UK’S BIG BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SITE IS NOW OPERATIONAL - THIS REFLECTS THE EXPONENTIAL RISE OF BESS SYSTEMS
TagEnergy’s Lakeside battery energy storage system (BESS) is now the largest transmission-connected BESS project in the UK after going live earlier this month.
The 100 MW/200 MWh facility in Frax, North Yorkshire, is 100% owned and operated by TagEnergy, with Tesla, Habitat Energy, and RES as project partners.
Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor Tesla provided a system of Tesla Megapack 2XL lithium-ion batteries. Habitat Energy partners as route to market and battery optimiser, with independent renewable energy company RES as asset manager.
Mark Selvaratnam, project manager of Lakeside Energy Park, believes the facility will have a significant impact on the UK’s ’s clean energy transition.
“When the sun is shining and the wind is blowing and we have excess supply, batteries can soak that up and store it. Then, at a later time, we can release that back and get round-the-clock renewable energy.”
The UK has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
Net zero means a country takes as much of these planet-warming gases - such as carbon dioxideout of the atmosphere as it puts in.
“BESS GROWTH THIS YEAR WILL BE HIGHER, AT 72% YEAR-ON-YEAR, WITH 73GWH DEPLOYED.”
Franck Woitiez, CEO, TagEnergy, comments: “For a while, Lakeside will be the largest transmission-connected BESS project in the UK, and it is an important project that truly moves the needle for the energy transition.
“We’re proud to have delivered the project efficiently, energised and connected onto National Grid’s transmission network without significant delays or operating issues. That is exactly what is needed to speed the transition,” he concludes.
BESS can play a wide variety of roles. In the case of residential and commercial systems, the technology is mainly used to optimise energy use, while grid-scale systems today typically provide grid balancing services to grid operators, balance peaks and troughs in energy prices by trading in the electricity market, and provide capacity under agreements as with other renewables like solar and wind.
BESS installations will grow ten times larger between 2022 and 2030, according to research analysts Rystad Energy. Rystad expects annual BESS deployments to grow by an average CAGR of 33% between 2022 and 2030, across all market segments including residential, commercial and grid-scale. From 43GWh of deployments last year, the company predicts some 421GWh of new capacity to come online in 2030. By then almost 110GW will be deployed worldwide.

Grand View Research’s latest report valued the global steam turbine market size at US$ 16.27 billion in 2022 and projected a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5% from 2023 to 2030.
According to a member of its research team: “An increase in the number of power plants is likely to be commissioned to compensate for the energy deficit and this is expected to propel the demand for steam turbines in the coming years.
“The U.S. emerged as the largest market in North America in 2022. An increase in the number of combined-cycle natural gas plants in the country as they are reliable sources of energy is one of the prominent reasons for the rising demand for steam turbines in the U.S. Policymakers in the country are focusing on developing sustainable energy generation plants. We will seen an increase in the number of steam turbine installations in the U.S. from now until 2030.”
The increasing focus of the US government on establishing energy-efficient and clean power generation plants is also contributing to the surge in the number of CHP installations in the country. Rising demand for combined heat and power across North America is expected to drive the growth for the market in the region over the forecast period, says the report.
Over in the UK policymakers are focusing on reducing carbon emissions and carrying out energy-efficient power generation. This has resulted in the formulation and stringent implementation of various environmental and emission norms in the country. Steam turbines are employed in industrial applications for use in CHP units.
Steam turbine manufacturers have taken subsequent steps to provide turbines to end users with ongoing projects. Vendors are opting for digital tools and are following social distancing norms and using PPE to carry out new power plant installations.
Based on capacity, the market for steam turbines has been segmented into up to 150 MW, 151 to 300 MW, and more than 300 MW. In terms of revenue, more than 300 MW accounted for the largest share of 61.61% in the global market in 2022.
Up to 150 MW capacity steam turbines are expected to see significant growth on account of increasing demand for industrial CHP units. CHP units are getting popular across various process industries on account of their superior efficiencies than single units. CHP also serves as a source of direct power,
“THERE

electricity, and heat, and a surge in demand in the recent past has been noted.
Due to high demand for small steam turbines in small- and mid-sized combined cycle power plants (CCPP), combined heat and power (CHP), petrochemicals, biomass, and concentrated solar power (CSP) solutions, the segment is expected to have the highest growth over the forecast period.
In addition, vendors manufacturing steam turbines are more focused on the small steam turbines category due to high demand from steel, cement, chemical, and other industries.
The demand for large capacity steam turbine is expected to see a decline due to the transition to renewable and clean energy technologies from coal-based power technologies in countries across the globe. However, increasing demand
for uninterrupted power supply from developing countries such as China and India is expected to add to the market value of large capacity steam turbinesbetween now and 2030. Based on end-use, the market has been segmented into power & utility and industrial. In terms of revenue, power & utility segment led the market in 2022 by accounting for a share of 85.55% of the market.
Steam turbine units can be paired with any combustion fuel, however; coal has been the preferred fuel in the past. Increasing environmental concerns have restricted the usage of coal-fired power plants and clean energy sources such as natural gas. Moreover, the usage of renewable energy resources has become the need of the hour.
The growth of industrial segment of the market can be attributed to the increased industrial activities across the world.
GAS GENSETS
2MW BIOGAS PLANT IN NORTH MACEDONIA SUPPLIES 4,000 HOUSEHOLDS
Gas gensets reliably produce electricity and heat on a decentralized basis and significantly contribute to power generation. Gensets of the medium MWM series, TCG 2020 and TCG 3020, are very popular, for example, in hospitals, data centres, shopping centres, biogas plants, or the food industry. With a power range between 1 and 2.3 MW, the gas gensets of this series are ideally suited for decentralized energy projects.
A biogas plant in Lozovo (North Macedonia) reliably supplies electrical energy to around 4,000 households with its two TCG 2020 V12 gas gensets. Construction of the plant began in December 2020, and power generation started precisely two years later.
Highly efficient 1 MW gas gensets
The MWM gensets supplied for this project were of the high-efficiency 1 MW design. The engines, powered exclusively by renewable energy and organic waste, also provide 2.1 MW of thermal energy.
But that’s not all: approximately 30,000 tons of natural fertilizer are produced annually as a byproduct of biological processes and used in local agriculture.
The power plant, an investment of Bio Enterprise, was planned and realized by the engineers and technicians of Feroinvest and EMS (Energy Maintenance Solutions). Feroinvest is known in North Macedonia and beyond for its expertise in renewable energy.
Biogas is usually produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic waste in a so-called digester. Instead of allowing the waste to decompose uncontrollably and release gases into the atmosphere, it is stored in an oxygen-deficient environment, such as a covered lagoon or stainless steel tank.
From there, methane is extracted and used as fuel to generate heat and electricity. This way, biogas plants can convert organic waste into energy and valuable by-products such as fertilizer. In addition, biogas plants can continuously generate electricity, which is particularly valuable given the current shift to renewable energy.
Large tomato producer relies on MWM gensets
Wonderplant S.A, one of Greece’s largest tomato producers, also relies on cogeneration with MWM gas gensets Made in Germany.
The Greek vegetable grower produces up to 15,000 tons of tomatoes annually. For the “Wonderplant 2” project and the associated expansion of the greenhouse area, MWM Benelux B.V. installed another cogeneration unit in 2021, powered by eight MWM TCG 2020 V12 gas generator sets.
In 2011, the first greenhouse of the vegetable grower Wonderplant S.A, was built with an area of 105,000 square metres. In 2013, the first cogeneration plant with four MWM TCG 2020 V20 gas gensets with a total capacity of eight MWel was installed by MWM Benelux B.V. to manage the greenhouse.
Since then, the MWM gensets have been in continuous operation and have completed over 70,000 operating hours. In 2018, the greenhouse area was expanded by another 55,000 square meters.
To handle the increased demand for heat and electricity following the expansion of the greenhouse area, MWM Benelux B.V. 2021 installed a new cogeneration plant, including flue gas cleaning for Wonderplant.
The CHP plant is powered by eight MWM TCG 2020 V12 gas gensets with a total output of 9.6 MWel and
10.4 MWth. Both CHP plants have a total capacity of up to 17.9 MWel. The greenhouses can be optimally heated thanks to the new CHP plant with the MWM gas gensets.
The cogeneration plant of “Wonderplant 2” has an annual electrical capacity of 76,800 MW and an annual heat generation of 83,200 MW. After the commissioning of the plant in 2021, the Greek MWM distributor A.EI.M.A S.A. has taken over the maintenance and service work for Wonderplant.
The CHP plant ensures that around 15,000 tons of tomatoes can be harvested annually under optimal growing conditions. With an average per capita consumption in the European Union of 31 kilograms per year, the company now produces enough tomatoes to supply a major city of around half a million inhabitants. www.mwm.net
GREEN AMMONIA
GREEN AMMONIA FOR LOW & ZERO EMISSION POWER GENERATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE MINING SECTOR
Liebherr and Bruno Generators Group have announced that they will work together on a feasibility study which focuses on green ammonia’s viability as the principal fuel for low and zero emission power generation solutions for the mining sector.
Green ammonia, as a hydrogen carrier, could provide low or zero emission ways of supplementing power supplies on site. If successful, these power generation solutions could offer yet another way for mining companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during operations.
At MINExpo2024, in Las Vegas (USA) held on 24th September, Liebherr’s Mining and Components segments officially announced a partnership with Bruno Generators Group (BGG), to work alongside to determine how each party’s expertise can be used to investigate low emission power generation with green ammonia as fuel.
BGG is a premium Italian company that specialises in the design, development and production of cutting-edge power generators, battery energy storage systems and mobile energy solutions.
Liebherr has already investigated ammonia as a power source for dual-fuel internal combustion engines. The results of these investigations are promising and encourage the continued development of this solution.
The potential of green ammonia
Green ammonia is a hydrogen carrier which combines the advantages of lower transport and storage costs compared with compressed or liquified green hydrogen with its future usage as an energy vector in many areas of the world.
Generators and off-board power units running on green ammonia could provide low or zero emission ways of supplementing power supplies on site. Green ammonia generators could provide a reduced emission method of alleviating energy variations or blackouts on site while mobile off-board power units powered by green ammonia could power electric excavators from just outside of the pit, reducing both emissions and infrastructure requirements.
“We’re thrilled to be working with BGG in this incredibly exciting project. Their innovative mindset
development and delivery of low emission solutions are a perfect match for us as we work towards our zero emissions targets,” says Oliver Weiss, executive vice president, R&D, engineering and production, Liebherr-Mining Equipment SAS.
“When our combustion engines business unit saw promising results from ammonia as a low and zero emission power source after multiple test bench runs, we were excited to see how we could capitalise on this to provide even more ways our customers can pursue zero emissions.”
Renato Bruno, chief executive officer, Bruno Generators Group, [pictured below, right, with Oliver Weiss of Libeherr] comments:
“We are very proud of partnering and joining forces with Liebherr Mining in this project. Together, we share a common vision with an uncompromised commitment to sustainability, and we strive to lead the industry in responsible practices.
“This partnership represents an incredible milestone in our pursuit of sustainable solutions for the benefit of our customers in the
mining segment. Sharing and blending our respective expertise will further enhance and naturally boost our innovation mindset, accelerating our journey toward a net zero future.”

HOW IMPORTANT IS GREEN AMMONIA?
Hydrogen forms one of the most important components for manufacturing different fertilisers such as ammonia, where H2 is produced from natural gas by steam reforming process and is combined with nitrogen.
Green ammonia is the common name for ammonia produced by using hydrogen produced from water electrolysis and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and tidal resources.
Due to its higher crop yield and the fact it can be used as precursor for several other fertilisers, today ammonia is - naturally - considered one of the important chemicals for the fertiliser sector.
The largest ammonia producing plant has a capacity of 3,300 metric tons per day. The majority of ammonia produced worldwide is used as fertilizer for agricultural uses; however, ammonia can be used for synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals, gas sensors, explosives and reducing agent, refrigerant, and fuel source for internal combustion engines and fuel cells.
Ammonia is typically produced by combining hydrogen and nitrogen through a method known as the Haber-Bosch process. This so-called “brown ammonia” uses fossil fuels both to provide the hydrogen and the energy source.
Each tonne of ammonia produced releases about 2 tonnes of greenhouse gas. Ammonia like this is produced on a huge scale – it is estimated that around half the world is fed using synthetic nitrogen-based fertilisers.
In the Haber-Bosch process ammonia is produced by catalytically reacting hydrogen with nitrogen at high temperature (300–500°C) and pressure (20–30 MPa) in the presence of KOH− promoted iron oxide catalyst.
The Haber’s process is associated with significant amount of energy input (2.5 EJ) and GHG emissions of about 1.8–2.1 tons per ton of ammonia produced. Thus, utilisation of green hydrogen for production of ammonia would reduce GHG emissions by a significant amount and also enhance energy consumption by using renewable sources.
Green ammonia, in contrast, relies on renewable energy, and derives its hydrogen from water and its nitrogen from air. This form of ammonia production is typically more expensive but is becoming cheaper, not least as renewable energy prices fall.
Aside from the significant benefit of producing fewer emissions, this process is also not reliant on natural gas in the same way as the production of brown ammonia.
This is particularly relevant given that Russia is both a significant producer of ammonia and source of natural gas. Sanctions against Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine have caused fertilizer shortages and prices to skyrocket.
Demand for ammonia is expected to grow significantly over the coming years as the world population expands. There is growing interest in the potential of green ammonia as a sustainable fuel given its low carbon impact.
In particular, there is hope it may help reduce the carbon footprint of the shipping industry, although there are some hurdles, including around storage and distribution, which need to be overcome.
It is, however, likely to be easier and cheaper to store and transport than hydrogen, which is also touted as a potential clean fuel source.
Because of this, ammonia may also find use as a hydrogen carrier. It has potential as a replacement for fossil fuels in industrial processes and electricity generation. For example, ammonia may provide a long-term way of storing and transporting
energy from renewable sources.
Several big ammonia producers have already announced projects to make hydrogen from water using renewable energy.
Yara, one of the world’s largest fertilizer and ammonia producers is one of them, with pilots in Australia, Norway, and the Netherlands.
Yara also recently announced plans to electrify its ammonia plant in Norway, thereby potentially removing 800,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, provided the required public co-funding and regulatory framework are in place.
CF Industries in the US, Fertiberia and Iberdrola in Spain and the Asian Renewable Energy Hub and Fortescue Metals Group in Australia, amongst others, have begun green ammonia pilot programs around the world.
BloombergNEF estimates that industry will need US$150 billion in subsidies by 2030, and far more overall investment.
However, if the hydrogen economy is fully developed, it could become a US$12 trillion market, according to some estimates.
Germany has allocated the largest share of its clean energy stimulus funds to green hydrogen, Korea and Japan have also rolled out roadmaps to guide H2 -related investments.

ALTERNATORS ARE A KEY PART OF A GENSET PACKAGE - A 1250 KVA DIESEL GENERATOR
Mecc Alte alternators - ECO43 VL4 - ECO46 1L4A – were key components of a recent contract supplied to a refinery in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
COELMO was involved in the design, production, installation and commissioning of two 1250 and 1600 kVA Coelmo Generating Sets in ESP, 50Hz, 400 V, 1500 rpm supplied to the Refinery.
These are equipped with: Baudouin Engine 12M33G1250/5 - 16M33G1700/5; Mecc Alte alternators ECO43 VL4 - ECO46 1L4A; 40 ft container, 85 dB(A) 1 m; Automatic control panel with remote start; Fire detection and CO2 extinguishing system; and 2,500 and 3,000-litre external fuel tank.
The Baudouin 12M33G1250/5 engine is currently the smallest engine from the 12M33 range nonetheless it is still a powerful engine. The engine comes with a turbocharger and air- to-air aftercooler and it is currently manufactured in France and China. The 12-cylinder engine is set up to run at 50 Hz and comes with mechanical pump fuel injection system.
This 12M33G1250/5 Baudouin engine produces 1485.9 horsepower (1108 kWm) when running at 1500 RPM and has a total displacement of 39.2-litres.
The engine is available for use in diesel generators at Prime (PRP) or Standby (ESP) ratings. The Baudouin 12M33G1250/5 fuel consumption depends on its load. At 1500 rpm prime power it is has the following fuel consumption (percent of prime power): At 50% it uses 119.3 litres/hr. At 75% it uses 175 litres/hr. At 100% it uses 236.2 litres/hr. At Emergency Standby Power it uses 262.4 litres/hr.
The dimensions of this Baudouin diesel engine are 3511mm in length, 2192mm in width and 2246mm in height and a (dry) weight of 4395kg (all measurements including the radiator).
The cylinders have a bore of 150mm and stroke of 185mm. This large engine can be coupled with an alternator to create a powerful diesel generator which can be used for power generation in multiple industries. If a greater power output is required the generators could be placed in parallel increasing the total power output.
The Baudouin 16M33G1700/5 engine is currently the smallest engine from the 16M33 range however that’s not to say it isn’t a powerful engine.
The engine is turbocharged and makes use of an air to water aftercooler. It has a cast iron cylinder block and cylinder liners with separate cast iron cylinder valves with 4 valves.
The 16-cylinder, 50 Hz engine comes with a highpressure common rail fuel injection system with one high pressure pump which drives in the V angle of the cylinder block. This powerful diesel engine is made in France and China. This 16M33G1700/5 Baudouin engine [below] produces 2051.7 horsepower (1530 kWm) when running at 1500 RPM.
Key to the smooth operation of the engines are two alternators:
* MECC ALTE - ECO43 VL4: The ECO43 range has many product features designed into the alternator. Self-regulation is obtained through a digital electronic regulator that is fed by an auxiliary winding. Mecc Alte guarantee an almost constant supply from the generator – under any possible operating condition.

UNDERSTANDING AVAILABILITY IN UPS SYSTEMS
Availability or “uptime” can be confused with reliability. However, there are important differences between the two terms and understanding the distinction between availability and reliability can help with UPS selection, as they influence how well a critical power protection system will support a load.
This article, by Louis McGarry, Sales & Marketing Director, Centiel, is the second in a series of six.
The Importance of Reliability
Reliability is the probability that a system will not fail. Availability is the probability that a system is operating as and when required.
With the above in mind, whilst reliability is very important it not the most important factor in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) design. Power protection systems need to be AVAILABLE every second of every day, and so maximising system availability is the most important goal for the installation of any UPS solution.
Let’s look at the two terms in in more detail: Reliability: A system’s reliability can never be 100% because any mechanical system will fail eventually. The probability that the solution will fail is known as the system’s failure rate.
Often this is measured in time or hours and referred to as: Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF). However, only looking at reliability data can be misleading when used in isolation.
Availability: As well as considering the probability a solution is operating when required, we need to look at how long it takes to repair after failure, known as: Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).
The formula for calculating system availability is: Availability = MTBF/(MTBF+MTTR) and it shows that Availability is the result of both MTBF and MTTR. To achieve a greater Availability the MTBF should be as high as possible and the MTTR should be as low as possible. It also clearly shows that the key determinant of Availability is MTTR, not MTBF, i.e. the lower the MTTR, the higher the system availability.
Considering Topology
Configuration and topology will significantly affect system availability. A single standalone or mono-block UPS may be more reliable than a multi-module system because it has fewer components to fail.
Hhowever, a single component failure in a mono-block UPS may cause the system to fail.
To overcome this problem, two separate mono-block UPS can be paralleled together in a “parallel redundant” configuration. Component failure in one UPS will not now result in system failure because the second UPS will support the load.
Because mono-block UPS are large, any repair needs to take place in situ by qualified and trained engineers attending the site. As a result, the MTTR is high and the system availability is reduced.
Rack Mounted Modular UPS
As with mono-block UPS, in a rack mounted modular UPS system, independent UPS modules are paralleled together to form a complete system. In the “Understanding Modularity in UPS Systems: An Overview” article in this “ilities” series we saw that rack-mounted modular UPS incorporating “hot swap” or “safe swap” UPS modules had many advantages over mono-block
UPS including that of very low MTTR because a faulty UPS module is simply swapped for a new UPS module.
Market-leading modular UPS systems have MTTRs of less than 3 minutes. Such very low MTTRs maximise system availability.
Best in Class Availability
The Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano and the ETH Zurich published a white paper entitled: Evaluating Availability of Centiel UPS Architecture.
This white paper modelled, evaluated and compared the availability of typical UPS configurations and architectures and concluded that class leading availability of 99.9999999% (9-nines) was exclusively achieved by Centiel because of how it used its innovative technology to simultaneously maximise MTBF and minimise MTTR.
Nerds can Google & download the white paper if they don’t ask me to explain the math or what a Markov chain is.
Conclusion
Although highly reliable modules are necessary to ensure a highly available power protection solution, it is essential to understand what modular topology is used, how the modules are configured and thereby their MTTR to achieve maximum system availability to support the critical load.
What Centiel Does Passionate about innovation, quality
and sustainability, Centiel’s team design, manufacture and deliver industry-leading critical power protection solutions.

NEW 299MW ENERGY PROJECT WILL BENEFIT IRELAND’S ENERGY GRID
Ansaldo Energia has signed a contract for a new 299 MW energy security project at Poolbeg in Dublin, Ireland. In consortium with Cobra, Ansaldo Energia will supply final customer, the Electricity Supply Board (ESB), with a state-of-theart AE94.3A gas turbine and the associated generator which will contribute to energy security and transition in Ireland.
The AE94.3A was chosen for its reliability, costeffectiveness, and high performance. The turbine is ideally suited for peak load applications, which was a key factor in winning the contract.
The project involves the development of a simple cycle power plant that will strengthen the operational flexibility and stability of Ireland’s power system with ever-increasing penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources.
In doing so, the AE94.3A showcases its rapid response capability to fluctuating energy needs.
The AE94.3A gas turbine has field-proven excellent results in terms of operational flexibility and reliability, with 115 units installed worldwide and more than 5 million of equivalent operating hours.
Scheduled for completion in early 2027, the power station is a significant contribution to Ireland’s energy infrastructure.
“We are proud in the trust that ESB had once again placed in our products,” says Stefano Gianatti, EVP New Units of Ansaldo Energia. “We consider this achievement as a reward for our technological and manufacturing excellence and testament to Ansaldo Energia’s record as a trusted partner for energy security and transition”.
“IN CONSORTIUM WITH COBRA, ANSALDO ENERGIA WILL SUPPLY FINAL CUSTOMER, THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BOARD (ESB), WITH A STATE-OF-THE-ART AE94.3A GAS TURBINE AND THE ASSOCIATED GENERATOR WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ENERGY SECURITY AND TRANSITION IN IRELAND.
THE AE94.3A WAS CHOSEN FOR ITS RELIABILITY, COSTEFFECTIVENESS, AND HIGH PERFORMANCE. THE TURBINE IS IDEALLY SUITED FOR PEAK LOAD APPLICATIONS, WHICH WAS A KEY FACTOR IN WINNING THE CONTRACT, REPORTS THE COMPANY.
Ansaldo Energia’s great operational flexibility which means the turbines can be started up quickly - these turbines have cumulated over 5 million equivalent operating hours worldwide.
They are a well-established solution with applications for baseload and peak, suitable for both Combined and Simple Cycle plants.
Both the hardware and the control system offer advanced selfadjustment capability.
-They can easily adapt to the chemical composition of natural gas and different gas blends.
-They can burn hydrogen up to 40% reverting at any moment to 100% CH4 for safe backup operation.
- They offer a proven Hydrogen capability: two units operating on a hydrogen fuel mix of 25% have been in commercial operation since 2006, accumulating over 300,000 equivalent operating hours.
- With the addition of Autotune (a digital system that automatically tunes the engine to actual ambient conditions), they always run at the edge of their performances.
A spokesman for Grupo Cobra comments: “This large-scale project in Ireland includes all engineering, construction, supply of materials and equipment, as well as the operation and maintenance of the plant. The plant will be equipped with a state-of-
the-art gas turbine and associated generator, providing a total capacity of 299 MW. This additional capacity will allow the Irish electricity system to facilitate more power from renewable energy sources, acting as a crucial backup generator.”
The addition of this new plant will help meet Ireland’s growing energy demands and facilitate greater integration of renewable energy, promoting a more sustainable and reliable energy system.
Grupo Cobra has extensive experience in the construction of both open and combined cycle power plants.
Throughout its history, it has built approximately 11 GW of installed capacity in several countries, including Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Ireland, Germany, Peru, Brazil, Ivory Coast and Belgium. This experience and technical capacity consolidate Grupo Cobra as an international benchmark in the energy sector, reports the company.

It can handle higher voltages and temperatures, making it suitable for power electronics.
Wolfspeed developed the 2300 V silicon carbide module to increase market scalability through design simplifications. System designers can use less expensive PCBs to reduce overall manufacturing costs. Compared to standard bus bar solutions, a simplified design process is said to save money and development time. Wolfspeed’s SiC modules integrate a two-level topology, simplifying the system design and reducing the number of drivers. www.wolfspeed.com
NEW GE VERNOVA H-CLASS TECHNOLOGY TO MODERNISE POWER PLANT IN JAPAN
GE Vernova Inc. has announced an order for three new GE Vernova 7HA.03 gas turbines to be installed at The Kansai Electric Power Company, Inc.’s Nanko power station in Osaka, Japan.
GE Vernova’s advanced 7HA.03 power generation equipment will replace the existing ageing conventional LNG power generation assets (consisting of three boilers and three steam turbines) and is expected to increase power plant efficiency, while reducing its carbon-dioxide emissions.
Japan has set ambitious targets to achieve net zero by 2050 as per the latest Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) plans. Japan’s energy system is in transition, and the country is achieving this decarbonisation goal by setting up investments in lower carbon generation sources and the support of “Economic Efficiency”, one of the three “S+3E” pillars within the revised national 6th Strategic Energy Plan (including also “Safety plus Energy Security”, and “Environmental Sustainability”).
“The plant is expected to deliver up to 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of electricity to the grid in total and to be the among the most efficient in the country,” said Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO, Asia of GE Vernova’s Gas Power.
“In addition, 7HA.03 gas turbine technology currently has the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas, with a technology pathway to 100% over the next decade.
“We look forward to bringing this advanced technology to Kansai Electric, with whom we have a longstanding relationship built on years of mutual respect and trust, to help revitalize the Japanese power industry with more efficient and more sustainable technology, in alignment with the country’s energy goals.”
In addition, GE Vernova is also expected to provide field services.
GE Vernova is a key player in Japan’s energy transition, having enabled power generation for Japan for more than 130 years. To date, the company delivers more than 50% of Japan’s heavy duty gas power capacity and supports the country’s growing renewable and nuclear energy needs. www.gevernova.com
