimism, which positively impacted on construction figures in 2021 and 2022, has now started to dissipate.”

“The conflict in Ukraine is leading to further pressures on materials and the supply chain, fuelling inflation and an increase in project costs.

Stephen Marcos explains: “We need to ensure this doesn’t negatively impact on the pipeline by encouraging public clients to push on through with committed projects – and in some cases to bring them forward – to support the industry through what will undoubtedly be challenging times ahead.”

INNOVATIVE NICKEL-ZINC BATTERY STARTER SOLUTION FOR INDUSTRIAL GENERATOR STARTING MARKET

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL - WHEN IT COMES TO GENSETS Yanmar has released a series of enhanced features to models in its range of YDG Series generators. The units are powered by Yanmar Stage-5-compliant air-cooled L-Series engines and are now available for the first time in Europe.

The YDG generator series includes the YDG3700, which offers four variants with outputs from 3.3 to 3.7 kVA, and the YDG5500 which also has four variants ranging from 5.1 to 5.8 kVA. These industrial-grade portable units were previously made in Japan, but now are being produced in Italy. Yanmar has said that this should help to improve lead times for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Carlo Giudici, Sales & Marketing Director at Yanmar Europe, said: “These upgraded and precision engineered models are brand new entrants into the European market and are established yet meticulously advanced generators which meet all global emissions standards and incorporate cutting edge components.”

According to the company the new generators are especially quiet – with 81 dB(A) - while offering a series of outputs to suit various power requirements. Due to the very low fuel consumption, the generators can be operated at full capacity for up to 10.5 hours.

The generators feature European-made pollutant-tight and waterproof control panel sockets; automatic low oil shutdown protection; high quality stainless steel top covers to counteract outside pressures; and European-built alternators from NSM. The units in the YDG range have compact dimensions (720 x 480 x H 578 mm) and offer the choice between electric and recoil starting. www.yanmar.com DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE ON THE MARKET A new pilote directional control valve has been introduced by Hydac which has been speciallydesigned for for mobile equipment applications.

The new HPK16SE/SF valve is a two-position, threeway,screw-in cartridge valve currently available for size 16 cavities.

“The addition of the HPK16SE and HPK16SF to our broad product offerings has tremendous value,” comments Chase Saylor, group product manager for Compact Hydraulics at Hydac. “It’s a market leader with working pressures up to 5000 psi and flows up to 40 gpm.”

The HPK16 valves can be used for functional control such as flow regulation, pressure compensation and directional control. It also benefits customers with minimal height requirements above the mounting surface conserving precious space important in many mobile applications.

The valves incorporate several design features intended to enhance service life, such as hardened bodies and spools, as well as what the company called “innovative damping features.”

Internal leakage is less than 100 cc/min at 3000 psi, Hydac said.

Multiple preload pressure settings enhance circuit design options, while exten ded operating limits eliminate the need for pressure reducing valves at the pilot ports, the company said. www.hydac-na.com 36
