Solar energy units in print formats
Brand new materials developed by a team of researchers at MIT in the
USA have made it possible to produce photovoltaic cells on paper or fabric, as easily and as
simply as printing a document. The sheet of paper resembles any normal document, with an array
of colored rectangles printed over much of its surface. But then a researcher picks it up, clips a couple
of wires to one end, and shines a light on the paper. Instantly an LCD clock display at the other end of
the wires begins to display the time.
Almost as cheaply and easily as printing a photo on your inkjet, an inexpensive, simple solar cell has
been created on that flimsy sheet, formed from special ‘inks’ deposited on the paper. You can even fold
it up to slip into a pocket, then unfold it and watch it generating electricity again in the sunlight.
The new technology has been highlighted in the journal Advanced Materials published this month and
co-authored by Professor of Electrical Engineering Vladimir Bulović; Karen Gleason; Michael Kasser
Professor of Chemical Engineering; graduate student Miles Barr; and six other students and postdocs.
The project was supported by the the US National Science Foundation, and the Eni-MIT Alliance Solar
Frontiers Program.
Until now, creating solar cell structures generally involved exposing the substrates to potentially
damaging conditions, either in the form of high temperatures or liquids. Instead of liquids this new
printing process uses vapours and temperatures less than 120°C. This relatively benign approach makes
it possible to use ordinary cloth, plastic or untreated paper as the substrate on which the solar cells
can be printed.
Of course, it’s a little more complex than just printing out a piece of paper. To manufacture an array
of photovoltaic cells on the paper, five layers of material need to be deposited onto the same sheet of
paper in successive passes, using a mask - also made of paper - to form the patterns of cells on the
surface. The process also takes place inside a vacuum chamber.
The basic process is essentially the same as the one used to make the silvery lining in your average
bag of crisps: a vapour-deposition process which can be carried out inexpensively on a vast commercial
scale. The resilient solar cells still function even when folded up into a paper airplane.
Incredibly, the IMIT researchers also chronicle an experiment which involved printing a solar cell on a
sheet of PET plastic and then folding and unfolding it 1,000 times, with no significant loss of
performance. By contrast, a commercially
produced solar cell on the same material failed
after a single folding.
Professor Bulović comments: “We have
demonstrated this robust technology quite
thoroughly,” Bulović says. “We think we can
fabricate scalable solar cells which can reach
record-high watts-per-kilogram performance,”
he says.
For example, in remote developing-world
locations, weight makes a major difference in how
many cells could be delivered in a given load.
Clearly, this development of a cheap and easily
available solution could transform the gathering of
solar energy on a vast scale and represents a major
leap forward for harvesting this resource.

Tognum marks opening of
new facilities at SKL Motor
subsidiary in Germany
Tognum, the Germany-based specialist for
propulsion and power solutions, is currently
conducting research on advanced diesel and
gas engines of the future at its SKL Motor
subsidiary in Magdeburg, Germany.
This month, Saxony-Anhalt‘s Minister-
President Dr. Reiner Haseloff presided
over a symbolic ceremony at which four
new single-cylinder test stands
went into operation. The facilities will be
used by the company’s specialists to
develop new combustion processes, fuels
and combustion chamber geometries for the
development of advanced engines at the
Friedrichshafen location of the Tognum
brand MTU.
The regional government of Saxony-Anhalt
is supporting the high-technology R&D
program to the tune of several million Euros
with a total of €10 million being invested in
the test stands.
To implement the program, the workforce
at SKL Motor in Magdeburg has again
expanded with 225 employees now working
in the R&D and Production sections.
“There are numerous reasons why we are
constantly developing cleaner and more
fuel-efficient engines and drive systems. For
us, meeting increasingly more stringent
regulations is a technological challenge. For
a globally active company such as ours, it is
a duty and for company such as Tognum
which places great value on sustainable
approaches, it is the practical expression of
our responsibility,” Dr. Ulrich Dohle,
Tognum Executive Board member for
Technology & Operations, told WIP.
Today, MTU engines outputting up to

Cyprus power station loss cripples the island’s
energy grid and cuts crucial water supplies
“Which idiot decided to place 98
containers of explosives in a
compound directly opposite the
largest energy facility in the Cyprus
Republic?” - Local Cypriot
newspaper headline
July 11th, 2001: A major explosion at a
munitions dump in southern Cyprus killed
12 people and destroyed a critically
important power station, initiating widespread
power cuts, reports special
correspondent, Victor Pancic.
The cost of the accident has been put at
€3.1 billion, well over 18.5% of the whole
income of the Cyprus economy. This is
largest ever cost suffered by the economy
of Cyprus since the 1974 invasion and may
also sink the country into an energy crisis,
the Ministry of Finance warned.
Commerce Minister Antonis Paschalides
called the blast a “tragedy of Biblical
dimensions” for the small Mediterranean
island.
According to a statement this month from
the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, the
destruction of the Vassiliko plant, which
covers 60% of Cyprus’s supply, has meant
power cuts in various parts of the island as
site clearance get underway. But, the
authority’s chairman Charis Thrassou
warned, the repairs will take months - even
years - to complete.
The power plant, which cost €1.5 billion to
build and was only recently completed, is
partially owned by the state, which will
have to foot a significant part of the bill
for its repair as the insurance will not cover
the entire amount.
Cypriots meanwhile, are being urged to
save energy and water to ensure that
businesses, hotels and industry can keep
going, especially as this is peak holiday
season. Greece has sent two 60MW mobile
generators to help the island cope with the
current power shortage.
All standby generators in Cyprus have been
mobilised to boost power supply at the
height of the summer heat.
Hundreds of trees on nearby hillsides were
flattened by the force of the blast and
several generator buildings and fuel tanks
at the Vassiliko plant were reduced to
blackened shells. Virtually every window
was blown out in Zygi, a nearby village
whose seafront fish restaurants are popular
with locals and tourists alike.
Power outages have already hit large
swathes of the island.
The loss of supply also prompted the
closure of desalination plants which had
allowed the gradual abandonment of
summer water rationing over the past two
years. The Nicosia Water Board announced
that consumers in the capital would now be
supplied with water for just 12 hours in
every 48.
Since 2003 the Electricity Authority of
Cyprus has been involved in extensively
upgrading the Vassilikos, Dekeleia and Moni
Power Stations.
Until the fire Vassilikos Power Station, had
an installed capacity of 298 MW (2 x 130
MW Steam Units and one 38 MW Gas
Turbine Unit) which produced 42.29% of the
total electricity exported from the
Authority's Power Stations.
Power stations offer massive economies of
scale; this means that the cost per unit of
electricity produced gets cheaper and
cheaper the bigger the power station.
Vasiliko was the biggest and most modern
power station in Cyprus, and produced the
cheapest electricity per unit. The other
power stations were effectively backups to
Vassiliko: their cost-per-unit of electricity
was much higher, and their capacity less.

Wind Direct in100GWh success
Wind Direct, the on-site generation arm of
destroyed.
UK-based Wind Prospect has broken
through the 100GWh barrier for the volume
of electricity generated by the wind
projects it has developed - saving industrial
clients several £million on their bottom
line.
The 100GWh mark heralds a major
achievement for the renewable energy
company, which has been developing wind
projects on industrial and commercial sites
since 2004.
The company has also maintained an
impressive 92% planning success rate over
the last six years – well above the national
average, which according to reports,
stands at just 25%.
In reaching the 100GWh mark, Wind Direct
has enabled clients to offset a total of
more than 55,000 tonnes of carbon
emissions through the generation of green
electricity, reports the company.
ETI to fund £23.5m carbon scheme
Development of the next generation of
carbon capture technologies, seen as
crucial to helping the UK meet its 2050
climate change targets, is to receive a
major boost from the Energy Technologies
Institute (ETI), which launched its latest
project this month.
The ETI is working with Costain to deliver
the project which will see a carbon
capture pilot plant capable of capturing up
to 95% of carbon dioxide emissions
designed, built, operated and tested by the
middle of 2015.
The ETI investment means it has now
announced more than £100m of projects in
offshore wind, marine, distributed energy,
buildings, energy storage and distribution,
transport and bio energy as well as CCS
since it was formed in 2008.
Speaking at the Carbon Capture and
Storage Development Forum in London, UK
Energy Minister Charles Hendry told WIP:
“Carbon Capture and Storage can
significantly reduce CO2 emissions from
fossil fuel power stations and will play a
crucial role for delivering a secure, low
carbon future.”
The project will be primarily aimed at
pre-combustion carbon capture, involving
CO2 removal by physical separation and
will be split into two parts, says ETI.

alike consider ‘green jobs’ as a
sustainable and, crucially, profitable
step forward towards full economic
recovery.
In light of this surge in interest in
renewables it is worthwhile asking -
exactly where the generation costs of
fossil fuels stand with respect to their
smug, new renewable peers in 2011?
'Levilised cost' is a measure of the real
present value of a given method of
generation's total costs per MWh. It is
calculated and used by the US Energy
Information Administration (EIA) to plan
and evaluate the US's future generation
investment decisions.
In the EIA's 2011 Annual Energy Outlook ,
renewable upstarts wind, solar PV and
biomass come in at 97.0 $/MWh, 210.7
$/MWh and 112.5 $/MWh, respectively.
Coal manages a competitive 94.8 $/MWh,
while natural gas is the lowest of all at
66.1 $/MWh.
The standout figure from these merely
confirms what many would have already
guessed – PV is still nowhere close to
being economically competitive without
extensive subsidies.
Interestingly, solar thermal is even worse
at 322.8 $/MWh – the most uncompetitive
generation method listed. Advanced
nuclear manages 113.9 $/MWh, similar to
the costs of biomass, while hydroelectric
is 86.4 $/MWh, cheapest other than
conventional gas.
So it is clear that two of the newer
three renewable technologies, ignoring
hydro, wind and biomass, are approaching
the competitive price bracket around 100
$/MWh. Wind is particularly encouraging,
dipping below 100 $/MWh at 97 $/MWh;
though offshore wind is a comparatively
costly 243.2 $/MWh.
One further important consideration is
what happens to the costs of coal and gas
when modern, carbon reducing technologies,
likely to be included in many new

Turbogenerators for the Gorgon
Project, Western Australia
The Gorgon Project in Western Australia, will cost $43bn and involves the delivery of five
118MW turbogenerators for GE Oil & Gas to power the the treatment and liquefaction of
natural gas in the largest such project in Australia´s history, reports WIP.
One of the largest independent
manufacturers of turbogenerators
in the world, BRUSH combines the
resources of three major manufacturers of
generators for gas turbine and steam
turbine drives.
BRUSH reports the delivery of five
turbogenerators of 118MW each for GE Oil
& Gas, Italy, to the Gorgon project in
Barrow Island, Western Australia, due to
commence production in 2014.
The five generators are of the BDAX
9.450ERH type - Gas turbine GE Frame 9E
units with power output of 118 MW each.
The generator packages offers:
•Voltage: 15 kV
•Frequency: 50 Hz
•Cooling system: closed air circuit,
water cooled (CACW / TEWAC)
•Excitation: Brushless AC exciter,
automatic voltage regulator PRISMIC A32
•Accessories: Line & neutral cubicles,
rotor withdrawal gear & spare generator
rotor
The BRUSH equipment is at the heart of
one of the world´s largest projects for the
treatment and liquefaction of natural gas
and the largest natural gas project in
Australia´s history. The LNG deposit
contains about 40 trillion cubic feet –
that’s enough to power a city of 1 million
CACW motors provided by BRUSH for
the Langeled subsea gas pipeline
from Nyhamna in Norway.
people for 800 years.
Globally, the net impact
of using Gorgon LNG will
result in about 45 million
tones less greenhouse
gas emissions, when
compared against coal,
says Chevron. That is
said to be the
equivalent of taking
about two-thirds of all
vehicles off Australian
roads.
The Gorgon Project will
develop the Greater
Gorgon Area gas fields, located about 130
kilometres off the north-west coast of
Western Australia.
It includes the construction of a 15m
tonne per annum (MTPA) Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island and a
domestic gas plant with the capacity to
provide 300 terajoules per day to supply
gas to Western Australia.
Barrow Island will be Gorgon’s home –
occupying 1.3% of its uncleared land
mass. Although a Class A Nature Reserve,
it is recognised internationally as a
location where industry and the environment
co-exist. The plant will include
three, 5 million-tonne-per-annum LNG
trains and a domestic gas phase and
establish international shipping facilities.
The Gorgon Project is the single largest
investment of its kind in the world, and
will be an enormous boost for both the
West Australian and Australian economies.
The turbogenerator-supplier, BRUSH, has
manufacturing plants in the UK, the
Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The
plants currently lead the way in the
manufacture and servicing of electrical
equipment for industrial, marine and

GAS TURBINES
Medium-sized gas turbines
& vertical HRSG systems
Aalborg Engineering is well-known for providing the Steam- Gen 8, which offers the best and
most readily available HRSG technology on the market - vertical HRSG for medium-sized gas
turbines available both with no - and limited - supplementary firing characteristics, reports WIP.
In projects where power production is
the primary requirement, it is
necessary to focus on criteria other
than investment cost. Aalborg
Engineering, for example, can provide the
Steam-Gen 8, which is said to offer the
best and most readily-available HRSG
technology on the market.
In May 2009 Aalborg Engineering
supplied AB Achema with a working HRSG
for Achema's factory in Jonava, Lithuania,
currently using a Siemens SGT-800 gas
turbine.
The contract covered the design,
procurement, production and delivery of a
single steam pressure and district heating
producing HRSG, in this case a natural
circulation, single-pressure HRSG with DH
circuit
The SteamGen 8 involved is the
vertical HRSG for medium-sized gas
turbines, and is available both with no
supplementary firing, and with limited
supplementary firing formats.
The boiler is designed to meet the
highest possible reliability combined with
Two SteamGen8 units installed at
Inesco, Belgium by Aalborg
Engineering.
the most cost-efficient solution.
The vertical SteamGen 8 is as standard
designed for 100% natural circulation.
There is no need for startup or booster
pumps in any load cases, says Aalborg.
Load change rates are superior with
StemGen 8 compared to others, due to
the built in contingency, high circulation
ratio and low steam space rating in the
steam drum.
Due to the vertical arrangement the
required space can be optimised. For
instance, the GT can be located below
the HRSG with exhaust vertical upwards.
The limited space requirement is also an
important criteria for offshore and city
centre locations.
The SteamGen 8 boiler is designed
according to internationally recognised
boiler codes such as PED/EN. SteamGen
8 is the vertical HRSG especially designed
for medium-sized gas turbines. The
vertical SteamGen 8 is a standard
designed for 100% natural circulation.
In various industries there is a large
range of high energy consuming processes
with waste gas streams.
Aalborg Engineering has developed a
special boiler for this application, the
SteamGen 10. This HRSG boiler can be
used for heat recovery after kilns,
furnaces, and other waste process gas
streams, with a more or less aggressive
composition and any amount of dust in
the flue gas.
It is also possible to have additional
firing, where waste gas like CO can be
combusted and the boiler is customised to
the specific client's demands.
In 2012 Aalborg Engineering will be
commissioning a heat recovery facility for
Finnfjord A/S of Finnsnes in Norway which
operates three FeSi furnaces.

Each of the new SteamGen 10 units
will have a steam capacity of 63 t/h and a
steam pressure of 42 bar and a steam
temperature of 440 °C. These are natural
circulation, single HRSG, with water
cooled ducts upstream of each HRSG.
They each feature a steam system, drain,

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
ANZ’s power sector: an exclusive
Frost & Sullivan Report
In the ANZ region the growing market penetration of environment-friendly renewables does help
in striking a balance in maintaining energy supply security and in mitigating the hazardous
impact of greenhouse gas emissions, comments Suchitra Sriram of Frost & Sullivan.
What’s clear is that commitment
from governments, growing
interest of private sector
companies, deep involvement of nongovernment
organisations (NGOs), and
extensive public support are likely to
significantly increase the uptake of
renewable energy (RE) projects in the ANZ
region.
The revised Renewable Energy Target
(RET) stipulating 20.0% contribution of RE
towards electricity mix by 2020 was
passed by the Federal government in
August 2009. This landmark bill is
expected to attract investments of up to
$16.8 billion in various RE technologies,
apart from creating more than 25,000
jobs in this sector alone.
Moreover, this bill is considered to be a
great starting point for private companies
planning to venture into this high growth
sector.
Presently, 8.67% of Australia’s electricity
generation occurs through renewable
energy (RE) sources. The country is wellpositioned
to exceed its 20.0% RET due to
highly supportive federal government
policies that include funds, tax breaks,
etc., increasing use of abundant
resources, and significant uptake of RE
technologies by end users.
In 2010, some of the RE technologies
that posted high growth includes small
hydropower, wind power, solar PV power,
and bioenergy. Out of this, solar PV power
market witnessed phenomenal growth in
2010, having more than doubled its
installed capacity additions.
In 2011, wind power projects are
expected to dominate Australia’s RE
market in terms of installed capacity
additions as most of them are large-scale
farms. It is estimated to play a major role
in achieving the country’s RET in 2020.
Expected commissioning of five largescale
wind power projects during 2011 is
likely to generate market revenues of
$2.2 billion, from $380.0 million in 2010.
State-wise, South Australia is projected to
lead the wind power market because of
the two major projects that is currently
under construction.
Next to wind, solar PV power is expected
to gain considerable traction throughout
Australia and is likely to grow more
than 50.0% in terms of installed capacity
additions.
Market size in 2010 was estimated at
$2.0 billion and is expected to grow up to
$3.0 billion in 2011.

Cummins Generator Technologies
wins US$12.5m contract for VSIG
Cummins Generator Technologies has used its 100 years of experience in generator design and
manufacture to develop a revolutionary new product: the STAMFORD Variable Speed
Integrated Generator (VSIG), reports WIP.
From Cummins Generator
Technologies comes a pioneering
idea comprising a new generation of
axial flux bearingless permanent magnet
alternators (PMA). This new PMA has a
compact design more than four times
smaller and lighter than a conventional AC
generator.
This makes this alternator particularly
attractive to those markets where space
and weight are a premium, including
rental and mobile applications.
Providing a total integrated solution, the
PMA has been developed to be used in
conjunction with a robust power
electronics device: the STAMFORD Power
Conditioning System (PCS).
This device is capable of delivering a
‘clean’ electrical supply for almost any
application, and has the flexibility to
provide power in a variety of outputs: AC,
DC, 3 phase, single phase, high and low
volts, 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz up to 50KvA.
Another benefit is that the PCS
enclosure is fully sealed to give maximum
environmental protection to IP 65, making
it suitable for even then harshest of
environments.

POWER PLANTS
Wärtsilä powerplants will secure the
electricity supply in Estonia
Wärtsilä will supply Estonia with two power plants in a new project worth €129m
(US$186.7m) which will help ensure a steady electricity supply by providing back-up power
should any existing power station suffer any unexpected outages, reports Victor Pancic.
Wärtsilä has been awarded a
contract to supply two complete
power plants with a total output
of 250MW for Elering AS, the Estonian
transmission system operator, writes
Victor Pancic.
The power plants will provide dynamic
generation capacity to meet sudden and
unexpected drops in the electricity
supply. The power plant project is part of
the Estonian electricity sector’s
development plan to have new dynamic
power stations available for operation by
2018 in order to guarantee security of the
nation’s electricity supply.
The requirement for these plants is that
they have to be able to compensate for
lost generating capacity in no more than
15 minutes in the event of a plant shut
down. What’s essential is the 10-minute
start-up capability of the Wärtsilä power
plants.
The power plants are based on Wärtsilä
20V34DF engines, which will operate
primarily on natural gas but with the
option to switch to light fuel oil as a
back-up fuel. These dynamic grid stability
plants will operate on average of 200
hours per year. The contract also includes
The Wärtsilä 50SG has an electrical output of 18,321
kW, making it the largest gas powered generating set
in the world.
a two year maintenance agreement, with
a 10-year extension option.
The first power plant - called the Elering
Emergency Reserve Power Plant - is
scheduled to be in operation in the spring
2013, with the second unit due to be
operational by the autumn 2014.
“This is an important project for the
Estonian energy sector, and one which will
ensure the supply of electricity to
consumers should any existing power
station unexpectedly lose production. The
capacity of the new plants is equal to
one-sixth of Estonia’s peak demand, so in
an emergency they will be able to cover a
large part of the
capital, Tallinn’s,
winter electricity
consumption,” Mr
Taavi Veskimägi,
Elering’s Chairman,
tells WIP.
The power plants
will be optimally
located close to the
Kiisa substation, about
25 kilometres from
Tallinn. The advantage
of this region is the
strong connections
from this substation through high-voltage
lines to the other substations in Estonia.
The plants will be connected to Estonia’s
110kV and 330kV grid, and the project is
the first full turnkey engineering,
procurement and construction endeavour
to be built in the country under the new
EU regulations
Wärtsilä has been present in Estonia
since 2005, providing sales and services to
customers throughout the Baltic region.
Globally, Wärtsilä has delivered 4,500
power plants in 168 countries with
generating capacity totalling more than
47 GW.
“This grid stability power plant project
is an excellent example of Wärtsilä’s
ability to provide smart power generation
solutions. It meets the needs of the
customer in terms of fuel and operational
flexibility, as well as providing a reliable
means of securing Estonia’s electricity
supply,” commented Vesa Riihimäki,
Group Vice President, Wärtsilä Power
Plants.

CONTAINERISATION
Containerisation &
critical backup power
Active Power’s PowerHouse, a modular and complete continuous power solution, has proved to be
the best way forward for expanding businesses who need to deploy additional power
infrastructure in their facilities. WIP considers two recent case histories.
Recently, one UK-based datacentre
facility found itself with a serious
problem: it needed additional space
for more server equipment and more
power to efficiently operate its IT
infrastructure.
Unfortunately, this left very little floor
space for the critical backup power
equipment required to protect sensitive IT
equipment against power disturbances - a
common industry challenge. What the
customer needed was a complete solution
very quickly to increase capacity.
Like many other organisations, this
particular customer had an environmental
sustainability program in place, designed
to reduce its carbon footprint as a
company. Accordingly, the solution to its
power issues had to be energy-efficient
and green, and also be extremely
reliable.
Active Power’s PowerHouse solution was
chosen for its ‘simplicity, reliability,
efficiency, and environmental
sustainability’, reports the company.
Because all critical power equipment
could be acquired from a single vendor,
the entire containerised power system
was delivered and installed in a relatively
short time. Based on the customer’s
power requirements, Active Power
designed and delivered a number of
PowerHouse systems, made up of Active
Power's high efficiency CleanSource UPS
(uninterruptible power supply); high
quality, ‘fast sync’ diesel engines;
switchgear; and other critical power
infrastructure equipment.
With this particular UK contract,
PowerHouse was deployed in the facility’s
parking area. The package consisted of a
UPS coupled with an engine
system and placed in a secure,
weatherproof container. This
formed a complete turnkey
power solution within a vastly
reduced footprint, minimising
the need for large amounts of
battery space and freeing up
space for critical IT systems.
With an efficiency up to 98%,
CleanSource UPS reduces power
losses and delivers savings
directly to the customer’s
bottom line. At this efficiency
level, the customer is displacing
approximately 125,000 kilograms

Early in 2011, Capgemini, one of the
world’s foremost providers of consulting,
technology and outsourcing services and
an industry leader and innovator in datacentre
infrastructure design, deployed
Active Power’s PowerHouse system at one
of its newest facilities, the Merlin datacentre
in Swindon. This deployment
contains Active Power’s high efficiency
CleanSource 1500 kVA UPS system, three
continuously rated diesel engines,
transformers, and switchgear within a
fully containerised and acoustically
treated environment.
“With Merlin, we wove together
traditional datacentre requirements such
as security and cost effectiveness with
aggressive sustainability initiatives in our
initial design stage,” comments Paul
Anderson, program director, Capgemini
UK. “For all of our datacentre sites, the
focus is on optimisation that directly
addresses clients’ demand for security,
sustainability and cost efficiency.”

Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry - a
new way of solving old problems
Using a unique and patented Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR) technology, the AcousticEye
Dolphin G3 unit from Netherlands-based AcousticEye International has changed the way
tube inspection is being conducted, WIP has the story.
AcousticEye International of
Leusden, The Netherlands, is the
company behind the AcousticEye
Dolphin G3. Using a unique and patented
Acoustic Pulse Reflectometry (APR)
technology, the unit lets you inspect every
Heat Exchanger tube, regardless of size,
configuration or material, says its
manufacturer.
Its non-traversing technology is said to
be 10 times faster than current inspection
technologies, which rely on physically
traversing every tube. This means you no
longer need to settle for the risky random
sampling of tubes – you can test every
one.
The AcousticEye Dolphin G3 is a
compact, handheld hardware probe which
can be used to inspect internal diameters
of any tube up to 2".
A wide probe is available for internal
diameters between 2"-4”. The probe
injects an acoustic pulse down the tube
and collects the reflected signals that
return. The probe is connected to a
sophisticated software system that
automatically processes and interprets the
signals using Acoustic Eye's breakthrough
signal processing algorithms. The system
generates easy-to-read reports that
pinpoint the location and determine the
severity of every problem.
Because they need to physically traverse
each tube, current common heat
exchanger inspection methods are slow,
prone to breakdown, and often require
the use of specialized or customised
probes.
AcousticEye's non-invasive acousticbased
solution lets you inspect any type
of tube in any heat exchanger in less than
9 seconds, while delivering
comprehensive, objective and actionable
results. The technology detects tube
defects such as corrosion, holes, leaks,
degradation and fouling.
Whereas existing solutions, such as eddy
current, require skilled and certified
personnel to manually interpret the
signals, the Dolphin solution offers
computer-based interpretation that
reduces time and costs, as well as
ensuring consistency and reducing human
error.
In one recent example, the operator of a
geothermal power plant in California
encountered a severe leak in a finned
tube heat exchanger and used an
AcousticEye Dolphin G3 to solve the
problem. Engineers had discovered that
an Isobutane-filled heat exchanger (finned
tubes, 60 ft’ long, 1” diameter, 142 tubes
each) was leaking badly: clumps of frozen
coolant were
observed at the
bottom of one
of the units.
Subsequent
examination of
the tube's ID
revealed severe
corrosion, even
though the unit
was only three
years old.
After full
cleaning, a
single unit was
inspected with
the AcousticEye Dolphin which revealed
the tubes to be in fairly good condition.
The operator then proceeded to inspect
all 22 heat exchangers on site. Several
defective tubes were quickly and
efficiently detected by the operator.
These tubes were then plugged and the
entire bank of condensers was brought
into operation, with no further problems,
reports the company.

SOFTWARE
GIS & outage management
technology for power providers
When Singapore PowerGrid (SPPG), a company responsible for the power needs of over a
million customers, chose to forge a partnership with the Smart grid solutions provider company -
Telvent - functionality and reliability were the key factors in the choice, WIP reports.
Implementing the next generation of
GIS and outage management technology
for power providers is never and
easy task and when Singapore PowerGrid
(SPPG) chose to forge a partnership with
the software company, Telvent, functionality
and reliability were the key factors
in the choice.
Singapore Power currently provides
electricity to more than a million
customers in Singapore. As the sole
electricity company in Singapore, it is also
one of the country’s largest corporations.
One of its largest subsidiaries is SPPG,
appointed to handle the management of
the transmission network and the
operation of the distribution network.
SPPG’s new deal involves the acquisition
of multiple Telvent solutions paired with
Esri South Asia and Microsoft platforms.
Using these, SPPG can now reduce service
disruptions and associated costs caused by
power outages.
SPPG will integrate Telvent’s Responder
Outage Management System (OMS) with its
ArcFM Enterprise GIS. This will assist the
utility with not only sustaining its
System Average Interruption Duration
Index (SAIDI) record, but also with the
management of its daily operations for
the Energy Utilities Network, says the
company.
SPPG will now be
equipped with an
improved outage
management system
which is smart grid
ready.
Telvent’s Responder
solution is built upon the
Microsoft platform, using
Microsoft SQL Server and
the Windows 7 operating
system to provide
seamless integration,
lower cost of ownership,
tighter security and
increased productivity, says the company.
A company spokesman said: “SPPG
conducted its search for a system that
was large enough to meet its growing
infrastructure and found that Telvent’s
broad integration and ability to control
was the right fit for its operations.”
Telvent’s proven expertise in the smart
grid arena also contributed to its
selection to help expand the nation’s
smart grid initiatives.
Telvent's chairman and CEO and chairman,
Ignacio Gonzalez, told WIP: “As a
leading smart grid solutions provider, we
are pleased to be working with Singapore
PowerGrid on this effort. Our selection by
such a highly regarded utility affirms that
Telvent has the best knowledge and
technology to help utilities address their
changing needs.”
Telvent has a number of high-profile
clients relying on its software. One client
is Consumers Energy, one of America’s
largest combination utilities. This utility
provides electric and natural gas service
to nearly 6.5 million residents.
Consumers Energy relies on advanced
technology to reduce outage duration,
optimise crew efficiency and improve
reliability and data quality.
Smart grid solutions company Telvent
was able to provide Consumers Energy
with the ArcFM GIS.
This gave the utility the mapping and
data management capabilities necessary
to improve internal operations, including
outage management.
During summer 2008, Consumers Energy
also deployed Telvent Responder OMS,
which operates as an extension of the
utility's ArcFM GIS to enhance the existing
outage response plan.
It incorporates an outage map with the
utility's physical assets and provides staff
with a tabular, graphic display of the
magnitude and correlation of events. WIP

PlusPetrol Maintenance
Mechanic Manager
stated: “Wood Group
GTS has been very
competitive throughout the bidding and
contracting process and we believe has
the experience to meet PlusPetrol
Energy’s unique requirements. We look
forward to working with them.”
Argentina's Combined Cycle power plants
have both gas and steam turbines
supplying power to the network.
Combined cycle power plants employ
more than one thermodynamic cycle –
Rankine (steam) and Brayton (gas). In a
combined cycle power plant, a gas turbine
generator generates electricity and
the waste heat is used to make steam to
generate additional electricity through a
steam turbine, which enhances the
efficiency of electricity generation.
Additionally, the combined cycles are
characterised by flexibility, quick partload
starting, suitability for both baseload
and cyclic operation, and a high
efficiency over a wide range of loads.
In a second deal, Wood Group GTS has
been awarded a US$11 million, multi-year
contract by Empresa de Generacion
Electrica de Arequipa, S.A. (EGASA) to
supply parts for the two General Electric
MS6001B gas turbines at the 71MW Power
Plant ‘Central Termica Pisco’, in Pisco
Province, Peru.
Under the agreement, Wood Group GTS
will provide Frame 6B combustion and hot
gas path capital parts. The contract will
also provide for operational and critical
spares along with repair of capital parts.
To support this contract Wood Group GTS
will use its advanced parts manufacturing
programme (APM®) to supply the major
capital parts.
EGASA is the main electric generating
company in southern Peru. Adolfo De
Cordoba Velez, Chairman of the Board,
from EGASA told WIP: “We awarded this
contract to Wood Group GTS as they were
able to provide a parts solution aligned to
our operational requirements and r
espected our overall need for a comprehensive
solution. We look forward to
Wood Group GTS delivering in a timely

Pakistan goes for
sugar project
The Asian Development
Bank (ADB) will
underwrite an extra
US$30m contract for a
bagasse-based 80 MW
cogeneration power
plant to be built at
sugar mills near Qasba
Shirin, Jamaldin Wali,
Pakistan. The total cost
of the project is put at
US$135m.
Based on sugar bagasse
as the primary fuel and
with imported coal as a
secondary fuel, the
plant will generate 51.8
MW of electricity. In
addition to supplying
power and steam to the
sugar mills, the plant
will supply electricity
to the national grid.
RWE/Gazprom deal

power plants in Germany,
the UK and the Benelux
countries, said RWE.
GE signs new 40MW Combined-Cycle
Cogeneration plant contract for Rome
Termica Colleferro S.p.A. has chosen GE’s
LM2500+ G4 DLE aeroderivative gas turbine
technology for a 40MW combined-cycle
cogeneration power plant in the industrial
district of Colleferro, near Rome. Under a
€10.5 million contract, GE will provide the
gas turbine plus a steam turbine and
related equipment to replace an existing
installation at the production facilities of
Avio Group’s Space Division there. The new
plant also will supply energy for a heating
system serving nearby industrial facilities.
“This plant is a key part of our efforts to
attract additional technology-based
organizations to the area,” said Oreste
TASSO, CEO, Termica Colleferro S.p.A.
“Such companies place a very high value on
qualities like energy efficiency and low
environmental impact, and the GE technology
addresses those needs. Once it is operational, the
plant will be able to produce 300 GWh/year of
electric energy and 110 GWh/year of thermal
energy, which is important because Italy is a net
importer of electricity. Therefore, we see it in all
respects as fundamental to the growth and
development of exciting new initiatives here.”
GE’s LM2500+ G4 DLE gas turbine brings the
flexibility needed to address today’s complicated
energy, industrial and regulatory requirements. It is
the first aeroderivative unit to combine fast start up
and large power output with high energy
efficiencies regardless of fuel source. Its dry low
emissions technology achieves world-class emissions
performance across the entire operating range from
the instant of start up to full rated power output.
The technology helps utilities take advantage of the
growing trend to use abundant, cleaner-burning
natural gas for power generation. In addition to
being a cleaner-burning fuel and a better fit for
flexible, efficient power generation, emerging
exploration and production technologies are
bringing record amounts of natural gas to market.
This increase in global natural gas production will
help ensure reliable supply and a consistent price
structure, making the fuel an economically viable,
dependable solution, reports GE.
SPX wins US$17m contract from China
The SPX Corp.has confirmed that
its Thermal Equipment and
Services segment won a contract
for US$17 million from the China
Datang Technologies &
Engineering Co. The new deal
involves the manufacture and
installation of an indirect dry
cooling tower (IDCT) system for
the 600 MW DatangWu'an power
plant.The DatangWu'an facility is
a 2x300 MW coal-fired power
plant in the Hebei Province of
eastern China. The two-unit IDCT
system is expected to be operational
early in 2012.The indirect
dry cooling tower system features
SPX's ‘Mega Delta’ technology and
uses a steam surface or jet
condenser, a circulating water
system and fin tube bundles to
dissipate the waste heat using the
natural draft created by the
concrete cooling towers. This
agreement marks the fourth IDCT
contract awarded to SPX Cooling
Technologies in China in recent
years.
Significant advances have been
made over the past few years to
SPX's indirect dry cooling tower
technology, including welded steel
tubes for product integrity and
large tubes for economical and
reliable operation.
As the unit size of power plants
continues to grow, modern power
plants require
higher cooling
performance,
requiring larger
cooling surfaces and
tower sizes. SPX has
responded to this
challenge by
developing a two
level cooling delta
arrangement that is
designed to provide
higher cooling
efficiency at a reasonable cost
and a more economical system
operation.
SPX's Thermal Equipment and
Services segment is a leading
provider of wet, dry and hybrid
cooling towers, heat exchanges,
air and flue gas systems and filter
systems, utilised by thousands of
power stations and plants in more
than 60 countries across six
continents.

MAN Diesel & Turbo technology boosts efficiency
MAN Diesel & Turbo’s MAN B&W ME-GI gas engine premier in
Copenhagen enabled it to present efficiency technologies for its
twostroke engines, namely its WHR (Waste Heat Recovery) systems,
which include its TCS-PTG turbines, and which are offered as an
integrated solution. WHR exploits exhaust-gas energy and can be
used in the production of electricity to cover
a vessel’s electrical needs. All ME- and MCtypes
in MAN Diesel & Turbo’s engine
portfolio are suitable for WHR where the
greater the engine output, the greater the
potential WHR offers and the quicker the
economical return. www.man.eu
Proximity probe with rear & side-view target protection
Condition monitoring specialists SENSONICS have added a new option
to their established range of proximity probes for the power sector.
The probes are said to virtually eliminate the detrimental effects on
measurements caused by both side and rear targets.
The PRSVBeam proximity probe has an innovative tip design which
overcomes the problems associated with traditional probe designs,
such as poor accuracy, system non-linearities and extended set-up
time. The new probe offers a measurement range spanning 0.2mm -
1.7mm and linear within 1% in a 10mm diameter tip probe, providing
micrometre resolution for both critical fluid film bearing vibration
and shaft position applications. Another advantage of the probe is its
suitability for use in ‘blind-hole’
measurement situations where
certain applications restrict the
ability to calibrate the in-situ probe
system.

New Siemens wind turbines destined for Jiangsu, China
Siemens Energy has received an order to supply 21 wind turbines
with an output of 2,3 megawatt (MW) and a rotor diameter of 101
meters each for an offshore project in Rudong County, Jiangsu
province in China.
The customer is Jiangsu Longyuan Offshore Wind Power Co., Ltd. a
subsidiary company of China Longyuan Power Group Corporation Ltd.,
one of the biggest wind power developers in the world. Commercial
operation is expected in late 2011. The scope of supply includes a
five-year service and maintenance agreement.
The 50 MW-project is a break-through in Siemens renewable energy
strategy by securing the first offshore wind power order from China.
"With more than 600 wind turbines with a combined capacity of more
than 1,800 MW installed in European waters, Siemens is clearly the
market leader in offshore. But we also see good opportunities for
offshore wind power in China with its shallow water near the
consumption centers on the coast,” Jens-Peter Saul, CEO of the
Siemens Business Unit Wind Power tells WIP. According to the Chinese
Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA) China will expand its
offshore wind power installed capacity to 5 gigawatts (GW) by 2015
and 30 GW by 2020. “This order is an important step in entering the
rapidly growing Chinese wind power market,” adds Saul.

Emerson’s Ovation saves US$5k-10k in fuel costs
Emerson Process Management has modernised steam turbine controls
at the Houston, Texa-based GIM Channelview Cogeneration LLC plant
with its Ovation expert control system. Benefits to the plant have
included greater operational efficiency and reduced maintenance
costs. GIM Channelview is an 830-MW, combined-cycle (4x4x1) cogen
plant serving Equistar Chemical’s Channelview Complex. It uses four
170-MW Siemens-Westinghouse 501F natural gas-fired combustion
turbines, four heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) and one
Alstom COMAX steam turbine. The Ovation control scheme uses a
temperature and pressure differential
bandwidth to ensure that
the admission steam valve opens
properly in order to release lowpressure
steam back to the turbine
for improved efficiency. This saves
GIM Channelview US$5,000
–$10,000 annually in fuel costs.
