his series of GMP-organised Shows & Conferences reflects a paradigm-shift from all other
previous energy events held in the UK. Although relatively small-scale, the content of the
shows will have far-reaching consequences, report those involved. The key Conference
Organiser, Dave Andrews, comments: “The Conference Road Show events of 2013 will be
radically different from most energy events - attendees will hear crucial analyses of the energy issues
affecting the world today.
“These will be well beyond the normal kinds of over-simplifications found in the media. The shows
will give power professionals direct access to the latest power technologies and their providers. Key
technology will also be showcased.”
He says: “We have changed the Scotland venue only recently to London and have finalised the
location - it is the ‘Royal Academy of Engineering which has been renamed Prince Philip House. This
is a fantastic modern attractive new venue.”
The official dates of the shows are as follows:
* 20th - 21st March, 2013, GMP Regional Roadshow Conference & Exhibition at Event City,
Manchester.

Solar power units for
rural Spain
Gehrlicher Solar Spain has
revealed details of a
standalone PV mini-grid is
has installed at a rural
housing estate in Spain.
The project based in
Canada Lentisco, near the
town of Murcia in south-
east Spain, is one of the
first of many self-
energising projects
planned for residential
development areas in the
country.
PV panels now cover an
area of 150 m2 on build-
ings - this will supply the
estate’s power demands
until 2043, says
Gehrlicher, which will also
operate the installation.
With battery support and
an output of 30 kV, the 90
PV modules are installed
with two STP10000TL SMA
inverters and six Sunny
Island 5048 inverters
designed for off-grid sys-
tems.
BelEnergia funds
Belarus power
project
BelEnergia has plans to
build a combined heat
and power plant in
Belarus, which will have
an estimated construction
cost of US$563m.
The plan is to include the
facility as part of the
Belarusian energy system
development program for
2013 - 2016.
The investment will be
provided by the Italian
company, BelEnergia. It is
investing US$67m in
creating an infrastructure,
including heat & electrical
networks.
The Alaskan Brewing Co. is going green, but instead
of looking to solar and wind energy, it has turned to
a very familiar source: beer.
The Juneau-based beer maker has installed a
unique boiler system in order to cut its fuel costs. It
bought a US$1.8 million furnace which burns the
company's spent grain - the waste accumulated
from the brewing process - into steam which
powers the majority of the brewery's operations.
Company officials now joke they are now serving
‘beer-powered beer’.
For some years now the used grain, a good source
of protein, was sold to nearby farms and ranches to
be used as animal feed.
But there are only 37 farms in southeast Alaska and
680 in the entire state as of 2011, and the problem
of what to do with the excess spent grain - made up
of the residual malt and barley - became more
problematic after the brewery expanded in 1995.
The Alaskan
Brewing Co. had
to resort to ship-
ping its spent
grain to buyers
further away.
Shipping costs for
Juneau businesses
are especially
high because
there are no
roads leading in
or out of the city;
everything has to
be flown or shipped in. However, the grain is a rela-
tively wet byproduct of the brewing process, so it
needs to be dried before it is shipped - another
heat intensive and expensive process.
A North Dakota company built the special CHPA
boiler system after the project was awarded nearly
$500,000 in a grant from the US Federal Rural
Energy for America Program.
The brewery is expecting big savings once the
system is fully operational in March 2013. Smith
estimates that the spent grain steam boiler will
offset the company's yearly energy costs by 70 per-
cent, which amounts to about $450,000 a year.
Alaskan Brewing Co. makes about 150,000 barrels of
beer a year. The beer is distributed in 14 states
after recent entries into the Texas, Wisconsin and
Minnesota markets. It brews several varieties of
beer, but is best-known for its Alaskan Amber, an
alt-style beer.

£26m gen-set order for offshore supply vessel project
MTU Friedrichshafen will deliver
16 MTU marine generator sets
with 12V 4000 M23S Ironmen
engines for four Rolls-Royce UT
771 CDL offshore supply vessels
(OSV) to be built at COSCO
(Zhoushan) Shipyard Co. Ltd. in
China.
The gen-sets are part of a £26m
Rolls-Royce order to provide an
integrated design, power and
propulsion and equipment
package. COSCO will build the
OSVs for a Hong Kong owner. The
four vessels are scheduled for
delivery in 2014.
“We are proud to be part of this
project as this is the first time
MTU marine generator sets for
diesel-electric propulsion are
incorporated as part of an inte-
grated power and propulsion
package within a Rolls-Royce
designed UT-vessel,” Tognum
Chief Sales Officer Dr. Michael
Haidinger told WIP. “This order
highlights the potential of our
future collaboration with Rolls-
Royce.”
Each generator set consists of a
1,380kW twelve-cylinder high-
speed diesel engine of the proven
MTU Series 4000 for workboats
and a generator-mounted resilient
on a common base frame and an
electronic control system. The
gen-sets are designed specifically
for commercial marine
applications, such as offshore
supply vessels for wind parks or
oil and gas platforms.
In addition to MTU gen-sets
powered by high-speed engines
the latest vessels will feature an
integrated Rolls-Royce equipment
package.

BMW has installed four Jenbacher
J616 cogeneration modules at its
Regensburg Auto Factory in
Germany.
The engines now produce 10.7
MW in power, or 30% of the
plant’s requirements. Four CHP
units generate 9.6 MW in waste
heat for use in the factory,
including for heating during
winter months, giving an 85.3%
combined efficiency rating. The
Jenbacher gas engineshave been
designed to help BMWoperate
during grid disruptions by
energising emergency lighting.
GE Jenbacher engines are now
installed at four BMW plants,
delivering a total of 22.1 MW in
electricity and 21.57 MW in ther-
mal output.
The Jenbacher gas engine is
designed from to run solely on
different types of gas, and for
different types of applications.
This differentiates the engine
which has not been developed
from a diesel engine conversion.
This focus on gaseous fuels leads
to the highest levels of generator
efficiency and reliability on the
market, says GE.
The engine has been developed
into variants which are suitable
for a wide range of different
applications including natural gas,
biogas, coal seam gases and asso-
ciated petroleum gas. Over five
decades of experience in the gas
engine business has resulted in
thousands of GE Jenbacher
engines being installed world-
wide.The gas
engine generators
cover an electrical
output range from
249 to 9,500 kW.
Each engine
consists of four
main components –
the engine which is
fuelled by different
gases. Once the
gas is burnt in the
cylinders of the
engine, the force
turns a crank shaft within the
engine. The crank shaft turns an
alternator which results in the
generation of electricity.
Heat from the combustion
process is released from the
cylinders This must be either
recovered and used in a combined
heat and power configuration or
dissipated via dump radiators
located close to the engine.
Finally, and most importantly,
there are advanced control
systems to facilitate robust per-
formance of the generator.
Gas engines are typically applied
as stationary continuous
generation units but can also
operate as peaking plants & in
greenhouses to meet fluctuations
in local electricity demand.
They can produce electricity in
parallel with the local electricity
grid, in island mode operation, or
for power generation in remote
areas. Efficiency of up to 47.8% in
Jenbacher engines also means
outstanding fuel economy.
Methaneo awards plant contract to Weltec Biopower
Weltec Biopower has will be building a 500 kW plant in Saint-Varent in Western France after winning a
contract from the project developer Methaneo which is seeking to develop its own designed for co-operative
agricultural biogas plants. Work has already started on
the site and the facility is scheduled for completion
and will begin providing electricity for the French grid
as early as July 2013.
Key to the provision of the biogas is a 4,900 m3
stainless-steel fermenter which is fed an agricultural
substrate mix consisting of grain residue, cattle slurry,
sheep droppings and chicken manure.
“The investment mood in France is positive for our
company’s segment,” commented Jens Albartus,
Weltec Biopower CEO [Left].
Last year, the French Environment and Energy
Management Agency for the development of
regenerative energies (ADEME) hreceived twice as
many project enquiries as in 2011.

luefield Partners LLP, the UK-based
solar energy investment manager,
backed by Jon Moulton, recently
announced the acquisition of one of the
largest solar arrays on an industrial site in
the UK.
Built on Toyota’s vehicle manufacturing
facility in Derbyshire, Bluefield acquired
the 4.1MW solar array from Centrica.
The acquisition supplements Bluefield’s
existing industrial solar energy portfolio,
which includes over 40 sites across the UK
and has seen the team close over of £40m
of solar transactions in the past 12 months.
The plant was built by British Gas Solar,
the wholly owned subsidiary of Centrica.
Bluefield and British Gas Solar have an
established track record in constructing
solar energy assets for industrial users.
In fact, the Toyota plant is a high profile
example for the company, having
previously worked successfully in
partnership in the funding, construction
and operation of solar energy plants for
multiple industrial companies.
Mike Rand, partner at Bluefield said:
“Bluefield believes that investing in
industrially connected solar energy
installations can provide real benefits for
UK industry and the environment whilst
delivering attractive investment
characteristics to private and institutional
investors.
“In addition to funding large ground
based solar energy installations, Bluefield
is working closely with British Gas Solar to
continue funding these kinds of solar
energy installations for major industrial
energy users in 2013”.
Chris Morrison of British Gas commented:
“Building on their established track record
in industrial energy, British Gas and
Bluefield have an offering available to new
industrial energy users to fund and install
large scale ground and rooftop solar
energy at no cost to the industrial user.

FROST & SULLIVAN REPORT
D
ata from the European Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Market
suggests that AMI revenue in Europe
is expected to grow from US$1.13 billion in
2011 to US$3.72 billion in 2016 at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
26.9%.
The research covers smart meters,
installation, communication systems and
network, meter data management (MDM)
and customer and programme data
management.
“Emerging smart grid technologies, which
support enhanced energy management,
will boost the installation of AMI in
Europe,” Frost & Sullivan Energy & Power
Supplies Research Analyst Neha Vikash,
tells WIP.
“The market is expected to witness
higher growth not only in smart meters and
the installation segments, but also in
communications networks, MDM, customer
and programme data management
segments as well.” Most companies in the
AMI space are not just the hardware
(meter) providers.
They combine them with important
services and appropriate functionalities in
communication infrastructure and data
management. These are the key
technologies for the deployment of
The world of the
smart meter is here
innovative solutions. Installation of
hardware does not generate a constant
stream of revenue.
Despite its obvious benefits, smart meter
implementation reveals regional
disparities. Market growth has been faster
in Western and Northern Europe.
The lack of regulatory drive and utility
implementations has affected installation
rates in Central and Eastern Europe.
It is expected that the smart metering
activity in the CEE region will follow the
Western European knowledge wave and
experience. “It is also expected that once
large scale roll out activity begins in
Central and Eastern Europe, the pace of
implementation will be
faster compared to that
of Western Europe,”
explains Nehah Vikash.
“Regulatory approval,
along with increased
competition, and ageing
infrastructure, and new
technology will continue
to drive investments in
advanced metering and in
the new intelligent grid
technologies.”
Nevertheless, all those
EU member states that lack the regulatory
push for deployment will experience large-
scale implementation after 2015, as they
have to comply with the EU’s Third Energy
Directive, or pay a high penalty fee.
“AMI is an important step towards
achieving the EU 20-20-20 goal which
states that by 2020, 80% of households
must have smart meters and complete
rollout achieved by 2022,” elaborated
Vikash. “Government mandates will,
therefore, be a key driver for AMI
deployment.”
In addition to legislation, the lack of
communication standards and security
issues also play a major role in determining
market prospects.
In fact, data security is an issue among all
member states, but it is of higher
importance in the UK, Germany and the
Netherlands.
This has resulted in a delay in smart
meter roll out plans by utilities.
“Standardisation is likely to affect future
smart meter sales, development and
innovation,” concluded Vikash.

Legislation and standardisation are set to catalyse the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
market in Europe. At last, the market is beginning to see the development of smart meters and
AMI to begin mass rollouts, suggests research by Frost & Sullivan.

n December 2012 the Samsung-led
consortium, which currently includes
China’s Shanghai Electric and the local
Al-Toukhi, was awarded a deal with an
estimated value of US$1.5bn for the
engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) of the $3bn power and
desalination plant.
Samsung has been competing against
China’s Sepco III Electric Power
Corporation for the contract. The client
for the project, Saudi Arabia’s Saline
Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC),
had received bids from four groups in
November 2011 for the EPC deal and
reduced the shortlist to two competing
bidders earlier in 2012.
The 3,100 MW power plant will be built
in Al-Madinah Province and will supply
electricity to the Yanbu Industrial complex
after the project is complete in 48
months.
“We are pleased to have this opportunity
to contribute to the development of the
Kingdom as this power plant will produce
the power needed for the industrial
complex,” said Samsung Engineering’s
President & CEO Park Ki-Seok.
He concluded: “Samsung Engineering has
a strong standing in the power plant
business - and this is the third power
plant we have received in Saudi Arabia
since 2011. We look forward to exceeding
SWCC’s expectations with the safe and on-
time delivery of the Yanbu power plant
project.”
Construction commences
on Yanbu 3 in Saudi Arabia
The power generation plant in Yanbu
Industrial City currently has a capacity of
1,030 MW. There are nine gas turbine
units – eight of 56.2 MW each and one of
68 MW – with a total capacity of 517.6
MWs. The plant also has three steam
turbine units of 127.5 MW each with total
capacity of 382.5 MW, and one steam
turbine unit of 130 MW. The steam turbine
units supply auxiliary steam for the
desalination plant in case of emergency.
Two additional steam turbine units are
under construction, which will add 500
MW to the plant’s total capacity.
The electric generators deliver power at
13.8kV to the main transformers that step
up the voltage to 115 kV and connect the
power to a 115kV switchyard.
The gas turbines use sales gas as main
fuel for power generation, with diesel
(Light Fuel Oil) serving as back-up fuel.
The steam turbines use heavy fuel oil
(HFO) as primary fuel.
The gas turbines are linked to five heat
recovery steam generators (HRSGs) that
produce 811 t/h of steam. They supply
process steam to the desalination and
steam turbine plants. Steam is also
relayed to the heavy fuel oil tanks at the
tank farm.
to keep the oil at the desired tempera-
ture for pumping.
Two 4.2 MW black-start diesel generator
units are available to restore the power
supply in case of a wide-area outage.
The power complex also has a hydrogen
plant consisting of two hydrogen genera-
tors. Each has a production capacity of
424 standard cubic feet per hour (scfh) of
99 percent purity hydrogen gas. Hydrogen
gas is used in the petrochemical industry,
mostly for fossil fuel processing and
ammonia production.
Power transmission and distribution is
done through an underground network of
115KV, 34.5KV and 13.8KV cables. The
Yanbu Industrial City transmission and dis-
tribution network is interconnected with
the 380KV grid of Saudi Electric Company
at SWCC Yanbu through a 380KV intertie
between Marafiq’s power plant and the
SWCC switchyard.

GERMANY REVIEW
T
he energy sector in Germany
remains one of the biggest in the
world with state-of-the-art clean
energy industry. In 2011, for example, the
gross electric power generation in
Germany totalled 615 billion kWh.
Germany is the fifth largest consumer of
oil in the world - Russia, Norway, and the
UK are the largest exporters of oil to
Germany.
Germany is the third largest consumer of
natural gas in the world. Because of its
location at the center of Europe, Germany
is the fourth largest consumer of coal in
the world. Germany has the largest
market of electricity in Europe.
A major proportion of the electricity
supply is based on lignite (24.9 %), hard
coal (18.6 %) and nuclear energy (17.6 %).
Natural gas has a share of 13.7 %.
Renewables (wind, water, biomass, photo-
voltaic) account for 19.9 %.
The German economy is large and
developed, ranking fifth in the world by
GDP (PPP). Because of this, Germany
consumed the sixth most energy in the
world in between 2004 and 2007.
The main source of electricity for
Germany’s infrastructure is coal. A recent
plan to build 26 new coal plants is
regarded as controversial in light of
Germany’s energy
business - still fossil dependent
Germany's commitment
to curbing emissions.
Lignite is extracted in
the extreme western
and eastern parts of
the country, mainly in
Nordrhein-Westfalen,
Sachsen and
Brandenburg.
Considerable amounts
are burned in coal
plants near the mining
areas to produce
electricity and
transporting lignite
over far distances is
not economically
feasible; therefore, the plants are located
near the extraction sites.
Bituminous coal is mined in Nordrhein-
Westfalen and Saarland. Most power
plants burning bituminous coal operate on
imported material, therefore, the plants
are located not only near to the mining
sites, but throughout the country.
Germany is the world’s largest
operators of non-hydro renewables
capacity in the world, including the
world’s second largest operator of wind
generation.
Germany's once soaring photovoltaic
(PV) sector has certainly suffered
economically – a consequence primarily of
cheap Chinese imports, reports Vestas.
Experts in Germany suggest that the
German wind industry can expect even
tougher competition coming its way soon,
probably from China.
Solar panel manufacturers in Germany
have been bankrupted: competition with
China and others led to a glut and prices
fell between 2009 - 2010.
Sven Kirrmann of Germany's Renewable
Energies Agency commented: "China wind
turbines are not quite up to the German
or European level yet on wind turbine
technology. But that could change."
He highlights the fact that wind power
involves much more maintenance than
solar modules, and that the German
companies have a reputation for providing
a high quality of maintenance.
Germany is Europe's leading wind
turbine manufacturer, currently third in
the global market behind China and the
US. Germany is also the world's third
largest user of wind power, behind China
and US. The sector's revenues, which
boomed from 2003 to 2008, have dwin-
dled by 25% according to a recent study
by the consulting firm Oliver Wyman,
even though 2011 logged modest gains.
Germany's onshore wind sector lead the
nation's renewables field in 2011 with 33%
of the market share and an annual
turnover of €8.16 billion, up 7% from
2010.
The share of electricity produced from renewable energy in Germany has increased from 6.3% of
the national total in 2000 to over 25% in the first half of 2012. The renewable energy share
of gross electricity consumption also rose from 10% in 2005 to 20% in 2011, reports WIP.

hat are the main product fea-
tures which will be important to
customers?
Melf Thomsen: We achieved three big
advances that will matter to customers:
Efficiency, ability to operate in island
mode, and maintenance intervals. The
electrical efficiency of the genset is now
as high as 44.1%, which permits an output
of 3333 to 4300 kW el. Based on the
excellent experience we have already had
with predecessor versions, we were able
to increase the service interval for major
overhauls from 64,000 to 80,000 operating
hours.
How is MWM meeting market needs with
this development?
Melf Thomsen: The main customer
requirement at the beginning of the
project was to improve the load response
capability of the gensets and
simultaneously increase the electrical
efficiency at full load.
This led to the engineering task of
increasing the reserve boost pressure of
the turbocharger at partial loads in order
to make it possible to add and shed larger
loads than before. The losses at the
throttle valve in continuous operation at
4,300 kW el had to be reduced in order to
achieve higher efficiency. At the same
time, the units needed to have sufficient
reserve at full load to handle short-term
New version of the TCG
2032 gas engines available
fluctuations in temperature and gas
quality without a change in output.
How did you achieve this goal?
MT: From these requirements we
determined that three main measures
were needed: Modification of the
turbocharger, modification of the geome-
try of the MWM pre-chamber spark plugs
and the introduction of a multivariable
controller. This controller simultaneously
manages actuators found on the gas
engine, such as the throttle valve, gas
mixer and wastegate.
Can you explain these measures in
detail?
MT: The two turbochargers which are
installed as standard equipment on the
TCG 2032 V12 and V16 engines were
equipped with a new exhaust gas turbine.
Based on the increases in efficiency on
the exhaust gas side, a higher boost
pressure is automatically provided on the
compressor side of the turbocharger.
This higher boost pressure becomes
particularly advantageous in the partial-
load range in adding or shedding
electrical loads.
In addition to the turbochargers, the
MWM pre-chamber spark plug, already a
proven feature of MWM engines, was
modified. This pre-chamber principle
achieves higher efficiency and
simultaneously reduces maintenance costs
and makes for simpler peripheral
equipment.
The modified spark plug geometry
accelerates and stabilises combustion in
the TCG 2032 gas engine. This results in
an improved utilization of the gas-air
mixture in the combustion chamber, which
makes the engine more efficient.
What role does the TEM controller play
in the new TCG 2032?
MT: Probably the most important change
in the new version of the TCG 2032 gas
engine is the introduction of a new
controller, which combines the individual
controllers that were previously used on
the engine.
In the past, the actuators on the engine
were accessed by various controllers for
engine output, rpm, emissions and boost
pressure (each separately from the
other).
When electrical loads were added to
the unit, the throttle valve was first
opened completely, then the gas mixer
was adjusted, and then the waste gate
was closed after a bit of delay.
When these control functions are com-
bined in a multivariable controller, all of
the actuators are addressed by a single
controller, so that they immediately work
together in order to meet the needs of
the given situation.
With this approach, it was possible to
increase the individual load levels. So now
only nine load levels are needed up to full
load.
After two years of concerted continuing development work, the new version of the TCG 2032
has been released. WIP put five key questions to Melf Thomsen, project manager at MWM
about the gas engine’s radically-new technical advances and applications.

012 was a special year for Turner
EPS as their parent company; Turner
& Co (Glasgow) Ltd, the holding
company of the Turner Group, celebrated
its centenary.
Initially founded in 1912 as a supplier to
the emerging automotive industry, the
Turner Group has evolved through steady
organic growth as well as acquisition.
Although the individual Group Companies
spans a remarkably diverse range of
sectors, first-class service to customers is
the principal object of every single
activity.
A third-generation family-owned and
controlled business, the group enjoys a
turnover in excess of £270m, a reputation
for profit retention and a solid financial
base from which to operate.
Today, the debt-free Turner Group's
progressive activities broadly divide into
three areas: Engineering Services; diesel
engineering, generator services, aviation
and installation services, Support
Services; facilities management, mainte-
nance services, access, power solutions
and Asset Sales/Rental Services; access,
groundscare, vehicles, power generation,
pumps, tankers and portable cold stores.
Commemorations began back in January
2012, with the publication of a
'storyboard' for employees that catalogues
the early history of the company, and a
‘company timeline’ that illustrates how
far the business has grown; from a two
man operation in 1912 to the diverse
group of companies, today it employs
around 2,000 people worldwide.
Employees, both past and present have
Turner EPS’s parent
company celebrate 100 years
contributed to the storyboard with
photos, memorabilia and anecdotes from
their time with the Turner Group.
This generated additional interest for
the storyboard, as it 'toured' round the
various site locations throughout the year.
In looking for a theme to mark the
centenary celebrations, our employees
opted to support the WellChild Charity.
Staff throughout the UK and overseas
took part in various 'helping hands'
activities mostly working directly with
disadvantaged children.
In addition to providing direct practical
support, employees also arranged a
number of fundraising activities that
resulted in nearly £17,000 being raised,
for WellChild.
The final cheque presentation was made
in December as the centenary calibrations
came to a close.
Planning for the centenary year gave
the Group an opportunity to reflect on
the many changes the company has been
through over its 100 years while at the
same time keeping the focus on
maintaining a robust business for the
future.
Continued investment in the company
has resulted in the reintroduction of
apprenticeship programmes across a
number of group companies providing new
talent for the future.
Some Group companies have also
relocated premises during 2012 and with
planned refurbishment work for the Head
Office at Craigton Road during 2013 the
working environment for many of our
employees has been and will be
significantly improved.
Gordon Turner (Chairman) said: "It is a
great pleasure to thank on behalf of the
Board the efforts of all our staff, whose
dedication and hard work has contributed
so much to our success today after 100
years in business, and is the key to the
secure and long term future that is so
valuable to everyone across the Group."
Initially founded in 1912 as a supplier to the emerging automotive industry, the Turner Group of
Companies spans a remarkably diverse range of sectors - however, offering first-class service to
customers is the principal object of every single activity, reports Gary Peacock.

COMPANY PROFILE
T
urner EPS was formed in 2009
following a strategic decision taken
by the Turner Group to combine
specific Group companies into one
organisation that could offer a ‘one-stop
shop’ service related to power generation
for the oil & gas, industrial and marine
markets.
The Group companies brought together
were; Turner Diesel Ltd, Tilsley & Lovatt
Ltd and FlameTec Ltd.
Now Turner EPS is made up four distinct
business units who deliver world class

for a Zone 2 application. The application
was fuel transfer at a UK South Coast,
Petroleum Terminal.
The pumps were manufactured by a
reputable UK company and supplied to
Turner EPS for installation on the engine
equipment skid.
The required pump power characteristics
meant that the JCB444 naturally-aspirated
engine was an excellent match for the
power demand. Turner EPS have long-
standing experience converting the
JCB444 for Zone 2 applications, ATEX
94/9/EC, Category 3G equipment.

O
perating seven nursing homes in
the UK, across the counties of
Shropshire and into Cheshire,
Morris Care has been providing specialist
care to the elderly, mentally frail and
physically disabled since 1989.
According to Morris Care’s Director,
Timothy Morris, even the smallest
interruption of power supply can leave a
nursing home in a critical position.
“In these circumstances, a seamless
supply of power is needed to keep high-
tech healthcare equipment and nursing
home life running. Reliability is
paramount, particularly when looking
after over 300 residents,” he said.
“A prolonged interruption in the supply
of power can put residents, equipment
and computer software at risk” Timothy
Morris told WIP.
With reliability and noise output in
mind, Morris Care purchased the
DCA180ESEI 150kVA Denyo super silent
generator for Stretton Hall, near Church
Stretton, and the DCA125ESEI 100kVA
Denyo super silent generator for Oldbury
Grange, near Bridgnorth. Both products
were supplied by Morris Site Machinery
(formerly known as ArcGen Hilta).
Morris explained: “These generators are
Silent nights assured
thanks to Morris Site Machinery
the quietest on the
market and cause no
disruption for our
residents who are
relaxing, resting or
sleeping.”
He said: “They are
also supremely
reliable.
“When you have
patients and residents
in your care, you need
to be sure your
generators will work
efficiently when the
time comes, regardless
of whether you’ve used
it recently or not.”
As well as reliability,
Morris Site Machinery’s
Denyo super silent generators offer a wide
range of additional safety features which
make them an ideal choice for the
emergency services and health care
sector.
They are fitted with earth leakage
protection which automatically turn off
electrical flow if a problem is detected,
as well as emergency stop buttons and
automatic engine shutdown as standard.
Each unit has lockable panels and side
doors to allow for easy access to the unit
and a brushless alternator, which reduces
the need for maintenance.
To extend running times and minimise
refuelling periods and costs, the super
silent generator has three-way fuel valves
which enable connection to external fuel
tanks.
“The super silent generators have
exceeded our expectations and having
them in place gives us much needed
peace of mind when contingency
planning,” concluded Timothy Morris.
The new trading name - Morris Site
Machinery - was adopted by the Midlands-
based gen-set supplier, to align it more
closely with its parent company, Morris &
Company, who acquired it in 2006.
As a dynamic, fifth generation family
business, Morris & Company has a 144
year track record of producing quality
products and services, with a strong
engineering heritage including Morris
Lubricants.
Chris Morris, Chief Executive of Morris
Site Machinery, said of the change: “After
our best trading year to date in 2012 we
want to build on this success to ensure we
are continuing to foster innovation and
progression within Morris Site Machinery,
delivering world class products to our
customers both in the UK and overseas.”
Committed to delivering the very best in quality nursing care across its seven nursing homes,
UK-based Morris Care has bought super-silent generators from MSM to provide reliable and
uninterrupted power should a power failure occur, reports WIP.

GEN-SETS
C
ommercially known as the Power
Cube Generator, a reference to its
size and shape, this is the new
500kW gen-set from HIMOINSA.
The Power Cube offers a high degree of
adaptability, and can be easily adapted to
projects with reduced space availability,
where 20-foot containers cannot be used.
In addition to this, the model has been
certified by the International Convention
for Safe Containers (CSC), allowing
consignment of two units by sea, as
though it were a standard 20-foot
container.
At 500kW in 10 feet, with 50kW
power/foot, the Power Cube offers a
considerable power density which allows
extreme optimisation of logistics and unit
handling.
The set is prepared to be synchronised
and provide extra power; it is available in
ISO sizes of 20-foot for 1000kw, 30-foot
for 1500kw, and 40-foot for 2000kw, etc.
The generating set has an electric fan
which allows reduction of acoustic
emissions and therefore use of the unit in
residential areas and events.
It is often in these scenarios where high
power is required; there is little space
available, and low noise generation is
necessary. In addition, self-sufficiency is
ensured by rapid external fuel inlets.
Power Cube - a new
500kW resource for the industry
Another of the
leading products in the
HIMOINSA rental range
is the HRTW 1300 dual
frequency container,
ideal for use in IPP
(Interim Power Plant),
rental, mining,
construction, quarrying
and ports, among
others.
With the efficiency of
dual frequency, the
same equipment can
generate both at 50 Hz
and 60 Hz.
This generator was
created to meet the
needs of the rental and
construction markets,
as well as all possible
heavy duty applications.
For this reason, it offers great
advantages in comparison with other
types of products which also operate in
this sector.
It has a variable speed fan to reduce
fuel consumption and noise emission, as
well as a system for interior lighting,
which ensures total accessibility for
cleaning and maintenance.
HIMOINSA, a Spanish company in the power generation sector, has launched a new 500kW
power generator in a 10-foot container. Originally designed for the North American market its
success has been the catalyst for an adaptation in the European sector too, reports WIP.

ast year the Erneuerbare Energien
GmbH & Co farming consortium of
Northern Germany ordered a new
CHP plant. The finished facility had to be
connected to the grid in addition to
heating a SCHNELL Motoren AG company
building and a nearby commercial
greenhouse.
The plant is fuelled by agricultural
matter: 40% animal slurry and 60%
fermented biomass consisting of corn, rye
and grass, among others.
The resulting gas from fermentation
fuels generators which provide electricity
which is supplied to the grid. Today, the
waste heat is captured and used to heat a
nearby greenhouse facility - operated by a
family‑run horticulture business - as well
as the regional SCHNELL company
building.
SCHNELL was responsible for the design
and installation of the biogas power plant,
and specified four industrial STAMFORD
HC4 generators, rated at 350 kVA each.
The plant now consists of four dual fuel
265 kW generating sets running 24-hours-
a-day, 7-days-a-week providing regular
Biogas fuels EEG’s new
CHP plant project in Germany
and dependable
continuous power.
The generating sets
provide industry-
leading electrical
efficiencies of 47% by
using additional
efficiency enhance-
ments, thus providing a
maximum return on
investment for the
customer, which is
expected within eight
years, reports
Cummins.
The STAMFORD HC4
range of 4- pole, single
or 2-bearing AVR
controlled industrial
generators feature
engine adaptors to
SAE 0, 1/2, 1, 2 & 3; coupling discs to SAE
11 1/2, 14 & 18 are also provided for
HC4.
The windings used on the range are 12-
wire reconnectable, with voltages
available range up to 690V. IP23
enclosure protection is provided as
standard.
The generating sets used in this power
plant were assembled at SCHNELL’s
headquarters in Amtzell, southern
Germany, where STAMFORD HC4
generators were coupled with Scania-
SCHNELL engines.
A spokesman told WIP: “STAMFORD
generators clearly provide the operators
with both confidence and value over the
lifetime of this project.
“As a customer of Cummins Generator
Technologies, SCHNELL benefits from
having highly trained, knowledgeable
engineers at its disposal, a dedicated
account manager, as well as the assurance
of a premium aftersales support
service.”
Rodewald, Germany: a local consortium of farmers in Germany needed four generating sets for a
brand new biogas power plant in northern Germany. SCHNELL was responsible for the design
and installation, and specified four industrial STAMFORD HC4 generators, reports WIP.

SWITCHGEAR
T
he new facilities at Yanbu are being
developed by the Saline Water
Conversion Corporation (SWCC), the
country’s government agency responsible
for desalinating sea water and the second
largest electric power producer in the
country.
ABB’s order was received from the Al
Fanar Group, a leading engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC)
company.
The desalination plant, which is
scheduled to be commissioned in June
2014, is located in Yanbu Industrial City, a
major port on the Red Sea in the Al
Madinah province of western Saudi Arabia.
The plant will have a capacity to
produce 550,000 cubic metres of
desalinated water per day. Saudi Arabia is
the world’s largest producer of
desalinated water and SWCC operates 27
desalination stations producing more than
three million cubic metres per day of
potable water.
The ABB portfolio for gas-insulated high
ABB supplies switchgear
for Yanbu, Saudi Arabia
voltage switchgear comprises several
modular designed model ranges for volt-
age ratings from 52 kV up to 1100 kV.
ABB has more than 14,000 installed bays
in almost 2,500 substations in over 70
countries. ABB’s Modular Switchgear
Monitoring (MSM) is
an add-on system
designed to
supervise SF6-gas
density. The system
is suitable for all
kinds of switchgear
layouts and
operates independ-
ently of existing
control and protec-
tion devices. MSM is
applicable for new
substations and for
retrofit of existing
installations, says
ABB..
ABB’s ELK-04 meet
demanding quality
requirements. All functional modules are
typetested according to IEC-Standard (IEC
62271-203). They offer high availability
with reduced operating and maintenance
costs to guarantee excellent substation
productivity, says the manufacturer.
“These new plants where ABB’s highly
reliable GIS equipment is being installed,
will help address the country’s increasing
need for potable water and also support
the growing demand for electricity,” said
Giandomenico Rivetti, head of ABB’s High
Voltage products business, a part of the
company’s Power Products division.
In a new contract, ABB will install and
commission a substation to help meet the
increased demand for electricity in and
round the central pilgrimage area of
Makkah. The substation, which deploys
ABB’s compact and robust gas-insulated
switchgear (GIS) technology, will be
located in a congested area.

DATA CENTRES
U
nplanned and costly downtime is
an increasing problem and the
ultimate nightmare for data centre
managers. Even a brief cut in service can
have severe consequences for companies
relying on the facility to operate.
Businesses which rely on websites to
function will instantly begin to lose money
if their host cuts out. An increasing
number of companies are left completely
paralysed and unable to communicate
without access to their networks and
depending on the business, loss of service
can cost tens of thousands of pounds an
hour.
Human error, natural disasters and
system failure can all be the cause of
unplanned downtime. It is difficult to
completely avoid the failure of IT gear
and human error is one element that is
impossible to eradicate from the down-
time equation entirely. It is therefore
increasingly important that data centre
managers fit their data centre with a
reliable backup generator.
However, it is not enough to simply have
a sturdy diesel backup on standby – any
backup procedures must be thoroughly
tested for reliability. If not, data centre
managers could be dealing with some
serious consequences.
In 2009, IBM’s Warwick-based data
centre was taken down for several hours
Reducing the strain on
your power supply
thanks to a power
outage. Although its
recovery centre was
backed by full
Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) and
generators, the power
failure was followed by
an unfortunate
generator failure. This
considerably prolonged
the outage period as
the system had to be
restarted in a
structured sequence.
Customers using the
data centre to host
their mission critical
systems could not use
them for several hours
causing loss in both time and profit.
More recently internet provider Level 3
suffered from a major power cut at their
data centre in East London. The failure
lasted for roughly five hours and was
supposedly caused by a disruption to the
UPS system, which is meant to protect
computers and network equipment in the
event of an unexpected electrical failure.
Many businesses with their internet
traffic routed through the data centre
were severely affected.
These examples prove that thorough and
regular checks of backup procedures
really are essential. Every data centre
manager must be able to trust their back
up solutions completely.
The more energy efficient a data centre
is, the less strain there will be on the
generator. Actively monitoring and
reducing the power usage of a site, where
possible, can decrease this pressure.
Effective cooling systems can help.
Natural air cooling, in particular, is
becoming an increasingly attractive and
cost-effective option.
A recent survey by The Green Grid found
that natural options saved 20% on energy
costs and 7% on maintaining cooling
systems.
Low energy Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor
lighting can also be used to reduce the
strain on power supply. This lighting
senses the movement of individuals and
will only light up an area that is in use.
By regularly testing the condition of
backup generators, data centre managers
can increase their peace of mind.
As expertise and technology ensures the
market is entering a new and exciting era,
those who are unable to maintain the
trust of their customers will be left
behind.
The UK invested £2.19bn into the data centre market from 2011 - 2012 and demand for data
centre capacity is on the rise as companies look to expand current IT capabilities and outsource to
the cloud, reports Edward Jones, CEO of PMB Holdings and MK DataVault.

RENEWABLES
S
olea Renewables completed and
commissioned the world’s first 1MW
ground-mounted diesel/photovoltaic
hybrid electric power plant for industrial
mining applications near Johannesburg,
South Africa.
The decentralised 1MW DC hybrid PV
system was planned and installed for
Cronimet Energy South Africa (Pty)
Limited to fuel Cronimet Mining’s
chromium ore operations.
The innovative and environmentally
responsible renewable energy solution will
allow the mining company to power their
daytime operations with a decentralised
grid-independent power supply.
The 1 MW PV plant will deliver
approximately 1.8 GWh of electricity per
year, allowing the mining company to
materially reduce its daytime diesel
consumption and capitalise on a natural
long-term hedge against rising diesel
costs.
The fully integrated PV plant was
constructed on Solea’s Renewables’
galvanised steel and aluminum fixed-tilt
racking system mounted to its proprietary
helical steel screw foundation.
The racking system was planned with 63
South Africa’s mining
operations go solar
tables, each with 66
panels mounted in
three vertically mount-
ed PV Panel rows
angled at 25° north.
The total height of the
three panel rows is less
than three metres.
A total of 4,170
JinkoSolar JKM240P-60
polycrystalline PV
panels were installed
and 63 three-phase
decentralised SMA
17000TL inverters were
installed, each with a
nominal AC power
rating of 17kVA.
The PV system was
designed around the
mine’s existing primary
diesel ‘island mode’ power infrastructure
and synchronised to the two existing
800kVa diesel gensets by using SMA’s Fuel
Save Controller software.
The software monitors and regulates the
diesel gensets’ output in a real-time and
consistent relationship with the PV plant’s
output.
The software computes the maximum
amount of PV power that the island mode
system can safely consume to ensure
stability of the supply and the most
effective use of renewable PV power.
Solea AG’s CEO, Anton Schweiger
commented: “The realisation of our first
grid-independent utility scale hybrid PV
plant was a successful market entry for
the Solea group. Southern Africa is a key
growth market for Solea and our diesel
hybrid PV systems are ready to roll out.”
Rollie Armstrong, Director of Solea
Capital GmbH adds: “Hybrid PV systems
provide mining operators in remote
locations with low or no existing
infrastructure with a reliable 20 to 30-
year power source alternative to
electrifying daytime mining operations
with only diesel gensets.”
In a related contract, Solea Capital
GmbH - a daughter company of Solea AG
- has begun the system delivery and
construction of a 6 MW PV project in
Romania.
Located approximately 50 kilometres
north of Bucharest near the town of
Ploieşti, this 6 MW PV project marks
Solea’s inaugural EPC step into the
Romanian market.
The PV system will be integrated with
ReneSola’s high efficiency 156 series 250W
polycrystalline Virtus II panel, SMA’s 850CP
XT inverter.
Solea Renewables Pty Limited recently completed and commissioned a 1 MW ground-mounted,
diesel/photovoltaic (PV) hybrid power plant for industrial mining applications. This is the first
operational solar installation to be used to power the South African mining sector, reports WIP.

CONTROLLERS
P
ole slip, also called out-of-step, is a
specific phenomenon, caused either
by low excitation, faulty regulator
or abrupt changes of load within the
mains.
This causes severe mechanical stress on
the machine, putting windings at risk,
shaft damage or affecting the normal
operation of control systems.
Moreover, the very high currents can be
Preventing Pole Slip
from affecting the grid
thermally very
devastating and lead to
complete generator
destruction and
massive instability to
the grid.
Conventional power
protection, such as
overcurrent, vector shift
or ROCOF, is not
sufficient
because it
is neither
fast nor
reliable enough, especially if
oscillations caused by large
load jumps develop, says
ComAp.
The innovative patent-
pending solution for pole slip
protection from ComAp, the
Czech generator and engine
control manufacturer,
strengthens the overall
protection of synchronous
generators, meets current
legislation. The solution
provides improved ‘peace of
mind’ by preventing
unnecessary damage to
embedded power systems,
both large and small.
This brand new technology
predicts imminent pole slip
occurrence in time to
minimise the destructive
effects of lost synchronism
without any complicated
settings.
ComAp delivers solutions
for its customers - e.g. in the
UK, where pole slip
protection might be required
by the utilities on all the
STOR (Short Term Operating Reserve) type
projects for gen-sets.
ComAp pole slip protection is currently
fitted in following products: InteliPro,
InteliGen NT BaseBox, InteliGen NTC
BaseBox and InteliSys NT BaseBox.
To avoid any dangerous situation, like the vast rolling power black-out which occurred in the US
in 2003, generator operators should embed protection against pole slip and so prevent the grid
from island non-synchronous operation, reports ComAp.

introduced an air-assisted nozzle which uses air jets to bracket the wash fuid and
project it into compressor intakes with larger dimensions and faster air fows. The
new nozzle is designed to replace the existing nozzle, but fewer are required. For
the new system, only the same total volume of washing solution is needed to achieve
improved wetting of the surfaces to be cleaned.

With a double-digit million order volume MAN Diesel
& Turbo has supplied a steam turbine generator set
for a melting plant belonging to the Norwegian
company Finnfjord AS, enabling the plant to
increase its energy efficiency by around 40%. Given
an electricity output of 40 megawatts, the turbine
set is used to render waste heat from the
production process usable, by converting it into
electricity with the generator.
Lying north of the Arctic Circle, the Finnfjord AS
plant produces ferro-silicon, a supplementary mate-
rial for manufacturing steel and cast iron. Having
invested a sum total of 100 million Euros, the
Norwegian company has achieved its ambitious aim
of constructing the world’s most efficient ferro-
silicon production plant, taking this energy intensive
process to a new level. Compared to conventional
electricity generation from hard coal for example,
the efficiency increase equals a saving of around
240,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.
The key technology behind this aim is Norway’s
largest
steam
turbine, a
complete
set of steam
turbine and
generator,
supplied,
installed,
and commis-
sioned for
the first time by MAN Diesel & Turbo in September
2012. This has enabled the plant to recover
electricity from thermal energy that has not been
used until now. Generated in this way, power can
then be used directly in the plant’s production
process, thereby reducing by about 40% the quantity
of electricity from the grid. By consuming less
conventionally generated mains electricity, this
process not only benefits the environment, it also
enables Finnfjord AS to become less vulnerable to
rising energy prices.
“We were impressed not only by MAN Diesel &
Turbo’s technological expertise, but above all by the
company’s highly flexible approach,” Geir-Henning
Wintervoll, CEO of Finnfjord AS, tells WIP.
“Despite the higher requirements the project posed
as it progressed, we were able to meet the narrow
time schedule. MAN Diesel & Turbo high-
performance technology has enabled us to achieve
our ambitious aim of making the Finnfjord plant the
most efficient in the world.”
