Mahajanga Power Station

1. Madagascar
Supplying baseload power efficiently
required a medium speed generator
set running on heavy fuel oil
optimising fuel costs.

CASE STUDIES
8

Broadcrown was chosen to supply,

install and commission an additional
generator set and associated
equipment with an electrical output
of 4MWe at Mahajanga power station
in Madagascar. The power station is
operated by Jirama, the Madagascar
electric utility, and will provide
essential baseload electricity to local
communities.

Significant advantages from a high

quality medium speed generator set

Broadcrown engineers selected the

Rolls-Royce B32:40L9 engine which
provided the optimum prime mover
for this application. The ninecylinder engine operates on heavy
fuel oil (HFO). Broadcrowns scope of
works included the balance of plant
equipment, fuel filtration, controls and
ventilation systems and partnered with
a local civils contractor to carry out
site works as required.

At Mahajanga, the client uses HFO as

the primary fuel source, which reduces
operational costs when compared to
traditional distillate fuels. Broadcrown
offered a medium speed unit capable
of successful operation on the less
refined HFO as high speed engines
are limited to operation on distillate
fuels only. The capital expenditure
required is significantly higher for
a medium speed product compared
with an equivalent power high speed
installation but this is more than
offset by the lower fuel costs and
higher availability of a medium speed
generator set.

position to advise clients impartially
on the optimum selection for their
projects.

amsterdam data centre

2. Netherlands
Critical power for a key European
data centre using 18 cylinder
Wartsila engines with rapid starting
air turbine motors.
Broadcrown were employed to supply
and install six 3.76MWe generator
sets at a key European fibre optic
connection hub in Amsterdam. This
data centre provides high reliability
and security of data storage to its
international customers.
The generator sets produced their
power at 10,000V 3 phases 50Hz and
were located in a plant room with
remote radiators. The sets, when
synchronised, provide a total of
22.8MWe of critical back up power.

Wartsila 18 cylinder engines

selected by Broadcrown
For this project the Broadcrown
engineers selected the Wartsila 18V200
prime movers. These 136 litre V18
engines have the feature of rapid
starting via single air turbine starter
motors. All sets are designed to
synchronise to each other on to the
10,000V busbar of the high voltage
switchboard. The engines are set up
to operate on diesel fuel fed from
bunded bulk storage fuel tanks located
adjacent to the plant room.

DOHA NORTH sewage treatment

3. Qatar
Critical back up power capable of
rapid start and synchronisation in
ambient temperatures up to 50C.

Broadcrown provided four specially

designed 2000kWe generator sets to
the Doha North Sewage Treatment
works which is the largest waste water
and sludge treatment project in the
Middle East. The treatment works,
operating at peak capacity, can treat
up to 439,000 cubic metres of waste
water per day and serves a population
of over 900,000.
A back up power supply in the event
of a mains failure is a critical aspect of
the overall system, as failure of power
supply to the process would make it
impossible to deal with the incoming
waste. This would lead to a major
incident at the works.

Full power even at very high ambient

temperatures
Broadcrowns four specially designed
2000kWe generator sets had to be
capable of operating in ambient
temperatures up to 50C. To achieve
this we located remote cooling systems
capable of dealing with very high
temperatures outdoors on a prepared
12m2 concrete plinth.
Broadcrown engineers paid particular
attention to the design of the
coolers ensuring they were sized to
accommodate maximum ambient
temperatures whilst maintaining the
required maximum coolant return
temperatures to the engines.
Generating at 3300V 3 phase 50Hz, the
sets are designed to rapidly start and
synchronise to each other within 60
seconds from the initial start signal.
Broadcrown also developed and
supplied the control suite including all
synchronising equipment. Built as a
six section panel the suite was shipped
with the generator sets for installation
in the nearby building control room.
A neutral earthing panel was also
included containing four contactors
and one common resistor section.

LONDON critical power

4. England
Critical back up power for financial
trading floors with stringent noise
control.

Broadcrowns design team designed

and installed three Broadcrown
1600kWe 11,000V 3ph 50Hz generator
sets into a very tightly spaced plant
room in Londons financial district.
The generator sets were located in a
high-rise corporate building, housing
large financial trading floors. Even
a short interruption of power to
the trading floor, shutting down its
operation, could have resulted in many
millions of pounds of lost revenue.
Back up power was critical.

30 years of Broadcrown experience

helped meet stringent noise
requirements.

At the same time, the design had to

comply with a stringent maximum
noise level of only 65dBA from outside
the building. The natural vibration
from the running equipment had also
to be isolated from the buildings main
structure, eliminating risk of structureborne noise travelling through the
floors of the building.

Due to the critical nature of the

supply, the client stipulated that no
part of the overall system should have
a potential single point of failure.
Therefore all auxiliary balance of plant
systems were designed with parallel
redundant back up capability.

Broadcrown designers adopted a room

within room approach by installing
an acoustic panelling system to all
internal walls and ceiling. To ensure
that noise was not transmitted
through the building structure, the
sets were mounted on a specialist
concrete floating floor supported by
rubber isolation mountings.

MORUPULE POWER STATION

5. Botswana
Black start power shipped as
containerised generator sets.

Broadcrown provided nine specially

designed containerised generator sets
each rated at 2000kWe generating
at 6,600V/3ph/50Hz to Botswana.
Botswanas energy capacity is
provided by thermal sources, mainly
coal-fired, with some small diesel
generators in rural areas. The bulk of
domestic electricity is generated by
the Morupule 600 MW coal-fired steam
turbine power station.
The sets were housed in Broadcrowns
CSC-plated enclosures ensuring that
they are treated as a standard ISO
container, for shipping purposes,
enjoying the benefit of minimal
shipping costs. Broadcrown also
provided the neutral earthing, and
synchronising control and monitoring
systems.

Special design for high start up

loads
Often, in the case of black start
applications, the initial start load of
the power plants process equipment is
significantly higher than the running
load. This is mainly due to the large
induction motors used to accelerate
the turbine rotors to firing speed.
Invariably these motors are energised
direct on line without any assisted
starting devices. Therefore it is
necessary to ensure the generator sets
selected are optimised for best in
class step load capability.
As an independent company,
Broadcrown has the benefit of
selecting the best engine and AC
generator configurations available
for the application from the many
manufacturers who supply us. The
better the generator sets performance
in this area, the fewer the number of
generator sets needed on site and the
lower the installed cost for the client.

Broadcrowns flexible and independent approach to

prime mover selection means you get the right product
for the right solution, every time.
Because Broadcrown is independent,
we can offer an extensive range of
generator set and equipment options
to meet with the most exacting
global project requirements. Our
generator sets can be powered by
high speed reciprocating engines,
medium speed reciprocating engines
or gas turbines, depending upon the
duty and fuel availability.

For global projects, the per unit prime

mover power output is generally
from 1MW and above with no upper
limit. As a general rule, reciprocating
engine generator set projects less than
3MWe are powered by high speed
prime movers except for projects with
continuous duty power requirements.
Between 3MWe and 20MWe generator
sets are more likely to be powered
by medium speed prime movers.
Gas Turbine prime movers cover the
complete power spectrum.

Other considerations for the

application of different prime movers
include, but are not limited to, duty
profile, fuel type, fuel availability,
efficiency/heat rate and heat recovery
requirements.

Efficient and cost-effective reciprocating engine

generator sets: high speed sets
Reciprocating engines can provide
cost effective and efficient power
generation solutions and may be
divided into two different types,
high speed and medium speed.

For applications with low operating

hours and at outputs below 3.2MW,
high speed engines are chosen for
their low installation cost, small
footprint and short installation and
manufacturing times.

On these two pages are extracts from

Broadcrowns high speed engine set
product offering. Please refer to our
50Hz and 60Hz generator set brochures

Durable and fuel efficient reciprocating engine

generator sets: medium speed sets
A medium speed engine is the
best choice of prime mover if your
requirement is to generate power for
longer periods amounting to several
thousand hours per annum.
Medium speed engines offer improved

fuel consumption, higher durability

and lower maintenance costs when
compared with high speed engines,
despite their comparatively larger
size, higher cost and heavier weight.
Medium speed engines also have the

advantage of being able to operate on

cheaper, less refined fuels.
Broadcrown offers medium speed
generator sets incorporating reputable
engines from manufacturers such as
MAN, GE and Rolls Royce.

Turbine generator sets up to 5MWe with co-generation:

gas turbine generator sets
Our gas turbine generator set range
is available in a reliable and efficient
standard package that can be
specifically configured to meet your
particular project requirements. Gas
turbine generators are best suited to
continuous running applications and,
with the addition of heat recovery
equipment, work as highly efficient
co-generation packages.

Gas turbines are considerably lighter

with a much smaller footprint than
equivalent output reciprocating
medium speed engines. Typical
users include the oil & gas, mining,
manufacturing and processing
industries together with district
heating schemes.
Gas turbine generator sets generally
have a lower efficiency, as pure

electrical generators in simple cycle

operation, compared with reciprocating
engines although their low weight
may be beneficial. However, when
operating in conjunction with heat
recovery systems the overall efficiency
is significantly increased. There is a
high proportion of turbine generators
in service that operate in a combined
cycle mode.

Fuel flexibility
Generator sets can be matched to
your exact fuel requirements from
our comprehensive range of gas and
liquid fuel prime movers.
Fossil fuel oils are comprised of
mixtures of petroleum distillate
hydrocarbons, obtained by distilling
crude oil and removing the different
fractions through the crude oil
refining process.
Depending upon where in the
fractionating process the oil is
obtained, the lighter and higher
liquid fractions include Petroleum
and Kerosene with lighter oils (gas
oil, distillates) lower down the
fraction and residual oils (heavy fuel
oil and residual oils) closer to the
bottom.

Two major categories of fossil fuel oil

are burned in compression ignition
engines distillate oils and residual
oils. In addition crude oil may also be
burned if suitably treated and within
the parameters required by the engine
manufacturer. Fuels can be further
broken down into individual grades
and mixtures and are given product
definitions that may be different in
industrial and marine applications.
Kerosene is a paraffin type fraction
and used extensively in the aviation
industry. Kerosene may be burned in
gas turbine engines but may only be
used in compression ignition engines
as a mix with distillates. Kerosenes
low lubricity content does not suit the
design of fuel systems of compression
ignition engines.
Distillate Fuel Oils, or Light Fuel Oils
(LFO), comprise gas oil, which is a
very high quality distillate often used
in smaller high speed engines and
other distillate fuel variants, burned in
the majority of compression ignition
engine types and gas turbines. Various
other terms may be used for distillates
such as MDO (marine diesel oil), Diesel
Oil or LFO (Light fuel oil, not liquid
fuel oil).

22

Residual Fuel Oils include Heavy

Fuel Oil (HFO) that may be burned
in certain medium speed engines
depending upon design, as can crude
oil. The heavier the oil, the greater
is its viscosity. Viscosity is a measure
of the fluids ability to flow or be
pumped. Kinematic Viscosity is the
most popular measure and is expressed
in centistokes (cSt). The majority
of engine manufacturers limit the
heavy fuel to a Kinematic Viscosity
of 700 cSt @ 50C. Prior to burning
in the engine the oil requires further
treatment and heating which lowers
the Kinematic viscosity to a level
suitable for use by the on engine fuel
systems. Crude oil, the least refined
of residual fuels may also be burned
in medium speed engines if suitably
treated. Crude is a more volatile fuel
hence increased health and safety
awareness must be considered.

Control systems
A wide spectrum of reliable, safe and
intelligent systems are available to
deliver the precise level of control
required.
It is critical that operators have
access to a reliable, safe and
intelligent control system at all
times. It must be straightforward,
user-friendly and sufficiently
comprehensive to give the valuable
data required to keep the power
system operating efficiently and in
good health.

Local Generator Control Panel

(LGCP)
Mounted alongside the generator set,
the LGCP provides for the control,
monitoring and protection of the
engine, alternator and all associated
systems. The LGCP can be configured
to control the generator set in two
different conditions

At Broadcrown we provide a wide

spectrum of control equipment from
an entry level simple generator set
control panel through to complete
site wide Supervision Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) systems.

Base load grid connected: The

LGCP controls the engine governor
and alternator Automatic Voltage
Regulator (AVR) maintaining a
constant output frequency and
voltage from the alternator. This
is used for applications where
the generator set is continually
connected to an infinite grid
network.
Island Operation: In this case
the LGCP controls the engine and
alternator AVR in a different manner,
sharing the site load with other
power sources. An example of such
an application would be a site with
multiple generator sets all connected
to a small local grid network.

Remote Generator Control Panel

(RGCP)
The GCP can be provided with a
repeater panel known as an RGCP for
location outside the powerhouse in the
quieter environment of a plant control
room. A GCP alone does not provide
sufficient control and monitoring of
the entire site network of installed
equipment utilised at a powerplant.
For this it is necessary to incorporate a
SCADA system.
SCADA
Located at the main control room
on site the SCADA system provides
centralised full monitoring and
coordination of all systems including
generator set(s), switchgear, fuel
services and all other associated
services at the plant.
