WRTSIL COMBINED HEAT, COOLING AND POWER MAKES EVERY DROP COUNT
CHP plants, where waste heat is used for heating purposes, have been built since the end of the 19th century, in Europe as well as in North America. Similarly, district heating systems are a well established infrastructure technology. However, for warmer countries with a short yearly demand of heat and very high summer temperatures, chilling generation is more difficult. The prime objective with the Wrtsil concept is to save primary fuel and to use it as efficiently as possible, for the sake of the environment and the plants economy. When generating electric power, a substantial amount of chilling can be generated from the exhaust gas and engine cooling waste energy by applying absorption chiller technology. Wrtsil has therefore

designed its cogeneration chilling plants in such a way that the demands for power and chilling can be met optimally. AMBIENT INFLUENCES Both electric power and chilling consumption is dependent on seasonal and daily fluctuations, and the cogeneration plant has to follow the load accordingly. These variations can be very big, with ambient temperatures reaching 50C during summer afternoons, and energy plants must be designed to operate in such extreme conditions. Similarly, there are fluctuations in electrical power consumption. Today, 70% of the electricity produced in the Middle East is used for compressor chiller drives.

PREVAILING TECHNOLOGY
The total efficiency of the prevailing technology serving individual electrically driven air conditioning (AC) units or rooftop AC installations is very poor. Residential HVAC Traditionally, chilling has been generated by compressor technology which shows a high coefficient of performance (COP), meaning the output energy (chilled water) divided by the input energy (electricity). Thus the COP is a unitfree number between 16, depending on the design and the use of prevailing technology. Furthermore, the industry frequently expresses chilling power in tons of refrigeration, TR (1TR=3.52kWch). Depending on ambient temperature, a small residential ACunit will generate 12 kWe/TR. Condominium HVAC For rooftop installations on bigger buildings, combining a compressor driven chilling plant with a local cooling radiator, are commonly used. Such plants will have a COP of up to 6 and a production factor below 1 kWe/TR. However, all chilling plants are dependent on the ambient air temperature for the cooling radiator. The paradox is that the higher the ambient temperature is, the lower the plant efficiency becomes. Absorption chillers can recover waste heat from various sources and convert heat energy into chilling without any electric power for the compressor. When steam is used as the driving medium, a COP of 1.3 is achievable, while for hot water the COP is 0.8. District Cooling Systems In some cities a pipe network of district cooling has been established in order to provide blocks and special facilities with chilling. Plants generating district chilling combine free cooling, compressor systems and absorption chillers, utilizing primary fuels.

Case: Typical variation curves for a two engine trigeneration plant supplying electricity, heat and chilled water according to the customers needs. Heat from the engines is utilized for heating during the winter period, and as a heat source for chillers during the summer. Thus, the plants heat recovery is efficiently used throughout the entire year.

WRTSIL DISTRICT COOLING AND POWER IS THE SMARTEST CHILL FOR THE HOTTEST SPOTS
The Wrtsil DCAP (District Cooling and Power) system has been developed for very hot areas where no heat is required, only power and chilled water for AC. These systems can be designed for 50000 TR. Flexibility in trigeneration and DCAP can be further improved by using cold water storages, and also by using the topping-up control capacity offered by compressor chillers. The running philosophy and control strategy are significant factors and should be properly evaluated. The optimal solution is always based on the right design and sizing. The entire chilled water demand does not need to be covered solely by absorption chillers. Using electrically driven chillers and/or chilled water storage tanks to cover peaks minimizes the total investment cost of the chiller capacity. The District Cooling and Power (DCAP) system has been developed by Wrtsil, not only as an energy supply plant, but also for providing complete energy deliveries to newly developed cities. In such places it is important to reduce the total amount of fossil energy, thereby reducing the environmental impact. The plant can provide both the required electricity and chilling, even during the hottest part of the year. The chilling peaks can be covered by a cold water storage tank, avoiding additional engines and compressor facilities. The plant is designed so that all waste heat available when the engines feed electricity to the grid, is used for chilling. If the chilled water cannot be utilized, the plant can run in pure electricity mode or charge the storage tanks. The absorption chillers will cover the baseload demand; when this supply is not big enough storage tank and compressor chillers will cover the balance.

DCAP REDUCES PRIMARY FUEL USAGE BY TWO THIRDS The DCAP plant can obtain 0.7 kWe/ TR without, and 0.6 kWe/TR with, a storage tank. Compared to a conventional centralized power plant, or electrically driven compressor chilling plants installed on rooftops, this represents primary fuel savings of more than 60%.

on running. Gas power plants in particular, are virtually immune to ageing. The engines will run at optimum performance from overhaul to overhaul. With 64,000 actual running hours before the first major overhaul, Wrtsil gas engines are tougher than most. The robust design of the plant also ensures unrivalled reliability in earthquake-sensitive areas. CLEAN, LEAN AND QUIET A Wrtsil power plant situated in the midst of a densely populated area or on environmentally vulnerable ground is a considerate and responsible neighbor: clean, lean and quiet. Due to the unbeatable electrical efficiency throughout the load range, the CO2 emissions are very low. Combined heat and power solutions minimize emissions and will easily comply with the most stringent regulations. In cogeneration and trigeneration, almost no cooling of the engines is needed as the heat from the process is taken into profitable use. Co- and trigeneration are closed processes with the capability to turn cost into profit.
