Adisaster for the world is looming - and there’s nothing we can do to prevent it. But isn’t that
what they said about the so-called ‘Millenium Bug’ back in 1999? Here’s the story.
NASA’s scientists have been advising that in 2013 the Earth will suffer - from a greater to a lesser
extent - from the effects of a magnetic energy storm produced by solar flares. It’s likely that Europe
will face power brownouts and blackouts. National power grids could overheat and air travel is likely to
be severely disrupted while essential electronic items - from navigation devices to major satellites -
could stop working after the Sun reaches its maximum power in a few years.
This super storm could hit like “a bolt of lightning” and may affect the world’s power generating
sectors unless the proper precautions are taken, a NASA official warns.
Dr Richard Fisher, the director of Nasa's Heliophysics division, a department of the Science Mission
Directorate at Nasa headquarters in Washington DC, commented: “We know this period of intense solar
activity is coming but we don’t know how bad it is going to be. It will disrupt communication devices
such as satellites, air travel, the banking system, computers, everything that is electronic. It will cause
major problems for the world. Large areas will be left without power and to repair that damage will be
hard as it will take time.”
Remote regions of the Earth, such as sub-Saharan Africa, could be deprived of power for several
months before transmission systems can be rebuilt, predicts Dr Fisher. “Systems will just not work. The
solar flares change the magnetic field on the earth - that will be rapid and like a lightning bolt. That is
the solar affect.”
Even in a ‘best-case’ scenario, he considers that substantial areas, including northern Europe and
Britain which have relatively fragile power grids, would be without electricity for hours, possibly even
days. Dr Fisher has drawn parallels with preparations being made in a US hurricane season, where the
authorities knew a problem was imminent but did
not know how serious it would be.
“There will be a severe economic impact from
this solar storm. We take it very seriously. The
economic impact could be like a major hurricane
or storm, only scaled-up in size.”
In 2008 the US-based National Academy of
Sciences first suggested that power grids could
“be knocked out by intense solar activity”. It was
said that a powerful solar storm could cause
“twenty times more economic damage than
Hurricane Katrina” - the 2005 storm which left a
damage bill of more than US $125bn (£85bn).
Creating more backup energy-generating systems
for hospitals and power grids is the only practical
answer, says Dr Fisher.
“If you know that a hazard is coming and you
have time enough to prepare and take
precautions, then you can avoid trouble,” he
concluded.
What a revelation. Thank you, Dr Fisher.

In brief...
GDF Suez consortium
to develop $1.8bn
Barka, Sohar power
projects
A consortium led by
France's GDF Suez has
won the right to build a
pair of gas fired power
projects at a combined
estimated cost of $1.8bn.
At roughly 744 MW
apiece, the two schemes
will rank among the
largest greenfield power
projects to be developed
in the Sultanate.
GDF Suez led a field of
three consortiums that
were shortlisted in a
keenly contested
international competitive
bid for the two
Independent Power
Projects (IPPs), known as
Barka III and Sohar II.
Enel Green Power,
Simest to build
hydropower plant in
Guatemala
Italy's Enel Green Power
in association with
Simest, the public-private
company which promotes
the development of
Italian foreign enterprise,
is to build an 84 MW runof-river
hydropower plant
in Guatemala.
The project involves the
construction and
operation of the Palo
Viejo hydropower plant in
the Department of
Quiche.
The 84 MW plant, which
will rely on the natural
water flow of the Cotzal
river and its three tributaries,
will cost €185m
($226m).
Massimo D'Aiuto, CEO of
Simest, said:
"The public venture
capital fund, will total 6%
with a financial
commitment of €10m."
Caledonia generator at Blanket Gold Mine
Zimbabwe’s Blanket Gold Mine has
just installed and commissioned the
first of several 2.5MVA diesel
generators. Until recently, the mine
relied exclusively on a Zimbabwe
Electricity Supply Authority 33kV
electricity supply to run all of its
operations. However, average daily
power outages at Blanket have
increased from approximately 5 hours
per day in February 2010 to over 9
hours per day - the latter recorded in
May 2010. The increased frequency
of power loss, coupled with the
unpredictabilty and duration of
power outages, has an adverse effect
on gold production, and also on the
underground installations essential
for the completion of the No. 4 Shaft
Expansion Project. Caledonia has
decided to accelerate Blanket's program to install
sufficient diesel generating capacity to allow mining
operations to continue at the current rate of
production.
The first standby generator allows the continuous
operation of the Four Shaft Winders to operate
without interruption during outages. Blanket plans
to install additional generators after completion of
the No. 4 Project.
These additional generators will give Blanket
sufficient standby generating capacity to maintain
its target production of 40,000 ounces of gold per
annum even if the current level of electricity
outages continues.
Bowman Power’s new turbogenerator award
The UK-based Bowman Power
Group has won the 2010 European
New Product Innovation Award
from Frost & Sullivan.
The award was for the
development of electrical turbogenerators
which convert exhaust
gases from engines into useful
energy. Although developed
primarily for the commercial
P
automotive sector, Bowman has
also been working with several
generator manufacturers and
packagers in order to offer the
best efficiency through its
products.
In an industry which is
challenged by emission and fuel
consumption regulations, there is
constant need for innovative and
affordable
technologies to
tackle toxic
emissions, says
Frost & Sullivan.
It later added
that the
efficiency of the
electrical turbogenerators
from
Bowman Power
is far higher
than that of the
mechanical ones
from its competitors.
“While Bowman Power's
competitors have introduced
mechanical turbocompounding
that convert the exhaust gas into
mechanical energy that is fed
back to the crankshaft, the
exhaust heat recovery system
from Bowman Power is unique in
its ability to convert some of the
heat energy from exhaust gases
into useful electrical energy,”
says Frost & Sullivan Research
Analyst, Arif Basheer.
“Running the turbogenerator at
controlled speeds, which is one of
Bowman's pending patents,
optimises the efficiency across a
wider range of engine conditions
and delivers significantly higher
fuel efficiency. This is the key
advantage it has over the
mechanical turbogenerators from
its competitors.”

New Wind initiative
for Europe
As the Spanish EU
Presidency launched the
'European Wind Initiative
(EWI) - a €6 billion ten year
research and development
roadmap for the wind
energy sector - the
European Wind Energy
Association (EWEA) said
that, if properly funded, it
would give European
companies a competitive
boost.
"The European Wind
Initiative is a big step
forward in our efforts to
maintain and strengthen
Europe's global leadership
in wind energy technology,"
Christian Kjaer, Chief
Executive of the European
Wind Energy Association
(EWEA), told WIP.
"The industry is ready to
invest in accelerated R&D
but the challenge is for the
European Commission to
come up with a plan to
ensure its contribution.
Other regions of the world
are investing significantly
more in public research
than the EU and its Member
States and it remains to be
seen how the EU will make
its contribution."

Success for the IP&EE Conference at the NEC
The head of the Claverton Think-Tank and
the organiser of the IP&EE Conference, Dave
Andrews, was upbeat about the strengths of
the IP&EE Conference. He reports that a
total of 28 speakers, leading energy
professionals in their own right, delivered
an average of 12 papers per day.
“We were overwhelmed by the response and
we had many packed Conference sessions.
Delegates came from as far away as Africa
to hear papers on a wide variety of power
topics. Many contacts were made.”
He said: “Ade Adekoya of Jemray Nigeria
Ltd clinched a deal with Andrew Chinnery of
UK-based Yellow Power Ltd for the supply of
diesel & gas power generation systems at
the Conference. So you can see this
Conference was not simply an opportunity
to learn about new techniques &
technology, but formed a proper forum
where business could be accomplished.”
The 2010 Conference reflects the Claverton
Energy Group’s growing status within
Europe’s energy circle, serving as a link
between practical end-users and cuttingedge
new technology.
According to Dave Andrews, the speakers
were ‘uniformly excellent’. The most
popular papers were those concerned with
diesel generators and the National Grid, in
particular one seminal paper from Mark
Duffield. William Orchard’s presentation
about gas engines & CHP also proved
popular.
Explosion prevention was a core topic in a
technical paper presented by Tetyana
Vynnyk of Sergi France. Her paper on
Transformer Explosions demonstrated how
such incidents can cripple power supply
operations. Her paper outlined some of the
latest cutting-edge strategies and
technology available to minimise the risk to
industry.
Illaria Peretti of Turboden also delivered a
well-attended study focussing on the latest
research involving the Organic Rankine
Cycle and the use of small decentralised
biomass plants.

Cuts &
cautions
It's a month now since an election
precipitated the first coalition
government in Britain since WWII, and
the first ever Lib-Con alliance, reports
Chris Hopkins.
What’s the result so far? It's all been
rather quiet on the economics front.
Or at least it has been for Britain, sidelined
as it is by uproar in the eurozone
markets prompted by Greece's (and now
perhaps Hungary) debt worries. These
events have left the pre-election rhetoric
over cuts and budget deficit seeming
rather anti-climactic.
All in all, the only real bad news for the
coalition government, economically, has
been the sudden and unfortunate
departure of David Laws.
The highly regarded Chief Secretary to
the Treasury has been offloaded amidst a
scandal about his expenses and attempts
to keep his sexuality a secret.
Apart from the obvious loss of a
respected minister, the question remains
about who will now prevent our new and
most qualified chancellor George Osborne
from spilling hot coffee over himself or
attempting to nationalise cheese?
We can only hope Law's replacement
Danny Alexander can transfer the skills
acquired dealing with his small children to
managing precious Osborne's
economic quirks.

DIESEL ENGINES
New engine is most powerful and
fuel-efficient in its class
MAN Diesel & Turbo's first upgraded, twenty-cylinder 28/33D prototype gen-set engine
has passed a series of tests at the company's St. Nazaire works, and has been awarded
type approval by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) classification society.
Anew engine designed by MAN Disesel
& Turbo as a gen-set for the
offshore industry has received a
type approval which covers a rating of
9,100 kW at 1,000 rpm for 100% MCR and
an additional 10% overload capacity for
one hour every six hours of 10,000 kW at
1,032 rpm.
The four-stroke, medium speed engine
is, accordingly, the most powerful and
fuel-efficient diesel engine in its class
worldwide, says MAN Diesel.
The V28/33D engine range has 12-, 16-
and 20-cylinder configurations, a state-ofthe-art
design featuring a high power
density, and maintains full compliance
with IMO-II and EPA Tier-II legislation.
The 280-mm bore and 330-mm stroke
engine with its simple, functional and
compact design has a minimal number of
components and is tailored for three main
segments: as a genset for offshore
applications; multiple propulsion

edition.
The new engine is
characterised by its
‘perfectly balanced ratio
between power and
weight, high performance,
shock resistance, quiet
running and high reliability
for maximised availability’,
says MAN.
With its ease of
installation & maintenance,
it is a textbook example of
a diesel engine featuring
low operation and lifecycle
costs, claims the
manufacturer.
Additional design features
include the new, in-housedeveloped
safety and
control system - SaCoSone -
and the new, highefficiency
TCA33
turbocharger, which has
been especially tuned for
the V28/33D engine.
A higher pressure rate
means the turbocharger can
reach values of up to 500
kW per cylinder.
The challenge of meeting
the new, IMO-II and EPA Tier-II emission
regulations, while maintaining the
excellent fuel-consumption and minimal
smoke-emission levels enjoyed by the
28/33D, has been overcome through the
development of an Emission Tier II
package which includes:
* An optimised injection system
* An optimised combustion chamber
* Miller cycling
*A high-efficiency, charge-air cooler
The 28/33D from MAN Diesel & Turbo - which
has applications as an offshore gen-set -
recently received a DNV type approval rating.
The unit features the new, in-house-developed
safety and control system - SaCoSone.
* An improved NOx/SFC/soot trade-off
* Simple customer connections (easy
installation).
Type approval from the remaining
classification societies is planned for later
this year and the first upgraded
20V28/33D engines on order will be
delivery in Autumn 2010.

GAS TURBINES
Superior gas turbine offering fuel
efficiency & operational flexibility
Rolls-Royce has announced the launch of its latest model from the industrial RB211
family, the H63, a 44MW engine designed to deliver at least 30% more power, more
efficiently than earlier models, reports the company. WIP has the story.
Developed and engineered using
technology from Rolls-Royce’s aeroengines,
the H63 will deliver
significant operational and environmentalbenefits
to customers.
The H63 will provide operators with an
additional 11MW of power, higher fuel
efficiency and operational flexibility. The
H63 will provide higher power and
improved benefits to customers in both
the electrical power generation and oil
and gas industries and has the capability
for further improvements, including
power growth of up to 13%, explains the
manufacturer.
Steve Richards, Rolls-Royce, RB211
Product Director, told WIP: “The RB211-
H63 integrates the reliability & ruggedness
of our current RB211 gas turbines
with the proven technology from the
Group’s Trent aero engines to create the
next evolution in the industrial RB211 gas
turbine family.”
He comments: “By combining the best
features from the RB211 and Trent
engines we are able to deliver an engine
designed for reliable operation, ease of
maintenance and quick installation and at
the same time provide increased levels of
efficiency and power.”

efficiency gas turbines
capable of fully
meeting customers’
operational requirements
from peaking
to base load power,
reports the company.
Versions of the
RB211 are available in
a power range from
29MW to a possible
50MW. Industrial Trent
models can also
supply from 51MW to 64MW in simple
cycle and up to 107MW in combined cycle,
With the same footprint as the current
RB211-GT61 and RB211-G62 models, the
new gas turbine, when operating with a
Wet Low Emissions (WLE) combustion
system, will be rated at 44MW at ISO
conditions, an 11MW improvement. Using
a Dry Low Emissions (DLE) system, the
rating will be 38MW.
Combine this with a new high efficiency,
high speed RT63 power turbine, and
operators will benefit from a gas turbine
with a simple cycle efficiency of 41.5 %,
the best in the 35MW to 45MW power
range.
By introducing proven Trent
aero technology, the H63 has
the capability for further
improvements including
power growth of up to 13%,
says the company.
The improved performance
of this engine is made
possible by the use of proven
engineering from the RB211
plus technology from the
Trent 60. This technology
includes high-pressure turbine rotor
blades [see above] and the intermediate
compressor stators and rotors.
For mechanical drive applications, Rolls-
Royce is also developing a new high speed
gas pipeline compressor with a maximum
pressure of 3,220 psig.
The RFBB-30 will be capable of housing
up to five stages with an efficiency of 88%
and will be matched to the new RT63
power turbine.
The new H63 gas turbine will achieve
full load power in ten minutes from a cold
start and will be capable of changing
between liquid and gas fuels at all power
levels without any interruption to load.

HRSG
HRSG: cutting edge technology &
high-calibre production facilities
A total of 370 energy recovery plants situated around the world have been installed by
DOOSAN’s HRSG Division which specialises in manufacturing HRSG units to form
the core components of any combined thermal power plant, WIP reports.
Established in 1962, Doosan Heavy
Industries & Construction Co.,
Ltd.(DOOSAN) has played major
roles in the development of Korea’s power
Plant business with the cutting edge
technology and high-calibre production
facilities.
Not many people realise DOOSAN also
has extensive experience in supplying
HRSG. The company has its own HRSG
centres in Korea and Vietnam with a
production capacity over 40 units per
year.
The company has also received 13
Certificates of Authorisation from the
ASME, allowing the company to use the
ASME Code stamp for components and was
awarded ISO 9000 series and ISO 14000
certifications for all its power plants
components including, HRSG.
DOOSAN’s HRSG Division specialises in
manufacturing HRSG to form one of the
core components of a combined thermal
power plant. It manufactures
corresponding boilers for its national
combined thermal power plants in places
such as Boryeong, Busan, and also supplies
various power plants in Europe, Asia and
even Africa.
Energy recovery heat exchangers like
these are designed to recovers heat from
a hot gas stream. An HRSG unit produces
steam which can be used in a process or
used to drive a steam turbine.
A common application for an HRSG is in
a combined-cycle power station, where
hot exhaust from a gas turbine is fed to
an HRSG to generate steam which in turn
drives a steam turbine. This combination
produces electricity more efficiently than
either the gas turbine or steam turbine
alone.
Another application for an HRSG is in
diesel engine combined cycle power
plants, where hot exhaust from a diesel
engine, as primary source of energy, is fed
to an HRSG to generate steam which, in
turn, drives a steam turbine.
The HRSG is also an important
component in cogeneration plants. All
cogeneration plants typically have a higher
overall efficiency in comparison to a
combined cycle plant. This is due to the
loss of energy associated with the steam
turbine.
DOOSAN’s most famous HRSGs include
the Peterhead Combined Cycle Plant in
the UK, EPM La Sierra in Colombia, Al
Ezzel CCP in Bahrain and LG Bugok II in
Korea. At each location, the plant
consists of three major components.
These are the Evaporator, Superheater,
and Economiser. DOOSAN puts the
different components together to meet
the particular operating requirements of
the unit in a particular country.
The company has so far supplied around
370 units of HRSG for combined cycle
power plants around the globe.

POWERPLANTS
Can you turn your VOC abatement
plant into an energy source?
Brofind SPA has been installing steam recovery plants in Europe for some years now.
Now the company firmly believes that in thermal treatment the pollutant (VOC) can be
the main source of energy used by the system to support the purification process.
Could your plant be ‘self-supporting’
or, ‘autothermal’ in operation?
That’s the question being asked by
Brofind SPA. Wasting energy means
wasting money in the company’s view.
For a plant to be self-supporting it
should be using the pollutant (VOC) as the
only - or at least the main - source of
energy supporting the purification
process, says Brofind.
In the last few years Brofind has carried
out research and development projects to
combine minimising ecological problems
with those of reducing energy
consumption and production
requirements. The company suggests five
approaches to do this more effectively:
* CLOSED LOOP: In many cases the outlet
air at the stack of the purification plant
may still contain some useful heat. In
some cases, it is possible to recycle 100%
of the treated air in the production
process.
* COOLING: It is possible to achieve
cooling using the heat obtained after a
purification process. Experience has
taught Brofind that plants with lithium
Steam recovery provides
valuable energy which would
otherwise be lost. [Pic: Brofind]
salts - using hot water,
steam or hot air directly
from the purification plant
- can store calories and
turn this energy into chilled
water at 7°C.
This application is most
suitable on recuperative
thermal combustion
processes, as the
temperature of the purified
air at the stack is around
400°C, which leads to a
better efficiency and faster
return on investment.
* THERMAL OIL HEATING:
A plant’s existing heating
system, (i.e. direct or
indirect burners), can be
replaced with a new thermal oil circuit to
save energy.
In some cases a refractory butterfly
valve allows air to be extracted at 800-
900°C and to regulate the amount of
recovery according to the heat available
in the purification plant .
It is also possible to provide a heat
recovery system with a direct thermal oil
heater designed to meet production
demands.
* STEAM RECOVERY: This works best in
solvent recovery plants using activated
carbon and steam regeneration. Brofind
has learned to optimise this process in
order to minimise the consumption of
steam during carbon regeneration. It has
done this by developing a recovery
process based on the enthalpy of the used
steam.
STEAM PRODUCTION: In cases where
steam recovery is not possible, e.g.
because of the high acidity of the
combustion gases from the destruction of
chlorinated or brominated organic
One of Brofind’s energy-through-vapur-recovery
projects.
Improved thermal oil heating
can also create energy savings.
compounds, Brofind has installed a firetube
boiler to produce steam. This
technology is able to work, (due to the
water evaporation temperature and the
operating pressure), where these acids
are not aggressive.
In some cases the steam, in addition to
being recycled in production, is used to
preheat the combustion gases. Gas cooling
in the boiler makes any further posttreatment
phase - quench+scrubber - far
easier and less expensive, reports Brofind.

CHP
Building a biogas plant with
CHP for electrification
Which is the most economical solution: a biogas plant with CHP for electrification - or
a biogas plant with biogas upgrading for gas grid injection? Well, Germany-based
HAASE Energietechnik can help you make up your mind.WIP has the story.
The decision about whether to build
a biogas plant with CHP for
electrification - or invest in a biogas
plant with biogas upgrading for gas grid
injection is certainly an important
question for investors.
HAASE Energietechnik manufactures its
own designs and elements for both
versions, says the company.
Not only is the size of the biogas plant
important, says HAASE, but the regional
price level for natural gas and the specific
method for the biogas upgrading will also
adffect the decision on what to build. The
thermal range and the local energy prices
are also crucialto the economics.
There are specific questions you must
ask first. Are there additional heat
consumers besides the biogas plant itself?
If yes - then in most cases the
electrification of the biogas in a biogas
CHP unit will be the most economical
solution. The exhaust heat from the
engines can be used to heat residential
and commercial buildings.
HAASE Biogas Upgrader in Jameln.
HAASE provides biogas CHP
units as compact, ready-forconnection
container units
with integrated flare system
and booster.
If no further heat consumer
is available, then the surplus
exhaust heat needs to be
cooled away, which
considerably reduces the
profitability of the CHP, and
additionally creates an
atmospheric burden, says
HAASE.
In this situation choosing a
Biogas Upgrader for gas grid
injection depends on whether
there is a handy gas-pipeline
close by, and whether the biogas
plant can provides at
least 500 Nm3/per hour of
raw biogas. If these criterion are met
then a biomethane plant - a HAASE
BiogasUpgrader - would be economic to
build.
A BiogasUpgrader produces the necessary
process heat by itself and can even export
surplus heat. The higher the regional
energy price for the heat supply of the
biogas plant, the more economical the
BiogasUpgrader. This technology for biogas
upgrading provides exhaust heat at a
temperature level of 55°C. It provides the
basic heat load of the biogas plant and
thereby substitutes for expensive primary
energy. This is a strategic advantage other
techniques for biogas upgrading do not
offer, says the company.
According to company spokesperson,
Ursula Packhäuser: “When it comes to
flexibility and mobility, containerised CHP
units are unbeatable. They are delivered
fully mounted and ready for connection.”
HAASE BiogasVerstärker, BHKW.
She explained: “The customer provides a
suitable foundation onsite and generation
of electricity can start as soon as the gas
and power supplies have been connected
to the container. For waste heat recovery,
the hot water pipes are also connected.
Containerised CHP units excel by virtue of
their mobility and modular design. They
may easily be adapted to new conditions.
The booster units for power generation
are also fitted in containers.
Containerized CHP units made by HAASE
are elements at the heart of a new
cogeneration plant for landfill gas on the
Sudokwon landfill site in Seoul, Korea.
This facility has an overall capacity of
about 10MW which is compltely fuelled by
landfill gas.

FILTRATION
Eclipse Magnetic's Filtramag: key to
coal power station filtration systems
Eclipse Magnetic's Filtramag is the key filtration system for the heavy-duty gearboxes fitted
to the Drax coal pulverising mills. It’s why the Drax coal-fired power station in
North Yorkshire, is the cleanest and most efficient coal-fired power station in the UK.
It’ sa fact. The Drax coal-fired power
station, near Selby, North Yorkshire, is
the cleanest and most efficient coalfired
power station in the UK. The output
capacity of the site's six turbo-generators
is an impressive 4000MW, and it currently
provides enough power to meet 7% of the
UK's electricity needs.
Each turbo-generator is supplied with
superheated steam from a dedicated
boiler, which burns pulverised fuel
supplied by 10 grinding mills.
To ensure that maintenance downtime
was minimised, an Eclipse Magnetic
Filtramag filtration system was fitted
along with a circulation pump, a
motorised cooling fan and a thermostatic
temperature control, onto an interchangeable
transportable platform, containing
quick release couplings.
The filtration element can easily be
exchanged for a cleaned unit. Where
maintenance is required, the platform can
simply be uncoupled from any given
pulverising mill and quickly exchanged
with a replacement platform.
Andrew Wilkinson, the Drax Engineer
who oversaw the successful project, told
WIP: “Efficient filtration has been proved
to considerably extend the working life of
each pulverising mill's heavy-duty
gearbox.
"Previous company trials of magnetic
filtration systems, conducted in the
1980s, had proved to be inconclusive, but
the considerable progress made in the
field by Eclipse Magnetics convinced us
that Filtramag's outstanding filtration
capability, maintenance-friendly
characteristics and short investment payback
period exactly matched our needs.”
In line with the company's commitment
to minimise environmental impact, over
the past three years the new Eclipse units
have helped to improve recovery of
contaminated debris entrained in the
lubrication system, allowing better
management of toxic waste.
Eclipse Magnetics has also developed a
wide range of high-intensity, superefficient
filtration products which are
designed for use across many industrial
sectors. Boasting sub-micron filtration
capability, the design of the new Eclipse
products enables the efficient removal of
ferrous and paramagnetic particles from
fluids such as cutting oils, re-circulating
coolants and quenching oils.
Each of the Eclipse filtration systems
incorporates rare earth magnetic material
to ensure extremely high magnetic flux
fields.
Whilst passing through these extremely
strong magnetic fields, the design of the
Eclipse Magnetic's filter chambers alters
the characteristics of the fluid's flow,
maximising both the surface area and
time available for the magnets to attract
and retain all suspended ferrous particles.
There are many benefits currently being
enjoyed by users of the Eclipse Magnetics,
says the manufacturer.
Benefits of the high-intensity filter
system include - no running costs, no
maintenance costs, an end to the downtime
normally associated with the
changing of filter media, and no fluid loss
due to changing sodden cartridges.
The system has been designed to
produce no back-pressures - even when
the magnetic cores are totally saturated
with fluid. In this way, Filtramag provides
an extended machine tool, cutting tool
and coolant/oil life.

New Qatar order for Composite Technology
Composite Technology Corporation
(CTC) has won a new order for its
subsidiary, CTC Cable Corporation
from Midal Cables Limited. The
order is for ACCC® core to be
stranded by Midal to produce 70
kilometers of ACCC® Drake
conductor for a reconductor
project of an existing 132 kV, 125
MVA per circuit ACSR Zebra
conductor transmission line. This
project will upgrade the line into
a higher capacity 260 MVA per
circuit ACCC® Drake conductor
line. Installation is scheduled for
September 2010.
CTC Cable's ACCC® Drake
conductor was chosen for this
project because it exceeded
ACSR's mechanical and electrical
parameters and its slightly smaller
outer diameter offered better
performance in wind conditions.
Due to lower resistance and
reduced line losses, our conductor
enabled an increase in capacity
without replacing existing
structures. The application of
ACCC® conductor in this line
substantially improves the
capacity and reliability of the
transmission grid serving Qatar in
the KAHRAMAA network.
Benton Wilcoxon, Chief Executive
Officer of Composite Technology
Corporation, told WIP: "The
continued adoption of ACCC®
conductors within new territories
shows the effects of our new
marketing strategies. We are very
excited to receive this first order
from
the
Middle
East
and
look
for
near
term
expansion in the region."
This entry into the Middle Eastern
market is further evidence of CTC
Cable's position as one of the
leading Composite Core conductor
in the electrical transmission and
distribution industry. ACCC®
conductor is one of the most
broadly accepted composite core
conductor technology in the
industry with over 140
installations and 9,400 kilometers
commercially deployed in
transmission and distribution grids
in the U.S., Mexico, South
America, Asia and Europe.

New GOOSE available from Megger
With the new and patented GOOSE Message
Interface from Megger, it is now possible to use
existing conventional test sets for testing
protective relays and other items of substation
equipment that communicate via the IEC 61850
networking protocol. The new interface makes
possible big savings, as there is no longer a need to purchase costly
new test equipment for networked substations. Additional key benefits
of the GOOSE Message Interface are that it allows engineers and
technicians to continue using equipment with which they are familiar,
and also that it avoids the early obsolescence of test sets that
are not IEC 61850 compatible. www.megger.com
