NEWSIn brief...Fossil fuel/renewables win over UK nuclear powerTognum to acquireAggretechThe specialist propulsionand power solutions companyTognum is to acquire75.1%of the shares in theBavarian manufacturer ofpower generator setsAggretech, subject toapproval by thecompetition authority.Aggretech produces dieseland gas-based powergenerator sets for itsseries systems business,but also offers customerspecificsolutions. Thisinvolves installing theengine, generator andsystem control unitmounted on speciallymanufactured base framesinto individually designedcentral energy plants.Most recently, in July2011, Tognum signed acontract with Aggretechfor the delivery of 50 20V4000 gas-based powergenerator sets.GE’s US$200mcontract for Saudipower stationA US $200m contract hasbeen won by GE to supplysteam turbine technologyto covert Saudi ElectricityCo.’s (SEC) PP10 powerplant from simple to combined-cycleoperation.Around 1,300 MW will beadded to the plant’scapacity. GE is selling 10of its SC series steamturbines specifically forthe PP10 combined-cycleexpansion. GE formerlysupplied 40 7EA GasTurbines for the PP10 site.Eng. Ali Saleh Al Barrak,president and CEO for SECsaid: “The conversion tocombined-cycle operationis part of our growth planto add an average of4,000 megawatts of powereach year, with a vision ofdoubling the grid capacityby the year 2020.”Two of the UK’s ‘big six'’ energy companies havepulled out of multi-billion pound plans to developnew nuclear plants leaving Britain's long-termenergy policy ‘in tatters’, say critics.RWE npower and E. ON announced last month theywould end their joint venture to build nuclearpower plants in Britain, a move which has left the£15 billion 'Horizon project - which would developreactors at Wylfa in North Wales and Oldbury-on-Severn, Gloucester - effectively dead.The German-owned companies, which operate fossilfuel and renewable generation in the UK, said theywere looking for a new owner for the HorizonNuclear Power. The utilities had planned to build upto 6,000MW of new nuclear plants in Britain by 2025and had been due shortly to announce a reactordesign choice for Wylfa,the first new plant.The decision was madebecause of the globaleconomic crisis andsignificant costs of theproject, they added.Despite pulling out ofnew nuclear, E.ON said itUK says no to nuclear?would continue to develop its £736m HumberGateway offshore wind project and its £120mbiomass plant in Sheffield, and had invested £1bn inthe past year in the UK including in highly efficientgas plants and renewables. RWE npower alsostressed it had invested £1.2 billion in newrenewable energy in the UK in the past three years.£2.5bn investment in renewable energyBritish companies have announcedplans to invest a total of £2.5bnin renewable energy projects,according to the UK Departmentof Energy.The plans could create almost12,000 jobs across the countryaccording to research by theDepartment of Energy andClimate Change.It came as as the Governmentreaffirmed its commitment tomeeting the European Union'sSilver Sponsorship at AMPS & IPEE Awards DinnerApril 18th, Hilton Metropole NEC,Birmingham: Power professionals,company excutives and theirguests, industry agents, dealersand distributors will be attendingthe AMPS/IPEE Dinner.

SHAREWATCHChina’s big spending plansMore than 100,000 MW of old U.S. coal-fired power plants will continue to operate until2042 rather than using the latest ultrasupercriticals instead, explains WIP’s Chris Hopkins.China is pushing the U.S. off theworld's centre stage. This transitionis clear when one analyzes thepower generation plans.In the 2010-2020 timeframe, China willoutspend the U.S. on new generators byUS$550 billion. But they will gain 496 GWof generating capacity compared to only14 GW in the U.S. These are the newconclusions in the McIlvaine Fossil &Nuclear Power Generation: WorldAnalysis & Forecast.Industrial production and energyconsumption are directly proportional.California will continue to limitconstruction of new generators within thestate, but will buy enough goods fromChina to fund generation increases in thatcountry.China will build more coal generationfacilities in the decade than existed in theU.S. at its peak.The U.S. will invest US$30 billion inenvironmental controls and life extensionof its existing coal-fired power plants, butwill be handicapped by the inefficiency ofthese power plants.They will burn 20% to 30% more coal perkWh than will the ultrasupercritical plantsoperating in China and Europe. The priceof coal is slated to rise substantially inthe coming decade. Since coal is thelargest component of generation cost, thisinefficiency will be increasingly costly.The U.S. has shale gas which will replacemost natural gas as fuel for gas turbinesin the coming years. Nevertheless, therewill be only modest investment in newcombined cycle gas turbine plants through2020. The long term EIA outlook is for gasto grow from 24% of the fuel used forpower generation in 2010 in the U.S. to 27percent in 2020. In the meantime, coalwill fall from 45% to 39%.It is clear that more than 100,000 MW ofold U.S. coal-fired power plants willcontinue to operate for the next 30 yearsor more.

FROST & SULLIVANCogeneration - a brighterfuture for the nations of Europe?Robust government backing encourages long-term investments and Germany, Italy and Spain havealready made considerable strides in building a policy framework to support cogeneration, arguesFrost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Pritil Gunjan in this economic analysis.High investments in equipment andlow payback periods of up to 5 to7 years notwithstanding,cogeneration is all set for a revival inEurope between 2014 and 2018.Most countries across Europe areexpected to increase their cogenerationcapacity, mainly in the combined cycleform.New analysis from Frost & Sullivan,European Cogeneration Market, finds thatthe market earned revenues of €548.1million in 2011 and estimates this toreach €674.3 million in 2018.Europe aims to meet its environmentaland energy-efficiency targets throughgradual developments in cogenerationtechnology, skills and supply chain. Powerplants are particularly keen to invest incogeneration because governments providebenefits for companies with highercogeneration potential.“Investment in cogeneration units is alsofairly dependent on the cost of generatingelectricity,” says Frost & Sullivan IndustryAnalyst Pritil Gunjan.“Stable energy prices are essential toconvince end users to make the rightenergy investment decisions and assurethem that it is a sound strategy to rebuilda cogeneration base.”Cogeneration is the solution of choicefor end users that have a rising need forlarge-scale power and supporting heat. Itis a cost-effective system; in addition, thetechnology and skill required for settingup a cogeneration project is commerciallyavailable.The development of CHP is heavilyinfluenced by energy supply-side policiesand government regulations that aredirected towards energy consumers.Policy, tax, electricity reforms and tradingarrangements are necessary to nurturecogeneration. Tax benefits will beparticularly useful in the currentenvironment of economic uncertainty andunclear returns. The market will also bepegged back by the delays caused byinterconnection issues.Nevertheless, rising concerns overclimate changes and increasing consciousnessabout the environmentalimpact of fossilfuels offset all theseissues. They haveprompted the EuropeanCommission to plan forcollective energypolicies and promoteenergy efficiencydirectives. Thecombined heat andpower (CHP) directive, emission creditsand new emission reduction technologiesare crucial to the success of cogenerationin Europe. Under the CHP directive,Germany, Italy and Spain have madeconsiderable strides in building a policyframework to support cogeneration, whileGermany has set itself a target to doublecogeneration capacity by 2020.“The effective implementation of CHPpolicies and a focus on creatingfavourable conditions for cogenerationdevelopment are likely to drive themarket in Europe,” notes Gunjan.“In 2011, the EU identified cogenerationas the energy application that can makethe largest-single contribution toachieving the region's greenhouse gasreductions, giving a huge thrust to themarket.”European Cogeneration Market is part ofthe Energy & Power Growth PartnershipServices program, which also includesmarket research into: Western EuropeanGas and Steam Turbine Market, GlobalPower Generation Forecast 2011, GlobalPower and Energy Outlook 2011.WIPInternet linkwww.energy.frost.com12M ARCH 2012 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

EMISSIONSEmissions mitigation:taking the DeNOx pathAuxiliary & ignition burners.In 2011, ERC delivered the first solid commercial SNCR plant for a pulverized hardcoal firedboiler of 650 t/h, once again confirming itself as one of the market and technology leaders inEurope for DeNOx plants for flue gas denitrification, reports WIP.ERC GmbH is one of the leadingdevelopers and manufacturers ofadditives, process additives andequipment technology for the combustionof fossil and biogenic fuels.The company has - with somejustification - earned a reputation as oneof the market and technology leaders inEurope for DeNOx plants for flue gasdenitrification.One of ERC’s specialist areas is in thefield of Low NOx Power Burners. Duringthe use of liquid or gaseous fuels forpower generation in combustion plants,pollutants are formed that are emittedwith the flue gas.Some of the main pollutants, whose formationcannot be completely avoideddespite optimised combustion methods,are nitrogen-oxides (NOx).Depending on the quality of combustionand the fuel used, carbon-monoxide (CO)can also form.For this reason all industrialisedcountries have adopted laws whichrestrict the formation of nitrogen oxideand carbon-monoxide emissions.With regard to combustion the followingapplies: the higher the NOx emissionlevels, the lower the CO emissions, andvice versa.Low NOx PowerBurner.Built in a low-NOxversion ERC performanceburners meet all currentemission requirements.A low-NOx burner isable to operate with lowNOx emissions and alsowith low CO emissions.The main features ofERC power burners arethe triple air-staging andthe internal flue gasrecirculation.Due to their specialconstruction, ERC powerburners have very low pressure losses inthe combustion air, says the company.In addition, it is also possible to adjustthe setting of all regulating devices duringoperation which significantly speeds upthe commissioning and set-up times.ERC manufactures power burners whichcan be operated either with fresh air orwith gas turbine exhaust.DENOx Plants: When burning coal,petroleum products, natural gas as well asdomestic and hazardous waste for energyproduction pollutants are created, thatare emitted with the flue gas.Thus, significant amounts of nitrogenoxides (NOx), one of the main pollutants,forms despite optimized combustion.Through the reaction of nitrogen-oxideswith other atmospheric constituents,ozone is created and leads to theso-called summer smog.Other reaction products such as nitricacid, reach the water and soil with theprecipitation in the form of acid rain. Theresulting nitrate accumulation has anegative impact on humans, plants andanimals. For these reasons almost allindustrialised countries have adopted lawsto restrict nitrogen-oxide emissions.Burner for special combustion.As aGas firing.company, ERCspecialises inthe development&manufactureof a number of Oil firing.highlyefficientdenitrificationsystems,individuallytailored fordifferentcombustion plants.

LINE IMPEDENCELine impedence? Justmeasure it with OMICRONPrecise line parameters are required for distance protection relays & power system calculations.When performing mathematical determination of line impedances, multiple simplification stepsare taken which do not apply in practice, says Rainer Luxenburger and Wernich de Villiers.The CPC 100 + CP CU1 measuringsystem enables measurement of lineimpedances with a level ofprecision that goes far beyond anycalculations. This allows the distanceprotection and fault locators to be set upprecisely.Setting up distance protection equipmentproperly requires knowledge of thecorrect line impedance values. Line-tolineimpedances can often be calculatedwith acceptable accuracy.Line-to-ground impedances, on the otherhand, are influenced by physicalcharacteristics present such as metalpipes or neighboring cables in the groundand cannot be mathematically calculatedsufficiently accurately.This is because these calculations arebased on perfectly straight cable conduitsand homogenous ground with constantconductivity – conditions which are rarelyfound in the real world. The impedance ofa line-to-ground loop is thereforecalculated extremely inaccurately.A protective device shuts down thesystem if a short circuit occurs in thesection it is assigned to monitor. However,if a protective device cannot be set upSignificant deviations: Comparison between the imprecise, mathematicallydetermined values and the zero-sequence impedance values actually measuredwith the OMICRON system.correctly, it may also react improperly tofaults outside the protected section. Thiscan cause lines to be shut downunnecessarily, which in turn can lead topower cuts for the end customer.Imprecisely adjusted fault locators alsogive inaccurate readings of the distanceto the respective fault. In these instances,repair crews cannot be sent to preciselocations, and this increases both thetime required to carry out themaintenance work and the associatedcosts. On the other hand, if the lineimpedance is measured correctly, distanceprotection and fault locators can beaccurately adjusted. It is important tonote that the difference between themeasured values and the calculatedvalues can be quite considerable here.For example, the calculated parametersof a protective relay which disconnectedthe wrong line section from the powersystem after a fault occurred were testedby actual measurement, which can beseen in the table shown.The measurement with the OMICRONCPC 100 + CP CU1 system highlighteddeviations of 48% between the imprecise,mathematically determined values andthe zero-sequence impedance valuesactually measured.The CPC 100 from OMICRON is the idealsolution A total of seven measurementscan be performed to accurately determinethe impedances of a system.These consist of three for line-to-lineloops, three for line-to-ground loops andone for all three lines connected inparallel to ground.The measurement results can then beused to gain reliable data for adjustingprotective relays and fault locators. Withthe CPC 100 and the CP CU1, thesemeasurements provide precise values, asfrequency-selective measurement eliminatesany connected interference.The time and costs required to actuallyperform the measurements are alsoradically reduced, since portableelectronic generators can be used in placeof the devices weighing several tons.The OMICRON testing device offers asignal generator, power amplifier,measurement technology, and a PC in asingle unit.The coupling unit CP CU1 and itsgrounding box CP GB1 also secureoptimum protection throughout themeasurement process.WIPInternet linkwww.omicron.at28M ARCH 2012 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

TRAININGVirginia City Hybrid Energy Center-Training is key to first-time runningThe new US-based 585MW Virginia City Hybrid Energy Center is part of Dominion’sresponse to meeting a projected growth in demand for electricity of 4,000MWs from its customersby 2017, or enough electricity to power one million homes. WIP has the story.The Virginia City Hybrid EnergyCenter [right] - a US$1.8 billionproject - is apparently ‘well onschedule and on budget’ for commercialoperation by July 2012.Construction began in 2008, is now 98%complete, following the November 2011‘First Fire ‘ - a key milestone in thecommissioning process for 585MW stationFossil fuels, such as coal, oil and naturalgas, are non-renewable sources of energy.Dominion's fossil-fueled power stationsgenerate more than 40% of the powerprovided to its customers.“Top-quality training, a dedicated workforceand advanced technologies are thekeys to being a pacesetter in fossil-fuelgeneration,” a company spokesman toldWIP.Since coal-fired power stations producegases and airborne particles known as flyash, Dominion has a comprehensiveapproach to protecting the environment.Its power stations use a variety oftechniques to reduce harmful emissions,including electrostatic precipitators andsystems that reduce nitrogen oxide, suchas selective catalytic reduction.The 585-megawatt Virginia City HybridEnergy Center is part of Dominion’sresponse to meeting a projected growthin demand for electricity of 4,000MWfrom its customers by 2017, or enoughelectricity to power one million homes. Itwas five years ago in 2007 when The ShawGroup Inc. was first awarded anengineering, procurement andconstruction contract to develop the siteby Dominion.Once the plant is up-and-running VirginiaCity will be one of the cleanest powerstations of its kind. The circulatingfluidised bed unit will use coal and up to20% biomass for its fuel. A Virginia Techeconomic impact study concluded that thestation will generate about US$440 milliona year in tax revenues and other benefitsfor Wise County.The station will provide nearly 1,000jobs during construction and require apermanent staff of more than 75 peopleonce it begins operating. It will createabout 350 mining jobs. Dominion has provideda task-tailored comprehensive training& education programme for all itsworkers, as well as full health & safetytraining.[Left] David A. Christian, chief executiveofficer for Dominion Generation, whichoperates electricity-generating stationsfor Dominion Virginia Power, told WIP:"First fire back in November 2011 proveda major milestone for the Virginia Cityproject and signified a shift fromconstruction to a station focused onexcellent operations."He said: "There have been manytalented and dedicated people who haveworked over 12.5 million hours to get tothat point. This sets the stage for successfulproject completion in the Summer of2012."Initial cleaning, heating and testing atVCHEC will be performed using fuel oil.Part of the activity surrounding first firingwill be the release of steam – calledsteam blows – which is a commontechnique used to clean the piping beforesteam is sent to the turbines that spin thestation's electric generator.Advanced circulating fluidized bed technologyis proven clean-coal technologythat also enables the using of run-of-minecoal, waste coal and renewable energysources, such as wood waste.

HYDROPOWERMore energy from theCanate Hydropower Station, ItalyIn the upgrade of a 40-year-old small hydropower station in Genoa, Northern Italy, the Energyoperator IREN SpA chose Cummins Generator Technologies to provide a 11MWA AvK®synchronous generator via Troyer AG, responsible for the refurbishment project, reports WIP.In the heart of a mountain lies theCanate hydropower station. It issituated at the key point where energyis derived from a pipeline providing drinking water to the city of Genoa, innorth-west Italy on the Gulf of Genoa, anarm of the Ligurian Sea.Genoa is Italy's chief port and a majorcommercial and industrial centre with alocal population of 616,000.The electricity generated by the plant isexported to the nearby electricity gridwhere it makes an important contributionto energy supplies.Troyer AG, a leading hydro solutionsspecialist was commissioned to overseethe sourcing, delivery, installation andstart-up of the power generationequipment – a package involving aturbine, synchronous generator andswitchboards.A low speed Pelton turbine was chosenfor the installation, with a stainless steelrunner designed to be mounted directlyonto the extended generator shaft.Cummins Generator Technologies waschosen to supply the synchronousgenerator – AvK® DIG171 - because of itsreputation for a long lifetime of reliabilityin small hydropower applications.Although the rated speed specified was750rpm, the generatordesign needed to withstandrunaway speeds of1350rpm for 10 minutes.To support the highradial load forces(164kN) from theturbine, the generatorwas mounted on aspecial designed steelbase frame with apedestal sleeve bearingon the drive end.A hydrostatic jackingoil system ensured highpressure oil lubrication ofbearings during start up and shut down ofthe generator.The generator was also equipped with atop-mounted air-to-water heat exchangerto provide for efficient cooling.During the installation work at thepower station, a major challenge wastransporting the generator through anarrow 200-metre long access tunnel foroffloading in the turbine hall.To overcome the 3.8-metre heightrestrictions of the tunnel, the generatorneeded to be loaded on to a low-leveltrailer and the top-mounted water coolerremoved. A truck then slowlymanoeuvred the trailer down through thetunnel.The AvK® generator successfullycompleted operational testing and therefurbished hydropower station is nowoperational - providing parallel power tothe local grid.Local geography plays its part in makinga hydropower station possible. The Alpsare the youngest and highest mountainsystem in Europe. They stretch across thewestern and southern part of thecontinent in a broad arc and are utilisedby a number of countries for theirhydroelectric potential.The mountain range starts near theMediterranean Sea on the borderbetween France and Italy. Then it curvesnorth- and eastward through northernItaly, Switzerland Liechtenstein, southernGermany, Austria and Slovenia. Thissection of the Alps is over 260 km wide.The highest peak, Mont Blanc, situated onthe border between France, Italy andSwitzerland, rises 4,807 metres high.

COGENERATIONClarke Energy suppliesJenbachers for Perth AirportAs part of a $120m development, a cogeneration system will become a key component of anenergy efficiency overhaul at Perth Airport in Western Australia. Clarke Energy is supplying &installing a 4MW cogeneration plant at a new terminal with 2 MWe high-efficiency gas engines.Clarke Energy, provides total gas-toenergysolutions ranging from thesupply of gas generation equipmentas the distributor of GE Jenbacher gasengines. It is also well-known for itsturnkey delivery of highly-efficient gasfiredpower plants ranging from from 1 -60MWs.The company is working on severalAustralian projects currently underway todeliver trigeneration plants, including forPerth Airport, the Alice Springs Hospitaland the Queensland Children’s Hospital.Clarke Energy is targeting 500 MW oftotal generation capacity installed orunder contract in Australia by the end of2011.Decentralised gas-fired cogenerationplants can reduce carbon emissions by upto 60%. By comparison, conventionalelectricity generation only converts anaverage of 30–35% of the energy potentialcontained in the fuel into electricity,while the rest is lost as waste, heat and intransmission losses.Cogeneration or combined heat andpower (CHP) systems are configured toproduce both electricity and useful heat.GE Jenbacher CHP systems utilise heatproduced during the combustion of thegas in the engine and can facilitateprocess efficiencies of more than 90%.Cogeneration is an efficient form ofenergy conversion achieving primaryenergy savings of roughly 40% by using agas engine CHP as opposed to separateelectricity and heat generationequipment.Cogeneration plants are typicallyembedded close to the end user andtherefore help reduce transportation anddistribution losses.As governmental pressure mounts onthe engineering and constructionindustries to reduce their carbon footprint,the efficiencies and energy returnsfrom cogeneration and trigenerationschemes are proving itto be the energy resource ofchoice.GE’s Jenbacher gas enginescan utilise the waste heataccrued during an engine’soperation when producingelectricity.The heat produced can bedelivered through variousmediums, including warmwater (for space heating andhot water systems), steam orhot air (for commercial, hospital andindustrial uses).Trigeneration, the production of electricity,heat and cooling in one singleprocess, is also possible with the use ofabsorption chillers.Trigeneration is an attractive option insituations where all three needs exist,such as in commercial buildings, hospitalsand production processes with coolingrequirements.A key parameter of an optimised cogenerationor trigeneration plant is the highestpossible electrical efficiency. GEJenbacher is an engine manufacturerfocused on research and development,solely for gas engine technology.As a result, the company can guaranteean electrical efficiency of well over 48%.This provides energy savings of up to 40%when compared with the conventionalmeans of electricity and heat generation.From the Surat Basin in Queensland to thecentral business district of Sydney, GEJenbacher has been the gas engine ofchoice for decentralised power generationin Australia.WIPInternet linkwww.clarke-energy.com38M ARCH 2012 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

GEN-SETGen-sets to the rescue:DEIF’s role in post-tsunami JapanMost people remember Japan’s devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, but few knowthat it was DEIF Power & Control Technology which delivered a sophisticated AGC PlantManagement system for the vast emergency grid set up to supply the Hitachinaka area.Following the critical failure andradiation leaks at the Fukushima INuclear Power Plant, theHitachinaka area of Fukushima region wasleft without regular power supplies.Japan’s government turned to the DEIFGroup’s engineers and developers toprovide a ground-breaking PlantManagement power solution in a formatnever seen before, as fast as possible.The DEIF solution involved providing 64gen-sets producing 130MW; the plant isable to supply an average of 300,000households annually.According to DEIF, ‘the beauty of AGCPlant Management lies in the simplicity ofits basic principle, lifting genset controlfrom single units to plant level, enablingadvanced control and protection for largesetups from one central point ofintelligence.’AGC Plant Management incorporatesplant power factor control at connectionpoints, scaling, load profile prioritiesroutines, and uses fan control to reducefuel costs.The system uses the plant’s generatorsto black start large step-up transformerswith the push of a button. The solutionhas a proven ratio of up to 1:27 betweenthe generator and the transformer, costoptimisingblack starts in both island andfixed power mode by limiting the need forhigh voltage breakers.With a dedicated plant communicationstructure, SCADA systems are keptseparate from the control system. As aresult, the system’s performance is notcompromised and on-site installation canbe reduced to a minimum, says DEIF.When operating in fixed power mode,the AGC Plant Management system assignsgenerators their most fuel-efficient powersetpoint. If a generator trips or fails todeliver the required amount of power, theother generators automatically departfrom their optimum setpoints to fill theproduction dip untila new generatorstarts up. With thenew generator properlysynchronised,the generatorsreturn to their originalfuel-optimisedsetpoint.Today, the PlantManagement systemat Hitachinaka canhandle up to 16 gridconnection points,eight bus tie breakers and 256 generatorbreakers. Developed not just with an eyefor safety but for fuel-saving andoptimised maintenance intervals as well,the strategy for a set of 64 generators,for instance, could reduce fuelconsumption by as much as 18,000 litresof diesel a day on a continuous use basis.The above features are standard in theDEIF AGC Plant Management Controllerwhich was released commercially in late2011, following more than three years ofintensive research and testing at sitesacross South America, Africa, and Asia.For some years now, DEIF has beenresponding to a growing market demandfor temporary and emergency plants toprovide support for remote locations withlimited access to distribution, disasterrelief and other unscheduled outages aswell as large industrial facilities.DEIF’s aim has been to optimise powermanagement for these types of setups.DEIF’s guiding principle is to explorenew approaches to power control andcreate innovative, cost-effective, andCO2-friendly solutions, reports thecompany.WIPInternet linkwww.deif.com40M ARCH 2012 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER

PLANT OPERATIONSPlant operations: selecting a highqualityturbine oil is keyVarnish can have a significant detrimental impact on gas turbine operation, but by selecting theright oils companies can help minimise its build-up and extend gas turbine life, reportsVyacheslav Romaschenko of ExxonMobil Lubricants and Specialties.Varnish is a catch all term fordeposits found in gas turbineoperation either in the form ofsludge or varnish. According to a recentExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialtiessurvey of 192 gas turbine power plantswith a combined total of 626 gas turbines,approximately 40% reported current orhistorical varnish issues within six years ofoil service life.Estimates put the current cost of autility trip or no-start to be US$100,000per event, but these costs are expectedto increase dramatically as the same turbinesare dispatched for back up torenewable energy generation. Inrefineries, the economic impact of aturbine trip can be measured in millionsof dollars.These problems are often perceived asunavoidable. However, clients should bemade aware that the selection of an oilspecifically formulated to minimise theimpact of varnish, together with improvedmaintenance strategies, may extend gasturbine/oil service life.Compared to 20 years ago, there is nowmuch greater awareness of varnish issues.Based on limited experience, some clientsmay hold the incorrect view that newertechnology turbine oils have causedincreasing amounts of gas turbinehydraulic varnish. However, direct fieldexperience, combined with test rigcomparisons, confirms that advancementsin some turbine oil formulations haveimproved turbine oil life with less varnishgeneration. For example, ExxonMobilLubricants & Petroleum Specialties hasdemonstrated that newer turbine oilshave performed with improved reliabilityin the same service as older, nowretired turbine oil formulations.Understanding how varnish is made andits impact should provide plant personnelwith tools to enhance equipment reliabilityand allow them to focus on operation.ExxonMobil Research and Engineering hasdesigned and constructed turbine oildevelopmental test rigs, called ValveVarnish Rig Test (VVRT), that simulate realworld service. These test rigs are used todevelop next generation turbine oils andto evaluate oils in use today.The key to trouble-free operation isselecting a high quality turbine oil whichhas been validated in field-like conditions.Using the proper prediction tools willoffer years of reliable operation. Butselecting the right oil is not a simplechoice, and clients should work withexpert lubricant manufacturers and oilanalysis providers who have theapplication expertise needed to helpvanquish varnish.WIPInternet linkwww.mobilindustrial.com42M ARCH 2012 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER
