GOOD NEWS IN AUSTRALIA’S HEROIC STRUGGLE TOWARDS RAPID DECARBONISATION ISSUE #248 Publisher/Sales DIrector Neb Saric neb@wipmagazines.com Publishing & Events Director Richard Teasdale richard@wipmagazines.com Managing Editor Aidan Turnbull aidan@wipmagazines.com Accounts Manager Alison Williams accounts@wipmagazines.com Sales & Marketing Manager Sarah Hallows sarah@wipmagazines.com Far East Sales Bob Liu Shanghai, China bob.liu@ronco.com.cn US Sales & Subscriptions Jelena Milojevic power@wipmagazines.com Austrian & German Agent Mario Dobresko power@wipmagazines.com Power Media International Group, The Courtyard, 30 Worthing Road, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 1SL, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1403 888019 www.powermediagroup.co.uk © Worldwide Independent Power (ISSN 1468 7100)

Australia’s economy is decarbonising, and the science and economics of climate change mean that it is inevitable that this will continue. The country’s collective challenge now is to accelerate this, while reducing cost and disruption through coordination, innovation, and clear market settings.

With $76 billion of investment. pledged Australia’s abundant renewable energy resources mean the nation is well placed to become a clean energy superpower.

The Government’s comprehensive set of policies include: *$20 billion investment in Australia’s electricity grid to accelerate the decarbonisation of the grid. *An additional $300 million to deliver community batteries and solar banks across Australia. *Up to $3 billion investment of from the new National Reconstruction Fund to support renewables manufacturing and low emissions technologies. *Powering the Regions Fund to support the development of new clean energy industries and the decarbonisation priorities of existing “AUSTRALIA’S POWER industry.

A Deloitte Report suggests if GENERATION SECTOR HAS Australia acts with the world to limit warming and reach net-zero THE EMISSIONS ISSUE by 2050 then the economy could actually gain $680 billion by 2070.

UNDER CONTROL .”

Media reports suggest that Australia’s carbon emissions edged lower in 2022 with reductions from the electricity sector, partly countered by increases in pollution from transport and agriculture.

The country’s emissions last year totalled around 463.9m tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (Mt CO2-e), down 0.4% or 2m tonnes from the previous year. Preliminary estimates for the year to 31st March 2023 indicated emissions totalled 464Mt CO2-e, or 0.2% lower on a rolling 12-month tally, the national greenhouse gas inventory shows.

Between June 2005 and the end of 2022, carbon pollution dropped 24.7%, or slightly more than half the Albanese government’s 43% emissions reduction target by 2030.

Australia’s total budget under the Paris climate agreement is 4.353bn tonnes of CO2-e, and so far it has burned through 27% of the total in 25% of the accord’s time period.

The reduction in emissions in the power sector is apparent , with a limited number of polluting sites closely monitored by regulators. Emissions from the power sector industry have fallen 21.4% or 42.1Mt CO2-e since June 2005, although the sector continues to account for about a third of recorded pollution.

Falling emissions from stationary energy, such as that used in manufacturing and gas heating in homes, all retreated in 2022, easing back 1.5% or 1.6Mt CO2-e which is great news for Australia’s efforts so far.

IN BRIEF GERMANY’S LARGEST BESS SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION Germany’s RWE has begun construction of one of Germany’s largest battery storage facilities at its power plant locations in Neurath and Hamm.

The facility will have a capacity of 220 MW and storage capacity of 235 MWh. A total of 690 lithium-ion battery blocks will be installed at the facility, involving an investment of approximately €140 million. The storage facility is providing a major boost to structural transformation in North Rhine-Westphalia. By making practical use of the existing locations and grid connections, we are making the traditional power plant sites of Hamm and Neurath important partners for renewables.

The BESS is scheduled to supply balancing energy to stabilise the electricity grid from the second half of 2024. This will entail the plant taking excess power from the electricity grid and feeding it back into the system when required, in order to maintain the required grid frequency.

It will be deployed on the wholesale market.

US$70 MILLION UPGRADE FOR THE 600MW LONG ISLAND SOUND CABLE UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION LINE The New York Power Authority has completed a $70 million upgrade and modernization of its Long Island Sound Cable (Y-49), an underground transmission line that transverses the Long Island Sound from Westchester County to Nassau County, carrying up to 600 megawatts of electricity to Long Island.

The transmission project accelerates progress against New York State’s goal for 70% of the state’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030. It also advances the state’s path to realise a zero-emission grid by 2040 as outlined in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (the Climate Act).

“With this comprehensive modernisation project completing on schedule and ahead of the peak demand summer season, the Long Island Sound Cable will help ensure reliable transmission of power to the nearly three million New Yorkers that make Long Island their home,” said Michael Balboni, NYPA trustee and Long Island resident.

The reconductoring project included the replacement and commissioning of the Nassau County section of the cable. .

The 26-mile, 345-kilovolt transmission line was placed into service in May 1991 and is part of a statewide network of approximately 1,400 circuit-miles of high-voltage transmission lines and associated substations owned by the Power Authority.

NEW APPROACH TO BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE LAUNCHED

In a move designed to supplement its power generation business, Volvo Penta is launching a new offer – a high-performance subsystem based on the Volvo Group’s electromobility platform, optimised for OEMs’ BESS applications.

“Battery energy storage is increasingly in demand for a variety of applications including utilities, factories, decentralised microgrids and mobile charging stations,” commented Hannes Norrgren, President of Volvo Penta Industrial.

“As our solution is application agnostic, we see huge potential for its adoption. Together with OEMs, our solution provides possibilities to store energy from and add resiliency to renewable solar or wind-powered sources, opening new business models that appeal to end customers on their road to net-zero emissions.”

The signature attribute in Volvo Penta’s modular and scalable BESS subsystem is a high-energydensity and high-power battery system with a favorable C-rating – which ensures quick and substantial charge and discharge, in response to sudden demand.

These battery systems are energy and poweroptimised to meet business and operational needs.

From just one, to as many units as are required for the OEM’s BESS applications, Volvo Penta’s solution is scalable up to hundreds of mega-watt hours.

“BESS will enable highly flexible energy solutions, making low to no emissions a far more viable proposition for mobile and stationary use,” added Hannes. “We’re starting by introducing the solution to customers in North America and Europe, followed by other markets, and are eager to begin collaborating with OEMs to kickstart new projects in BESS.” Volvo Penta’s offer is built on the Volvo Group’s electromobility platform which has seen success in applications such as trucks, buses and construction equipment. In parallel, the Volvo Group is also investing in battery cell and pack manufacturing. .

“Volvo Penta’s engineering expertise, together with knowledge from the Volvo Group, will be key in guiding our OEMs in developing a battery energy storage solution to meet new segment and application needs as we jointly navigate this energy transition,” concluded Heléne Mellquist, CEO of Volvo Penta. “The company has taken an exciting next step in its journey to visualising and realising an ecosystem of road-to-netzero solutions that not only strengthen our generation business but go well beyond into new segments.”

CEMENT FACTORY IN BANGLADESH INSTALLS ADVANCED GAS GENSET Clarke Energy in Bangladesh has delivered an in-situ power generation plant to Mir Cement Ltd., providing energy resilience with reduced costs and CO2 emissions at their cement grinding plant in Narayanganj.

A Jenbacher Type-6 gas genset, has been installed within the building at the facility. At full operating capacity, the plant is expected to grind 2.400 tonnes of cement per day, reports Clarke Energy.

Mr. A.K.M Zaidul Islam, Director Sales Clarke Energy Bangladesh, tells WIP magazine: “When we did the load analysis for Mir’s cement manufacturing unit, the ball mill block load was a major challenge identified.

“After having detailed discussions with our engineering department, we offered them an integrated solution wherein the offered Jenbacher genset runs in grid synchronised mode during the start of one of the ball mills and once the load has been stabilized, it switches to island / isolated mode of operation, making the installation grid independent”.

Mir Cement is one of Bangladesh’s most successful cement manufacturing brands. Mir Cement is linked to Mir Akhter Hossain Limited, one of Bangladesh’s leaders in infrastructure & project construction and a Mir Group of Companies Limited subsidiary.

Through the years, Mir Cement has invested heavily in R&D to produce the best quality cement with a minimal carbon footprint. It has helped to enhance the characteristics of the cement blend, technological integration in manufacturing, storage, and supply chain, user demands, and performance in the long term.

The company’s quality business approach has also made Mir Cement one of Bangladesh’s most reliable cement producers. Mir Cement has been part of many pioneering projects in Bangladesh.

These include: Mirpur-Kalshi Flyover, Dhaka Elevated Expressway, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Liberation War Museum, Kachpur Meghna Gomti 2nd Bridge, Mugda Medical College and Hospital, the Hotel Intercontinental (New Block), Krishibid Institution Bangladesh, Bosila Bridge, Shahid Ahasan Ullah Master Ural Setu, Radisson Blu Water Garden, and the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant.

INDONESIA PLANS A SUPERGRID TO LINK ALL THE ISLANDS IN THE ARCHIPELAGO The Indonesian government has revealed its latest ambitious plan to lay an underwater power cable to connect five main areas of Indonesia to one central power grid.

The project will be known as the Nusantara Supergrid Electrical Network.

Once the various renewable power sourcess are being fed into the Supergrid power network clean energy (EBT) can be be used more effectively in the national EBT-based energy mix.

Secretary General of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Rida Mulyana commented: “We will create what is called a national supergrid because we are an archipelago consisting of 17,000 or 18,000 islands. In time we will connect these with underwater power cables.”

The development of the the Supergrid will mirror that of the Telkom cable network which already connects all parts of Indonesia through undersea cables across almost all parts of Indonesia, from Papua to Aceh.

The development of the Super Grid as an EBT-based electricity distribution solution was first unveiled by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Arifin Tasrif, at the 2022 BloombergNEF Summit entitled ‘Indonesia’s Sustainable Energy Transition Ambition’ in Nusa Dua, Bali, in 2022.

Minister Arifin confirms that the supergrid is one approach to achieve the national Net Zero Emissions (NZE) target in 2060.

NEW TURBINE REPAIR HUB ESTABLISHED IN SINGAPORE Four years ago GE pledged $60 million to equip its Singaporean site for advanced gas turbine repairs. Today, GE’s Repair Solutions Singapore (GRSS) is now a global hub for fixing the key components in the world’s fastest-growing fleet of H-Class heavy-duty gas turbines.

Now the site is stepping up its technical expertise yet again. It has gained the capability to repair a crucial part of GE Gas Power’s HA turbine, a symbol of Asia’s growth to gas-fuelled power. That’s a potential game changer for Asian power generators, who have driven demand for the highly efficient HA in recent years, and it marks another step in GE’s broader ambition to make electricity more globally accessible.

No longer do customers have to send HA rotors, the fast-whirling shaft which sucks air into the turbine’s combustion section and spins the generator, to GE’s specialist shops in North America and Europe when they require attention.

Doing the job in Singapore can cut as much as two months off the repair cycle. That wins back thousands of megawatt-hours of generation and millions of dollars in revenue for Asian customers, and significantly reduces the carbon emissions associated with a rotor repair job.

“This is a very significant improvement to the lead time and delivery of repairs that supports the outage needs of our Asian customers,” says Morgan Terrill, an executive of Supply Chain Development for GE.

JUNE 2023

GAS TURBINES MARKET DEVELOPMENTS 2023-27 THE LATEST 5-YEAR ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

L

ast year - 2022 - was a good year for gas turbine sales, with an increase in both units ordered as well as a significant increase in MWs sold, with a large number of “jumbo” unit sales driving the increase in overall MWs. This was the conclusion reached by Gas Turbine World (gasturbineworld.com/market-forecast).

According to its analysts, price increases, driven by higher costs, will push new unit sales above $69 billion over the next 5 years.

In 2020, gas turbines sized 150MW or greater dominated order activity with units sized 300MWs or more increasingly taking a larger share of the market.

This trend reversed in 2021, with units ranging from 30MW to 100MW seeing increased support as backup for renewable power.

This monentum continued in 2022, with growth in sales of aeroderivative gas turbines. At the smaller MW end of the market, gas turbines sized 10MW or less have seen their market share decrease, and we anticipate this trend to continue.

The market for small gas turbines under 5MW has almost disappeared due to inroads by reciprocating engines. In 2022, Mitsubishi Power became the overall market leader for the first time in terms of MWs sold.

Key market drivers in gas turbines Markets are now seeing impacts from the war and crisis in Ukraine, with lower demand for Russian natural gas causing a shift from new pipeline gas turbines to regions like North America, says the analysts from Gas Turbine World.

The analysts say: “Looking ahead, we anticipate coal retirements in North America, Germany and China will mainly benefit from large Heavy Frame gas turbines.

“The aero gas turbine market for equipment which provides backup capacity for renewable energy, will benefit from higher demand and steady pricing.

“In the Oil & Gas Sector: despite a significant decline in activity, the most notable trend is a large drop in units sized 1-5MW and 20-30MW. In the Electric Power Utility Sector: units in the 30-40MW range are up and sales of 300MW+ units have rocketed.”

Allied Market Research (www.alliedmarketresearch. com) has produced its own recent economic report: Called “Gas Turbine Market Opportunities - 20232030”. According to its investigators the global gas turbine market was valued at US$18.5 billion in 2020, and will reach US$25.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 3.3% from 2023 to 2030.

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

AN INCREASE IN DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION AND THE REPLACEMENT OF PHASED OUT NUCLEAR & COAL PLANTS ARE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR GAS TURBINE SALES. One AMR analyst comments: “Gas turbine is a mechanical device, which harnesses energy from working fluid or gas by utilising its kinetic energy or potential energy.

“These turbines run on the Brayton Cycle principle. The Brayton Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which describes the operation of certain heat engines that have air or some other gas as their working fluid., The term applies to systems equipped with a heater, compressor, turbine, and cooler. The working fluid undergoes thermodynamic process where the system converts mechanical/heat energy into rotating energy, which, in turn, produces the electricity as output.”

The analyst continues: “The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak across the globe resulted in a decline in demand for power from industrial and commercial end-users owing to halted production and manufacturing activities amid government imposed lock down measures.

“Due to this the demand for gas turbines is expected decline during the forecast period 2023-2030.”

The growth of the global gas turbine market is apparently being driven by rapid technological advancements in the energy sector coupled with increase in focus toward distributed power generation technologies.

The gas turbine market is expected to grow significantly

between now and 2030 on account of rise in government support across the world for power generation technologies which aim to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

According to the bp Statistical Review of World Energy 2021, natural gas was the largest source of electricity generation in the U.S. in 2020. It was also the second largest source of electricity generation across the globe, occupying a 40.5% share in sources of the US power generation and 23.4% share in sources of the global power generation.

The major factor driving the growth of the market - it is suggested - is the paradigm shift from coal-based power generation to gas-based power generation of developed and developing countries such as the US, Japan, China, and India.

All these nations support government policies for setting up gas-based power plants.

In addition, assured long-term fuel supply across various oil producing companies across the globe is one of the key factors enhancing the growth of the gas turbine market.

Gas turbines play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Compared to other combustion-based electricity generation applications, these are efficient and also result in decreasing carbon emissions - which are two especially positive factors.

13MW BIOGAS GENERATORS FOR A BIOMASS & NATURAL GAS POWER PLANT BASED IN CHINA

F

ive biogas generators were provided by Jereh Combined Energy Co., Ltd. to a biomass natural gas power plant based in China.

Manufactured by INNIO the biogas gensets are powered by NIDEC/Leroy Somer alternators, 4 x LSA54 ZL105/4P and 1 x LSA53.1 XL80/4P, offering 13MW in power output in total.

These gensets have been installed at two cattle farms in China. The annual production capacity of the site’s biogas facility is over 100 million kWh, making this is the largest project of biogas power generation in the field of animal husbandry in China.

Biogas is produced from cattle slurry through anaerobic fermentation processes. The gas gensets can convert biogas into electricity with an efficiency of 44.1%.

The converted electrical energy not only meets the daily electricity consumption of the farms, it also supplements China’s national grid.

Thanks to the installation the client now recycles waste heat from the flue gas and cylinder liner water of the genset instead of using conventional heating from biogas boiler. The heat is then sent to the ranch’s fermentation tank. Overall energy use efficiency reaches 88%, effectively reducing CO2 emissions.

The Leroy-Somer LSA 54 installed on the gensets also plays its part in this highly-efficient system. The LAS 54 offers high performance and is the kind of reliable industrial alternator which suits all types of generator sets.

“The LSA Series industrial alternators have been built for performance and intensive use. They are engineered to withstand the test of time and extreme conditions, sourcing the best materials and focusing on sturdy construction,” reports NIDEC. “LSA alternators are also highly customizable and can be adapted to fit any specification,” explains a company spokesman.

Other China projects involving biogas The INNIO group is currently also supporting Wuhan in its efforts to become the most sustainable city in China.

The Wuhan Waste-to-Energy project, for example, has entered its second phase with the commissioning of six additional Jenbacher J320 engines by Wuhan Environmental Investment and Development Co., Ltd (WEID).

A total of 14 Jenbacher gensets now generate 14.9 MW of flexible, scalable, and resilient power for the Wuhan Jiangxia Changshankou Municipal Solid Waste landfill

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

NIDEC/Leroy Somer LSA54

gas (LFG) project. The captured landfill gas used in the gensets is enough to power up to 35,000 homes in Wuhan.

INNIO distributor Guangzhou Shenfa Electromechanical Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (Shenfa) provided the project’s genset containers, landfill gas pre-treatment equipment, and NOx reduction equipment.

Shenfa also will continue to provide technical services for the customer.

More than 800 Jenbacher generator sets have been delivered across China, where INNIO is recognised as a leading energy solution and service provider in the power generation segment.

Dr. Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO Group, comments: “INNIO continues to move energy forward with our innovative technology and engineering. With our energy solutions and services, we actively support the battle to combat climate change. Our technology now provides even more energy for Wuhan and creates a more sustainable and circular economy.”

The landfill site is designed for daily treatment of 1,700 tons of domestic garbage.

WEID first turned to INNIO’s proven

landfill gas power generation technology in 2020, selecting eight J320 gensets for the project’s first phase. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the INNIO team was able to deliver the units on schedule, with commissioning in April 2021. The units have been operating reliably for the past two years - a result which convinced WEID to purchase the six additional J320 gensets in April 2022.

Commissioning for Phase 2 took place in December 2022.

Landfill gas is composed of about half methane, half CO2, and a small amount of non-methane organic compounds. Instead of letting this potent greenhouse gas escape into the atmosphere, it can be collected and used as a valuable energy source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating financial value. When an engines operates with methane, it converts to CO2, which is approximately 25 times less harmful to the climate than methane itself. While landfill gas has many potential applications, its use in a Jenbacher genset delivers high profitability with exceptional overall efficiencies of up to 86% in combined heat and power (CHP) applications. www.innio.com

ZERO EMISSION STATIONARY FUEL CELL PROVIDES BACKUP POWER FOR DATA CENTRE

A

stationary fuel cell (FC) recently installed on the American Honda campus in Torrance, Calif. USA, is a first step toward future commercialisation of zero-emission backup power generation.

In the coming years, Honda will begin applying stationary FC power station technologies to Honda manufacturing facilities and data centers around the world. Honda is advancing hydrogen fuel cells to provide clean, safe and secure energy toward its global goal of carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050.

A company spokesman commented: “The operation of a stationary fuel cell power station on its corporate campus in Torrance, Calif., marks Honda’s first step toward future commercialisation of zero-emission backup power generation. T “The initiative leverages Honda’s hydrogen fuel cell technology expertise and contributes to the company’s global goal to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050.”

Now fully operational as a demonstration program, Honda’s fuel cell power station supplies clean and quiet emergency backup power to the data centre on the campus of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. In the coming years, Honda will begin applying a next-generation stationary fuel cell system to Honda manufacturing facilities and data centers globally, thereby reducing the company’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The demonstration stationary fuel cell unit has a capacity of approximately 500kW and reuses the fuel cell systems of previously leased Honda Clarity Fuel Cell vehicles, with a design that allows the output to increase every 250kW packaged with four fuel cells.

It features the flexibility to change the layout of the fuel cell units to suit the installation environment and to accommodate cubic, L-shaped, Z-shaped, and other packaging configurations.

Future stationary FC units intended for commercialisation will utilise Honda’s next-generation FC system jointly developed with General Motors and also set to power an all-new fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) based on the Honda CR-V coming in 2024.

Over the last few years, the power requirements of data centers have been growing rapidly due to the expansion of cloud computing and big data utilisation, and the need for backup power sources has been increasing from the perspective of business continuity planning (BCP). The Torrance fuel cell station also serves as a proof of concept for future

22

WORLDWIDE INDEPENDENT POWER

commercialisation of the power generation unit.

“We believe there’s great promise in hydrogen fuel cells for backup power and offsetting potential peak power events,” said Koji Moriyama, project lead of the stationary fuel cell and principal engineer with American Honda R&D Business Unit.

“By installing and utilising our core technology, the fuel cell system, in various applications such as stationary power generation, Honda aims to stimulate hydrogen usage and provide clean energy for potential commercial customers.”

Data centres require highquality and reliable power, where any disruption in power supply can lead to downtime or problems such as data corruption and damage to servers.

Typical stationary backup generators rely on diesel fuel, which result in higher carbon emissions and local air pollutants.

Backup power systems utilising hydrogen fuel cells offer a promising future for clean, yet reliable and high-quality power generation, especially when operating on so-called “green hydrogen” made from renewable sources, with water vapour as the only emission. Hydrogen can be stored and transported with a high energy density, and can be refilled in a short time.

The “hydrogen circulation cycle,” which starts with renewable energy, consists of three phases – “generate,” “store / transport” and “use.”

Starting with the use of water electrolysis technology, electricity derived from renewable energy sources can be converted into green hydrogen, making it less susceptible to fluctuations in power generation due to seasonality and weather conditions.

It also becomes possible to then

transport the energy to where it is needed in the form of “green hydrogen” via transport by land, sea, and pipeline.

Based on Honda’s “Triple Zero” approach, which consists of three focus areas – carbon neutrality, clean energy and resource circulation – Honda is striving to realise a circular & resource-recycling society which aims for zero environmental impact by 2050.

Honda aims to create a closed loop, circular economy which maximises the useful life of materials in Honda products – including the fuel cell systems of Honda Clarity Fuel Cell vehicles for the demonstration stationary fuel cell unit.

By developing recovery systems to recapture materials of its products when they reach end-of-life, Honda can reuse, refurbish, repurpose and recycle them into new products and foster Honda’s circular economy.

Honda is taking a proactive approach to increase the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and will strive to expand its hydrogen business.

In late 2022 Honda announced that starting in 2024 it will also produce an all-new hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). www.honda.com

A NEW ZEALAND ‘FIRST’ - THE FIRST GRIDCONNECTED BESS LINKS WITH NATIONAL GRID

S

aft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, has been awarded a major contract by Meridian Energy to construct New Zealand’s first large-scale grid-connected BESS. Located at Ruakākā in the country’s North Island, the 100-megawatt (MW) BESS will improve the stability of the national grid, as intermittent renewable power generation increases in New Zealand.

The BESS is the first stage of a project that will include the construction of a co-located 130 MW solar farm by Meridian Energy.

Saft is providing a fully integrated solution for the Ruakākā BESS, including supply of battery and power conversion equipment, installation, commissioning and 20 years operational services.

Scheduled to enter service in the second half of 2024, the BESS will have storage capacity of 200 megawatt-hours (MWh) to support the local grid demand for around two hours.

This versatile North Island asset will open multiple new revenue streams for Meridian, with the ability to load shift between price periods and participate in the North Island reserve electricity market. Meridian anticipates that the BESS will deliver annual revenues of up to US$35 million.

Meridian Energy Chief Executive Neal Barclay said:“As intermittent renewable generation increases in New Zealand, this BESS will help manage supply fluctuations and reduce this country’s reliance on fossil fuels.

“We have a bold vision for Ruakākā, with a grid-scale solar farm planned to further speed up our transition to a low carbon economy The shared infrastructure provided by the BESS will significantly improve the economics of the future solar farm.”

The complete BESS solution supplied by Saft will include 80 Intensium ® Shift battery containers, based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology with 40 inverters Freemaq PCSK GEN3, 20 Medium-Voltage Power Stations and a Power Management System provided by third-party suppliers.

Saft will integrate this equipment with Meridian and Transpower 33kV switchgears, SCADA and power stations.

Suited to energy time-shifting, peaking and capacity support applications, Intensium-Shift 3 MWh containers are scalable building blocks. They can be installed in line-ups with power conversion equipment with a 50% smaller system footprint, while reducing 50% of site-related activities, allowing a faster

deployment of utility-scale storage plants.

Intensium-Shift containers benefit from Saft’s safety concept with a unique combination of proven and tested safety devices, such as fire suppression systems and blast panels.

Containers are built in Saft’s factories and adopt a modular approach, embedding batteries, thermal systems and digital control interfaces connecting to Saft’s cloud-based data platform I-Sight.

This end-to-end data management solution ensures real-time remote monitoring of system KPI’s and enables optimised asset utilisation with minimum OPEX and downtime.

Saft works in close partnership with customers, providing technical expertise and support from project inception and engineering, through implementation and commissioning to end-of-life, dismantling and recycling of containers. . In 2022 Saft won a turnkey contract for a 7MWh battery energy

storage system (BESS) in a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic.

Saft delivered the 6MW/7MWh system to the Longyearbyen community on the island of Svalbard for completion in late 2022.

The bulk of Svalbard’s population of slightly under 3,000 people live there.

The lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) BESS was housed in six containers based on Saft’s Intensium Max High Energy technology and will feature a fully integrated solution including power conversion and control systems. The BESS allows Longyearbyen to cut its emissions by 100% over time.

The BESS is located next to a coal-fired power station to provide reserve capacity and overcome fluctuations, as well as backup power.

The coal station will close in 2023, after which the BESS will provide voltage and frequency control to integrate diesel generators and growing amounts of renewable energy. www.saftbatteries.com

DISTRIBUTED ENERGY OFFERS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN FOOD DISTRIBUTION

O

ne of Turkey’s largest chicken meat producers covers a large part of its energy requirements with combined heat and power plants for generating electricity and heat.

Iltekno, MWM’s distributor in Turkey, planned and supplied the plants with the right equipment.

One of Turkey’s largest chicken meat producers is the food company Beypiliç, located in the province of Bolu.

Beypiliç produces a wide range of poultry meat products at several plants in Bolu and near Ankara.

Founded in 1979, the company is one of Turkey’s 100 largest industrial companies and employs almost 3,300 people.

In 2010, Beypiliç invested in a turnkey cogeneration plant with two MWM gas gensets, each with a capacity of 4.3 MWe, for its plant in Bolu.

Iltekno, Caterpillar Energy Solutions’ regional distributor, supplied and installed the CHP. With this CHP, a close partnership between Beypiliç and Iltekno developed, which has lasted more than twelve years.

Between 2010 and 2022, the co-operation was consolidated by further commissioning seven MWM gas gensets at several locations.

In Bolu, for example, the capacity of the existing CHP plant was expanded by the purchase of two MWM TCG 2032 V16 gensets. This means that nine MWM gas gensets generate electricity and heat for Beypiliç.

A pioneering company in its sector Poultry rearing facilities, slaughterhouses, feed production, and food production - all these divisions of Beypiliç require large amounts of energy and heat.

Hamdi Tanrıkulu, a member of Beypiliç’s board of directors, explains background to the decision in favour of Iltekno’s plants: “During our evaluations conducted in early 2010, considering that distributed energy systems would be more important in Turkey, we decided to invest in gas-engined cogeneration power plants.

“Gas-engine systems have high electricity generation efficiency, high availability rates, and low maintenance costs, and they are suitable for stop-start operation, which attracted us as a much more suitable system than other distributed energy generation systems.”

This is especially true of gas engines which can reach high efficiency levels and become very advantageous financially - especially when you consider the points where the hot water obtained from the jacket water can be effectively used within the facility,”.

Alongside the order for nine MWM gas gensets, long-term complete maintenance contracts were signed for all plants.

“Iltekno’s experienced teams of technicians are located in many regions of Turkey, so we have never had any major problems with our plants, both during planned maintenance and during breakdowns in general,” says Tanrıkulu, praising Iltekno’s service.

A productive partnership for more than 12 years Beypilic uses the CHP plants to supply its electricity to the company’s various divisions and cover almost all of the electricity requirements of the individual factories.

The thermal output of the CHP plants is mainly used to provide process steam for food production.

The electrical efficiency of the plants is 43.8 %; when heat is used, the overall efficiency is over 90 %.

Using cogeneration, Beypiliç has saved around 150,000 tons of CO2 since commissioning, compared with conventional energy supply.

This is roughly equivalent to the amount of CO2 a passenger car would emit if it circled the earth 150 times.

“We have expanded our gas engine cogeneration power plant investment, which started in 2010, over the years, and reached nine engines in total,” says Hamdi Tanrıkulu “One of the important factors in making such big investments was our confidence in Iltekno and MWM, which has more than 150 years of experience.”

He concludes: ”Our power plant investments of more than 12 years enabled us to make financial savings and provided us with uninterrupted and clean energy, which resulted in a serious competitive advantage in our favor.” www.mwm.net

8MW HYDROGEN-GAS READY BACKUP POWER FOR A MANUFACTURING SITE IN ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA, USA

S

iemens Energy has supplied 4 x 2MW Hydrogen-ready generators for an industrial client based in Ontario, a city in southwestern San Bernardino County in the U.S. state of California.The customer’s site is roughly 35 miles (56 km) east of downtown Los Angeles and 23 miles (37 km) west of downtown San Bernardino, the county seat.

Located in the western part of the Inland Empire metropolitan area, it lies just east of Los Angeles County and is part of the Greater Los Angeles Area. As of the 2020 Census, the city had a population of 175,265 people.

The city is home to the Ontario International Airport, which is the 15th-busiest airport in the United States by cargo carried.

Ontario handles the mass of freight traffic between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the rest of the country.

SIEMEN’s manufacturing client in Ontario now operates a facility which can rely on electrical power from an 8 MW ‘carbon neutral’, peak mitigation, backup power system offering demand response, an operating reserve and fully-financed engine solution. SIEMENS is also involved in another similar 6 MW and 10 MW solution being built for the same customer.

Looking at hydrogen’s potential Siemens Energy has effectively combined its unique portfolio of gas and steam turbines, electrolyzers, and heat pumps, and turning it into a unique optimised power plant solution with one operating system.

Siemens’ hydrogen power plant includes an H2-fired gas turbine (e.g. SGT5-9000HL, SGT-800, or SGT-400), electrolyzers with H2 compression and storage, and our Omnivise fleet management system to integrate all components including renewable energy sources feeding electricity into the electrolyzer.

According to the company combining the full re-electrification of hydrogen with heat generation can significantly increase the overall efficiency of the hydrogen power plant solution. This option includes a heat pump for heat recovery and a thermal storage system as buffer.

The heat pump captures waste heat from the electrolysis process and increases its temperature to feed either directly into a district heating network, or temporarily store it in a thermal energy storage system as a buffer before feeding it into the heat network.

A spokesman commented: “Our hydrogen power plants reduce CO2 emissions, which helps our customers to achieve their decarbonization goals.

“Siemens Energy integrates the different components into one plant solution. Renewable energy is used to produce hydrogen when it is abundantly available,” he explains.

“The power plant re-electrifies the energy when renewables can not meet the demand. The Omnivise control system optimises supply and demand between the different elements of the solution.”

What H2 will mean for clean energy production Today, the world produces 75 million tons of hydrogen each year. Most of it is generated from fossil fuels, mainly natural gas and coal.

This accounts for 6% of the global natural gas consumption, 2% of the global coal consumption, and results in 830 million tons of carbon-dioxide being released every year – almost as much as Germany’s annual CO2 emissions.

Producing all of this hydrogen with green energy will help to substantially reduce emissions. The future market for this tiny molecule is huge.

Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy are joining forces to kickstart a new era of offshore green hydrogen production that will power a cleaner future.

Together, they are developing an innovative solution which fully

integrates an electrolyzer into an offshore wind turbine as a single synchronised system to directly produce green hydrogen.

Siemens Gamesa is adapting the world’s most powerful turbine, the SG14-222 DD offshore wind turbine, to integrate an electrolysis system seamlessly into its operation.

Siemens Gamesa’s modular approach ensures a scalable offshore wind-to-hydrogen solution.

Siemens Energy is developing a new electrolysis product which meets the needs of the harsh maritime offshore environment and is in perfect sync with the wind turbine.

The developments will serve as a test bed for making large-scale, cost-efficient hydrogen production a reality and will prove the feasibility of reliable, effective implementation of modular offshore wind-to-hydrogen systems.

Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy will target a total investment of approximately EUR 120 million over the next five years in the ongoing development of this innovative solution, with a full-scale offshore demonstration expected to be achieved by 2025-2026. www.siemensgamesa.com

THE RED SEA PROJECT: 69 GENSETS ARE NOW PROVIDING 32MW OF PRIME POWER

T

he Red Sea Project is a major land and property development announced by the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in July 2017 and very much in full-swing in 2023. It is being established on the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast.

The project is primarily focused on tourism, with facilities to encourage tourists to stay and explore the Saudi Western Coast.

Zahid Tractor was selected by a major contractor to supply power solutions which deliver 32MW of prime power for The Red Sea Project, a nearly 11,000 squaremile (28,000 sq km) fully-regenerative tourism destination currently under development along Saudi Arabia’s west coast.

Zahid Tractor is currently supplying 69 generator sets capable of running on both conventional diesel and B100 biodiesel to supply energy during the construction phase of The Red Sea Project. The luxury tourist destination will include a total of 16 hotels, an international airport and other commercial operations scheduled for completion in 2023.

The project involves supplying and maintaining field-proven gensets fed by various eco-friendly hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), biodiesel, and blended fuel products.

Zahid Tractor has already delivered, installed and commissioned most of the generator sets in weather-resistant, sound-attenuated enclosures which are currently being used to support construction activities and workforce accommodations.

Most of the genset units are equipped with Connect Remote Access Monitoring (RAM) sensors, an advanced data visualisation, reporting and alert offering from Caterpillar.

The technology provides data visualization, reporting, and alerts from anywhere in the world through an easy-to-use web interface or mobile app. Cat RAM helps operators and Cat dealers track and manage the operation of Cat generator sets, flag potential problems, perform remote troubleshooting, manage operational expenses, and leverage long-term archives of site performance history to identify opportunities for further operational or system enhancements.

Zahid Tractor is also addressing uptime needs through Customer Value Agreements (CVAs), which include customer technician training, regular maintenance at scheduled intervals, and around-the-clock, on-demand technical support.

“The Red Sea Project is a global showcase for demonstrating how large-scale economic development projects can incorporate sustainability into their operations to help them achieve their business goals,” comments Bart Myers, general manager.

“Zahid Tractor has the advanced technologies and local expertise needed to support every phase of this high-profile project and help attain its business and sustainability targets.”

Managed by The Red Sea D evelopment Company, The Red Sea Project is one of three giga-projects included in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

With sustainability at its core, The Red Sea Project encompasses an archipelago of more than 90 islands, desert landscapes, mountain canyons, dormant volcanoes, and ancient cultural and heritage sites.

The project will include hotels, residential properties, leisure, commercial and entertainment amenities, supported by infrastructure that emphasises clean renewable energy, full decarbonisation, water conservation and reuse, and a circular waste management system for achieving zero-waste-to-landfill goals. www.zahid.com

Remote asset monitoring will help to keep track of the status of the 69 gensets which have been deployed in the Red Sea Project.

This can be achieved using either laptops or mobile phones.

UPS

JUNE 2023

HOW YOU CAN REDUCE UPS TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP BY RIGHTSIZING

H

ow do professional UPS users ensure they install a UPS that always provides them the highest level of power protection at the lowest possible cost throughout the UPS’s working life? This is the question posed by By David Bond, Chairman, Centiel UK [right].

The answer is either have a perfect vision of the future or install a scalable UPS. The Power Protection Problem Most organisations have a critical load comprising IT equipment that must be fully operational at all times, so they need an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

UPS systems have a useful working life of 12-15 years which, in a typical IT environment, will see 3-4 generations of server etc. upgrades.

It is also likely to see changing load demand as the organisation’s business expands or contracts, so how does the organisation ensure they fit the right sized UPS for both now and the future?

Fit an oversized UPS on day one This is the solution most often seen on a site. If lucky, the organisation will be able to measure its existing critical load and have a good starting point for UPS sizing but what does the future hold?

Installing a UPS that is the right size for today may prove to be an expensive mistake in 2-3 years’ time when an IT upgrade or business expansion occurs and the new UPS is now too small.

Replacing a relatively new UPS wastes CAPEX and is highly disruptive to site operations so fitting a larger than currently necessary UPS “just in case” often appears to be a good solution.

After various levels of Management and the Consultant etc. have each added their little bit of “just in case”, the UPS finally selected UPS will be oversized, wasting both CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) and OPEX (Operating Expenditure).

Why oversized UPS waste CAPEX and OPEX Large UPS are more expensive to purchase than small UPS so there is an inevitable hit to CAPEX but wasted CAPEX is only part of the problem.

Not properly maintaining a UPS is very unwise and large UPS cost more to maintain than small UPS, so maintenance costs need to be considered.

Maintaining a UPS is not wasting OPEX but paying to maintain a UPS that is oversized definitely is.

UPS operate more efficiently when they are more heavily loaded than when they are lightly loaded. This lower operating efficiency wastes expensive energy and therefore wastes OPEX. For example, if a site installs a 300kW UPS for a 100kW load the UPS will operate at a suboptimal point on the efficiency curve. If the UPS operating efficiency is only 1% worse than optimal, for a 100kW load, 1kWH is being wasted every hour. At 50.897p/kWH (accurate at the time of writing) the UPS will waste £4,458p/a or £44,585 over its typical 10 year useful working life.

organisation could install a CumulusPower three phase modular UPS cabinet capable of supplying 300kW but only fit two 60kW UPS modules into the cabinet.

This will minimise both CAPEX and OPEX by only paying to purchase and maintain the 120kW currently needed and operating the UPS at an optimal point on the efficiency curve.

The future is also protected because if the UPS load ever increases above 120kW a third 60kW UPS module can be fitted into the UPS cabinet increasing it to 180kW, and so on up to 300kW. Three-phase modular UPS cabinets capable of supplying up to 900kW are available making the benefits of scalable UPS available to almost all organisations.

Ready for Growth Oversized UPS are inefficient and cost more to buy and maintain. The correct sizing of a UPS ensures efficiency in system design and reduces its overall total cost of ownership (TCO).

Centiel’s true modular UPS are scalable, so an organisation can install what it currently needs and can add UPS capacity, when needed, using a “pay-as-you-grow” approach.

Only the UPS’s electrical infrastructure needs to be ready for future growth, allowing for system upgrades without the need to transfer the load to bypass or a site shutdown.

Centiel’s sales engineers act as trusted advisors to all its clients and

ensure that all Centiel’s UPS systems are perfectly sized to cost effectively meet all their clients’ needs.

At CENTIEL our design team has been working with critical loads for many years at the forefront of technological development.

We are the trusted advisors to some of the world’s leading institutions and our UPS product range contains class leading free standing and true modular UPS, providing the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) because of very high level of operating efficiency and low maintenance costs.

For more information about Centiel’s full range of UPS solutions please see: www.centiel.co.uk

Scalable UPS Both single and three phase modular UPS list scalability amongst their many operational benefits. The ability to “pay-as-you-grow” means that an organisation can plan for its future UPS needs but not pay for it until needed.

DECARBONISATION SEMINAR SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 27th, 2023 - IGEM HOUSE, KEGWORTH

THE ENERGY SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO BE REVOLUTIONISED AND HERE’S HOW What is REMA? (Review of Electricity Market Arrangement) The Government’s Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) will create a smarter, more flexible & transparent electricity market that can meet the evolving needs of people and businesses in a world powered by electricity.

Where we are right now: The current state of the electricity market arrangements in the UK can be compared to a football team.

However, like any team, there are some players who are past their prime and may be slowing the team down. The goalie is pretty unreliable, and keeps wandering away to have a cigarette, while there is no clear captain, meaning the team often loses focus and misses important opportunities.

REMA presents a chance to make some changes in the team. However, if it is mishandled or poorly implemented, it could lead to a situation similar to Chelsea this season, who have been characterised by a lack of teamwork and collaboration, with each player focused solely on their individual performance and ego.

This approach can lead to a lack of cohesion, poor results, and ultimately, huge expenses for the industry and consumers. Where we could be if we get it right: If REMA is successful and well-executed, it could be like Manchester City this season. Like Man City, the electricity market could become a collection of world-class individual components, each pushing forward with their own unique strengths, but always willing to assist and support each other. This approach can lead to a powerful and dynamic team, which is more efficient and effective at meeting the needs of the industry and consumers.

NEW PRODUCTS THE POWERGEN SYSTEM FROM QNERGY Qnergy’s PowerGen system is the first generator to enable 100% methane destruction. This unique Free Piston Stirling Engine (FPSE) demonstrates superior environmental performance, exceeding EPA guidelines by orders of magnitude, according to independent third-party testing.

The results conclusively show that, for the first time, environmentally-friendly, utility-grade electrical power can be sourced from methane generation at the site, using a generator with zero methane slip.

The proven system is already in use on more than 1,000 sites across the Americas, where it has delivered more than 15 million hours of reliable power, with a maintenance-free engine. Qnergy’s unique PowerGen technology is based on an external combustion engine, with a clean-burning external combustor designed to work with any gaseous fuel.

It uses power electronics and software to control for variable raw source fuel feedstocks. Third party researchers tested the performance of the PowerGen, finding that combustion resulted in >99.998% (~100%) methane destruction efficiency, with particulate matter, CO, and NOx emissions levels at 0.11, 0.30, and 1.1 g/kW.hr, respectively, that meet and exceed EPA emission criteria.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with 84X the global warming potential of CO2 over its first 20 years when allowed to escape into the atmosphere. The productive use of methane waste is a global challenge, given the many distributed sources, from upstream well pads in the energy industry to farms and organic waste sites. These diverse methane sources all require power to capture, store, and/or convert methane into useful energy.

Historically, facilities that emit methane have been unable to use raw gas methane as a fuel, due to the challenges of corrosive contaminants, fluctuations in flow, and purity - until the development of this system. qnergy.com

POWER YOUR BUSINESS with efficient energy and economics

INNIO*’s flexible, scalable, and resilient Jenbacher* CHP and CCHP energy systems deliver power, heat and/or cooling for your local site while supporting your decarbonization efforts. Yielding up to 95% total efficiency, cogeneration can reduce your energy consumption and CO2 emissions by more than 30% compared to the separate generation of power and heat, significantly lowering your energy costs. Combined with heat storage, you can operate your asset flexibly. Jenbacher CHP and CCHP systems run on a wide range of gases with the option of converting to H2** operation once that fuel is more readily available.

Join us on our path for a sustainable future! jenbacher.com * Indicates a trademark. ** In general, “Ready for H2” Jenbacher units can be converted to operate on up to 100% hydrogen in the future. Details on the cost and timeline for a future conversion may vary and need to be clarified individually.
