First Solar wins power purchase agreement
First Solar, Inc. and New Mexico State Land Commissioner Ray Powell announced that First Solar, Inc. has been granted a power purchase agreement (PPA) from the New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission, clearing the way for First Solar to begin construction on the state's largest solar power plant to be located on State Trust Land in Luna County.
units. Technips operating centre in Lyon, France, together with the Groups hydrogen technology centre located in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands will fulfill the contract, which is scheduled to be completed in early 2014. The Ajos BtL project is supported by the European Union NER300 funding program for innovative renewable energy technologies. This project will be an industrial first and will reinforce Technips current leading position on a new generation of biofuels projects. Biomass-toliquid or BTL is a new generation biofuel, consisting of a multi-step process to produce liquid
biofuels from biomass. Main technological steps are gasification, syngas cleaning and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Biomass to Liquid (BtL) or BMtL is a multi-step process which produces liquid biofuels from biomass. The process uses the whole plant to improve the carbondioxide balance and increase yield. The FischerTropsch process [Left] is used to produce synfuels from gasified biomass. Carbonaceous material is gasified then processed to make purified syngas. The FischerTropsch polymerises syngas into full diesel-range hydrocarbons. While biodiesel and bio-ethanol production so far only use parts of a plant, i.e. oil, sugar, starch or cellulose, the new approach to BtL production can gasify and utilise the entire plant.

Symphony Plus Controls installed in 25,000MWs worth of power plants since its launch in 2011
in the two years since its launch Symphony Plus control solutions won orders for new power plants which generate more than 25,000MW of electricity, equivalent to the installed capacity of countries the size of the Netherlands, Malaysia or Egypt. In addition, many plants have upgraded their existing systems with new Symphony Plus solution to meet their evolving needs. This new information has been released by Symphonys manufacturer, ABB, the leading power and automation technology group. The market response to Symphony Plus since its introduction has been extremely encouraging, Massimo Danieli, head of ABBs Power Generation business, a part of the companys Power Systems division, tells WIP. Reaching this important milestone in such a short time is a reinforcement of the confidence that customers have in Symphony Plus and we remain committed to safeguarding their investments. Some recent Symphony Plus project awards include the 700 MW Xiaoting supercritical coal-fired power plant in China, the Samra thermal power plant, Jordans largest power plant with a generating capacity of 885 MW, and Enels 590 MW Grazia Deledda Sulcis power plant in Italy. Other notable projects include Dong Energys 250 MW Avedore Unit 1 in Denmark and the 125 MW Arlington Valley solar project in Arizona, which is one of the largest photovoltaic power plants in the US, and two units of the Vinh Son hydropower plant in Vietnam. ABB launched its Symphony Plus distributed control system (DCS) in April 2011 as its latest generation in the Harmony, Melody series. With more than 6,500 systems installed over more than three decades two thirds of these being in the power and water sectors - the Symphony family represents one of the largest installed bases of distributed control systems (DCS) in the world. Symphony Plus has been designed to meet a wide range of plant configurations and its flexibility and scalability enables it to serve small and server-less applications as well as large multi-system, multi-server architectures. It supports the seamless integration of field devices, process and turbine automation systems, electrical and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) solutions as well as business and maintenance systems, providing a secure and reliable control environment. The most recent additions to the Symphony Plus portfolio are new features and functionalities for geographically distributed applications like photovoltaic plants, hydropower stations and water distribution networks. The new capabilities address the challenge of incorporating large numbers of small modular units such as solar trackers, remote terminal units or pipeline sensors into a common operations hierarchy, while providing better visibility and control of the entire plant or network. Symphony Plus is said to be a reaffirmation of ABBs commitment to continue investing in this platform based on an evolution without obsolence approach of introducing new technology with enhanced benefits while protecting the long-term investment of customers by ensuring full compatibility with existing installations. This helps customers to balance objectives like asset availability, operational reliability and production efficiency with asset life extension, carbon reduction and regulatory compliance.

Serbia to get new biomass fuelled cogen plant
The northern Serbian town of Senta is the projected location of a biomass-fired cogeneration plant designed to provide a district energy system.It will be built in two phases. The first phase, which is valued at 15.2m will produce 8.4 MW of heat and 4.9 MW of electricity, with a second phase scheduled to be completed in 2015-16. The plant will require 35,000 tonnes of biomass a year, which will be supplied by farmers in neighbouring municipalities
for bringing large amounts of power across long distances, with minimal losses, and is also used for integrating renewables and for offshore connections. Alstom Grid and KEPCO have been working together since 1997 on two important HVDC reference projects in Korea. Alstom provided the original 300 MW HVDC bipole link for the direct point-to-point submarine interconnection linking South Koreas Jeju
Island across 101 kilometres with the mainland in the late 1990s. In 2009, Alstom was then awarded a second contract to supply the new converter stations for the 400 MW high voltage direct current (HVDC) bipole scheme. This joint venture will allow Alstom to increase its HVDC technical footprint in Asia and KEPCO to benefit from Alstoms proven industrial expertise, Patrick Plas, Senior Vice President of Alstom Grid, tells WIP. We are very honoured to partner with the largest electric utility in South East Asia. Our success in HVDC projects in Korea has built common understanding and a shared feeling of confidence.

prices for most consumers in the country reduce opportunities for DPG technologies, which have become a costly alternative to grids. In fact, although DPG technologies reduce transmission costs and provide the benefit of local energy management and economies of scale, their startup costs are higher than that of centralised electricity production, further affecting adoption. The energy sector in Mexico has certain limitations in terms of private participation and foreign companies are allowed to operate in the country only through specific service contracts. As required by the Constitution, the entire electricity sector is federally owned, with Mexico - developing the Federal Electricity its renewable energy Commission (Comisin resources. Federal de Electricidad or CFE involved in directing and controlling the whole sector. Attempts to reform the sector have traditionally faced strong political and
social resistance in Mexico, where subsidies for residential consumers absorb substantial fiscal resources. The electricity sector in Mexico relies heavily on thermal sources (75% of total installed capacity), followed by hydropower generation (22%). Although exploitation of solar, wind, and biomass resources has a large potential, geothermal energy is the only renewable source (excluding hydropower) with a significant contribution to the energy mix (2% of total generation capacity). Expansion plans for the period 2006-2015 estimate the addition of some 14.8 GW of new generation capacity by the public sector, with a predominance of combined cycles.

report by bank Credit Suisse suggests that the wholesale price of electricity, the core of all our energy bills in the UK, would top those in Germany by 85% in 2016-17. Cerdit Suisse goes on to say that prices could be even higher in general for the next seven to 10 years. The cause of this rise is identified as the UK government's new tax on carbondioxide emitting power generation over the next seven years says Credit Suisse. Its analysts also regard the UKs infrastructure defiencies being at the heart of a failure to import enough power from the European mainland. Prices in the two countries had tracked one another for years, but they diverged in 2012 as Germany gave a welcome boost to the renewable energy generation sector by spending billions of Euros on subsidising the green sector. By Winter 2016/17 UK power prices will trade at an 85% premium to German equivalents, compared with a current 25% divergence, the Credit-Suisse figures predict. The UK Government brought in a mandatory tax on carbon emissions at 4.94 per tonne of CO2 earlier in 2013, adding to the carbon charges already in place under the European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). The two costs calculated together will rise to 30 per tonne in 2020, an expense which will significantly increase British power prices. German power prices have fallen on the back of the boom in solar and wind power but the government has now moved to rein in subsidies in recognition of the fact that the expansion may have come too fast. This, in turn, has raised concerns over profitability and problems with managing the flow of green energy. Credit Suisse suggests that the net effect between 2013 - 2023 will be to cap the growth of renewable capacity. The lack of substantial interconnection capacity with

he Edina Group of companies has specialised in onsite power generation for over 26 years. As the exclusive distributor for MWM in the UK and Ireland, a full complement of fuel sources are catered for in the Edina product range: diesel, natural gas, bio gas and synthetic gases. Edina offers quality design, supply, hire and full turnkey energy solutions. Expansion and diversification have been the cornerstone of the Edina success together with the vast knowledge and experience we have gained through meeting our customers needs, explains Tony Fenton, Joint Managing Director of Edina. To match evolving environmental and legislative requirements, Edina is developing fresh and innovative technologies with key partners. Edina aims to provide reliable and clean solutions to a world which is increasingly hungry for energy. Edina has an enviable track record in design, construction and long term operation of gas engines powered by all
types of gas, including that produced by waste water plants, and is a key mover in the development of renewable energy and sustainable energy to meet international requirements to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Recently, Anglian Water and Edina UK entered into a 5-year contract for the supply of gas-powered generating equipment manufactured by MWM GmbH of Mannheim Germany. A number of fully-containerised generating sets are being supplied over a five year period. Although initially manufactured in Germany, the actual containerisation of the gensets takes place in Edinas key manufacturing centre in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The total control of the design and manufacturing process enabled Edina to produce class-leading products to the highest quality standards, reported Tony Fenton. The first six gensets were delivered and installed by December 2010 and were fully operational in early 2011. This first order involved the design, build, installation and long term maintenance of 2 x TCG 2020(V16) and 4 x TCG 2016(V12) gensets to meet Anglian Waters commitment to the AMP 5 Biosolids programme. The choice of both these engine types was based on the highly-regarded and market leading qualities - namely,
their efficiency and durability in biogas operation. Another incentive was the through-life support package for which Edina is widely known. One of Edinas most renowned energy projects involved providing a MWM 1.56MWe TCG2020(V16) gas ignition generating set for the famous Cranfield University. The MWM genset was chosen by Cranfield for its enviable reputation for durability and for its exceptionally high availability at the lowest economic operating cost. The full turnkey package provided by Edina included not only the generating equipment but a new steam boiler, fully integrated control system and total civil construction. Cranfield now includes this new facility as part of the curriculum for its course based on the benefits of CHP. Cranfield University prides itself on its long-established association with providing key research into CHP, and has been linked to the 30MWe installation owned by the Manx Electricity Authority. The new facility provided by Edina currently gives students an important opportunity to carry out their studies on the actual campus.

cylinder output of 560 kW and is derived from the established 32/40 heavy fuel engine, which was the first MAN Diesel engine to be fitted with common rail fuel injection and has been undergoing successful field tests for a considerable time. One of the major product objectives with the 32/44CR was to fully exploit the benefits of common rail in both engine performance and engine construction. A fuel system which allows high injection pressures to be created independent of engine speed allows much closer adaptation of engine performance to a specific application than ever before, and also allows improvements in aspects of engine design, Dr. Ralf Marquard, Senior Vice President R&D Engineering at the MAN Diesel four-stroke business unit, explains. With the adoption of common rail technology on the 32/44CR we were able not only to achieve high specific power output but also market-leading fuel efficiency and extremely low exhaust emissions, including invisible exhaust gases over the entire load range. In addition to these aspects, the product objectives of the 32/44CR also emphasised high reliability and long maintenance intervals; ease of operation and maintenance; low lube oil consumption; improved engine design including new pipework and wiring
concepts; and, naturally, unrestricted heavy fuel oil capability. The basic difference between the 32/44CR engine and its 32/40 progenitor is a 10% increase in stroke. To achieve high specific output, low fuel consumption and low noxious emissions, the stroke dimension has been increased from 400 mm in the 32/40 engine to 440 mm in the 32/44CR, and the engine equipped with flexible and intelligent common rail fuel injection and a considerably more efficient turbocharger, says project leader Stephan Haas. He concludes: An increased compression ratio has made it possible to gain strong benefits in the NOx - particulates - fuel consumption trade-off.

DATA CENTRES
t the core of Ecuadors recent Telconet Data Center project are the the extremely high security measures taken to ensure a secure, uninterrupted power supply. The Telconet Cloud Center falls into the TIER IV category (capacity for 400 racks), implying a margin of error which is almost zero. It is the first TIER IV classified data centre in Latin America. HIMOINSA has provided a power system with HMW-810 T6 generation sets under 2N+1 configuration, involving the installation of 24 soundproofed units (12 generators in each centre) in a 20-inch container, with MTU engines for operation in parallel with load sharing. Given the demand for high-availability sites for companies to house their servers, Telconet Cloud Center is considering building two data centres: Telconet Cloud Center I, in Guayaquil (TIER IV category and capacity for 400 racks) and Telconet Cloud Center II in Quito (TIER III category and capacity for 360 racks). To provide an optimum emergency power supply in these facilities, measuring 1,000m2 and 900 m2 respectively, emergency generator sets had to be installed. The installation of 24 sound-proofed HIMOINSA HMW-810 T6 units enables parallel operation and ensures high security, uninterrupted power supply levels to the most important data centre
in Latin America. The facility features: * A 3 MVA transformer station; * A 200 KVa scalable UPS with 2N+1 configuration uninterruptible power supply; * Four 3X0.81 MVA gensets with an automatic start function, and 2N+1 configuration; * An uninterruptible power supply Rectifier unit + Batteries (2N). The HIMOINSA generator sets at this site ensure the continuity of supply, reducing the margin of error to zero in the event of a power failure in the main grid. The Telconet Data Center offers housing services (shared housing, hiring of closed cabinet space) and hosting services (virtual servers in a data center with advanced security, surveillance and

POWER SUPPLY
he Synch Lock product from Deep Sea Electronics is designed to synchronise the mains or utility supply with a generator supply and to hold it in synch for a chosen period of time until the fuses can be manually removed, to disconnect the mains power. Forward and backward synchronising with the mains or utility supply enables maintenance or service work to be carried out on substations or circuit breakers etc, without interrupting the supply. Recent in-depth testing of the product was carried out at two different locations in the UK. The first of these was DSEs own manufacturing facility in North Yorkshire which boasts a three-set synchronising & load sharing system which provides power to the factory in the event of a mains power failure. This live application was used to put the DSE7570 through its paces during a twoday testing program, where onsite engineers were able to simulate a wide range of different application requirements.
The second set of testing was performed onsite at a customer location in the UK and again took place over the course of two days. The testing, once again, was performed on a live system which took the DSE7570 through all aspects of its features and functions. Throughout both testing periods the DSE7570 performed outstandingly well with no issues, reports DSE. The DSE7570 is contained within a portable, hard-shell, plastic case, and is light enough to be hand-carried, making it easy to transport from site to site. This proven and reliable technology is ideal for the rental market where companies are often called upon to provide generator hire sets, or temporary sets, at short notice, and also allows them to carry out emergency repairs or maintenance work without interrupting the power supply. The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of complex features: Text based LCD display (supporting multiple languages). True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring. Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions. The Synch Lock module can be installed up to a distance of 200m away from the controller allowing for a high level of installation flexibility to suit multiple
JUNE 2013
applications where access may be awkward or restricted. Alterations can be made to selected operational sequences, timers and alarms making the DSE7570 truly flexible. The DSE7570 forms part of a larger family of Load Sharing and Synchronising modules which are designed and manufactured entirely by DSE at its UK facility in North Yorkshire and supplied throughout the world. Other modules in the DSE Load Sharing and Synchronising range include many features, for example: 32-set synchronising; Dead Bus Synchronising; and Multiple communication options including Ethernet Communications & DSEWebNet.

he Green Machine generates fuelfree, emission free power from low temperature waste heat. ElectraTherms Eastern European distributor, GB Consulting, commissioned the machine in February 2013 at the Brno biogas plant to generate additional power and increase energy efficiency on site. To date, the machine has maintained over 95% efficiency. The Green Machine has been added to an existing biogas power facility producing 900kWe. The two MWM internal combustion engines are equipped with an exhaust gas heat exchanger designed to combine both the heat available in the exhaust and the heat available in the jacket water into a single heat stream. The waste heat from the engines is used to heat the anaerobic digestion process, and excess heat not needed to sustain the anaerobic digestion process is used by the Green Machine to produce fossil-fuel free electricity 24/7. The anaerobic digestion process at this site uses a corn silage and manure slurry/mixture as the fuel source. The corn and manure are loaded into a selffeeding hopper. From the hopper, the resulting biomass is pumped to the
digester, where methane is produced through anaerobic digestion. ElectraTherm's Green Machine converts low temperature water flows into fuelfree, emission-free power. The Green Machine output range is up to 65kWe, based on temperatures and flows. The small footprint (6.5 x 8 x 7.25 ft or 2 x 2.5 x 2.2 m), skid-mounted design facilitates ease of installation. Additionally, the Green Machines control system is fully automated, allowing remote control, remote monitoring and off-site maintenance. The Green Machine is scalable to each heat source, allowing connection of multiple Green Machines to a single heat source if enough energy is provided. The Green Machine employs a robust design and the majority of machine components are readily available. ElectraTherms Green Machine uses a twin screw expander for its power block. The twin screw design is simple and robust. The operating speed of the Green Machine is low, and does not require a
gearbox. The twin screw can also run in a wet condition meaning the refrigerant does not have to be 100% superheated vapor. This is an advantage over traditional turbine-based expansion devices. Advantages include: Closed loop air cooled condensing option results in zero water consumption; Fully automated controls system with remote monitoring and operating capabilities via Internet connection; and NEMA 3R / IP 54 enclosure.

key feature of Mobil DTE 932 GT, says its manufacturer, is that the oil is designed to limit varnish formation in gas turbine power systems. During testing, Mobil DTE 932 GT was shown to deliver additional critical performance benefits such as high temperature performance, deposit control and excellent foam control and air release. Mobil DTE 932 GT meets or exceeds the standards set for General Electric (GE) frame 3,5,6,7 and 9 turbines. Varnish can have a highly detrimental effect on gas turbine operations Kirill Chervyakov, Industrial Marketing Advisor, ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants, tells WIP. "During gas turbine operation, varnish deposits can build up and stick to various interior surfaces and block openings and filters, which can reduce power output and reliability. Mobil DTE 932 GT offers the potential for greatly reduced varnish formation. In addition to Mobil DTE 932 GT, Mobil SHC Pegasus, the latest evolution in ExxonMobils range of Mobil Pegasus natural gas engine oils, has been approved for use in GE Waukesha APG 1000 engines. GE cited good results for engine
component wear and deposit control as well as fuel efficiency improvement. Mobil SHC Pegasus has the potential to reduce fuel consumption by up to 1.5% and increase oil drain intervals from four to eight times that of conventional gas engine oils. The fuel efficiency of Mobil SHC Pegasus says the manufacturer relates solely to the fluid performance when compared to ExxonMobil's standard SAE 40 natural gas engine oils. The technology used in Mobil SHC Pegasus demonstrated up to a 1.5% increase in fuel efficiency compared to Mobil Pegasus 1005 and 805 series when tested in standard natural gas engine applications under controlled conditions. Efficiency improvements will vary based on operating conditions. The energy efficiency claim for this product is based on test results on the use of the fluid conducted in accordance with all applicable industry standards and protocols, a company spokesman told WIP. Alongside its high quality lubricants, ExxonMobil offers its proprietary online oil analysis service, Signum Oil Analysis. Signum is said to enable operators to proactively monitor the condition of lubricants and address conditions which have the potential to lead to unscheduled downtime and increased costs. Mobil SHC Pegasus gas engine oil - the new gas turbine lubricant - is said to:

FUEL POLISHING
n fact this is not just a hyopthetical story. WASP PFS Ltd has recently supplied two fuel polishing systems to Finning, whose client is a major American bank located in Central London. The bank knew its facility would fail without power. A spokesman comments: We could not afford poor quality fuel or a back-up generator failure, and especially wanted to reduce the cost of removing, disposing and replacing contaminated fuel. Finnings client wanted complete continuity and asked them to recommend a reliable, high-quality fuel polishing manufacturer. The bank sought a reasonably priced customised unit installed with its tanks/generators to ensure they featured excellent fuel quality. Finning, a longstanding WASP customer, knew WASP would be able to provide the right solution, and recommended the company and its expertise. Fuel polishing was already known to the client because of its key relevance to the industry. As biodiesel is added to gas oil/fuel oil (EN590) fuel degrades quicker
and attracts water thus creating contamination, which is a huge challenge for back-up generators to cope with. As a result, contaminated fuel could cause the clients back-up generator to fail when run in an emergency situation (on-load for a reasonable duration). Most regular generator tests will not pick this issue up, unless the fuel has been laboratory tested as well. WASP suggested the simplest and most economical solution to good fuel housekeeping - to install a machine to maintain fuel quality in the form of a fuel polishing system. The client company laid out its technical requirements and WASP was able to match them. It set about the task of designing, developing & manufacturing two customised enclosed fuel polishing systems with variable speed pumps. These were manufactured to preserve the fuel in the back-up generator tank by removing particulates, bacterial content, biomass, sludge, water and other foreign matter. However, most importantly they focussed on the absolute filtration of particulates at 2 micron, and water removal. Finning installed the polishing systems on the clients site and WASP used its experience and expertise to assist in commissioning, as well as offering full training for the clients facilities team, showing them how to test and operate the units as well as utilise their BMS capabilities.
Once installed, these systems ensured the client had optimum fuel quality in their tanks. Moreover, via the integrated BMS communication system, the client was able to monitor the system remotely and could be certain of their fuel quality. This remote monitoring, tied into the simplicity of setup and operation, meant good fuel housekeeping will always be as simple as possible for the client. The patented technology employed in the WASP solution cost the client significantly less than the outlay for a replacement tank of fuel. Fuel polishing systems installed on back-up generators will protect the clients generator against fuel-related breakdowns and will improve its efficiency. This has the added advantage of reducing the clients carbon-footprint whilst ensuring a cost-savings each year; making the fuel polishing system the perfect solution for them. WIP

ET Solar Group Corp., a leading solar one-stop solution provider, has completed three photovoltaic plant contracts. The facilities have a combined capacity of 28MW for Tinmar-Ind S.A. one of Romania's largest electricity suppliers and traders. These three projects combined with 22MW completed for Tinmar in April 2013 bring ET Solar's cumulative total to 50MW in Romania. These three plants are located in Targu Carbunesti, Gorjcounty, and Simnicu de Sus, Dolj county. ET Solar is the sole PV module supplier, while ET Solutions AG, the Munich based subsidiary of ET Solar dedicated to turnkey EPC service, provides engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as construction financing. ET Solutions' Romanian branch will provide Operations & Maintenance service to Tinmar for all three plants. During a recent interview, Dennis She, President and CEO of ET Solar, told WIP: "The achievement of grid connection for these three photovoltaic plants is a result of seamless coordinated work among our team in Munich and Bucharest. It further
demonstrates that we are transferring ourselves to a global EPC company. We are committed to further growing our project solutions business to other emerging markets with both our existing and new customers on a win-win basis. " Augustin Oancea, CEO of Tinmar, added: "After completing the first three projects early this year with ET Solar, we are very happy to achieve another major victory. We are impressed by their professional engineering service, high quality project execution, and full dedication for on-time project delivery." In the next two years, Romania will install enough photovoltaic panels to provide 256 MW. A company called Renovation has a PV project in Giurgiu County, with an installed capacity of .993 MW and owns a factory which makes photovoltaic panels in Satu Mare. Another company in the PV sector is City Hall Floresti, which has a power plant with an installed capacity of .9 MW and Q Company with a project of .5MW. Transelectrica has already signed agreements for PV connections to the grid for a number of projected photovoltaic projects.
gy to promote gas in the power segment throughout Europe in general, but in Germany specifically," Rune Bjrnson, senior vice president responsible for Statoil's Natural Gas business unit, tells WIP. He concludes: "Germany is a key market for us and we are very satisfied to establish a long-term partnership with a major utility like Stadtwerke Dsseldorf. It illustrates Statoil's willingness to develop and enter into new commercial concepts in the gasto-power segment. This innovative deal creates value for our company."
