Equations and opinions
A
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
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
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
useful knowledge for further expansion and
optimization of cogeneration and on-site
power production.

Building cathedrals
gives way to mass-
produced power sources
A
mong three themes
recently asserted by
energy guru Amory Lovins
as affecting the US energy
scene is that momentum is shifting,
not just from fossil-fuelled power plants
to renewables, but from centralized to
distributed generation.
Writing in the summer issue of
its Solutions Journal, Lovins, the
cofounder and now Chairman
Emeritus of the infuential Rocky
Mountain Institute, likens traditional
power station development projects to
building a cathedral, and distributed
generation units to mass-produced,
manufactured products. He is talking
mainly about solar photovoltaic (PV)
panels, but the analogy works almost
as well for slightly larger distributed
generation technologies, including
CHP.
The point has been made before
that although the emergence of utility-
scale large wind farms garner a great
deal of attention, the parallel growth
of building-integrated solar panels,
CHP schemes feeding industrial sites
and commercial buildings, and new
district energy schemes, is more
a revolution in size, location and
ownership of generating plant than
simply from fossil fuels to renewable
sources of energy.
With giant forest fres threatening
power (and water) transmission to
the city of San Francisco at the time
of writing, the need for population
centres and industry to be less reliant
on remote, centralized electricity
generation is emphasized further. US
power grids tend to be highly reliable,
but the consequences of occasional
failure can be enormous.
Lovins other two themes are that
progress is fnally being made in terms
of the effciency with which energy is
used, both in buildings and in cars;
and that renewable projects of all sizes
are making serious gains, not only in
world-leading Germany but also in
the US. Lovins sees total US electricity
consumption steadily shrinking in the
future, rather than following traditional
growth patterns as spending on utility
energy-effciency programmes grows
to serious levels.
Meanwhile, prices of solar power
units have fallen to a point where the
technology can undercut power even
from modern gas-fred power plants.
Solar power accounted, says Lovins,
for 49% of new generating capacity
added to US grids in the frst quarter
of this year.
While new cathedrals take lots of
money and time to build, Chinese
PV panel factories are churning
out products 24/7 and solar power
prices are falling steadily. But its not
all about size and number of units
Lovins suggests that local ownership
patterns are crucial too. Denmarks
30-year transition from centralized
coal-fred power plants to distributed
wind and cogeneration plants came
about partly because most of these
units are owned either by local
farmers or communities. Likewise,
half of the renewables schemes in
Germany are owned by its citizens or
communities.
Aside from renewables, district
energy schemes are usually owned,
if not operated by, local government
units with a brief to lower energy costs
for their own buildings and, in some
cases, for publicly-owned housing,
alongside local business premises.
Operators of campus-based schemes
are in direct control of their own
energy costs.
Its certainly true, particularly in
Europe, that over recent years the
green agenda has favoured the
development of electricity-generating
renewables much more than energy
effciency, even though the impact
using (and generating) energy at
higher effciencies can have a similar
impact on carbon emissions. And
small-scale, high-effciency plants are
more easily fnanced, quicker to build,
and deliver considerable to benefts
to electricity grids.
This last advantage is diffcult to
quantify or monetize, but operators
of power grids fed from multiple
small sources with a variety of
technologies have a more resilient
power distribution system. Citizens
of San Francisco may be about to
experience the opposite of this.
Lovins is not complacent, though,
suggesting that the battle for what
he calls a more effcient, diverse,
distributed, renewable electricity
system is far from won. Plenty of
barriers still need to be dismantled to
enable the full transformation.

iven that gridlock in
the US Congress and
on the energy policy
scene in Washington
seems to be a semi-permanent state,
a great deal of the activity has been
shifted to the states that are not as
politically tied in knots.
The energy supply problems
experienced in the Northeast of
the US require immediate action to
make sure that the electric grid is
more resilient in the event another
weather event akin to Hurricane
Sandy should strike the region,
and cannot wait for the gridlock in
Washington to be resolved. Thus,
much of the work on policies and
programmes that can provide a
solution has shifted to these states.
That is why the most recent
meeting of the National Association
of Regulatory Utility Commissioners
(NARUC) was of great interest to
policy makers, as well as those
seeking creative solutions and
actions to the energy policy gridlock.
NARUC brings together energy
regulators from around the US, as well
as representatives from international
regulatory bodies for a dialogue on
the issues of the day. The Summer
Meeting included a great deal of
discussion of subjects relevant to the
decentralized energy community,
such as microgrids, integration of
renewable energy resources and
distributed generation.
Of particular interest was a
discussion on the Implications of
Distributed Energy Resources on
Regulatory Policies that addressed
a report from the Critical Consumer
Issues Forum (CCIF), a group that
brings together state regulators,
consumer advocates and utilities.
As the cost of solar PV has
dropped precipitously and rooftop
installations have soared, this has
given rise to a number of concerns
about the impact on the utility
business model, especially where
these distributed resources are
allowed to be net metered with the
grid. While distributed generation
offers a number of system and
customer benefts, such as
providing a cleaner source of power
generation and a more diversifed
portfolio of generation assets that
can provide greater system reliability
and security, many utilities view this
as a competitive threat. The CCIF
report identifed 21 principles in the
areas of fnancial and regulatory
issues; market development and
deployment issues; consumer issues;
and safety, reliability and system
planning issues. One of the fnancial
and regulatory principles states:
DER incentives should be based
on clear policy objectives and
periodically reevaluated based
on market conditions. Once the
underlying policy objectives are
met or as the technologies become
cost-competitive or cost-prohibitive,
such incentives should be modifed
or discontinued.
The report further clarifes that
incentives include any net metering
arrangement that provides benefts
exceeding the underlying value of
the energy received from that DER.
Interestingly, just days before the
NARUC session, Fitch, which provides
credit ratings and analyses of
utilities, sounded the warning bells
over net metering in a report that
states that the destabilization of the
power markets in Spain from feed-in
tariffs and net metering incentives is
a cautionary tale for the US.
So with existing incentives for
distributed generation under fre from
regulators, consumer advocates,
utilities and rating agencies, the
future of net metering is uncertain,
even though these policies are
proven solutions to creating a more
diverse and robust energy delivery
system that can respond to storms
and other events. CHP systems are
typically either ineligible for net
metering or severely restricted in
how they may participate. If we want
to be ready for the next Hurricane
Sandy, the states would be wiser to
consider how to expand incentives
so that all distributed resources can
participate, rather than engage in a
dialogue on their demise.

The UKs 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 Sustain-
able Chemistry will provide
chemistry laboratory facilities
for 100 researchers and is be-
ing part-funded by GlaxoSmith-
Kline. It is expected that the
laboratory will become carbon
neutral after 25 years of opera-
tion.
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.
UKS FIRST CARBON NEUTRAL LABORATORY ANNOUNCED
A research report by the
American Council for an
Energy Effcient Economy
states that utilities could
reap substantial benefts
by investing in and encour-
aging new combined heat
and power systems.
It says the major benefts
CHP offers to utilities include
cost-effectiveness, fast de-
ployment, and loss avoid-
ance and reduced strain on
transmission and distribu-
tion systems.
The report states that
policy and regulatory
changes that would allow
or encourage utilities to take
advantage of these ben-
efts 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 re-
turns on investments in CHP,
as allowed for other genera-
tion resources.
The report also advises
encouragement of utili-
ties to offer dedicated CHP
programmes within overall
energy effciency program-
ming, and offering perfor-
mance incentives for excep-
tional effciency results.
Report urges
utilities to
invest in CHP
technology
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 high-
effciency internal combustion
engines, and that is the core
process at the centre of the
facility.
Combining Nexterras
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 small-
scale trials, GE and Nexterra
approached UBC to host a
larger demonstration project.
Dubbed the Bioenergy
Research and Demonstration
Facility, the equipment is
housed in a solid wood
building on UBCs Vancouver
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 UBCs natural gas
consumption.
Once the system logs
more runtime, GE said that
it will begin promoting
the cogeneration system
worldwide.
GE is now working with
Nexterra to explore the use of
syngas from other renewable
sources, such as biosolids from
sewage treatment plants, to
fuel the Jenbacher.

As part of the drive for
greater energy effciency,
Saudi Aramco has signed
three new energy conversion
agreements with a Japanese-

Trans Gulf has emerged from
a rigorous process to win the
contract to develop Empowers
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 Gulfs experience
in district cooling plants
includes the operation and
maintenance of Business
Bays District Cooling Plant
2 and Dubai Health Care
Citys DCP, as well as the
reticulation works, operation
and maintenance of Business
Bays District Cooling Plant 3.
The project will involve the
construction of one building
with a built-up area of almost
9,500m 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.
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.
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 EIBs
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.
The European Union and
the EIB have both made
climate change mitigation
and adaptation a top policy
priority.
Weltec Biopower has won
its frst contract in Belgium,
having been requested by
NPG Energy to set up a biogas
plant in the Limburg region.
The 2.4-MW plant will power
around 5000 households and
is set to go live in spring 2014.
The 19 GWh that will be
generated every year will be
consumed by the Spin-group
BV, which needs the electricity
for its production facilities
in which special carpet
yarns are manufactured in a
demanding polymerisation
process.
The plant concept ensures
effciency in all areas. The
generated heat will be utilised
directly on site: the digestate
will be extracted directly from
the 2000m3 second-stage-
digester in order to be dried
with the entire heat produced
by the plant and the dry
fertiliser will then be sold to fruit
and winegrowers across the
border.
A highly effcient mix from
grease separators and a pre-
mixed, ready-to-use substrate
will account for another major
portion of the input. Apart from
plant residue, this mix will also
contain fats and vegetable
waste. Additionally, the two
bioreactors of a capacity of
4700m3 each will be fed with
soap water from biodiesel
production and cereals prune.
This substrate mix is typical
for Belgium, where biogas
digesters have always been
charged with diverse mixtures.

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 Jelgavas district

LARGEST BIOMASS PLANT
Bharathi Indian Polar Station,
the scientifc research facility
located in the Antarctic Circle,
is being powered by combined
heat and power technology
since becoming operational
last year.
The facility (pictured), which
is comprised of shipping
containers, uses three
units, fueled by kerosene, to
generate heat and power.
Commissioned by Indias
National Center For Antarctic
And Ocean Research and
designed by Hamburg-based
BOF Architekten, the new
station is located Larsmann Hills
section of northeast Antarctica.
The treaty that governs
international research stations
on the continent stipulate
that the structure must have
the ability to be completely
disassembled and removed
from the frigid landscape
without leaving a trace, so the
designers immediate turned
to shipping containers as
their building medium, reports
EarthTechling.
Built on stilts, the Bharathi
Polar Station has three foors,
comprised of 134 shipping
containers. The containers,
which were prefabricated in
Germany, are interlocked and
covered by an insulated skin
and outer shell.
Inside the facility are 24
single and double rooms, a
kitchen, dining room, library,
ftness room, offces, lounge,
and an operating theatre
along with laboratories, storage
areas, assorted technical
spaces, and a workshop.
Nippon Paper Industries
USAs 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 cone-
shaped 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.

Reliable heart for your
cogeneration unit
The Mexican government
has unveiled a bill that would
open up more opportunities for
cogeneration to fourish in the
country.
While the bill is mainly
concerned with changing the
Mexican constitution to let it
partner with private companies
to fnd and produce oil and
gas in a country, it also seeks
to liberalise Mexicos electricity
sector by allowing private frms
to produce and sell electricity
to consumers.
A third of Mexicos electricity
is generated by private frms
under a cogeneration plan
where they produce power
for themselves and sell the
extra to the state electric
utility.
If the legislation passes it
will continue to encourage an
environment where combined
heat and power can grow.
The move would end the
monopoly of the Federal
Electricity Commission, poten-
tially lowering electricity prices
for companies and residents.
The bill now goes to Mexicos
congress.
The conservative opposition
has said it would support the
proposals, giving Pea Nietos
Institutional Revolutionary Party
the two-thirds majority it will
need to pass the constitutional
changes.

ASEANs decentralized energy sector
The impetus behind decentralized energy development in the ASEAN

that exist, counterbalanced by the challenges that remain.

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
(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
dont 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
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 small-
scale 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 regions generation,
and about 22% comes from
combustible biomass and
waste that is ineffcient and
environmentally unsustainable,
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
1309cospp_17 17 9/9/13 11:27 AM
according to research by
Melissa Low, energy analyst
at the National University of
Singapores 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
Administrations (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
Vietnam alone, 36 GW of coal-
fred 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
$0.35/kWh or fve or six times
the average price charged
by the government utility for
electricity, according to the
HarvardRajawali report.
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
schooling for children and
a rise in small businesses
installation in the Indonesian
city of Fakfak, following
installation of its MTU Series
1600 engines. Fakfak, which
has a population of 69,000
people, is separated from
other communities by poorly
maintained mountain roads,
had relied on power from
neighbouring towns, which
meant blackouts were the
norm. The local MTU generators
now maintain Fakfaks
2.4 MWh peak demand.
Countries like Vietnam,
Lao PDR, India, Myanmar,
Philippines, Pakistan and others
generate a lot of electricity from
diesel, as the grid is unreliable.
The private sector companies
simply cannot rely on the grid
and they are converting to
alternative and renewable
energy as an option to offset
the diesel energy prices,
confrms Samudrala
Renewable goals
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.
Thailand is the furthest
along among the ASEAN
when it comes to introducing
on-site generation, according
to Suryadi.
Its progress stems back to
the governments introduction
of the Small Power Producer
(SPP) programme in 1992, and
Very Small Power Producer
(VSPP) programme in 2001.
Under the programmes,
the state-owned Electricity
Generation Authority of
Thailand (Egat) was required
to purchase power from small
cogeneration or renewable
projects. Most of the resulting
projects were developed by
local companies to fulfl their
own energy needs.
Looking forward, Thailand
plans to continue to add
more CHP. From 2012 to 2019,
the government forecasts
that Thailand will add about
5100 MW of cogeneration,
with an additional 1368 MW
from 2020 to 2030, according
to Smart/Intelligent Grid
Systems Development and
Deployment, authored by
Samudrala and published
by the World Alliance for
Thai Decentralized Energy
Association.
In the Philippines, the
countrys Energy Regulatory
Commission (ERC) in July
issued new net metering
rules for on-site renewable
installations not exceeding
100 kW. And last year the ERC
approved a FIT for several
renewable energy resources,
including run-of-river hydro,
biomass, wind, and solar. The
fnal solar FIT of 9.69 PhP/kWh
($0.22/kWh) was far lower
than the originally proposed
17.95 PhP/kWh. ERC adjusted
the rate to account for
falling solar panel prices. The
government plans to review
the FIT rates in three years or
when the nation meets the
Department of Energys goals.
The Philippines is striving for
100% renewable generation
within a decade and hopes
to triple its renewable capacity
by 2030; it already gets more
than 50% of its electric supply
from geothermal, biomass and
hydro. The Philippines is the
second largest geothermal
generator, behind the US.
Indonesia, which has
about 43.5 GW of installed
capacity, gets about half of
its power from coal. Nine per
cent of its generation comes

Distributed generation can
serve Indonesia in remote
locations where fuel delivery

Case, by the Coordinating
Ministry of Economic Affairs.
The ministry also points to
non-intermittent decentralized
energy such as small hydro
as way to avert line losses and
improve voltage regulation
and grid stability. Indonesia
already has about 20 mini-
hydro stations in operation,
totalling about 44 kW, and
over 700 kW in various stages
of development. The country
also is pressing forward with
an aggressive concentrating
solar initiative.
The Future
While many of the countries
have renewable energy goals
that can help spur distributed
generation, it remains to be
seen if they can translate
goals into reality. All of these
countries have excellent
renewable energy goals on
paper, Samudrala says.
ASEAN countries are trying
to better their overall power
sector by creating a regional
power grid across member
countries. The goal is to
improve energy supplies so
that the countries can both
meet growing demand and
promote cleaner energy.
Suryadi agrees that the
spirit of the region favours
regional integration as the best
way to cope with its various
energy problems. This does
not mean that the region will
operate as one power entity,
but it is likely to consolidate into
sub-regions to pool indigenous
energy resources.
For example, the Mekong
Area, (Thailand, Cambodia,
Myanmar, Vietnam, Lao PDR)
are now working together to
develop large hydroelectricity,
he adds.
The spirit of energy market
integration will defnitely boost
the installation of on-site
generation in the region, he
says. A more open power
trade regime in the region will
encourage the development
of renewable sources such as
solar, hydro and wind for power
generation through on-site
generation. And hence the
total cost of meeting region-
wide electricity demand will
be reduced.
But Suryadi is not saying
it will be easy. The market
integration in the region
remains a challenging task,
especially to deal with the fast
growth of electricity demand in
all ASEAN member countries.
FuelCell Energys Bottone
sees problems as well. The
good news is that there is
probably demand in those
countries. The bad news is they
are not organized for it yet.
FuelCell Energy, which
manufactures more than
50 MW of fuel cells per year
at its Torrington, Connecticut
plant in the US, has continued
to expand its infuence in Asia.
The company in late 2012
executed a series of strategic
initiatives with POSCO Energy,
including a license agreement
under which POSCO will
manufacture the companys
complete carbonate fuel cell
technology in South Korea and
sell them throughout Asia.
POSCO Energy, Koreas
largest independent
power producer, intends to
produce 140 MW of fuel cell
components annually. The
company expects to begin
manufacturing in early 2015.
But would Bottone tackle
another launch and learn in
the ASEAN region if he had it
to all over again? Yes, he says,
that is the only way policy and
standards will improve and the
regions markets grow. These
Southeast Asian countries
have a need for a renewable
distributed energy strategy,
there is no question. The
question is when.

I
n the early 1990s,
Power for a changing
world was a well-known
marketing slogan
used by Wrtsil Power
Plants. Today that slogan
is even more appropriate,
especially in Europe, with
new renewable power
generation, such as wind
and solar, now a signifcant
part of the energy market.
The notable impact of
renewable production
changes many operational
set-ups, and presents new
challenges for the energy
industry. At the same time,
the European Commission
and European Parliament
have set, and will set forth,
energy strategies up to 2020
and 2050 that, in addition to
the use of renewable energy,
focus very much on carbon-
free, environmentally-friendly
power generation, and on
the effcient utilization of
primary fuels. This will involve
a major restructuring of the
conservative European energy
industry and market.
The work around these EU
strategies aims also to give a
well-defned framework, with
harmonized common rules
and regulations for the industry
to be equally applied in all
Member States, thus providing
the basis for investments and
healthy growth in the industry.
In order to fulfl these strategies,
new innovative solutions and
fexible multi-purpose plants
are needed in a transparent,
free-trade market with, to a
large extent, distributed energy
production.
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.
Today, the country scores
very high marks for its amount
of installed renewable and
wind production, as well
as for its very effcient CHP
(combined heat and power)
electricity production, with
plants distributed evenly across
the entire country. Skagen
Varmevrk is a typical Danish
district heating company, with
its heat and power production
based to a large extent on a
gas engine plant using three
Denmark has taken a proactive role in adapting to the changing needs of the energy market. The rest of

Wrtsil 28SG generating
sets. This article looks at how
Skagen Varmevrk manages
this plants 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 Denmarks energy
consumption for residential
heating is generated by
those district heating plants,
including Skagen Varmevrk.
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 Varmevrk 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 Varmevrk was
connected to the national
gas grid system in 1988,
where a new boiler station,
operating on natural gas
was commissioned. Precisely
ten years later it was time to
commission the fully automatic
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 Varmevrk
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 Varmevrks
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 industrys own
schedules and working hours.
One of the three Wrtsil 28SG generating sets that power the CHP plant
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
1309cospp_23 23 9/9/13 11:27 AM
These two additional heat
sources adequately fulfl the
citys minimum heat demand
during the summer period.
Skagen Varmevrk
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
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 MWh
th
to achieve even
greater fexibility for the plant
on the power markets. The
bigger heat storage capacity
between the heat production
and the district heating
network naturally adds
more operational freedom.
Managing production
Like all district heating
companies, Skagen
Varmevrk 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
of the plants 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
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
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
7080% load, where again
the gas engines high and
constant part load effciency is
invaluable.
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 MW
e
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
district or area.
The fgure on p.26 is of
a typical production track
record for the heat production
during a full calendar week.
The diagram shows also the
spot prices on the electricity
markets, the regulating and
power reserve markets, heat
demand and production, as
well as the level of stored heat
in the heat accumulator.

number of daily starts and stops.
Normally though, as indicated in
the diagram, once or twice a
day is enough. The marginal
cost of the plant, in conjunction
with the electricity spot prices
and possible ancillary service,
forms the operation profle.
Electricity spot prices decrease
at night and the engines
are usually stopped. In this
operational mode, the total
yearly running hours of the
engines are nowadays around
2000 hours. The engines are
seldom run during weekends
when the electricity spot prices
are low.
From the fgure above, you
can also see that the electrical
boiler is operating mainly
during the night and is then
participating in both of the
electricity markets. It is able to
act fast as a load for getting rid
of excess electricity in the grid,
or to control the frequency
of the grid. The heat from this
boiler is fed to storage and to
the district heating network.
New harmonized rules
The European Energy Strategy
2020 identifes energy effciency
as one of the key priorities of
the EUs energy policy. The 20%
goal for renewable energy is
broadly on track, while the 20%
primary energy saving target is
still a long way off. The recently
agreed Energy Effciency
Directive (EED) aims to give
new momentum to energy
effciency measures.
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
heat storage, which the EED
highlights as an area requiring
development. In situations
with for instance, excess wind
power, this energy could be
stored for heating purposes.
Engine plants easily fulfl the
high effciency cogeneration
criteria presented in the
EED, as well as fast start-up
and turn down capabilities.
Furthermore, compared to
pure peaking plants, the
annual electrical effciency
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.
In order to fulfl the EUs
energy policy and strategies,
there are a number of
different rules and regulations
being worked on in order to
harmonize the systems and
operations between member
states. The harmonisation
of all the different network
codes for the power and
electricity industry will
provide a framework for the
whole Europe. The intention
is that electricity trading
between member states,
between transmission system
operators, and between
distribution system operators,
runs smoothly and fuently
throughout Europe.
Advanced thinking
Skagen Varmevrk also has
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.

Stable growth is predicted for the global power plant services and maintenance market

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 &
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
Europes 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
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

rotor inspections and repairs, hot gas path and
combustion component repairs, and replacement components.
1309cospp_29 29 9/9/13 11:27 AM
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 ISPs 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
countrys 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

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 doesnt 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 facilitys 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
wouldnt 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?
It appears that despite
much of the world continuing
to experience the challenges
of an economic downturn
business is booming for ISPs.
Constraints to growth
However, before we become
carried away with all this
positivity, it would be fanciful
to believe no barriers exist to
the development of the IGT
services and maintenance
sector.
In Bakharevas 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

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.

Fuel fexible industrial cogeneration
S
outh Koreas 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 km
2
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 facilitys
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
facilitys energy balance.
This is despite the huge
fnancial stake in the correct,
uninterrupted operation
of Yeosus 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
complexs various processes
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 self-
generates 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 525C,
40% is high-pressure steam
at 4100 kPa and 375C, 22%
is medium-pressure steam
at 1600 kPa and 275C, and
30% is low-pressure steam at
450 kPa and 185C.
The complexs 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 complexs
utilities facility since 2003. This
turbine and its heat recovery
steam generator (HRSG)
raised power generated there
from 25 MWe to 67 MWe, which
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.
Flexibility
brings economies

brought the self-production
ratio to nearly 45% in 2012. It
also added the peak steam-
generation 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,
there has been no operational
combustion issue to-date.
Table 1 summarizes the
main operational data of the
plant from 2003 to 2012. The
operation time on backup fuel
was less than 0.1%.
Fuel fexibility
But where Yeosus CHP
facility leads the world is in
its commercial use of C9+
aromatics by-products as fuel
Petrochemical plants
employ large cracking units
that require signifcant volumes
of noble hydrocarbons as feed-
stocks. 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 economics of using
these secondary energy
resources and to strictly limit
the use of any other
commercial fuel are
favourable, a general rule that
applies to all CHP projects in
petrochemicals aaplications.
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. Heavy-
duty gas turbines have many
advantages here.
In the case of GEs E-class
units, which include the Frame
6B, 7E and 125 MWe ISO 9E, they
have demonstrated the ability
to accommodate a wide
range of gas and liquid fuels, a
quality allowed by the physics
of combustion in gas turbines.
These fuels vary from LPG
1
to
distillates
2,3,
ash-forming fuels
4
and fuels that are by-products
of industrial processes. Figure
2 shows how heavy-duty gas
turbines can burn a wide
range of fuels
2
.
Gas turbines are
continuous-fow, steady-fame
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 complexs 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 zones
5
.
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
the region of naphtha fuels.
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

require similar engineering
measures as naphtha
3,6,7
.
They also have higher auto-
ignition temperatures and
worse smoke numbers than
homologous paraffnic
compounds.
Petrochemical plants use
by-product mono-aromatics
as feedstocks. But fuctuating
demand for petrochemical
products can lead to excesses
of these fractions. 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,
make combustion more
complicated compared
with gas. Although aromatic
fuels are very fuid, which
means they do not suffer
from incomplete vaporization
during combustion unlike
viscous fuels and the
resulting soot when unburned
droplets leave the combustors,
a chemical limitation to their
combustion is still likely.
Combustion of liquid fuel
comprises two competing
main mechanisms: repetitive
cracking-oxidation that
leads to the formation of CO
2
and H
2
O, and pyrolysis, in
which polycyclic structures
form, followed by soot in the
micron-range size. This second
mechanism is favoured in
oxygen-depleted zones of
the combustion zone. Figure
3 illustrates what happens in
the case of three types of C10
hydrocarbon chains.
Table 2 summarises the
infuence of the properties
of liquid fuels on gas turbine
combustion and emissions.
A feld test using a so-called
benzene heart cut was
performed in a Frame 6B to
assess the feasibility of burning
mono-aromatic hydrocarbons.
It showed that burning mono-
aromatic fuels cleanly is
possible. Table 3 displays the
analysis
8
.
Another major beneft of
burning C9+ aromatics is that
combustion leads to emissions
of only moderate amounts
of CO
2
. At Yeosu it has also
cut SO
2
emissions by 750
tonnes ,compared with 0.1%
sulphur diesel oil since the
commissioning of the turbine.
Prime mover selection
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.
Experience with the Frame
6B has showed that it would
meet the requirements of the
plant designers. The prime
mover had to be of a reliable
and robust technology, with an
H/P ratio of 1.5:1, operational
fexibility that allowed fast starts
and load changes, highly
standardized maintenance,
and a large fuel experience
base.

compressor, a robust and
versatile combustion system,
with 10 can-annular chambers
and a three-stage expansion
turbine. 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.
The fast start-up sequence
enables synchronization with
the grid within 12 minutes
and access to full load
after a further 4 minutes.
This capability is paramount
in peak-shaving, but also
valuable in cogeneration
when provision has been
made for a bypass stack.
Concerning emissions
performance, the Frame 6B
can achieve very low NOX
emissions
5
25 ppmV of NOx
either via a dry low NOx system
(natural gas fring) or by
wet control consisting of the
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% O
2
in the
exhaust gas).
To maintain performance
over time, the Frame 6B
has an online/offine water
washing skid. Off-line washing
occurs only during scheduled
shutdowns as this minimizes
costly downtime. On-line
washing is performed every
day.
The HRSG used in the
CHP plant is a horizontal,
natural circulation boiler
from Daekyung Machinery &
Engineering that produces
75 tonnes/h of steam from
the average 95 MW of heat
captured from the gas turbine.
It is equipped with duct
burners to provide additional
and automatic fring to more
than double its output to
170 tonnes/h of steam in
5 minutes.
Trailblazing alternative
fuel use
The cogeneration units results
are mainly down to four
converging factors. The frst is a
relevant, maintenance-based
operational policy. Second
and third are the potential of
the Frame 6B and the intensive
exploitation of this potential
by experienced engineering
teams that have regularly
embarked on challenging
applications in new and
upgrade projects. Fourth is
the pro-active plant
management that has
anticipated seasonal and
long-term changes in demand
for heat and power.
More than 60% of aromatics
at the complex are used
routinely and reliably. Yeosu
represents an inroad into the
general use of such fuels and
another milestone on the way
to adapting power generation
to the fuel mixes of the future.

Novel, cost-effective fuel cell 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.
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 high-
energy 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
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
A UK-based clean energy frms revolutionary approach to hydrogen fuel cell technology, translates into

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
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.
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
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
hydrogen fuel cell has any
chance of becoming a viable
technology for mass-market
adoption.
Revolutionary approach
To tackle this problem, we
developed a revolutionary
new approach to fuel cell
technology. ACAL Energy-
designed 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.
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
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
membranes lifetime.
In contrast, FlowCath the
liquid catalyst dramatically
improves the fuel cells
durability. In the ACAL Energy
system, the liquid catalyst
is always in contact with
the membrane so it avoids
such extremes and therefore
lengthens the fuel cells
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
At the heart of ACAL Energys fuel cell system is FlowCath, a liquid catalyst that replaces up to 80% of the conventional
platinum catalyst
1309cospp_39 39 9/9/13 11:27 AM
at around 110C, signifcantly
higher than the 70C
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.
ACAL Energys technology
has effectively broken these
old rules.
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
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
20% degradation. Standard
PEM systems tend to decay at a
constant rate at approximately
30 V/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 Solvays 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 large-
scale 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 MADRIS INAUGURAL
MEETING
INDUSTRIAL COMPETITIVENESS, ENERGY SECURITY AND RELIABILITY TO BE
THE FOCUS OF CHP & WHP 2013 CONFERENCE
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 Commissions
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.
MADRIs 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.
Industrial competitiveness,
recent federal initiatives
and various state policies in
the US have spurred great
interest in combined heat and
power (CHP) and waste heat
to power (WHP). The Texas
Combined Heat and Power
Initiative (TXCHPI), The Heat is
Power Association (HiP), and
WADE are joining forces to
convene CHP2013 & WHP2013
to address these interests. The
conference and trade show
will be held 79 October at
the Crowne Plaza in Houston,
Texas, US.
In its fourth year, this
conference brings business
and energy leaders together
with industry experts, project
developers, policy specialists
and end-users to examine
new technologies, market
opportunities and installation
case studies of CHP and WHP..
The event also includes a
vibrant exhibit hall.
CHP systems, also known
as cogeneration, reduce fuel
costs associated with on-site
generation using natural
gas or biogas by taking full
advantage of waste heat
recovery to signifcantly
increase energy effciency.
CHP provides energy security
during times of grid strain and
extreme weather conditions,
and is gaining favour in
hospitals, universities, data
centres, manufacturers, and
other mission critical facilities.
WHP systems enhance
industrial effciency by
capturing waste heat
from industrial processes,
converting it to power, and
returning the power back into
the process or exporting it for
others to use.
E n e r g y - i n t e n s i v e
industries such as oil & gas
refneries, chemical facilities,
paper plants, steel mills,
cement plants and glass
manufacturers employ WHP
systems to generate power from
baseload waste heat, which is
produced on-site whenever
operations are running. WHP
systems, which require no
combustion and produce
no emissions, improve overall
industrial energy effciency
and competitiveness, and
are considered renewable
energy systems in over 15
states, making WHP a natural
and integral part of all clean
energy discussions.
Paul Cauduro, TXCHPI
Executive Director said: While
often overlooked, combined
heat and power and waste
heat to power technologies
are a signifcant part of the
nations clean energy and job
creation story. Implementation
of these technologies is a
logical decision for improving
energy security and reliability,
maintaining compliance with
environmental regulations,
and for increasing the
competiveness of our
nations manufacturing and
processing sector.

CHP
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 Europes 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 Unions (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
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 energy-
efficiency 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
l egi sl at or s under st ood t hat 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 Di rectorate 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 Europes
industrial competitiveness today and must
continue to play a key role in its industrial
growth in the future.
Given the EUs renewed commitment
to cogeneration in the EED and the EUs
need to defend the competitiveness of
European industry, where cogeneration
pl ays an i mportant, i n the gl obal
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
Growth despite setbacks
PART ONE
Finlands Fortum has invested heavily in the Baltic cogen sector, including a new waste-to-energy CHP plant in the Lithuania city of Klaipeda Source: Fortum
European Cogen/CHP Buyers Guide 2013 5
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
regions 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 Unions (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 regions 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
governments 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 CHPs 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 countrys
Energiewende strategy, which favours
energy saving and renewables, and gives
CHP a leading role.
In 2010 cogenerati on produced
90 TWh of electricity, or 15.4% of
Germanys total. With the Energiewende
now the countrys main policy driver in the
energy sector, this share is slated to rise to
25% by 2020.
Germanys 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 countrys 2012 CHP
law KWK-G proposed an increase in the
premiums, particularly for CHP projects
less than 2 MW.
The move recogni zed 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 governments
fnancial assistance for small CHP units as
an indication of continued growth: You
can get support from the government
for small utilities, and about 28,000
electricity generating units in Germany are
in the range of 150 kW, he says. Grants
for such units range from 15002000
(US$20002700) 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 family-
sized 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%
CHP
in 2012 through increased capacity, while
heat from renewable sources leapt by 7%.
The gover nment s Renewabl es
Obligation policy is partly driving growth
in renewables CHP by acknowledging
that quality-assured green-feedstock
cogenerati on 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.
Germanys 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 UKs 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 Grids Grain
liquefed natural gas (LNG) terminal.
New communi t y cogener at i on
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 governments 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 commi tment to a gas-fi red CHP
policy, says DR. Rotheray. The latest
commitment includes 9 million to help
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 countrys
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 3040% 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 Corporations
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 Mets 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 countrys
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 Latvias
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 0.25 MW.
In neighbouring Lithuania, CHP power
plants that use natural gas, biogas and
wood chips as fuel dominate.
CHPs growth in this country has been
slower than in Latvia, although Finnish
CHP
energy company Fortum has invested
heavily in the regions 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 citys 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 Lithuanias
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.

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 nations 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
Polands 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.
However, some cogener at i on
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 Pock, 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 Polands 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.
Polands capital is the best example of
the many cities that already use CHP to
provide residents with heat and electricity.
And whi l e the vast maj ori ty 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.
From l ast December, changes
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 schemes real
impact on the uptake of cogeneration and
Italys 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 Italys 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
Economi c Devel opment sai d more
significant growth is unlikely without a
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 countrys attractive
regulatory environment.
A national energy efficiency action
plan has particularly highlighted the
untapped potenti al for resi denti al
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 micro-
cogeneration 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 improve-
ments also helped the sector progress. For
example, the government clarifed rules
for administering and authorising small-
scale 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 Greeces cogeneration industry
has potential but needs government
recognition of CHPs 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 islands 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 el ectri ci ty 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 nations second plan for energy
effciency.
SPAIN DISAPPOINTS
One di sappoi ntment i n 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
countrys electricity generation, 25% of
its natural gas consumption and 40% of
natural gas used by Spanish industry.
B u t me a s u r e s i n c l u d i n g
e n e r gy r e f o r ms de c r e e R e a l
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 Asociacin
Espaola de Cogeneracin (ACOGEN).
The effects will be devastating for the
activity of the paper, ceramics, chemicals,
tiles and food industries, introducing
distortions in competition, it says.
Ant i ci pat ed 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 Spains 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
201011.
Spains overall electricity production
from cogeneration in 2011 was 34.6 GWh.
Of the countrys 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 Spains alternative energy institute the
Instituto para la Diversifcacin y Ahorro
de la Energa.
Many of these companies are opposing
the government plans. Manufacturers in the
country create 1520% of industrial GDP.
Among them, carmakers General Motors,
Opel and SEAT, energy and petrochemicals
companies CEPSA and BP, and food maker
Nestl backed an ACOGEN campaign in
June against government moves to hobble
cogeneration.
ROMANIAS FIGHT
Romani as cogenerati on 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
countrys 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,
presi dent of the Romani an Energy
Regulatory Authority (ANRE), contradicted
him: I dont 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 Romanian-
British 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 Romanian-
Swedish consortium Genesis Biopartner
opened the first cogeneration plant
fuelled with biogas. This 1 MW facility will
power manufacturing at the countrys meat
processing company Cris-tim.
FRANCE LASPSES
Government policy in France is threat-
ening 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 publ i c
investment subsidies of about 5 billion
that came with the promise that Frances
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
Estres-Mons in northern France.
The second project is a 16 MW
facility at Ajinomoto Foods Europes
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 Groups production facility in
Biganos in southwest France became
the countrys 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
i n the mi cro-CHP market too. The
gover nment has passed di recti ve
Rgl ementati on Ther mi que 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 EUs 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 EUs 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 directives
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 pl ants wi th a total output of
4085 MWe started operations, says
HERA. One reason is that Croatias
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.

Benefts of control go

Souce: Metso
CHP
T
he European cogeneration sector
has been l ooki ng 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 i mprovi ng 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 Pyykk, product
manager at Metso Automation, a business
division of Finlands 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 Pyykk. 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. Metsos 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
information pulled into the systems
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 & Milj 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 CO
2
emissions and the export
of surplus electricity to Swedens 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
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.
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 industrys
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 Metsos 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 Managements 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 chip-
burning 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 plants 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 Metsos Pyykk 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. Automations role is to take care of the

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 Switzerland-
headquartered 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, ABBs 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 operators 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 Americas
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 wont 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
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 Managements
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 4060% 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.

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 Italys CO

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
transmitters to send data on temperature
and pressure via a wireless gateway to the
plants 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 Emersons 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.

Members of a UK busi ness-l ed

feeding into a Smart Grid.
The organizations planning to go

100,000 ($155,000) from the British
government-backed Technology Strategy

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
operators (DNO) network management

calls active CHP-VPP (CHP-virtual power

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 requi red communi cati ons
infrastructure, the organizations conclude.
The consortium anticipates that by
2015 early-adopter DNOs globally will be
commissioning active, distributed demand

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.
Marti n Wi l cox, head of Future

CHP
If CHP in the region is to continue growing, the industry will have to persuade
different markets of cogenerations advantages. This showcase of projects of
different sizes indicates it is on the right track.
I
t is reassuring that amid Europes
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
suppor t . Ul t i mat el y cogener at i on
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 Germanys 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 FleXtras 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
Germanys 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 Jenbachers 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
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. Jenbachers new engine will assist
Germanys effort to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by 40% from 1990 levels
by 2020. The engines fast start-up will
add to the utilitys 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 Germanys 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 citys 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 FleXtras 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 units 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 70C and
a hot water temperature of 90C, says GE
in a background note about the project.
LOW-COST HEAT FROM WOOD
The Bal ti c States have al ways 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 Estonias Eesti Energia in 2011. The
companys site is a few hundred metres
from the border on the Latvian side.
The towns 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 Valkas 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 plants 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 Latvias power network, operated by
energy company Sadales tikls.
Financial support for the plants
10 million cost of construction came in
the form of 3.5 million from renewable
energy budgets within the EUs structural
funds for regional development. The
remainder came from the operating
companys own capital, as well as private
loans.
Sandor Li i ve, chai rman 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
The J920 FleXtra gas engine is currently the largest in GE Jenbachers range Source: GE
CHP
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-to-
energy 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
Cypruss 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
i n pl ace strong i ncenti ves for the
development of CHP in the last two
years. Meanwhile, researchers and utility
authorities have worked together to
develop innovative solutions to Cypruss
resource needs, notably its thirst for
drinking water from a reliable source.
The result is a solar energy and
desalination project by the Energy,
Envi ronment 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
Athal assa campus i n Ni cosi a 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
thermal and will produce about 1.5 m
3
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 capaci ty of 50 kW thermal . The
heliostat feld will have a refective area
of approximately 250 m
2
, 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.
The 10 million Valka biomass plant was part funded from renewable energy budgets with the EUs structural funds for regional development

CHP
Research driving the construction
of this plant included a technical and
economic feasibility study under the
supervision of the institutes 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 Cypruss
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
can be drawn to drive this distillation so it
is most effcient.
Research associ at ed wi t h t he
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 Institutes ongoing
STEP-EW project, which is co-ordinated by
Papanicolas. It is being funded through the
EUs INTERREG III GreeceCyprus 200713
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 EUs 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.
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 Cypruss
water crisis while avoiding the release of
greenhouse gases that would further spur
climate change, worsening precipitation
and water scarcity.
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
Inside the Valka Cogen plant, operated by Eneft Power and Heat Valka, a subsidiary of Eesti Energia
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 firms
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
hel p compani es meet compl i ance
and corporate soci al responsi bi l i ty
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-Gs
new building energy management system.
I n June, Ger man i nter nati onal
engi neeri ng group 2G Energy AG
announced production had begun of a
dedicated packaged cogeneration system
that employs an internal combustion
engi ne 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
engi nes power 2Gs ageni tor 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 CO
2
. NOx
emissions are also reduced by more than
75%.
The first units have been installed
at Germanys 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
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
13 kWe, 39 kWth system wi th 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
opti cs wi th movi ng and tracki ng
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
concent r at e sol ar r adi at i on ont o
evacuated tubes through which thermal
fuid fows and reaches temperatures of
250C350C. This allows the engine to
cogenerate heat and power by recovering
its own heat. The project aims to achieve
a global effciency of 6070% compared
Inside the Valka Cogen plant, operated by Eneft Power and Heat Valka, a subsidiary of Eesti Energia
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.
Arrows 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 i nfor mati on di ssemi nati on for
Di GeSPo. He says Arrow Pharm i s
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.
Looki ng to the f uture, Restal l
suggested a successful concentrated
solar power micro-CHP system could be
useful in reducing Maltas current almost
complete dependence on fossil fuel.
While a hot climate such as Maltas
would not fnd the solar thermal component
necessary, the systems 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.
Restal l says ful l resul ts wi l l 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 Agencys
solar heating and cooling programme
and the European Solar Thermal Industry
Federation.
Other partners i n Di GeSPo are
remotel y-managed machi ne 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.
Di GeSPos pa r t f undi ng of
3. 27 mi l l i on f rom the European
Commission has been provided by the EUs
outgoing Seventh Framework Programme
for research, which ends in December.
