COVER STORY: RENEWABLE TOP PLANTS
30 Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm, UK
A Danish company and the UK government demonstrate just how smoothly offshore
wind generation can be developed. Projects like this 90-MW one are proving that the
Old World is more forward-thinking than the New World when it comes to state-of-
the-art wind power.
34 Central Vermont Public Service Cow Power Program
Imagine thanking the same farmer for the milk on your cereal and the electricity that
brews your morning coffee. Thats the case for nearly 3% of one Vermont utilitys
customers.
40 Nevada Solar One
Interest in solar thermal plants is growing, thanks to rising electricity costs, state re-
newable mandates, plus improved materials and energy conversion efficiency. This
Nevada plant may be called Solar One, but it wont be the last one built.
46 Raft River Geothermal Project, Idaho
Add together increased demand for renewable power, a combination of federal and
state incentives, proven resources, plus basic infrastructure, and youve got one hot
site for a profitable geothermal power plant.
52 Steel Winds Project, New York
Small in size but large in its list of firsts and unique attributes, this steel mills to
windmills project proves that renewable energy projects dont have to be big to
have a big impact.

SPEAKING OF POWER
Carbon credits and debits
C
arbon control legislation made it out of a subcommittee of
the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works
in late October, but no one is happy with it. The bill, S. 2191,
Americas Climate Security Act of 2007, would direct the U.S. EPA
to establish a program to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases
(GHGs). Though it doesnt stand a chance of moving beyond the
Senate floor, it does highlight the most contentious issues facing
any attempt to legislatively control CO
2
emissions.
Besides providing financial aid to low- and middle-income
taxpayers to help them adapt to new energy-efficiency rules, and
funding a program to accelerate the development and deploy-
ment of innovative energy technologies, S. 2191 would:
Require the three sectors that account for 75% of Americas
CO
2
emissions (electric utilities, industrial manufacturing, and
oil refining) to lower their emissions to 2005 levels by 2012,
to 1990 levels (about a 15% reduction) by 2020, and to 65%
below 1990 levels by 2050.
Create a cap-and-trade program for six GHGs, with the caps
proportional to the gases global warming potential. Some
20% of the tradable emissions allowances would be given to
existing carbon generators; the rest would be auctioned. Total
credits available would then be ratcheted down over 24 years
to meet the emissions-reduction goals.
If Congress is going to choose a cap-and-trade plan as its big
gun in the fight against climate change, then it should recognize
and acknowledge the collateral damage it will cause in terms
of economic inequities both domestically and internationally.
Blowback
Responses to the bill, which is still being marked up, were pre-
dictable. The Los Angeles Times editorialized that because the
cap-and-trade approach invites profiteering and cheating, the
newspaper favors a carbon tax. The Natural Resources Defense
Council likes cap-and-trade in concept but would like an ac-
celerated timeline and fewer credits handed to existing power
plants and factories. Lewis Hay, chairman of FPL Group (which
owns two nuclear plants, part of only two coal-fired stations,
and hundreds of wind turbines) also took issue with the initial
distribution of credits. Unfortunately, the . . . proposed [bill],
if left unchanged, would reward the countrys biggest emitters of
carbon dioxide with billions of dollars of free allowances.
In effect, any carbon control mandate would redistribute
wealth from those states (and their regulated utilities) with
lower electric rates (primarily due to more coal-fired genera-
tion) to those with more nuclear, gas-fired, and renewable
energy capacity. Is it fair to dole out some emissions credits
to coal-fired utilities to soften the blow on their customers,
whose rates will rise the most as a result of carbon caps? Thats
something for the 110th (or 111th) Congress to determine.
But, as the European Union learned the hard way, any cap-
and-trade scheme will lose credibility and efficacy if the public
decides that the initial allowances were oversupplied and badly
distributed, via grandfathering rather than auctioning.
Doctrines without borders
Not only would U.S. carbon cap-and-trade legislation create do-
mestic energy cost inequities, it would also have negligible prac-
tical impact on the international scene. By 2050, regardless of
any carbon legislation Congress adopts, or how fast the ratchet
handle is cranked, Americas CO
2
emissions will likely be only a
fraction of the worlds totaland the total is all that matters to
the climate. Americas Climate, as the bill puts it, is inextrica-
bly part of the global climate.
Many say that only the U.S. can provide the political lead-
ership and technology development needed to combat climate
change. Perhaps, but I doubt that China and India are wait-
ing for either. Having avoided signing on to the Kyoto Protocol,
neither country will be likely to stunt its economic growth to
comply with any future GHG-limiting global treaty.
Together, the U.S., the EU, China, and India currently account
for 56% of worldwide CO
2
emissions. To reduce worldwide atmo-
spheric concentrations of CO
2
, the entire industrialized world must
participate. If China and India dont endorse and comply with the
terms of the successor to the Kyoto Protocol, their carbon emis-
sions will overwhelm those of the rest of the world for generations
to come. In the meantime, the few who do adopt cap-and-trade
schemes will bear a disproportionate burden of carbon costs.
Coal: Asias energy present and future
If China makes good on plans to add as many as 500 coal-fired
plants over the next decade, they would account for half the
worlds total in that category. Having just passed the U.S. in
carbon emissions, China will surely increase its lead in coming
years. And dont forget India, which has 200 coal plants of its
own in development. The U.S. has a paltry few dozen serious
projects in the queue.
Chinas economy is growing at a white-hot 10% a year, and
it is being fueled by coal-fired electricity. Soon, it may also
be driven by nuclear power, thanks to a building program that
dwarfs oursmore than 30,000 MW of new reactors by 2020.
Although the new nukes wont produce any GHGs, their 30 GW of
clean capacity will be overwhelmed by the dirty capacity of
new Chinese coal plants growing at 8 GW a month over the past
two years. China doesnt have much choice. Use of natural gas is
limited by its high price and the countrys undeveloped pipeline
network. Big hydropower, represented by the Three Gorges Dam,
is by all accounts an environmental disaster.
Its time we realized that coal combustion will be increasing
in China and India for decades to come. If we spend trillions over
those same decades to reduce our CO
2
emissions in ways that
drive up power costs, the only guaranteed outcome is that China
and India are going to eat more of our economic lunch.

TVA may revive Bellefonte
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) has received the second complete
application to build a new nuclear plant in
as many months. On October 30, Tennes-
see Valley Authority (TVA) and the NuStart
consortium of nuclear utilities and reac-
tor vendors applied for a combined con-
struction and operating license (COL) for
two advanced pressurized water reactors
(PWRs) at TVAs 1,600-acre Bellefonte
Nuclear Plant site in Jackson County, Ala.
(Figure 1).
In September, NRG Energy Inc. be-
came the first U.S. energy company in 29
yearssince before the Three Mile Island
accidentto fully apply for a license for a
new nuclear plant (see POWER, November
2007, p. 6). NRG and the operator of two
PWRs at South Texas Project would like to
build two next-generation 1,350-MW boil-
ing water reactors (BWRs) designed by
General Electric adjacent to the existing
units, to more than double the sites gen-
erating capacity.
Bellefonte should be a familiar name to
industry graybeards. In December 1974,
the NRC issued TVA permits to build two
PWRs there. Fourteen years later, with Unit
1 90% complete and Unit 2 a little more
than half-done, TVAs board of directors
deferred further construction in response
to lower-than-expected load growth. The
project remained in limbo until November
2005, when TVA officially notified the NRC
that it was cancelled. The construction
permits then were withdrawn.
Ducks in a row. TVAs COL applica-
tion for Bellefonte specifies the use of
two AP1000 advanced passive reactors
from Westinghouse Electric Co., which
was bought by Toshiba Corp. in 2006.
This July, Westinghouse signed contracts
with the Chinese government to build
four plants based on the AP1000 by 2015.
Since one of the deals calls for transfer-
ring details of the reactors technology
(Figure 2) to a government agency, the
AP1000 will likely be a linchpin of Chinas
nuclear power future.
Although TVA has not yet committed to
build the new reactors, industry observ-
ers cite several reasons for believing that
Bellefonte 2.0 has a good chance of com-
ing to fruition. For one, the federal utility
does not face the financial pressures that
make investor-owned utilities risk-averse.
Whats more, the Bellefonte site still has
intact and useful infrastructure built for
the aborted project, including plenty of
transmission lines. And TVA has the sup-
port of NuStart, which has been working
with it on the Bellefonte COL submittal
for the past two years.
Participating with NuStart in this ap-
plication is a cost-effective way to pre-
serve TVAs nuclear power option for the
future as we continue to explore and
develop the best alternatives to meet
growing demand for electricity in the Ten-
nessee Valley, said Bill McCollum, TVAs
chief operating officer. Like other utili-
ties, we face long lead times to build and
start new plants needed to meet around-
the-clock baseload power demand.

Timing is everything. NuStart chose
Bellefonte in September 2005 as one of
two sites for which it said it would de-
velop and submit COL applications. The
other is Entergy Nuclears Grand Gulf plant
in Mississippi; if the NRC approves a fu-
ture application, the site would add an
advanced BWR of the same type that NRG
envisions building at South Texas.
If the NRC approves the Bellefonte ap-
plication, its COL license would be issued
to TVA. But NuStarts members also would
benefit by being able to reference TVAs
Bellefonte application for any AP1000
reactor designs they might submit. In-
deed, four of the consortiums utilities
have announced plans to submit COL ap-
plications for AP1000 projects to the NRC
by the end of 2008 that will make that
reference.
Support by NuStart (which is itself
backed by a U.S. Department of Energy
subsidy) made the decision to apply for
the Bellefonte COL a no-brainer for TVA.
While the utility is addressing the last
nagging problems at Browns Ferry Unit
1 (see POWER, November 2007, p. 30 for
an inside look at the Alabama reactors
restart this May), it is preparing to spend
an estimated $2.5 billion over the next
five years to complete the unfinished
Unit 2 at its Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in
Tennessee. If all goes according to plan,
the Watts Bar 2 project will be wrapping
up when the NRC issues a COL for Belle-
fonte, freeing up funds for a construc-
tion project that could cost $10 billion
or more.
The NRC says it expects to receive up
to 21 applications for as many as 30 new
reactors over the next few years. The pro-
posed new units have enjoyed tremendous
support from the Bush administration and
the U.S. Congress, which included in the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 loan guarantees
and cost-overrun support of up to $2 bil-
lion, spread over as many as six plants,
as well as a production tax credit of 1.8
cents/kWh for six years, totaling as much
as $125 million annually.
GEs globetrotting
Jenbachers
A nations wealth determines its ability
to reduce emissions of the greenhouse
gases we now know contribute to global
warming and climate change. That is clear
from a survey of recent installations of GE
Energys Jenbacher reciprocating engines
in three countries.
Those in the two richer countries burn
coal-mine methane that would otherwise
be released, or make municipal energy
systems more efficient, thereby reducing
their average fuel consumption and emis-
sions. Of necessity, the rationale for the
reciprocating plants in the poorest coun-
try is increasing reliability, rather than
mitigating environmental impact.
First stop: China. The reciprocating
engine plant powered by coal mine meth-
ane that Shanxi Yang Quan Coal Industry
(Group) Co. Ltd. built this May (and that
GE commissioned three months later) is
atypical because it isnt a mine-mouth
plant. Its fuel is extracted from an active
coal mine and delivered via pumps, stor-
age tanks, and pipelines several miles to
the companys Shentangzui Power Plant in
Yang Quan, 60 miles north of Taiyuan City,
the capital of coal-rich Shanxi Province.
The new plant has four Jenbacher
Model JGS 620 GS-S.L. engine-generators
with a maximum output of 3 MW and a
thermal efficiency of 40.6%. The gensets
were manufactured at GEs gas engine
headquarters and manufacturing center in
Jenbach, Austria.
Next stop: Bangladesh. One of the
worlds poorest nations, Bangladesh des-
perately needs reliable electricitywhat-
ever its carbon footprintto support its
industrial economy and raise its citizens
standard of living. Because factories cant
depend on power from the public grid,
on-site generation is an attractive alter-
native, and one made even more so by the
regional abundance of low-cost natural
gas (Figure 3), as demonstrated by these
installations:
The textile companies Parity Fash-
ion and R.K. Spinning, both owned
by Mohammad Abdul Hamid, are now
satisfied Jenbacher customers. Parity
commissioned three Model JMS 320
GS-N.L. cogeneration modules in 2006,
two years after R.K. Spinning installed
four Model JGS 320 GS-N.L. gensets.
Both factories are in Narayangonj, 18
miles south of Bangladeshs capital
city of Dhaka. Together, the three co-
gen units at the Parity Fashion plant
deliver 3 MW of electricity, as well as
1.7 MW of heat energy (from their wa-
ter jackets) for use by an absorption
chiller. The engines exhaust gas heat
also is used to produce steam needed
for dyeing fabric. The four gensets at
R.K. Spinning provide only one kind of
energy: 4.2 MW of reliable electricity.
The Sinha Textile Group of Kanchpur, 15
miles southeast of Dhaka, ordered 12
JGS 320 GS-N.L. gensets between 2000
and the beginning of 2007 to provide
12.5 MW for several of the companys
mills in the region. Six of the engines,
which operate in island mode, have
already accumulated 40,000 operating
hours.
In mid-2005, AFBL, a division of the

some more effectively than others. Hun-
gary exemplifies the successes. In 2002,
realizing that it needed to modernize
its economy, the Hungarian government
passed several initiatives that encourage
greater energy efficiency.
One of the rules specifically promotes
greater use of combined heat and power
(CHP) plants for district heating of cit-
ies. Since the rules went into effect,
Hungarian municipalities have ordered
and installed roughly 220 MW worth of
Jenbacher reciprocating engine gensets
tailored for CHP service.
Dunaujvaros, 40 miles south of Buda-
pest, is one such city. This October, it
commissioned a plant whose 12 natural
gasfueled Model 620 GS-N.LC. gensets
together deliver 36.5 MW of electricity
and 36.8 MW of thermal power, making
it the largest district heating project in
Hungary to date.
The plant in Dunaujvaros, which operates
at an overall thermal efficiency of 86.4%,
was developed by its owner, the general
contractor Energott Kft. Last year, the firm
completed another cogen plant with eight
similar gensets (Figure 4); it now supports
the local grid and district heating system
of the industrial city of Szkesfehrvr, 40
miles southwest of Budapest. That plant
can generate 24.4 MW of electricity and
22.4 MW of thermal power.
Largest PV plant
taking shape
Although the 40-MW Solarpark Wald polenz
project near Leipzig, Germany, wont be
completed until the end of 2009, it is al-
ready supplying 8.4 MW of sunlight-gen-
erated electricity to the local grid. The
projects developer is The Juwi Group (www
.juwi.de), a wind and solar power specialist
based in Mainz, Germany, with U.S. offices
in Kansas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
The photovoltaic (PV) power station is
being built in the townships of Brandis
and Bennewitz in eastern Saxony on half
of a 540-acre site formerly occupied by a
military airbase. The installation (Figure
5) covers an area equivalent to 200 foot-
ball fields. With 11,000 posts in place, the
first 2,600 aluminum substructures assem-
bled, and 100,000 solar modules mounted
and wired, the first phase of the project
now is complete. When it is finished, the
plant will aggregate current from 550,000
thin-film PV modules.
Construction has moved at a rapid pace;
the first six megawatts were completed in
just four months. The estimated cost of
the finished project is $188 million, or
$4,700/kW. When completed, Solarpark
Waldpolenz will take a commanding lead
in the ever-changing list of the worlds
largest-capacity PV projects (see table).

If youre wondering how such an ex-
pensive plant is being financed, look no
further than Germanys Renewable En-
ergy Sources Act. Since August 2004, it
has required the countrys grid operators
to pay owners of hydroelectric and geo-
thermal plants, wind farms and PV plants,
and plants fueled by landfill gas, sewage
treatment gas, methane from mines, or
biomass a fixed fee for every kilowatt-
hour of their production over a period of
15, 20, or 30 years (depending on plant
type). For PV plants, the current rate is a
whopping 51 cents/kWh, which makes the
use of innovative technologiessuch as
Solar Waldpolenzs thin-film arrayscom-
mercially cost-effective (at least for plant
developers and owners).
Naturally, the cost of subsidizing
green electricity is passed on to end
users. According to Eurostat, the statisti-
cal arm of the European Commission, on
January 1, 2007, the average European
household consuming more than 3,500
kWh annually was paying 28.21 cents/
kWh for electricity, including taxes. By
contrast, the U.S. Department of Ener-
gys Energy Information Administration
reports that the average U.S. household
electricity price was 10.53 cents/kWh in
July 2007. Nationwide, the lowest prices
were 7.12 cents/kWh in Washington and
7.2 cents in Kentucky. The highest were
Hawaiis 22.8 cents, Connecticuts 18.84
cents, New Yorks 16.89 cents, and Cali-
fornias 14.4 cents.
When will PV be
competitive?
A report released in September by Green-
peace and the European Photovoltaic
Industry Association (EPIA) predicts
that grid-connected solar power will be
able to compete on cost with electricity
generated by conventional means (burn-
ing fossil fuels, nuclear fission, spinning
hydroturbines) by 2015 in parts of Eu-
rope and by 2020 in many regions of the
world.
Solar Generation 2007 concludes
that in Europe, the price of convention-
ally produced power is likely to continue
a 15-year upward trend. As a result, solar
power is likely to be cost-competitive in
southern Europe as early as the end of
this decade, and throughout Europe by
2020. Under the most conservative of the
three scenarios used to model the growth
of solar through 2030, PV would supply
5.35% of global demand in that year.
In the press release announcing the re-
port, Dr. Winfried Hoffmann, president of
the EPIA, said, Between now and 2010,
the solar photovoltaic industry will invest
14 billion euros [$19.1 billion] globally
[to expand] PV factories. Mass production
will enable us to reduce prices and we ex-
pect to be competitive, in some regions,
with end consumer prices by 2015. In the
future there is no doubt that PV will be-
come a first-choice technology for elec-
tricity consumers to provide price-stable
and reliable electricity for private house-
holds and other users.
Global installed solar capacity in 2006
exceeded 6,600 MW. Thats more than
four times the 1,200 MW in service in
2000. Installation of PV cells and mod-
ules around the world has been growing
at an annual rate of more than 35% since
1998.
According to the report, large-scale
grid-connected PV arrays larger than 1 MW
represent 10% of the European PV market.
They are also driving the current boom in
projects, most of them in Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) countries. In 1994, only 20% of
PV capacity was connected to the grid. By
2006, nearly 85% was. That kind of explo-

sive growth was exactly what many OECD
countries envisioned when they created
big government subsidies for renewable
energy development.
At the end of 2006, Germany led the
world in total installed PV capacity, with
2,530 MW. It was followed by Japan (1,708
MW), the U.S. (620 MW), and Spain (120
MW). Germany also was the world leader
in capacity installed in 2006, with 750
MW. Japan and the U.S. were a distant
second and third, with 290 MW and 141
MW installed, respectively.
Interestingly, the report acknowledges
that the two organizations predictions of
likely installed solar capacity worldwide in
past reports have consistently fallen way
short of what the industry has produced.
That may be the case again, particularly
if new PV module factories under con-
struction allow supply to catch up with
demand.
Siemens goes to the wall
with solar
In two projects that could be poster chil-
dren for dual-use environmental tech-
nology, Siemens Power Transmission and
Distribution (www.siemens.com/ptd) has
clad the faades of a waste recycling plant
and a biomass-fired power plant in dif-
ferent cities in Italy with solar modules
and linked each system to the local power
grid.
Both plants are owned by the same
company: Ecosesto, a subsidiary of the
Milan-based Actelios Group, whose core
business includes power generation from
renewable energy sources. On both proj-
ects, Siemens installed the arrays, grid-
connected the systems, and is responsible
for servicing and maintaining them.
The waste recycling plant is in Trezzo,
Lombardy. Its 100-foot-wide by 400-foot-
high faade now is covered with PV ar-
rays that have a combined peak output
of 70 kW. According to Siemens PTD, it is
the first photovoltaic system of this size
to have been integrated into an Italian
building.
The biomass-fired power plant is in
Rende in southern Italy. A 40-foot by 500-
foot steel structure on its faade supports
5,500 single-crystal solar modules (Fig-
ure 6) from Sharp Electronics Corp. (www
.sharpusa.com). Each module has a rated
maximum output of 180 watts, so the sys-
tem can generate 1.4 GWhenough to
supply 450 households.
Breakthrough in
metamaterials
A Princeton-led research team has demon-
strated an easier and more reliable way to
manufacture metamaterialsthose with
a negative index of refractionusing con-
ventional semiconductors and commercial
techniques and tools for stacking them in
layers.
Metamaterials are unique for their
ability to refract, or bend, light in the
opposite direction (Figure 7). They can
do that because their internal structural
dimensions are much smaller than the
wavelengths of light passing through
them. Because any wave passing through
a metamaterial goes through multiple
layers at once, it behaves as if manipu-
lated by a single material with properties
unlike those of any semiconductor layer
alone.
Simplifying the manufacture of meta-
materials may lead to advances in many
areas, including high-speed communica-
tions, medical diagnostics, superior lenses
and lasers, smaller laser-based sensors,
and detection of terrorist threats.
Previous metamaterials were two-di-
mensional arrangements of metals, which
limited their usefulness. The Princeton in-
vention is the first 3-D metamaterial con-
structed entirely from semiconductors.
All non-opaque materials have an index
of refraction, a measure of the degree and
direction in which light is bent as it pass-
es through them. Though materials found
in nature have positive indices of refrac-
tion, the metamaterials manufactured by
the Princeton researchers have a negative
index of refraction.
Negative refraction holds promise for
the development of superior lenses. The
positive indices of refraction of normal
materials necessitate the use of curved
lenses, which inherently distort some of
the light passing through them in devices
such as telescopes and microscopes. Flat
lenses made from materials that exhibit
negative refraction could compensate for
this aberration and enable far more pow-
erful microscopes capable of seeing things
as small as molecules of DNA.
Significantly, the Princeton metamate-
rials also can negatively refract light in
the mid-infrared region, which is used in
a wide range of sensing and communi-
cations applications. Their unique com-
position results in less lost light than
from previous metamaterials, which were
made of extremely small arrangements of
metal wires and rings. The semiconduc-
tors that constitute the layers of the new
materials are grown from crystals and
fabricated using proven manufacturing
techniques.
The Princeton researchers next plan to
incorporate the new metamaterials into
lasers. They will also continue to modify
them and strive to make their features
ever smaller, which would expand the
range of light wavelengths capable of be-
ing manipulated.

bines rated at 2.5 MW each for projects
in Europe, and Horizon Wind Energy LLC
(EDPs American subsidiary) with 201 tur-

east of Brookings in the eastern part of
the state.
The additional capacity is needed to

convert pet coke to hydrogen, nitrogen,
steam, and carbon dioxide for fertilizer
production and enhanced oil recovery. It
also would have an installed electricity
generation capacity of about 300 MW.
The plant would use GE Energys gas-

The web: Ideal for
skills development
To power the operations of large industrial
customers and keep appliances and equip-
ment humming in homes and businesses,
Minnesota Power (MP) employees must
collectively perform like a well-oiled ma-
chine24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Perhaps no one at the company knows
that better than MPs operations training
administrator, John Batchelder (Figure 1).
A 31-year MP veteran based at the coal-
fired Boswell Energy Center, Batchelder
cut his teeth on power plant operations
in the U.S. Navy. Since then, hes realized
that people naturally take a task-oriented
approach to doing their jobsometimes
at the expense of understanding how their
work affects coworkers. Which is why, he
emphasizes, training courses offered to MP
employees must include the big-picture
fundamentals, including how electricity is
generated. You cant put the roof on the
walls of your career home before you build
the foundation, Batchelder said.
In 2005, MP first offered workers the
opportunity to sign up for one of 100
company-paid seats for using General
Physics Corp.s GPiLearn portal. Since
then, interest in the GP module cover-
ing power generation fundamentals has
increased substantially. To meet demand,
MP doubled the supply of free training
seats to 200.
Thanks to efforts led by Batchelder
and MPs training site coordinatorsand
lots of customer feedbackGP train-
ing has been augmented by MP-specific
training developed in-house. Now em-
ployees can tap into 3,200 lesson and
testing modules.
MP wrote the job description for Batch-
elders position in 1999. As soon as he
got the job, Batchelder began working
to improve training opportunities for
all Boswell employees. For the next few
years, his responsibilities were limited to
the plant housing his office. But in 2004,
Batchelders domain was expanded, to
meet VP of Generation Al Hodniks goal
of enhancing training for employees at all
MP plants by December 2005.
Working with his supervisorMadelen
Schuemann, thermal business operations
manager for Boswell Units 1 and 2Batch-
elder hunkered down to analyze the offer-
ings of web-based training providers. After
reviewing the curricula of the vendors he
found most impressivein terms of the
price, quality, and applicability of training
modules to MPs future needsBatchelder
recommended going with GP. He was al-
ready familiar with the company, having
taken some of its training courses in 1998
to prepare for an upgrade of the Boswell
plant to a distributed control system.
The three core modules of GPs Power
Plant Operators training curriculum are:
Power Fundamentals (Figure 2), which
gives all kinds of plant workers the the-
oretical and practical foundation they
need. Among its topics are boilers, tur-
bines, combustion basics, ash removal,
electrical systems, water treatment,
emissions control, and safety.

help generation companies qualify their
craft personnel and develop a multi-

calibrating an instrument, they know why
doing so is so important to overall plant
performance.
Another step that Batchelder took to
augment the core modules was to cre-
ate an I&C training development group,
comprising senior I&C personnel from
various MP plants. They traveled to each
MP plant, spent time discussing its spe-
cific I&C training needs with managers,
and then created lesson plans germane to
each location.
Last years offering of free training
sparked plenty of employee interest in
continuing education. But so did MPs
creation of a new position: apprentice op-
erator. According to Batchelder, those of
us leading the training initiatives noted
how many entry-level employees became
interested in fuels after that department
introduced a fuels technician apprentice-
ship program. Fuels created the template
for our effort to customize employee
training levels.
Batchelder explained that once some-
one successfully completes an apprentice-
ship, he or she is immediately certified
by Minnesotas Department of Labor and
Industry as an expert at their craft. The
certification is recognized by many other
states (Figure 3).
Thats the case because everyone who
takes a web-based training course must
pass a test to prove theyve retained what
theyve learned. Batchelder said, The in-
dustry-standard passing grade is 70% re-
tention, and thats MPs cutoff, too. If an
employee doesnt pass the test, he or she
can take it again. Employees can monitor
their progress through the various train-
ing levels at any time, as can their super-
visors. MP encourages its employees to
avail themselves of free training to reach
their short-term goal, whether that goal
is to do their current job better or to be
promoted, Batchelder explained.
Do supervisors like the new web-based
approach? Absolutely, for several rea-
sons. One is the outpouring of employee
interest in continuing education it has
produced. For example, Boswell alone cur-
rently has 81 people enrolled in training
courses. Companywide, 164 employees
have registered for some sort of training,
and 99% of them are operators or special-
ists in fuels or I&C.
Another reason the training programs
have worked so well is that they are open
to everyone. Interested employees dont
even have to work at an MP power plant;
all they need is a desire to learn how elec-
tricity is generated. Several members of
the companys General Office Building de-
partment are in that category.
A third measure of the initiatives
success: Several supervisors have asked
Batchelder whether additional training
modules could be developed to help their
employees get the licenses required for
certain MP positions. The options for
reconfiguring training curricula to meet
the needs and interests of craft and other
workers are almost endless, Batchelder
said. He adds that their supervisors of
new MP engineers specializing in various
disciplines are very interested in making
sure that they receive training in the fun-
damentals of power production.
Finally, the web-based training pro-
gram has led to an expanded menu of ap-
prenticeship opportunities, like those for
operators and fuels specialists mentioned
earlier. Another new apprenticeship that
Batchelder helped create is in hydro plant
operations, at the behest of hydro opera-
tions supervisor Tom Hughes. To get this
program up and running, Batchelder and
Hughes met with representatives of GP,
visited all 11 of MPs hydroelectric fa-
cilities, and then supervised the develop-
ment of a web-based training curriculum
specific to hydro plants.
According to Batchelder, MP is now
looking to expand the web-based training
initiative while ensuring that employees
take courses at the appropriate level. As
an example, the company has established
a credentials committee whose members
would include Batchelder, plant produc-
tion coordinators, unit supervisors and
managers, and representatives of Local 31
of the International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers.
The committee is responsible for slot-

ting employees in courses at the correct
level, taking into account their experi-
ence and expertise. Workers would have
a say in their assignment. As Batchelder
explains, for example, someone whos
been here for 20 years could argue before
the committee that they shouldnt have
to take an entry-level course. And if a
younger worker brings plenty of computer
savvy to the table, he or she would like-
wise get credit for that. We have a huge

Through GPs co-funding option, MP
and two other power companiesAmeren

modules. Its good for all parties involved,
Batchelder said. GP can offer more train-
ing to all their clients, and the co-funding
utilities can get the training they want to
develop for their own employees at a lower
cost.
Taking stock of whats happened over

FAST-TRACKING PROJECTS
Upgrading a New Orleans
pumping station
The start-up of a 2,300,000-gpm pump-
ing station on the London Avenue Canal
in New Orleans this August was cheered
by all Crescent City residents. But few
will ever appreciate how quickly the
project was completednine months
from awarding a contract for the pumps
to their commissioning.
A key part of the citys flood-control
system, the London Avenue Canal col-
lects drainage and pumps it into Lake
Pontchartrain. In August 2005, neighbor-
hoods along the canal suffered some of
the worst damage from Hurricane Katrina
and the subsequent floods caused by le-
vee failures.
On December 22, 2006, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) changed its
flood and storm water control strategy
by calling for the installation of high-
capacity direct-drive pumps at London
Avenue Canal, where Hurricane Katrina
caused two major breaches. The problem
was that the USACE said the new pumps
were needed within nine monthsby
mid-August 2007, the beginning of hur-
ricane season. At the time, several pump
vendors were quoting delivery times of
18 to 24 months; they considered the
timeframe impossible.
Within days of the USACE appraisal,
Michael Pittman of M.R. Pittman Group
LLCa local general contractor special-
izing in infrastructure projectswas on
the phone with Al Huber, president of
Patterson Pump Co. (www.pattersonpumps
.com), a subsidiary of Gorman-Rupp Co.
Pittman impressed upon Huber the huge
boost his pumps could give to the ongo-
ing New Orleans recovery effort. Pittman
also emphasized that the direct-drive
pumps were the critical missing pieces of
the proposed project; its foundation and
surrounding infrastructure were already in
place, thanks to the heroic efforts of the
federal team responsible for recovery of
the Greater New Orleans area.
Answering the call, Huber committed
to manufacture, deliver, and test eight
68-inch x 72-inch semi-axial vertical flow
(SAFV) Patterson pumps within 150 days.
A contract was awarded on December 22,
2006. While Patterson was building and
specially fitting the pumps, the recov-
ery team was installing new surge gates,
discharge pipes, and other foundational
units of the pumping station to prepare
for the pump deliveries.
Huber made good on his commitment
by delivering the pumps to New Orleans
on schedule. Lengthy dry tests conducted
during the second week of August 2007
verified the pumps ability to run in water.
After equally successful wet tests, per-
formed the following week, all eight pumps
were officially accepted by the USACE. The
pumps were then delivered to the London
Avenue Canal, where they were installed
(Figure 4) and passed final tests.
Col. Jeffrey Bedey, commander of the
USACEs Hurricane Protection Office, re-
cently reflected on Patterson Pump Co.s
contribution to the recovery effort: On
August 15, we completed testing of all
eight pumps here at London Avenue Ca-
nal. It was an unbelievable effort by a
team that made history. Im proud to be
part of the team, just as Patterson Pump
should be proud of itself. They were there
all along the way.
Bedey summed up the project succinct-
ly: Between December 22 and August 15
we had the award of a contract, the deliv-
ery of eight pumps, and their installation
and acceptance and final testing. I chal-
lenge the engineering community to find
a better example of making things happen
quickly.
What we are doing here in New Orleans
is about more than just building pumps.
Its about restoring the faith and confi-
dence in the people. Not in the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, but that inner faith
and confidence such that people want to
come back to this great community.
As of September 2007, the population
of metropolitan New Orleans was 70% of
4. Eight is enough, for now. One of the eight 68-inch x 72-inch SAFV mixed-flow

PLANT MANAGEMENT
Turn plant failures into
successes
When a mishap occurs at your power plant,
do you care to fully understand why? Some
people dont. Others care, but only to the
extent required by regulations or corpo-
rate policy. Still others care passionately,
and see immense value in understanding
the root causes of failure.
Root-cause analysis is not just for
catastrophic accidents; its for day-to-day
problem-solving, too. A troublesome in-
duced-draft boiler fan, for example, may
require routine replacement of bearings.
Your mechanic might be content to go on
changing bearings every month, but if you
conduct a root-cause analysis and find the
bearing failures are due to an out-of-bal-
ance rotor, then you can fix the problem
and stop wasting the mechanics time and
your precious O&M money. This is what
root-cause analysis is all about: getting
to the heart of a problem. Its not just a
one-time exercise, but a way of thinking.
A lot of people dont like to talk about
plant failures. In fact, many peopleusu-
ally those at the highest levels of man-
agementtry to cover them up. But by
not talking about failures, by changing
the focus, people miss the point. Fail-
ure is perhaps the single most valuable
experience in anyones lifetime. In fact,
root-cause specialists like to say that the
secret to success is failure.
If you believe in root-cause analysis
and in learning from mistakes, you prob-
ably already have an incident reporting
program at your plant. Youve also prob-
ably already learned that it can be tough
to make the program accurate, impartial,
and effective. A big impediment to ac-
curacy is cost, particularly when trying
to determine the cause of catastrophic
equipment failures.
Three levels of investigation can be
undertaken: (1) determining the mode
of failure, (2) recognizing contributing
causes, and (3) finding the true root cause.
If the first level costs X, then the second
level probably costs 3 to 5X. Reaching the
third level, experts estimate, can cost 10
to 50X. Contributing to cost run-up are
such potential land mines as undocument-
ed repair work, inadequate knowledge of
metallurgythe processes of original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and re-
work facilities are often proprietaryand
secondary damage that masks the trigger-
ing event.
Other impediments to impartiality are
commercial, social, and political goals.
For example, investigators may skew the
findings toward equipment design in order
to recoup money from OEMs and insurance
providers. Or they may point the finger at
faulty instrumentation to avoid harming a
power companys reputation.
Even if incident reports rise above the
bias and deliver accurate, impartial find-
ings, they still may not be effective if the
results are incorrectly applied. Results are
often applied in either of two ways. At
one end of the spectrum, written reports
are simply circulated via intra-office mail
and employees are directed to read and
initial them. This approach, according to
training specialists, fails to demonstrate
management commitment and tells em-
ployees that the incident report holds
little importance.
At the other extreme, conducting exces-
sive instruction and ramming the results
into employees heads could be equally
ineffective. The nuclear-powered Navy, for
example, laid its cornerstone on accurate,

FOCUS ON O&M
hard-hitting incident reports. But many
veterans believe the programs value was
diminished by marathon training sessions
and overzealous disciplinary action.
Training specialists say that the most
effective way to apply incident reports
lies somewhere between the two ex-
tremes, and that corporate culture plays
a key role. The culture, they say, must en-
courage the following four types of staff
behavior that lead to effective incident-
reporting programs.
First step: Freeze!
Criminal investigators say that it is liter-
ally impossible for someone to walk into
a room without leaving behind some evi-
dence of their presence. Similarly, when
a power plant mishap occurs, there is al-
ways some evidence. But the trail fades
as time passes, so the evidence must be
capturedor frozenas soon after the
incident as possible.
Consider this true story: An engineer-
ing team was called in to investigate an
unexplained steam-turbine trip and its
subsequent catastrophic failure, which
sent flames leaping through the plant and
metal flying into the control room. Two
months into the investigation, the team
was at a loss to explain the event.
Then, one day, a junior member of
the team noticed that the turbines local
emergency-stop button was pushed in,
and jammed so it could not be released.
The team then realized that the lone on-
duty operator, who claimed he had not
manually tripped the unit, was hiding the
truth. He was petrified of being blamed
for the destruction.
As it turned out, pushing the emer-
gency-stop button was the right action,
and the catastrophic failure was not the
operators fault. After feeling a sudden
eruption of horrendous vibrations, he had
pushed the button, as he should have.
Doing so was supposed to slam shut all
steam-supply valves to the turbine and
electrically disconnect the generator.
But every one of the valves was rusted
in its sleeve, and hung open. The gen-
erator disconnect, however, worked flaw-
lessly, so the turbine failed from severe
overspeed. That jammed emergency-stop
button shows the importance of freezing
evidence. When an incident occurs, note
the positions of everythingevery push-
button, valve, indicator, person, piece of
equipment, mark, or blemish.
Next, introduce ignorance
When searching for the cause of a fail-
ure, we often overlook the obvious. This
is especially true for formally educated
technologistswe relish the thought of
digging into nitty-gritty details and ex-
ploring all kinds of complex possibilities.
But what we should be doing is purposely
introducing ignoranceasking the simple
questions first. One failure specialist tells
this story:
I accompanied a fellow worker to
one of our sulfuric acid plants to help
rebuild one of its waste-heat boilers.
Barney was much more experienced
than I was, and had been coming to
the site annually for a long time
these waste-heat boilers had been re-
built once a year for the last 20 years
because of sulfuric acid corrosion. I
respected Barney greatly, as did all
site personnel.
The next morning, we met with an
equally respected team of corporate
metallurgists who had also been com-
ing to the site annually, as well as the
plants reliability engineering staff. I
learned that once per year, these ex-
perts would get together to try to get
more life out of the boiler tubes. They
had tried just about every metal they
could think of.
I looked around the room and noted
that while individual members of the
group had changed from time to time,
the collective team of experts had in-
herited all the folklore and tradition
from their predecessors. Their bias-
es were obvious to me, so I started
asking some simple, straightforward
questions. They answered my ques-
tions politely, but they were clearly
annoyed.
That night, I came right out with
it and asked Barney, What causes the
boiler tubes to corrode? He flashed
me a disgusted look and said, This is
a sulfuric acid plant. Acid is made in
the boilers. Boiler tubes and sulfuric
acid dont mix well. So dont ask such
a stupid question.
The next morning, we met with the
plant manager. Still troubled, I blurted
out, I just dont understand why any-
one would design a boiler with tubes
that will corrode in one year! Barney
could have shot me. But the plant
manager was wide-eyed. You know,
he said, Ive been wondering the
same thing, but I didnt want to sound
stupid. Our other sulfuric acid plant
isnt having these problems. Sure, we
begin the acid-making process in the
boilers, but theres not supposed to be
acid until after those tubes.
Encouraged by this exchange, I
called my boss at the home office
and suggested that we conduct a full-
blown root-cause analysis. He liked
the idea so much he flew to the plant
site to personally propose the project.
When he was explaining the proposal,
my boss said that only the truly ig-
norant can ask the questions that lead
to discovery because they dont know
enough to be ashamed of themselves.
Then, he looked at me and said, Weve
got one of the most ignorant people
imaginable right here!
The proposal was accepted, and the
study pinpointed as the cause of failure
a dew point problem, not a metallurgi-
cal one. When we verified our hypoth-
eses, we moved the affected tubes one
foot behind their original location. It
worked! In fact, we eventually changed
the tube materials back to their origi-
nal, less-expensive specification.
The team of experts had looked at this
problem for 20 years! They were brilliant
in their field, but they made two of the
most common mistakes in problem-solv-
ing. First, they tried to solve the problem
before they looked at the evidence (some
have described this as a medical problem
called premature evaluation). Second,
they failed to introduce ignorance. To help
break what often can be a thin shell of
understanding, you must intentionally pit
ignorance against expertise.
Third, grow a why tree
The root causes of all industrial incidents
lie in the little things that present them-
selves on a day-to-day, moment-by-mo-
ment basis. To uncover them, we must
sincerely ask, Why?
Experts recommend using a unique de-
vice called the why tree. Its similar to
the fault tree used in design industries,
but its much easier to use. What you must
remember, however, is that the why tree is
not probabilistic in nature, and therefore
does not predict potential failure rates.
Instead, it uses evidence, along with ig-
norance and expertise, to dig logically
into an actual problem.
When incidents happen in our physi-
cal world, we can always find a physical
problem. But all physical problems are
caused by people who do something inap-
propriate. In other words, people are trig-
gering mechanisms. Unfortunately, the
usual reaction is to find the person who
triggered the problem and blame him or
her. Our eagerness to point the finger
and discipline the scoundrel implies that
POWER

December 2007 26
FOCUS ON O&M
the cause lies with peoplenot whats in
their minds, not the way they make deci-
sions, but the physical person.
Granted, sometimes discipline makes
sense. But only when we define specifi-
cally what we want it to accomplish. Our
intentions should be precise, fair, and
appropriate. More important, we must
continue down the why tree and under-
stand why people did what they did. The
following is a good test of when to stop
asking why: Do I understand the causes
well enough that Im convinced I would
do the same thing under the same circum-
stances? When you can answer yes to
that question, youre at the point where
you can identify the root causes and make
lasting, constructive improvements.
Make the findings visible
When a root-cause investigation is finally
complete, the team lets out a collective
sigh of relief. Finally, we have cracked
the shell. We know what caused the fail-
ure. Victory is ours.
BILGEWATER, as Marmaduke Surface-
blow might say.
Who cares if the investigating team
understands the causes of failure, if no-
body else understands? Who cares if the
principal investigator has been enlight-
ened, but not the plant manager? What is
the point of root-cause analysis if every
single individual in the company does not
learn the lessons? Read the sage advice of
a failure specialist:
Several years ago, I was investigat-
ing a large electrical system failure at
an industrial facility. The entire com-
plex had lost power for many hours.
When I arrived on the scene, I felt al-
most overwhelmed by the complexity of
the electrical system and its cascading
series of failuresI was an electrical
novice. Our team eventually completed
its work and produced a final report. I
knew what was in it because I was part
of the team. But I didnt write it. In
fact, I couldnt have written it because
it was too complicated. The report was
five inches thickpage after page of
detailed, technical writing.
Because I was contractually bound
to contribute my own narrative, I de-
cided to write a different reportone
that people could read. I limited it to
a few pages, and, because most peo-
ple prefer looking at visual images, I
included numerous drawings. I even
hired an artist, which meant I had
to translate the causes of a complex,
technical catastrophe to a person
trained only in fine arts.
At times, I found myself talking to
the artist as I would to a 10-year-old.
But in the process, I found areas that
even I didnt fully understand. I real-
ized that I was falling into the same
trap as other so-called expertswhen
you stripped away the technical jar-
gon, there was little substance to what
I was saying. It was then that I real-
ized the importance of translating a
studys findings. When my final report
was ready, the artist fully understood
the causes of the multimillion-dollar,
technological failure. So did others
with no technical trainingincluding
my secretary and my wife.
This specialists final report was only 30
pages15 of text and 15 of supporting
graphics. Most of the graphics were car-
toons that exaggerated the phenomenon
being explained. The ability to exagger-
ate added immensely to the reports clar-
ityit was a way of raising the volume
to get the readers attention.

LEGAL & REGULATORY

Rigid COD deadlines do
more harm than good
By Steven F. Greenwald and Jeffrey P. Gray
A
utility executive responsible for procuring renewable power
recently lamented that, at the time of contract execution,
renewable projects are typically at a very preliminary
stage of development, offering scant information about project
specifics. Regulatory or other objectives often cause the utility
to require that the power purchase agreement be executed before
critical permits have been obtained, transmission arrangements
have been finalized, or the quality of the projects fuel source
has been determined. The utility spokesperson contrasted this
amorphous state of renewable projects as of contract execution
with natural gas projects, which have far fewer unknowns.
Despite their recognition of the schedule challenges confront-
ing renewable projects, utilities usually insist that project spon-
sors commit to an absolute, firm guaranteed commercial operation
date (COD) and that substantial daily delay and other damages
be imposed for any delay. Issues relating to the CODincluding
security, penalties, and reasons for not imposing delay penalties
typically emerge as the most contentious issue in negotiations.
Benefits of punitive COD deadlines are Illusory
Utilities have legitimate reliability and economic interests to
justify their demand that the COD be specified and that the
supplier contractually commit to achieve that date. However,
these needs do not justify imposing a do or die COD deadline
accompanied by draconian penalties. Utilities rationalize these
measures on the basis that they are relying on the projects
capacity to meet their load as of the guaranteed COD and are
providing the project sponsor the necessary incentives to
commence operating as soon as practicable.
Neither ground justifies the resistance to offering renewable
projects some degree of scheduling flexibility. On the contrary,
the insistence on guaranteed CODs increases project coststo
the detriment of the utility, electric consumers, and the project
sponsorwhile failing to increase the likelihood that the target
COD will be achieved.
Ironically, an inflexible COD may be more likely to delay a
projects on-line date. The scheduling uncertainties endemic to
developing a renewable project, coupled with harsh late penal-
ties, offer the project sponsor a perverse incentive to commit to
a later COD than is potentially achievable, because any risk of
being late must be avoided. This risk of daily delay damages,
coupled with the security the utility requires to cover that con-
tingency, necessarily increases project costs.
Reliability is not threatened
The argument that the utility needs a hard and fast COD deadline
to satisfy its capacity needs is overstated and misconstrues the
overriding objective of renewable power. The specter that a util-
ity with supply resources in the 10,000s of megawatts would be
unable to serve its load or would be economically damaged by a
few weeks delay in a 30- or 40-MW biomass projector even a
100-MW intermittent wind projectis just that: a specter. Just
in time inventory programs promote efficiency for grocery chains,
but they are a nonproductive distraction in promoting renewable
generation. The capacity renewable projects offer is beneficial,
but the overriding attractions of such projects are the displace-
ment of fossil fuel generation and reduction in carbon emissions.
Project sponsors have strong incentives to achieve COD
The claim that utilities must resort to economic sanctions to
incentivize projects to achieve contracted-for COD evidences a
lack of understanding of the economics motivating independent
power producers. Renewable projects have compelling economic
incentives, independent of utility threats, to achieve COD as
quickly as possible. In stark contrast to regulated utilities, which
earn AFUDC (allowance for funds used during construction)
income during a projects precommercial period, for the in-
dependent producer, each day preceding COD accrues additional
and nonrecoverable expenditures. The price at which the renew-
able producer commits to deliver power to the purchasing utility
reflects an assumed COD and associated commencement of any
return on investment; if COD is missed, project economics neces-
sarily sufferthere is no backstopping by ratepayers.
The simple reality is that in many instances the schedule on
which a renewable project can achieve COD is outside of the
projects control. Additional economic incentives do not enhance
the sponsors ability to prevent delays caused by administrative
and judicial challenges to necessary permits or by the purchasing
utility being unable to obtain requisite regulatory approvals. In
fact, when presented with the facts, in most instances, utilities
and regulators excuse the delay in a projects COD.
Proposed solution
The goal of utility procurement should be to enable the project
sponsor to achieve the earliest COD at the least cost. Contract
provisions imposing punitive measures for a late COD are more
likely to result in later CODs and escalating prices. Utilities and
regulators who are committed to advancing renewable power
must recognize that firm schedules that may be appropriate for
utility-owned or fossil fuel projects should not be assumed to
work for renewable projects. One size does not fit all. Sincere
proponents of renewable power should be receptive to flexible
COD deadlines based on the project sponsor contractually com-
mitting to commercially reasonable measures to achieve a tar-
geted date and to objective and nonpunitive standards by which
the date can be advanced or deferred.

Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm,
Liverpool Bay, UK
Owner: DONG Energy A/S
Operator: SeaScape Energy Ltd.
POWER congratulates DONG Energy and Siemens Power Generation on the
October 18 inauguration of their 90-MW Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm.
This project was the first commercial application of Siemens new 3.6-
MW wind turbine and exemplifies how the right developer and supplier
team can quickly add much-needed offshore wind power to a countrys
generation mix.
By Dr. Robert Peltier, PE
D
enmark has 380 MW of offshore wind
capacitythe most in the world. So
it should come as no surprise that a
Danish company, DONG Energy, is deeply
involved in offshore wind project devel-
opment both at home and in the UK. The
companys projects include construction of
the 166-MW Nysted Offshore Wind Farm,
located in the Baltic Sea offshore of Den-
mark, where 72 turbines generate 166 MW
in what is the largest offshore wind farm in
the world. DONG has several other proj-
ects under development, but its latest entry
into the market is the Burbo Bank Offshore
Wind Farm, which first produced power on
July 21 and was commissioned on October
18 (Figure 1).
The success of this and other offshore

wind projects is nothing to take for granted, as the U.S. experience
demonstrates.
Wasted vs. achieved potential
The U.S. may have assumed the lead position on the worlds list of
installed wind capacity, but we have zilch in the burgeoning offshore
market. The University of Delaware recently completed a study that
concluded U.S. offshore wind resources from Cape Cod, Mass., to
Cape Hatteras, N.Y., could be as high as 330 GWenough to satisfy
all the electricity needs of the nine Mid-Atlantic states with plenty
to spare.
Several U.S. projects along the East and Gulf coasts have some
momentum, but recent history has shown that much more than loca-
tion is required to site an offshore wind park. Witness the political
and regulatory hurdles still facing Cape Wind, a proposed project off
Nantucket Sound in Massachusetts. Parochial interests led by Sena-
tor Ted Kennedy (D) have delayed that 420-MW project at every
turn. Down the coast, Long Island Power Authoritys Offshore Wind
Park, sited along Long Islands south shore, was cancelled in August
because initial cost estimates for the 140-MW project had doubled
since the project was announced in early 2005.
The UK also has huge offshore wind potential: Estimates run as
high as three times the islands current power demand. The difference
is that the UK has summoned the political will and public support
to vigorously pursue its renewable obligations goal of 15% genera-
tion from renewables by 2015. The European Union (EU) took that
number a step further in its March vote to increase its legally bind-
ing target to 20% by 2020. Thats not out of line with the renewable
portfolio standards adopted by many American states. The EU coun-
tries, and especially the UK, are single-minded in their pursuit of
windpower to meet their commitments, and that resolve has attracted
developers and billions of dollars in investment.

The UK started small by approving sever-
al successful offshore projects limited to 30
turbines. Developers then pushed for lifting
the limit on turbines and eagerly anticipated
deploying the new, larger wind turbines on
future projects. Offshore leases are granted
by the Crown Office, which owns the off-
shore up to a 12-mile limit. Once a lease is
won in a competitive bid, the developer then
must obtain a series of other permits from
the same government that is committed to
offshore wind power. Disputes tend to be
with the local citizenry, over where power
cables come ashore and interconnect with a
substation.
The second round of Crown Office off-
shore licenses came with no size limit.
London Array, billed as the worlds largest
offshore wind farm, just received a green
light from the British Government. This
90-square-mile wind farm located off the
southeast coast of England is being devel-
oped by a consortium of Shell WindEnergy,
E.On, and DONG Energy. Their plan is
to install about 340 turbines cranking out
1,000 MWabout a quarter of Londons
electricity demand. The project is sched-
uled for completion by 2011just in time
for the London Olympics.
Banking on new turbines
The Burbo Bank installation is the first off-
shore project using the 3.6-MW Siemens Pow-
er Generation (SPG, www.powergeneration
.siemens.com) SWT-3.6-107 turbines. SPG
supplied and installed the 25 turbines on a 4-
square-mile lease in the Burbo Flats in Liver-
pool Bay at the entrance to the River Mersey,
approximately 4 miles from the Sefton coast-
line. The Burbo Banks, once feared by sea-
men for strong winds and shallow depths,
is an excellent location for a wind farm for
those very same reasons (see box). The 90-
MW wind farm is operated by SeaScape En-
ergy Ltd., a company owned by DONG.
Each wind turbine assembly consists of
the turbine, blades, and nacelle; a support
tower; and a foundation. Each turbine is con-
figured with a 350-foot-diameter three-blad-
ed rotor with blades 172 feet long (Figure 2).
The rotor assembly is connected directly to
the gearbox and generator contained in the
nacelle and mounted on top of a 210-ft tower
(Figure 3). Each tower supporting a turbine
is anchored to the seabed by a foundation
consisting of a single monopile structure
over 16 ft in diameter and over 170 ft tall.
The foundation is driven up to 80 ft into the
seabed such that it extends 56 ft above mean
sea level. The turbines are spaced between
1,750 and 2,400 ft apart.
SPG leased an 11-acre parcel in the port of
Mostyn, located in North Wales, where pre-
assembly of the turbines began in early May.
The turbine parts were carried on the BBC
Mississippi from Denmark, north around
Scotland, and to Mostyn. The cargo ship was
able to pack parts for six and a half complete
turbine assemblies per trip; heavy parts were
stored under deck and the lighter parts were
in racks on the deck.
At Mostyn, the 210-ft steel support tow-
ers were preassembled with all the internal
and electrical systems and then tested. Pur-
pose-built vessels were used to ferry the

towers, nacelles, hubs, and blades to the
site, about 4 miles offshore. Each of the tur-
bines required five heavy lifts spaced over
half a day. Some lifts were up to 185 tons.
Erection of all 25 turbines was completed in
only 43 days (Figure 4).
Power cables, buried under the seabed, in-
terconnect the turbines and the three cables
that bring the power ashore and then under-
ground 3 miles to a substation in Wallasey.
The substation steps up the generation volt-
age (33 kV) to a transmission voltage (132
kV) and feeds it into the national electricity
grid. The 24 miles of XLPE (cross-linked
polyethylene) armored submarine cable were
configured with three conductors with an in-
tegrated fiber-optic cable for remote moni-
toring and control functions. The cable was
supplied by ABB of Karlskrona, Sweden.
An operations and maintenance facil-
ity was established in Liverpool Harbor to
monitor the wind farms performance and
to provide technicians with access to the
turbines by boat for routine inspection and
maintenance. These turbines are designed
to operate approximately 6,000 hours a year
over a 20-year design life.
More offshore in store
Offshore wind energy is a key future market
for Siemens, said Andreas Nauen, head of
the Wind Power Division of SPG.
In 1991, SPG installed the first offshore
wind farm in the world in Denmark. The
company also teamed with DONG for the
North Seas Nysted project in 2003. Next
year Siemens will start erection work on
the largest offshore wind farm in the world,
off the east coast of Great Britain. That
180-MW Lynn and Inner Dowsing project
will use 54 SWT-3.6-107 wind turbines
and will be owned and operated by British
Gass parent company, Centrica. SPG will
be responsible for O&M of the project for
its first five years of operation. The overall
project cost exceeds $600 million at todays
exchange rates. That project will wrest the
title of worlds largest offshore wind project
from Nysted.

Wind power predictions
The power produced by a wind turbine is
a function of the wind speed as defined
by the turbine power curve (Figure 5).
The SPG SWT-3.6-107 wind turbine used
at the Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm
begins to produce power when the wind
speed is close to 9 mph and reaches its
3.6-MW design power at 26 to 31 mph.
If wind speed exceeds the maximum
power generation limit, the turbine
controls will slowly rotate or pitch the
blades to prevent excessive blade loads.
Wind speeds exceeding 56 mph will shut
down the turbine for safety reasons.
The average wind speed at Burbo
Bank is about 30 mph, and average an-
nual generation is expected to be close
to 315 million kWh.
5. Smooth operator. The Sie-
mens Power Generation 3.6-MW
SWT-3.6-107 wind turbine power curve
illustrates that full turbine output is
reached when wind speed reaches 30
mph. The blade pitch is reduced with
increasing wind velocity above 30 mph,
and the turbine trips when wind speeds
reach approximately 56 mph. Source:

Central Vermont Public Service,
Cow Power Program
Central Vermont Public Service developed the nations first farm-to-consumer
renewable energy choice by using cow manure to generate electricity.
CVPS gave beleaguered farms new economic hope; developed a gen-
eration system that provides clean, renewable energy; and helped solve
numerous manure management environmental challenges. CVPS and
Cow Powers four member dairies are recognized as a 2007 Top Plant for
generating renewable energy one cow at a time.
By Dr. Robert Peltier, PE

enewable energy projects often reflect
the character of the local economy and
locally available natural resources.
Solar energy power generation systems are
a natural for the Southwest but are less ap-
plicable in the more-cloudy and congested
Northeast. The southeastern U.S. lacks the
wind velocity profiles to justify installation
of wind turbines, the flowing rivers required
by hydroelectric projects, and the geysers
essential to geothermal power. Mother Na-
ture didnt consider state boundaries when
distributing her natural resources. Neverthe-
less, many regions are getting creative about
developing renewable energy generation
projects that support the local economy and
make the most of available resources.
Take Vermont, for example. Think of
Vermonts bucolic landscape and you may
visualize dairy farms. But what you may
not envisionbecause only 2% of the U.S.

population is now involved in farming of any typeare the economic
challenges that dairy farmers face, including issues of manure dis-
posal, rapidly increasing costs of bedding material, and the rising
cost of electricity to operate the business. Dairy farming is capital
cost intensive, and limited land availability makes expanding many
of Vermonts family farms impossible or cost prohibitive. Diversifi-
cation of the product line and more efficient internal operations are
the keys to continued dairy farm profitability.
And thats where a new program at Central Vermont Public Ser-
vice (CVPS) fits into the picture. CVPS Cow Power, as the program
is called, promotes development of and reliance on renewable energy
in Vermont by creating a market for energy generated from a renew-
able biogas fuel derived from cow manure.
Reliably renewable
Central Vermont Public Service is a small utility serving about
158,000 customers in Vermont principally through long-term con-
tracts with Vermont Yankee and Hydro Quebec (54% nuclear and
38% hydro). Another 6.5% of its customers power needs are served
by 20 small hydro stations owned by CVPS. Most of the remainder is
delivered by independent power producer contracts, most involving
renewable sources. A new addition to the CVPS renewable portfolio
is power generated by biogas thats derived from digested cow ma-
nure at several large dairy farms (Figure 1).
The gaseous engine fuel comes from manure and other farm waste
held in a sealed concrete tank at the same temperature as a cows
stomach (approximately 101F) for about 21 days. Bacteria digest the
volatile components, creating methane while killing pathogens and
weed seeds. The methane is then piped to a modified, naturally aspi-
rated engine-generator (Figure 2).
Several dozen farms across the United States are now generating
electricity in this way, but CVPS Cow Power was the first program
designed to support this effort by linking local customers and produc-
ers in an entirely new farm-to-market model and by providing cash
grants to defray the costs of interconnection to the rural grid.
By enrolling in CVPS Cow Power, retail customers help support
Vermont dairy farms develop biogas-fueled generators, renewable
generation in the region, and incentives to farmers for getting into the
business. These farms are significant customers for CVPS, so helping
them improve their financial strength is good for the local economy
as well as the utility.
The program has garnered strong public support: More than 4,570,
or 2.8%, of the companys customers participate. CVPS expects to have
5% of its customers enrolled by year-end 2010. Our goal has been to
make CVPS Cow Power one of the top 10 programs in the country by
year-end 2010, and we are well on our way toward meeting that goal,
CVPS President Bob Young said. Customers continue to enroll by the
dozens each week, voting with their energy choice for Vermont farm-
ing, an improved environment, and renewable energy production.
Green Mountain College, known for its emphasis on the environ-
ment and energy sustainability, has committed to purchase 50% of its
main campuss electricity as Cow Power and 100% on all its other
accounts, which include the presidents house, the college farm, the
college inn and alumni house, and an off-campus residence hall in
Killington, Vt. The colleges total Cow Power purchases will eventu-
ally rise to approximately 1.2 million kilowatt-hours annually.
This is a great step for us toward a sustainably powered cam-
pus, said Provost Bill Throop. We are very happy to be supporting
not just renewable energy but also the regional economy and the
family farms that are so important to the Vermont way of life. It
is a good fit with our mission, and departments across campus are
supporting the project from their own budgets because they feel its
a priority.

Enrollment options
Customers may choose to enroll 25%, 50%, or all of their electricity
purchases in the Cow Power program, which adds a 4-cent premium
per kWh. Customers using 500 kWh per month who buy 25% of their
electricity under the rider pay only an additional $5 a month. At 50%
Cow Power, those customers would pay an additional $10. Farmers
receive 95% of the hourly market price for the energy they generate,
plus the 4-cent premium paid by tariff customers for the value-added
attributes of Cow Power.
Customers enroll for a variety of reasons. Some want to reduce
their reliance on nonrenewable energy, so providing them with a re-
newable energy choice is important. Others want to support Vermont
agriculture or reduce environmental impacts.
Diversified benefits
Regardless of the reasons customers enroll, Cow Power provides sev-
eral benefits to participating farmer-generators. Chief among them is
a new, steady income stream that offsets fluctuations in milk prices.
Farmers also benefit by using excess heat from the engine-generator
to heat water and provide space heating, thereby saving $10,000 to
$15,000 annually in offset fuel purchases.
Anaerobic digesters also solve another problem: manure man-
agement. Manure can be processed through a mechanical separa-
tor, and then the solids can be dried and used to replace sawdust or
sand as bedding for the animals, because pathogens are killed dur-
ing digestion. That use alone saves $80,000 to $150,000 annually for
participating farms. Any solids not used for bedding may be further
processed and sold to the public or garden centers as a soil amend-
ment or garden compost, providing an additional revenue stream.
Taken together, these are enormous benefits in a state with a major
farm economy (Figure 3).
Cow Power even improves air quality. The digestion process re-

moves the odor normally associated with
spreading the liquid portion of manure on
crop fields as fertilizer. That reduces the
impact on aquatic organisms should an ac-
cidental manure spill or unintended runoff
into a body of water occur. Neighbors with-
in smelling distance appreciate the use of
the naturally odorless liquid manure.
Balancing supply and demand
If insufficient kilowatt-hours are available
from participating CVPS farms to meet en-
rolled customers demand, CVPS attempts
to acquire and retire renewable energy cer-
tificates (RECs) from other regional renew-
able generators. Those RECs are issued by
the regional independent system operator to
support renewable generation more broadly.
If no RECs are available in the regional
market for 4 cents per kWh or less, CVPS de-
posits Cow Power payments into the CVPS
Renewable Development Fund. This fund,
overseen by an independent board, provides
project coordination support and incentives
to farmers to stimulate further renewable
farm generation development in the CVPS
service area.
Open enrollment
Four farms are now each producing between
1.2 million and 3.5 million kWh a year of
Cow Power. Several other farms are in vari-
ous stages of planning to join the program
and are expected on-line over the next two
years. All CVPS farms received grants from
the CVPS Renewable Development Fund
and are enjoying support from the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture and state agencies
in the form of additional grant money that
covers only a portion of the capital costs of
a project.
CVPS Cow Power has received the Ver-
mont Agency of Agriculture, Food and
Markets Commissioners Choice Seal of
Quality and is one of the fastest-growing re-
newable energy programs in the country. Its
also among the most unique. In January, the
program, in partnership with the first Cow
Power producer, the Audet familys Blue
Spruce Farm, received the Vermont Gover-
nors Award for Environmental Excellence,
the states highest environmental honor. Blue
Spruce Farm has 950 milking cows produc-
ing approximately 24 million pounds of milk
a year. It also produced 1.3 million kWh in
2006.
Through their partnership, the Audet
family and Central Vermont Public Service
have given new economic hope to many of
our Vermont farms while providing cus-
tomers a fully renewable energy choice,
Vermont Governor Jim Douglas said. In cre-
ating CVPS Cow Power, the company built
an entirely new economic and environmental
model for manure management, and the Au-
dets were brave enough to become pioneers
and prove that it would work. Together with
the 4,570-plus customers who have enrolled,
CVPS and the Audets have shown the way
for the many farmers who will follow their
lead.
Other utilities are taking note of CVPSs
leadership. Two of Vermonts larger utilities
are studying the possibility of using CVPS
Cow Power as a template for their own re-
newable choice programs.

Nevada Solar One,
Boulder City, Nevada
Owner/operator: Acciona Solar Power
Concentrating solar thermal projects fell out of favor more than 15 years ago,
when the last SEGS plant was commissioned. But advances in reflective
mirror, thermal receiver, and tracking system technologies have signifi-
cantly improved the systems energy conversion efficiency at a much
lower capital cost. POWER recognizes Nevada Solar One as a 2007 Top
Plant for pushing the limits of solar thermal technology and for being
the first of a new generation of concentrating solar projects now being
developed around the world.
By Dr. Robert Peltier, PE

evelopment of solar thermal projects
in the U.S. was popular in the late
1980s, when nine plants were in-
stalled in Californias Mojave Desert. The
familiar family of Solar Electric Generating
Station (SEGS) projects has a total capacity
of 354 MW; the largest two plants, rated at
80 MW each, entered commercial service in
1990 and 1991, respectively. Even though all
the SEGS plants are still operating and pro-
ducing power for the electrical grid at around
99% availability, loss of tax credits, devel-
oper financial problems, and changes in the
California energy market ended development
of solar thermal plants of this design.
Lately, a confluence of improved technol-
ogies, higher energy prices, and state renew-
able energy mandates has created a much

more favorable climate for solar thermal generation. So solar thermal
has risen againthis time thanks to Acciona Energy.
Acciona Energy may be unfamiliar to you unless youre working
in the wind or solar energy business. But the companys creden-
tials are well established, especially outside the U.S. Its portfolio
of 4,690 MW installed in 175 wind farms in 10 countries makes
Acciona perhaps the largest wind developer in the world. In May,
Acciona Windpower entered the competitive U.S. market when it
began construction of a wind turbine manufacturing plant in West
Branch, Iowa. The company expects to have the capacity to produce
250 1.5-MW turbines by the end of 2008. Wind is only part of Ac-
cionas renewables business; solar energy plants, both photovoltaic
and solar thermal, also play a major role.
The next generation
Nevada Solar One builds on the experience derived from the SEGS
projects and uses much of the same solar collection technology. The
project was initially developed by Solargenix Energy in 2003, al-
though it is now jointly owned by Acciona Energia and Solargenix
Energy. (Acciona Energia purchased 55% of Solargenix Energy and
formed Acciona Solar Power.) The only other utility-scale concen-
trating solar collectorstyle plant in the U.S. is the Saguaro Solar
Power Plant, owned and operated by Arizona Public Service. That

constructed in just 16 months. Solar One is
the largest renewable generating facility in
the state of Nevada (Figure 1). In fact, its
immense size350 acresis, in the words
of Green TV Productions Shaine Ebrahimi,
mind-blowing. (You can watch Ebrahimis
podcast interview with project leaders at
www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news

Power generated from the plant is pur-
chased by Nevada Power Co. and Sierra Pa-
cific Power under a 20-year power purchase
agreement. Nevadas Renewable Portfolio
Standard requires utilities to produce 20% of
their electrical generation from renewables
by 2013 and includes a so-called solar cut-
out that requires at least one-fourth of that
power to come from solar sources. After all,
the solar energy that shines on Las Vegas
should stay in Las Vegas.
Solargenix has a 40-year lease with Boul-
der City for Solar Ones site at a cost of
$550,000 a year. The company also signed
an option to lease another 650 acres in the
future. Nevada Power Co. built a new 230-
kV substation to interconnect the facility.
Abilene, Texasbased Lauren Engineers &
Constructors was the engineering procure-
ment/construction contractor.
Collecting rays
The solar collection system has more than
19,000 PTR 70 steel and glass, 12-foot-long
receiver tubes, provided by Germanys Shott
AG (www.schott.com), located on the focal
line of the 219,000 parabolically shaped
mirrors (Figure 2). These mirrors focus 30
to 60 times the suns energy on the receiver
tubes. The collectors, first manufactured for
the 1-MW Saguaro plant, are aligned on an
east-west axis. Each mirror panel is rotated
by 760 individual sun trackers to maximize
the energy input to the receiver tubes. The
trackers can pick up the sun when it rises
just 10 degrees above the horizon in the
morning. Flabeg (www.flabeg.com), anoth-
er German company, provided the mirror
panels (Figure 3).
Special synthetic oil serves as the heat-
transfer fluid and circulates in a closed loop
through the receiver tubes, which can han-
dle up to 750F (Figure 4). A steam genera-
tor produces superheated steam to power a
conventional 75-MW SST-700 two-stage
industrial steam turbine with reheat (pro-
vided by Siemens Power Generation, www
.powergeneration.siemens.com), which gen-
erates the electrical power. A conventional
cooling tower rejects heat from the condens-
er. The power generation side of the plant
would be very familiar to any experienced
power plant engineer. Its how the fuel en-
ters and burns in the steam generator that
makes the plant unique (Figure 5).
This is a technology the utilities are com-
fortable with, it has proven reliability, it lends
itself to economies of scale, there clearly is
still some room for price reduction, and also
its a way to get large amounts of renew-
able energy deployed rapidly, said Chuck
Kutscher, principal engineer and group man-
ager of the Thermal Systems Group at the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory. If
we want to get serious about reducing carbon
dioxide emissions and lower our use of fossil
fuels, this is a way to quickly address that.
Im very optimistic about this technology.

monitors to reduce the need for lighting and
air conditioning.
Economic factors
A familiar criticism of wind and solar proj-
ects is that they dont generate power dur-
ing peak consumption hours. Thats not true
with Solar One, where peak generation hours
are a close match with its customers peak
demand patterns. Air conditioning loads
dominate in the desert, and those loads are
coincident with periods of the highest solar
energy production.
The cost of generation from Solar One is
estimated to be around $0.15 to $0.17/kWh.
With greater efficiencies and economies of
scale, costs can be expected to fall in com-
ing years. The DOE/Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy goal is to reduce the cost
for concentrating solar thermal systems to
$0.035 to $0.043 per kWh by 2020. A Na-
tional Energy Technology Laboratory rep
says the SEGS projects are producing power
in the $0.12 to $0.14/kWh range today.
System improvements
Solargenix has made significant improve-
ments to support and tracking systems since
the last SEGS plant went into service. The
support structure for the concentrating solar
collector is reminiscent of the Luz design,
but Solar One uses aluminum structural
components that can be machined to close
tolerances and then easily assembled in the
field while maintaining those tolerances.
This improves the concentrators ability to
precisely focus on the receiver pipes, even
under high wind loads.
Additional research and development
work has also reduced the thickness of the
mirror and its surface coatings to improve
performance. The technology to produce
lightweight, composite concentrator mod-
ules was not available when the SEGS plants
were designed.
The Schott receivers employ a number of
other improvements that werent available to
the early SEGS receivers. Among them are a
new antireflective glass coating that resists
abrasion while allowing more than 96% of
the solar radiation to penetrate the receiver
and the use of new absorptive steel coatings
that improve radiation absorption rates to
95%.
Solar One can also be differentiated from
the SEGS projects by the design use of back-
up natural gas during periods of low-incident
solar energy. SEGS is designed for up to
25% natural gas use, whereas Solar One is
allowed to only use 2% natural gas to steady
temperature fluctuations in the heat-transfer
oil and for freeze protection. Solar One is a
solar-only system that uses just 30 minutes
worth of thermal storage to minimize the ef-
fects of transients.
One major technical challenge for Shott
was to maintain the seal between the glass
tubing that contains the vacuum-packed steel
receiver that circulates 750F synthetic oil.
Schott responded by developing a special
borosilicate glass that actually has the same
thermal coefficient as steel. This eliminates
any differential movement as well as thermal
stress in the system caused by daily swings
in desert temperatures, which can dip to
freezing at night and then bounce back into
the triple digits the following day.
Whats next?
Dont expect to wait another 15 years for the
next concentrating solar facility to be built.
Acciona is already hard at work developing
two similar 50-MW plants in Spain and is
in discussions with many other developers
around the world to replicate the design of
Nevada Solar One. Expect to see similar sys-
tems coming to a desert near you.

Raft River Geothermal Project,
Malta, Idaho
Owner/operator: U.S. Geothermal Inc.
Geothermal power is a unique renewable energy because it has the best po-
tential capacity factor and is perhaps the only option for baseload power
generation. U.S. Geothermal has constructed the first geothermal plant
in Idaho in a generation by restoring an abandoned DOE demonstration
project site that may possess a development potential of over 100 MW us-
ing proven power generation technology. The success of Raft River may
well determine the future of geothermal energy production in Idaho.
By Dr. Robert Peltier, PE
I
daho began tapping its vast geothermal
energy supplies as far back as 1892 to
supply district heating to its capital city,
Boise. A century later Idaho had no operat-
ing geothermal plants because readily avail-
able inexpensive hydro power resources
made new commercial geothermal projects
difficult to justify, even if the fuel is essen-
tially free.
U.S. Geothermal Inc. (USG) is close to
breaking that long dry spell with commercial
operation of the first phase of its new and
improved Raft River Geothermal Project.
The plant is located in the Raft River region
of southern Idaho, approximately 200 miles
southeast of Boise (Figure 1).
The Raft River site is located in what is by
far the most studied region for geothermal re-

sources in the state. The Idaho National Lab-
oratory began research in 1975 on regional
geothermal resources and characterization
of the various geothermal fields in the Snake
River plain in Cassia County. A 1985 study
commissioned by the Bonneville Power Ad-
ministration confirmed that the Raft River
area ranked first in the Final High Tempera-
ture Ranking: Pacific Northwest for sites
in the four-state region. Subsequent studies
confirmed the site has a 50% probability of
producing 15.6 MW per square mile.
The DOE began construction of the
worlds first commercial-scale binary geo-
thermal power plant at the same site in early
1980. That demonstration plant operated
from the fall of 1981 until June of 1982 and
produced a net output of 4 MW. Five pro-
duction wells and two reinjection wells were
drilled to depths of from 4,500 feet to 6,000
feet. Geothermal fluid temperatures ranged
from 275F to 300F (Figure 2).
By mid-1982 the DOE changed its pri-
orities on geothermal research and decided
to privatize future geothermal development
government jargon meaning that the commer-
cial price of geothermal power was way too
high. So the DOE declared victory at the $40
million Raft River demonstration plant, sold
off the pumps and electrical equipment, and
packed up and shipped the plant equipment to
another geothermal project in Nevada. Only
the capped wells and a maintenance building
remained when the geothermal garage sale
was over and the doors were locked. The site
remained untouched for the next 20 years.
Under new ownership
USG saw more than abandoned wells and
unused equipment foundations at Raft River.
It saw opportunity. The experienced USG
staff knew that all the geotechnical analyses
of the region, including those of geothermal
resources, had been thoroughly mapped dur-
ing the DOE project. They also understood
that the days of building more cheap hy-
droelectric power plants had passed, power
prices are rising, and local utilities are now
extremely interested in adding more renew-
able power to their generation resource mix.
The business plan was sound: Build a
new and more efficient geothermal plant
and fuel it by using the existing geother-
mal wells. The challenges were to secure the
original project site and infrastructure, sur-
rounding area leases for geothermal energy
to maximize the sites potential for power
generation, and an interconnection agree-
ment for the power generated. Sounds like a
reasonably simple plan in concept, but it was
much more complicated to execute. Working
in USGs favor were steadily rising electric-
ity costs and advances in the efficiency of the
design and modular construction of binary
cycles operating with low temperatures on
geothermal resources.
Converting energy
Ormat (www.ormat.com)a leading sup-
plier of binary power systems for geothermal
plantswas selected to provide equipment
and construct the new 13-MW (nominal)
Phase One plant. In fact, POWER editors
recognized Arizona Public Services Saguaro
Solar Power Plant as a 2006 Top Plant for
Ormats successful demonstration of a 1-MW
concentrated solar power, trough-style power
system (July/August 2006, p. 82); Ormat sup-
plied its Energy Converter (OEC), a 1.35-MW
system, for that project.
This binary-cycle process is used by USG
at Raft Riverand may be used at most
geothermal projects in the futurebecause
reservoir temperatures are relatively low:
300F or less. At Raft River, the OEC re-
ceives 3,150,000 lb/hr of geothermal brine at
280F, which enters the shell side of a heat
exchanger before being reinjected to replen-
ish the reservoir.
Energy from the geothermal fluid is trans-
ferred to isopentane on the tube side of the
heat exchanger to power a two-stage steam
turbine with a direct-connected generator
turning at 1,800 rpm. In other words, its a
typical Rankine cycle. Isopentane is used be-
cause it vaporizes at lower temperatures and
higher pressures than water, making it an ide-
al working fluid for recovering energy from
low-temperature geothermal fluids (Figure
3). The vaporous isopentane is condensed

and heat is rejected through a conventional
four-cell cooling tower.
The plants net power output (net of pow-
er plant internal loads but exclusive of injec-
tion pump loads) is 13.7 MW. USG expects
the Raft River project to operate with a plant
availability of at least 96%.
Redevelopment work
The site and related assets were acquired in
June 2002. Soon thereafter, USG began plan-
ning to reactivate the dormant wells, upgrade
the facilities, and install a state-of-the-art bi-
nary power system.
Perhaps the greatest risk facing USG was
estimating the long-term production rate of
the existing five production wells, two in-
jection wells, and seven monitoring wells
that had sat idle for two decades. USG was
looking beyond merely reactivating the ex-
isting wells that needed a thorough upgrade;
it was visualizing a site that could produce
over 100 MW.
USG obtained a DOE grant to help off-
set the costs of well clean-up and a flow test
program that began in April 2004. The field
tests consisted of production well flow tests
on each of the five production wells to deter-
mine their power generation capacity and to
collect data to be used in the design of the
binary power system (Figure 4).
USG also upgraded or lengthened exist-
ing wells, and added new wells for a 20-year
project design life as part of an overall well-
improvement program. In late December
last year, the company completed RRG-4,
the fourth geothermal resource well for Raft
River, when a new directional leg was suc-
cessfully drilled through several high-perme-
ability fracture zones and subsequent flow
tests confirmed the well was producing pro-
duction quantities of geothermal fluids for
the Phase One plant.
RRG-3 was deepened from 5,937 feet
to 6,195 feet, and a new second leg on the
well was drilled to 5,735 feet. Well testing
also confirmed that upgrades were success-
ful when both RRG-3 and -4 flowed at more
than 1,000 gpm, thereby demonstrating that
each well had successfully connected with
the geothermal reservoir and that the flow
rate is adequate for the plants needs. A new
reinjection well was also drilled to serve
Phase One and subsequent additions to the
plant. The results of the current drilling pro-
gram are significant because we have shown
that the hot geothermal reservoir extends all
the way out to our planned injection well
sites, said Daniel Kunz, president and CEO
of U.S. Geothermal Inc.
Today, USG owns or leases the geother-
mal rights to approximately 10.8 square
miles. The final 2.6square mile parcel was
leased from the Bureau of Land Management
in June. The company estimates that, sub-
ject to successful drilling results, 110 MW

of continuous geothermal power resources
may now be available. Better yet, the mea-
sured well temperatures are between 275F
and 300F at depths between 4,500 and 6,000
feet. The fluid is clean and has low salinity,
although the dissolved solids content is be-
tween 1,200 and 6,800 ppm with low, non-
condensable gas contenta perfect fuel
for the OEC.
Paying the freight
Financing a project of this magnitude can be
as detailed and time-consuming as design-
ing and constructing the plant. If one part is
missing, the plant doesnt run. Or the bills
dont get paid.
Financing Raft River meant finding a
partner that would share USGs vision for
the future of Idaho geothermal energy. USG
found that financial partner in an affiliate of
the Goldman Sachs Group. Together, they
formed Raft River Energy I LLC, which
built, owns, and will operate the 13-MW
Phase One project. USG contributed $5 mil-
lion and transferred ownership of the five
production and two reinjection wells, as well
as other geothermal rights and leases cover-
ing 1,800 of the 5,200 acres of rights now
held, to Raft River Energy I. Goldman Sachs
matched with the $34 million needed to con-
struct Phase One.
The project economics are compelling.
Power sales are expected to be around $5
million a year from the 25-year agreement
with Idaho Power Co. Then theres the tax
rebate: Idaho refunds 100% of its 6% sales
tax on the cost of constructing a renewable
energy plant.
Also working in USGs favor was the
Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended
the federal production tax credit (PTC) from
wind projects only to include geothermal
power plants completed by December 31,
2007, when the PTC was due to expire. The
Raft River project was accelerated to meet
that PTC deadline (although the PTC was
extended for an additional year last Decem-
ber). The PTC, currently $19/MWh, kicks
in another $1.7 million annually to push the
projects economics from merely average to
exciting.
Additionally, USG has signed a $4.6 mil-
lion renewable energy credit purchase and
sale agreement with Holy Cross Energy of
Colorado. That 10-year deal is for 10 of the
13 MW produced by Phase One of the Raft
River project and is equivalent to approxi-
mately $5.25/MWh.
Just warming up
Construction of Raft River Phase One began
in June 2006, and Ormat began construction
of the OEC in November 2006 (Figure 5).
Commercial operation is expected late this
year.
The electrical interconnection was com-
pleted without incident. A 3.2-mile 34.5-kV
extension was built to connect the geother-
mal power with the Bonneville Power Ad-
ministration Bridge Substation, where the
voltage is kicked up to 138-kV transmission
line voltage. The power is then delivered to
Idaho Power Co. at its Minidoka Dam sub-
station, approximately 45 miles away.
USG wants to complete Phase Two, a 26-
MW unit, by early 2009. If those plans are
successful, Phase Three could add another
50 MW by the end of 2012.

Steel Winds Project,
Lackawanna, New York
Owner/operator: UPC Wind and BQ Energy
This year, for the first time, the U.S. wind power industry is poised to push past
the 3,000 MW installed per year milestone. At 20 MW, Steel Winds may
seem like a footnote, but its importance is measured in more meaningful
terms than just size. Steel Winds is the first commercial deployment of the
Clipper Windpower 2.5-MW Liberty turbine, the first installation on a for-
mer Superfund site, and is said to be the largest wind farm in the U.S. de-
veloped in an urban setting. In addition, the project anchors Lackawannas
redevelopment of a former industrial site along Lake Erie for public use.
By Dr. Robert Peltier, PE
T
he City of Lackawanna, located on the
shore of Lake Erie just south of Buf-
falo, New York, was the center of steel
production in the region in the early 20th
century. Bethlehem Steels plant eventu-
ally grew to become the fourth-largest plant
of its kind in the world. In the second half
of the 20th century, the city enjoyed boom
years, but they were followed by a slow de-
cline that culminated with the plant closing
its doors in the mid-1980s. The remaining
Rust Belt reminds visitors and residents
alike of the environmental costs of steel-
making, especially since the area was des-
ignated a Superfund site.
A 2002 change in environmental laws
gave the city and developers immunity from
the costs of remediating the sitecosts that
had stymied redevelopment of the planned
1,600-acre site for public use under the New
York Department of Environmental Conser-
vation Brownfield Cleanup Program. The
30-acre parcel that was selected for a wind
project was more steel slag than soileven
though it was on the banks of Lake Erie.
Developing this project on a previously
industrial site had two advantages: The old
roads could be reused, as could the old power
lines to the mill, which are used to push power
back into the New York Independent System
Operator grid for sale to retail customers.
Construction of Steel Winds began in
September 2006, six months after the EPA
declared the site clean enough to be removed
from its Superfund list. Today, the stark con-
trast of eight white turbines standing amid
the remnants of abandoned factories juxta-
poses the areas past with its hopes for the
future (Figure 1).

The developer and owner of Steel Winds is
the team of UPC Wind (www.upcwind.com)
and BQ Energy (www.bqenergy.com). Clipper
Windpower (www.clipperwind.com), which
manufactured the turbines in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, will continue to provide O&M support
for the next five yearsa common owners
requirement with many wind projects.
The $40 million Steel Winds Project was
kicked off with a slag breaking ceremony
in September 2006. The turbines first pushed
power to the grid in April of this year; a June
5 commissioning followed.
This project represents the debut commer-
cial application of Clippers new 2.5-MW
Liberty wind turbines (Figure 2). Were
delighted to feature some of our first Liberty
wind turbines as a part of this milestone wind
energy project, said James G.P. Dehlsen,
Clippers chairman and CEO at the plant
dedication. Built in Americas heartland,
the turbines will be helping to restore beauty
and economic development to the local area
as they bring new clean, sustainable energy
to the people of New York.
Clippers 2.5-MW turbine is now the larg-
est wind turbine built in the U.S. (Figure 3).
The Liberty turbines have demonstrated full
rated power generation with a wind speed
of approximately 25 mph, as designed. This
project will sell capacity and renewable en-
ergy certificates to Constellation NewEnergy
through 2009.
Seldom does a new generation project gain
the universal support from the community
and city hall that Steel Winds enjoys. From
the mayors office to local university officials
and residents, everyone perceives the project
as an environmentally friendly addition to an
otherwise unremarkable site. In fact, the city
is promoting the area as a tourist destination.
People will come from far and near to look
at these, to marvel at them, Mayor Norman
Polanski said.
Locals smiles may also be prompted by
the additional property tax revenue the city is
expecting. The phase one site is configured
for a total of 13 turbines, eight of which are
now installed and operating. The developers
entered into an agreement with the city to pay
$100,000 a year for 15 years in lieu of prop-
erty taxes. However, by state law, renewables
projects like Steel Winds are tax exempt un-
less the municipality has a law that doesnt
allow the tax exemption. The Lackawanna
City Council decided such a law was more to
their liking and it passed, although not unani-
mously, in mid-October. This means the last
five turbines of phase one and the 13 turbines
for a future phase two would be subject to
property taxes rather than a negotiated in
lieu of agreement.
Inside Clippers driveline design
Wind turbine ratings have gone from 700 MW
to more than 2 MW over the past decade. As
the size of the turbines increases, so do stress-
es on turbine gearboxes and other driveline
components. The applications have a continu-
ously varying load that is difficult to predict,
so designs have to be extremely robust to meet
developers reliability goals. High torque is
normally transmitted through a three-stage
planetary gearbox in the larger systems. As
torque demands have risen, so have the size,
and cost, of the ring gears and bearings.
Clipper took a different design approach
with its Quantum Distributed Generation
Drivetrain (Quantam Drive), which uses four
permanent magnet generators and a multiple-
path, distributed gearbox that is unique in the
industry. Proprietary variable-speed technol-
ogy also enables operation in a simpler, more

clear. If one generator goes off-line, the oth-
er three continue to operate. In normal wind
conditions the drop in output isnt notice-
able; only with high winds will the capac-
ity fallby 25%. To simplify maintenance,
a single 650-kW generator can be removed
and lowered to the ground by an onboard
crane. Another boon to service: The high-
speed gear sets can be replaced without hav-
ing to remove the gearbox.
The turbine control system incorporates the
high-speed microprocessors needed to execute
algorithm computations, which are repeated
every 50 milliseconds. Unity power factor is
maintained down to a low-rated power per-
centage, reducing the need for volt-ampere-
reactive (VAR) correction. Grid integration
is achieved through power factor regulation
technology with ride-through capability,
which exceeds current and planned standards
for electric grid operation. The control system
can ride through a low-voltage condition for
up to 3 seconds. It also reduces loads by an-
ticipating resonant conditions within the drive
train structure and generators.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Developing wind projects
in Californiaor anywhere
Acquiring capacity from renewable resources is now mandatory for many elec-
tric utilities, and nowhere is green generation being pursued with more
vigor than in California. Regulators there want power from renewables to
account for at least 20% of utilities annual sales by 2010, and Governor
Schwarzenegger is proposing increasing the minimum to 33% by 2020.
Wind power appears to have the lowest technical risks of the renewables
options, but dont ignore the rising development risks. Heres a primer on
developing wind projects in the Golden Stateand elsewhere.
By Robert D. Castro, University of Southern California
R
enewable portfolio standards (RPSs)
of various forms have been adopted by
28 states and the District of Columbia
(Figure 1). Some set voluntary goals with
long implementation schedules; otherslike
those of Texas, which call for 5,880 MW
of renewable power sales by 2015man-
date both an absolute value and a near-term
deadline. Several RPSs (like those of Illinois,
Minnesota, and Oregon) aggressively target
a penetration goal as high as 25% but allow
plenty of time to meet it (2025, in all three
cases).
Californias scramble for renewable en-
ergy resources has been, for the most part,
legislatively driven. In 2002, California
passed Senate Bill (SB) 1078, which created
an RPS for Californias three investor-owned
utilities (IOUs): Southern California Edison,
Pacific Gas and Electric Co., and San Diego
Gas & Electric Co. The goals of this RPS
included increasing total annual retail power
sales from eligible renewable resources by
at least 1% per year, and attaining 20% ag-
gregate annual retail sales by 2017. Although
municipal utilities were exempted from the
specific provisions of SB 1078, the legisla-
tion did require them to develop their own
renewables programs with the same objec-
tive as SB 1078.
In 2005, Californias Energy Action Plan
and the California Energy Commissions
Integrated Energy Policy Report revised the
20% penetration level goal by calling for it
to be met seven years earlier, in 2010. The
acceleration made Californias RPS one
of the nations more aggressive standards.
Many expect it to become even more aggres-
sive within a year or two, because Governor
Schwarzenegger is pushing to make the min-
imum penetration level 33% by 2020.
State RPSs have proven to be necessary,
but hardly sufficient, for renewables project
development. For example, California IOUs
have seen about 60% of the renewables proj-
ects proposed to them fail to evolve into
viable power plants. Historically, the fatal
blow has usually been an inability to secure
financing, a site, or a grid interconnection for
a project. Recently, however, a new obstacle
has arisen in one segment of the renew-
able generation market: a shortage of wind
turbines that has made both IOUs and mu-
nicipal utilities less confident in the ability
of otherwise suitable projects to help them
meet their RPS goals on time.
Major wind turbine manufacturers are
currently so inundated with orders that 18
months may elapse between the signing of a
contract for multiple units and their delivery
to a developer. Naturally, vendors are more
likely to fast-track larger orders for at least
100 MW worth of total installed capacity.
But that practice increases backlog times for
smaller orders from the same manufacturer
and limits utilities choice of suppliers to
second-tier players with fewer commitments
to multiyear orders. Inevitably, the gap be-
tween supply and demand will take its toll
on wind turbine prices, which are currently
running at about $2,500 per kilowatt of in-
stalled capacity.
Transmission trouble
For political and economic reasons, utilities
prefer to acquire renewable generation lo-
cally. Unfortunately, because average wind
speeds typically are higher (and land prices
lower) far from load and population centers,

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
most wind farms are built in remote areas.
Such sites usually require the upgrading of
weak transmission lines or the building of
new ones to bring the farms production to
utility grids.
Indeed, transmission remains the biggest
constraint on long-term wind power devel-
opment. It might take a year to build a wind
farm but five or six years to interconnect it.
For example, Southern California Edison
(SCE) is awaiting regulatory approval of
the final legs of a high-voltage transmission
project designed to bring up to 4,500 MW
of wind generation from several wind farms
in eastern Kern County to the Los Angeles
basin via the city of Ontario. Some 1,500
MW of the total would come from wind
farms being developed near Tehachapi by
Alta Windpower Development LLC. In De-
cember 2006, SCE agreed to purchase their
output for 20 yearsthe biggest wind power
contract in U.S. history.
Government-imposed RPSs may even
have unintended negative consequences on
the development of wind farms and support-
ing transmission lines. This August, the U.S.
House of Representatives passed a compre-
hensive energy bill that would require all
states to get at least 15% of their electricity
from renewable resources, including wind,
by 2020. However, the energy bill passed by
the Senate two months earlier says nothing
about RPSs. Reconciling the two bills has
proved problematic, and the attendant uncer-
tainty about a national RPS may have an ef-
fect on developers and lenders as chilling as
the three expirations between 1999 and 2004
of the federal production tax credit (PTC)
for renewable energy facilities. (More on the
current PTC later.)
You can build all the solar arrays or
wind turbines in the world, but if you dont
have the transmission lines [to support them
they] do you no good, said Dan Riedinger, a
spokesman for Edison Electric Institute, the
trade association of U.S. IOUs. Riedinger
noted that a national RPS would only exacer-
bate the financial challenges facing utilities
by requiring them to spend more to upgrade
and add lines. Investment in U.S. grids has
steadily dropped over the past 30 years,
while electricity demand has risen by an av-
erage 2% annually for the past few decades.
Another drag on wind power transmis-
sion development is the intermittent nature
of wind. Because wind farm capacity factors
rarely exceed 40%, much of the transmission
capacity built to serve them is underused,
limiting its installed economies of scale.
For this reason, it typically costs three times
more to transmit a kilowatt-hour of wind
power than a kilowatt-hour from a fossil-fu-
eled baseload plant.
Ideally, a new wind farm would be sited
near an existing transmission system with
sufficient excess capacity to handle its out-
put (see Steel Winds, p. 52). Its more likely,
however, that the farm is near a line that
needs upgrading. Reconductoring exist-
ing lines with thicker wires is a common,
cost-effective solution to the problem, even
if doing so requires strengthening transmis-
sion towers to accommodate the added me-
chanical load. Another effective way to add
transmission capacity to a grid is to erect a
new set of towers and lines within an existing
right-of-way.
The least cost-effective and practical
approach would be seeking to build a new

transmission line within a new right-of-way.
Although the federal government has been
pressuring its agencies to streamline the pro-
cesses for approving new transmission, re-
sistance to change has been stiff. Moreover,
it may be too time-consuming for a devel-
oper to ask the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) to overrule a states
denial of a permit for a proposed project,
even one within a congested National In-
terest Transmission Corridor (see POWER,
November 2007, p. 28). Odds are, whether
youre a developer or utility, youll have to
build a substation and at least 10 miles of
new, above-ground transmission to get the
output of your farm to the existing grid, at a
cost of $2 million per mile.
If youre a utility resource planner, you
have the usual two optionsbuild or buy
for acquiring the wind capacity needed to
help satisfy your RPS mandate. Each ap-
proach has pros and cons. Lets start with the
option of building your own wind farm.
Catching the wind yourself
Finding a site for a wind farm has been made
more difficult by booming demand for the
clean, CO
2
-free energy source. According to
the American Wind Energy Association, the
U.S. is on track to add well over 3,000 MW
of wind power capacity this year, topping last
years record of 2,454 MW. California ranks
second nationally, behind Texas, in installed
wind generating capacity, with 2,376 MW.
Location. With wind power in such de-
mand, many of the sites with the best wind
profilesthe most consistently high average
wind speeds, in other wordshave already
been spoken for. The three areas in Califor-
nia with the best wind profiles are Altamont,
Tehachapi, and Banning Pass.
As land owners in these areas have be-
come more aware of the enhanced value of
their property, many are now less interested
in selling their land to developers and utili-
ties and keener on leasing it to them at ris-
ing market rates, in the hope of creating a
perpetual revenue stream. Of those landown-
ers willing to sell, some have even sold their
wind rights and land-use rights to different
parties (based on precedents legalizing the
separation of mineral rights from land-use
rights), with contracts stipulating that the
new land-use owner will provide easements
enabling the new wind-rights owner to erect
turbines on the property.
Wind profiles in the U.S. heartland are
very favorable, but moving wind-generated
electricity over heavily loaded existing lines
to California remains problematic. Many
Midwest states are planning new transmis-
sion, but the lines typically terminate in
Utah, under the erroneous assumption that
existing transmission capacity from there
west is sufficient.
When you look for a site, try to find one
where the average wind speed (confirmed by
a years worth of readings from anemom-
eters) is at least 16 miles/hr, which would
generally give your turbines a capacity factor
of 30% or better. Proximity to transmission
lines with excess capacity also is important.
For economies of scale, your wind farm
should have an installed capacity of at least
100 MWanything less might make your
per-kWh price uncompetitive.
Large wind turbines require terrain that is
fairly level, so the site should not have sig-
nificant grades. If the surrounding terrain
makes the site difficult to access, construc-
tion costs go up drastically. Ive found that
some inaccessible sites require a lot more
road building than wind farm development.
To avoid this problem altogether, go off-
shore. In fact, there are more advantages than
disadvantages to building a wind farm off-
shore, as compared with those on land. On
the plus side, delivering large components
like blades hundreds of feet longto terres-
trial installations usually is more problematic

than shipping them to offshore sites. More of-
ten than not, offshore sites also have stronger
and steadier winds than land-based sites. And
then theres the blade advantage. Terrestrial
turbines typically use three blades to make
them quieter. Offshore, noise is no problem,
so two-blade turbines are more common
there. Because turbine blades are among the
most expensive components of a wind farm,
the capital cost savings can be substantial.
The biggest disadvantages of offshore
wind farms are the higher cost of building
them at sea and the need for long transmis-
sion cables to bring their output onshore.
Construction costs vary from site to site and
depend on seabed geology and water depth.
Less is known about how much more it costs
to operate and maintain an offshore wind
farm. But experience from the many installa-
tions offshore of Europe (see Burbo Bank, p.
30) is accumulating rapidly.
Ownership. Because you may be invest-
ing hundreds of millions of dollars in a site,
it behooves you to control it for an extended
period. For that reason, buying land is gener-
ally better than leasing it. But if you must
lease, or choose to do so, get a lease for at
least 30 years with an option to extend the
term. In most instances, the facilitys infra-
structure and installations are worth far more
than the land itself. So if you sublet the land
to a developer, structure the contract so that
if he defaults, you retain the lease rights.
Size. How many turbines can be squeezed
onto a wind farm? That number is a function
of the size of your farm and the length of
your turbine blades. As rules of thumb, fig-
ure that each turbine in a row will be three
to five diameters (or roughly six to 10 blade
lengths) from its neighbor, and that the rows
will be five to nine diameters apart. Packing
turbines too tightly hinders the reforming of
wind between two machines and may cause
the turbulence produced by a turbine to ad-
versely affect its neighbors.
Buying wind power wholesale
The booming wind power market has in-
creased the number of developers willing to
build a wind farm and sell it or its electri-
cal output to you. Most IOUs are opting for
ownership, but some larger developers are
balking at relinquishing it. Given the high
percentage of proposed plants that fail to
come to fruition, be sure that a prospective
developer has firm control of the proposed
site before taking the trouble to negotiate a
contract; doing so will weed out a good por-
tion of the pseudo-projects. Another way
to ensure the viability and security of your
wind farm is to deal only with larger devel-
opers, or developers backed by substantial
guarantors. Finally, determine how far along
the project is in its environmental review, as
that may be the critical path for setting an
in-service date.
Contracts. Before starting full-fledged
negotiations, establish a confidentiality
agreement and exclusive negotiation rights.
That will save you the frustration of almost
reaching a deal only to have it pulled away at
the last minute. If you plan on multiple ca-
pacity acquisitions, develop an in-house pro
forma contract to use as a template. Doing so
will allow you to be intimately familiar with
contracts at the start of negotiations. After a
few deals, youll become familiar with the
likely pushback points and the industry
standards for various clauses. You should
also be aware of the typical rates of returns
for investors underwriting the project: 9% to
11% for tax-exempt investments, and 14% to
16% for tax equity investments.
When its time to negotiate, start by get-
ting your developer to commit to a com-
mercial operation date (COD). Be sure your
contract includes both incentives for the de-
veloper to beat specified project milestones
and penalties if milestones or the COD are
not met (see POWER, November 2007,
Milestones on the road to commercial op-
eration, p. 80).
It is also useful to have the value of the
wind farm be predetermined for any time
during the contract period, including the pre-
commissioned date. Insist on having the first
right of refusal for any sale of the project in
case of foreclosure, or at least the right of
first offer. Doing so ensures that if the lender
forecloses on the property, the utility will
finish the project and make it operational
without disturbing the schedule for RPS
compliance.
Pricing. Be aware that there are two dif-
ferent pricing structures for wind energy:
one for so-called P99 wind (with a 99%
probability of occurring) and another for P50
wind. Use the former when calculating rates
of return on investment.
Compare developers proposals based on
a levelized price for energy, with escalations
only on the O&M component. Ive found this
to be the easiest way to compare the values
of proposals, and lenders seem to like esca-
lations on O&M because they know O&M
costs increase. Ive seen some offers start out
with very low energy costs and have an an-
nual inflation quotient applied to the entire
energy cost (not just on the O&M compo-
nent), making for very expensive energy.
Good neighbor policies
Wind projects must meet a series of legisla-
tive requirements related to environmental
and construction issues. Before construction
can begin, an environmental review may be
needed to categorize and minimize potential
effects upon plants and animals. According
to the National Environmental Policy Act,
any wind project selling power to a federal
entity, moving power over a federal trans-
mission line, or using federal funding or fed-
eral land must be analyzed to determine its
potential environmental impact.
In California, the overall permitting pro-
cess for a wind farm is usually much longer
and more costly than in neighboring states
due to stricter environmental regulations and
much higher levels of public participation.
Naturally, those factors also are reflected in
environmental permitting. Wind plants built
in the Golden State are subject to the Cali-
fornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
which may require additional studies, pub-
lic hearings, and documentation. Any sig-
nificant environmental impacts identified in
the subsequent environmental impact study
must include a plan for monitored mitigation
measures.
The time and money required to satisfy
the requirements of CEQA are significant
often, as much as hundreds of thousands of
dollars and up to three years. In addition, cur-
rent state legislation is unclear as to whether
municipal utilities can commit to wind proj-
ects prior to their CEQA certification. That
uncertainty may drive wind farm developers
to work only with utilities that are not di-
rectly subject to CEQA guidelines (IOUs,
for example).
A problem often encountered by devel-
opers is the discovery of a local obstacle to
construction after the site plan has been sub-
mitted for CEQA approval. The discovery of
an endangered plant or animal, or a cultural
or archeological resource at even one planned
turbine site would typically require resubmit-
tal of the CEQA with a revised routing plan.
In most cases, such a discovery would cause
an unplanned delay of the project.
One way to avoid this problem is to use
a micro-siting plan. In initial site studies,
provide for areas 20% larger than those dic-
tated by turbine footprints. Then, if a local
obstacle is discovered, there will be suffi-
cient space to resite a turbine a short distance
away but still within the scope of the CEQA
submittal. This approach is now being tried
in Oregon and Washington, and it may be-
come acceptable to California regulators.
Bird and bat mortality has long been a con-
cern and a source of litigation against wind
farm developers. However, as wind turbine
blades have gotten longer, their tip speeds
have come down, somewhat mitigating these
concerns. The exception has been potential
fatalities of nocturnal migratory birds.

farm include the Resource, Conservation and
Recovery Act; the Noise Control Act; the
Endangered Species Act; the Archeological
Resources Protection Act; the Occupational
Health and Safety Act; and the Indian Reli-
gious Freedom Act.
Another issue to consider is a wind farms
possible interference with military flight
paths. As mentioned, most wind farms are
sited in remote areas with low population
densityjust the kind of areas favored by
the military for training pilots to fly at alti-
tudes as low as 200 feet. Before investing too
much effort in an area, check with local au-
thorities about military activities nearby.
Roll the credits
Wind power has value as a fungible com-
modity. But it also has intrinsically valuable
nonenergy attributesrenewable energy
credits (RECs), or green tagsthat can be
bought and sold on the open market as ve-
hicles for meeting RPS goals.
Californias RPS program has helped
spawn the Western Regional Energy Genera-
tion Information System (WREGIS), an in-
dependent renewable energy tracking system
for utilities in the Western Electricity Coordi-
nating Council. WREGIS performs the same
function as tracking systems elsewhere in the
U.S. (ERCOT, NEPOOL GIS, and MRETS,
for example): certifying RECs for renewable
energy production.
Although WREGIS is a voluntary pro-
gram, it enjoys the support of most wind
power industry participants and state and
local regulators in the western U.S. Many
expect it to become the national standard for
tracking the generation and transfer of RECs.
Since WREGIS went live in June 2007, it
has made the market for RECs more cred-
ible and fluid. Most western IOUs and their
regulators now use WREGIS data to verify
RPS compliance.
Money matters
Wind farms typically require a capital invest-
ment on the order of hundreds of millions of
dollars, so financing issues are critical to
project development.
A boon to wind power financing arrived
two years ago in the form of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005. It provides a federal pro-
duction tax credit (PTC) of 19 cents/kWh to
any renewable energy facility built by De-
cember 31, 2008the provisions sunset
date. Although the current PTC is likely to be
renewed (as most of its predecessors were,
eventually), your negotiations with develop-
ers should include calculations of the cost of
wind energy both with and without the effect
of the subsidy.
The salient feature of the current PTC is its
size; 19 cents/kWh is enough to underwrite
20% to 30% of a typical wind farms total in-
stalled cost. The PTC is typically exhausted
by the 10th year of a facilitys commercial
operation. However, it is not directly avail-
able to tax-exempt entities, such as munici-
pal utilities. To take advantage of the federal
PTC, munis need to develop other models
with other options. One is the early buyout,
which entails having a third party, such as the
developer, own and operate a wind farm until
its PTC runs out and then sell the plant to
the utility at its current market value. Many
agreements also include a buyout option at
the end of the contract term.
Another option that can retrieve 10% to
15% of wind energys production cost is to
prepay for the energy. Though PTC provi-
sions forbid the buyer of renewable energy
from even partially funding development of
a facility, prepurchasing the expected energy

is allowable and provides money with which
a developer can build a wind farm. This ap-
proach, however, imposes extra risk on the
utility by replacing the traditional pay as
you go approach with one requiring a much
larger upfront investment. If the PTC is of
little or no value to a utility, it makes sense
for it to have the option to buy the facility
when it comes on-line.
For many developers intent on building
multiple projects, consolidating their devel-
oped assets is an attractive mechanism for
addressing bankruptcy concerns. By financ-
ing at a higher level in the corporate structure
than the particular project company, these
developers can use several projects as secu-
rity for the debt incurred at the holding com-
pany level. However, this strategy increases
the buyers risk, because if one of those proj-
ects goes bankrupt, all of the projects listed
as collateral may be subject to bankruptcy
proceedings. The buyer of one particular
projects output can mitigate this increased
risk by securing a mortgage on the project
and subordinating all of its other indebted-
ness to the mortgage.
The costs of doing business
Even though wind turbines dont require
on-site staff for daily operation, youre not
finished with project costs once the site and
turbines have been secured.
Power quality. Because wind farms pro-
duce asynchronous, intermittent power, their
operating guidelines are more stringent than
those of fossil-fueled plants. For example, a
wind farm should be able to shed up to half
of its generation within 20 seconds of the
occurrence of a transmission contingency
to avoid causing grid instability. Some utili-
ties require this shedding to be accomplished
within 2 seconds.
If sufficient shedding has not taken place
within the specified time, a backup shedding
system will start to open specified feeder
breakers in sequential order. Most utility in-
terconnection agreements impose additional
operating constraints. One is the requirement
that the wind farm be operated so the trans-
mission lines power factor ranges between
0.98 lagging and 0.98 leading.
Proper operation of a wind farm requires
extensive studies, including steady-state load
flow and dynamic analyses. Such studies,
which cost between $50,000 and $100,000,
determine what additional power quality
equipment, like capacitors, is needed to meet
the standards for interconnection to the local
utility. They also provide information such
as how quickly generation shedding needs
to be accomplished in the event of transmis-
sion instability (2 seconds or 20 seconds, for
example).
Communications. Most wind genera-
tion equipment comes with a prepackaged
communication system. Although such sys-
tems provide valuable real-time operating
information, they typically are not optimized
with the end user in mind. Other communi-
cation systems, like those offered by Second
Wind Inc. (www.secondwind.com), provide
a superior wind energy measurement and
control system that works well with many
wind farm supervisory control and data ac-
quisition (SCADA) systems.
Hierarchically, a SCADA system operates
one level above a power plants real-time
control system to control a process external
to the SCADA system. At a wind farm, the
SCADA system can work in concert with
other control equipment to execute a soft
shutdown of the wind turbines when a pre-
determined conditionsuch as the need for
generation sheddingarises.
Maintenance. Because they have far
fewer moving parts and no fuel-handling
systems, wind farms require much less main-
tenance than comparably sized fossil-fuel
plants. Some require only 30 hours of sched-
uled downtime annually, during planned out-
ages that can be scheduled so that only a few
turbines are out of service at any one time.
However, unscheduled maintenance is an
issue that all plant operators must contend
with. Unless the wind farms maintenance
staff has extensive experience with wind
turbines, its a good idea to try to get as
long a turbine warranty as possible, to pass
the turbines maintenance risk back to their
vendor. A typical manufacturers warranty
guarantees 95% availability for two years;
some provide coverage for up to five years.
However, a few manufacturers, such as GE
Energy, offer a very limited service warranty
on their turbines.
Many utilities have found that union or
labor contracts restrict how much wind farm
maintenance can be outsourced. Given that
constraint, its wise to purchase a turbine
warrantys training option. That way, when
your warranty period expires, your O&M
staff will know how to maintain and fix the
turbines and who to call at the vendor if they
cant. Of course (if your contracts permit),
you could always farm out wind turbine
O&M to a specialist such as enXco Inc.
(www.forasenergy.com).
Another maintenance issue to consider
is access to wind turbine components. Most
turbines require maintenance techs to climb
ladders up to 200 feet high to reach the ro-
tor. The effort required to do so on a regular
basis limits the pool of available technicians
and their career longevity. Some newer wind
turbines are equipped with service elevators
to facilitate maintenance.
Reliability: Improving by design
Historically, the weakest link of a wind tur-
bine has been its gearbox. As turbine sizes
have increased, designing gearboxes able to
handle the forces generated by longer and
heavier blades has become problematic.
Making matters worse, turbine loading is
variable and hard to predict. It is not uncom-
mon to have a gearbox fail in less than two
years of operation.
Most gearbox failures have been due to
movement of the machine chassis, which
causes misalignment of the gearbox with
generator shafts and leads to failure. Such
failures typically occur in the high-speed
rear gearing portion of the gearbox when the
bearings become faulty. The frequency of
failures can be reduced by regular, once-a-
year turbine realignments.
Most manufacturers have made their tur-
bines more reliable by improving the lube-oil
filtration system in the gearbox so it can re-
move all particles larger than seven microns
across. If a particle of that size breaks free of
the meshing gears, it can damage other gears
and bearings.
Some wind turbine vendors, like Enercon
GmbH (www.enercon.de), are experiment-
ing with increasing the number of poles in
their machines, making it possible to elimi-
nate the gearbox. Though most turbines have
four or six magnetic fields from windings
(pole pairs) and use a gearbox, if the gen-
erator has 50 to 100 pole pairs, the use of
electronic control also can eliminate the need
for a gearbox. Coupling the blades directly to
the generator in machines without a gearbox
also eliminates the mechanical or tonal noise
produced by conventional turbines.
Other manufacturers, like Clipper Wind-
power Plc (www.clipperwind.com), have
further improved reliability by using distrib-
uted gearing using multiple paths and mul-
tiple generators (see p. 54). The company
claims this approach will ensure continued
turbine operation even if one of the genera-
tors fails. But the claim will have to be veri-
fied by operating experience of the first plant
to use eight of Clippers production-model,
2.5-MW Liberty I machinesthe Steel
Winds project near Buffalo, N.Y., which
only entered service in April 2007.
Reactive power needs
Wind turbines typically drive an asynchro-
nous generator that consumes, rather than
generates, reactive power. Consequently,
their power factor must be corrected be-
fore the wind farm can be connected to the
transmission system. Compensation for the
reactive power corresponding to no-load
conditions is typically done using fixed
capacitors within the facility. Any remain-

ing reactive power consumption in excess
of that must be compensated for by other
methods.
Most turbines have integral inverters that
can convert the turbines output to direct
current and then back to alternating cur-
rent at any desired power factor. However,
using inverters for power factor correction
may create problematic stray currents in the
generator rotor. If a stray current is drawn to
ground by arcing over the generator bear-
ings, the generator will fail. Newer designs
use permanent-magnet rotors to eliminate
these stray currents and prevent failure.
Although placing an inverter inside a wind
turbines nacelle (the hub housing, where
the generator resides) is the rule in the rest
of the world, in the U.S., General Electric
has a patent on this technology (when used
as a doubly fed induction generator to meet
low-voltage ride-through requirements) that
wont expire until 2010. As a result, other
manufacturers and developers have had to re-
sort to various volt-amperes reactive (VAR)
compensation schemes, some of which are
company secrets. However, the patent re-
striction is not too limiting, because at wind
farms with capacities larger than 20 MW it is
more economic to collect all the output from
the wind turbines and provide VAR support
at one location.
A standard way to provide VAR support
outside the turbine is to dynamically com-
pensate for reactive power using static VAR
compensators (SVCs). SVCs comprise par-
allel banks of capacitors and a reactor, some
or all of which are controlled by thyristors.
Their control circuitry performs a number of
functions, such as determining the best time
to switch in the capacitors to avoid unneces-
sary voltage stress on the system.
Using SVCs for VAR support costs about
half as much as using inverters. However,
SVCs operate more slowly than inverters
(in one cycle, vs. cycle), and not over the
full voltage range needed for uniform VAR
support. Whats more, SVCs have substan-
tially less low-voltage ride-through capabil-
itynot enough to meet FERC Order 661.
In addition, any SVC installation needs to be
thoroughly analyzed for possible harmonic
resonance in the system. This analysis is
made more complicated because SVCs mod-
ify the resonance frequencies of a system,
depending how the SVC is operated.
Consider a typical 100-MW installation
that requires 30 MVAR for dynamic stabil-
ity. Because the MVARs are only required
for dynamic support, the overload capability
of the power inverters can be used to meet
this criterion. For example, DSTATCOM
inverters from American Superconductor
(www.amsuper.com) are designed to handle
2.6 times the rated VAR output for 2 seconds.
Twelve MVARs of DSTATCOMs meet the
dynamic requirement, and another 38 MVAR
of capacitor banks will be required to meet
the power factor requirements.
Integrating wind power
When trying to couple a wind farm to a
transmission system, one of the first techni-
cal problems encountered is that winds load
profile is usually out of sync with what the
system needs. Though the typical utilitys
summer weekday peak demand occurs be-
tween 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., a wind farms pro-
duction typically peaks in the late evening
and early morning. This situation leads both
to underproduction during peak demand pe-
riods (which utilities must address by dis-
patching peaking plants) and overproduction
at other times.
There are likely to be a few hours dur-
ing the year when a wind farm sends a util-
ity more power than it needs. In such cases,
the utility may need to reduce thermal gen-

eration or use the excess power to recharge the reservoirs at its
pumped-storage plants (if it has any). Otherwise, the utility may have
to sell the excess power on the spot market at a loss. Because utilities
cannot depend on wind power being available during peak-demand
periods, they typically have had to bring on-line gas turbinebased
peaking plants at those times. Now, however, some may have another
option for filling the gap: dispatching both wind farms and photovol-
taic power plants. Such a combination may prove a less expensive
way to keep the lights on.
The average production of a typical wind farm has a very different
profile than its hourly generation. An examination of hourly genera-
tion makes clear that wind production is much more erratic than one
might expect. Though a wind turbine typically runs 60% to 80% of
the time, it typically runs at 100% capacity only 10% of the time.
This intermittent characteristic of wind generation can weaken the
stability of a grid. A good rule of thumb is that if the rated capacity
of a wind farm exceeds 2% of the fault duty at its point of grid
connection, measures should be taken to minimize the impact of dis-
patching the farm on the grids power quality. In such cases, dynamic
compensation is usually the preferred measure.
Historically, utilities have been able to integrate wind power up to
20% of their portfolios total generating capacity. More than that can
lead to stability problems on the transmission lines. The 20% figure
is just a rough estimate, however, because utilities with larger hy-
dro capacity can accommodate much more. For example, hydro-rich
Denmark successfully integrates 60% wind into its grid.
Furthermore, due to winds intermittent nature, utilities must re-
serve the full capacity of a wind farm on the transmission system, al-
though they can only reasonably expect it to have a capacity factor of
30% to 40%. This situation may lead to lost revenues from transmis-
sion capacity sales. How much wind energy a particular utility can
handle depends on a number of operational factors, including: the
amount of hydro generation, fast-starting generation, and spinning
reserve available; the minimum loading and loading rates of fossil-
fuel plants on the system; and the systems load shape.
Low rider
An unresolved issue in the area of wind integration is how to meet
FERCs new Order 661A, which requires wind farms to remain on-
line during system disturbances in which system voltages drop to
zero volts. This requirement is much more stringent than that of Or-
der 661, which required a low-voltage ride-through of 0.625 seconds.
Stated another way, Order 661 required a wind farm to demonstrate
its ability to remain on-line for 0.625 seconds after the system volt-
age dropped to 15% of normal due to a system disturbance. This
requirement ensured that the wind farm would be available to support
the system when there was a normally cleared fault on a single ele-
ment, which typically took four to eight cycles.
Order 661A recognizes that a fault occurring near a wind farm
could cause the voltage at the point of interconnection to fall to zero
during clearing, and requires wind farms to remain on-line during
that time. Because clearing a fault normally takes four to eight cycles,
wind plants now are required to remain on-line for nine cycles, or
0.150 seconds, at zero volts.
Though SVCs and inverter-based VAR support schemes could be
developed to meet the low-voltage ride-through requirement of Or-
der 661, the zero-voltage ride-through requirement of Order 661A is
problematic for those wind turbines that do not use inverters in each
nacelle. The solution may require the use of energy storage devices
such as ultra-capacitors.

WATER TREATMENT
Forgotten water:
Stator cooling water chemistry
Stator cooling water treatment is often ignoreduntil the generator fails.
Proper treatment and monitoring is essential to keeping the copper in
your stators, where it belongs.
By David G. Daniels, M&M Engineering
E
ven utilities that are very diligent about
treating and monitoring their boiler wa-
ter, demineralized water makeup, and
cooling water may know little about treating
one of the most critical water systems in the
plant: stator cooling water.
Stator cooling water is contained in a
closed loop system that cools the copper
stator bars in water-cooled generators. The
holes though which the water flows are nar-
row. Unimpeded flow through all stator bar
openings is critical to operation of the gen-
erator. Overheating of stator bars can result
in reduced generating capacity or even cata-
strophic failure of the generator.
Stator cooling systems contain only de-
ionized water. The cooling loop removes
heat from the stator coolers and conveys it
away through heat exchangers. The water
is continuously passed through a mixed bed
polisher that removes any soluble ionic con-
taminants that enter the water. The stator ion
exchange resins often also act as a filter for
particulates in the water, though some sys-
tems have a separate filter. The ion exchange
resin will eventually become exhausted, but
in many systems, it is common for the pres-
sure differential across the resin bed (created
by accumulated particulates) to require that
the resins be replaced before the ion ex-
change capacity is reached.
Copper contamination
The stator cooling water systems heat trans-
fer surfaces are typically copper, though
some are stainless steel. The chemistry of
copper in oxidizing and reducing conditions
has been the subject of a great deal of recent
research. One area of intense focus has been
copper corrosion in feedwater systems and
corrosion product transport into the boiler
and on to the HP turbine. Some of the gener-
al metallurgical principles learned in study-
ing copper in feedwater systems can also be
applied to stator cooling systems. As with
copper in feedwater systems, we know that
dissolved oxygen and pH play a major role in
determining the corrosion product formation
rate and transportation rate through the stator
cooling system.
It is important to remember that the major
cause of problems in stator cooling systems
has not been corrosion per se but, rather, de-
posit accumulation in critical areas. These
deposits are copper oxides released from
one area of the stator coolers and deposited
in another. The amount of dissolved oxygen
in the system, and particularly variations in
that oxygen concentration, determines when
copper oxides are released.
Copper forms cuprous oxide (Cu
2
O) un-
der reducing (low-oxygen) conditions and
cupric oxide (CuO) when dissolved oxygen
is high. Either of these oxides can be stable
and create a passive oxide layer on the chan-
nels in the stator bars. A slightly alkaline pH
increases the stability of the oxide layer.
Study your options
The recommended treatment regimes for
stator cooling water can be categorized by
their levels of dissolved oxygen and pH. Of
the four options illustrated in Figure 1, three
are generally recommended by treatment
experts. Each of the recommended options
can be found in operating power plants, and
each has pros and cons that must be balanced
against the particular needs of a plant and its
equipment operating history.
Low-O
2
, neutral pH option. A thin lay-
er of passive cuprous oxide forms in a low
dissolved oxygen and neutral pH regime.
This treatment option is found in about
50% of the stator cooling systems in the
power industry. The water is fully oxygen-
ated when the system is first filled. As the
water circulates, it reacts with the copper
in the system, the oxygen is consumed, and

the dissolved oxygen gradually approach-
es zero. The dissolved oxygen is likely to
remain at <10 ppb as long as no water is
added to the system. Neither oxygen scav-
engers nor reducing agents are commonly
added to stator cooling systems. The trick in
this treatment regime is keeping dissolved
oxygen out.
The effect of transient oxygen spikes is
most profound on lowdissolved oxygen and
neutral pH systems. The corrosion or oxida-
tion rate of copper in a system containing
400 ppb of dissolved oxygen is more than
five times its rate at low levels of oxygen un-
der neutral conditions.
Every time makeup water is added to the
stator system, it receives a little shot of dis-
solved oxygen. If, due to leaks in the stator
cooling water system, makeup rates are sig-
nificant, the stator cooling water can swing
back and forth between low- and high-oxy-
gen conditions. These transient conditions
release oxides into the system.
Air ingress can also cause significant in-
creases in the systems dissolved oxygen.
Putting a nitrogen cap on the stator cooling
water head tank can minimize air in-leakage.
Carbon dioxide can enter the system via
the makeup water or along with the air. As
carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water, it
drops the pH to acidic levels, increasing the
corrosion rate of copper. Carbon dioxide can
form bicarbonate and carbonate in the water
and exhaust the mixed bed polisher. If the
polisher is not changed when it is exhausted,
the released carbonate can form insoluble
copper carbonate in the stator.
To prevent dissolved oxygen contami-
nation resulting from additions of makeup
water, some utilities have turned to oxygen
removal systems. The Tarong Power Sta-
tion in Queensland, Australia, uses a series
of three gas transfer membranes to remove
dissolved oxygen from any makeup water
added to its stator cooling system. The sys-
tem, which uses only nitrogen purge gas to
sweep out the oxygen that permeates the
membrane, is capable of reducing the dis-
solved oxygen of the makeup water to about
3 ppb.
Low-O
2
, higher pH option. Increasing
the pH of the stator water to 89 significantly
reduces the corrosive response during oxy-
gen transitions (Figure 2). The most direct
method for increasing pH is to add controlled
amounts of sodium hydroxide to the water.
Initially, the sodium will be exchanged with
hydrogen on the cation resin of the mixed
bed polisher, neutralizing the caustic. If
caustic continues to be added, eventually, so-
dium leakage from the resins will allow the
water to maintain an alkaline pH.
Another treatment method is to add a
sodium exchange polisher on a side stream
and control the amount of water that passes
through the sodium exchanger to achieve the
desired pH. Some plants have even replaced
the mixed bed polisher with all strong base
anion resins. However, this polisher will no
longer remove soluble copper. Raising the
pH also makes it easier to measure the pH of
water in the system.

ing a major turbine outage, stator water can

become oxygenated. In a number of cases,
deterioration of the stator cooling system oc-
curred shortly after the unit came back on-
line from an extended outage.
High-O
2
, neutral pH option. The
other treatment alternative is to maintain a
highdissolved oxygen level in the cooling
water at all times. It is estimated that 40%
of water-based stator cooling systems oper-
ate with highdissolved oxygen and neutral
water chemistry. In this treatment regime,
CuO is formed on the copper. It will tightly
adhere to the surface and create a passive
layer on the metal. This layer tends to be
thicker than the Cu
2
O formed under low-
oxygen conditions.
Because the dissolved oxygen will be de-
pleted by its reaction with copper, at least
initially, you may need to add air to the sys-
tem to maintain sufficient dissolved oxygen
in the system.
This chemical treatment is impervious to
additions of dissolved oxygen in the feed-
water when it is operating continuously
under high (>2 ppm) levels of dissolved oxy-
gen. However, it may still be susceptible to
low-pH corrosion from carbon dioxide and
carbonates if these are not removed by the
mixed bed polisher.
If there is a hydrogen leak into the stator
cooling water system, the hydrogen can re-
place the dissolved oxygen and create low
dissolved oxygen transients in the system,
causing oxides to be released.
High-O
2
, high-pH option. Operating
with high dissolved oxygen and an elevated
pH is not recommended because it increases
the likelihood of clip corrosion.
Monitoring stator water
Monitoring the health of stator water systems
is more about looking at a variety of related
temperatures and pressures than collecting
grab samples and running them for pH or
dissolved oxygen. Water temperature is one
example: An increase in stator cooling water
temperature puts the cooling water system at
higher risk for plugging.
Monitoring the makeup water usage in a
stator cooling system is also important. If
the system is operating under a lowdis-
solved oxygen regime, an increase in make-
up water may signal a potential problem
from oxide accumulations. Monitoring gas
flow rates from the stator cooling water
head tank is one way to detect hydrogen
leaks that can deplete dissolved oxygen in
the water, if you are using the high-oxygen
regime.
Conductivity of the water and pressure
drop across the polisher are critical monitor-
ing parameters and should be monitored con-
tinuously with carefully selected setpoints.
The frequency with which the filter needs to
be changed, due to particulate plugging, is
an indication of corrosive conditions in the
system. The resins themselves can be tested
to determine the amount and nature of the
copper that is being transported through the
system.
Generators should also be equipped with
flow and pressure differential metering of
the cooling water system across the genera-
tor. These parameters can also provide an
indication of fouling if they are monitored
regularly and trended.
On-line monitoring for dissolved oxygen
is recommended if the plant will be operat-
ing under a low-oxygen regime. Grab sam-
pling is not usually recommended for these
systems due to the amount of water required
to flush out sample lines before one can be
sure of getting an accurate sample. This wa-
ter is then replaced with oxygenated water,
thus changing the analysis.

RETROSPECTIVE
This month in POWER
During this 125th anniversary year, Ret-
rospective has surveyed the evolution
of the power industry as chronicled in
POWER. The magazines original focus in
the 1880s was to fill the fledgling indus-
trys technical information vacuum and
share common operating experiences.
Our goals today are remarkably similar, as
technology continues to change and oper-
ators continue to learn from each other.
This final issue of POWER for 2007 in-
cludes our annual industry Buyers Guide,
which will find a home on your desk if you
are involved in equipment purchase deci-
sions. However, if you were contemplat-
ing an equipment purchase at the close
of the 19th century, your only source of
information was either local salesmen or
the ads found in the back of POWER. En-
joy our recreation of an early Buyers
Guide, composed of advertisements that
ran in the mid-1880s.
With the ability to achieve 25 percent load in 2 minutes and full load in 8, Wrtsil
Technology makes every minute count. It also provides high operating flexibility,
excellent load following, unlimited starts and stops and the highest simple cycle
efficiency in the industry. Today, with over 36,000 MW installed, Wrtsil is
making a difference for customers around the globe. Get to know the difference
we can make for you.

TO POWER YOUR BUSINESS
Terex unveils super-quiet generator
Terex has launched a new portable generator that combines
ease of operation with flexible power output in three-phase
or single-phase voltages. The T360 Super Quiet Generator
is powered by a heavy-duty, 426-hp Cummins diesel engine
and offers Tier 3 compliance to meet the latest environmen-
tal standards. The Cummins engine offers reduced emissions
and is electronically controlled to provide frequency regula-
tion accurate to 0.25% for sensitive electronics.
The T360 offers 360-kVA or 288-kW of prime electrical
output to give operators the flexibility to power loads such
as large tower cranes and pumps or to provide temporary
power during electrical substation maintenance. The units
three-phase voltages include 208V/220V/240V/440V/480V;
its single-phase voltages are 120V and 240V. The fuel ca-
pacity of the T360 offers operators 24 hours of continuous
operation on one tank of fuel.
All Terex generators share a common user interface for
ease of use, including a simple, flexible Murphy Cascade
controller and large, easy-to-read analog gauges to monitor
electrical loads and engine performance. (www.terex.com)
Generator self-test verifier scores an A
Transtar Products has introduced the next generation of its popular
Generator Self-test Verifier (GSV). The product is designed to evalu-
ate and report results of the regular exercise process undergone by
emergency power generators.
The original GSV, introduced in 2004, monitored and verified that
emergency generators had successfully completed their regular exer-
cise cycle. The GSV determined whether the generator generated the
proper voltage, within a 10% tolerance, and continued to operate
for a minimum of 2 minutes. The new model, the GSV300, improves
upon its predecessor in several important ways. The GSV300 fea-
tures an LCD display that provides details about critical system
tests such as exercise failure, generator start failure, runaway (gen-
erator does not shut off properly when power returns), as well as
reminders to replace the battery and change the oil.
The GSV300 also provides information on voltage and frequency while the generator is
running. Information on total run time, countdown to the next exercise cycle, and the number
of good and bad runs is also provided. The GSV300 includes four alarm outputs for interfacing with
security systems. The GSV300 is field programmable and will work on all generators and all voltages.

Endure the heat
with new thermoset composite
The power generation industry relies on high-temperature pre-
pregs that can endure extreme heat and mechanical conditions.
Their physical properties include resilience at elevated tempera-
tures; tensile, compressive, shear, and flexural strength; creep re-
sistance; abrasion resistance; and electrical insulation properties.
Norplex-Micarta, a leader in high-performance thermoset com-
posites, has released NP511B, a prepreg thermoset composite
material used for slot cell insulation, steel coating, and other
high-temperature applications. NP511B can be molded in conjunc-
tion with abrasion-resistant substrates such as Kevlar or Nomex
to reduce or eliminate surface wear damage to copper and steel
components in generators. The resulting custom composite offers
long life in wear applications without risking damage to sensitive
equipment due to abrasion-generated dust particles.
NP511B is composed of an electrical-grade epoxy resin com-
bined with a woven glass substrate. Its nonbrominated resin
system offers high mechanical strength at temperatures up
to 170C. When cured properly, NP511B retains half of its room
temperature flexural strength at temperatures up to 150C. (www

Hold your gas with leak-free valves
Co-ax valves PowerTube technology, built into each of its MK
series valves, gives bubble-tight positive shutoff and is ideal for
applications where leaks cannot be tolerated or where leak-test-
ing is a prerequisite. Integral actuators help make the MK series
coaxial valve a compact, low-profile alternative to conventional
solenoid valves for helium and many other gases. Actuation is a
fast 25 milliseconds, depending on size.
The co-ax MK 10 is available as a normally closed or normally
open valve and, because the valve is engineered to accommo-
date pressure imbalances in either direction, no check valves are
required. This feature further reduces process complexity, simpli-
fies test stand design and maintenance, and reduces the initial
cost of OEM design and manufacture. (www.coaxvalves.com)
Low-voltage switchgear cuts lifecycle costs
Cost- and safety-conscious plant managers, contractors, and consultants dealing with critical power applica-
tions will welcome GE Consumer & Industrials new Entellisys 4.0 low-voltage switchgear. Most of the upgrades
are software-based to help reduce costs, shorten schedules, and increase reliability throughout the process of
designing, installing, maintaining, and operating low-voltage power distribution switchgear.
New features include Entellisys 4.0s new High Resistant Ground Fault (HRGF), which identifies the location
of the feeder breaker circuit where the ground fault exists with no added
hardware. Ground Fault Priority Tripping, another new feature, is also avail-
able. This feature is helpful if a second HRGF ground fault occurs before the
first one is fixed. In that case, the system will trip the feeder that has the
fault based on user-determined load prioritization.
The upgrade also offers advanced protection modes (known as zone-based
protection) that include bus differential, dynamic zone-selective interlock-
ing and multisource ground fault protection. This protection enables detec-
tion (as fast as 25 ms) of arcing faults in the equipment while maintaining
selectivity.
The systems streamlined architecture minimizes wiring and shipping split
terminations by reducing the amount of wiring in equipment, in some cases
up to 70%, according to GE. Start-up is more effective because the remote
communication integration process was streamlined to use one interface for
the entire lineup. Entellisys 4.0 also converts all metering values to amps
and volts in IEEE floating point format, so no scaling is required.
An industry first, Entellisys 4.0s waveform capture records the current
and voltage waveforms for every circuit breaker when any circuit breaker
is opened or closed. Entellisys 4.0 will now issue an alarm and/or trigger a
waveform capture whenever any of the current for a particular load is above
the selected setpoint level and delay. (www.geconsumerproducts.com)
Cable-Max system easily pulls cables in conduit
Arnco Corp. now offers the Cable-Max light-duty cable-pulling system for underfloor cable
installations. Easily interchangeable accessories and pulling grips allow the Cable-Max to
feed cable through conduit more easily.
Cable-Max uses flexible Polykat rod, the strongest fiberglass rod, compared with other
pulling systems. The Cable-Max rod has an 80% fiberglass core (vs. 50% in other rods on
the market). The guide head-mounted on the front of the rod easily slips past all cables in
the channel and prevents the rod from snagging on any obstacles.
Cable-Max has a lightweight and durable aluminum 18-inch cage that holds up to 260
feet of 3/16-inch rod. A light, adjustable drag brake precisely controls the Polykat rod
payout. Both ends of the rod have M5 threads, making it possible to work in both direc-
tions. (www.arncocorp.com)

LEGAL & REGULATORY COMMENTARY
P
OWER readers today face severe problems in the electric-
ity supply business. But a much bigger problem will soon
burst on the scene: the peaking of world oil production.
Experts have forecast peaking since shortly after the first U.S.
well began production in 1859, and many subsequent forecasts
of peaking have proven incorrect.
Oil reserves dip
But oil is a finite and rapidly depleting resource. There is no
question that world oil production will peak at some time. In
2005, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted that 54
of the worlds 65 most important oil-producing countries were
past peak production and in decline. The academy also observed
that the rate of adding new reserves worldwide was less than a
third of the rate of world consumption. Others believe in a much
higher ratio.
The timing of maximum world oil production is uncertain,
largely because of poor and biased data, so forecasts have var-
ied widely. Recently, a number of highly qualified professionals
have concluded that the world seems to be on an oil production
plateau, with declines waiting in the near future. Included in
this group are industry stalwarts such as Henry Groppe, T. Boone
Pickens, and Matt Simmons. Ken Deffeyes, retired Princeton ge-
ologist, believes that peaking began at the end of 2005. The
competent and outspoken Sadad al Husseni, retired executive
vice president of Saudi Aramco, recently had the courage to make
the same point. His knowledge base may be better than that of
any other oilman.
Why is the issue flying below the public radar? Partly its be-
cause many economists believe that as the price of a commodity
increases, more supply will come to the market. That theory has
worked for minerals. But oil geology is fundamentally different.
Furthermore, the experience of the past five years belies eco-
nomic doctrine.
Industry silence
Influential optimists, including ExxonMobil, Cambridge Energy
Research Associates, and the DOEs Energy Information Admin-
istration, have assured us that there is no cause for immediate
concern. A major oil company has very serious problems in
speaking up about peak oil, because it would simultaneously
have to outline a new business plan in order to avoid a stock
market drubbing. Nevertheless, in a guarded manner, the oil
majors warned of serious trouble brewing in a recent National
Petroleum Council study.
For decades, world oil production has grown in step with world
GDP growth. Oil is the lifeblood of modern societies; oil prod-
ucts fuel almost everything that moves. Think of the difficulties
of building new electric power infrastructure without the ready
availability of liquid fuels, let alone at prices many times higher
than todays.
My recent analysis of the problemMitigation of Maximum
World Oil Production: Shortage Scenarios (to be published in
Energy Policy, Elsevier)considered a worldwide crash program
in liquid fuel efficiency and substitute liquids from coal, oil
sands, shale, and natural gas. It concluded that, after 20 years
of effort, some 25 to 35 million barrels of savings and substi-
tute liquids might accrue. But if world oil production decline
rates were a modest 2% per year, the world would still be short
tens of millions of barrels of oil per day. If, as some believe,
a 5% decline rate were to occur, even more severe economic
havoc is likely. And what if oil exporters decide to withhold de-
velopment of their oil supplies in their own national interest?
As peaking is approached, liquid fuel prices and price vola-
tility clearly will increase dramatically. Thats happening now.
However, because there can be other explanations for the cur-
rent circumstances, current circumstances alone are not a de-
pendable indicator. We will likely only recognize peaking in the
rearview mirror.
Addressing inevitable change
Dealing with a peak in world oil production will be extremely
complex, involve trillions of dollars, and require decades of in-
tense effort under the best of conditions.
A framework for planning the mitigation of oil shortages was
recently developed and presented in the Hirsch report. To es-
timate potential economic impacts, the potential relationship
between percentage decline in world oil supply and percentage
decline in world GDP was estimated to be roughly 1:1, meaning
that a 1% decline in world oil supply would create a 1% reduc-
tion in world GDP. Even recognizing the fact that precision is
impossible in such matters, it is sobering to contemplate the
impact of world oil shortages growing 2% to 5% per year over
a long period.
Technologies are ready to mitigate peak oil, such as coal liq-
uefaction, enhanced oil recovery, and gas-to-liquids, to name a
few. They will be necessary because the fleets of liquid-fueled
vehicles and machinery worldwide have lifetimes measured in
decades, and they cannot be quickly replaced under the best
of conditions. First, the public will have to become more aware
of the problem; second, we will have to replace our current,
cumbersome method of decision-makingworldwide; and third,
major commitments will have to be made and followed through
on. The tasks ahead will be daunting; there will also be remark-
able opportunities to contribute and profit.
