W
hat do you know about the relationship between biomass and the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)?
If you are more than a bit hazy about this you should know this is one of the hottest topics to
do with independent power generation to be featured at the IP&EE Conference at the
Birmingham NEC on June 8th-10th, 2010.
If this is a subject which energises you - make sure you don't miss the paper being delivered by Illaria
Peretti of Turboden. She is looking at ORC and the issue of running small decentralised biomass plants.
Another well-qualified speaker, Dave Auty of ENTEC, will be discussing the scope for biomass anaerobic
digestion and CHP, while his colleague Chris Hyndman examines the tricky issue of biomass combustion
and small-scale CHP.
Karl-Heinz Tetzlaff of H2-Patent GmbH will be revealing details of his work on biomass-based hydrogen
economy, while Alex Marshall of Clarke Energy features the latest research into biogas & CHP. These
five speakers are just some of the biomass specialists speaking at the IP&EE Conference - for a full list
please turn to pages 36 & 37. But - back to the ‘Masterclass’ on ORC. The Organic Rankine cycle (ORC)
is named for its use of an organic, high molecular mass fluid with a liquid-vapour phase change, or
boiling point, occurring at a lower temperature than the water-steam phase change. It can be applied
to heat and power plants - for example a small scale cogeneration plant on a domestic water heater or to industrial and farming processes such as organic products fermentation, hot exhausts from ovens
or furnaces, flue gas condensation, exhaust gases from vehicles, intercooling of a compressor and
with the condenser of a power cycle. In fact, ORC works best with the following options:
* Biomass - available all over the world and can be used for the production of electricity on small to
medium-size scaled power plants. The problem of high specific investment costs for machinery such as
steam boilers are overcome due to the low working pressures in ORC power plants. The ORC process
also helps to overcome the relatively small amount of input fuel available in many regions because an
efficient ORC power plant is possible for smaller sized plants.
* Geothermic heat sources - these vary in temperature from 50 to 350°C. ORC is therefore perfectly
adapted for this kind of application. However, it is important to keep in mind that for low-temperature
geothermal sources (typically less than 100°C), the efficiency is very low and depends strongly on heat
sink temperature (defined by the ambient temperature).
* Solar thermal power - the organic Rankine cycle can be used in the solar parabolic trough
technology in place of the usual steam Rankine cycle. The ORC allows a lower collector temperature, a
better collecting efficiency (reduced ambient losses) and lets you reduce the size of the solar field.
To discuss independent energy
generation issues like these and hear
about the latest technical and scientific
advances affecting the industry make sure
you book your delegate tickets now for
the three-day IP&EE Conference. And
remember - you heard it here first.

Fluor GC & CP in
energy storage deal
A pilot project using GC's
Advanced Energy Storage
(GCAES) technology has
been established in Texas
thanks to an agreement
between General
Compression, Inc. (GC)
and ConocoPhillips. Both
companies have agreed
to invest in compressed
air energy storage
projects.
GCAES is a 2 MW modular
compressor and expander
unit that is designed to
not use fuel or emit
carbon.
Nuon appoints
Siemens for 435 MW
CCGT plant
Siemens has received an
order from Dutch utility
Nuon for the turnkey
construction of a 435 MW
combined-cycle power
plant in the Netherlands.
The Hemweg 9 plant is
expected to attain an
efficiency of 59%. The
start of commercial
operation is scheduled for
late 2012.
Chile’s blackout initiates review
The Government of Chile is drawing
up plans for a network of additional
backup power units following March’s
nationwide power outage which
plunged quake-hit Chile into
darkness stretching over 2,000km
(1,250 miles) and affecting up to 90%
of the population. The power loss cut
a broad swathe, stretching from
Taltal in the north to the island of
Chiloe in the south - the equivalent
of London to Athens.
Chile's infrastructure was devastated
by the quake on 27th February, 2010,
which killed about 500 people and
cost up to US$30bn (£20bn).
The entire area hit by the earthquake, including the badly affected
second city of Concepcion, was left
in darkness after the loss of supply.
This latest power cut is another reminder of the
immense tasks facing President Sebastian Pinera
who was inaugurated last month.
The operators of Chile’s electricity grid said the
blackout was caused by the failure of a high-voltage
transformer about 700km south of the capital.
Energy Minister Ricardo Rainieri said Chile's power
grid remained fragile and he called on people to
restrict their energy consumption. While electricity
was restored to about 90% of the country within an
hour, the authorities are clearly taking the issue
seriously enough to consider making major
investments in additional temporary energy sources
for key infrastructure areas.
Aggreko’s US$150m power agreement
We Energies buys in
50 MW of wind
power
Iberdrola Renewables has
signed a power purchase
agreement (PPA) with
Wisconsin-based We
Energies. We Energies will
buy 50 MW of energy from
Iberdrola's 160 MW Barton
Wind Power Project in
Iowa. Power deliveries
began in January 2010
and the wind farm was
put into service in June
2009, almost a year ago.
We Energies has plans buy
the wind energy to help
reach a state renewable
portfolio standard of 10%
of its energy from
renewable sources by
2015.

Aggreko has signed an agreement
with the Bangladesh Power
Development Board (BPDP) for
the provision of 200MW of
temporary power. The agreement
has an estimated value of
US$150m over three years.
Bangladesh has recently been
affected by power shortages
caused by increased industrial
and domestic demand. Although
the Government has embarked on
an ambitious program to increase
the capacity of the national grid,
power demand is now exceeding
supply, with the result that widespread power cuts are inhibiting
economic development.
In order to bridge the immediate
gap between power supply and
demand,
Aggreko will
provide turnkey
power packages
to BPDP, which
will feed power
directly into
substations
connected to
the national
grid.
Temporary
power (100MW)
will be provided
APRIL 2010 • WORLDWIDE INDEPENDENT POWER
at 132 kV, with the other half
provided at 33 kV. All aspects of
the power packages, from
design, mobilisation, operation
and maintenance, will be
provided by Aggreko.
The first tranche of power will be
operational on July 1st, with the
entire project scheduled to be
commissioned in August 2010.
This contract is in addition to the
40 MW which Aggreko has been
providing since October 2008 at
its highly successful plant near
Khulna.
Rupert Soames, Chief Executive
of Aggreko, told WIP: "Aggreko's
fast-track power provision is an
excellent solution for BPDP.”
This 200 MW plant, to be
delivered within the next few
months, will have a noticeable
impact on the power supply in
the country, he confirmed.
Efficient and reliable solutions

Areva Transports Steam Generators to TMI
Alstom to build 100
MW wind farm in
Morocco
Alstom has signed a
contract with Nareva
Holding, subsidiary of ONA,
the leading Moroccan
industrial and financial
group, for a new wind farm
in Akhfenir, in Morocco. The
wind farm, to be
commissioned in 2011, will
consist of 61 Alstom ECO 74
wind turbines totalling
more than 100 MW of
renewable energy to be
supplied to private industrial customers in Morocco,
mainly as part of the

Colorado's Clean Air-Clean
Jobs Act has now become
law. This means that
companies such as Xcel
Energy must cut nitrogen
oxide emissions by up to
80% from several coal-fired
power plants by the end of
2017. Xcel says it will work
with the Colorado
Department of Public
Health and Environment to
submit a plan to the Public
Utilities Commission by Aug.
15th, 2010. The plan will
detail how Xcel plans to
retire or retrofit 900 MW of
coal-fired capacity by using
natural gas, renewable
energy or other energy
sources.

Areva has finally completed the
task of delivering two new
enhanced once-through steam
generators to Three Mile Island
(TMI) in Dauphin County, Pa. USA.
Areva joined forces with its
customer Exelon and partners
Fagioli Group of Houston, Texas.,
Michael Baker, Jr. Inc. of
Harrisburg, Pa., and Kinsley
Construction of York, Pa., to
successfully transport two 510-ton
components along the 75-mile
land route. spanning two states
and 23 municipalities.
"This was the most challenging
large-component delivery in
Areva's history," said George
Shell supplies Mitsubishi CCPs
Tasked with establishing two
combined cycle power plants,
with three turbine units each, in
Thailand's Ratchaburi province,
Mitsubishi Electric turned to Shell
for its lubricant needs.
Shell supplied approximately
200,000 litres of flushing and
turbine oils, along with filling
services direct from the drum and
daily drum removal to a combined
cycle plant at a South Bangkok
site. - reportedly saving over
US$520,000 in operational costs.
Another corporation which has
reported significant savings while
working with Shell is the energy
company, Dan Chang Bio Energy
Co. Ltd.
DCBE says it was using a
competitor's product for its
Turbine System and within two
years has been forced to make
an oil change due to an
indication of wear on bearings.
Its lubricants supplier did not
offer an oil analysis service so
the company would have had to
drain the oil every two years,
which would require them to
cease production for three days
at a time, they point out. As a
result, the customer decided to
find a new lubricant which had a
more extended oil drain interval.
Following inspection, Shell
recommended the introduction of
Shell Turbo T 68 for Steam
Turbines in conjunction with its oil
and equipment monitoring
service, Shell LubeAnalyst.
Based on its experience at similar
power operations, Shell was able
to demonstrate that the average
oil change would increase to more
than three years.
This increase enabled the
customer to achieve estimated
savings of over US $50,000 per
annum.
Beam, a senior vice president
with Areva Inc. "Delivering these
generators required complex
logistics involving government
and regulatory agencies in two
states and numerous local
communities and authorities."
Indeed, communications and
community relations were a
critical part of the success of this
undertaking, he said.
Around 39 contracts for
overnight parking and access for
the two 825-ton loaded vehicles
had to be negotiated to finish the
job.
Areva also had to co-ordinate
with more than 150 entities which included vendors, state and
federal agencies and private
businesses - before the task was
complete.
Iran builds first 1MW
generators for national use
Iranian experts have succeeded in
developing the capacity to
produce 1MW generators, the
head of an Iranian industrial
company says.
"The Iranian-made generator has
been completely constructed by
Iranian engineers and will be
unveiled in the near future,"
head of Jovain Electrical
Machines Industrial Company
(JEMCO) Mir Ali-Akbar Asle
Khademi has confirmed.
Asle Khademi stressed that the
design and production technology
of the molders as well as the
production of all parts of the
"national generator" were
completely domestic.
He added that each 1 MW
generator would save the country
US$60,000. Asle Khademi said
that Iranian engineers are now
working on designing and
constructing a two-megawatt
generator.
JEMCO is one of subsidiaries of
the Industrial Development and
Renovation Organization of Iran
(IDRO). IDRO has focused its
activities on the promotion of
local and foreign investments
with particular emphasis on new,
hi-tech & export-oriented
industries as well as the
restructuring of industries.

US$365m for gas-fired electric power plants
GDF Suez to invest in
Peru power projects
Constellation Energy agreed with
Houston-based Navasota Holdings
to buy two 550 MW natural gas
combined-cycle generation
facilities in Texas for $365m or
$332 per kilowatt. The
transaction includes the Colorado
Bend Energy Center, a 550 MW
facility near Wharton, Texas, and
Quail Run Energy Center, a 550
MW facility near Odessa, Texas.
The deal will add 1,100 MW of
capacity to Constellation Energy's
generation portfolio and provides
a physical presence of material
scale in ERCOT (Electric
Reliability Council of Texas),
where the company's wholesale
GDF Suez plans to invest
€450m ($600m) in hydro
and thermal power plants
after winning a power
supply contract in Peru.
GDF Suez's Enersur S.A. unit
was awarded a long-term
contract to supply 662 MW
of power in an auction
conducted by electricity
distribution companies in
Peru. The contracts focus
on electricity supplies for
2013 through 2025. Energy
will be supplied from
Enersur's existing capacity,
and through the construction of a hydroelectric
power plant, Quitaracsa I,
located 500 km northeast of
Lima. The Quitaracsa I
hydroelectric power
plant will have an estimated capacity of 112 MW and
will be part of the national
grid.
BHEL of India to build
1600 MW plant
India's state-owned power
engineering firm BHEL has
won a 63bn rupees
($1.05bn) order for
establishing an supercritical
coal fired power plant in
Karnataka. The contract
involves the design,
engineering, manufacture,
supply, erection and
commissioning of two coal
fired thermal units of 800
MW each with supercritical
parameters at Raichur in
Karnataka. RPCL is a joint
venture company of
Karnataka Power
Corporation Limited (KPCL)
and BHEL, which has been
set up to build, own and
operate supercritical
thermal power plants in
Karnataka.BHEL has also
begun work supplying
supercritical steam
generators to APGenco's 2 x
800 MW Krishnapatnam
Thermal Power Project,
which is at an advanced

and retail supply businesses sell
power. The acquisition is in line
with the company's previously
announced strategy of deploying
up to $1 billion over the next 12
to 24 months to acquire assets in
regions where the company's load
obligations exceed its generation
capacity. Colorado Bend and Quail
Run each have 275 MW expansion
projects in advanced
development, creating the longterm potential to further balance
Constellation Energy's generation
capacity and customer supply
obligations in ERCOT.
Navasota Energy Partners LP is a
Houston-based energy

Wartsila and ABB develop groundbreaking
technology to cut diesel engine emissions
Wartsila and ABB Turbo Systems
are co-operating in a joint
development programme for a
new and groundbreaking
application of two-stage
turbocharging on large diesel
engines.
Advanced engine technology,
together with two-stage
turbocharging, offers significant
advantages in fuel consumption
and engine emissions. The
application of two-stage
turbocharging technology on
Wartsila diesel engines has been
developed through close cooperation between Wartsila and
ABB Turbo Systems.
In this programme, Wartsila is
focusing on developing advanced
engine technology invovling the
turbocharger. It is hoped this will
each the highest possible
performance levels and become a
cost-effective commercial solution
for customers. ABB Turbo Systems
is delivering the turbocharging
technology with defined
performance in terms of airflow,
pressure ratios and efficiency. In
the new engine design, two
turbochargers are arranged in
series to generate increased air
pressure, airflow and a superior
turbocharging effect. This results
in an efficiency rating of up to
76%, which is extremely high. The
increased air pressure, combined
with the advanced engine
technology, improves the engine
output and power density by up to
ten per cent. At the same time,
both fuel consumption and CO2
emissions are reduced.
Further emissions reduction can
be achieved with additional
engine systems or by the use of
exhaust gas after-treatment. A
precise combination of fuel
consumption levels and reductions
in CO2 and NOx emissions can be
selected through detailed systems
configuration.
Intelligent engine control allows
optimum operation of the
advanced engine design over the
whole load range, and a
significant reduction in NOx
emissions can be reached. At high
altitudes, 2-stage turbocharging
technology guarantees the
engine's operational performance
by compensating for the reduced
air density. The significant
reductions in fuel consumption
and emissions are the result of
extensive joint testing of the 2stage turbocharging system on the
Wartsila engine.
The tests have taken place at
Wartsila's test facility in Vaasa,
Finland, and the targets for the
development programme have
been successfully met. Wartsila
and ABB Turbo Systems say they
are planning to initiate a major
pilot project with a customer in
the near future.

Growth, budgets & chancellors
Economic analyst Christopher Hopkins looks at how the UK’s political parties aim to
influence the economic climate in Britain. But will their ideas work? He is sceptical.
M
uch has happened this month with
the economy. Firstly, there is the
surprising news that growth in the
UK economy from Q4 2009 has been
revised upwards yet again by the ONS.
This is most welcome news given the
initial disappointment those figures
garnered when first released a couple of
months back. But, as per usual, the
optimism is countered by the fact that
much of the improvement originated with
public spending and stimulus, which are
exactly the foundations the economy is
going to have to do without in the coming
months.
The other big news was Budget Day, and
the announcement of the Government's
pre-election spending plans proved to be
most divisive - hardly an unexpected
development. What followed the budget
was the inevitable quibbling over who
could cut most of the deficit most and in
the swiftest way. While Labour and the
Conservatives have been accusing each
other of harbouring underfunded plans,
the Lib Dems have been pointing out theirs is probably the most accurate
answer - that both of their plans had
fiscal holes in.
Ultimately the problem is that so many
of the plans to cut National Debt rely on
expectations about the future economy.
These expectations have, in the past,
been unreliable - and in the future
probably more so, given the divergence of
opinion on how best to approach the
problem.
Labour's plans - to shift funding from
services to cutting the deficit only after
the recovery is presumed secure in 2011 will no doubt gain them public support.
No-one likes spending cuts and higher
taxes now if they can possibly put them
off.
Most economists seem to support the
plan to hold off until some stability is
found, judging by the numbers who have
written to newspapers in support of
Labour's intentions.
The Conservatives, on the other hand,
plan to cut spending as soon as possible to
get on top of the problem, and in this

of a minority of economists but - crucially
- the approval of the international
community. The EU recently spoke out to
say it doubted that the UK’s current
government could - and even intended to
- do enough to cut the UK's debt, one of
the highest in the OECD.
Deciding which way the UK should go

The balance is thermal loss and waste

amount), but you also provide your
customers with free heat and hot water.
You've also turned your genset into

The means by which this is done is quite
simple - heat exchangers.

rising again, diesel powered genset
manufacturers are looking to CHP as a
way to offer a premium product, with
better margins and provide customers
with the ultimate tangible benefit - free
heat and hot water.”
To illustrate just how tangible that
benefit is, Bowman has developed the

following illustration. A typical 100kw
diesel engine will generate around 35kw
of electrical energy, giving an average
efficiency of around 35%.
Recovering the heat lost from the
exhaust system and converting it to hot
water provides another 40kw of energy,
increasing the efficiency to 75%.
When waste heat from the cooling
system is recovered, this is increased by a
further 10kw, increasing the overall
efficiency to 85%.
"It's possible to achieve an engine
efficiency level of up to 92% by including
oil, fuel and charge air coolers, putting
the overall efficiency of a genset on a par
with the latest condensing heating
boilers,” says Jamie.
“The fact that the gen-set is providing
electricity, heating and hot water at such
a high efficiency, makes it an increasingly
attractive proposition for independent
power applications,” he explains.
EJ Bowman has developed one of the
most comprehensive ranges of heat
exchangers for gensets and, using their
products, up to 60% of all heat lost from
the engine can be reclaimed and
converted into energy.
Bowman's standard range comprises heat
exchangers for genset engines with
power ratings from 16KW to 1MW
“Over the past few years, the
trend towards smaller, more
compact engine powered gensets
has accelerated and these units are
becoming increasingly important for
independent power generation,”
reports Jamie Pratt. “With that in
mind, developing our new '2-25'
and 2-32 compact unit was a
logical extension to our range of
heat exchangers.”

Product quality is at the heart of EJ
Bowman's success and this can be seen in
both the materials used and the
manufacturing processes employed.
“We use a fully-welded, all stainlesssteel construction on all our exhaust gas
units, as this provides the level of
durability needed to handle the extreme
temperatures found in modern exhaust
gas systems,” concludes Jamie.
“We don't compromise either - the same
standards and specifications apply to all
our units, from the largest to the
smallest.”

GEN-SET CONTROLLERS
Gen-set controllers - new
developments from SICES
The GC500 - the latest release by SICES SRL - is a control module designed to enhance
and improve the performance of multiple gen-sets running in parallel. It’s fast, efficient
and offers a host of upgrade & monitoring options so it can grow alongside your systems.
T
o properly control groups of
generator sets - up to 16 units running in parallel with or without
mains supply you really need an
advanced, integrated controller unit.
Now Italy-based SICES SRL has released
the GC500, its latest control module
which completes a new range of gen-sets
controllers recently introduced by the
company. The GC500 control module has
been designed to allow an easy use and
quick installation due to its internal
digital LoadSharer (which uses an
additional CAN interface), Synchroniser
(via CAN or via PWM output) and VAR
regulation. Synchronisation and power
regulation (or load-sharing) are, in fact,
directly managed without any external
devices. In particular, power regulation
can be accomplished in isochronous mode
or in droop mode.
A load management function is available
in order to start/stop generators in base
load mode. All the communication
required is made through a single CAN
line - PMCBUS - which allows the
exchange of information related to loadsharing and system management.
Like all products in the new GCXXX genset controller range, the GC500 is able to
automatically or manually start, stop the
gen-set and protect the engine and the
generator. It relies on a series of
thresholds based on the acquired
measurements (oil pressure, coolant
temperature, speed etc.).
Reliability and accuracy are two ‘musts’
for SICES products. This is why - as an
embedded function during the working
period - the controller makes periodic or
on-event recordings (some of them
configurable with programming
parameters). The controller also manages
different types of archives. For example,
when an event occurs, the controller adds
a record in its store - it has a total
recording capacity of 99 event. For each
event the following data is recorded: the
date/time when the
event occurred, the
key-lock switch
status, the status of
engine, generator,
mains and of
changeover in that
moment. If the
event is an anomaly
some analogue
measurements are
also recorded,
linked to the event.
As a standard
feature the GC500
is equipped with a
powerful graphic
display which
provides a user-friendly human interface
showing a wide variety of measurements
and data. Some of them can be
programmed by the installer or by the
final user in order to adapt the
controller to specific requirements
of the system.
Parameters can be set using the
programming software (BoardPRG),
available free of charge on the SICES
website, or manually via the front
panel.
As a standard feature the GC500
Multiple Gen-Set Controller is
equipped with one serial port - RS232
- and an optional additional serial
port - RS232 or RS485 - to boost
control of the unit.
In addition, a series of additional
devices are available for connection:
these monitor the status of gen-sets
according to preference. To help meet the
customer's needs the controller has a
SICES Ethernet interfacing card called
Gateway which can manage up to 32 RTU
server (slave devices). Moreover, it's
possible to connect a GSM modem in order
to send/receive SMS to or from a properly
configured mobile phone. Once this is
done, the mobile phone can also be used
to set or change parameters, start and
stop gen-sets. It is also possible to use
Supervision software to monitor the status
of the plant - and set up an automatic
call facility in case alarms occur.
The GC500 has been designed to
interface with the other models of SICES
gen-set controllers for paralleling and
synchronsation applications (DST4601PX)
mostly used for CHP power plants and for
customised applications.

ALTERNATORS
Alternators - essential engineering at
the heart of every system
Regarded as a pioneer in alternator technology in 1992, Polar Power's PMHH
alternator is famous for having no bearings, couplings, brushes, slip rings or rotating
fields. In short, there are simply no alternator parts to wear out, reports WIP.
P
olar Power, Inc. tested its first DC
generator using its PMHH Alternator
technology in 1992 - and has
achieved a significant level of market
dominance ever since.
The remarkable thing about Polar
Power's PMHH alternator is that it has no
bearings, couplings, brushes, slip rings or
rotating fields.
The entire alternator assembly is
vacuum dipped and baked with a
polyester coating. This seals off all metal
surfaces from corrosion. Resistance to salt
fog is extremely high.
There are no electronic parts (diodes,
etc.) nor electrical connections inside the
alternator. There is nothing to short or
vibrate loose inside the alternator.
According to the company, the
alternator is almost impossible to damage
electrically. The outputs can be shorted
for minutes without damage.
Polar’s engineers seem to have thought
of everything. The alternator is thermally
protected; a sensor on the yoke can warn
the operator of a high temperature condition. If no action is taken the regulator
automatically reduces the output current
so the alternator can run cooler.
The output current is monitored by the

voltage regulator through a current
transducer. The voltage regulator has an
adjustable current limit on the output. It
is virtually impossible to overload the
alternator, says the company.
Arthur D. Sams, company CEO &
President told WIP: “Every Polar Power
PMHH alternator should have an MTBF
exceeding 100,000 hours. The diode
bridge set is remote from the alternator
and mounted on a large heat sink to keep
cool.”
He adds: “The voltage regulator has
lightning and surge protection on both the
input and output. All the electronic
components within the voltage regulator
are operated at less than 50% of their
rated values. “
In fact, the only normal wear the
alternator experiences is the abrasion
caused by the air being circulated around
the stator coil and this effect is limited.
Because of its high efficiency, Polar
Power's PMHH alternator does not even
require a cooling fan. Low velocity air is
moved over the stator due to the rotor
effect, making this advantageous in sandy
and dusty environments.
Polar Power’s engines are also protected
against over-temperature, low oil

pressure, over-speed, and over-cranking
during start-up.
Two-stage cyclone air filters are used on
the engines air intake in order to
minimise air media cartridge replacement. The alternator's rotor is also
dynamically balanced to improve the
engine's bearing life.
Low EMI emissions are designed into the
system. There are no brushes or slip rings.
The field coil is isolated from the buss
through fast diodes and capacitance. The
voltage regulator does not strobe the field
coil on and off.
Proportional control reduces the back
EMF produced by the field coil. The fuel
stop and two speed solenoids are
attenuated for voltage spikes as a result
of turning on and off the solenoids field

Polar's DC gen-sets meet both Military
and Belcore power applications. Polar
assembles gen-sets to meet client
requirements by adding the appropriate
diesel, gasoline, or gas (propane, butane,
natural) engine to its special DC
alternators. The engines are available in
either liquid or air-cooled versions.

Cat HDG32 on HIAB.
With major clients including water authorities, NHS trusts, emergency services, data
centres and major corporations the power rental sector has certainly proved to be big
business for WB Power Services (WBPS), the UK-based specialist in the provision of
diesel-engined backup power generation, reports WIP.
W
BPS is well-known across the UK
for supplying rental units from
10kVA right through to fullycontainerised 3000Kva units.
WBPS MD, Andrew Wilmott, tells WIP:
"Our services range from basic supply of
generators through to complete project
management including initial site survey,
system design, installation, testing final
commissioning, full maintenance
packages, load testing, emergency repairs
and spare parts supply.
"Recognising the ever-changing need for
improved commercial backup power, we
have continuously developed both the
policies and skill set within our business
to ensure we remain market leaders in
power generation. This includes a 24/7
emergency callout facility, 365 days-ayear and guaranteed response times
through our nationwide experienced
service team," he says.
To cope with ever-increasing demand for
emergency hire, last year WBPS invested
heavily in new equipment to ensure it
remains highly competitive, offering hire
rates that are some of the lowest on the
market.
Andrew clarified the position: "We want
to ensure our fleet of hire equipment
covers every situation. This means not
only having standard equipment, but also

Andrew commented:
"In June 2009 we
added a further 13
Some of the
units to our hire fleet.
Three of the units have since been built
into secure stores, including bulk fuel
tanks for high-risk sites. These proved a
welcome addition to our comprehensive
fleet and are part of an ongoing expansion
programme which has seen a further 20
units added."
Obviously, transportation has proved a
major part of its business and in 2009
WBPS added a 45-ton HIAB and 33-ton
HIAB vehicle to its fleet to allow
engineers the flexibility to deliver their
own equipment to customer sites by day
or night.
The company currently operates 60+ hire
units covering every size from 10kva to
1,600kva of both static and towable
generators. Last year WPBS was awarded
a five-year framework contract for all
generator requirements by one of the UK's
top water companies. The agreement
covers not only service and maintenance
of 240 installed generators and 26 CHP
units with ratings of up to 600KWs, but
also provision of temporary hire sets over
4,000 sites. The company won the contract because of its dedicated 26 strong
CHP division and engineering team.

recently completed a contract for the
supply and installation of two new 800kVA
standby power sets, bulk fuel tank with
duplex pumps and a control panel for a
hospital Maternity & Oncology
Department. These were sited within a
plant room with attenuation and exhaust
silencing, together with double-skinned
stainless steel flue extending 30m outside
the plant room.
Concludes Andrew: "It's this level of
reliability and flexibility combined with
our rigorous quality, health & safety and
environmental standards which has seen
WPBS recently chosen as the principal
generator service provider for the

FILTRATION/EMISSIONS
The face of the future: emissions
reduction in diesel engines
Diesel engines are becoming cleaner and greener - but what does the future hold in
terms of filtration & emissions? WIP talks to Richard Payne, manager European regulatory affairs, Cummins Power Generation, about the effects of the ‘green revolution’.
C
ummins Power Generation is at the
forefront of emissions reduction in
diesel engines and has invested
heavily in developing new in-cylinder
technology which reduces them at source,
before being exhausted from the engine.
This approach enables customers to comply with new directives, explains Richard
Payne, manager European regulatory
affairs, Cummins Power Generation.
"Unlike the automotive industry, which
has been heavily regulated since the early
1990s, industrial power generation - in
terms of stationary, non-stationary, mobile
and standby generators - has come later,”
he points out.
“Political efforts have concentrated on
areas, like automotive, where the
greatest results can be quickly visible.
The industry is pushing for consistent
regulation. At Cummins, we know that any
refinements in emissions result in overall
improvements and efficiencies in engine
design - and that's good for end customers
and owner/operators,” he says.
28
The subject of
emissions is about air
quality. It makes sense
that in countries and
areas of the world that
are heavily populated
and industrialised it
should matter.
"In terms of
technology, the drive is
to lessen the volume
and harmfulness of
emissions that are
actually the fruits of
combustion before they
leave the exhaust,"
Richard explains.
"Treating emissions
afterwards - referred
to as after-treatment - is expensive and
should only be used where the rewards
are greatest: high load and high hours
operation. For emergency standby use it
makes sense to minimise there production
in the first place: in the cylinder."
APRIL 2010
Through in-cylinder design improvements
and precision control of the combustion
process, Cummins has developed
technologies which reduce primary
pollutants in the diesel generator set
exhaust by around 80% since 1996 when
USA emissions regulations for non-road
diesel engines first went into effect.
The USA and EU are leading the way in
terms of setting standards and regulation.
In the USA, the EPA has established a tier
system (Tiers 1 - 4) for introducing
regulations for non-road and stationary
diesel engines. This establishes uniform
federal standards for emissions for mobile
and stationary generator sets.
The EU has implemented a similar
scheme comprising stages I-IIIA for mobile
generators.
In both schemes, each Tier (or stage)
specifies lesser amounts of four specific
pollutants: NOx (nitrogen oxide), HC
(hydrocarbons), CO (carbon monoxide)
and PM (particulate matter).

which uses advanced regenerative filters,
but dealing with emissions at this stage
comes at a high price.
Richard outlines the company’s direct
approach: "After-treatment strategies add
considerable costs and complications for
end users.
“It makes no sense to spend money on
them when the problem can be addressed
much earlier on. Our philosophy is to
discharge the problem in the first place."
There are many applications out there
which use diesel generator sets only for
emergency standby.
The EPA defines emergency standby as
an internal combustion engine whose
operation is limited to emergency
situations - and up to 100 hours per
annum for testing and maintenance.
It is understood in the US that it does
not make sense to force after-treatment
for this kind of operation.
It is assumed engines in this category
hardly ever run and so emissions, by
definition, are not a major issue.
"There is another more obvious
motivator to invest in low emissions
technology," says Richard.
"As we make improvements we enhance
engineering in other ways too, such as
smaller, lighter components and fuel
efficiency, all of which are worthwhile.
The challenge is to find the right
technology to meet the customers' needs not just emissions targets," he concludes.

Dexdyne: online data trending
Controls & monitoring:
new approaches from Dexdyne
Dexdyne has developed radically new custom web applications and dashboard status
screens for energy providers giving them at-a-glance information on site operations, as
well as providing live feeds showing engine status with a remote restart facility.
W
hen a major energy provider was
looking for a remote telemetry
system to replace its existing ‘PC
Anywhere’ based modem dial-up system it
- naturally - turned its attention to
Dexdyne’s achievements in the global
marketplace.
The energy company concerned had
been looking for new controls and
monitoring technology which was more
robust and automated than the previous
system it used to have.
The old system was not only extremely
operator-intensive but also notoriously
unreliable when it came to retrieving runtime statistics required for billing and
when sending engine status notifications
to site engineers.
Initially installed as part of a trial
against other available telemetry systems
at a UK site, netrixTM from Dexdyne
quickly showed its pedigree not only in
both reliability and feature-set but also in
Dexdyne’s flexibility and responsiveness as
a supplier.
Emerging as the clear winner from the
trials, netrixTM was selected for a further
large-scale trial of systems at sites around
the UK. As planned, each site was

operation, as well as
live feeds showing

With O&M teams spread around the
country, all site engineers were set up as
users and given access to the installations
applicable only to them.
For security purposes, remote control
access was also restricted to the
supervisors in each area.
The energy company - which ultimately
bought the system from Dexdyne required a set of reports for customer
billing as well as performance statistics
for internal use.
Having this facility released valuable
operator time and provided important
statistical data on engine productivity.
Dexdyne was able to supply this.
In a further refinement, Dexdyne was
also asked to supply custom Dashboard
pages to run on site engineers’ BlackBerry
units, providing information in the same
clear manner as the desktop version [see
image centre left].
Using the custom Report Generator
designed for the netrix Server Dexdyne
has been able to create a series of Excel
reports which can be scheduled to run
every day, week and month, as required.
The resulting XLS files can be emailed
automatically to key personnel. The netrix

proved very useful for its users. In
particular, the facility which enables users
to cross-reference periods of downtime
with gas availability for presenting to
customers has certainly proved its worth,
say Dexdyne’s clients.
As a result of successful trials the energy
company selected Dexdyne as its
preferred technology partner.
A roll-out of netrixTM controllers over
140 sites around the UK has already been
completed and netrixTM is now set for
deployment globally.

Helical gearing.
Heavy-duty drives keep
coal-fired facilities running smoothly
Gearboxes play an important role in the productivity of coal-fired power generation
plants, reports John G. Proven, P.E. of Nuttall Gear, a company providing heavy-duty
speed reducers for power generation conveyor and crusher systems for decades.
T
he primary function of a gearbox is
to change the speed of driven piece
of equipment when the speed is
different from the driver. Drivers in a
power plant are typically steam or
combustion turbines, diesel engines, or
electric motors.
Heavy-duty, mission-critical drive
applications include coal conveyor
systems, coal crushers, boiler feed pumps,
and turbine generators that all operate at
speeds different from the drivers.
The reliability of the gearbox in any
application depends on the following: the
design parameters should be properly
specified; the unit should be properly
maintained; and the unit should receive
the proper lubrication of gearing and
bearings
Depending on the facility, a variety of
conveyor systems are used to unload
barges and railcars and move coal from
bunkers to the furnace. These include
long, overland belt conveyors, inclined

sources, particularly suitable for all
distributed generation.The concept is
based on modular plants using thermal oil
as heat source with feeding temperatures
around 300°C and delivering heat at a
temperature level between 80 and 120°C
to heat users.
Ms. Peretti’s groundbreaking study
suggests that the ORC solution is a very
good option for all decentralised and
distributed installations where the
context offers any type of biomass fuel to
provide heat and electricity, or electricity
only, or trigeneration.
Ms Peretti’s paper is based on an
‘incremental economic feasibility’
approach which considers additional
investment costs and incomes for the CHP
solution in comparison with the existing
heat supply solution. Turboden s.r.l.
specialises in biomass-fired ORC
applications and has installed 140 turbogenerators, feeding various applications
in12 countries, with more than 140.000kW
installed.
* Dr Alastair Martin is a professional
energy engineer with experience in all
aspects of energy engineering, ranging
from gigawatt-scale coal and nuclear
power stations, through industrial energy
efficiency, to very small embedded wind,
solar and hydro-generators.
Dr Alastair Martin has a B.Eng (Hons, 1st
Class) in Electrical and Mechanical
Engineering from The University
of Edinburgh (1992) and a PhD in
Offshore Engineering, also from
The University of Edinburgh
(1997). Alastair was an Honorary
Fellow at the University in 19992002 and has been a Chartered
Engineer and of the Institution of
Mechanical Engineers since 2000.
His company, Flexitricity, provides energy
reserve services to National Grid, which
has overall responsibility for the security
of the national electricity supply.
His paper will look at reserve services

ready to keep the electricity system
stable. This means that when the system
is under duress there will always be
enough electricity to go round.
Flexitricity's reserve services are created
by aggregating small standby diesel
generators, opportunities for shortduration load reduction and combined
heat and power (CHP) generators in a
much larger ‘virtual power station’.
This power station is called on by
National Grid for short periods via
Flexitricity's system of networked energy
providers to reduce electricity
consumption.
Dr Martin’s work also involves Smart
Grids - a smart grid delivers electricity
from suppliers to consumers using twoway digital technology to control
appliances at consumers' facilities to save
energy, reduce cost and increase
reliability and transparency. Flexitricity is
currently the only fully deployed online
Smart Grid company in the UK.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Bronkhorst UK’s new D-6300 unit
Queen’s Award won by DuPont for solar cell work
Bronkhorst UK has introduced the latest MassStream® D-6300 series of digital mass flow meters
and controllers for gases. The D-6300 instruments
are designed for work in mechanical engineering,
as well as gas production. It is useful for almost
every kind of gas or gas mix, including dirty or wet
gases and those with a tendency to particulate.
Measuring applications include biogas from landfill
sites and digesters and dirty exhaust gases from combustion
processes. The technology is also ideal for N2/O2 generators, gas
consumption metering and burner ratio control.
www.bronkhorst.co.uk
DuPont has won the Queen's Award for Enterprise for the continuous
development of its DuPont™ Solamet® photovoltaic metallisation
paste, a key component in increasing the energy efficiency of solar
cells. "Addressing energy needs is a global concern. The generation
of renewable energy will be the fastest growing sector in the energy
market for the next 20 years, and photovoltaic applications are a
critical success factor for sustainable growth," Ian Hudson, president
- DuPont Europe, Middle East and Africa, told WIP.
"We can apply the power of our market-driven science to offer
products and technologies that can transform the sun's potential into
clean energy, contributing to decreasing dependence on fossil fuels."
The advances made by DuPont in the field of front- and back-side
metallisation contacts have resulted in significant efficiency gains.
Its cells operate at close to 16% for multi-crystalline wafers, and at
greater than 18% for monocrystalline wafers - a rise in efficiency that
is partly due to the performance offered by the metallisations
DuPont has developed. The fundamental qualities that Solamet®
brings to the market are the
excellent low-contact resistance
formed with the silicon on firing
and the fine-line high aspect
ratio print resolution. These
minimise resistance and
electrical losses, making a more
efficient device, says DuPont.

Oerlikon Lybold Vacuum releases DRYVAC unit
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum has released a new dry screw technology
pump series called DRYVAC - this is said to contribute to the effective
automatisation of solar panel mass production and enhances full
profitability, reports the company. Relevant pump parameters of the
DRYVAC can be visualised during operation via a touch screen
monitor. The i-variants with integrated self-control can communicate
via data exchange between pump and plant controls using various
interfaces. As another option, the touch-panel can also be used.
For pump control, there are multiple sensors such as temperature
control with warning functions, and a
pressure sensor for monitoring the
exhaust pressure. Moreover, the data of
the integrated frequency converter can
also be easily visualised, says O-L.
