Equations and opinions
Dr. Jacob Klimstra

magazine such as Cogeneration & On-Site Power Production (COSPP) is supposed to have value. That means it should serve you, its readers, with useful content. Value can originate from the pleasure of reading interesting stories, from information on products and suppliers, and from useful knowledge about local power generators. However, business life is so hectic these days and so much information is offered constantly, that a tendency exists to skip all ‘nice to know’ information and to concentrate only on ‘need to know’ information. The big question always is, what is nice and what is needed? I remember the time as a young engineer, I tried to read almost any magazine and book on engineering that I could get my hands on. I hoped all that information would help me fnd the right answers, and even the right questions. I had and still have a very high esteem for people who have the skill to write an article. But it often took a lot of effort to understand the content and the associated value of the articles. Only when I started to carry out my own technical research did the situation change. It is very peculiar, but when you are urgently looking for an answer, digesting literature can happen quickly. It appears that the brain can automatically select what is needed and ignore what can be skipped. Nevertheless, the

relationships between quantities. If the author has explained what the background of the equation is and how it can be used, preferably with a diagram illustrating the relationship, it can be an eye opener. Equations can, for example, help you to calculate the fnancial benefts of on-site power generation. Physical relationships can also tell you why electricity supply systems beneft from local generation. Therefore, dear prospective authors, please do not hesitate to insert helpful equations in your articles. Good articles are more than an opinion: good articles explain and teach. Why am I writing this? It is partly a result of being happy with a magazine dedicated to distributed generation-related subjects, but also partly due to some irritation. During recent discussions with policy makers in Brussels on the benefts of local generation, they told me that what I said was nothing more than an opinion. In order to get support for my opinion, I had to show them that a large proportion of the population supported me. When I tried to explain that my reasoning was based on scientifcally-proven facts, they still answered: ‘That is only your opinion’. One sees the same thing happening in discussion groups on Linked-In and other social media. Solid knowledge is replaced by feelings and opinions. Fortunately, we have this magazine, in which we can exchange valuable information and help to provide
right literature has to exist, and COSPP has and will play an important role in this. The big question now is, what should a good article for COSPP look like. Recently, a friendly and helpful experienced engineer told me that using ‘formulas’ in an article would immediately turn off the bulk of modern readers. Many people are apparently allergic to mathematics. And yes, I agree with him: a ‘formula’ by itself is like a magic sentence, a charm, but can lead to irritations.A good article is therefore not based on ‘formulas’. However, good articles can feature technical equations that illustrate
useful knowledge for further expansion and optimization of cogeneration and on-site power production.

UK’S FIRST CARBON NEUTRAL LABORATORY ANNOUNCED The UK’s frst carbon neutral laboratory is to be built at the University of Nottingham in England and is set to cost around $24m. A project team including contractor Morgan Sindall and project manager Gleeds will start construction of the 4500 sq m facility this autumn and
the laboratory is to powered by renewable sources including solar power and sustainable biomass. The GlaxoSmithKline Carbon Neutral Laboratory of Sustainable Chemistry will provide chemistry laboratory facilities for 100 researchers and is being part-funded by GlaxoSmith-
Kline. It is expected that the laboratory will become carbon neutral after 25 years of operation. The university claims that excess energy created by the building will provide enough carbon credits over 25 years to pay back the carbon used in its construction.
GE IN INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP IN VANCOUVER GE, Nexterra and the University of British Columbia (UBC) have combined to produce the frst renewable waste combined heat and power system in North America. The system involves taking wood fuel and converting it to synthetic gas, which is burned to produce heat. GE asked Nexterra to produce a syngas that burns cleanly enough to fuel its Jenbacher higheffciency internal combustion engines, and that is the core
proprietary gasifcation and syngas conditioning process with the Jenbacher creates a system capable of producing both heat and electricity. Nexterra spent four years at its facility in Kamloops developing a way to crack tars from syngas. After more than 5000 hours of successful smallscale trials, GE and Nexterra approached UBC to host a larger demonstration project. Dubbed the Bioenergy Research and Demonstration
campus. Fuelled by renewable syngas, the Jenbacher can generate 2 MW of electricity and 3 MW of thermal energy, enough to displace up to 12% of UBC’s natural gas consumption.

Report urges utilities to invest in CHP technology A research report by the American Council for an Energy Effcient Economy states that utilities could reap substantial benefts by investing in and encouraging new combined heat and power systems. It says the major benefts CHP offers to utilities include cost-effectiveness, fast deployment, and loss avoidance and reduced strain on transmission and distribution systems. The report states that policy and regulatory changes that would allow or encourage utilities to take advantage of these benefts include establishing an energy effciency resource standard or other portfolio standard that prioritizes CHP as a critical resource, and allowing utilities to earn cost recovery and economic returns on investments in CHP, as allowed for other generation resources. The report also advises encouragement of utilities to offer dedicated CHP programmes within overall energy effciency programming, and offering performance incentives for exceptional effciency results.

JAPANESE-SAUDI CONSORTIUM TO BUILD COGEN PLANTS As part of the drive for greater energy effciency, Saudi Aramco has signed three new energy conversion agreements with a JapaneseSaudi consortium to build and operate cogeneration power plants in the kingdom. The agreements for the cogeneration plants were signed with Marubeni Corp. and JGC Corp. of Japan and Saudi Aljomaih Energy & Water Co. The plants will generate
a total of 900 MW of power and 1500 tonnes of steam per hour when they commence operation in 2016 at the company’s facilities at Abqaiq, Hawiya and Ras Tanura (pictured right). Aramco did not disclose the value of the deals but said it would hold a 50% stake in the plants, which will have a thermal effciency of more than 80%, compared with conventional generation thermal effciency of 40-50%.

EVENT CALLS FOR CHP POLICY PUSH The 2013 DOE Western Regional Dialogue Meeting on Industrial Energy Effciency and Combined Heat and Power will take place in Salt Lake City, in the US, on October 29. This one-day dialogue meeting will focus on the potential for increased industrial energy effciency in the region. It will also push for successful industrial and CHP policy approaches, innovative policy options, and opportunities to work together to achieve the
many benefts of industrial energy effciency and CHP. The meeting builds on the August 30, 2012, Executive Order: Accelerating Investment in Industrial Energy Effciency, which sets a goal of 40 GW of new, cost-effective industrial CHP in the US by 2020. It also calls for developing and implementing state best practice policies and investment models that address the multiple barriers to industrial energy effciency and CHP.
WINNING BIDDER ANNOUNCED FOR DUBAI DISTRICT COOLING PLANT Trans Gulf has emerged from a rigorous process to win the contract to develop Empower’s new district cooling (DC) plant at the Business Bay complex (pictured) in Dubai, UAE. Construction Weekly reports senior vice-president of projects at the company, S.G. Thiyagarajan, as saying that the process was “very tough”. Trans Gulf was chosen ahead of several major MEP contractors as its experience in developing other local DC plants proving vital to securing the $42m contract. Trans Gulf’s experience in district cooling plants includes the operation and maintenance of Business

The project will involve the construction of one building with a built-up area of almost 9,500m² and will have a total capacity of 43,750 refrigeration tonnes (RT). The facility will be the frst district cooling plant in the region to be built in line with “green building” principles, and to follow the guidelines of treated sewage effuent and thermal energy storage. The project is expected to be completed in mid-2014.
EUROPEAN BANK SEEKS TO PROMOTE EFFICIENCY WITH $857M BOND The European Investment Bank (EIB) has issued the largest ever climate bond in the European Union. The $857m (€650m) funds from the Climate Awareness Bond are earmarked for projects within the felds of renewable energy and energy effciency. These include wind, hydropower, wave, tidal, solar and geothermal projects and effciency schemes such as district heating, cogeneration, building insulation, energy loss reduction in transmission and distribution, and equipment replacement with signifcant energy effciency
improvements. The bank said the bond generated strong demand among a series of investors genuinely interested in the socially responsible features of the transaction, adding new investors to EIB’s distribution, particularly in the Benelux, Germany and France, which accounted for around 80% of fnal allocations. Asset managers, insurance companies and pension funds provided more than half of distribution by investor type.

structure of the tower, when the last beam was placed on top of the 632-metre (2073-foot) building designed by global design and architecture frm Gensler. Wind turbines located directly beneath the parapet generate on-site power for the upper foors of the building, with a 2130kW natural gas-fred cogeneration system on site providing electricity and heat energy to the lower foors. Meanwhile, the tower’s outer skin insulates the building, reducing energy use for heating and cooling. The tower’s spiralling parapet collects rainwater, which is used for the tower’s heating and air conditioning systems. Overall, the $2.2bn Shanghai Tower’s sustainable strategies will reduce the building’s carbon footprint by 34 000 metric tonnes per year.
MANHATTAN’S LARGEST HOTEL COMPLETES COGEN INSTALLATION The New York Hilton has completed a new green roof system and installed a cogeneration system, both designed to reduce the hotel’s overall carbon footprint. The 16 000-square-foot green roof system was installed by Xero Flor America and is located on the hotel’s ffth foor rooftop setback on the building’s West 53rd Street side.

DATE SET FOR NIPPON BIOMASS PLANT TO GO OPERATIONAL Nippon Paper Industries USA’s expanded biomass cogeneration plant is fnally set to go online in October in Washington State. The plant will create steam to make paper and generate 20 MW of electricity for the mill and for sale. That includes hydraulic equipment, valves, fuel lines and a snakelike mass of external piping that carries
water, steam and air between the boiler and the mill. Main components include a 30-foot cooling tower, 110-foot boiler and a 115-foot coneshaped wood-waste-fuel silo. Also being tested is a “truck dump” that lifts vehicles flled with biomass high in the air — tractor, trailer and all — and dumps the wood waste out the back. The project has survived
appeals before the state Shoreline Hearings Board and Thurston County Superior Court that began before construction commenced in June 2011. Opponents have been concerned about air pollution, though the company has maintained — and the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency has agreed — that Nippon has fulflled all state and federal pollution-control laws.
The cost of the new plant originally was estimated at $71m but it rose to $85m due to higher-than-expected costs for the cooling tower and redesign of the fuel silo and foundation.
FORTUM INAUGURATES LATVIA’S LARGEST BIOMASS PLANT

Fortum has inaugurated the largest biomass combined heat and power plant in Latvia. The plant is located in Jelgava and will generate an electrical capacity of 23 MW and heat capacity 45 MW. The inauguration ceremony will be attended by the Presidents of both Latvia and Finland, and the Ambassador of Finland to Latvia. The plant is to use wood chips as fuel and will provide up to 85% of Jelgava’s district heating capacity. Meanwhile, French engineering giant Alstom is to supply fue gas cleaning and a heat recovery system at the new $158m Tekniska Verkin waste-to-energy cogeneration plant in Sweden.

by the state-owned waste management and biogas producer in the city of Linköping, Sweden and is set to generate 80MW of power. Alstom’s fue gas cleaning system is being used to achieve EU level emissions. The system includes an Alstom NID semi-dry cleaning step that injects lime and activated carbon to clean fue gas. The fue gas then goes through a scrubber to remove more emissions and recover heat. The other suppliers on the new power plant are Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani, which will supply the turbine, and German Fisia Babcock Environment, supplying the boiler. The new plant is to be ready for commissioning in 2016.

US PLASTIC MANUFACTURER TORAY TO UTILISE CHP AT CAMPUS Rhode Island-based Toray Plastics in the US is to build a $22.7m cogen system at its Kingstown campus (pictured). Toray is keen to avoid the damage caused by disruptive weather events and associated power outages. Toray already operates a cogeneration system that supplies continuous power to its Lumirror polyester flm division, which sustains
manufacturing production even during severe weather events and enables the frm to provide uninterrupted customer service. The new system is expected to be operational by March next year. It will be dedicated to powering production on-site for the Torayfan polypropylene flm division and other sites around the property. The company’s decision

ASEAN’s decentralized energy sector
A
‘launch and learn’ strategy is not the kind Chip Bottone favours when he participates in an energy project in a new country. The CEO of US-based FuelCell Energy would rather understand the market before venturing into untried territory. He would prefer ‘learn and launch’. But he knew this would be impossible in Indonesia, a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). These countries – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – can be the land of both opportunity and frustration for international decentralized energy companies. Doing business here often requires a pioneering spirit and a measure of patience. So what drew Bottone to Indonesia? ‘What we saw in Indonesia was a fairly big population – 150 million people. They had inadequate infrastructure in terms of electricity. They had a growing middle class. They did have natural resources’, he says. But Bottone adds, “They also had lot of things that are not helpful, like corruption and disorganization.” With long-time South Korean partner POSCO Energy, FuelCell Energy launched its Indonesia project in 2011, as the frst commercial stationary fuel cell power plant in Southeast Asia outside of South Korea. The partners chose a highly visible location to create a showcase project that would capture attention – Ancol Dreamland, a waterpark resort and major tourist destination in Jakarta. Two years later the 300 kW combined heat and power (CHP) plant is still not in operation, at the time of the writing of this article, but is in

the fnal construction phase. Bottone estimates the same project would take six to nine months to complete in the US. Still the partners accomplished their goal: ‘It was meant to demonstrate how to interconnect to the grid, what the economics are, what all the approval processes are, what all the permitting processes are – because they don’t have established policy as other more developed countries have’, he says. Welcome to the ASEAN countries – where the potential for decentralized energy is vast but not easy to capture because of bureaucracy, lack of clear rules, and sometimes a dearth of infrastructure and skilled workers.
Growing demand and blackouts Decentralized energy or distributed generation, particularly from clean energy, remains a nascent undertaking in much of the region. ‘On-site generation or distributed generation is not commonly implemented in ASEAN member countries, which still focus on centralized generation’, says Beni Suryadi, energy policy analyst at the ASEAN Centre for Energy. But there is no question that the region could beneft from more on-site power. Anywhere there are transmission and distribution grid inadequacies market opportunities for distributed generation open up. And the ASEAN countries have their share of grid inadequacies. Consider, for example, May 2013. Forty per cent of Luzon Island in the Philippines lost power, including metropolitan Manila, because of power plant failures. Thailand experienced its largest blackout on record in its 14
Distributed generation is not commonly implemented in ASEAN member countries, which still focus on centralized generation. But there is no question that the region could beneft from more on-site power southern provinces following a lightning strike, and Vietnam saw a 10-hour blackout in 22 provinces, including Ho Chi Minh City because of damage to a transmission line, according to press reports. Such events are not unusual because the countries have not updated or expanded their power infrastructure quickly enough. The result is ‘a tremendous amount of brownouts and blackouts and tremendous loss of quality of power,’ says Sridhar Samudrala, an assistant professor at SUNY Delhi USA and president & CEO of International Energy Consulting Co. Meanwhile, the population and economies are expanding and demanding more energy; some areas are becoming electrifed for the frst time. ASEAN is the fourth most populated block in the world – behind China, India and the European Union. Its middle class is growing, and expected to become 65% of the total population by 2030, up from only 24% in 2010, according to a report by Dubai-based investment frm, the Abraaj Group, which invests in emerging economies. Further, the report says, its population is young and will increasingly demand more consumer goods. The region already has healthy growth in gross domestic product: 5.7% for 2012 and a predicted 5.5% for 2013, according to the International Monetary Fund.
All of these changes and growth require more electrifcation. And in some areas, demand is dramatically outstripping supply. For example, in Myanmar about 75% of the population is still without access to electricity, and the government says that supply is only about half of projected demand, according to a report Electricity in Myanmar: The Missing Prerequisite for Development, by the Harvard Kennedy School Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation and the Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia. So with blackouts rampant and central grids slow to improve, it is no surprise that decentralized energy is growing at what Samudrala described as an ‘exponential’ pace. ‘The current grid is unable to expand at the level of growth in the ASEAN countries and therefore the industrial, commercial, and residential customers are opting for smallscale generation and creating mini grids’, he says.
Coal use to grow Electric reliability is one reason for the ASEAN countries to pursue advanced distributed generation; environmental concerns are another. Fossil fuels account for 74% of the region’s generation, and about 22% comes from combustible biomass and waste that is ineffcient and environmentally unsustainable,

according to research by Melissa Low, energy analyst at the National University of Singapore’s Energy Studies Institute. Demand for coal has grown fastest over the last decade in Malaysia. Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam also are large coal consumers, according to the US Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) International Outlook 2013. The coming years are expected to bring even more use of coal in the ASEAN countries, even as developed nations like the US begin to curb its use. The EIA forecasts an annual increase in coal consumption of 2.4%. Several new, large coal-fred plants, of at least 1 GW, are coming on line, particularly in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. In

While diesel can be expensive, it is also important to the region because it can mean the difference in ASEAN countries between power or no power, and brings signifcant changes in quality of life and business operations, particularly in remote outposts. For countries like Myanmar and Cambodia and remote Indonesia ‘this option is still on the table’, Suryadi says. He adds that great effort is being made to install renewable energy as a substitute, but capital costs and lack of infrastructure remain as barriers. In a case study, MTU Onsite Energy describes better
Indeed, several of the countries have set renewable energy goals. Thailand, which has the most advanced energy infrastructure in the region, recently announced a new renewable energy goal to build 3000 MW of solar by 2021. The country expects feed-in tariffs (FITs) for distributed solar to spur about 1000 MW of new development. The FIT is designed to attract 200 MW of rooftop solar by the end of this year and 800 MW of community ground-mounted solar by the end of 2014. Thailand has a goal to expand its renewable energy from 6.3 GW in 2011 to 20.5 GW, so that renewables make up 29% of total generating capacity by 2030. Hydroelectricity now accounts for about 5% of generation, and non-hydroelectric renewables (mostly biomass and biogas) 2%, according to the EIA.
Vietnam alone, 36 GW of coalfred generation is expected to be installed by 2020 and 76 GW by 2030. Another fossil fuel important to the region is diesel. The region relies on diesel generators to overcome its reliability problems. However, this option can be expensive. For example, in Myanmar diesel prices were about $1/litre in early 2012, which is the equivalent of $0.30 to

Thailand is the furthest along among the ASEAN when it comes to introducing on-site generation, according to Suryadi.

Under the programmes, the state-owned Electricity Generation Authority of

Wärtsilä 28SG generating sets. This article looks at how Skagen Varmeværk manages this plant’s operations in a modern liberalized Danish energy market.
Danish district heating The very frst district heating system in Denmark was established in the city of Frederiksberg in the early 1900s. This lead was gradually followed by other cities across the country, and today Denmark has more than 500 district heating plants. More than half of Denmark’s energy consumption for residential heating is generated by those district heating plants, including Skagen Varmeværk. All Danish district heating plants are governed by a district heating law that refects the present energy policy of the Danish parliament. These regulations offer incentives for energy effciency and, rather importantly, ensure that the Treasury Department collects all the agreed energy taxes. The law also states that district heating companies are not allowed to proft from heat deliveries to its members. Skagen Varmeværk began operations in 1964 with 535 co-operative society members. The district heat was generated by a boiler plant able to operate on fossil and bio-oils. In 1979, by which time the number of consumers had grown to 1050, the municipality of Skagen commissioned a waste incineration plant that was connected to the district heating system. Fiskernes Fiskeindustri, a private company, started the delivery of waste process heat to the district heating system in 1982. Skagen Varmeværk was connected to the national gas grid system in 1988, where a new boiler station, operating on natural gas
www.cospp.com
Denmark is acknowledged as being a frontrunner in forming its own energy laws, and at an early stage adopted very liberalized rules and regulations for its energy industry
was commissioned. Precisely ten years later it was time to commission the fully automatic combined heat and power station. The plant was designed for automatic mode, enabling unattended operation outside normal working hours, when the command for starting and stopping the plant is shifted to the dispatch centre.
Skagen Varmeværk The company is responsible for supplying district heating to the town of Skagen, the most northern town in Jutland. In winter, its 8400 inhabitants enjoy a quiet life with little traffc and few crowds. However, in the summertime it is transformed into a very crowded, and popular place. This ability to adapt to the rapid changes in the surrounding environment seems also to have become part of Skagen Varmeværk’s business philosophy. The CHP plant is equipped with effcient heat recovery that reaches a total effciency that exceeds 90%. Even though the plant is 15 years
old, its performance remains very good compared to other modern power plants. The engines were upgraded a few years ago to achieve a higher output and improve performance. The plant not only produces heat for the city and power for the distribution system operator, but also actively participates in the Danish electricity regulating and primary reserve/frequency balancing markets. To handle these simultaneous production requirements effectively, highly fexible operation, short start-up and shutdown capability, as well as operator alertness, are essential. The plant is, therefore, equipped with: hot water boilers operating on
natural gas and prepared for the possible use of bio-oils and fuel oils; an electrical hot water boiler operating in parallel with the gas engines; and of course with heat storage or an accumulator. All these units allow very fexible and environmentally-sustainable production. In addition to its own production, a municipal waste incineration plant and a nearby industry are delivering heat to the common Skagen district heating network. The waste incineration plant is run as a baseload plant and provides stable year-round heat production. The heat from the industrial plant is delivered on a more occasional basis, refecting the industry’s own schedules and working hours.

Skagen Varmeværk maintains its plant in good condition and constantly develops its operations to be more effcient. Danes in general are very energy conscious and strive always to utilize the full energy content of the primary fuel for production. There are even governmental rules on how to continuously improve CHP plant operations, as well as for how consumers can save energy. Recent investments in the Skagen plant include new absorption chillers
on the power markets. The bigger heat storage capacity between the heat production and the district heating network naturally adds more operational freedom.
Like all district heating companies, Skagen Varmeværk delivers heat according to the demand at the lowest possible cost. The required heat production, therefore, provides the framework within which electricity can be produced, for participating in the regulating and primary reserve markets. Thus, production planning demands a good knowledge
balancing markets. Depending on the balance between these two electricity markets, the running strategy is somewhat different and involves co-operation with the dispatch centre for the area and the other power producers. The predicted heat consumption is fexibly managed through the heat accumulators, and provides the framework as to how the gas engines could or should be run. The varying daily spot prices on the regulating and reserve markets have, of course, an impact on the running philosophy, and the goal is always to produce electricity when the spot prices
If it is not worthwhile to run the engines, the corresponding heat can be produced by the gas boiler or even with the electrical boiler, provided that the electricity spot prices and the electrical network balances are favourable. The 11 MWe electrical boiler is designed to have a large operating window, and can in that way also participate in the electricity markets as a load. The excess electricity from the renewable energy production can, therefore, also be dumped into the electrical boiler and further into the heat accumulator. Electricity production is of course closely coordinated together with the electricity operator for the
installed after the exhaust gas economizers. These squeeze out even more heat from the gas engine exhaust gases to gain total plant effciencies reaching greater than 100%, calculated on the lower heating value. Furthermore, the heat storage capacity has been drastically increased by an additional heat accumulator of 350 MWhth to achieve even greater fexibility for the plant
of the plant’s capabilities, as well as good forecasting of market behaviour. All the above mentioned production units are jointly utilized in an optimal way, based upon their specifc operational characteristics and upon market conditions and fuctuations. The plant operates very much on the day-ahead estimates of the heat demand, and the regulating and frequency
are high. When operating in these two electricity markets, the gas engine characteristics prove to be highly valuable.The primary reserve market demands fast starts and stops, and the engines can cope with that. In the regulating market, the engines are run at about 70–80% load, where again the gas engines’ high and constant part load effciency is invaluable.

The EED is expected to recognize that the anticipated strong growth of renewable power creates a need to also include high-effciency cogeneration plants in grid stability management, and in the electrical ancillary service market. Unnecessary obstacles for accessing the grid and the ancillary service market should be removed by the member states. Cogeneration and CHP in plants with fexible running patterns by necessity demand
can be slightly increased in cogeneration plants because of the possibility of using the stored heat for preheating engines on standby. The EED is now going forward within the EU, and will fnally be approved in the EU Parliament. After this approval the EED goes for implementation by the EU Member States. The member states are then to incorporate the EED into their own laws and regulations.

Advanced thinking Skagen Varmeværk also has
Cogeneration & On–Site Power Production | September-October 2013
recently invested in a new, very modern offce building, which naturally includes a sophisticated HVAC system. The ground beneath the plant and offce is somewhat special and can be utilized via heat pumps for both the heating and cooling of buildings, and this characteristic is used for the new offce building as well. During the winter period and cold season, the heat in the ground is ‘pumped up’ for heating the building. This of course cools down the ground and soil, which can then be utilized for cooling down these facilities during the summer. During the hot season, when the soil becomes heated it can then be used for the coming autumn and winter. The soil therefore acts as a small heat storage system. Denmark has realized that energy is a big consideration for industry as a whole, and for all its various activities. This attitude and mature energy thinking should therefore be implemented everywhere. Smarter power generation, combined with district heating solution, is undoubtedly a sensible choice for the future.

Bright future for IGT services & maintenance sector
Stable growth is predicted for the global power plant services and maintenance market over the coming years. Dr. Heather Johnstone fnds out if this is refected in the services and maintenance market serving the decentralized energy market, in particular the industrial gas turbine (IGT).
T
‘he services and maintenance sector serving all forms of power generation in Western Europe is expected to generate yearly revenues that top $2.8 billion in 2018; up 14% on 2011 revenues, and thereby representing a stable rate of growth over the next fve years. This was the main fnding of research conducted by Frost &
28
Sullivan, a market analyst company, last year. According to Neelan Patil, a research analysts at Frost & Sullivan, ‘a key market driver’ of this growth will be Western Europe’s ‘aging feet of power plants’ leading to new capacity additions – shifting from large, steam-fred power generation facilities to more compact, effcient gas-fred combined-cycle power plants.
He adds: ‘The continued trend of LTSAs [long-term service agreements] for gas turbines, and the willingness of [customers] to outsource operations and maintenance activities to third-party providers will also drive revenue growth for services.’ So the services sector serving the global power generation industry appears to be in the best of health now
Cogeneration & On–Site Power Production | September-October 2013
and over the course of this decade. Is this same growth trend refected in the services and maintenance sector that serves our decentralized energy assets, in particular the industrial gas turbine (IGT)?
Main drivers of growth According to Alina Bakhareva, a research manager a Frost & Sullivan, the simple answer is yes, So if this is the case, what

are the main drivers behind the growth? Focusing on Europe, Bakhareva says, ‘15-20 years ago the liberalization of many markets in the region provided the opportunity for large industrial energy consumers to build and operate their own power plants, many of which were gas turbine based’. This meant that OEMs’ activity was mainly focused on equipment sales, with relatively little attention paid to servicing and maintenance. According to Bakhareva, aftermarket servicing ‘was not part of their strategies and not part of their development efforts’. However, since the economic crisis hit in Europe there has been ‘a massive shift in the gas-fred decentralized energy sector away from equipment sales and towards servicing’, says Bakhareva. The subsequent slowdown in the equipment sales segment has undoubtedly made OEMs reconsider their strategies in aftermarket servicing and maintenance, which offers an opportunity to boost revenues. ‘This has resulted in a heating up of the competition in the services sector’, says Bakhareva, ‘with OEMs and independent services providers (ISPs), as well as some customers carrying out servicing themselves.’ Bakhareva also believes

the industrial customer is also driving the growth in the sector, especially for IGTs. Faced with rising fuel costs, especially outside of the US, as well as growing environmental pressures, large industrial facilities are keen to identify ways to run their existing assets in the most economical and environmentally-friendly manner. And that is where the aftermarket service providers are stepping in. For example, there is now greater interest from
industrial self-generators on how predictive maintenance can help reduce equipment downtime. ‘With advances in sensors, wireless technology and software, it would be silly for them not to take advantage,’ says Bakhareva. For an ISP’s perspective, Cogeneration & On-Site Power Production spoke with Iain Murray, president of Wood Group GTS’ Oil, Gas & Industrial Services division. He is similarly bullish about the growth prospects in the decentralized energy servicing sector, and not just in Europe and North America, but also in many developing regions. He believes that in terms of the industrial sector, a global economic recovery, additional production capacity and equipment reliability will be their main concerns over the next fve to 10 years, which in turn will have an impact on the servicing and maintenance segment.
Murray also foresees shale gas having a signifcant role to play in this segment, although at the moment this is only visible in the US where shale gas has become an unstoppable force in the country’s energy sector. According to Murray,‘We see shale gas as a game-changer in the industrial segment. It pretty much means that most regions, eventually, will have cheaper gas, giving clients the opportunity to install gas-fred power generation on-site.’ And if you combine that with the aging transmission grids, he anticipates more industrial clients will look to install small gas turbine powered units at their sites, which will open up more opportunities for the servicing sector Although the US is 3-5 years ahead of everywhere else in terms of getting shale gas to market and achieving cultural willingness to take advantage of shale gas, Murray says
Oil major extends services contract Wood Group GTS recently secured a multi-million dollar, three-year contract extension from Total E&P Nederland BV to provide maintenance management support for the client’s entire feet of turbines, driven equipment, generators and associated equipment on seven offshore gas platforms located in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. The contract extension encompasses the provision of specialist training on gas turbine operations, maintenance and controls for more than 100 customer personnel, as well as the supply of supplementary offshore personnel for planned and ad hoc turbine package maintenance, the provision of engine supply and overhaul services, and critical package spare parts reviews for both planned and unplanned break down mitigation. The extension follows on from a contract frst awarded to Wood Group
Cogeneration & On–Site Power Production | September-October 2013
GTS in 2009 to provide a dedicated team of offshore and onshore engineers to support the planned and ad hoc maintenance activities on Total E&P Nederland’s turbine packages. Iain Murray, president of Oil, Gas & Industrial Services for Wood Group GTS, said: “We share Total E&P Nederland’s business goal of achieving optimal equipment availability and reliability. Under the existing contract, turbo driven equipment availability and reliability both now exceed 98%. We look forward to working with Total E&P Nederland to optimize their maintenance strategy” Jeroen van der Kaag of Total E&P Nederland said: “Wood Group GTS’ ability to deliver the most effective solution across multiple types of turbomachinery and ancillary equipment to meet the needs of our individual assets is one of the main reasons for awarding them this contract extension.”

‘China, with signifcant shale gas deposits, is playing catch-up fast.’ He anticipates that the ‘two biggest energy demand regions – US and China – will be self-suffcient on natural gas in the next fve years’. Another interesting point Murray raises is that in the two main sectors Wood Group GTS serves – oil & gas and industrial – the drivers in terms of services and maintenance are very different at the moment. ‘In the oil & gas sector, where oil is now in the region of US$110/barrels when historically it has been at $80 or below, these clients are essentially making more money than they know what do with, so their only real driver at the moment is ensuring reliability’,

‘That doesn’t mean they do not care about the cost when it comes to their service and maintenance needs, but they are not price sensitive,’ he says ‘Yet on the industrial side, we are seeing an increase in interest in our independent offerings because we are a second or third item on a factory or facility’s budget so they are looking around and saying we need to get some money out of this cost structure. ‘So we are now seeing companies who probably wouldn’t have talked to us two or three years ago coming in and testing the water on what an alternative solution would look like: Is it technically comparable? Is the service level comparable? And if so, is there a cost saving?’

services and maintenance sector. In Bakhareva’s opinion, one of the constraints facing the sector is that some industrial clients may not be familiar with the benefts that outsourcing equipment servicing can bring. As she says, ‘they may not have the internal capabilities to compare different servicing models and because they
www.cospp.com
IGT services & maintenance market
are accustomed to doing everything in-house with their own teams they may not be willing to consider outsourcing this function’. This is clearly less of an issue in Europe and North America because clients, such as oil & gas majors or large chemical manufacturers, are familiar with the outsourcing concept. However, Bakhareva says, ‘as you move further east, towards Eastern Europe, Russia and the CIS, many of the companies remain rooted in an old-fashioned way of thinking’. In Russia, for example, despite many large industrial companies having spun-off their servicing division, the market for services and maintenance is not fully competitive yet. So although servicing can be carried out by a separate
legal entity, in reality historic ties between the customer and the service provider mean that the former is unlikely to consider holding an open tender and inviting other ISPs to participate. Thus, a cultural change needs to take place here. Is this happening? Bakhareva believes progress, albeit slow, is being made. She holds up Sulzer Turbo as success story. In 2011, the Swiss ISP established a partnership with Urals Turbine Works, and now is essentially one of few foreign ISPs successfully operating in the Russian market. She suggests that this should be viewed as a successful working business model for services companies interested in entering these eastern markets.
As an ISP, Murray says ‘your technical credibility is paramount’. ‘When speaking to a client, questions that will be front of mind are: Can you do this? If I give you this maintenance contract will my turbines still run? Will my unplanned outage be resolved as quickly as with the OEM?’ he says. The belief that the OEM is the only one who knows the equipment and therefore the only one who can look after it still exists. ‘And this barrier needs to be knocked down,’ Murray adds. ‘Thus as an independent we put a lot of emphasis on our technical expertise – we demonstrate we do more than a ‘me too’ service. We ensure we know how the engine works and how to optimize its performance,’ he says.
And to the future? Looking longer term, say over the next 10 to 15 years, should we be optimistic about the continued growth of the sector? Murray is defnitely optimistic about the future of his business. He expects gas-fred power generation to play a greater role in energy. And once global gas at a reasonable price is achieved clients will be attracted to gas-fred power generation resulting in a growing installed base of smaller machines and demand for at least one or two ISPs. Bakhareva is more reserved in her response but concurs that the future is looking bright for this sector.

Flexibility brings economies
Heavy-duty gas turbines can enable CHP plants to burn process by-products that might otherwise be a liability. Yoon-Ho Lee, Michel Moliere and Heung-Yub Ahn describe the design and operational experience of one such cogeneration facility at a petrochemical complex in South Korea.
S
outh Korea’s decades long economic development has created a great need in the country for the products of petrochemical plants. One such facility is the $7.5 billion, 1.9 km2 plant in the city of Yeosu in South Jeolla province, owned by Lotte Chemical (formerly Honam Petrochemical Company). In a drive to help maintain its business competitiveness, Lotte modernized the facility’s energy generation equipment, a move in which cogeneration plays a pivotal role. CHP at the complex produces power and steam for internal petrochemical processes, but it does so by burning an alternative fuel,
the use of which has saved energy, improved operational fexibility and optimized the facility’s energy balance. This is despite the huge fnancial stake in the correct, uninterrupted operation of Yeosu’s petrochemical processes, which run 24/7 all year round, which mean that that part of the complex that manages the supply of power and heat to processes has key responsibilities. Yeosu has been running since 1976. Its operations revolve around an olefns plant that cracks naphtha to make chemicals such as ethylene – its 1000 ktonnes/y output is part of the 3600 ktonnes/y total petrochemicals output of the complex.
Modern petrochemical plants use large amounts of energy, with a heat/power ratio that is high and variable. Gas turbine-based cogeneration units are well suited to such plants because of their effciency, emissions controls and operational versatility. Cogeneration at the Yeosu complex comes from its utilities facility, to which Lotte added an effcient CHP unit of 190 MWth in 2002. It includes a 40 MW Frame 6B or MS 6001B heavy-duty gas turbine from GE, made in Belfort, France. This E-class machine helps create steam at a rate of 75 tonnes/h, rising to a peak rate of 170 tonnes/h. Thermal demand from the complex’s various processes
Figure 1. The Yeosu plant’s cogeneration unit, which is based on the Frame 6B gas turbine
34
Cogeneration & On–Site Power Production | September-October 2013
totals 275 MW. This includes self-generated process heat and the 63 MWth delivered by cogeneration. Average power consumption at the complex is 150 MWe, of which Lotte selfgenerates 67 MWe, and the grid supplies 85 MWe. As indicated above, the petrochemical units absorb a large amount of heat and generate their own. Much of the generated heat feeds steam pressure networks. Among the 275 MWth of steam consumed by the complex, 8% is at the very high pressure of 12,400 kPa and at 525°C, 40% is high-pressure steam at 4100 kPa and 375°C, 22% is medium-pressure steam at 1600 kPa and 275°C, and 30% is low-pressure steam at 450 kPa and 185°C. The complex’s requirement for high-pressure steam made gas turbine cogeneration options all the more attractive. Figure 1 is a schematic of the Frame 6B-based cogeneration unit at Yeosu. These steam and power facilities let the complex operate at a large fraction of full capacity autonomously even when grid power is lost. The Frame 6B has been running at the complex’s utilities facility since 2003. This turbine and its heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) raised power generated there from 25 MWe to 67 MWe, which

Generally the requirements for an ideal alternative fuel for captive generation are exacting: low, ideally negative commercial value; characteristics outside normal commercial specifcations; and unfeasibility of sale. But technical and environmental aspects are important too. There must be compatibility between the fuel and the prime mover, the available volume of fuel must match the targeted CHP capacity and the prime mover must be capable of mixed-fuel operation. Also data on emissions of pollutants must be acceptable. Heavyduty gas turbines have many advantages here. In the case of GE’s E-class units, which include the Frame 6B, 7E and 125 MWe ISO 9E, they
machines that create no special ignition requirements on, for example, the octane and cetane indexes. They also emit negligible amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) and soot over a wide load range. They can also use the universal de-NOx method of the injection of steam and water, and their dual-fuel capability is unprecedented because fuel transfers can be automatic and virtually transparent. However, in practice the range of alternative fuels that are accessible depends on combustion designs, the experience of the OEM and its commitment to tackling challenging applications. At Yeosu the challenge was to make the complex’s exotic C9+ aromatics by-product the main fuel, while using gasoil only for startups and shutdowns. C9+ aromatics are blends of liquid hydrocarbons, 80% of which are aromatics. Heavy-duty gas turbines burn aromatic fuels cleanly thanks to their steady combustion regime, their hot and lean diffusion fames and their very oxidizing combustion zones5. These fractions are not suitable for other prime movers such as reciprocating engines. Fuels may be classifed as gaseous, with high, medium or low BTU properties, and liquids, with the C9+ aromatics lying in

Although the Frame 6B is a heavy-duty gas turbine with can-annular combustors that have combustion traits favourable to burning highly aromatic fractions, such fuels do pose certain challenges. The mixed fuel oil that the Frame 6B uses at Yeosu comprises C9+ mono-aromatics and C6-C8 non-aromatics. Mono-aromatics are volatile and non-lubricious and

brought the self-production ratio to nearly 45% in 2012. It also added the peak steamgeneration capacity. Between March 2003 and June 2013, the turbine clocked 87,000 hours of operation and accommodated a projected shutdown schedule. Over that time it burnt 888,000 tonnes of C9+ hydrocarbons as fuel and only circa (c.a.) 270 tonnes of gasoil. It also generated 3000 GWhe and, through its HRSG, some c.a. 7,200,000 tonnes of steam. The turbine usually runs continuously all year. Its availability was 96% and 98% in 2009 and 2010, respectively; years when combustion inspections occurred. A major inspection in April and May 2011 meant availability was 92% in that year. As far as trouble-shooting is concerned,

The crackers convert these costly compounds into olefns, which are the raw materials for organic synthesis and polymerization. A major strategy of the Yeosu complex was to use the C9+ aromatics by-products of this process as the primary energy source for cogeneration and thereby maximize their use.

The Frame 6B has also demonstrated its ability to match the stringent expectations of the petrochemical community in terms of effciency, availability and reliability. The turbine has its own control system, which is integrated into the DCS, and the unit reacts more quickly to restarts or load changes than steam-based units. Also the loading of the supplementary fring in the HRSG is much faster compared with a conventional oil-fred boiler. Finally the petrochemical complex has also become less vulnerable to disconnection from the electricity grid or boiler trips. If grid power fails, the Frame 6B goes from ‘droop’ mode to ‘island’ mode, while other generators would stay in the droop mode. The complex also protects vital upstream units by automatically changnig its electricity frequency reference from the grid to the main generator.

Export of these surpluses can be costly or a logistical problem, so their use in on-site power generation is helpful. But the fames of liquid fuels, aromatics in particular,

Regular performance upgrades have increased its output from 36 MW to the 42 MW of the latest PG 6581B model. It has also had gradual upgrades to its hardware. The turbine can operate in a wide spectrum of power generation confgurations – in simple and combined cycles. Each turbine generation set constitutes an individual module that has the qualities of start-up agility, rapid installation indoors or outdoors, a low footprint and a simple maintenance programme.

injection of a diluent, usually steam or liquid water, into the gas turbine combustors. At Lotte, the combustion of C9+ aromatics required the use of diffusion fame combustors for which the usual NOx abatement technique is by the injection of water or steam. NOx emissions of the Frame 6B while burning C9+ aromatics and running at baseload are around 300 ppmV. Yeosu had used a steam injection system since the frst operation of the turbine in 2003 to cut NOx to 55 ppmV, in line with the Korean limit. However, in 2008 Lotte changed the diluent to water to improve energy effectiveness. NOx emissions are now 40 ppmV (at 15% O2 in the exhaust gas).

Concerning emissions performance, the Frame 6B can achieve very low NOX emissions5 – 25 ppmV of NOx either via a dry low NOx system (natural gas fring) or by ‘wet control’ consisting of the

Novel, cost-effective fuel cell technology
ACAL Energy’s PEM fuel cell is said to be cheaper and more durable than any other hydrogen fuel cell currently on the market
Bringingofthe power hydrogen fuel cells
to the stationary market
A UK-based clean energy frm’s revolutionary approach to hydrogen fuel cell technology, translates into cheaper, smaller and more durable fuel cells Dr. Andrew Creeth explains the science behind the technology.
H
ydrogen fuel cells might be most commonly thought of in conjunction with cars but they can also provide electricity for stationary power systems. The US Department of Energy reported in 2011 that approximately 15,000 fuel cells were shipped globally in 2010 – more than a 40% growth since 2008.
38
Fuel cells are portable and can be transported easily, they are silent in operation (so ideal for use in or near residential areas) and they can be used either for continuous power or as emergency back-up systems. The ‘plug-and-play’ nature of a fuel cell also means that they can be used to replace or supplement the grid infrastructure, or help meet peak grid demands.
However, you could argue that the biggest advantage of fuel cells is actually the fuel they use – hydrogen. Hydrogen is a very highenergy fuel and is the most abundant energy source on the planet. Fuel cells are the highly-effcient way of converting a fuel into electrical energy because they do it in one step. Hydrogen fuel cells have a theoretical maximum energy conversion effciency
Cogeneration & On–Site Power Production | September-October 2013
of more than 75%: nearly twice as effcient as a gas turbine when it comes to generator technologies. It is a clean, non-polluting fuel, and is a common by-product of many industrial processes. There is therefore huge potential to use hydrogen as a clean stationary power source. The genius of hydrogen is that it can also play into the wider energy production picture. Currently, weather-dependent

renewable power, such as solar or wind, is dogged by supply and demand problems. For example, on a very windy day, a wind farm will produce more power than is needed, so this excess capacity will go to waste. But this excess power could be used instead to power an electrolyser, creating hydrogen as a means of storing the energy. A cell voltage of about 1.5V is enough to allow an electrolyser to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, so it is a very easy and simple way to extract hydrogen. This is why German utilities are already using electrolysers to make hydrogen from their surplus renewable energy. In this manner, fuel cells act just like normal batteries – providing portable, storable power that can be accessed on demand. Hydrogen is also a waste product from a variety of industrial processes, the largest being the chlor-alkali industry, which produces more than 100,000 tonnes of waste hydrogen per year, which equates to more than 100 million gallons of petrol. With little market for the element, the hydrogen is usually released, unused, back into the atmosphere. However, if there was demand from fuel cell users, the chemicals industry could sell their waste hydrogen
This in turn helps establish a well-distributed hydrogen infrastructure, which can link into existing or potential hydrogen producers. So whether you are operating a telecom base station, a chemical plant or a sewage treatment works, you should fnd it easy to access a source of hydrogen or potentially, as in the case of a chemical plant, use what would otherwise go to waste. But although hydrogen makes an undeniably excellent fuel, a number of stumbling blocks associated with standard hydrogen fuel cells have held back the widespread adoption of the technology. Standard proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are expensive, and contain fragile components that
hydrogen fuel cell has any chance of becoming a viable technology for mass-market adoption.
To tackle this problem, we developed a revolutionary new approach to fuel cell technology. ACAL Energydesigned PEM fuel cells are cheaper and more durable than any other hydrogen fuel cell currently on the market. With the ACAL Energy technology, a liquid catalyst – FlowCath® – replaces up to 80% of the platinum catalyst found in standard PEM fuel cells. This involved re-engineering the cathode (air) side of the fuel cell; removing the platinum and replacing it with a polyoxometalate liquid chemical solution – coined the ‘secret sauce’.
new technology addresses. Firstly the polyoxometalate is highly stable and does not degrade. In addition, no damaging intermediates in the reaction with air are formed in the cell which normally would degrade the catalyst assembly. In standard PEM fuel cells, as the fuel and oxygen are pumped into the system, the membrane within the cell stack starts to degrade and the system wears down. As the fuel cell is switched on and off, the membrane moves between a dry and wet state. This cycling causes dimensional change and can lead to damage, which signifcantly limits the membrane’s lifetime. In contrast, FlowCath – the liquid catalyst – dramatically improves the fuel cell’s durability. In the ACAL Energy
instead, thus creating a new revenue stream. One kilogramme of hydrogen provides roughly the same energy as one gallon of petrol. Hydrogen fuel cells can also be used for combined heat and power (CHP) applications – either domestically or commercially. This ‘hydrogen economy’ model is attractive because it works in symbiosis with other established sectors.
degrade quickly. The key component that makes up the PEM fuel cell is also its Achilles’ heel – the platinum catalyst assembly within the stack, which facilitates the reaction to produce electricity, is easily damaged. This limitation, coupled with the fact that the stack contributes up to 50% of the cost of the entire device, signifcantly limits the technology. These issues need to be addressed if the
The advantages of this design technology are two-fold. In a standard PEM fuel cell, the cathode side of the cell (just 30% of the system) contributes 80% of the cost and is responsible for 99% of the durability issues. Because our architecture modifes this part of the system, it signifcantly enhances durability and reduces costs. There are a number of durability mechanisms that the
system, the liquid catalyst is always in contact with the membrane so it avoids such extremes and therefore lengthens the fuel cell’s lifespan. This in turn enables the system to operate at a higher temperature than would normally be the case for stationary applications. The hotter the fuel cell system, the higher the rate of heat loss. The ACAL Energy system operates

Novel, cost-effective fuel cell technology
In a simulated automotive industry test the ACAL Energy fuel cell has reached 10,000 hours, equivalent to 300,000 road miles, with no sign of degradation
For CHP systems, a more effective heat transfer is enabled, making the system more effcient and less expensive, and suitable for stationary applications such as in data centres, schools, hospitals, at much lower cost at around 110°C, signifcantly higher than the 70°C normally observed. The higher temperature and robustness enables the fuel cell to operate at a higher power density. Because the increased temperature increases the rate of heat loss, a simpler and cheaper heat exchange system is needed. For CHP systems, a more effective heat transfer is enabled, making the system more effcient and less expensive. The advantages offered by our technology mean that the FlowCath

technology can be used for stationary applications such as in data centres, schools, hospitals, utilities, fxed line operators and telecom base stations at much lower cost. This has not previously been feasible; up until now, longevity and durability had only been possible with large amounts of platinum, which then makes the fuel cells prohibitively expensive for mass-market deployment and use.
tests and the same trajectory is expected in stationary power system testing. The hydrogen fuel cell has reached 10,000 hours, equivalent to 300,000 road miles, in a simulated automotive industry test consisting of a repeated 40-minute journey without signifcant sign of degradation. These results out-perform the previous industry benchmark of 5000 hours of testing with

Durability testing The ACAL Energy fuel cell technology has undergone robust durability testing in both stationary and automotive applications. Of greatest signifcance, the technology has been tested using an automotive standard test designed to push a fuel cell to its very limits. Our technology has exhibited no signifcant signs of degradation during the
20% degradation. Standard PEM systems tend to decay at a constant rate at approximately 30 µV/h whereas the FlowCath system shows no change for 8000 hours. Concurrent stationary testing has also been running alongside the automotive application. So far, the cell has reached over 5000 hours; although somewhat behind the duration of the automotive test, the cell has not exhibited any decline in performance. On the basis of the results observed in the (signifcantly more demanding) automotive test, one would certainly expect the stationary cell to demonstrate equally robust results and for these results to follow the same trajectory. With the ACAL Energy technology, the same fundamental system can be deployed in both stationary and automotive applications. FlowCath provides the levels of high durability and stability required in stationary applications and the power density and size associated with automotive applications. As a result, the technology can offer stationary durability at lower automotive price points.
Going commercial After eight years of research and development – possible due to funding from investors such as the Carbon Trust, Solvay Chemicals Group and the Sumitomo Corporation – ACAL Energy is currently negotiating contracts with a number of large energy and automotive companies – leaders in the deployment of fuel cell platforms. The FlowCath fuel cell technology has also been installed at Solvay’s UK chemical plant in Warrington,. The fuel cell – a 3 kw power unit – uses hydrogen that comes from a nearby

chlorine production plant. This application is used as a back-up power unit supplying energy to the hydraulic water pump on the plant site. The rig has been running for hundreds of hours, and has endured over 250 stop-starts: so far the fuel cell has demonstrated 100% durability – an example of the robustness of the system that can be expected. The stop-start testing highlights a key beneft of the ACAL Energy system; the fuel cell can be used sporadically as back-up power, as well as a continuous power source. FlowCath provides a breakthrough for fuel cell technology. The enhanced durability realized by the liquid catalyst means that the technology for both automotive and stationary applications can be aligned for the frst time. Initial targeting of automotive companies will lower fuel cell costs, because the supply chain will be optimised for high volumes.This method will be advantageous for stationary applications that will subsequently beneft from the low costs associated with fuel cells produced by a largescale supply chain. Fuel cells represent a way to supplement power from the grid, and can provide a reliable back-up power source if mains power goes out. They are quiet, clean, energy-effcient – and like a giant battery, they can be plugged into a variety of situations and used in a variety of ways. This fexibility makes fuel cells the ideal power source of the future.

WADE PARTICIPATES IN MADRI’S INAUGURAL MEETING The Mid-Atlantic Distributed Resources Initiative (MADRI) held the frst of a series of meetings focused on the question, What needs to be done to make distributed generation (DG) more accessible to end-use customers while balancing the interests of all stakeholders?” The meeting, which took place at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s headquarters in Washington D.C., considered the barriers to deployment of CHP systems, and potential policy and rate-making strategies for addressing them. Bill Pentland, the Director of Markets and Regulation at WADE, participated in a panel focused on how utility tariffs and rate-making issues can affect the economic viability of CHP systems.
Contact Bill Pentland at wpentland@ localpower.org with any questions. MADRI seeks to identify and remedy retail barriers to the deployment of DG, demand response and energy effciency in the Mid-Atlantic region. It was established in 2004 by the public utility commissions of Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, along with the US Department of Energy, US EPA, FERC and PJM Interconnection. MADRI’s guiding principle is a belief that distributed resources should compete with centralized generation and transmission to ensure grid reliability and a fully functioning wholesale electric market.

CHP FOREWORD
Industrial cogen’s key role in Europe’s evolving energy market
T
he new European Union Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU (EED) has further reinforced the urgent need to improve effciency in the power sector in Europe, with cogeneration the leading tool included in the legislation for raising effency in the transformation sector. At the same time, the 2020 energy and climate change goals mean that technologically Europe’s power grid needs to be made ‘smart’ to accommodate the growing contribution of renewable energy sources, while ensuring security of supply. Cogeneration or CHP applications in Europe span a range of capacities and applications, which together amount to over 100 GWe of installed capacity. Roughly 50% of this is in space heating (cooling) applications. The other 50% is in a range of industrial processes serving industry, with heat and electricity production tightly coupled to the process needs. The impacts of energy and electricity market changes affect all applications. In the context of the new call by the Directorate General Enterprise of the European Commission to expand the contribution of industrial production to the European Union’s (EU) GDP, looking at the industrial CHP position raises key questions for all segments of that market. What are the opportunities for industrial cogen as the electricity network changes to a new low-carbon one? What is the best mode of operation for the grid and industrial cogenerators in the future? The EED sends a strong signal to electricity authorities to facilitate the
2
development of new markets for balancing services, demand response and other services, which are specifically needed to support the grid operation as the power mix moves to low carbon. More intermittent renewables on the network brings adequacy challenges particularly from wind and solar PV. The EED contains the basic principles for the creation of new markets for both load and supply management to cope with the increased mismatch of demand and supply. Signifcant energy effciency benefts at the national level come from existing large industrial cogeneration facilities. Industrial CHP is first and foremost a provider of heat to the process it serves but combining the generation of this heat with local production of electricity has to be an attractive business proposition. With increased levels of intermittent renewables driving the network to ask for more flexibility from generators it is now time to give some thought to how to manage this needed flexibility, while continuing to improve the energyefficiency records of industries. This new context further exacerbates the fuctuating electricity prices in liberalized power markets and will also call for more differentiation in grid tariffs according to the generation and consumption profle of network users. Back to the EED, it is clear that legislators understood that new environment by requesting governments to take action to move the transformation sector to a higher energy-effciency level. To that end this legislation reinforces
the priority which should be given to cogenerated electricity in network access and dispatch, and also now introduces the importance of recognizing the ‘need to ensure continuity of heat supply’ for the cogen units. Lastly the legislation encourages electricity regulators to be more active in energy effciency matters. In the current European economic downtur n the Directorate General Enterprise of the European Commission has called on Member States to collectively grow the contribution of industrial output to GDP from 16% to 20% by 2020, as previously mentioned. It is therefore worth recalling that European industry consumed 3668 TWh of energy in 2010, almost as much as the commercial and domestic sectors together. The split of energy use in industry was roughly twice as much heat energy as electrical energy. This results in heat being the critical energy vector and heat costs driving competitiveness. Therefore industrial cogeneration plants contribute significantly to Europe’s industrial competitiveness today and must continue to play a key role in its industrial growth in the future. Given the EU’s renewed commitment to cogeneration in the EED and the EU’s need to defend the competitiveness of European industry, where cogeneration plays an important, in the global marketplace there is a definite need to ensure the changes that are occurring in the electricity market do not inadvertently damage these valuable energy-effciency savings from the cogeneration sector.

CHP
Cogeneration has prospered in parts of the region, sometimes defying weak economies and unhelpful policies.
T
ightening national government budgets in Europe have forced the region’s cogeneration industry to argue persuasively for public subsidies and tax breaks, and the right to have equal treatment with renewables. Helpfully the implementation of the European Union’s (EU) Energy Effciency Directive (EED) is nudging Member States in that direction, while some investment has flowed into district heating and micro-CHP projects. The region’s economic leader Germany is showing the way as it pushes ahead with plans to boost its cogeneration sector. And even though doubts exist that its government’s pro-CHP policies are ft for purpose, they will most likely be tweaked. With Germany the only EU country that can be hailed as a serious economic success, will others follow and expand their cogeneration sectors, recognising an industry that delivers supply security and environmental benefts simultaneously? GERMAN LEADERSHIP Germany still leads other EU countries in terms of the size of its cogeneration sector and CHP’s share of total power production. Perhaps this country has more compelling motives to support the sector than others. Certainly its decision to phase out nuclear power in the country by 2022 will have aided in determining the country’s Energiewende strategy, which favours energy saving and renewables, and gives CHP a leading role.
In 2010 cogeneration produced 90 TWh of electricity, or 15.4% of Germany’s total. With the Energiewende now the country’s main policy driver in the energy sector, this share is slated to rise to 25% by 2020. Germany’s CHP incentives mainly take the form of guaranteed premiums added to the market price of electricity. These have successfully spurred investment in recent years but the country’s 2012 CHP law KWK-G proposed an increase in the premiums, particularly for CHP projects less than 2 MW. The move recognized that the growth of cogen was falling behind the rate necessary to meet the 2020 target, at least partly a consequence of the economic slowdown and energy market liberalization. But other incentives are supporting the CHP sector too. Berlin has pledged it will do even more to ensure the 2020 target is met. Will it be enough? One sceptic is Wulf Binde, managing director of the German association of CHP companies, the BKWK, who is not sure that the country will reach its 2020 goal without further measures. ‘It may be that in 2015 we will have to have another revision of the law,’ he says. ‘Actually the government is preparing a study to assess the situation and consider what we have to do next year to give more support to this sector.’ Binde singles out the government’s fnancial assistance for small CHP units as an indication of continued growth: ‘You
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
can get support from the government for small utilities, and about 28,000 electricity generating units in Germany are in the range of 1–50 kW,’ he says. Grants for such units range from €1500–2000 (US$2000–2700) per installation, although this support only applies to these utilities. Germany already has more than 80% of total microgenerator CHP installations in the EU, with notable success in familysized CHP power plants, which sharply reduce heat and electricity costs, as well as cutting carbon dioxide emissions. Despite continued criticism of support for this sector, largely from conventional power companies, there seems little prospect of signifcant reductions in the aid in the near future. Aid may even be increased if there is a danger of missing the 2020 target. BRITISH POLICY Cogeneration capacity in the UK increased nearly 3% to 6.1 GW in 2012, according to the British government. Installed capacity rose to meet 6.4% of total electricity needs. Most strikingly, cogeneration from renewables rose by almost 20% to account for more than 8% of total fuel used in cogeneration. ‘The added capacity was mainly in heat, and almost all of it is small-scale, with an average capacity of one-point-something megawatts,’ says Dr. Tim Rotheray, head of policy at the London-based Combined Heat and Power Association (CHPA). Renewables’ share of power generation rose from 9.4% in 2011 to a record 11.3%
5
CHP in 2012 through increased capacity, while heat from renewable sources leapt by 7%. T h e g o v e r n m e n t ’s R e n e w a b l e s Obligation policy is partly driving growth in renewables CHP by acknowledging that quality-assured green-feedstock cogeneration can count towards a requirement placed on power producers to increase their green energy output, noted analyst frm Ricardo-AEA of Oxfordshire, UK, in March 2013. It expects British cogen capacity to exceed 12 GWe by 2030, 17% of which will be from renewables. The following stories illustrate why. Germany’s MVV Energie AG is building a €140 million, 23 MW cogeneration plant near Sittingbourne in Kent that will burn old and waste timber. Its start-up date is spring 2015. Meanwhile, UK-based ENER-G will this year supply a cogeneration system of up to 1.4 MW capacity for a new anaerobic digestion facility in Dunfermline, Scotland. An engine from Germany-based MTU, with an industry-high 42% electrical effciency, will allow the facility to produce power from methane biogas from food and garden waste at a local authority landfll site. But the big news of the past year was that heat started fowing last October from the UK’s largest cogeneration project, the £500 million ($760 million), 1275 MW plant operated by German utility E.ON on the Isle of Grain in Kent, next to project collaborator National Grid’s Grain liquefed natural gas (LNG) terminal. New community cogeneration schemes include the waste-to-energy Bunhill Energy Centre that pipes hot water to more than 700 homes and other buildings in Islington in London. As for government policy, the most recent signifcant moves have been the March 2013 announcement of the next steps in the government’s 2012 Heat Strategy to ensure that affordable, secure, low carbon heating plays an important role in the energy mix. ‘The strategy contains quite ambitious plans for the growth of CHP, including a commitment to a gas-fired CHP policy,’ says DR. Rotheray. The latest commitment includes £9 million to help
6
local government develop heat network schemes running in towns and cities.
GERMANY ALREADY HAS MORE THAN 80% OF TOTAL MICROGENERATOR CHP INSTALLATIONS IN THE EU Electricity market reform may also be helping promote small stand-alone systems, although not intentionally. By forcing power producers to operate in a competitive power market, it is creating administrative and management diffculties for small energy players: ‘But all this complexity is leading to a very attractive market for the non-exporting small-scale CHP market, which is growing strongly,’ adds Dr. Rotheray. FINNISH PROTECTION Although Finland has created new energy initiatives and regulations to develop CHP plants, industrial CHP usage has shrunk because the national economy is facing depressed demand for the country’s goods, especially in Europe. Statistics Finland reports a fall in industrial energy consumption in 2012 to 380 TWh, 2% lower than in 2011. This caused a 7% decline in output from industry-based CHP units. In district heating, around 80% of which in Finland employs cogeneration, output declined by 11%. Yet the government successfully passed a national energy and climate strategy in March 2013, aiming to create a decentralized and versatile energy system based on energy plants large and small, and diverse energy sources supported by a state-backed energy technology cluster. The goal is to raise CHP plants’ share in total national energy consumption from 22% in 2012 to 35% in 2025. Moreover the strategy sets a target price for biogas CHP production of €133.5 per MWh. Finland will also continue supporting the construction of cogeneration plants,
especially those linked to renewables such as wood and biogas, says Pentti Puhakka, a senior clean energy adviser to the Ministry of Employment and Economy. ‘CHP is the only fuel-based method for generating electricity that can reach levels of effciency of up to 90%,’ he says. ‘Cogeneration systems save 30–40% of fuel consumption compared with separate condensed electricity generation and heat production systems. The effciency of CHP to reduce emissions and fuel consumption is often underestimated.’ There is a strong case for developing CHP combined with district heating and cooling, as part of the sustainable energy infrastructure of urban environments, he adds. Among new CHP plants from Finnish companies is Fortum Corporation’s biofuel-fred facility in Jarvenpaa, north of Helsinki, commissioned in June and costing €80 million. It will produce 280 GWh of heat and around 130 GWh of electricity per year. Meanwhile, the Metsä Group started production in January at its latest CHP plant, next to its Kerto timber mill. The €17 million, 160,000 MWh unit will deliver heat, steam and power to the mill and the district heating network in Lohja. BALTIC BRIGHT SPOT Cogeneration production is booming in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Latvian plants now number 132, up from 83 in 2011, according to the country’s Central Statistical Bureau. Their capacity reached 1021 MW, producing 2339 GWh of electricity and 4688 GWh of heat in 2012, and now accounting for about 14.5% of Latvia’s total electricity consumption, contributing a 6% increase in production capacity last year. Yet despite there being more plants, they are usually small, with an average generating capacity of 0.2–5 MW. In neighbouring Lithuania, CHP power plants that use natural gas, biogas and wood chips as fuel dominate. CHP’s growth in this country has been slower than in Latvia, although Finnish
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
CHP energy company Fortum has invested heavily in the region’s cogeneration, opening a waste-to-energy plant in May in Klaipeda on the coast that will produce 400 GWh of heat and 140 GWh of electricity per year from 230,000 tonnes of local biomass and waste, covering 40% of the city’s energy needs. Support for the facility included a €70 million seven-year loan from the Finland-based Nordic Investment Bank. Lithuania is also seeking to increase its use of biomass in CHP by 2020. The government wants to ensure 22% of power in the country is generated by CHP plants run on biomass in cogeneration mode; 12% by biomass CHP in condensation mode; and 66% using other non-cogen generators, including imported power. Regarding projected funding for Lithuania’s development of biomass cogeneration, 56% will come from loans, 30% from EU structural regional development funds and 14% from personal capital investment, say the Lithuanian Renewable Energy Confederation.
COGENERATION PRODUCTION IS BOOMING IN ESTONIA, LATVIA AND LITHUANIA, WITH LATVIAN PLANTS NUMBERING 132, UP FROM 83 IN 2011, ACCOUNTING FOR ABOUT 14.5% OF TOTAL ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION And in Estonia this May a CHP plant of electrical and thermal capacities of 2.2 MW and 12 MW, respectively, launched in Kuressaare, the nation’s westernmost town. Local energy company AS Kuressaare Soojus operates the facility, which uses a thermal oil boiler and thermal oil economisers, and will be the largest medium-capacity plant to be supported
by the Environmental Investment Centre, a state-owned green technology funding body that provided the construction fnance. Estonia has also announced it will allocate €200 million from its EU structural funds budget to support renewables from 2014 to 2020, aiming to supply 20% of its gross electricity consumption from cogeneration plants by 2020. POLISH HITCH Poland’s market for cogeneration hit a setback this year when the government scrapped legislation that would have replaced an outgoing CHP subsidy scheme that expired in March. H o w e v e r, s o m e c o g e n e r a t i o n investments are still moving forward, including the development of plants in Bialystok, Katowice, Krakow, Lodz and Poznan, and a 70 MWe plant being built by Polish oil refning giant PKN Orlen near its headquarters in Płock, central Poland, which is due to come on line in 2016. However, it is unclear when or if those investments will receive central government support. A package of energy laws proposed earlier this year would have provided subsidies for CHP investments, but with Poland’s economy slowing, the government withdrew it. Smaller regulations are now being pushed through piecemeal. An early measure would provide tax breaks for CHP and is expected to be passed this autumn. The law would still need approval from the European Commission in its capacity as EU government-subsidy watchdog. But assuming a public funding framework is eventually restored, the outlook will be bright. EU energy conservation legislation and its Renewable Energy Directive on green cogeneration mean that CHP investment will rise in the country, according to energy analyst Tomasz Chmal at Warsaw-based think-tank the Sobieski Institute. Poland’s capital is the best example of the many cities that already use CHP to provide residents with heat and electricity.
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
And while the vast majority of cogeneration facilities in Poland use coal, according to Chmal, biomass, co-fred and waste-to-energy systems will surge as the country looks to meet EU green energy requirements. ITALIAN STRIDES Italy is continuing to promote cogeneration through a trading scheme for white certificates. This has proved to be a particularly suitable support mechanism for CHP, especially because in September 2011 the country accurately defned who could access the scheme and how. Certain high-efficiency producers can earn the certifcates and then trade them with power and gas distributors who may want to fulfll mandatory energy savings targets that they cannot meet through their own efforts. Certifcates are each worth one tonne of oil equivalent saved. F ro m l a s t D e c e m b e r, c h a n g e s to the scheme also allowed energy services companies that perhaps supply cogenerated power, and companies or organizations that have an energy manager or an ISO 50001-certifed energy management system in place to trade the certificates. More than 1.84 million of which were issued between 3 February and 30 June this year, according to sustainable energy management authority Gestore Servizi Energetici. But the scheme’s real impact on the uptake of cogeneration and Italy’s efforts to meet EU energy savings targets is not clear. The most recent and complete national fgures came from the Italian Ministry for Economic Development in 2011. These showed that Italy’s 53 TWh of cogenerated power, 18% of the total, is produced mainly in industrial sectors such as the petrochemical and refinery industries with a primary energy mix heavily skewed towards natural gas. Meanwhile, an annual report published in December 2012 on energy effciency by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development said more significant growth is unlikely without a
7
CHP dedicated incentive scheme that allows faster payback times for entrepreneurs or extends more reliable credit to enterprises looking to invest in cogeneration. And growth in the Italian CHP market remains slow despite the country’s attractive regulatory environment. A national energy efficiency action plan has particularly highlighted the untapped potential for residential micro-cogeneration, but installation here is hindered by lengthy bureaucratic procedures. A bill now before parliament proposes a 65% tax deduction for the installation of small and microcogeneration systems to improve building energy efficiency. This could prove an appealing incentive. HELLENIC PUSH Cogeneration in Greece and Cyprus has had to contend with economic crises and largely neutral government policies. But Greece saw a signifcant increase in CHP capacity with the grid connection last year of a high-effciency CHP plant at the Aluminium SA complex of the Mytilineos Group in the south of the country. It added 110 MW to the combined 89 MW output of other CHP plants. And regulatory improvements also helped the sector progress. For example, the government clarifed rules for administering and authorising smallscale CHP connections to the grid. However, the cash-strapped country has imposed an additional and temporary tax on cogeneration operators. July 2012 saw the passing of a ‘solidarity’ levy of 10% on the prices offered to CHP producers for their power by LAGIE, the electricity market operator. The producers argue that this is unfair and that they should be charged on the net price after fuel costs have been accounted for. The levy is to remain until 30 June 2014. Greece has also yet to implement EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU – an issue that the Hellenic Association for the Cogeneration of Heat and Power has raised with the government, given it is likely to spark further incentives for the sector. Association president Anastasios Tosios says Greece’s cogeneration industry

has potential but needs government recognition of CHP’s role as a primarily energy saving operation. He believes it also requires a stable environment that does not produce surprises, such as a new levy in 2015 or 2016. Cyprus has been having an even tougher time of late, but offcials at the energy service of the island’s Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism say CHP production is rising steadily. Looking at the largely Greek portion of the island that is controlled by an internationally recognised gover nment, CHP output reached 12.47 MW in 2011, up from 11.23 MW the previous year. The country produced 68,592.94 MWh of electricity and 75,347 MWh of heat from CHP in 2011, according to the latest available fgures. Much of the feedstock for these plants comes from farms, mainly those rearing pigs, which produce biogas. The government has introduced two sponsorship plans for CHP development and has incorporated into law most of the relevant EU energy directives, although this is an ongoing process, say offcials at the ministry. They note how the financial crisis has dashed expectations that cogeneration in Cyprus would reach 62 MWe sooner than the 2020 target date of the nation’s second plan for energy effciency. SPAIN DISAPPOINTS One disappointment in European cogeneration has been Spain, where the sector is facing a sea-change in policy that would favour renewables over CHP. Cogeneration accounts for 12% of the country’s electricity generation, 25% of its natural gas consumption and 40% of natural gas used by Spanish industry. But measures including energy reforms decree Real Decreto-Ley 9/2013, approved on 13 July, mean cogenerators will pay more tax on natural gas than a generator using that fuel or coal to produce electricity only, and much more than a wind energy generator, complains the Asociación Española de Cogeneración (ACOGEN).
‘The effects will be devastating for the activity of the paper, ceramics, chemicals, tiles and food industries, introducing distortions in competition,’ it says. Anticipated November 2013 government figures may confirm that industrial cogeneration had already been shrinking from 2011 amid uncertainty over government plans for the sector. The most recent statistics from Spain’s Institute for the Diversifcation and Saving of Energy, published this February, pre-date the proposal of the contentious reforms. They show installed cogeneration capacity rose to 6.41 GW in 2011 from 6.1 GW in 2010, with the increase entirely from industrial cogeneration. The service sector contribution fell by around 400 MW from 2010–11. Spain’s overall electricity production from cogeneration in 2011 was 34.6 GWh. Of the country’s 730 cogeneration plants in 2011, most were industrial, including 159 in the food, drink and tobacco sector, 146 in manufacturing and non-metallic minerals, and 126 in services, according to Spain’s alternative energy institute the Instituto para la Diversifcación y Ahorro de la Energía. Many of these companies are opposing the government plans. Manufacturers in the country create 15–20% of industrial GDP. Among them, carmakers General Motors, Opel and SEAT, energy and petrochemicals companies CEPSA and BP, and food maker Nestlé backed an ACOGEN campaign in June against government moves to hobble cogeneration. ROMANIA’S FIGHT Romania’s cogeneration sector has had to fight for government-supported investment. It has benefitted from an energy tax on consumers that aids CHP investments, but this fund may diminish by the end of the year, the Romanian energy minister Constantin Nita announced on 25 July. It is not clear yet, however, how much the current tax of €5.25 per MWh will be cut. Nita says the aim is to reduce companies’ electricity bills to help make Romanian exports more competitive and to lower bills for consumers.

CHP This support scheme for high-effciency CHP, which has been in place since April 2011, offers grants to encourage new investment in cogeneration technology and to help renew or even replace the country’s communist-era district heating systems, with the money being tapped from funds gathered from the energy tax. Prime Minister Victor Ponta even suggested this April that the tax may disappear entirely from consumers’ bills. But a few days later Niculae Havrilet, president of the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE), contradicted him: ‘I don’t think we can speak about eliminating it, but about re-evaluating it and diminishing it in some cases,’ he said. According to data from ANRE, Romania had in April a total installed electrical capacity of 3617.93 MW associated with cogeneration, using mainly natural gas and coal as feedstocks. An increasing number of new CHP plants are being inaugurated and built. The Energy Cogeneration Group, which is part of the RomanianBritish company InterAgro Group, expects to build four with a total capacity of 60.75 MW, mainly to support its agriculture, tobacco, chemical and energy-industry sites. Meanwhile on 9 July the RomanianSwedish consortium Genesis Biopartner opened the first cogeneration plant fuelled with biogas. This 1 MW facility will power manufacturing at the country’s meat processing company Cris-tim. FRANCE LASPSES Government policy in France is threatening its recent advances regarding large CHP plants, an existing stock of around 800 of which, with a total capacity of 5000 MW, can produce an average of 16 TWh of electricity and 22 TWh of heat annually, according to green energy association FEDENE. These cogeneration facilities were largely installed between 1997 and 2001, backed by public investment subsidies of about €5 billion that came with the promise that France’s utilities would buy the power these plants produced over 12 years. However, these contracts are now reaching maturity. When that period expires, these facilities must
sell their electricity on the open market, which is small in France, where nuclear dominates and makes the economic feasibility of continuing these CHP plants questionable. However, some new cogeneration facilities are being installed. Akuo Energy, a French producer of electricity from renewables, is investing €150 million in two new biomass CHP plants via its subsidiary NEREA. These are among the frst biomass projects in the country to use non-recourse fnancing, where repayments will come from profits alone. One is a 13 MW biomass cogeneration facility, expected to be operational by the end of 2014, that should produce 100,000 MWh of electricity per year and 25 tonnes of steam per hour for the Bonduelle Europe Long Life food processing factory in Estrées-Mons in northern France. The second project is a 16 MW facility at Ajinomoto Foods Europe’s food-processing plant in Nesle in the same region, which began operating in April 2013, producing 60 tonnes of steam per hour. These two projects will cut carbon emissions in these factories by around 120,000 tonnes per year and will supply electricity to more than 55,000 homes. And last year papermaker Smurfit Kappa Group’s production facility in Biganos in southwest France became the country’s largest biomass-based CHP facility. Dalkia, a subsidiary of Veolia Environment, installed the 69 MW plant, which produces 260 tonnes of steam per hour. And there is potential for expansion in the micro-CHP market too. The gover nment has passed directive Réglementation Ther mique 2012, which sets a new minimum standard for thermal insulation in residential and other buildings. This is likely to increase the use of micro-CHP. ‘Given their extensive nuclear power, the usage of cogeneration plants is still in the emerging phase in France,’ says Suba Arunkumar, energy and environment industry manager for market analyst Frost & Sullivan.

CROATIA The EU’s newest member state Croatia is optimistic about CHP. The Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA) says plans are in place to ensure cogeneration here grows signifcantly over the next few years. It stresses that EU accession would help promote CHP because the EU’s energy efficiency directive now applies, which ‘will provide a stable framework for [CHP] development’. In June this year, Croatia published a new act on the thermal energy market. This includes a number of the directive’s provisions. In addition, the Ministry of Economy, which is responsible for the energy sector, will draft a new act on energy effciency that may pass into legislation by the end of this year. It could include more measures that will promote cogeneration but the sector is growing anyway. In 2012, five biomass or biogas CHP plants with a total output of 4085 MWe started operations, says HERA. One reason is that Croatia’s system of feed-in tariffs, which provides a higher power price for renewables, has been encouraging investment in CHP plants based on biomass or biogas, ‘whereas high-effciency [non-renewables] is apparently not lucrative’, HERA has reportedly said. HERA hopes EU development funds can boost cogeneration in Croatia. The nation will have access to €11.7 billion in EU investment over the next seven years if it proposes suitable projects and programmes, according to the European Commission. ‘There are high expectations regarding funding via EU funds and programmes for different projects, both structural and demonstrational,’ says HERA. But further is work required to produce eligible proposals. ‘The cogeneration sector has not delivered an eminent or established player or representative that would co-ordinate or lead projects and proposals,’ adds HERA. Activities are limited to individual investors, usually supported by regional energy agencies, local government or non-proft organizations, it added.

Recent implementations of automation and information systems at cogeneration plants show how these technologies not only improve productivity but enhance reliability and cybersecurity too. They will soon even allow CHP demand-side response management.
T
he European cogeneration sector has been looking hard for a competitive edge, and one area of innovation that has helped it improve its energy efficiency is in the convergence of software, control and instrumentation, the internet and wireless communication, and smart grids. These are increasingly infuencing the operations of cogeneration plants and what opportunities they have. Various factors show the importance of improving control systems and instrumentation in industrial cogeneration plants, among them the complexity of operating conditions, the numbers of boilers and turbines frequently involved, potentially competing demands from end users of the power and heat, and the increasing likelihood that surplus power will be fed into local and national grids. Advanced automation is playing an increasingly signifcant role here as it can deliver higher effciency, a reduced load on the environment and lower use of fuel stock, according to Jukka Pyykkö, product manager at Metso Automation, a business division of Finland’s global engineering and technology company Metso. Automation, he says, can measure, calculate, estimate and monitor production effciency, direct costs, lifetime costs, emissions and how these parameters interact. While this is understood by operators of modern large CHP plants, there is
less awareness among those employing smaller units. ‘It is not yet clear to every user that a modern automation system gives clear benefits when compared with a simpler PLC [programmable logic controller] system,’ says Pyykkö. ‘A good time to upgrade an automation system is, for instance, in connection with the modernization of boiler combustion technology or the steam turbine controller.’ Getting the best from the most advanced solutions depends on putting in place automation and information systems that are expandable and can be integrated with processes, he adds. Metso’s solution is Metso DNA Energy Management, which has a strong foothold, particularly for European biomass-fred cogeneration plants, the company says. Metso DNA is a modular database software system that allows load and price forecasting, energy production optimization and electricity trading. In response to industry requirements, it has separate modules so users can tailor it to their needs without having to spend time and capital on customising software. User friendliness is a key goal of software developers in this field and the Metso system is designed to be compatible with the user interface in Microsoft Offce and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Similarly reports can be generated in Microsoft Excel, while users can edit
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
information pulled into the system’s database from the plant or manually add information. This might happen if operators wish to plug in external forecasts for example. A separate, simulation database in the system allows operators to ask what-if questions about the potential impact of, say, weather and load scenarios. With security of both plants and power grids moving well up the cyber security agenda this year, the facility to set individual user passwords and rights is an important feature of Metso DNA. Metso DNA technology will lie at the heart of the €25 million (US$33 million) biomass-fred cogeneration power plant in Sweden that Metso is supplying to Vimmerby Energi & Miljö AB for scheduled start-up by the end of 2014. Designed for unmanned operation, the plant – capacity of 26 MWth and 7 MWe – with a Metso fue gas condenser also producing 4.5 MWth of heat, requires sophisticated automation to deal with the competing demands made on it. These include hot water for district heating and local industries, steam for a local brewery, reduced CO2 emissions and the export of surplus electricity to Sweden’s national grid. All this is fred by local forest residues, such as bark and wood chips. Automation systems have proved their worth around Europe. Emerson Process Management, a division of US-based
11
CHP global engineering firm Emerson, reported in June that the reliability and effciency of a mission critical cogeneration plant in Cartagena, southeast Spain, had increased since the company installed the latest version of its Ovation expert distributed control system there in February 2012. Ovation has evolved over the years in response to industry’s needs and comprises computerised controllers throughout the plant, a data input-output unit and embedded software applications. The control systems are split into two sections: one covering the CHP plant and the other covering the separate package boilers. As with Metso’s DNA system, it is designed to mesh easily with the latest developments in communications, data processing and advanced applications. At Cartagena, Ovation equipped a natural gas-fired, 95 MW combined-cycle cogeneration facility that needs maximum availability to prevent interruption of the supply of steam and power to a neighbouring polycarbonate plastics production site. EnergyWorks, a subsidiary of Spanish energy giant Iberdrola Group, operates the cogeneration plant, which is now able to respond more quickly to changes in demand, Emerson says. The company also stresses that use of Ovation has extended the working life of the plant.

One important function that effcient controls can help deliver is the monitoring of the moisture content of feedstock and the adjustment of the combustion process for better effciency. Ovation in its latest form allows biomass-fuelled power plants continually to undertake these observations and calibrations. A microwave moisture sensor combines with an Ovation control system to help reduce maintenance costs says Emerson. The company explains that biomass fuels vary considerably in energy content. Fuel with a high moisture content generates less heat and has a signifcant positive effect on energy recovery in steam generators. Controlling combustion by monitoring fue gases and adjusting the combustion air for best effciency is the traditional solution, but rapidly changing fuel quality and boiler characteristics can make maintaining optimum conditions diffcult, according to Emerson. Its solution is to continually monitor the moisture in fuel that is feeding into the combustion chamber. The system includes a small skid platform that every two to three minutes samples biomass fuel moving into the plant, measures moisture, then returns the fuel to the transport system. The moisture sensor connects to Ovation via ethernet systems. Ovation analyses the data feed to provide fast, accurate information on temperature and moisture. It then adjusts the combustion air to match the characteristics of the fuel based on the master set-point output for MWe, steam or pressure, and based on the boiler response and the thermal cycle overall. ‘The variable moisture content of biomass fuels presents a challenge for operators who are under pressure to maximize performance from their power plants,’ says Bob Yeager, president of Emerson Process Management’s Power & Water Solutions. ‘With continuous moisture monitoring data incorporated into the Ovation control system, operators can make rapid adjustments to the combustion process to help enable an increase in net yearly MWh production.’ Emerson adds that a leading power generator in Italy has evaluated the solution on a 15 MWe, 50 MWth wood chipburning power plant whose fuel arrives from various suppliers, each delivering it with varying levels of moisture. The combustion process here needs to be continually adjusted for different mixes of fuel. Continuous monitoring of moisture has helped improve the plant’s effciency and reduce maintenance costs, Emerson says. The example is apt as varied biomass fuels will be a signifcant feature of the increased complexity that Metso’s Pyykkö expects to see in cogeneration in the future. He foresees different types of green energy supplies being connected to common district heating and cooling networks, as well as national grids. ‘They will be controlled optimally and operated remotely with advanced automation solutions,’ he says, adding that they will run on biomass, solar energy, process heat, biogas, waste-to-energy, wind, heat pumps, natural gas, stored energy, gasifcation or coal with carbon capture. ‘Automation’s role is to take care of the
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
CHP optimum power and heat production based on capacities and costs,’ he says. Meanwhile, rising consciousness about the potential for cyber attacks against power plants and grids has seen Switzerlandheadquartered global engineering company ABB start to emphasize security features that have been added progressively to its control systems for the power and water industries. In a detailed note on these in late 2012, it acknowledged that, in general, systems delivering comprehensive real-time information to allow greater reliability and control have become increasingly interconnected. The new generation of automation systems uses open standards and commercial technologies, with particular reliance on ethernet and TCP/IP-based communication protocols that are familiar to many internet users and, sadly, to most hackers. With connectivity to external networks such as company intranets and the internet itself, operational benefts now go hand-in-hand with security risks. As the power industry in general has become more aware of the threats, it is demanding secure systems. ABB is among leading solutions providers who claim that cyber security is embedded in their products. Among its proactive defences are a centre to test security patches for its software and an independent site where state-of-the-art security tools assess products for robustness. For example, ABB’s Symphony Plus control systems for power plants allows external communication to an automation and control system to be routed through a protective frewall and communication enabled by a virtual private network. Symphony Plus supports antivirus software, which can also have different security zones that require different levels of clearance to access depending on the operator’s role in the process. This can limit the use of removable media such a pen drives and disks. Other standard features are event logging and audit trails, backup and restore functions, hardened operating systems on host servers, host server frewalls and security software patch validation. Other providers of relevant solutions include America’s Honeywell, which in June unveiled Cyber Security Dashboard, an advanced product it claims will help power plants better manage control-system cyber security. ‘In many ways the control room of the future won’t be limited to the control room at all,’ says Jason Urso, chief technology offcer with Honeywell Process Solutions. The tool is intended to simplify the process of keeping automation systems up-to-date with cyber security requirements. It presents data in a single view and allows users to drill down and access more-detailed content, such as graphics, trends, documents and applications. Advanced analytics can generate customised alerts to advise staff to update antivirus protection, for example, and manage software security patches. Honeywell expects to roll out Cyber
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
Security Dashboard worldwide in early 2014. Meanwhile, smart wireless instrumentation solutions aimed at reducing downtime in plants including cogeneration facilities are becoming more sophisticated. Emerson Process Management’s Rosemount 3051 pressure transmitter, launched in May, transmits data on fow and pressure in steam, water and compressed air systems to benchmark energy usage, identify energy savings and provide energy management and accurate internal billing. The company claims it has a 10-year power module life, will be stable for at least fve years and maintenance free, and will reduce energy costs and increase process effciency while providing a safer environment for employees. Emerson contends that equipment failure causes nearly half of operational downtime, yet many assets go unmonitored because of cost constraints. It says the Rosemount 3051 wireless pressure transmitter can deliver cost savings of 40–60% compared with wired installations. Wireless technology also means additional measurement points can be added quickly and economically. Validating the smart wireless approach, Emerson released details in March of how this technology is improving operational effciency by an estimated 5% at a 13.7 MW biomass cogeneration plant in Faenza, Ravenna province, Italy.

The facility uses Emerson wireless devices to monitor complex fuel pretreatment, incineration and a new boiler. This supports preventative maintenance and provides tank overspill protection. Some 29,000 local households draw power from the plant, whose operator Enomondo burns waste residues from wine making, and in the process helps to reduce Italy’s CO2 emissions from power generation by 35,500 tonnes annually. Enomondo is a 50/50 joint venture between wine and denatured alcohol maker Caviro Distillerie of Treviso and Italian construction, recycling and waste disposal company Herambiente. With the installation of a new boiler at the plant to increase effciency and capacity came the need for new instrumentation to monitor temperature and pressure. The fuel pretreatment process, which ensures NOx emissions are less than half the limit set by law in Italy, had numerous variables that were not easily controlled. Enomondo addressed this problem by using smart wireless technology because it offered simpler installation and lower overall costs than wired solutions. In March the plant was using 22 smart wireless
14
transmitters to send data on temperature and pressure via a wireless gateway to the plant’s Emerson Delta V digital automation system. Cost savings came in various forms. Infrastructure costs were some 30% lower than a wired alternative, layout and wiring costs were halved, and installation and instrumentation control costs 40% less, Emerson says. ‘The modularity of Emerson’s smart wireless technology, the ease and reduced cost of implementation compared to wired devices, and its reliability once installed have encouraged us to expand its use into other applications,’ says Alessandro Catani, plant and energy manager for Enomondo. Beyond the plant level, connectivity is also emerging as a strong technology theme for power distribution networks. Ageing networks in Europe need more flexibility and robustness to meet increasing demand while meeting European Union targets to reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 compared with 1990. Members of a UK business-led consortium are addressing this agenda by planning a live pilot to validate the model they have developed to establish active
virtual power plants with CHP clusters feeding into a Smart Grid. The organizations planning to go live after a feasibility study in UK Power Networks’ London distribution network are distribution network operator UK Power Networks, packaged cogeneration plant supplier ENER-G, combined power, innovation consultant the Advanced Digital Institute, and smart grid companies Flexitricity and Smarter Grid Solutions. The study launched in July 2012 and received £100,000 ($155,000) from the British government-backed Technology Strategy Board. The partners have not disclosed technical results but are satisfied that they have developed a workable ‘active demand-response’ supply control model at a low level in the network, where many small-scale CHP plants in the range 10 kWe to 1000 kWe and individual loads are linked to a distribution network operator’s (DNO) network management signals in a system that the consortium calls ‘active CHP-VPP’ (CHP-virtual power plants). Such loads include building heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment. ‘The requirements for active CHP-VPP can be used to shape offerings to the market place in terms of the combination of aggregation and constraint management and the required communications infrastructure,’ the organizations conclude. The consortium anticipates that by 2015 early-adopter DNOs globally will be commissioning active, distributed demand and supply management VPP systems. It notes: ‘The installed base of small CHP plants is circa 50 MW in London, 4 GW in the UK, 100 GW in Europe and 320 GW worldwide.’ Martin W ilcox, head of Future Networks at UK Power Networks, told a London conference in July: ‘We now want to include demand-side response as part of our normal activity as trials have given us confdence that it can work as an alternative to network reinforcement. ‘We are talking to organizations about the returns they can make by supporting London’s electricity network at peak times.’

CHP
If CHP in the region is to continue growing, the industry will have to persuade different markets of cogeneration’s advantages. This showcase of projects of different sizes indicates it is on the right track.
I
t is reassuring that amid Europe’s current sluggish economy, cogeneration companies and projects are innovating, while expanding CHP capacity across the continent. Rivalry is apparent within this industry but competition also comes in the form of other energy producers, especially over the matter of securing government support. Ultimately cogeneration companies will need to demonstrate how they can deliver energy-effcient solutions to a wide range of customers. If they achieve this, then European cogeneration will have a sustainable future. HELPING GERMANY DITCH NUCLEAR The 9.5 MW prime mover formally installed in May this year by the municipal utility Stadtwerke Rosenheim in Bavaria, Germany, ticks off a number of important innovations. It is the largest gas engine yet developed by Austrian company GE Jenbacher, which sees its product as an illustration of the role distributed energy is now playing in Germany’s policy to halt all nuclear power by 2022 and replace it with natural gas, renewable energy and greater use of energy-effcient technologies – the Energiewende. ‘The most striking feature of the new gas engine is its electricity effciency,’ says Anja Pegger of GE Jenbacher, who reels off statistics concerning its performance. The J920 FleXtra’s electrical effciency of 48.7%
is the highest in the 10 MW class, she says, adding that it is ‘about 90% effcient in cogeneration mode, depending on heat utilization’. That last figure is more than three percentage points better than that of a single-stage turbocharging gas engine. And, since about 80% of the operating costs for gas-fired power plants are for fuel, this effciency advantage represents ‘signifcant savings’. One of the goals of the Energiewende is to increase power from CHP from 15% of Germany’s electricity supply today to 25% by 2020. The country is already the largest single market for CHP in the European Union (EU), accounting for more than 20% of the electricity from cogeneration in the 28-member bloc. GE Jenbacher’s new product joins four of its existing engines at Stadtwerke Rosenheim – three 3.35 MW J620 units and one 4.4 MW two-stage turbocharged J624 – to give the utility an integrated cogeneration facility with a capacity of 36 MWe and 44 MWth. The J920 ‘offers both high effciency and reliability levels, which makes it the ideal large gas engine distributed power solution for industrial and grid stabilisation applications’, says Karl Wetzlmayer, general manager of gas engines for power generation at GE Power and Water, to which he adds that the unit at Stadtwerke Rosenheim has a lower carbon footprint
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
than conventional power plants and boilers. The complex as a whole will meet about 40% of the electricity needs of Rosenheim, a city of some 61,000 in the upper-Bavarian Alpine foothills, and 20% of its heating requirements, and will also provide power and heat to industry. Jenbacher’s new engine will assist Germany’s effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2020. The engine’s fast start-up will add to the utility’s operational fexibility by helping overcome the challenges of intermittency caused by adding wind and solar energy supplies to the electricity grid, the company says. The two-stage turbocharging design of the J920 FleXtra will also help Stadtwerke Rosenheim meet Germany’s goal to improve its energy productivity – related to prime energy usage – by 2.1% annually. A noteworthy factor in the development of the plant has been the collaboration between the city’s public utility and GE Jenbacher. Germany sets great store by co-operation between industry and municipal energy providers. In fact the company and Stadtwerke Rosenheim had shared almost a decade of gas engine innovation and co-operation, and the Bavarian utility was seen as an ideal means of showcasing the J920 FleXtra, the company said in a statement at the May opening.

CHP GE claims that operating the J920 FleXtra at 48.7% electrical efficiency provides the capacity to produce more than 76 GWh of electricity per year. Every year it will also avoid the consumption of more than 6.4 GWh of natural gas and the emission of about 1500 tonnes of CO 2, which the company says is equivalent to the annual emissions of about 800 cars on European roads. In cogeneration mode, the J920 FleXtra’s overall effciency of up to 90% compares very favourably with the separate production of heat and electricity by a natural gas-fred boiler and delivery of electricity on the EU grid. The unit’s design allows its use in a variety of multiple-engine power plant applications, ranging from remote on-site supply of solely power to CHP. In the latter case, operators make use of heat from jacket water, oil and mixture coolers, and gas engine exhaust. For the best results in effciency the heating-water circle has a return water temperature of 70ºC and a hot water temperature of 90ºC, says GE in a background note about the project. LOW-COST HEAT FROM WOOD The Baltic States have always had close links, a new one being the Valka cogeneration plant on the border of Latvia and Estonia that began operation in October last year. Both countries could beneft from the electricity it generates but, for now, Latvia is buying the power. There is talk of expanding supplies across
the border to Estonia, whose nationals already work at the facility. The site is in a town through which the international border between the two states passes. Estonians call the town Valga, Latvians call it Valka. The plant operator Eneft Power and Heat Valka was previously Valkas Bioenergo kompanija before it was taken over by Estonia’s Eesti Energia in 2011. The company’s site is a few hundred metres from the border on the Latvian side. The town’s residents are the key benefciaries of the plant, says Kalev Martin, head of the Eneft Power and Heat Valka board. ‘Because of this, the main outcome of the project is that Valka’s inhabitants are able to have one of the lowest heat tariffs in Latvia,’ he says. The charge stands at €48.59 (US$64.19)/MWh plus a tax of 21%. The Valka plant’s electricity capacity is 2.4 MW and its thermal capacity 8 MW, according to Martin. It was built by Dutch company Imtech Industry International, under an engineering, procurement and construction contract. Enefit Power and Heat Valka used to provide heat to the town from boiler houses that burned bio-fuel and fuel oil. These will still be used as reserve stock for meeting peak loads but fuel for the new plant is in the form of wood chips. Eesti Energia is owned by the Estonian government and operates in its Baltic State neighbours Latvia and Lithuania, as well as in the US and Jordan. The company operates locally under the name Eesti
Energia and as Enefit for international operations. The new plant processes local fuel with greater effciency than the district heating plant it replaces. It generates electricity for Latvia’s power network, operated by energy company Sadales tikls. Financial support for the plant’s €10 million cost of construction came in the form of €3.5 million from renewable energy budgets within the EU’s structural funds for regional development. The remainder came from the operating company’s own capital, as well as private loans. Sandor Liive, chairman of Eesti Energia, has welcomed the launch as a strategic move for the company, saying it is ‘essential that we can also supply local electricity on the Latvian market. From now on, Eneft will try to increase its market share in Latvia, doing so thanks to electricity produced on the spot.’ Automation is a feature of Valka. A conveyor transports the wood chip fuel to the furnace, which creates high-pressure steam to drive a turbine connected to a generator. Burning gases from the furnace fow through a cleaning system, ensuring few pollutants are emitted. All the systems are run by computers from the control room, which can also be accessed using remote devices. ‘Currently we are learning to operate the plant but from next year we plan to test operating the plant with only one operator

in one shift. Additional specialists will be present in the plant during working hours of 8 am to 5 pm,’ says Martin. Enefit supports CHP and renewable energy plants, regarding them as a means to guarantee competitive heat and electricity prices compared with the use of fossil fuels, which are often costly. The company also sources the wood chips locally, with competing suppliers keeping fuel prices down. Enefit points to other opportunities for new power plants in the Baltic area that use waste as fuel, noting its already successfully implemented waste-toenergy project, Iru, near Tallinn. ‘Enefit is ready to acquire and realise fnancially reasonable, new production projects in the home market area. We are targeting the renewable source side as well, including biomass and wind,’ says Martin. SOLAR DESALINATES SEAWATER Cyprus’s recent bailout by the International Monetary Fund, the EU and the European Central Bank is evidence of its dire economic situation. Yet the south part of the island – which is not politically connected to the north, a self-declared
separate state that is under Turkish rule – is performing cutting-edge research on cogeneration based on solar energy and linked to desalination. The Cypriot government has put in place strong incentives for the development of CHP in the last two years. Meanwhile, researchers and utility authorities have worked together to develop innovative solutions to Cyprus’s resource needs, notably its thirst for drinking water from a reliable source. The result is a solar energy and desalination project by the Energy, Environment and Water Research Centre of the Cyprus Institute that has been developed in collaboration with the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, the US-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the US-based University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The scheme is showing great promise. Cyprus Institute professors Aristides Bonanos and John Georgiadis at its Athalassa campus in Nicosia have supervised the development of technology for a solar-powered desalination unit that is now undergoing trials. It has a continuous energy production capacity of 10 kW
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
thermal and will produce about 1.5 m3 of fresh water daily. A cogeneration plant of this type produces two products: electricity and water. ‘The division of driving heat between the two can vary depending on market needs,’ says Bonanos. ‘For instance during the night there is a minimum in electricity consumption, so the plant could reduce its electricity output and increase its water output.’ The plant is being scaled up to a larger version that will be operational by summer 2014. It uses heliostats and a central receiver to harvest solar radiation and uses thermal energy storage in molten salts to ensure continuous operation. Its thermodynamically-optimised Rankine cycle system produces power that allows the distillation of seawater. Bonanos says: ‘The plant will have a capacity of 50 kW thermal. The heliostat feld will have a refective area of approximately 250 m2, concentrating solar energy onto an innovative integrated receiver and storage system, designed by the Cyprus Institute. The receiver will transfer energy to molten salt, which is stored in a tank with capacity 600 kWh.’

CHP Precipitation has dropped noticeably in the past few years and climate models predict a trend of diminishing rainfall. A sustainable desalination process may offer a viable, long-term solution to Cyprus’s water crisis while avoiding the release of greenhouse gases that would further spur climate change, worsening precipitation and water scarcity.

Research driving the construction of this plant included a technical and economic feasibility study under the supervision of the institute’s Professor Costas Papanicolas into the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated seawater using solar energy. The study identifed technologies suitable for island and coastal environments, and researched the economic viability of such a system by simulating a 4 MWe plant. The new plant is being built off Cyprus’s coast to demonstrate the cogeneration concept in marine conditions, and test components and subsystems prior to commercial implementation. This innovative thermal desalination system will use a multiple-effect distillation technique, Bonanos says, that ‘uses heat to evaporate a quantity of seawater. The resulting vapours are pure water, which, when condensed, are the distillate product of the process. However, during condensation of the vapour, additional heat is released, which can be used for evaporation of a new quantity of seawater, thus leading to a recycling of energy and increase in the process efficiency. The innovation of the system is to use solar energy to provide the initial heat required to drive the process.’ One fundamental question the project aims to address is where the optimal sources are from which thermal energy
20
can be drawn to drive this distillation so it is most effcient. R e s e a rc h a s s o c i a t e d w i t h t h e demonstration plant will show to what extent the distillation unit can operate at variable loads, in contrast with current industrial practice.
THERE IS A THIRST FOR SMALL-FOORPRINT, ACOUSTICALLY INSULATED SYSTEMS The work is being organized under the umbrella of the Cyprus Institute’s ongoing STEP-EW project, which is co-ordinated by Papanicolas. It is being funded through the EU’s INTERREG III Greece–Cyprus 2007–13 Community Initiative, part of an EU programme that funds joint-development projects that can assist the economies of neighbouring countries in the bloc. Money is also flowing from the EU’s European Regional Development Fund and the Greece and Cyprus governments. The project will also identify alternative suitable deployment locations for similar projects in the eastern Mediterranean. The project addresses a key concern in the wider Mediterranean region: a severe water scarcity that results from the arid climate and the consequences of climate change.
PACKAGED UNITS DEVELOPMENTS Technology in the market for packaged cogeneration continues to be driven by demand for energy cost reduction, carbon reduction and resilience of supply, says Ian Hopkins, sales director for ENER-G Combined Power. This UK-based company has installed natural gas and biogas fuelled units ranging from 10 kW to 2 MW in the UK, continental Europe, US, Australia and Canada, and has been developing and selling new models. Hopkins says 150 units passed through its Manchester base in the 12 months to August. ‘We are seeing demand from hospitals, manufacturing, data centres and other such mission-critical environments, and retailers, local and central governments, agriculture, hotels and the leisure sector,’ he explains. In particular there is a thirst for small-footprint, acoustically insulated systems where space is at a premium and noise control is an issue, he adds. In response, ENER-G has developed a Mark II version of its E50 natural gas fuelled system, redesigned to optimize space. Electrical output is 50 kWe, total heat output 79 kWth and fuel input 148 kW/164 kW. It employs a four-stroke reciprocating MAN E 0834 E 302 engine. The E50 Mark II is the smallest and lightest cogeneration package from ENER-G, says Hopkins. ‘The cost and size reduction has been implemented without any reduction in performance or reliability.’ A spokesman for ENER-G said that the frst order had been received and the product was ready for release in the UK, Europe and globally. ENER-G also launched its Universal range in summer 2012, claiming it was one of the smallest, lightest and quietest
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
CHP outdoor, fully-packaged cogeneration product ranges available globally. This range includes electrical outputs from 90 kW to 125 k W, and was developed in collaboration with UK supermarket giant Tesco, which wanted a smaller footprint system that offers the same energy cost and carbon savings as large CHP technologies, but which is faster to install and commission, and has a reduced environmental impact in its manufacture. The Universal system has the power and same 90% efficiency as the firm’s traditional large containerised systems but the products are packed into an aesthetically appealing weatherproof enclosure some 40% smaller, 3.5 tonnes lighter and 5 dBA quieter. According to ENER-G, it had been operating in 27 Tesco stores by this July, when rigorous monitoring demonstrated ‘impressive cost and carbon reduction’. Hopkins adds that another consumer trend that his company is seeking to meet is for improved control technologies to ensure optimized performance and improved reporting data. These would help companies ‘meet compliance and corporate social responsibility requirements, while providing data for claiming financial incentives and tax exemptions’, he says. He stresses that ENER-G is planning a Q4 2013 launch of E-POWER, a new, CHP control system offering enhanced reporting functionality and wider compatibility with existing site energy management systems. It will interface with E-MAGINE, ENER-G’s new building energy management system. In June, Ger man inter national engineering group 2G Energy AG announced production had begun of a dedicated packaged cogeneration system that employs an internal combustion engine that runs on hydrogen, a combination which the company claims is a groundbreaking design internationally. The systems are set up to burn hydrogen but remain based on the same modular 6- and 12-cylinder engine series that powers many 2G cogeneration products fuelled by natural gas, biogas or speciality gases. Fluctuating hydrogen

produced by electrolysis is captured by patented technology for storage as a solid metal hydride at low pressure. This greatly improves the security of hydrogen storage, 2G explained. Storage creates a permanent supply of hydrogen fuel for the engines, which can also be run on natural gas. Its IL6 and V12 hydrogen-fuelled engines power 2G’s agenitor 306 (250 kWe) and 312 (450 kWe) natural gas-fuelled cogeneration systems. The hydrogen models offer an electrical efficiency of up to 41%, total efficiency close to 85% and near zero emissions of regulated pollutants and CO2. NOx emissions are also reduced by more than 75%. The first units have been installed at Germany’s Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt Airport energy station. More hydrogen-fuelled cogeneration systems will reach customers later this year, 2G says. A company spokesperson adds that 2G is continuing research into next-generation hydrogen internal combustion engines with features to further boost power and fuel economy. GROUNDBREAKING TRIAL Results of a groundbreaking micro-CHP trial in Malta are expected in late September following delivery of a high
European Cogen/CHP Buyer’s Guide 2013
energy density Stirling engine for an EU-funded DiGeSPo project. Distributed CHP GEneration from small size concentrated Solar Power (DiGeSPo) is a €4.54 million, three-year project that has installed a pilot micro-CHP plant at the pharmaceuticals manufacturing site of Arrow Pharm, a subsidiary of US drugs giant Actavis. It has involved building a modular 1–3 kWe, 3–9 kWth system with a longer-term goal of providing electrical power, heating and cooling for single and multiple domestic dwellings and other small commercial, industrial and public buildings. The technology involves concentrator optics with moving and tracking components; evacuated tube collectors acting as solar absorbers; a heat transfer fuid and the Stirling engine designed by project co-ordinators at research institute Fondazione Bruno Kessler of Trento, Italy; a generator for the engine; and heating and cooling systems. Parabolic dishes of 40 cm diameter concentrate solar radiation onto evacuated tubes through which thermal fuid fows and reaches temperatures of 250ºC–350ºC. This allows the engine to cogenerate heat and power by recovering its own heat. The project aims to achieve a global effciency of 60–70% compared

ENER-G’s Universal range was developed in collaboration with British supermarket chain Tesco
with incident solar radiation. This would represent a step-change improvement as similar plants achieve only about 40%, the project says. One goal of DiGeSPo is to incorporate this small hybrid system into residential buildings. The scope of the project has gone from initial concept to development. Its modelling has included the simulation of sub-modules, followed by production and testing of prototypes, and production and feld trials of full system prototypes. If the results are a success, full dissemination and exploitation plans will be developed. Arrow’s involvement is purely as a host. Its own power needs are far in excess of what the micro-CHP unit can provide. ‘The project is looking very good,’ says Brian Restall, executive director of Malta-based Projects in Motion, the engineering research and consultancy company handling project management and infor mation dissemination for DiGeSPo. He says Arrow Pharm is
22
proving an ideal test bed: ‘It has hot water requirements and industrial space for us to lay out more than we need and where we can work in a clean and safe environment without creating any risk for surrounding properties. Also Actavis is extremely meticulous, and that has helped us to refne our protocols.’ Looking to the future, Restall suggested a successful concentrated solar power micro-CHP system could be useful in reducing Malta’s current almost complete dependence on fossil fuel. While a hot climate such as Malta’s would not fnd the solar thermal component necessary, the system’s potential to produce hot water for absorption chillers to cool homes would be of interest, he adds. ‘The heating component would defnitely be of interest further north in Europe, though.’ Restall says full results will be presented at a DiGeSPo workshop at the 2013 International Conference on

Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry, from 23-25 September in Freiburg, Germany, under the auspices of the International Energy Agency’s solar heating and cooling programme and the European Solar Thermal Industry Federation. Other partners in DiGeSPo are remotely-managed machine maker Electronic Machining of Italy; Politecnico di Milano of Italy; lighting and glass specialist NARVA Lichtquellen of Germany; Uppsala University in Sweden; and Sustainable Engine Systems of the UK. The British company is a research and development outft that licenses its technology of heat engines and compact heat exchangers that are manufactured by the selective laser melting method. D i G e S P o ’s p a r t f u n d i n g o f €3.27 million from the European Commission has been provided by the EU’s outgoing Seventh Framework Programme for research, which ends in December.
