EDITOR’S NOTE HYPE OR OTHERWISE, it is difficult to ignore the influence Artificial Intelligence (AI) has in our lives. The ripple effect has spilled over to the utilities sector too. An E&Y report has stated that the UAE is the second highest regional investor in AI, investing US$2.15bn in the last 10 years. This means its importance cannot be underestimated. Our Annual Power Analysis (p16) throws light on how AI has the potential to deliver value to the regional power sector. Meanwhile, PDO is demonstrating its expertise in cutting greehouse emissions (p22). Just as energy saving has been a priority for power corporations, so has cost saving been in the transportation sector for the MENA region.

UD Trucks’ (p40) and Mercedes‐Benz’ (p42) latest additions will help boost profitability for owners. Also, do not miss our Annual Electrical Equipment Buyers’ Guide (p56) offering a comprehensive guide to the region’s power industry.

Briefly Chinese firm signs solar tracker supply deal for Omani power plant ARCTECH SOLAR, CHINA-BASED solar tracking and racking system provider, will supply 125MW solar trackers to a solar power plant in Oman.

Located in the southern part of the sultanate, the plant will be commissioned by 2019‐end and will power Petroleum Development Oman’s (PDO) interior operations by using Arctech’s SkySmart tracking system, Arctech Solar said.

The PDO’s solar plant not only marks the first‐of‐its‐kind in Oman and the world’s first utility‐scale solar project with an oil and gas company as the sole wholesale buyer of electricity, but also the single‐largest tracking system project with bifacial modules in Middle East to date.

With a structural design that effectively reduces module backside standing and its efficient factory pre‐assembly, Arctech’s SkySmart tracking system will be deployed on the project to offer higher energy output, while also reducing the labour cost associated with field installation.

Scatec Solar connects additional 65MW power plant in Egypt SCATEC SOLAR AND partners have grid connected and reached commercial operation for another 65MW of the 400MW Benban project in Egypt. Scatec Solar now has 130MW in operation in Egypt and expects to have completed the project during second half of 2019.

The Benban solar power plant is Scatec Solar’s largest project under construction and the first solar plant with bi‐facial solar panels, capturing the sun from both sides of the panels to increase the total clean energy generation.

In April 2017, Scatec Solar with its partners KLP Norfund and Africa 50 signed a 25‐year power purchase agreement with the government of Egypt for delivery of electricity from six solar plants, equal in size, totaling 400MW. The estimated annual 870GWh of electricity produced from Scatec Solar’s plants in Benban will avoid about 350,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year and provide energy for more than 420,000 households in Egypt.

Tackling carbon emissions with renewables AS THE URGENCY to take bold climate action grows, new analysis by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) finds that scaling‐up renewable energy combined with electrification could deliver more than three quarters of the energy‐related emission reductions needed to meet global climate goals.

According to the latest edition of IRENA’s Global Energy Transformation: A Roadmap to 2050, launched in April, pathways to meet 86 per cent of global power demand with renewable energy exist.

Electricity would cover half of the global final energy mix. Global power supply would more than double over this period, with the bulk of it generated from renewable energy, mostly solar PV and wind.

“The race to secure a climate safe future has entered a decisive phase,” said IRENA director‐ general Francesco La Camera, adding, “Renewable energy is the most effective and readily‐available solution for reversing the trend of rising CO2 emissions. A combination of renewable energy with a deeper electrification can achieve 75 per cent of the energy‐related emission reduction needed.”

An accelerated energy transition in line with the Roadmap 2050 would also save the global economy up to US$160 trillion cumulatively over the next 30 years in avoided health costs, energy subsidies and climate damages. Every dollar spent on energy transition would pay off up to seven times. The global economy would grow by 2.5 per cent in 2050. However, climate damages can lead to significant socioeconomic losses.

“The shift towards renewables makes economic sense,” added La Camera. “By mid‐century, the global economy would be larger, and jobs created in the energy sector would boost global

employment by 0.2 per cent. Policies to promote a just, fair and inclusive transition could maximise the benefits for different countries, regions and communities. This would also accelerate the achievement of affordable and universal energy access. The global energy transformation goes beyond a transformation of the energy sector. It is a transformation of our economies and societies.”

But action is lagging, the report warns. While energy‐related CO2 emissions continued to grow by more than one per cent annually on average in the last five years, emissions would need to decline by 70 per cent below their current level by 2050 to meet global climate goals. This calls for a significant increase in national ambition and more aggressive renewable energy and climate targets.

IRENA’s roadmap recommends that national policy should focus on zero‐carbon long‐term strategies. It also highlights the need to boost and harness systemic innovation. This includes fostering smarter energy systems through digitalisation as well as the coupling of end‐use sectors, particularly heating and cooling and transport, via greater electrification, promoting decentralisation and designing flexible power grids.

DEWA announces RFP for floating solar power plants DUBAI ELECTRICITY AND Water Authority (DEWA) has issued a request for proposal (RFP) for appointing consultants to study, develop and construct floating solar photovoltaic plants in the Gulf. This is a new and innovative initiative by DEWA to use solar power that supports the objectives of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 (DCES 2050) to diversify the energy mix in Dubai, to make the emirate a global hub for clean energy and green economy, and provide 75 per cent of Dubai’s total power output from clean energy by 2050.

The consultancy services include a feasibility study, the technical requirements for a floating solar photovoltaic plant, an environmental impact assessment report, a study of the marine requirements, and other studies on setting up electrical transmission, a safety plan, and a seawater feasibility studies including tidal and system specifications, and system performance.

Briefly Hyundai E&C wins desalination project in Iraq for US$2.45bn HYUNDAI ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION has clinched a US$2.45bn deal to build a seawater processing facility in Iraq, marking its first overseas contract this year.

The South Korean builder has signed a letter of intent (LoI) with the state‐run Basra Oil Company for a 49‐month project to build a seawater supply plant in the southern state of Basra. Once completed, the facility will be capable of supplying five million barrels of fresh water per day.

A company press release stated, “The latest deal reflects the Iraq government’s trust in Hyundai E&C’s technology for large‐scale plant construction. Hyundai E&C will play a key role in building oil refineries, electric facilities and residential buildings in the country.”

The South Korean builder first set foot in Iraq back in 1977, starting with a sewage construction project and later expanding onto thermal power plants, railways and oil refineries projects worth US$7bn.

IHS plans to operate 30,000 telecom towers in Saudi Arabia in five years TELECOMS TOWER COMPANY IHS plans to operate up to 30,000 masts in Saudi Arabia within the next five years. The Mauritius‐headquartered IHS said, in March, it had struck a deal with Zain KSA to buy its 8,100 towers in Saudi Arabia. It will then lease them back to the operator.

Sam Darwish, group chief executive at IHS Towers, said the group was interested in talks with additional telecoms operators in Saudi Arabia, which include Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Mobily.

Another route to growth in Saudi Arabia is for IHS to build its own towers, rather than acquiring them from telcos, Darwish said. “Saudi Arabia is just beginning now the 5G rollout. With 5G, you’re going to need a lot of towers, because 5G uses different spectrums,” he said.

The agreement with Zain KSA — which is subject to regulatory approval — also involves IHS building at least 1,500 new telecoms towers over the next six years. The deal marks IHS’ second in the GCC, following a previous agreement with Zain Kuwait.

ABU DHABI FUTURE Energy Company (Masdar) said its consortium comprising EDF Renewables and Green of Africa has been awarded the tender for the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the Noor Midelt Phase 1 multi‐technologies solar power plant in Morocco.

The 800MW plant will be located 20km north of the town of Midelt, in the high plains surrounding the Moulouya river and between the Middle and High Atlas mountains.

Construction on the project is expected to begin in Q4 2019, while energy will be delivered to the grid in 2022, said a statement from Masdar.

Noor Midelt Phase 1 is the third project that EDF Renewables and Masdar will be working on this project together.

EDF Renewables is a partner in Shua’a Energy 2, the joint venture led by DEWA developing the 800MW third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, the first 200MW stage of which was inaugurated in April 2018.

The two companies are also partners in the

recently announced Dumat Al Jandal wind farm, which, at 400MW, will be Saudi Arabia’s first and MENA’s largest wind energy project.

The Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (Masen) said the project is the world’s first advanced hybridisation of concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) technologies.

On completion, it will provide dispatchable solar energy during the day and until five hours after sunset for a record‐low tariff at peak hours of US$0.07 per kWh. On the contract win, Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, said, “We applaud Morocco’s bold renewable energy vision and its commitment to the large‐scale development of a groundbreaking technology combining solar power with storage, which will achieve new levels of cost and operational efficiency.”

The project is a key milestone towards the achievement of Morocco’s objective to have 52 per cent of its electricity generation produced from renewable sources by 2030.

Solar park for Carrefour stores in Jordan MAJID AL FUTTAIM has signed an agreement with UAE‐based Yellow Door Energy, regional commercial solar developer, to bring solar power to Carrefour stores in Jordan.

The 17‐megawatt build‐own‐operate‐transfer (BOOT) wheeling agreement will provide Carrefour stores located in Amman, Zarqa, Madaba and Al‐Salt with 29 GWhr of clean energy in the first year of operation, meeting 100 per cent of the retailer’s electricity needs in those areas.

Alain Enjalbert, country manager for Carrefour Jordan at Majid Al Futaim Retail, said, “Sustainability plays an important role in our business as illustrated by our Net Positive Strategy, which aims to over compensate our water consumption and carbon emissions resulting in a positive corporate footprint by

Technical Review Middle East - Annual Power Review 2019

2040. The BOOT solar agreement will prove not only integral to helping us achieve our goals but also halving our energy costs, allowing us to pass the savings on to our loyal customers across Jordan.”

BOOT is a form of project financing, wherein a private entity receives a concession from the private or public sector to finance, design, construct, own, and operate a facility stated in the contract.

As the BOOT solar provider, Yellow Door Energy will invest in, design, construct, commission, operate and maintain the solar park. Located east of Amman, the solar park will span an area of 366,000 sq m and will comprise 300,000 solar panels. The park is expected to be completed and generating clean energy for Carrefour Jordan by Q1 2020. www.technicalreview.me

Executive Strategy

Tapping safety and efficiency together HE WATER SUPPLIED by the UAE municipalities meet the World Health Organization (WHO) water safety standards, yet the country is also the largest consumer of bottled drinking water today. Why is that? Ronak Monga, segment development manager, Grundfos Gulf Distribution FZE, explains the predicament.

“This is because consumers are not sure what happens to the water once it is within the building.”

According to a WHO report, the integrity of well‐managed distribution systems is one of the most important barriers that protect drinking water from contamination. He maintained that if the pumps that go into the buildings are selected with hygiene in mind, there shouldn’t be a reason for anyone to not use the water directly.

The main idea behind the event was to put the things in the right perspective.

Speaking to Technical Review Middle East, Monga said, “We wanted to break the myths on the pump systems and use facts to change the mindset. Our event today also consisted of activities that encouraged our customers to show what they know and how we can help change the ‘usual’ approach to achieve cost optimisation and energy efficiency.

“Sadly, even in iconic projects across the GCC, the booster pumps are one of the most ignored parts of the buildings. To imagine that these will be supplying water to the residents is heartbreaking. I have witnessed all standards of electrical, mechanical and hygiene being compromised to save some money. We do not want our customers to compromise on this.”

At the workshop, the latest upgrade to Grundfos CR Booster Pumps – XL CR Booster – was also unveiled that it helps boost the pressure of water supply equally during demanding times and in high occupancy buildings.

The role of a pressure booster is critical in buildings as well as municipality networks to

maintain specified flow at all times.

According to Monga, the vertical multistage pump is one of the best for boosting of water pressure. “Vertical multistage pumps have had limitations on size and capacity of flow, which is why other types of pumps like single stage have landed up to transfer water. These pumps run throughout the day but they are not the best tools for the job thereby decreasing efficiency.

“As pioneers in pump efficiency, we developed a product that could meet the higher capacity demands even for the most demanding applications. That was the reason behind the birth of XL CR Booster Pumps. We have focused on efficiency for mission‐critical applications, reliability, and robustness. Now, we are able to assemble

Technical Review Middle East - Annual Power Review 2019

up to six XL CR pumps into packaged booster systems with compatible controls and VFDs, meeting capacity up to 1,500 cu/m per hour.”

With over 50 booster units ready for dispatch on display, the six CRE – XL booster unit assembled at the UAE’s homegrown ISO 9906 certified Grundfos factory stole the spotlight. The booster is one of the four boosters for a UAE‐based water authority, aimed to provide access to clean drinkable water to more than 5,000 residents.

In the UAE, water and energy savings go hand in hand. The Supreme Council of Energy launched the Demand Side Management Strategy 2030 to reduce energy and water demand by 30 per cent by 2030 as part of its efforts to make Dubai a leading example of energy efficiency regionally and globally. ■ www.technicalreview.me

AI already is, to some degree, directly impacting jobs within the power sector, across generation, plant operations and maintenance, with the adoption of sensors and enhanced digitisation.

Breaking barriers Technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning have the potential to deliver great value to the Middle East’s power industry, both for businesses and consumers, but it still early days. Martin Clark and Rhonita Patnaik report.

N THE WAKE of the Fourth Industrial revolution, governments and businesses across the Middle East are beginning to realise the shift globally towards AI and advanced technologies.

They are faced with a choice between being a part of the technological disruption, or being left behind. A PwC study estimates that the Middle East is expected to accrue two per cent of the total global benefits of AI in 2030. This is equivalent to US$320bn.

Remarkably, the GCC, especially the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman, has shown a promising commitment towards the development and adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) to improve the efficiency of the energy sector.

These can also put together an effective model of sustainability – an agenda that the region is so devoted to.

Now advances in AI and related technologies such as ML, natural language processing (NLP) and robotics, among others, are moving things on.

The global AI market is expected to reach US$3.06 trillion by 2025, and how much of that is dedicated to energy sectors, at this stage, is difficult to measure.

Collectively, these technologies allow machines to sense, interpret, act and learn on data to aid decision‐making. And, in an industry that operates 24/7 and produces a vast amount of data, the adoption of these advances in the electricity sector is clear.

Digitised generation and energy retailing utilising AI and ML could be among the areas to benefit.

Earlier this year, a report from Informa Exhibitions noted that AI adoption in the region’s electricity sector will result in data analytics that will “improve plant efficiencies via improved systems for asset www.technicalreview.me

Over the next several years, AI is expected to boost efficiencies across the renewable energy sector by automating operations in the solar and wind industries.

management, control and monitoring and automation.”

It added, “The need for more complete data is also driving the industry, which in turn is driving requirements for autonomous surveillance drones, better sensors, cybersecurity protocols, and supply chain optimisation.”

AI already is, to some degree, directly impacting jobs within the power sector, across generation, plant operations and maintenance, with the adoption of sensors and enhanced digitisation.

As the trend accelerates, it has implications for the wider economy, with McKinsey & Co pointing out that Saudi Arabia might look to focus on developing skills that complement the rise of AI and automation, rather than creating redundant jobs better done by machines.

Industry solutions Industry has been a driving force in the development of AI technologies, by leading players such as IBM, Microsoft, Schneider and Siemens among others.

“In combination with other technologies like Big Data, cloud, and Internet of Things (IoT), AI can support the active management of electricity grids by improving the accessibility of renewable energy sources,” noted Swagath Navin Manohar, an energy research analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

In addition to making the electricity system intelligent and flexible, AI algorithms help utilities and energy companies understand and optimise consumer behaviour and manage energy consumption across different sectors,” added Manohar.

“Meanwhile, complex machine learning algorithms combined with real‐time weather data from satellites, ground‐based observation, and climate models can be used to forecast the electricity generated by renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and ocean.”

And yet across much of the energy landscape, notably the oil and gas industry, it has been a slow uptake.

A report by Ernst & Young states that AI has the power to “disrupt and transform the relationship between people and machines, and drive greater productivity in businesses.”

However, for the most part, it says oil and gas has invested proportionally less on AI‐ related technologies than other sectors like banking, IT and software.

Still, AI, when combined with modern high‐powered super computing, has the potential to transform the large volumes of data collected by energy firms, enabling them to use that data in ways it has never been used before — processing quickly, drawing correlations, learning and ultimately helping make better predictions to cut costs. “The AI revolution is already

here for some,” the report states, “and for others — such as oil and gas — it’s just around the corner.”

While early moves have been made, and are already delivering tangible results for the region’s electricity industry, it is still something of an opportunity waiting to happen.

That could be a good thing for a regional power sector under relentless pressure to deliver against ever‐rising demand and high costs.

Ian Sykes, regional director at Sensus, a Xylem Inc company and a dedicated provider of data‐based solutions for critical infrastructure both in water and electricity, spoke to Technical Review Middle East about the AI in the energy landscape in the Middle East.

“The Middle East, in particular the UAE, is experiencing an unparalleled digital transformation across all sectors, with governments increasingly focused on leveraging digital technologies such as AI and Big Data to achieve competitive advantage.

The water sector is an example of one area making strides in harnessing the power of AI to deliver ever increasing efficiencies for the end‐user, as well as leveraging data analytics to improve the uses of technology.

DEWA recently announced that it would develop the world’s first automated, artificial‐intelligence‐powered renewable www.technicalreview.me

energy digital utility in Dubai – pioneering a new model of utility services driven by innovation. The Abu Dhabi government officials too have announced plans to leverage AI and digital transformation to manage water consumption and monitor resources.”

The development of intelligent infrastructures and automated systems not only allows utilities to monitor a wide range of assets in real‐time, creating many business efficiencies, but also enables the energy sector to tap into a more complete data set up, including better sensors, cyber security protocols and supply chain optimisation.

The commercial potential of offering AI capabilities for utility companies is abundantly obvious in more ways than one, but there is a lot to be said for partnering with companies that have perfected their experience within one field to ensure the best possible delivery, as well as having the depth of experience and skill to understand the implementation from end‐to‐end.

Meanwhile Sykes added that

cybersecurity and AI have long gone hand in hand. The security of an energy network is a major concern for any energy provider. It is, therefore, vital that agile, intelligent security processes are implemented throughout the company, with regular audits and reviews, to ensure that all internal and external communication is secure and protected.

“Some often rest on their laurels once industry standard levels are ‘achieved’.

However, it is not these standards themselves that are the most important aspect in delivering a highly secure system.

Rather it is how these security methods are implemented and integrated. At Sensus, we’ve built a secure, end‐to‐end system architecture throughout FlexNet, using best practices and the highest industry security standards. If a utility is putting their trust into the hands of a supplier, for instance, they need to be sure that the best internal security guidelines are being adhered to.”

Saudi Arabia A major Saudi‐British initiative aimed at advancing clean energy and AI technologies

is now underway in the kingdom.

This follows Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to the UK last year during which he signed several memorandums of understanding, including one between the Saudi‐British Joint Business Council and investors, to promote knowledge exchanges in the field of technological investment.

As part of the new plan to push clean energy, Saudi Arabia proposes to invest an estimated US$50bn in renewable energy development projects by 2023 as part of its Vision 2030 programme. The country also aims to invest in AI technologies for smart sustainable energy systems.

Under terms of the agreement, the two countries will have an annual Energy and Industry Dialogue to identify future areas of collaboration.

In the GCC’s largest economy, power demand is steadily on the rise, pushed ever upwards through a heady combination of rapid population growth, industrial and economic expansion. While this is a big test for the Saudi Electric Company (SEC), it is

Annual Power Review

fighting on other fronts as well, including diversifying energy sources and improving the nation’s environmental footprint. Last year, Saudi Arabia reported burning an average of 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil for power generation, the lowest amount since at least 2009. Though Saudi Arabia burns more crude oil directly for power generation than any other country (Iraq is second), it is nonetheless a move forward. Despite steady increases in both population and electricity consumption, the kingdom managed to reduce its reliance on crude oil for power generation by increasing the use of other energy sources, such as natural gas and fuel oil. The growth of the renewables sector is also a priority. Energy minister Khalid al‐Falih told an industry event in Abu Dhabi that Saudi Arabia planned to issue tenders for at least 12 renewable energy projects in 2019. It aims to develop about 60 GW of renewable energy capacity in the next 10 years, a mix of photovoltaic solar power, concentrated solar power and wind power. Other major initiatives are underway as well, including SEC’s plans for large‐scale smart metering, working with key technology providers such as Nokia. Tariff hikes are also expected to ease demand growth, among other demand‐side measures.

The UAE

While the UAE’s sustained economic success has pushed its electricity needs ever higher, it can look to ease the pressure through nuclear energy. The country hopes to be the first GCC state to utilise nuclear power with the launch of the Barakah plant in Abu Dhabi. Nawah Energy Company, the joint venture firm formed by the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) and the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), is hoping to start operations between end 2019 and early 2020, a major boost for both the power sector and the UAE’s prestige.

The nation’s nuclear regulator is currently in the final stage of issuing a licence to the operator. The US$25bn project was originally expected to start up in 2017. The first of four proposed units will deliver around 1,400MW to the grid.

security protocols and supply chain optimisation.

The commercial potential of offering AI capabilities for utility companies is abundantly obvious in more ways than one, but there is a lot to be said for partnering with companies that have perfected their experience within one field to ensure the best possible delivery, as well as having the depth of experience and skill to understand the implementation from end‐to‐end.

Last year, the UAE’s Ministry of Climate Change and the Environment (MOCCAE) teamed up with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Khalifa University of Science and Technology to launch a new artificial intelligence lab.

The lab will use AI technology to identify concentrated solar energy locations as well as monitor and analyse levels of air pollutants in the country. Three main systems include real‐time maps of solar photovoltaic locations in the UAE, an environmental monitoring system and a marine environment monitoring system.

According to the MOCCAE, the solar photovoltaic maps will help determine the best locations for solar panels and will contribute to an integrated system of solar power plants.

Like other GCC states, demand for electricity is rising fast in Oman. The country recently received first power supply from one of the nation’s largest plants to date, Sohar 3, operated by Shinas Generating Company.

The 1,710MW plant is located within Sohar Industrial Port and is expected to help meet massive demand growth from this key industrial zone. The site is hooked up via a 400kV electricity transmission line built by Oman Electricity and Transmission Company. Other major industrial zones are also expected to push up demand for energy, including the Duqm port complex, now under development. Oman is also looking to ramp up renewables generation, to free up domestic oil and gas for export and processing. One of the companies involved in the Sohar 3 plant, Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power, in May signed what will be Oman’s largest utility scale‐scale solar PV independent power project (IPP). The Ibri‐2 project, which will deliver 500MW of electricity from a site about 300km west of Muscat, is to be built on a build, own, www.technicalreview.me

To aid the sector, Microsoft has signed an agreement with Oman Technology Institute (OTI) to up skill the sultanate’s higher‐ education students and graduates in cloud computing, with a strong focus on AI. Microsoft will advise OTI on the best partner fit for building training programmes that the institute will offer on its Learning‐ as‐a‐Service platform. OTI will focus on creating competitive, well‐versed professionals who go on to bolster the nation’s digital transformation culture that is currently underpinning Economic Vision 2020 and Vision 2040.

used to help meet this need. Enabling the growth of low‐carbon, green electricity is an AI application with a potentially huge long‐ term impact. The widespread adoption of AI still faces lots of barriers, despite its proven benefits for the companies that have effectively implemented the technology. It’s important to remember that AI is still very much in its infancy – and one of the main challenges can be linked to the resistance of change, as well as a rooted scepticism about whether or not AI can actually deliver tangible results.

Utilities must incorporate AI in their approach to data management from the top down. Simply adding new technology to the pre‐existing technology will not work as you’ll not only be left with a bigger bill, but even bigger challenges in the future. Those companies which prioritise the implementation of an intelligent IT infrastructure that facilitates drawing and using insights from the data to evolve and adapt their technology over time – in line with technological advances and social requirements – will retain their competitive advantage in the long‐term. ■

Renewable Energy

Using solar energy for oil production Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Oman’s leading oil and gas company, has turned a challenge into an opportunity by pioneering the use of solar steam for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

The plant harnesses the sun’s rays through a huge glasshouse complex.

SING SOLAR ENERGY to produce oil might seem like an unlikely scenario. But it has proved a winning combination for PDO, which has pioneered the use of solar steam for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), resulting in a sustainable, environment‐friendly solution for developing its heavy oil as well as boosting the sultanate’s solar industry.

Oman possesses oil reserves which are difficult to extract, requiring the use of EOR techniques such as thermal EOR, where steam is injected into the oil reservoir to heat the oil, making it easier to pump to the surface.

With partners GlassPoint Solar, PDO is developing the giant Miraah solar plant at the Amal oilfield to produce steam for thermal EOR. The 1,021 GW plant, which is set to be one of the largest solar projects in the world in terms of peak energy

production when complete, harnesses the sun’s rays through a huge glasshouse complex to turn oilfield water into steam for the extraction of heavy and viscous oil, as a sustainable alternative to steam generated from natural gas.

When complete it will generate an average of 6,000 tons of solar steam daily, saving 5.6 trillion BTUs of natural gas a year in the face of the sultanate’s rising domestic gas demand, and reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by more than 300,000 tons a year.

The system will deliver steam to Amal’s existing thermal EOR operations, meeting a sizable portion of the field’s steam demand.

The full‐scale project will comprise 36 glasshouse modules, built and commissioned in succession in groups of four. The system uses GlassPoint’s trough technology, designed specifically for oilfield

deployment, which uses curved mirrors to focus sunlight on to a pipe filled with water.

The concentrated sunlight boils the water to create steam, which is fed directly to the oilfield’s existing steam distribution network. A greenhouse protects the solar array from harsh oilfield conditions such as wind and dust storms.

Construction of the project began in October 2015, with first steam produced in October 2017. Today, the Miraah facility is in daily operation, with the capacity to generate 660 tonnes of steam per day.

Construction is ongoing, with steam production ramping up over time to meet PDO’s future steam demand.

Boosting Oman’s solar industry The scale of the landmark project underscores the massive market for www.technicalreview.me

deploying solar in the oil and gas industry, says PDO. Raoul Restucci, managing director of PDO, commented, “PDO’s successful partnership with GlassPoint has put Oman on the global solar energy map. While oil and gas will continue to be fundamental to our energy mix, we are developing innovative renewable solutions to create new growth opportunities for the company as well as for the nation."

The project also supports the company’s Gas Conservation Strategy, he noted.

Not only does Miraah provide an innovative, energy‐saving and environment‐ friendly solution to develop PDO’s heavy oil, it also has the potential to generate significant value for Oman, diversifying the economy by establishing a new solar industry. Plans to localise the supply chain are under development, including the establishment of a local manufacturing facility in Oman.

PDO is looking to open a technology centre in Muscat in partnership with GlassPoint Solar, to develop and test next generation solar technologies in oilfields, helping Oman to become a centre of excellence for using solar energy to power

The plant will be the world’s first utility-scale solar project to have an oil and gas company as the sole wholesale buyer of electricity.

oilfield operations. The centre will pilot and evaluate solar energy uses for other industrial processes in Oman and worldwide. It will create additional opportunities to expand the local supply chain, host training and educational workshops, and engage Omani engineers in applied research projects to develop local solar energy expertise.

Step change in renewable energy In a further development, which PDO billed a “step change in renewable energy in the sultanate”, the company in October 2018 awarded a contract to build a 100MW solar photovoltaic independent power producer (IPP) project to a joint Japanese‐Omani consortium comprising the Marubeni Corporation (Japan), Oman Gas Company, Bahwan Renewable Energy Company and Modern Channels Services. The plant will provide power for PDO’s interior operations and will be the first‐of‐its‐kind in Oman. It will also be the world’s first utility‐scale solar project to have an oil and gas company as the sole wholesale buyer of electricity.

The desert facility will be located at Amin, which lies in southern Oman in PDO’s concession area, and will consist of more than 335,000 solar PV panels, producing enough energy to power 15,000 homes.

It will be structured as an IPP under the terms of the power purchase agreement for a period of 23 years from the scheduled commercial operation date, which is planned for May 2020. The consortium will build, own and operate the facility and then transfer it back to PDO. The plant is expected to introduce an equivalent fuel saving of 70.5mn cu/m of gas annually, resulting in a total saving of US$17mn a year through the use of solar power as an alternative to natural gas. It will

23

also reduce overall carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by around 137,121 tons annually.

PDO managing director Raoul Restucci commented that the project is “another building block in support of Oman's outstanding potential in renewable energy.”

Speaking at the formal contract award ceremony, he said, “This contract marks a significant step in our transition to a fully fledged energy company with a greater emphasis on renewables.

“The proposed tariff is one of the lowest in the history of solar IPPs worldwide so far, and underlines the significant opportunity for Oman to produce low‐cost energy using solar.”

It is not just PDO which is making waves in solar energy for oil production. Building on the success with Miraah, in November 2018 Occidental of Oman, a subsidiary of Houston‐based Occidental Petroleum and the country’s largest independent oil producer, signed an agreement with GlassPoint Solar which could lead to the construction of a large solar thermal energy plant exceeding two gigawatts – twice the capacity of Miraah. It will be located at the Mukhaizna oilfield in Oman, where Occidental of Oman has implemented one of the world’s largest steam flood projects for EOR, and will produce up to 100,000 barrels of solar steam per day.

“As we continue to diversify Oman’s economy and develop the renewable energy sector, we are also identifying ways to save our natural gas resources,” Dr Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhi, Oman’s minister of oil and gas, remarked at the time. He added that Oman’s vast heavy oilfields present a great opportunity to deploy solar energy and conserve gas, which can instead be used to fuel industries and generate power, bringing economic and environmental benefits to the sultanate. ■

Lighting

After a smooth transition from GE, Tungsram now has 22 subsidiaries in 23 countries and manages to keep customers in 110 global markets.

N APRIL 2018, GE Lighting sold its business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Turkey, as well as its Global Automotive business, to Tungsram Group controlled by Joerg Bauer, the former president of GE Hungary via a management buyout.

On the world market, Tungsram is represented as a premium European lighting brand with design, development and manufacturing in Hungary with a strategy to expand its outreach.

“Tungsram as a brand has a long history in the region and was quite popular in many key countries in the Middle East,” says Manoj Jayachandran, managing director (Middle East, Africa, Turkey, CIS and ASEAN).

While in many markets Tungsram lamps were sold along with GE in the past, it was always considered an equally good option among the top brands in lighting. Many of Tungsram’s loyal traders had patronised this brand for decades.

After the GE buyout, and going by the industry trend whereby many top brands were rebranding themselves, the newly formed group saw this as an opportunity to go back to its European roots as Tungsram.

Most of their channel partners have been very excited with this change since their customers could immediately associate them both with the past and GE quality.

“We are investing in all our active locations and develop

distinct technological capabilities for the factories, all while strengthening customer‐facing distribution partners,” president and CEO Joerg Bauer adds.

“Instead of being a part of a very large organisation like GE, Tungsram with a strong lighting core has been refocused to support our customers and partners, following the principle of ‘what more can we do for your success’ with the flexibility and the agility of a startup company.”

The focus in the region has been ESCO projects, outdoor lighting in the Middle East and Africa (MENA) and consumer channel in Turkey.

The company has 110 distribution partners in 34 countries of the region. Tungsram has been more than accepted by many government bodies, especially in Saudi Arabia for the outdoor tenders.

The company puts emphasis on meeting with all the key customers both at their venues and also organised factory visits to key partners in Hungary to reinstate the confidence and convert the nostalgia of the brand to a promising future. Showcasing the state‐ of‐the‐art‐factory in Hungary producing the street lighting solution was convincing for the partners.

The debut of the re‐launched Tungsram brand in the GCC region was at this year’s Middle East Electricity event in Dubai. The company was the main Lighting Sponsor and the booth showcased products and the brand transition story from GE to Tungsram.

“Our experts’ presentations in the conference sections explained to project owners and industry players how street lighting with smart‐ready lamps and the right partners can be the infrastructure that a smart city can be easily built on.

“We are working closely now with one of the major municipalities on our smart city solution in the UAE to create a smart experience of convenience, safety and ease of living for the residents,” Manoj Jayachandran adds.

Another important development this year is happening right now in Turkey. The consumer channel stores in Turkey have accepted Tungsram as a major brand, and the company will be rolling out in more than 600 stores in 2019. ■ www.technicalreview.me

India’s Blue Star opens new office in Dubai to cater to Middle East markets AIR CONDITIONING AND commercial refrigeration manufacturer Blue Star Limited’s wholly‐owned subsidiary in Dubai, Blue Star International FZCO, inaugurated its new office and its first state‐of‐ the‐art flagship showroom in Dubai in April 2019.

Blue Star International FZCO, headquartered in Dubai, manages the international business operations of Blue Star Limited. Blue Star Systems and Solutions LLC is a subsidiary of Blue Star International FZCO, and it handles all the operations of the company for the UAE, including its products, system integration and service businesses. Present in the market for more than 60 years, the company exports air conditioning equipment, water coolers, commercial refrigeration products and systems.

According to Blue Star, the Middle East is a promising market.

With a growing hospitality sector, rise in construction activities across residential and commercial sectors, coupled with extreme weather conditions, it is imperative for Blue Star to expand operations and enhance local presence in this region.

With the new set‐up at Airport Road, the company has established a one‐stop‐solution for its entire range of cooling products including spilt ACs, cassette ACs, window ACs, floor standing units, deep freezers, water coolers, bottle water dispensers, air coolers, air purifiers, water tank chillers, ducted split units, VRF system products, AHUs, FCUs, refrigeration units, and cold room panels.

Speaking on the expansion, Vir S Advani, vice‐chairman and managing director, Blue Star Limited, said, “With this investment in the UAE, we are looking forward to make deeper inroads and significantly contribute to the growth of the Middle East economy.”

New surface treatment could improve refrigeration efficiency A NEW SURFACE TREATMENT developed by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could improve refrigeration efficiency.

Liquid refrigerants have very low surface tension compared to water, meaning that it is very hard to get them to form droplets on a surface. Instead, they tend to spread out in a sheet, a property known as wetting. These sheets of liquid provide an insulating layer that inhibits heat transfer.

Heat transfer is enhanced when the liquid quickly forms droplets, which then coalesce and grow and fall away under the force of gravity. Getting low‐surface‐tension liquids to form droplets and shed them easily has been a serious challenge.

The new findings are described in the journal Joule, in a paper

by MIT graduate student Karim Khalil, professor of mechanical engineering Kripa Varanasi, professor of chemical engineering and associate provost Karen Gleason, and others.

By promoting droplet formation, Varanasi says it’s possible to achieve a four‐ to eight‐fold improvement in heat transfer. Because the condensation is just one part of a complex cycle, that translates into an overall efficiency improvement of about two per cent. In large industrial processes that is considered a considerable improvement.

The surface treatment adds a very thin solid coating of less than a micron thick. The coating, made of a specially formulated polymer, is deposited on the surface using a process called initiated chemical vapour deposition (iCVD), in which the coating material is vaporised and grafts onto the surface to be treated, such as a metal pipe, to form a thin coating.

Saving on stability with STATCOM Watchwords for the modern utility player are flexibility, reliability and quality.

Recent breakthroughs have allowed power electronics systems like STATCOM to become smaller, more efficient and more flexible. That means a fast response to fluctuating requirements and an opportunity to increase power grid reliability – all while reducing costs.

HE INEXORABLE RISE of renewable energy generation has transformed the power industry. There are certainly environmental benefits associated with this transition, but it has presented challenges too. Now the transmission and distribution networks are required to manage much more complex and variable flows as much of our power needs are instead generated from renewable sources like wind and solar. These sources are not only variable in output, they are typically widely dispersed across the network, on the roofs of domestic and commercial buildings say, or located offshore in the North Sea, far from the loads of urban centres.

As a result of this on‐going and accelerating change, power networks are being tasked with functioning in a way they were never designed and built to manage.

Furthermore, a large proportion of renewable energy production is essentially opaque and beyond the control of the grid operators. This is having a serious impact on the stability of voltage and frequency across the transmission and distribution system, as well as challenging overall system resiliency.

With their massive spinning turbines and generators, thermal plants typically provided a measure of stability to the grid, able to absorb the jolts and shocks as large loads or power stations might trip in or out. Today, as such equipment is phased out in favour of renewables, the grid is suffering from a widespread lack of inertia. Consequently, there is the potential for voltage excursions during steady state operations, such as in solar heavy areas during the course of a day, but also during transient operations, during cloud cover.

T

The need for a new approach The traditional approach to this kind of challenge has been to build infrastructure – new cables and lines and new substations – to more effectively manage, control and stabilise the grid.

Due to the accelerating change in the energy industry, power networks are being tasked with functioning in a way they were never designed and built to manage.

However, not only is the grid now being tasked with performing in a more dynamic way to manage power flows, but generation sources are also being developed and commissioned far more quickly. Whereas a conventional thermal plant may take decades to plan, get approvals, develop, build and commission, a large solar plant can be up and running in a matter of months. So quickly that grid infrastructure cannot keep pace. In addition, asset managers are struggling to keep technical pace using conventional grid reinforcement approaches, particularly where introducing a new generation site or another piece of

Technical Review Middle East - Annual Power Review 2019

equipment may have stability impacts elsewhere on the distribution system.

Furthermore, within the current framework it is getting far harder to justify the high cost of traditional network investment given the shifting sands of grid requirements.

As a result, maintaining stable voltage and frequency characteristics for the bulk power system is becoming more challenging and costly for transmission and distribution system operators like utilities.

Meeting increasing demands for reactive power right up to the highest voltage levels of the network is emerging as a primary goal in the new order. It is easy to see why. By improving reactive power compensation capabilities, investment in high‐cost grid reinforcement may be avoided whilst grid stability is improved.

Power electronics advances The growing need for more flexible grid stability services has coincided with exciting developments in solid‐state power electronics. With the emergence of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), operators can improve compensation capabilities and network stability yet avoid the traditionally high levels of grid investment.

Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) technology is rapidly establishing itself as the state‐of‐the‐art dynamic shunt compensator for reactive power control in transmission and distribution systems.

Siemens’ STATCOM solution to improve dynamic stability and power quality is the advanced static var compensation (SVC) technology known as SVC PLUS. It is based on modular multilevel converter (MMC) architecture that allows for low switching www.technicalreview.me

Power Generation

frequencies. An MMC‐based design also reduces system losses and provides a high degree of flexibility in converter design and station layout. In addition, there is no need for supplementary harmonic filtering as a result of MMC harmonic performance.

By using robust and proven components such as typical AC power transformers, reactors, capacitors and industrial insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), Siemens SVC PLUS is also resilient and reliable. Another benefit of STATCOM is its flexibility. Able to control the voltage and current independently of the given grid conditions, SVC PLUS is adaptable to changing conditions such as the short circuit power level and harmonics that may evolve.

Going mobile Utilities looking to maximise the benefits delivered by low cost and effective reactive and inductive power system control can also take advantage of another breakthrough coming from power electronics – miniaturisation.

SVC PLUS technology is extremely compact, some 50 per cent smaller than conventional

www.technicalreview.me

SVC architecture. This has allowed the system to be containerised and mobile, making it the transmission grid multi‐tool when it comes to stability. Like its fixed location SVC PLUS cousins, Siemen’s mobile STATCOM is able to respond to network faults in just a few milliseconds providing short term support to the network and preventing troublesome voltage excursions.

The mobile SVC PLUS helps Dominion manage the growing volume and number of renewable and distributed energy generation locations on its power grid and navigate an ever changing energy landscape.

Saving on stability functions For all its flexibility, capability and even mobility, SVC PLUS is just one of a suite of Siemens’ technologies that support grid stability. Later generations of both HVDC and MVDC technologies from Siemens are equipped with IGBT‐based VSC electronics giving the capabilities of STATCOM in terms of voltage support and control. Siemens launched its SVC PLUS FS, which includes frequency stabilisation too. Combining SVC

technology with energy storage supercapacitors the device can compensate for voltage and frequency fluctuations in milliseconds. It can feed in the reactive power required and up to 200MW of stored power can be transferred to the grid at full load to modify grid frequency. This is important in preventing cascading failures in power grids that are exposed to volatile feeds from distributed renewables.

With multiple grid management advantages and relatively low cost, power electronics and FACTS technology are a transmission trend that continues to grow as network operators search out solutions to today’s power grid challenges.

Responding to fluctuations in milliseconds, Siemens’ SVC PLUS STATCOM provides a full mega VAR range in the least disturbing way to the grid and generates significantly lower harmonics, providing both flexibility and longevity. Power electronics are giving utilities an opportunity to increase reliability and power quality by saving on stability. ■ – By Stephen Ballard

Regular visual inspection during maintenance sessions can prevent related problems.

UPS of the right plan An effective UPS service contract should comprise annual scheduled preventative maintenance visits for both the UPS power system and its batteries, as well as facilities for emergency call-outs on demand.

NY ORGANISATION THAT invests in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system demands clean and uninterrupted power with 24X7 availability for its mission‐critical ICT resource. This demand is driven by data centre downtime costs that can easily reach thousands of dollars per minute.

However, while always a threat, downtime needn’t be inevitable. Almost half of the respondents to the Uptime Institute’s 2018 Global Data Center Survey suffered an outage within the past three years. Almost 80 per cent of those said that these incidents, which arose from causes including on‐premise power failures, were preventable with UPS service plans.

For UPS, such prevention comes from investing in an appropriate UPS service plan as carefully as in the product itself. Given this investment, a UPS power system can operate safely and reliably for more than 15 years. To understand how UPS maintenance contributes to uninterruptible power supply reliability and availability, let’s take a look at the most common causes of failure, and how professional UPS service plans will address and prevent these.

A

UPS failure modes Bad UPS batteries are responsible for typically 20 per cent of UPS failures.

Premature failures can be disastrously unexpected if users have been relying on manufacturer estimates of battery life.

These are often based on a steady 20°C

operating temperature and zero working cycles. However, the real‐world operation involves both cycling and running at elevated temperatures. UPS battery life is typically reduced by 50 per cent for every 10°C rise in operating temperature, a factor that cannot be ignored in the Middle East.

While the finite uninterruptible power supply battery life is inevitable, the right UPS maintenance procedures can prevent it from causing a failure.

UPS also contain both electrolytic capacitors and fans, which, like batteries, age unpredictably and eventually fail, depending on their quality and how they are electrically, mechanically and thermally stressed.

Problems can be prevented by regular visual inspection during preventive maintenance sessions, and scheduled battery replacement before they can fail.

Other UPS failure reasons include lightning damage, poor environment, incorrect operations and user error.

Firmware upgrades incorporating the latest operational enhancements can help to optimise performance.

Effective service plans An effective UPS service plan should comprise annual scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) visits for both the UPS power system and its batteries, as well as facilities for emergency call‐outs on demand.

Trained UPS engineers and technicians should be available 24/7, and based close enough to ensure arrival on site within

Technical Review Middle East - Annual Power Review 2019

contractually‐agreed response times. These personnel should be backed with immediate access to a comprehensive local spare parts inventory, and more in‐depth technical support if required.

UPS battery health must be regularly monitored, both visually and through remote UPS monitoring services like Kohler Uninterruptible Power’s (KUP) PowerNSURE system, which regularly checks each uninterruptible power supply battery’s internal resistance, temperature and voltage, as well as performing voltage equalisation. UPS battery life is extended, performance is optimised, and problems highlighted before they fail.

UPS generate regular, graphical‐format reports, which can easily be understood by remote recipients. UPS batteries are considered ‘end of life’ when they reach 80 per cent of capacity.

Overall, the UPS service contract should be profiled to each UPS installation’s particular circumstances; the type and size of the load, and how business‐critical it is. Is 24/7 coverage needed for 365 days a year?

How many preventative maintenance visits a year should be scheduled, and what guaranteed response window, in hours, is required? Also, should parts and labour be included, or treated as chargeable extras?

In practice, consumables such as UPS battery and capacitor parts and labour are typically excluded.■ – Source: KOHLER Power www.technicalreview.me

Is your power supply truly reliable?

Jürgen Pump, sales manager at Standard Aggregatebau Evers GmbH & Co. KG, one of Germany’s leading genset manufacturers, talks about reliability and how to improve it.

Technical Review Middle East (TRME): The worldwide genset sales market is expected to grow steadily over the next years. Is this the impact of increasing power outages?

Jürgen Pump (JP): The increasing demand for power generators has different reasons.

Besides the steadily rising power demand in developing countries, which utilities cannot keep up with and expanding decentralised energy structures to integrate renewable green energy production the market is set to grow due to the rising demand for reliable power from all end‐users, as some of the best power grids are also subject to downtime. While energy storage systems provide backup power only for a very limited time, diesel‐driven generator sets are the best choice to counter even extended power outages.

Power outages are happening more frequently than ever. They are also becoming more expensive for customers and utilities.

TRME: As you have mentioned green energy, wouldn’t gensets driven by gas be much more environmentally friendlier than diesel ones?

JP: Natural gas and biogas engines are indeed more ecological than diesel engines, but the biggest advantage of a diesel engine is its autonomy. Natural gas supply is normally based on a distribution network, which may get interrupted by a power outage as well. So, a gas‐driven CHP unit is no reliable backup power source due to the lack of fuel storage capabilities while diesel can be easily stored in tanks and guarantee autonomy for even days. Further, technical development has made modern diesel engines much cleaner and exhaust gas treatment systems are also available and increasingly requested with us.

TRME: Could you explain the reasons for the increasing utility power outages and the related costs?

JP: This topic is quite complex and has been surveyed by numerous available studies, but www.technicalreview.me

it can be summarised to the principal causes such as extreme weather, aged infrastructure and increased technical complexity whereas the latter is also responsible for the increased costs of a

power outage. The modern world is so dependent on electrical power that even the slightest disruption has a massive impact on industrial production as well as infrastructure reliability and stability.

TRME: So, diesel‐driven gensets are still the measure for a reliable backup power?

JP: Yes, however, no mechanical system can be expected to perform with 100 per cent reliability over time, but modern diesel standby power systems come with an annual availability above 98 per cent very close to this ideal – provided they are properly designed and maintained. In fact, the vast majority of problems result from human error or neglect, both during system engineering and operation, while power system component failure is a fairly rare event.

TRME: 98 per cent availability does not sound very impressive and reliable…

JP: This figure applies for a standard code compliance generator set commercially available from many manufacturers and dealers. The availability is not only determined by failures but also planned downtimes for maintenance. For mission critical installations SAB as specialist firm can increase the availability up to 99.999 per cent by implementing redundancies into the system design. This starts with quite cheap but effective measures for most vulnerable components, like adding a redundant starting facility, and goes up to completely redundant power lines, which are fault tolerant as they have no single points of failure. As each project is different in its requirements, off‐ the‐shelf solutions do usually not achieve the desired results. A close coordination between all parties and suppliers during design, installation and commissioning is vital for maximising reliability and this challenging task should be left to experienced professionals like ourselves. ■

Test & Measurement

In the depth of SAS StationScout from OMICRON makes substation automation systems (SAS) transparent.

HAT IS THE focus of commissioning secondary technology?

Traditionally, it is testing the protection devices and the way that the entire system functions. SAS are starting to be used in modern installations. When it comes to individual protection devices, they not only monitor important components and feeders in energy transmission, but they also communicate with one another. This communication is vital when it comes to the SAS functioning smoothly and predictably.

If you compare the effort that it takes to test the functionality of the protection system with what it takes to test the automation and control system, there is a significant difference, with the SAS losing by a long shot. This is due in large part to the increasing complexity of the structure and the signals being transmitted. The system requires these signals in order to function properly and communicate with the control centre. However, the IEC 61850 engineering process and the data available in the substation configuration description (SCD) files, open the door to new testing methods that make commissioning and factory acceptance tests faster and much more efficient.

This data forms the basis of a completely new approach that is embodied by StationScout. Like a scout, it goes into the depths of the SAS and explores all of the components and connections. By analysing the SCD file, the system independently identifies potential signals for testing. It also detects communication connections and IEC 61850 services that have been implemented. The results can then be used by the tester to create plans for both factory acceptance and commissioning tests.

W

Cyber‐secure connection StationScout comprises two components: the high‐performance MBX1 hardware and the software that runs on it with all of the necessary tools. MBX is controlled via a Windows PC. The additional firewall integrated into the system separates the testing solution (MBX1 and laptop) from the substation network, thus ensuring cyber security. Because the SAS operation is often organised into several networks at once, MBX1 comes with four Ethernet interfaces for connection and analysis.

protection testers must follow the signal on its route through the SAS, which has previously been difficult and very time‐ consuming, even with copper cable networks. In systems with IEC 61850, manual signal tracing is no longer possible.

Therefore, StationScout visualises all of the connections, shows how the signals propagate through the SAS and shows where they go and where they don’t. In addition, special filters reduce the overall complexity by allowing the display to focus on the relevant elements and then displaying them in the intuitive Smart Overview.

Comprehensive presentation One of the main problems that surrounds testing components and communication in SAS are the complicated terms described in the IEC 61850 standard. StationScout detects the names and purposes of the respective elements in the data model. It then visualises them with clear names and the corresponding connections in a graphic interface. This visualisation is performed with all of the available data in the SCD file.

This includes all of the important data from the substation, such as the voltage level and the switchboard section. For this purpose, there is also an option for modeling in single‐ line diagrams, according to the standard.

Because the majority of the current SCD files do not contain the information necessary for this, Omicron has introduced the new ZeroLine presentation. This reproduces the respective status in real‐time. Navigation in a large SAS can be carried out in the same way that it is done in a cartographic system.

Intuitive signal tracing Within an SAS, GOOSE messages are transmitted by multicast from their source to all of the recipients. If an error occurs during this communication exchange, the

Technical Review Middle East - Annual Power Review 2019

Anything missing will be simulated One of the key features of StationScout is its ability to simulate individual components through the entire SAS, which can take place at any time during project planning. This can begin as early as the design, specification and engineering phase, and the test plans created at this point are available for the entire life cycle of the SAS. Real‐time values can even be worked on and tested during the factory acceptance test (FAT), which can then be verified again during commissioning. Using this feature speeds up the process considerably.

What does the future hold?

With these functionalities, StationScout already offers huge advantages for increasing the effectiveness of SAS testing in accordance with IEC 61850. In the future, there will also be features available for protection testers which will allow them to run logic tests and perform simple tests in connection with firmware upgrades. These tools can also be added to the test plans, which will also contribute to the automation and acceleration of the testing procedures, thus heightening security. ■ www.technicalreview.me

Mourad Hedna, president of UD Trucks MEENA, said, “The truck industry in the region is changing rapidly and customers are increasingly conscious of the total cost of ownership. With the new Quester we have the ideal product to address these needs.”

Increased fuel efficiency The new Quester aims to boost productivity and profitability for business owners and logistics companies, for whom a rise in fuel costs consequently increases operating costs. It delivers enhanced fuel efficiency of up to 10 per cent over the current Quester.

This is aided by the ESCOT automated manual transmission, lighter tare weight and optimised driveline, and is also affected by the operating conditions, driving behaviour and vehicle maintenance.

ESCOT includes software that optimises gear shifting according to the engine revs, vehicle speed, loading weight and even road gradient. The smart system also includes a sensor that will select the optimum gear automatically instead of assuming a first gear selection.

New Quester’s enhanced fuel performance also aligns with the increasing global focus on curbing fuel consumption and meeting environmentally‐friendly regulations in relation to emissions quality standards, all of which effectively reduces the new model’s overall carbon footprint.

More seamless and comfortable A game changer in the transportation business, New Quester with ESCOT automatically selects the optimal gear at the right time based on the operating condition.

This takes away the need for manual gear shifting which, depending on the transportation operations, happens 1,000 to 1,500 times a day. ESCOT’s automated gear selection also enables drivers to easily adapt to operating New Quester and better focus on driving with ease.

In addition to making driving simple, New Quester also aims to help businesses expand the pool of driving talent with an easy‐to‐operate gear lever that uses a straight shifting pattern. In certain target markets, for example, the number of female Quester drivers is increasing due to its drivability. New Quester opens the doors for companies to attract even more prospects to pursue truck driving as a career and diversify the pool of talent for this role.

Boosting profitability and business growth by doing more with less to overcome productivity constraints and complicated fleet management processes

Efficient fleet management In line with elevating business success through Smart Logistics, New Quester supports effective fleet management and driver performance with innovative customer telematics such as real‐time vehicle tracking and geofencing for better fleet visibility and optimisation. Such smart connectivity features support the increasing trend of new logistics delivery solutions that are offered by technology and local start‐up companies in, for example, the Middle East.

New Quester trucks are equipped with UD Telematics, which make it possible to connect directly to UD Trucks workshops to monitor and detect each vehicle’s condition and service needs before a potential emergency occurs. Preventive maintenance analysis guides customers via monthly driving behaviour and fuel consumption

reports, ensuring higher uptime and optimised fuel economy over time.

Owners of New Quester also enjoy increased uptime, with the clutch life span being 2.5 to three times longer when equipped with an ESCOT automated manual transmission as compared to a manual clutch, depending on operating conditions, driving behaviour and vehicle maintenance.

Built to deliver UD Trucks’ ethos of ‘Ultimate Dependability’, the New Quester increases uptime through UD Extra Mile Support, which has proved popular with customers across the MEENA region, according to Hedna.

Offering an extensive network of well‐ trained service technicians, it provides quality aftersales service with genuine parts, service planning and vehicle handover training that optimises fleet performance.

Hedna added, “This region is very strategic for UD Trucks and we are reinforcing our team and creating a customer‐centric organisation to serve the best interests of our customers and partners. Given our modern full product range, our strong partners in the region, and our commitment and dedication to serve our customers, added to our long Japanese heritage, we have all the tools to succeed and we can only see a bright future for UD Trucks and its customers in the region.” ■

SSAB lightens and strengthens Mantella ANTELLA REVOLUTIONISED THE design of its innovative Stratosphere tipper trailer by implementing major design advances in the use of high‐strength steel. The company used the latest high‐tech materials developed and produced by the Nordic steel manufacturer SSAB: Hardox 500 Tuf and Strenx 960. The new design won the international Swedish Steel Prize 2018.

M

Lesser weight, more sustainability Mantella has set ambitious goals to design stronger and lighter semitrailers that will carry larger payloads while saving fuel and reducing CO2 emissions at the same time.

Reducing emissions is important since road transport accounts for 17.5 per cent of overall gas emissions in Europe. By 2050, these emissions will need to be at least 60 per cent lower than in 1990 and be firmly on the road towards zero. “By lowering fuel consumption and CO2 emissions per tonne km we are contributing to a more sustainable world. The Stratosphere trailers make use of all the benefits obtainable from SSAB’s high‐strength steel grades Hardox 500 Tuf and Strenx 960,” said Gregorio Mantella, plant director at Mantella S.r.l.

Lighter body Stratosphere trailers from Mantella have tipper bodies made of Hardox 500 Tuf wear plate. This new Hardox grade delivers longer wear life while having the same toughness as the previously used Hardox 450 grade.

Thanks to the higher wear resistance of Hardox 500 Tuf, Mantella could reduce plate thickness by one mm. This saves on average 365kg of body weight. Hardox 500 Tuf combines the best properties from the Hardox 450 and Hardox 500 wear steel

The combined weight reduction of using abrasion-resistant Hardox 500 Tuf in the body and Strenx 960 in the chassis is 510kg compared to the previous design, which translates to an equal amount of increased payload every trip.

The Stratosphere trailers make use of all the benefits obtainable from SSAB’s high‐strength steel grades Hardox 500 Tuf and Strenx 960.

grades. The relative wear life for Hardox 500 Tuf can be 30‐50 per cent longer compared with Hardox 450. The toughness provides resistance against dents and cracks.

Body designed for stiffness When using a thinner material, the trailer tipper body has to be designed in a way that ensures the stiffness and overall stability of the body. When raising a fully loaded body with a front mounted hydraulic cylinder, the body experiences high stresses. If it’s not designed correctly it could result in a sudden buckling of the sides. To counteract this, Mantella incorporated a number of design changes such as adding horizontal bends to the side panels.

WeldCalc helps welders optimise the process of welding Strenx or Hardox steel, smartly and safely.

Mantella not only offers its customers a chassis that is 145kg lighter. It also has superior mechanical properties and improved road handling.

More support Redesigning with Strenx 960 Tipper trailers typically operate off‐road under extremely demanding conditions.

They are subjected to a variety of severe load cases that are difficult to predict.

Fatigue usually sets the design limits.

Mantella has invested a great deal of development work in weld technology and the placement of welds to optimise fatigue strength. By eliminating the welded I‐beams and by leaving the flanges untouched by welds, fatigue strength of the chassis is greatly increased.

Light as aluminum, strong as steel The new trailer chassis in the Stratosphere series weighs in on par with aluminium, and has all the durability, fatigue strength and production advantages of steel. The Z‐ beams take about 50 per cent less time to produce compared to welded I‐beams. In addition, lateral stiffness is increased by 10 per cent and torsional stiffness by 12 per cent. By upgrading to Strenx 960 steel,

At BAUMA Munich this year, SSAB presented a variety of free apps that can help customers become more productive.

The apps are available on the App Store and Google Play. They help customers do the math and add up the savings when using SSAB’s high‐strength steels Hardox wear plate and Strenx performance steel.

Popular apps include WearCalc and WeldCalc. WearCalc helps users compare different Hardox grades for their particular application and calculate the increase in service life and payload when upgrading from mild steel to high‐strength steel. The app can also be used to predict erosion wear, sliding wear and impact wear.

WeldCalc helps welders optimise the process of welding Strenx or Hardox steel, smartly and safely. The user simply inputs the parameters, and in seconds can see the recommended machine settings, temperature, heat input and a risk analysis.

Other apps include SSAB EcoUpgraded, SmartSteel and the all‐in‐one SSAB app. ■ www.technicalreview.me

WITH MORE THAN 100,000 units delivered since its introduction in 2003, Volvo Penta has given its next generation D4 and D6 propulsion packages a comprehensive overhaul. They are available in three different variants: Volvo Penta IPS, Inboard and Aquamatic sterndrive. The benefits touch on almost every aspect including performance, reliability, durability, running costs and maintenance.

LIEBHERR-MCCTEC ROSTOCK GMBH has signed a contract to deliver an RL 2650, the second biggest crane of the ram luffing series, to UAE‐based Navtech Marine Services based.

The crane will provide a lifting capacity of 75 tonnes, which is exceptional for this system size, according to the company.

Navtech Marine Services ordered an RL 2650 to equip a new build jack‐up barge. The offshore crane will be used for service tasks in the Gulf.

Navtech Marine Services there takes over service tasks for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). The new crane will be responsible for lifting heavy parts on existing oil platforms in the Gulf region and execute maintenance tasks.

“After discussing the project specific needs, the RL 2650 seemed to be the most suitable product to meet the requirements since it is the only crane that provides the lifting capacity of 75 tonnes without complying with the weight requirements,” said Daniel Poll, sales director Liebherr Ship and Offshore Cranes.

The cylinder luffing crane is characterised by a box boom and a compact structure. Its pedestal has a diameter of less than three metres.

To guarantee the required lifting capacity of 75 tonnes the crane will be equipped with a reinforced slewing bearing and slewing column.

This special solution provides the optimum structure to lift heavy parts with a weight of up to 75 tonnes and also combines compactness and high lifting capacities.

Furthermore it keeps the crane’s weight low.

Volvo Penta’s new propulsion packages

These engines will also cost less to maintain, with longer service intervals and fewer service items. All this adds up to annual savings in fuel, parts and servicing.

Significant helm‐to‐prop improvements The enhancements include reengineering of the engines, delivering more power and torque. They are perfectly matched with an upgraded IPS pod and the new DPI Aquamatic sterndrive, which bring increased comfort and maneuverability, as well as more straightforward servicing and maintenance.

Engine overhaul The D4/D6 is the company’s most technically advanced package. Designed exclusively for marine applications, the 3.7L D4 and 5.5L D6 deliver Volvo Penta’s unique marine torque, ensuring maximum power is transferred to the propellers and into the water, across the whole speed range. The changes are more than a facelift, with the majority of components reengineered.

The D4 and D6 deliver performance outputs of between 150 to 480 hp. In top specification, the D4 now has a maximum output of 320 hp, while the D6 in top spec boasts 480 hp. Not only 10 per cent more power across the range, these engines are more fuel efficient – between 0.5 per cent to seven per cent in E5 cycle.

Dramatic dynamic drivelines While the IPS driveline has had improvements in durability and reliability, it is the DPI drive that comes in for the biggest changes. The new hydraulic clutch ensures a silent and smooth shifting, as well as slipping at low engine speeds, resulting in added manoeuvrability and higher comfort at low boat speeds. The DPI driveline now also comes with dynamic positioning system, which automatically maintains a boat’s heading and position, even during strong currents or windy conditions – ideal when preparing for docking.

The Inboard version is also available for shaft and water‐jet transmissions.

Electronic vessel control One important aspect of this wide‐ranging series of improvements to the D4/D6 marine systems is a new generation of Volvo Penta’s electronic vessel control – EVC2. With an all‐new operating system, the EVC2 is now more independent of the engine than before and will act as the primary enabler for the future of boat building, including remote diagnostics and connectivity.

Moving to lower carbon mobility Hydrogen sourced from ‘green’ electricity can increase the share of renewables in the transportation sector and reduce particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions. There is a catch, though – green gas production is still too expensive.

HE CENTRE FOR Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden‐ Württemberg (ZSW) and its partners recently tested an option on a research platform that could help cut costs.

In early 2019, this consortium deployed a research electrolyser for a trial at a commercial power‐to‐gas plant in the southern German town of Grenzach‐ Wyhlen. It performed well. With the benefit of new electrode coatings, scientists managed to increase power density, outperforming the plant’s industrial equipment by 20 per cent. What is more, the research electrolyser consists of just a few parts and is better suited for mass manufacturing. This advance could drive down the cost of electrolysers. The researchers are now investigating the improved electrode coating’s durability.

Gradually replacing fossil fuels with renewables in electrical power stations is a start, but the same will have to happen in transportation and buildings. Hydrogen is the perfect enabler for this transition. This gaseous energy carrier can buffer surplus green electricity for other sectors to use.

T

Same footprint, but more powerful Electrolysis plants use electricity to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen. As it stands, the process is too expensive for green hydrogen gas to be competitively priced. Seeking to drive down these costs, ZSW researchers and their partners in science and industry recently set up a research platform at an industrial one‐ megawatt plant on the Upper Rhine River.

The larger goal is climate‐friendly mobility.

“We have been testing an optimised alkaline pressure electrolysis plant with up to 300kW output under real‐world conditions since January. It features newly developed, cheaper electrodes and a simpler design,” says Dr Michael Specht, head of the ZSW Renewable Energy Sources and Processes department. This project’s stakeholders are

also seeking to analyse compressors, rectifiers and pressure reservoirs with an eye to their cost and efficiency potential. They hope to turn promising ideas into products.”

Initial trials with this research electrolyser went well. The project partners ZSW and the German Aerospace Center achieved a 20 per cent increase in power density using new electrode coatings. This means the plant is able to generate a fifth more hydrogen than an industrial plant of the same size and with the same energy consumption.

R&D is a major cost point for manufacturers of electrolysis plants, so lower costs could also drive the adoption of this technology.

Technical Review Middle East - Annual Power Review 2019

This project coordinated by ZSW also calls for scientists to monitor both plants, a brief that includes live data surveillance.

Monitoring commenced in January. By the end of this year, the researchers will have examined data generated in the course of some 4,000 operating hours. Industrial companies and research institutions are also taking part in this project focused on the future of mobility. The state of Baden‐ Württemberg is funding the project with US$5.72mn.

Talking about the potentials in the Middle East region, Simon Loeffler from ZSW Renewable Energy Sources and Processes department, says, “In the Middle East the opportunities for electrolysers are – better location conditions with regard to renewable energy yield, i.e., the annual operating time of the plants (more solar radiation, possibly better wind conditions) and; incidental electricity costs (no EEG levies, electricity tax, etc.), and thus potentially lower H2 production costs.

However, the risks are non‐existent or poor technical infrastructures, partly uncertain political framework conditions and thus increased risk in the financing of facilities that have to be operated for 20 years or more to refinance the investment.” ■ www.technicalreview.me

The sound of safety Photo Credit: Eaton

In fire-related incidents, it is mandatory to have the correct evacuation plans in place. Ashraf Yehia, managing director – Eaton Middle East, explains how the risk to lives can be minimised.

PAVA systems are vital to giving clear messages that guide individuals to safety, which is why they are an essential part in evacuation planning today.

S PART OF the movement towards greater responsiveness when an emergency occurs, voice communications are a valuable component.

Known in the industry as public address/voice alarm (PAVA) systems, they give building managers and safety or security officers the option of issuing tailored instructions to occupants. This whitepaper explores the changes taking place in evacuation and the role of PAVA systems in helping to minimise risk.

Eaton has launched a new public address and voice alarm system. The EFDAU2000 is a powerful, all‐in‐one, wall mounted voice alarm solution that’s been certified to EN 54‐16, the standard for ‘Voice alarm control and indicating equipment’ and allows compliance with BS 5839‐8 the code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of voice alarm systems.

A

Why are PAVA systems important The evacuation of a building can be triggered by a growing array of potential threats, including fire, acts of terrorism or extreme weather, and the process of guiding people to safety is becoming increasingly complex with the growing number of busy, complicated or unfamiliar buildings. PAVA systems are vital to giving www.technicalreview.me

clear messages that guide individuals to safety, which is why they are an essential part in evacuation planning today.

The network ready, 32‐panel EFDAU2000 features include: • Capacity for up to 10 amplifier cards (EF‐ D150 & EF‐D500) • 12 audio inputs and internal storage for up to 64 recorded messages • Maximum power of 2,000W total load per panel • Integrated IP audio networking • Integrated battery charger and dedicated battery mounting shelf • Optional fireman’s microphone and desktop paging microphone EFDAU2000 provides an easy to install and configure voice alarm solution for a range of centralised and decentralised PAVA applications.

Another point to bear in mind is how a PAVA system might be applied alongside other fire safety and security technology, whether they are existing legacy systems or newer innovations. For example, PAVA is particularly effective when coupled with a CCTV system that helps a control room to identify potential areas of risk or congestion. The ability to direct people away from standard exit routes that have become dangerous, for example, is a powerful advantage of voice alarm systems.

Eaton has also launched an adaptive escape sign luminaire that enables real‐time adjustment of exit routes according to the nature and location of a hazard. Matrix CGLine+ can adjust the direction of the arrow it displays, with the aim of improving safety of emergency evacuations in commercial buildings including airports, shopping centers, railway stations, stadia, offices, schools, hospitals, universities and industrial sites.

The self‐contained Matrix CGLine+ escape sign luminaire displays a solid or animated arrow that can point in any one of four different directions. The change of the pictogram can be activated via an input at the luminaire or controlled by EATON’s Adaptive Evacuation system to respond in a certain way to predetermined triggers from fire alarms, smoke detectors, panic buttons or other inputs.

The Adaptive Evacuation system CGLine+ can receive trigger inputs for up to 30 inputs. An internal battery‐backup ensures the secure function of the controller in case of a failure with the controller’s power supply. Compliant with European emergency lighting standards, Matrix CGLine+ can also operate as a standard exit sign, creating an all‐in‐one safety solution.

The emergency operating time can be selected from one or three‐hour options. ■
