Is the cheap energy dream over?

Economic reports suggest that global energy consumption will increase by 44% between 2006and 2030, driven by strong long-term economic growth in the developing nations of the world.This is the conclusion of a study from the ‘International Energy Outlook 2009"’(IEO2009)

released by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). While world energy demand in the nearterm has slumped slightly as a result of the global economic downturn, most countries alreadyanticipate that energy consumption growth rates will return to pre-recession levels within a veryfew years. China isn’t even waiting for this to happen - it appears to be forging ahead to meetfuture demand by building at least one new power plant every week.

If you are into big numbers, here are some for you. Total world energy use is predicted to risefrom 472 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2006 to 552 quadrillion Btu in 2015 - and then to678 quadrillion Btu in 2030. As a consequence of this the costs behind energy production have tocome down. What this means is that over the next few years as prices rise, it is the relativelycheap, unconventional resources - such as extra-heavy oil, coal-to-liquids, and gas-to-liquids, oilsands and biofuels such as rapeseed oil and fats derived from animals - which could be fuellingmore of the power stations of the future.

Certainly, from examples on the Continent, tallow made from rendered-down cow carcasesappears to be working out as a renewable and ‘green’ energy resource. See page 25 for our fullreport on the Mouscron Biomass co-gen plant example in Belgium. Currently producing 18MW of‘green energy’ - enough to meet the needs of 44,000 families and offer further profit fromrecoverable ‘waste’ heat. Its operators suggest that a plant like this can reduce CO2 emissions by66,000 tonnes a year. The EIA believes that world production of unconventional resources - whichtotalled 3.1 million barrels per day in 2006 - will expand to an amazing 13.4 million barrels per dayin 2030 - which represents 13% of total world liquids supply in 2030.

EU Commissioner for Energy, Andris Piebalgs, believes that research and development intoalternative power generation systems along these lines is crucial and reflects the energy andclimate change policies set by the EU. Clearly, the EU has a sort of 20:20 vision.

By 2020 - Piebalgs says - the EU will seek to reduce energy usage across Europe by 20% while - atthe same time - boosting renewable energy to 20% of the EU’s overall final energy consumption.Greenhouse gas emissions in Europe are also projected to be cut by 20%.

“Making energy systems more sustainable and secure is one of the greatest challenges for Europe.The potential is definitely there. It is now essential to unlock it and find appropriate ways to workfor industry, research and government to work together to achieve our common targets,” he says.

This kind of approach would appear to be the way forward to achieving EU Energy and ClimateChange Policy objectives as well as reducing the costs involved with producing energy at affordableprices. But will it actually happen by 2020? Watch this space.

9,000 engineersneededThe network companieswhich transport Britain'selectricity and gas fromsource to user will needto recruit up to 9,000engineers over the nextfive years, a cross partygroup of MPs was told. Upto 6,000 new engineerswill be directly employedby the electricitydistribution networkoperators (DNOs) and gasdistribution networks(GDNs), while 3,000 morejobs will need to be filledby companies in the sup-ply chain, according tothe companies' industrybody, the Energy NetworksAssociation (ENA).

Contract for FosterWheelerFoster Wheeler AG hasannounced that itsMilan-based subsidiaryFoster Wheeler ItalianaS.p.A, part of its GlobalEngineering andConstruction Group, hasbeen awarded a contractby the Rotterdam ClimateInitiative (RCI) for theprovision of engineeringconsultancy servicesrelated to RCI's plannedcarbon capture, storageand utilisation solution inthe Rotterdam region.

Cogenerationcontract for Spain DETISA, an energysupplier owned by majorSpanish oil companyCEPSA, has selected GEEnergy's gas turbinetechnology for a newcogeneration project inSan Roque, Cádiz, Spain.GE will supply a Frame 6Bgas turbine-generator forthe Lubrisur CogenerationPlant serving the energyrequirements of theGibraltar-San Roquerefinery, with excesselectricity to be sold tothe Spanish grid. Theplant has a capacity of 42megawatts of power andalso will produce steam tobe used for refineryprocesses. Cogeneration isa growing trend in Spain,where the government ispushing for energysavings, reduced gridlosses and reduced green-house gas emissions.

The sustainable power business ENER-G has openedan additional factory in Salford, Greater Manchester,to keep pace with worldwide demand for itsrenewable and energy efficient technologies. Thismeans the company can increase production of itscombined heat and power (CHP) and biogasgenerator units by 50% - to meet orders from acrossthe globe.

Last year the fast-growing business doubled itsoriginal manufacturing space by opening a secondfactory in Salford and it has now trebled its originalmanufacturing space to 34,000 sq ft, by convertingan adjacent building. ENER-G will train its factoryteam in lean manufacturing techniques to introducesmarter working practices and processes that willboost efficiency and ensure faster turnaround ofcustomer orders. As such, initial growth will beabsorbed by existing staff, but new jobs will becreated as production increases further.

ENER-G's CHP systems create electricity and heatsimultaneously and reduce carbon emissions byaround 20% while cutting electricity costs byapproximately one third. They are used by theBritish Royal family at Buckingham Palace andWindsor Castle, as well as in hospitals, hotels,leisure centres, supermarkets, factories and otherbuildings worldwide.

They can be powered by natural gas or renewablebiogases and ENER-G has installed and operates inexcess of 120MW of biogas generation, primarilyfrom landfill gas. It also applies its technology toanaerobic digestion, with a number of high profileprojects at wastewater treatment plants such as a4.5MW biogas cogeneration project in Budapest.ENER-G helped pioneer CHP technology 25 yearsago. Since then, the company has used its advancedtechnologies to assist organisations across the world

in reducing their carbon emissions by millions oftonnes. Energos, which has recently opened one ofits clean energy recovery facilities on the Isle ofWight and has six other plants in Europe, iscurrently rolling out its advanced conversion processthroughout the UK. It will start construction on newfacilities in Scotland, Lincolnshire, Merseyside andNewport over the next 12 months - with furtherdevelopments planned in Londonderry andDerbyshire. Another facility is already underconstruction in Sarpsborg, Norway.

Derek Duffill, group managing director, said:"ENER-G is a fine example of UK engineering andtechnological excellence. Our innovative productsand services are in demand across the globe -fuelling our ongoing growth and reflected in ourturnover of £90 million which has grown four-foldover the past six years. We have 701 employeesworldwide and operating companies in the UK,Hungary, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Norway andPoland, plus joint ventures in South Africa, Mexicoand Spain."

Energy consumption predicted to rise worldwide over the next 21 years

Worldwide industrial energyconsumption is expected to growfrom 175 quadrillion Btu in 2006to 246 quadrillion Btu in 2030,says a report - InternationalEnergy Outlook 2009 (IEO2009)released by the EnergyInformation Administration (EIA).

Industrial energy demand variesacross regions and countries of theworld, based on levels and mixesof economic activity and techno-logical development, among otherfactors. About 94 percent of theworld increase in industrial sectorenergy consumption is projectedto occur in the emergingeconomies, where-driven by rapideconomic growth-industrial energyconsumption grows at an averageannual rate of 2.1 percent in thereference case. The key enginesof growth in the projection arethe so-called "BRIC" countries(Brazil, Russia, India, and China),

which account for more than two-thirds of the developing world'sgrowth in industrial energy usethrough 2030.

In the IEO2009 reference case,which does not include specificpolicies to limit greenhouse gasemissions, energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions are projected torise from 29.1 billion metric tonsin 2005 to 40.4 billion metric tonsin 2030. This represents anincrease of 39 percent.

With strong economic growthand continued heavy reliance onfossil fuels expected, much of theincrease in carbon-dioxideemissions is projected to occuramong the developing nations ofthe world, especially in Asia.

GE Energy's Frame 6B gasturbine technology has beenselected for a cogeneration plantbeing built as part of a newproject in the Sinespetrochemical industrial park thatwill contribute to the regionaldevelopment of Portugal'sAlentejo coastal area and to therevitalization of the Sines port.

When completed, the 40-megawatt cogeneration facilitywill support a pure tereftalic acid(PTA) producing plant that willhave a PTA production capacityup to 700,000 tons per year,making it one of the largestproduction plants of its type inthe world.The PTA plant, to benamed Artenius Sines, will beowned and operated by La Sedade Barcelona, a chemical

company and a leader in the PETpackaging sector. According to thePortuguese Investment Agency,with its potential for creatingjobs and modernising thePortuguese chemical industry,Artenius Sines is considered aproject of national interest bythe Portuguese government.

In addition to its strategicimportance for Portugal, whencompleted, the project will helpincrease the supply of PTA acrossEurope, which presently importsabout 400,000 tons of the productfrom Asia each year. The new GEFrame 6B gas turbine has beendelivered to the Sines site, whichis south of Lisbon for 21010operation. Plans are to usenatural gas as the primary fuelsource and limit NOx emissions to

15 parts per million (at 15% O2).The GE Frame 6B is one of the

most widely used gas turbinesever manufactured. More than1,100 of these units are in serviceor on order worldwide and haveaccumulated more than 60 millionoperating hours in a wide rangeof applications.

In brief...Mitsubishi to supplysteam generators

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,Ltd. (MHI) and COMEXNUCLEAIRE are six monthsinto a project ordered byEDF (Electricite De FranceS.A.) to supply six replace-ment steam generators(RSG) for pressurized waterreactor (PWR) nuclearpower plants (NPP) inFrance. Their delivery willbegin in 2013 and be com-pleted in 2014. Within EDF,the project is managed bythe Generation NuclearEngineering Center (CIPN)at Marseilles.Indeed, EDF in line with itsNPP component renewalprogram is sequentiallyreplacing the existing steamgenerators (SG) at its PWRNPPs, which went intooperation in the 1980s. EDF,headquartered in Paris, isthe one of the world'slargest electricity suppliers,providing electricity toapproximately 38.5 millioncustomers in Europe. Thecompany operates 58 PWRs.MHI previously received itsfirst order from EDF for thesupply of six RSGs in 2005.The latest order thus bringsthe cumulative number ofunits ordered to MHI by EDFto twelve.

Utility solar power grew in 2008Utility scale solar installations

grew by about 25% last yearaccording to an annual surveyconducted by an industry tradeassociation. The Solar ElectricPower Association (SEPA) "2008 TopTen Utility Solar IntegrationRankings" report identified U.Sutilities that have the most signifi-cant amounts of solar electricityintegrated into their portfolio.

"This year's report demonstratesthat solar electricity is finally onthe radar screen of utilities acrossthe country," said Julia Hamm,executive director of the SolarElectric Power Association. "Solarplants large and small are readyfor significant build-out, and theutility industry is moving quicklytoward mass adoption to meet avariety of business needs."

Many utilities doubled theamount of solar power over theprevious year. Installed solarcapacity of the top ranked utilitiesgrew from 711 megawatts to 882megawatts. Renewable portfoliostandards, pending carbon policy,and the costs of power generationand fuel resources were cited asthe main reasons solar-generatedelectricity was seen as reasons to

adopt the technology.Historically, the solar power

market has been dominated bycustomer-driven installations, bututility installations are gaining anever larger share. The reportshowed that 88% of new annualgrowth was in the serviceterritories of the Top Ten utilities.The distribution of solar power isalso spreading geographically. Thereport shows that 2008 solar powergrowth came almost entirely fromthousands of distributed generationprojects. Ninety-two utilitiesparticipated in the survey, anincrease of more than 80% overlast year, reflecting increasedutility industry interest, SEPA said.

A new report out this monthsuggests that - even operating atjust a fifth of their full capacity -a global network of 2.5 megawattwind turbines would easily meetglobal electricity demands. Sowhy isn’t windpower consideredas the primary energy supplier?

The answer to this question -and others - will be featured atthe highly successful IndependentPower and Energy Europe (IP&EE)exhibition in 2010. Both IP&EEand Electrex will join forces in2010 for a major exhibition to beheld at the NEC in Birmingham,UK on 8-10 June 2010.

The organisers of Electrexawarded Global Media Publishing(GMP), the publishers ofWorldwide Independent Power(WIP), the responsibility oforganising both shows, includingthe sale of stands, arranging

sponsorship, advertising andvisitor registration.

At the last IP&EE in April 2008there were over 60 exhibitors atthe show, of which a third wereimpressed enough to book standsfor 2010. Around 10,000 visitorswere recorded at the combined exhibitions in 2008.

IP&EE is considered the majorindustry event which bringstogether the leading participantsin the independent power sectorto promote and supportindependent power technologies,ideas and products. The show isspecifically dedicated to theindependent/standby powerindustry. New products, cogentechniques and technology willfeature at this event.

IP&EE has been developed overthe last 10 years to meet theneeds of the growing number of

independent, private, distributedpower and energy usersthroughout Europe.

Electrex is the UK’s showcaseexhibition for the electricalindustry. Electrex 2008 is probablybest-known for featuring thelatest leading edge technologyand products, services andinnovations from the industry’smajor players andinc excellentseminar presentations.

Electrex has a long history,stretching back over 50 years, andis said to ‘exactly meet the needsof the electrical contractor’.

In brief...AMPS in full swing at Stapleford Park

Top Diary Dates for Energy Shows 2009- 2010

May 11th, 2009, saw the 2nd AMPS Golf Day held at the famousStapleford Park Country House Hotel and Golf Course inLeicestershire. The sun was out, the birds were chirping andAMPS members and guests were in full swing - literally - at one ofthe most popular events of the year.

Stapleford Park is one of England's finest stately homes and thecourse itself is situated in the heart of a Capability Brown land-scape, with ever-changing views of Stapleford's lakes and 500-acre park.

The course configuration is said to reflect the layout of some ofthe great links courses, such as the Old Course at St Andrews. Itprovides continuing variety in the direction of the holes, as wellas producing a series of stunning vistas to enjoy.

Altogether, 12 members of the Association of Manufacturers ofPower generating Systems (AMPS) rose to the challenge of thecourse and completed it in record time. Ironically, the 1st prize,the Amps Cup, was won by Darren Tasker, AMPs' own chairman.Richard Teasdale, the publisher of WIP for Global MediaPublishing, the corporate sponsors of the event, said: "Stapleford Park Course is a fantastic venue. Theatmosphere certainly gives it the feel of a truly major event. Our WIP team comprised a mixture of people,professionals from three companies, making the most of a uniqueopportunity to network within the industry."

Final scores1st Prize: Darren Tasker (Volvo) won the day with 34 points.2nd Prize: Danny Gallacher (Brad Containers)3rd Prize: Fay Taylor, Mecc Alte (UK) LtdRichard reported: "What was great about the AMPS Golf Day was

With the global economy still stuckunder the weight of a recessionand the credit crunch it would

not be surprising if all other economicconsiderations were politely ignored forthe time being. But up until the financialcollapse of 2008 the number one globalconcern had been the environment, andconsequently the word on everyone's lipswas 'sustainability'. What has happenedto this green ideal in the revealing light ofa recession?

Gordon Brown grabbed the 2009 budgetand recession as an opportunity for a'green route to economic recovery', forBrown the recession is clearly a chance toremould the UK economy into a moreenvironmentally sustainable one, all thewhile producing more 'green jobs'. So isthis a rare win-win situation for the nor-mally opposed ideologies of environmen-talism and business? 'Perhaps' is probablythe fairest answer.

On the one hand you have money andresources while one the other you havethe environmentalists’ ideal of limitinghuman impact on the naturalenvironment. 'Green jobs' fall somewherein between these two points and this iseither an opportunity or a curse. Is thisan opportunity for co-operation andprogress or for watered down initiativeswhich are acceptable to all but fail toaddress or solve the problem at hand?

An issue that exemplifies this conflictsuccinctly is that of 'Biofuels'. Of equalseriousness for those of a green oreconomic bent is the problem of energysupply and sustainability. Until theMillennium any mention of 'energy supply'was practically synonymous with 'oilsupply', and sustainability was concernedwith where to drill next.

Biofuels represent an attractivealternative to oil for many people.Getting energy from crops, the basicpremise of biofuel, is attractive to the

GAS TURBINES

The recent Centrax Trent 60 sale ispart of a Euro 100m contract placedby a major French utility. It is

reckoned to be cheap at the price too, forreliable systems designed to provideprimary power, standby power andcogeneration in the 200 MW range.

In total, four Trent 60 poweredgenerator sets, each producing 58MW ofelectrical power, have been ordered forthe French EPC project. As the directorof Centrax Gas Turbines, Guy West, putsit: "The Trent 60 generator set providesthe most advanced and efficient aero-derivative based power generation systemin the world. Delivering up to 58MW ofelectric power with simple cycleefficiency of 42%, the Trent 60 hasestablished a new benchmark for fuel-efficient gas turbine power."

Each Trent 60 package is supplied as twoprimary modules: gas turbine and ACgenerator modules with the mechanicalauxiliary systems and control systemsmounted on the baseplates.

The French connectionThe latest contract comes as no surprise

to industry analysts as the French haveincreasingly been seen to be thinking bigin recent years.

Back in 2008 a French utility orderedfour Trent 60 units from Centrax for a 200MW power station being developed at anew purpose-built facility in France.

Centrax now anticipates that by 2011energy from the new facility will bereaching the French grid.

transit capacity. The role of the newpower station is to stabilise the localpower grid and, as a corollary, enhancesourcing capacity. The engineering specs.suggest that the new plant will offerfeatures such as a cold start to full power(220MW) in under 10 minutes - a very faststart up capability.

Certainly, the plant's operating cycle,scheduled to run from November 1st toMarch 31st, plus 30 days during the rest ofthe year, indicated that the plant'savailability will be higher than 95 %.

"The aero-derivative gas turbine optionput forward by Centrax was selected onthe basis of its ability to achieve quick,frequent and reliable starts and itsestablished success in mid-meritoperation," comments Peter Ward,General Manager for Centrax GasTurbines.

Installed as indoor packages, two sets ofTrent 60 generators will be installed ineach turbine hall, and won't even be toonoisy. An improved acoustic specificationmeans that the generators achieve60dB(A) at the site boundary and42.5dB(A) at the nearest dwelling.

At the heart of the Trent 60 is Rolls-Royce's aeroderivative industrial gasturbine, based on the well-known RB211aero engine. In 2007 Centrax signed anagreement with Rolls-Royce to becomethe exclusive packager of the Trent 60generating set in Europe.

Standby & base-load duties Centrax Gas Turbines is a long-standing

British company which manufactures gasturbine driven generator sets in the 2.5MWe to 60.0 MWe range. To date morethan 280 Rolls-Royce powered Centraxgenerator sets have been sold worldwideand are used primarily for CHP andcogeneration applications in manyindustries including paper mills, chemicalsand manufacturing as well as in hospitalsand other critical areas for stand-by andbase-load duties.

Mainly natural gas fuelled, the turbinescan also operate on landfill gas and otherbiogases. Centrax generator sets nowhave a total experience of 16 millionoperating hours in countries around theworld.

As an EPC contractor Centrax tenders fortotal power station plant based on theTrent and, as a full packager, carries the

responsibility for selling and building Trentpackages. Guy West, a director ofCentrax, said: "We have had a long andsuccessful relationship with Rolls-Royceand have been involved with their 501 gasturbine for nearly thirty years. It hasproven to be an excellent engine in the2.5 to 6 MW class and we have been theleading 501 packager."

Major customers for Centrax GasTurbines include world-renownedcompanies such as IBM, British Petroleum,Ford, Heineken, Goodyear Tyres,GlaxoSmithKline and Pilkington Glass.

Centrax packages operate primarily onnatural gas but other fuels can be used asan alternative. The main application isproviding an energy source for combinedheat and power (CHP) systems.

In 2009 two Trent 60s were sold to aHungarian utility for mid-merit usage ingrid-balancing. The order came fromBKCE, a special-purpose company in whichthe state electricity company, MVM has amajority stake. The two outdoor sets areto be installed at Bakonyi Power Station inAjka, two hours west of Budapest.

The first Trent 60 gas turbine to beordered for service in South America wentto a power plant based at Colmito, nearValparaiso, Chile. The Chilean power

generator Hidroeléctrica La Higuera SAspecified a Trent 60 wet low emissionsdual fuel package, capable of providingup to 58 MWe at ISO conditions, toprovide secure power back-up to the LaHiguera hydro power plant during the dryseason.

Centrax 501 powered gensets alsoprovide heat and power on the fixedMexilhão offshore platform in the SantosBasin. More recently there have beencontracts placed in Burmuda, Ireland andthe UK.

Since it was founded in 1946, Centraxhas centred its business around the gasturbine engine. Centrax has alsodeveloped state-of-the-art machiningtechniques for gas turbine components.

Centrax Director Guy West concluded:"Efficiency and reliability are ofparamount importance in the energygenerating sector. Evan alternative energysources such as wind power needs thebackup power of a mid-merit system likethe Trent, because you can't always besure the wind is going to blow."

COGENERATION

It’s incredible to think that tallow fromrendered-down dead cows could beone of the major sustainable fuel

sources behind 18MW of ‘green energy’being produced by the Mouscron co-genfacility.

In terms of energy that’s enough tosupply the needs of 44,000 families andstill produce enough recoverable ‘waste’heat to sell to industry facilities in thevicinity - and warm up local swimmingpools too.

The other significant fact about theproject, say the operators, is theremarkable reliability and low wear ratesthe engines at Mouscron have achievedsince their installation in 2006.

When the plant was first commissionedthe concept of running engines on biofuelwas pretty much uncharted territory.

But with their broad insensitivity to fuelquality, Mouscron’s large medium speeddiesel engines, designed for heavy fueloils, seem to cope readily with carbon-dioxide neutral fuels such as plant oils,animal fats and various blends of wasteoils.

Typically, these are fuels which cancause considerable problems in high-speedengines with their more sensitive injec-tion systems. But thanks to large medium-speed diesel engines made by MAN Diesel,they have effectively become part of theglobal warming solution.

The technologyElectrawinds nv, headquartered in

Ostend, Belgium, is currently the largestprivate player on the Belgian market forrenewable energy. Initially a provider of‘green’ electricity, it began establishingwind energy projects, but soon began toinvest in other forms of renewable energy,

13MW and provides green energy forapproximately 35,000 families. Accordingto its operators this particular installationis able to reduce CO2 emissions by 66,000tonnes a year.

Engine specificationsElectrawinds’ Mouscron co-gen plant is

based around a 17.7 MW rated bio-fuelversion of MAN Diesel’s 18 cylinder, vee-configuration type 18V48/60 engine (108,5L/cyl. bore 480 x stroke 640 mm).It powers 18V48/60B generator sets which

have been designed to feed electricalpower to the local grid.

The 17.7 MW rated engine at the plantprovides outputs of 17.7 MW (electrical)and 14.0 MW (thermal) with an overallefficiency of 85% based on a biofuel madeup of various organic waste oils and fats.

This fuel requires heating and needs athree-stage fine filtration process.According to Electrawinds, 14 MW of ther-mal energy from its exhaust gases andcoolant are normally used for industrialprocesses at nearby cosmetics factory andfor heating a local swimming pool andleisure centre. Waste oils and fats aredelivered to the plant several times perweek and stored in a purpose-built tankfarm. There is a nearby rendering plantwhere the cows are brought in on a dailybasis.

“The viability of the Mouscron cogenplant is underpinned by the carbon diox-ide trading scheme operated by theBelgian Government,” explains companyspokesperson Marleen Vanhecke.

“Green certificates are earned for theuse of a CO2-neutral fuel and creditsaccrued at the regulatory body.”

She points out: “The supply of thermalenergy from the plant to the nearbyleisure centre ensures that the Mouscronplant qualifies as a high efficiency cogen-eration plant, which brings further finan-cial incentives.”

Three years ago MAN Diesel andElectrawinds co-operated closely in the

construction of the Mouscron plant, andthat relationship remains as firm today,with regular communciations betweenengineers and operators.

Amongst the biofuel power and co-gentechnology supplied by MAN Diesel isselective catalytic reduction equipment tocontrol emissions of oxides of nitrogen(NOx).

These SCR systems use urea as thereducing agent and incorporate a down-stream oxidation catalyst to eliminateammonia slip.

Plant Manager at Biomass Mouscron,Bruno Clemens, commented: “AtMouscron we can offer our customers theadvantage of producing electrical powerand heating resources through the use ofrenewable, biological fuel sources, suchas fats and oils. By using these fuels, cus-tomers avoid using finite, subterraneous,fossil-fuel resources, limit the GreenhouseEffect and reduce pollutant emissions.”

BENELUX REVIEW

Belgium, the Netherlands, andLuxembourg have always maintaineda dynamic approach towards

cogeneration. Their governments havesupported a recent EU Strategy for thefuture development of Combined Heatand Power (CHP) and District Heating andCooling (DHC) in Europe.

As a result they are hoping to reap thebenefits of achieving the 2020 renewableenergy targets. If they do this will lead toaround 2.8 million jobs in the renewableenergy sector and generate an additional1.1% to GDP.

Like all European Union (EU) memberstates, the Benelux nations must complywith new EU Directives to install newindustrial, commercial and residentialcogeneration systems which boost energyefficiency while reducing local fossil fuelconsumption and greenhouse gas emis-sions.

Ambitious targets have been set for thedevelopment of CHP (doubling the shareof cogenerated electricity from 9% todayto 18% in 2010) and the energy authoritieshave stressed the importance of liberalis-ing the energy markets on CHP/DHC, onthe need to keep prices stable in allsources of energy and on developing newtechnology.

biofuel for cogeneration motors. Thereare about 2,000 such installations up andrunning in Germany and Luxemburg allusing much the same approach.

The manure is transported from the sta-ble to a digester. In summer, whenmanure production is low because thecows are on the field, maize and wheatcan be added to the digester. A process ofbio-methanisation releases methane gas,which is captured in a plastic balloon ontop of the digester. In Redange, six ofthese digesters currently produce 565,000Nm3 biogas per year.

The biogas is transported via under-ground tubes to the cogeneration motorswhich can runs olely on biofuel or, in thecase of dual-fuel motors, can also burndiesel oil.

Electricity is supplied to the grid; andthe heat can be used as close to theinstallation as possible to limit loss ofenergy. The product left over in thedigester is a high-quality organic fertiliser,completely odourless and free of methane

emissions. Since the installation trans-forms the carbon bound up in methanemolecules into the much less harmfulCO2, its environmental impact is clearlypositive. However, the high cost of theinstallation is a major barrier to a morewidespread use of this approach.

The investment pay-back period for thiskind of installation works only in regionswhich grant cogeneration and green cer-tificates. A second barrier is that cattlefarms are usually located in remote areas,making it difficult to find a destinationclose to the farm for the cogenerationheat.

The current installation handles theRedange manure surplus and produces1,366 Mwh/year (supplied to the grid) and2,037 MWh/year in heat production.

The new project highlights the increasedemphasis on combined heat and power(CHP) amongst the Benelux nations asthey increase their focus on energyefficiency. In September 2008, two of GE's4MW, natural gas-fuelled J624 GS enginesbegan powering Royal Pride Holland's newgreenhouse cogeneration plant.

The substantial greenhouse facility islocated in Middenmeer, 50km north ofAmsterdam. The Jenbacher units wereinstalled as part of a pilot project todemonstrate the engine's commercialviability for the horticultural industry.

Kwekerij Baarenburg and Kwekerij deKabel represent the two growers whohave installed GE's Jenbacherstandardised greenhouse systems whichoffer cogeneration with CO2 fertilisation.Each has a J612 6F unit to optimiseenergy efficiency and crop production.

Kwekerij de Kabel is a member of theProminent Growers Association, a leadingNetherlands co-operative for tomatogrowers which has adopted GE's Jenbacher

CHP technology at a number of sites inrecent years. Cultivated roses areproduced in the Barrenburg greenhousewhile the de Kabel greenhouse, of course,specialises in tomatoes.

The operators of the Baarenburg andProminent Kabel greenhouses have alsosigned a full customer service contractwith GE for the two 6F CHP plants whichwill cover the units up to their first majoroverhaul, which will be needed at 60,000operating hours. The units featureelectrical efficiency ratings of 44.1% and44.8% respectively.

The plant is equipped with GE'sJenbacher cogeneration-CO2 fertilisationprocess which treats the engines' CO2-richexhaust, allowing the gas to be recycledin the greenhouse as a special fertiliser tohelp boost crop production instead ofventing into the atmosphere.

The cogeneration plant project has sofar allowed Royal Pride Holland to expandthe greenhouse to 102 hectares, up fromthe site's original 45-hectare surface area.

Belgium refineries Just 12 weeks ago ExxonMobil

inaugurated its newest high-efficiencycogeneration plant at its Antwerp refineryin Belgium. In addition to generating 125megawatts, the new plant will reduceBelgium's carbon-dioxide emissions byapproximately 200,000 tonnes per year,the equivalent of removing about 90,000cars from Europe's roads.

"Energy efficiency is one of the mosteffective tools available for reducinggreenhouse gas emissions," commentedSherman Glass, president of ExxonMobilRefining & Supply.

"Since 2004, ExxonMobil has invested inover 1,500 megawatts of cogenerationcapacity in five countries."

With the inauguration of the Antwerpfacility, ExxonMobil now has interests inabout 4,600 megawatts of cogenerationcapacity in about 100 individualinstallations at more than 30 sites aroundthe world. This is enough capacity tosupply the needs of more than 5 millionhomes in Europe.

"This new cogeneration plant allows forthe efficient generation of electricity torun pumps, compressors and otherequipment in our facilities, while at thesame time, producing additional steamthat is needed in processes that transformcrude oil into refined products," saidGilbert Asselman, manager of the Antwerprefinery.

"With the latest technology, cogenera-tion is significantly more efficient thantraditional methods of producing steamand power separately. This results inlower operating costs and significantlyless greenhouse gas emissions."

Additional new facilities underconstruction in Singapore and China willincrease ExxonMobil's cogenerationcapacity to more than 5,000 megawatts inthe next three years.

Antwerp's new cogeneration plant willbe capable of generating more than 125megawatts of electricity. Construction ofthe facility required over 1 million man-hours.

Antwerp's cogeneration facility is moreefficient than many traditional cogenera-tion plants because of its heat recoverysystem.

In addition to generating steam, thecogeneration facility utilises heat createdin the gas-turbine exhaust to heat crudeoil - the initial step in the process ofconverting crude oil into refined products.This alternative heat recovery technologyis what sets Antwerp apart from othercogeneration units.

GEN-SETS

While natural gas, renewablesources and solid fuels aregradually replacing oil in Italy's

electricity generation sectors, energyconsumption has been increasing fasterthan demand can be met. Industryremains the hungriest energy-consumingsector.

Renato Bruno feels that across Europegrid networks have suffered from a dis-tinct lack of investment. However, nega-tive fluctuations in Italy's energy suppliesseem to be the direct result of a lack ofinvestment in infrastructure formed in thewake of energy market liberalisation.

"There are 50 large companies in Italyusing our large-scale gen-sets. They pro-duce power for themselves and resell anyexcess production to the public grid,"Bruno explains.

"The fact is that Italy has a big energydeficit," he points out. "That's noexaggeration. Increasingly, individualfirms and households will produce electricpower themselves to cover their ownneeds while the public network becomesless and less reliable. The public networkmay even suffer occasional blackouts fromtime to time unless something is done toaddress this problem.

“This problem is not unique to Italy - itis happening across Europe.”

Buying-in energyBecause it is relatively poor in energyreserves, Italy currently buys electricityfrom abroad, from France and Germany. Ithas scarce oil or coal resources and onlylimited gas reserves which are decreasing.This has major ramifications for theindependent gen-set market as manufac-turers, utilities and private companieslook at alternative means of power gener-ation, he argues.

According to the IEA's demand forecasts,overall national energy consumption inItaly is set to increase by 1.7% per yearbetween 2002 and 2010, and by 0.5%between 2010 and 2020.

Many grid networks in Italy have reachedthe limit of their capacity and it's time for

the cogeneration and gen-set industries toplay a larger role in maintaining theinfrastructure, says Bruno.

He comments: "Italy buys power fromthe French net which is supplied byFrench nuclear reactors. Current thinkingis that Italy should re-establish its ownnuclear programme despite Green partyopposition. Italy does have big plans forrenewable energy sources - such as morewindfarms, biofuels, geothermal units andhydroelectric - but, like everything else,these will take time to implement."

After more than 30 years in thebusiness, Bruno Generators ofGrottaminarda, situated about 40kmsnorth of Naples, has produced more than170,000 gen-sets in a wide variety ofstyles and sizes.

All-in-all, that's enough to supply theyearly power needs of a metropolis likeLondon or New York.

"From a small artisan business we havegrown to become one of the Europeanleaders in the generating set industry,supplying more than 50 countries world-wide," he says.

"Our current supplier-partners includeHonda, Lombardini (a Kohler company),Perkins, Volvo Penta, John Deere, Deutzand Cummins."

Powerful earthquakes are a constantthreat in Italy, as it lies on top of twogeological faultlines. Invariably, tremorsaffect the power grid on a national basis.

In 1997 earthquake damage alone in

Central Italy was put at more thanUS$2bn. On two other occasions - Juneand September, 2003 - the country'selectricity grid completely failed, forcinghospitals, key government ministries, air-ports and factories to rely on emergencygenerator supplies.

What is the cause?Electricity company ENEL blamed theblackouts on hot weather and the factthat people had overloaded the system byusing air conditioners.

"This kind of problem is not unique toItaly. It is occurring all over Europe. It'sunfortunate that the habits of the averageEuropeans are contributing to a Europe-wide energy deficit," Renato points out.

"Once the month of August was well-known for its low energy consumption.Now it peaks in August due to the energydemands from widescale air conditioning,the use of big screen TVs and theincreasing influx of tourists from aroundthe world who come to Europe," he says.

"Because of this Europeans will faceincreasingly higher prices and muchgreater uncertainty in their future energysupplies."

Italy really needs independent powerRenato Bruno is the Director General for Bruno Generators, a major Italian producer of

power generators . He spoke to WIP about Italy's urgent need for effective gen-sets.

GEN-SETS

The need to cut greenhouse emissionsis driving the move to renewableenergy sources. Wind and solar

power are frequently touted as beingnatural alternatives to fuel-based elec-tricity generation, but both depend uponweather conditions. Reliable reservepower capability is, therefore, necessaryto ensure efficiency of supply.

Rising fossil fuel prices, decreasingsecurity of fuel supply as well as thedesire to limit greenhouse gas emissionsare reasons why the EU has decided tostimulate an increase in the use ofrenewable energy sources in Europe.

The European Commission has recentlydecided that Europe has to derive 20% ofits energy needs from renewable sourcesby the year 2020..

The bulk of the renewable energy willbe used for electricity generation andhigh hopes are put in wind power andphotovoltaics. However, electricity gener-ation based on wind power and solar radi-ation lacks the easy controllability ofpower output from fuel-based powergeneration, resulting in difficulties in

matching electricity production withdemand. Steam-based power plantstypically need a couple of hours for pre-heating before they can deliverelectricity. Their ramping-up capacity isabout 2 to 3% of their nominal power perminute. Power stations can also fail to

start up or trip at full load. That is why acontingency reserve is required, whichcan be spinning reserve (running and online) as well as standby reserve (non-spin-ning, but ready to come on line).

Reciprocating engines and aero-deriva-tive gas turbines have a fast ramping-up

rate than steam based power systems andare often used.

Electricity production from wind energyand photo voltaics depends on the localweather conditions and is largely notcontrollable (non-dispatchable). If thewind increases in strength, there is a highrisk that the wind turbines will suddenlyhave to cease operation while running atrated capacity, to avoid damage causedby overspeed. To cope with thesesituations, the network needs spinningcapacity that can instantaneously takeover the load from the wind turbines.Also, if the wind speed falls drasticallyover a wide area, much standby reservehas to be put on line. In both cases, thenetwork operator has to pay for theseservices, which can reduce the intrinsiceconomic value of the electricity fromrenewables down to almost nothing,therefore the real economic value of theelectricity produced depends on theextent to which the network operator canuse it to match demand.

The average wind speed at offshorelocations is normally higher than that atland-based sites, giving a high capacityfactor. indspeed levels can be low for asignificant part of the year, so powerplants based on fuels have to take over.

Without wind power that can freely feedinto the grid, nuclear and coal-basedpower plants normally cover base load

power generation, so that capacity factorsof up to 85% can be reached. Thestochastic character of wind energy makesit necessary to install additional dispatch-able and flexible back-up power plantsthat will run with a low utilisation factor.

Steam-based power plants lack the rapidload response needed for offering sub-stantial spinning reserve and back-upreserve as network services.

Nevertheless, they are an attractive wayof utilising the energy available in solidbiomass and waste.

Small-scale wood-based generators inthe power range 2-5 MW are often used inforest-rich countries such as Finland andSweden. In most cases, the most econom-ic way to use biomass is co-firing in coal-fuelled power stations.

Liquid biofuels based on rapeseed,jatropha and palm oil or animal fats caneasily be used with a high efficiency inreciprocating engines with a power capac-ity of up to 18 MW. The specific capitalinvestment in such decentralised installa-tions (€/kW) is about the same as forlarge-scale generators.

The small-scale character of theseinstallations means that electricity can beproduced close to the users so that theheat released can also be used (cogenera-tion), resulting in total fuel efficiencyexceeding 85%. The starting time of suchinstallations is less than 10 minutes so

that their output can serve as back-uppower in the electricity supply system.

Solar electricity may offer interestingoptions in the future to tap the energyinflux from the sun. At present, however,the specific investment cost as well as theamount of energy needed to produce thephotovoltaic elements are far too high.

Power plants consisting of generatorsdriven by reciprocating engines can havea simple-cycle electrical efficiency of upto 45%, can ramp up to full power in twominutes (ramp rate 50 % per minute) andstart from standstill to full load within 10minutes.

Such units also have the advantage of aquite flat efficiency curve in the upperload range, which is attractive foroffering spinning reserve. Power stationsbased on reciprocating engines havemultiple units which run in parallel. Thatguarantees high reliability and availability.

By using engines with a unit powercapacity ranging between 5 MW and 18MW, the size of such power stations caneasily match the output of windpowerparks.

The power stations can be built atsuitable locations, preferably close toheat users for cogeneration. Generatingunits at different locations can even becombined into virtual power plants.

MAINTENANCE

Today DONG Energy's HerningværketCHP plant is the largest biomassplant in Denmark but it wasn't

always that way. A regular program ofmaintenance and overhaul has changed italmost beyond recognition.

Built in 1982 to burn coal, it wasconverted to accept gas in 2000, and thento accept woodchips in 2002, at a totalcost of £32m (275 million DKK).

Less than eight months ago Low-NOxburners were installed to complete thenext stage of the upgrade.

In July Burmeister & Wain Energy A/S(BWE) is converting the plant’s boiler sys-tem into one fed by pulverised biomass(wood pellets). The work involvesupgrading the burners and installing newfuel piping and modifications to theprimary and secondary air systems.

Trucking in biomassThe completion of this project during

the Summer outage period means theplant will be able to produce a total of240 MW from biomass.

Electricity, just one third of its energyproduction, provides around 30% of theplant's income. The plant's fuel is 55%woodchips (200,000 tonnes/year from firtrees), shipped in by 80 trucks per day.The wood chips are used as the base load,

Maintenance & repair:Good news when the chips are downThe Herningværket CHP plant is a classic example of how a multifuel installation can

with regulation provided by gas (42million m3/year, from the state-ownedsupplier DONG), burning at approximately1,500 °C leaving 1.5-2% of the mass asash. The plant also feeds a 35 km longDistrict Heating system, with waterleaving at 85-90°C and returning at 40-45°C. The transmission pipes typicallyhave 30cm of insulation, losing just 3% ofheat.

In 2002 BWE was engaged to install a

bio-grate firing system at the plant allow-ing wood chips to be used as a fuel forthe first time. In the major retrofit themain components comprised a newpressure part design for the base of thefurnace, a vibration stoker grate, abooster for the secondary air system forthe over-grate, combustion air, plus anextension of the C&I system.

The new burners can now fire NG, HFOand dust from biomass (wood pellets)reducing the CO emission of the plant by325,000 tons/year compared to 100% coalfiring.

Not only does it help the environmentbut it keeps the cost of manufacturingCHP power down too.

A win-win situation?

TRAINING

Industry's first training course specificto high speed diesel generator technol-ogy - and one which has been fully

endorsed by the UK-based Institution ofEngineering and Technology (IET) - hasbeen developed by Cummins PowerGeneration.

This two-day Power Training course, heldat Cummins’ European headquarters inRamsgate, Kent, UK, is aimed at thoseinvolved in specifying and designing dieselgenerator systems.

It provides engineers with an essentialunderstanding of the mechanical andelectrical aspects of installation.

Covering fundamentals of installation,controls, generator ratings, exhaustemissions and sound attenuation, as wellas ISO application model expertise ingenerator set sizing, the information isdelivered through a mix of classroompresentations, hands-on productdemonstrations, a plant tour of the300,000 sq.ft. facility, and an opendiscussion forum.

Delegates have the opportunity toexpand their understanding of dieselgenerators and learn how to avoidcommon pitfalls of the specifying process.

Information is delivered directly byexperts in the field. The courseinstructors each draw on decades ofapplication and installation experiencewith diesel generator systems.

Andy Underwood, General Manager,Cummins Power Generation Europe says:"Engineers are not experts in terms ofdiesel generator technology - it's a smallpart of their job - but if they are notarmed with an understanding whenspecifying diesel standby systems, it canresult in wasted time and money.

“By learning from the experts, thecourse arms them with the knowledgethey need to provide smart solutions,shorter quoting times and reducedspecifying times."

Training: diesel generator technologyA high speed diesel generator technology course has been developed by Cummins - and

it’s already been endorsed by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Power Training runs four times a yearand covers all aspects of specifyingsolutions from standard to non-standardapplications. For standard applications,the delegates are shown the benefits ofusing standard fully integrated and pre-integrated products such asPowerCommand® as a cost-effectivesolution, says Cummins.

Products like this one are ‘beneficial tothe end user in terms of saving time,labour and money, as well as reducingspace requirements of added equipmentand reducing installation costs’, reportsthe company.

What the course offersThe course is designed so the

information the experts deliver is not onlypresented from the point of view ofCummins Power Generation generatorsbut is also easy to generalise to othermanufacturer's products.

“Delegates have provided positive feed-back after completing the course with thevast majority of participants saying thecontent is extremely appropriate,” saysAndy Underwood.

One recent attendee, David Campbell, aMechanical and Electrical Engineer Grade1 in the Office of Public Works (OPW) atDublin, wanted to gain a greaterawareness of the latest generatorproducts and specifications as the OPWwas at that time modernising its standardgenerator specification.

David reports: "The most importantelements of the course for me were ingaining awareness of modern generatorpower control modules, such as theCummins PowerCommand®, also Europeanemissions regulations, familiarisation withISO 8528 standard requirements and howmanufacturers such as Cummins go aboutinterpreting customer requirements."

On his return to OPW David was able tobrief his peers on information gained from

the course. He adds: "I passed aroundmaterials supplied on the course, such ashandbooks, design manuals and slides.They were really well-received."

Andy Underwood adds: "Past attendeeshave used the training to review existingsystems designs and make improvementsfor future projects. It has enabled themto provide better advice and solutions tocustomers and improve the way projectsare installed, completed and maintained."

Further Power Training course dates arenow planned for:

* 6th - 7th July, * 14th - 15th of September and * 7th - 8th December, 2009.

GAS ENGINES

Said to offer intrinsically cleancombustion with high fuelefficiencies and hence low emissions

of carbon-dioxide, the latest generationof gasl engine is the 51/60G which, likeits 51/60DF dual fuel stablemate, isderived from a robust, well proven type48/60 diesel engine platform.

The new engine uses a distillate fuelpilot injection system to achieve reliable,stable ignition of lean air:gas mixtures ina large bore, open combustion chamber.This enables the new gas engine toachieve one of the highest powerdensities in the four stroke gas enginefield as well as low emissions of oxides ofnitrogen (NOx) and high fuel efficiency.

This choice of gas ignition technologyalso alleviates one of the mainweaknesses of spark ignited gas enginesi.e. the relatively short exchange intervalsof even the best spark plugs. By contrast,the liquid fuel pilot ignition system of the51/60G gas engine exhibits theconsiderably longer service intervalstypical of diesel engine fuel injectionequipment. Other advantages include lowgas admission pressures, high and stableratings in hot and high power plant

locations and excellent load impositionand load-following characteristics.

Dr. Stephan Mey, head of MAN Diesel'sAugsburg-based Power Plant business unit,commented: "With the 51/60G we areaiming to bring the typical virtues of gasengines to power and co-generation plantswith electrical outputs in the range 100 to300 MW.”
