The rise & rise of renewables 

W ORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER • NOVEMBER 2011 

EDITOR’S LETTER 

Looking back a whole year is always interesting. If you are into such 

things, there’s been some pretty impressive data coming out of the 

Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2011 report prepared for 

the UN by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Last year, for example, global investment in renewable 

energy sources grew by 32% to reach a record level of US$211bn (£132bn), a UN study has reported. 

Two of the biggest elements contributing to this included wind farms in China - and rooftop solar 

panels in Europe, it said. 

Economic researchers also discovered that in 2010 developing nations invested more in green power 

than rich nations for the first time since such records began. 

Achim Steiner, executive director of the UN Environment Programme, told WIP: “The continuing 

growth in this core segment of the green economy is not happening by chance. The combination of 

government target-setting, policy support and stimulus funding is underpinning the renewable industry's 

rise and bringing the much needed transformation of our global energy system within reach." 

In 2010, developing economies spent more on "financial new investment", pumping US$72bn into 

renewable projects compared with the US $70bn outlay by developed economies. The figures show that 

China topped the table of investors again, spending US$48.9bn - up 28% from 2009. There were also 

sizeable increases in investment from other developing or emerging economies: 

* Africa and the Middle East: up 104% to US$5bn 

* India: up 25% to US$3.8bn 

* South and Central America: up 39% (from 2009 levels) to US$13.1bn 

As a corollary, researchers did notice a 22% decline in the investment in large-scale projects - such as 

windfarms - within Europe, where the funding fell to US$35bn. 

The figures were also influenced by a rise in small-scale projects, such as photovoltaic (PV) solar 

panels, especially within Germany, where investment in a "micro-solar boom" had increased by 132% to 

US$34bn compared with 2009 figures. As the renewable technologies continued to mature, the report 

added, the cost per megawatt (MW) continued to fall. It said that the cost of PV modules had fallen on 

a per-MW basis by 60% since 2008. 

The reports suggests that there will be - "Further 

improvements in the cost of energy for solar, wind 

and other technologies lie ahead, posing a bigger 

and bigger threat to the dominance of fossil-fuel 

generation sources in the next few years." 

Achim Steiner considers that a number of key 

events will help to maintain the momentum 

towards renewables. "The UN climate convention 

meeting in Durban, South Africa, held between 

November 28th until the 9th of December will be 

followed by the Rio+20 summit in Brazil in 2012. 

Events like these offer key opportunities to 

accelerate and scale-up this positive transition to a 

low-carbon, resource-efficient green economy." 

According to a global study published by the US 

Pew Environment Group, China remains the world's 

leading investor in low-carbon energy technology. 

The table, published by showed that the Chinese 

invested US$54.4bn (£34.1bn) in 2010, up from 

$39.1bn in 2009.

UK Govt offers £1bn to back CCS plans 

Two large energy firms have 

agreed to work together to 

develop carbon-capture and 

storage (CCS) in Aberdeenshire - 

if they can get the funding. 

The UK government said it would 

hand over £1bn to develop CCS, 

which captures emissions from 

power stations and buries them 

under the seabed. 

A pilot project at Longannet in 

Fife was cancelled last month due 

to cost. Now Shell and Scottish 

and Southern Energy want to 

develop the pioneering t 

echnology at Peterhead power 

station. CCS is seen as vital to the 

future of producing energy from 

sources such as coal and gas, as it 

would cut the carbon-dioxide 

emissions which are released. 

The aim is to capture and liquify 

CO2 emissions, which would then 

be transferred via a pipeline to 

depleted oil and gas fields under 

the sea bed. 

Longannet, a coal-fired power 

station, had been the only 


contender in a long-running 

competition by the government 

for a power plant that could 

become the test ground for 

carbon capture and storage. 

Scottish Power, which operates 

Longannet, put the cost at 

£1.5bn. 

The UK government decided it did 

not want to spend more than 

£1bn on supporting the trial and 

pulled away from the project. 

A statement from Shell and 

Scottish and Southern Energy 

(SSE) said their new agreement at 

the gas-fired Peterhead plant 

would ‘accelerate’ a programme 

of design studies. 

They said they would be able to 

begin a full design study in the 

second half of 2012, if they won 

money from the UK government 

or the EU's NER300 fund. 

The Peterhead project aims to 

design and develop a CCS system 

for capturing emissions after 

combustion at one of its existing 

three 385MW combined gas cycle 

turbines. The CO2 would then be 

transported to the Shell-operated 

Goldeneye gas field. 

DeltaStream is now under construction 

This DeltaStream unit - currently being built [below] - is designed to sit on the seabed and generates 

electricity from three separate horizontal axis turbines mounted on a common frame. Wales’ first full 

scale tidal stream energy generator will be deployed in 2012, having secured £6.4m support from the 

European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government. 

Earlier this year, First Minister Carwyn Jones announced the funding for Tidal Energy Ltd’s 1.2MW 

DeltaStream device on a visit to Pembrokeshire’s Ramsey Sound, the site chosen for the demonstration 

project by the Welsh Government and the Department of Energy and Climate Change. 

In total, Tidal Energy Ltd has secured £11m to manufacture and deploy the DeltaStream device, the 

balance being provided by majority shareholder Eco2 Ltd. Cranfield University, which for the past three 

years has provided specialist design support to the project, will continue its research and development 

work and will also play a role in the deployment of the prototype, overseeing condition monitoring and 

the performance of the device. 

Invented by Pembrokeshire engineer Richard Ayre, DeltaStream sits on the seabed without the need for a 

positive anchoring system. It generates electricity from three separate horizontal axis turbines mounted 

on a common frame. The device, which will provide a sustainable source of electricity to homes in the 

city of St Davids during its 12 month demonstration period, has 

been designed to be easily installed and maintained, with minimal 

impact on the environment. 

In its 2010 Low Carbon Energy Policy Statement, the Welsh 

Government suggested that the deployment of tidal and wave 

devices off the nation’s 1,200km coastline could provide as 

much as 4GW of clean, predictable electricity: it hopes this 

could become a reality by 2025. 

The First Minister told WIP: “Investing in renewable energy 

technologies is vital to build a low carbon economy and help 

drive forward Wales’ ambitions to become a more sustainable 

nation. We are committed to promoting the generation of clean 

electricity while protecting our natural environment.”

GE Jenbacher engines 

bought for pyrogasification 

plant in Turin, Italy 

Two Jenbacher J316 engines from GE have 

been bought by the Villanova Mondovi pyrogasification 

plant near Turin, Italy. GE 

reports that the technology deployed for 

the Villanova Mondovi plant, which turns 

waste wood into energy, evolved from a 

similar gasifier project in Grossenkneten, 

Germany. 

The German plant was co-financed by the 

region of Lower Saxony, which produces the 

highest net electrical efficiency ever 

reached by a syngas cogeneration plant in 

this output range - between 27% and 29%, 

depending on the quality of the wood and 

the air used in the process, reports GE. 

The Villanova Mondovi project - with an 

output estimated at 995 kW - qualifies for 

the government’s incentive tariff, which 

encourages the development of smaller, 

geographically-distributed power plants. 

Owned and operated by Italian energy 

company Energia & Calora, the plant was 

commissioned at the beginning of 2011 and 

is supplying thermal energy for a district 

heating network that covers an industrial 

area along with private and public buildings, 

including the local school. 

“The strong teamwork between Pyrox 

GmbH, its subsidiary Pyrox Italia Srl. and GE 

has been a key to the remarkable success of 

this innovative project, which uses 

advanced technology to reach unprecedented 

levels of efficiency and output for a 

plant of this type,” Andreas Marocco, head 

of management of Pyrox Italia told WIP. 

“We are very proud that our project 

supports the country’s efforts to increase its 

energy output while reducing the 

environmental impact by taking advantage 

of abundant fuel sources, such as wood 

biomass.” 

The National Action Plan of Italy calls for 

45% of the country’s cleaner energy to be 

produced from biomass, with 60% of that 

total coming from solid biomass, such as 

wood. There is a strong trend in that 

direction; the use of wood biomass for 

energy production in Italy has increased by 

7% over the last two years. 

“Italy is an attractive market for wood 

biomass power projects, which have the 

strong support of the Italian government as 

the country strives to expand and diversify 

its alternative energy capacity,” comments 

Rafael Santana, president and CEO—Gas 

Engines for GE Energy. He concluded: 

“With its proven high efficiency and low 

emissions, our advanced gas engine technology 

is an excellent match for smaller, local 

projects using local fuels while reducing the 

overall environmental impact.”

Wärtsilä inaugurates new distribution centre in 

Kampen, The Netherlands 

Wärtsilä, a global leader in complete life 

cycle power solutions for the marine and 

energy markets, inaugurated its new spare 

parts distribution centre in Kampen, the 

Netherlands, on November 7th, 2011. The 

Central Distribution Centre was officially 

opened by Wärtsilä's President & CEO Björn 

Rosengren together with Bort Koelewijn, 

the Mayor of Kampen. 

The Central Distribution Centre is the core 

of Wärtsilä Global Logistics Services, and 

integrates eight previously localized spare 

parts warehouses into one global supply 

chain operation. It covers the entire 

material flow from order confirmation until 

the point of delivery at the customer's 

doorstep. The new centre will shorten 

transportation distances, reduce spare parts 

traffic between warehouses, and improve 

management of the entire supply chain. 

Wärtsilä's global service network continues 

to serve the customers with a full range of 

services and repairs. 

"The new centre will deliver spare parts to 

customers and Wärtsilä's 160 service 

locations around the globe. By using one 

global logistics centre, and through the 

creation of a highly efficient logistics flow, 

Wärtsilä is better positioned to serve its 

customers and suppliers. Consolidating 

logistics and warehousing will result in 

faster and more efficient spare parts 

deliveries, 24 hours a day 7 days a week," 

Christoph Vitzthum, Group Vice President, 

Wärtsilä Services, told WIP. 

The new distribution centre began 

operations in December 2010 and will be 

fully operational before the end of this 

year. The facilities cover an area of 37,000 

m2. Wärtsilä's total investment in the new 

distribution centre has been approximately 

€70 million. Once fully operational it will 

have a staff of 140 people. 

The Central Distribution Centre has been 

designed and implemented by Swisslog, a 

logistics solutions provider. CEVA Logistics, a 

supply chain management company, is 

responsible for the shipments and 

operational warehouse handling. 

Wärtsilä Services offers services to both 

the global marine and energy markets and 

operates the most extensive service 

network in the industry. The company's

in carbon emissions. 

The CHP plant, which is gas and dieselfired, 

was commissioned in May 2011. 

NBC says the plant meets 99% of its energy 

requirements and guarantees a constant 

power supply in an area where grid power 

is often problematic.

DUNEA, the Dutch drinking water company, currently provides 1.2 

million people of South-West Holland with drinking water. The water 

is caught in the sand dunes and purified in three pumping stations. 

The renovation of Dunea’s energy supply installation in 

Scheveningen led to the project being awarded to Belgium’s 

leading supplier of power solutions, E. VAN WINGEN NV, (EVW). 

Existing power supply problems on the Scheveningen site were 

solved by erecting two new pump houses in which four diesel

gensets had to be integrated. The project was gigantic and took 

two years to implement. From the two pump houses fresh water is 

distributed to consumers. 

To guarantee supply an emergency power provision was required. 

After stringent screening of the tenders EVW was selected to carry 

out the engineering, construction and installation of the 

emergency power supply, including providing a fuel supply 

pipework, as well as a power control system. 

In case of mains failure Dunea can remain operational with the back 

up of four emergency diesel generators installed in the two pump 

houses. 

EVW selected the Perkins 4012 diesel engine to be at the heart of 

each 1475 kVA genset. The four units supply enough power to enable 

Dunea to guarantee the catchment, purification and distribution of 

water into the supply network. Providing the power control system 

to safeguard power supply and data communications was of 

particular importance to Dunea. 

Unlike other traditional mains failure projects the emphasis was less 

on deliveries and installation than on engineering. EVW’s 

engineering department, with five experienced designers, has been 

running at full steam delivering a piece of highly professional and 

state-of-the-art project, reports the company. 

For EVW this was again an opportunity to confirm its position as a 

reliable high end supplier in the Netherlands after its first major 

breakthrough with the power backup systems supplied to the high 

speed train tunnels for Siemens.

If hydrocarbons supplies run out, we’re 

in trouble. More importantly, if our 

existing supplies are in terminal 

decline, we’re in almost as much trouble 

anyway; and much sooner. If our ability to 

extract fossil fuels declines to uneconomic 

levels, it really doesn’t matter how much 

is actually down there. 

So how much is down there and how 

long will it last us? Estimates, 

unsurprisingly, vary a lot. Many 

governments consider estimates of their 

supplies as state secrets. Undaunted, 

many academics attempt to make 

predictions even with this incomplete 

information. For oil we’ve got maybe 30 

to 40 years left according to a 2011 study. 

But more importantly, as alluded to 

before, peak oil extraction is probably 

more important and may have already 

been and gone. 

It is highly likely that once this decade is 

out we will have reached it, if we haven’t 

already, and we will have already begun 

to see the negative effects of oil’s 

transition from a demand-led to supplyconstrained 

commodity. “The age of 

cheap liquid fuels is over,” claims the 

report. 

Estimating coal and natural gas supplies 

are more complicated. The industry Oil 

and Gas Journal estimates them at 417 

years and 167 years, respectively. 

Unfortunately, as with its 43 year 

estimate for oil these figures are likely 

overly optimistic. 

As the report highlights, exporting 

nations and industry have significant 

incentives to conceal and distort their 

figures. These estimates should be 

considered with some scepticism. 

Scientific blogger, Raphaël Van Laer, has 

calculated fossil fuel reserve depletion 

estimates based on 2009 reserve and 

production (R/P) ratios supplied by the US 

Energy Information Administration (EIA). 

His model estimates depletion by around 

2070 for oil, 2061 for natural gas and

This completely new family of 

engines features highly-advanced 

technology for clean combustion 

and limited emissions without the use of 

after-treatment systems, while 

simultaneously enabling remarkable 

performance levels to be reached. 

The excellent power and torque in 

relation to the engines’ compact size and 

the absence of particulate abatement 

systems (such as DPFs) translate into clear 

advantages for all OEMs who can now 

replace their current engines with lowerdisplacement 

units and, at the same time, 

enjoy the benefits of reduced fuel 

consumption and longer maintenance 

intervals, since no filter regeneration is 

required. 

Fully optimised to meet market 

demands, the design was developed using 

the most advanced technology currently 

available, says Kohler.

(2000 bar) Common Rail system 

of the latest generation, combined with

GEN-SETS 

New gen-sets developed by 

Kohler/Lombardini 

Kohler is releasing a new line of KDI (Kohler Direct Injection) diesel engines in preparation for 

new regulations on emissions which are soon to take effect (final TIER 4, above 19 kW in the 

KDI 

1903 TCR

US; Stage IIIB, above 37 kW in the EU). WIP has the story. 

exhaust gases (which are 

liquid-cooled by a water/air 

heat exchanger), enables 

emission levels to comply with 

the new regulations while 

providing exceptional 

performance - and all without 

the use of after-treatment 

systems. 

Kohler/Lombardini have 

chosen the most advanced 

common rail system available 

on the market. It’s specifically 

designed for extreme 

durability and resistance to 

the highly severe conditions of 

operation that are typical of 

applications in the industrial 

and building construction 

sectors. The high pressure pump 

operates at 2000 bars. This feature, 

combined with G3S solenoid-type 

injectors, enables fuel optimistion during 

injection. 

The 4 valves per cylinder system used 

was designed to house the injector in a 

perfectly vertical position at the very 

center of the combustion 

chamber. This solution optimises 

fuel filling, atomisation and 

mixing with oxygen in the 

chamber. 

The intake manifold and the 

combustion chamber were 

developed with thorough fluiddynamic 

(CFD) analysis for 

maximum combustion efficiency. 

The waste-gated turbocharger 

has been specifically tuned to 

minimise the turbo-lag response 

and provide the precise volume 

of air for an excellent low end 

torque capability. Specific oil 

control devices also allows for 


the required lubrication of the turbine 

shaft for long term durability. The use of 

a charge air cooler is required to ensure 

the correct air inlet temperature for the 

optimal engine performance whilst 

achieving emissions compliance. 

The exhaust gas recirculation system, 

which is the product of a painstaking CFD 

analysis, consists of two cooling stages 

that optimise heat exchange without 

increasing overall size. Also, its position 

on the hot side effectively prevents the 

EGR valve from jamming, which ensures 

maximum reliability. 

The Common Rail injection system and 

the electronic control unit required for 

controlling it are both of the latest 

generation. They were specifically developed 

for heavy-duty applications in power 

and industry sectors.

MONITORING 

Monitoring gen-sets using the 

WebSupervisor iPhone app 

One of the biggest problems in the standby power sector is getting information on condition status 

to people on the move. ComAp has, accordingly, introduced its new ComAp WebSupervisor 

iPhone app to allow registered gen-sets to be directly monitored by iPhone. WIP has the story. 

The operation and maintenance of 

power generation equipment is a 

costly business, monitoring of that 

equipment is often key to keeping such 

costs under control, reports ComAp. 

ComAp recognises that while some 

companies have the luxury or centralised 

monitoring and control suites, sometimes 

it is important to get information directly 

to people on the move. 

This is where the new ComAp 

WebSupervisor iPhone app comes in. 

‘Simply visit the Apple App store and 

download the app onto your iPhone,’ says 

the company. Within minutes you are 

able to monitor your registered gen-sets 

directly from your iPhone, it reports. 

Has that rental set you have on the 

building project in town flagged up 

that maintenance is due? - The 

WebSupervisor iPhone app will alert you! 

Is someone stealing fuel from your 

remote cell-tower standby generator up in 

hills? - The WebSupervisor iPhone app will 

alert you! 

What if the Low Oil pressure alarm 

comes up during automatic test on the 

standby set you maintain at the local 

shopping centre? - The WebSupervisor 

iPhone app will alert you! 

The WebSupervisor iPhone app utilises 

Apple’s ‘push notification’ technology to 

get you regular updates from your 

monitored sets direct to the application. 

This is designed to give the user 

reassurance that power generation assets 

are performing correctly right in your 

pocket. 

If you want more information or simply 

want to review the fleet at any time the 

WebSupervisor iPhone App gives you direct 

access to your WebSupervisor account and 

all registered sets from anywhere your 

iPhone has a signal. 

The WebSupervisor iPhone app is part of 

ComAp extensive range of communications 

products and options all aimed at 

getting you ‘simply connected’, so you 

can focus on the important things, such as 

controlling costs or quickly fixing the 

problems as they arise. 

The simple interface makes at a glance 

review of assets easy. Fleet managers, 


site engineers, infrastructure managers, 

equipment owners, investors, service 

managers or service engineers all benefit 

from this highly connected approach to 

management of equipment.

Alfagy’s Greenhill Dairy Farm Biogas plant is the first such 

facility in Northern Ireland in 20 years to provide sustainable 

heat and power for homes and businesses, reports WIP. 

The Greenhill Dairy Farm Biogas 

plant is the first plant in Northern 

Ireland in 20 years to provide 

sustainable heat and power for homes and 

businesses. 

The power station mimics a cow’s 

stomach and cooks animal waste at 40°C 

(104°F) to produce methane gas. The gas 

is then piped into two engines that drive 

generators while hot water is also 

produced for drying plant waste, called 

digestate, and to pasteurise milk. 

This use of waste to produce valuable 

energy shows how rural areas and 

agriculture can function sustainably. 

Power derived from cow dung and grass 

silage cuts power prices for all consumers 

and decreases agricultures carbon 

footprint. 

Additionally, the unit will reduce 

Northern Irelands reliance on fossil fuels 

and prevent volatile energy prices whilst 

bringing new jobs to this rural area. 

The 700-acre Greenhill farm delivers 

grass and animal waste from some 600 

cows to fuel the plant. Looking like a 

giant muffin, the plant produces 430 Kw 

of electricity per hour - enough to supply 

some 430 homes with electricity. Alfagy 

was selected by the developer for the 

project as the Combined Heat and Power 

(CHP) and gas conditioning supplier after 

a competition against GE Energy, MWM 

and MAN. The project faced challenges in 

getting funding from a bank during the 

financial crisis that is still raging 

internationally. However, Alfagys’ high 

level of quality and service convinced the 

bank to grant a development loan. This is 

considered something of an 

accomplishment in the current climate 

according to Peter Kindt, Alfagy 

chairman. 

"Given the current credit crunch, this 

project is certainly an important 

demonstration of a sustainable energy 

future. The deciding factor for the 

finance of the project was our plant’s 

world beating efficiency that produced 

1.8 million more revenue than the 

competition. Our payback is simply the 

fastest in the market,” adds Peter Kindt. 

The Ardstraw power plant will be the 

52nd biogas power plant in the UK and 

only the second in Northern Ireland. 

More farmers in Northern Ireland are now 

considering similar projects, reports the 

company.

UPS Systems has installed a direct 

methanol fuel cell (DMFC) at the 

UK Environment Agency’s Woolston 

Weir fishery to monitor the movement of 

eels. 

The aim is to help conservation work by 

providing power to telemetry and CCTV 

equipment at an ‘eel pass’ to monitor the 

endangered creatures’ journey upstream 

to fresh water. 

To gauge the success of the new eel 

pass, the Environment Agency has 

installed a monitoring and telemetry 

system at the Woolston site, which uses 

CCTV to record and monitor the eels’ 

journeys providing data about its success. 

To provide power to the eel pass, UPS 

has installed an EFOY Pro 2200 DMFC 

alongside two load-carrying batteries 

hooked up in parallel. The DMFC acts as a 

charger to ensure the batteries are kept 

at optimum voltage at all times. 

The system provides continuous power 

to a water pump that oxygenates a 

holding tank where the eels are counted 

and checked. It also powers a webcam 

and the telemetry system. 

The EFOY Pro 2200 is said to offer 38% 

more power than the EFOY Pro 1600; it

the ‘eel-good’ factor 

UPS Systems has installed a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) at the UK Environment 

Agency’s Woolston Weir fishery to monitor the movement of eels. Key to the system is an EFOY 

Pro 2200 DMFC alongside two load-carrying batteries hooked up in parallel, reports WIP. 

generates 90W of electricity and is said to 

be suitable for a range of prime and 

standby power applications. 

The EFOY Pro 2200 [see right] is 

regarded by its manufacturer as a ‘plugand-play’ 

solution - customers do not 

need special expertise to install it. “EFOY 

has proved that, in some situations, its 

fuel cells can save users up to 90% in 

operating and maintenance costs, so the 

argument for investing in fuel cell 

technology continues to grow,” comments 

UPS Systems’ Managing Director Tom 

Sperrey. 

The EFOY Pro 2200 is described as robust 

and doesn’t require maintenance, so it 

can be left alone for long periods. For 

example, an EFOY Pro 2200 using a 28litre 

methanol cartridge can power a 50W 

traffic signal serial blinker for 26 days, 

while a traditional battery can only power 

it for one day. 

Like other fuel cells in the EFOY range, 

the EFOY Pro 2200 can be used in hybrid 

installations which take advantage of 

renewable energy sources such as solar or 

wind. Such configurations recharge the 

batteries that power electrical 

equipment. This makes the EFOY Pro 2200 


suitable for standby power applications 

and for operation in remote areas where 

there isn’t easy access to the grid, says 

UPS Systems. The EFOY Pro 2200 can be 

located outside, and can operate in all 

weather conditions. 

The manufacturer of EFOY fuel cells, 

Smart Fuel Cell AG, has shipped more 

than 16,000 fully commercial products to 

industrial and private end users for more 

than six years. It has created a convenient 

supply infrastructure for its fuel 

cartridges, which deliver week-long 

autonomous energy and can be obtained 

from more than 1,400 sales points in 

Europe [www.sfc.com]. 

SFC Energy AG is a market leader in fuel 

cell technologies for mobile and off-grid 

power applications serving the leisure, 

industrial and defence markets. As one of 

Germany’s technology pioneers, SFC has 

won numerous innovation awards. Unlike 

most other fuel cell manufacturers, who 

are in the research and development 

phase or run subsidised demonstration 

projects, SFC has shipped more than 

21,000+ fully commercial products to 

industrial and private end-users since 

2007.

SE Generation, a generation business 

of Scottish & Southern Energy, has 

invested £240m to install flue gas 

desulphurisation (FGD) equipment at its 

2,000MW Fiddler’s Ferry power station in 

Cheshire, UK. It has also done the same 

for half of the capacity at its 2,000MW 

Ferrybridge power station in South 

Yorkshire. 

The plant can now operate in line with 

the limits on sulphur-dioxide emissions 

contained in the Large Combustion Plan 

Directive (LCPD). 

The FGD equipment means the stations 

can use higher-sulphur coal mined in the 

UK. As a result, SSE has entered into an 

agreement with UK Coal for 3.5 million 

tonnes of deep and surface-mined coal 

from UK. SSE's plant at Slough has a 

current generating capacity of 80MW and 

is the UK's largest dedicated biomass 

facility. 

Cutting back emissions by using biomass 

is also at the core of another new project

initiated by SSE Generation. It has 

received the go-ahead from the UK 

Government to develop a £250 million 

($400 million) biomass and waste project 

within its Ferrybridge coal-powered 

station in West Yorkshire, UK. The plant 

will generate 108 MW of electricity and 

will provide heat to SSE’s existing 

Ferrybridge power station. The facility 

will use a range of feedstock, including 

biomass, waste-derived 

fuels and waste wood to

generate heat and electricity. Scottish & 

Southern plans to complete the plant in 

early 2015. 

The company says that the construction 

of the new plant is not designed to 

replace the 1000 MW of capacity of the 

existing power station at Ferrybridge, 

which is due to close in 2015 due to the 

introduction of the Large Combustion 

Plant Directive (LCPD), which aims to 

reduce the emissions from combustion 

plants. SSE introduced new technologies, 

which have reduced emissions from two of 

its existing units, to meet LCPD standards 

but this is not possible for the existing 

plant in Ferrybridge. 

Ferrybridge C power station is capable 

of co-firing biomass and is currently being 

fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation 

(FGD) plant a key technology used to 

remove SO2 from the exhaust flue gases 

of fossil-fuel power plants [see diagram

of liquid bio-fuelled CHP and 

tri-generation systems in 

Europe, providing green 

electricity, heating and cooling 

from end-of-waste renewable 

fuel. 

The 278kW CHP system at 

Harrogate International Centre 

has enabled the low carbon 

development to become the 

greenest conference and 

exhibition destination in 

Europe. 

It will provide sustainable 

electricity and heating for a five-hall 

conference centre, Holiday Inn Hotel and 

council offices. 

The Tesco superstore in Welshpool has 

been installed with a 300kW trigeneration 

system which provides 

electricity, heating and cooling for the 

entire store and exports electricity to the 

national grid. 

As a preferred supplier of renewable 

energy to Tesco, Fleetsolve’s CHP has 

been the pivotal technology for a number 

of Tesco developments, including the 

world’s first Zero Carbon store in Ramsey, 

Cambridgeshire. 

Keith O’Connor, Fleetsolve’s Managing 

Director, told WIP: “We have worked 

closely with Harrogate Council to design a 

bespoke CHP system which not only 

satisfies the client’s needs, but has 

exceeded all their expectations; our 

client is now aiming to attain an 

‘Excellent’ BREEAM award for the 

building.” 

He said: “Fleetsolve is committed to 

helping Tesco fulfil its pioneering goal of 

becoming a ‘Zero Carbon Business’. Our 

CHP systems having been generating 

millions of kilowatt hours of green energy 

for Tesco stores across the UK, and their

Microturbine company Capstone 

Turbine Corporation says it has 

benefited from a long-term 

factory rental programme for its C65 units 

for two long-term rentals from 

distributors serving the oil and gas 

market. 

“Our long-term rental program is 

designed to specifically target the Oil & 

Gas sector and Telecom companies that 

frequently deploy clean and reliable 

energy solutions while they build out 

permanent infrastructure,” comments 

said Jim Crouse, Capstone executive vice 

president, Sales and Marketing. 

Just last month Capstone Turbine 

Corporation’s Canadian distributor, 

Horizon Power Systems, sold three C1000 

Power Packages to Genalta Power Inc. in 

Canada. 

The C1000 Power Packages will be 

fuelled by gas captured from refinery 

flares. 

Today, a number of refineries, landfills, 

and wastewater treatment plants flare 

waste gas into the atmosphere, 

which increases CO2 gas emissions and 

global warming. 

Capstone microturbines are an ideal 

solution since they use the waste gas to 

produce reliable and clean renewable 

energy onsite. 

"Genalta is committed to converting 

waste energy sources into power that can 

be used at client sites or sold back to the 

grid," comments Graham Illingworth, 

Genalta CEO. 

"The three C1000s will help the 

processing plant lower its energy costs 

and emissions," said Todd Taylor, Horizon's 

Vice President and Corporate Account 

Manager in Canada. 

"The province of Alberta, Canada, has 

strict regulations to reduce gas flaring

among various industries. The Capstone 

microturbines will play a key role in 

helping the plant meet those regulations." 

In May 2010 Capstone received an order 

for a C1000 from developers of a 2,300unit 

luxury apartment complex in South 

Korea. This was the first sale of a clean 

and green Capstone C1000 power package 

in South Korea. 

Capstone distributor Samsung C&T 

Corporation, headquartered in Seoul, sold 

the C1000 to Poong Lim, a construction 

and engineering firm. The C1000 has been 

installed in a Combined Heat and Power 

(CHP) application at Exllu Tower PJT in 

Daejeon, one of South Korea's largest 

cities. 

In addition to generating one megawatt 

of electricity at Exllu Tower, waste-heat 

energy from the turbine is captured to 

produce domestic hot water for the 

complex, which features six separate 50- 


C1000 Power 

Packages from

storey buildings spread across 416,000 

square meters. Emissions savings at the 

complex are expected to be equivalent to 

removing 700 cars from the road or 

planting 730 acres of forest. 

"This is one of the largest building 

complexes to ever use a Capstone 

turbine," said Jim Crouse. 

The C1000 is said to be extremely quiet 

and is a small, modular energy system, 

which makes it an ideal installation in 

residential areas like apartment 

complexes. 

The C1000 is a compact and robust one 

megawatt power system which is said to 

provide the same low emissions, low 

noise, high efficiency and extended 

maintenance benefits of Capstone's C30, 

C65 and C200 offerings.

supported by 

the California 

Energy 

Commission 

(CEC) and 

Southern 

California Gas 

Company 

(SoCalGas). 

"Our 

investment in 

Tecogen's low 

emissions 

research will 

help large 

industrial 

facilities meet 

energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and 

air quality goals," US Energy Commission 

Chairman Dr. Robert Weisenmiller, told 

WIP. 

The InVerde Ultra is described by 

Tecogne as the ‘first and only natural gas 

engine-driven CHP system able to operate 

within the extremely low levels of 

regulated pollutants allowed by the 

distributed generation regulations for 

2007 set by the California Air Resources 

Board (CARB)’. 

The InVerde Ultra 100 emissions not only 

meet, but exceed the stringent CARB 2007 

regulations by utilising technology 

developed under a California Energy 

Commission (CEC) sponsored research 

program (co-sponsored by Sempra 

Utilities’ Southern California Gas division). 

A second development - Tecogen’s 

InVerde INV-100 Premium Power CHP 

Module - is also described as a ‘further 

step’ in modular cogeneration. The 

InVerde INV-100 delivers important new 

additional benefits, says the company. 

The InVerde INV-100 Module retains 


many of the same design concepts and 

philosophies from Tecogen’s established 

CM-60 and CM-75 Cogeneration Modules. 

These include the use of Tecogen’s 

advanced and proven engine technology, 

which offers the highest overall 

efficiencies, significant operating cost 

savings, ultra-low emissions controls, and 

practical long-term serviceability. 

The InVerde INV-100 incorporates some 

revolutionary new features that create 

new classes of applications, and beneficial 

opportunities for building owners. 

In the InVerde INV-100, the engine is 

coupled to a permanent magnet 

generator, instead of to a traditional 

induction-type electrical generator as in 

the CM-60 and CM-75. 

The electrical output from the INV-100’s 

generator is then fed through an inverter, 

which conditions the power to make it 

suitable for interconnection to the local 

utility grid.

August 2011 saw microturbines 

and a biogas treatment plant upand-running 

in Brandenburg, 

Germany, for the very first time. The 

new facility was built by CHP specialist 

Greenvironment which installed a microturbine 

CHP plant in the 24,000 square 

metre Barsikow biogas park. 

A company spokesman commented: “The 

thermal energy in the exhaust gas stream 

of the microturbine is being used as 

process heat for the biogas treatment 

plant. 

“The treatment is based on the principle 

of chemical scrubbing (amine scrubbing). 

The aim is to provide an autonomous 

process heat supply for the treatment 

plant through a heat-controlled combined 

heat and power plant with integrated 

microturbines,” he said. 

The electric current generated is fed 

into the network of the local power 

supply company. Here, microturbines with 

their high thermal efficiency offer a clear 

competitive advantage, which 

significantly increases the overall economic 

efficiency of the biomethane 

production, reports Greenvironment.

Warschaw, Poland. 

Dalkia Polska S.A. is owned by 

IFM - Industry Funds 

Management and Dalkia 

International SA controlled by 

both Veolia Environnement SA and 

Electricité de France SA (EDF). Dalkia has 

been doing business in Poland for over 14 

years, managing the production and local 

distribution of energy in almost 40 cities, 

including Lodz and Poznan, respectively 

the second and fifth-largest in the 

country. 

Dalkia Polska and Greenvironment plan 

to establish combined heat and power 

plants (CHP) based on microturbines. 

Dalkia will provide its own sales network, 

service team and operations facilities to 

market, operate and service 

Greenvironment CHPs in Poland. 

Greenvironment will deliver the 

technology and supports on specification 

as well as commissioning. 

The contract confirms that both parties 

will first establish a pilot site in order to 

explore the best technological and 

economical opportunities. The initial 

target projects are natural gas 

installations of up to 1 MW electrical

GE’s PowerOnFusion Distribution 

Management System (DMS) has 

been chosen by Flemish electric 

and gas distribution utility, EANDIS, to 

power its smart grid project. 

The EANDIS smart grid project seeks to 

improve grid and operational efficiency 

and integrate renewable energy to help 

meet the European Union’s goal of 20% 

carbon reduction by 2020, part of the 

European Union’s 20/20/20 initiative. 

“GE’s integrated solution at EANDIS will 

provide a constantly evolving evergreen 

platform capable of meeting the changing 

requirements of the smart grid and the 

low-carbon economy,” Luis Maria Perez, 

general manager at GE Digital Energy, 

tells WIP. 

“With more reliable, efficient and 

cleaner energy comes a more attractive 

environment for business and consumers— 

helping to spur economic development 

and improve lifestyles.” 

GE’s PowerOnFusion DMS technology 

integrates traditional utility distribution 

functions such as network management, 

outage management and regulatory 

reporting with emerging low carbon technologies 

like embedded generation and 

energy storage all in a single platform.

SMART GRIDS 

Smart Grids: Improving the grid 

power reliability in Belgium 

EANDIS is deploying GE’s PowerOnFusion Distribution Management System to drive one of 

the world’s latest Smart Grid Projects - helping the European Union to achieve its full and 

GE & EANDIS - bringing Belgium 

a Smart Grid. 

ambitious 20/20/20 Carbon Reduction Goals. WIP has the story. 

EANDIS is behind a number of energy 

initiatives in Belgium. 

The software’s architecture and 

functionality have been designed to 

service all users in their own working 

environment. The result of the seamless 

integration and flexible architecture is 

streamlined business operations, 

increased workforce productivity and 

improved quality of service for 

consumers. 

The underlying design concepts of 

PowerOnFusion also acknowledge the 

business criticality of electricity 

distribution, the need for real time useability 

speeds and for 24 x 7 operational 

availability. In 2010 EANDIS selected 

EnergyICT to help test 

EANDIS’ smart metering 

concept and deliver a 

new metering 

infrastructure and meter 

data management 

system. 

This initiative marks 

the beginning of 

Belgium’s transition from 

its traditional energy 

transmission and 

energy distribution 

infrastructure to the 

Smart Grid age. These 


grids of the future are modernised 

electricity grids able to meet the 

increasing demand for energy and 

incorporate alternative energy sources in 

addition to conventional power plants. 

They will also be equipped with 

information technology in order to 

monitor energy consumption and 

production in real-time, while 

continuously harmonising fluctuating 

supply and demand loads. 

In order to make all this happen, smart 

meters will need to provide the smart grid 

with realtime information, says EANDIS. 

If the first pilot proves to be successful, 

a second pilot of 40.000 meters will 

follow. Both projects will cost a total of 

€135 million. 

Should both projects receive a positive 

evaluation, a complete smart meter rollout 

is planned to start in 2014. 

By 2019, every household in Belgium will 

be equipped with a smart meter, bringing 

the cost of the total smart metering 

project to €1.5 billion. EnergyICT’s contract 

is worth around €4.65 million, says 

the company.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan 

about the European Wind Energy 

Markets, finds that the market 

earned revenue of US$19.18 billion in 

2010 and estimates this to reach US$42.48 

billion in 2017. The application sectors 

covered in this research service are 

offshore and onshore wind energy. 

“Europe’s wind energy market is 

primarily driven by the European Union’s 

renewable energy agenda to meet 20% of 

its energy needs through renewable 

sources by 2020,” notes Frost & Sullivan 

Research Analyst Neelam Patil. 

“The high growth potential of offshore 

wind energy, coupled with the emerging 

markets of Central and Eastern Europe 

(CEE) are attracting investments in the 

European market.” 

Wind energy will remain a significant 

contributor to the European Union (EU) 

member states’ energy portfolio, as they

ECONOMIC REPORT 

Wind market downturn in 

recovery says Frost & Sullivan 

The European wind energy market is just starting to recover from the economic downturn in 

2009, says a new report from Forst & Sullivan. As demand stabilises, steady growth is forecast. 

The market is poised for greater consolidation with fewer but stronger participants. 

attempt to achieve the EU 2020 target. 

Germany, Spain and France continue to 

install more wind power facilities and are 

planning to exceed their targets and 

provide the surplus energy to the other 

EU member states. The United Kingdom is 

relying heavily on offshore wind 

development to achieve the 2020 target. 

The scenario was not so promising a year 

ago. Lowered demand for wind energy, 

due to the economic slowdown and 

overcapacity in the market, drove wind 

turbine energy prices to their lowest 

levels in 2010. 

Additionally, escalating price wars 

between new entrants from Asia and 

European wind turbine manufacturers 

forced inefficient players to exit the 

market. Offshore wind technology remains 

a grey area, with practical aspects like 

operating, maintaining and servicing 

offshore wind turbines in winter yet to be 


proven. The CEE region is set to emerge 

as a low-cost, low-technology market. 

This will make it an attractive market for 

Asian manufacturers. 

“While the western European market is 

difficult to enter, the emerging markets of 

CEE will be driven more by price than by 

technology, thus posing low barriers to 

entry,” adds Patil. 

“For offshore technology, the timing is 

important; although having a track record 

is critical. Companies that wait too long 

for others to lead and prove the 

technology, run the risk of missing out on 

growth opportunities.” 

In the mature western European market, 

companies need to deliver not only the 

best technology, but also outstanding 

service packages to maintain or acquire 

market share. In the emerging CEE 

markets, wind turbine manufacturers will 

need to be extremely efficient and costcompetitive 

to be able to sustain price 

wars. 

Early movers in the offshore wind segment 

will benefit from capturing a significant 

market share and building their track 

records. In addition, they will gain vital 

experience in seeking financing for offshore 

wind farms. 

“European manufacturers will have to 

continue producing technologically superior 

wind turbines at competitive prices,” 

concludes Patil. 

“They can exploit their technology 

leadership position to develop advanced 

offshore wind turbines with higher 

capacities, which will allow them to reap 

benefits through market share leadership 

and economies of scale.”

One of the largest electricity 

providers in Morocco, Tenesol 

operates via a subsidiary called 

Temasol which is supplying, installing and 

maintaining PV systems. Established in 

2002, Temasol operates 14 offices in the 

country and employs more than 80 people. 

In addition to the rural electrication 

project, Temasol also provides solar water 

pumping systems, solar generators for 

remote telecommunications infrastructure 

and grid connected PV systems across the 

country. 

The 50 Wp, 75 Wp and 200 Wp rural 

electrification systems (depending on 

which Solar Home System the customer 

choses) consist of a PV panel connected to 

a battery. 

This allows households to store energy 

during the day and use it at night. 

Temasol also installed power sockets to 

offer easy connection for lighting, 

televisions, radios and refrigerators. 

More than 1.6 billion people in the world 

live without access to electricity, the vast 

majority of whom live in rural areas. 

40 

PHOTOVOLTAIC 

Inexpensive energy all 

thanks to Tenesol’s PV systems 

Tenesol is bringing power to more than 163,000 people in Morocco - and to Mexico’s colleges - 

for the first time. In its 16-year Morrocan project, for example, the company will install systems 

at more than 26,000 homes and will complete its work in 2018 at a cost of €25 million. 

Morocco enjoys plenty of sunshine: Tenesol PV 

systems offer a cheap and effective source of 

power for the rural inhabitants. 

The Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) in Iztapalapa 

features Tenesol’s turnkey solar installations. 

Morocco’s rural provinces are home to 

around 45% of the country’s population. 

Across the Atlantic, Tenesol last month 

delivered five turnkey solar installations 

to Mexico - all bound for educational 

establishments. 

One of these - located on the rooftop of 

the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana 

(UAM) in Iztapalapa [above and right] - is 

the country’s largest education 

installation. 

The system comprises 286 photovoltaic 

(PV) panels and has a 60 kWp capacity. Its 

primary function is as an 

educational tool, 

offering students 

practical, hands-on 

experience and 

understanding of how 

this renewable energy 

functions. 

Julien Fayat, sales 

manager at Tenesol 

Mexico, the company’s 

wholly-owned subsidiary, 

believes a lack of 

government-led 

incentive or FiT in 

Mexico has caused a rise 

in the use of solar 


energy for education and marketing 

purposes. 

“The solar industry in Mexico is 

diversifying,” Mr Fayat tells WIP. “Rural 

off-grid systems - the country’s 

predominant solar market - are no longer 

the only application for solar energy. 

Systems are instead being used as an 

education tool or marketing device, to 

promote an eco-friendly corporate image. 

Education is a key focus for Tenesol.” 

The five education projects that Tenesol 

Mexico has provided turnkey solar systems 

for are located in schools and universities 

across the country. They range in size 

from 2 kWp to 60 kWp. The UAM solar 

system, for example, is situated on the 

rooftop of the Energy Department.

Richardson, Director of Research & 

Development for SOLON 

Corporation, told WIP. 

“By testing different types of 

storage methods and technologies 


such as lithium-ion batteries under various 

environmental conditions, our intelligence 

will provide utilities with precise guidance 

on the correct storage solution for them, 

as well as an integrated PV system.” 

Saft’s advanced Li-ion energy storage 

system (ESS) has also been selected to 

support a new energy storage project on 

the Big Island of Hawaii. Saft will provide 

an ESS comprising two Intensium Max 20E 

containers. The battery will work in conjunction 

with ABB’s PCS 100 Power 

Conversion System to support the “Hawaii

EMKAS’s 1000 Program of IP65 compression latches 

Designed for genset applications, EMKA’s 1000 Program of IP65 

compression latches now encompasses a full range of lockable T 

handle, Wingknob, Square key & L handle variants, with shaft extensions 

to suit unusually deep door frames up to 95mm. This extensible 

shaft variant provides additional depth capability and also permits 

manual clamping adjustment by means of a threaded feature at the 

inner end. This enables the compression action to be fine tuned by 

adjusting the shaft mounted lock nut. The 1000 program compression 

latches (IP65) provide a 6mm axial clamp function so that after 

closing, when the lock is turned for its first 90° the tab is rotated 90° 

then stops, as the lock is turned a further 90° this rotation is translated 

into linear motion bringing the 

tab 6mm toward the door, thus clamping 

firmly onto the door frame. This 

action ensures a very high degree of 

vibration resistance, says EMKA.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES 


Borri’s ECO UPS Systems & new FXS range 

Borri’s range of ECO UPS systems provides maximum efficiency without 

compromising on performance and all come with output 

transformers as standard, which makes them flexible across a wider 

range of applications. Delivering the highest levels of protection, 

Borri’s transformer range of UPS solutions achieves high efficiency 

even in permanent online dual conversion mode. 

A typical transformer-based UPS operates at around 88 percent 

efficiency at full load, while Borri claims its ECO UPS transformer 

solutions are 95 percent efficient. 

Though seven percent may not sound much, over a five year period 

the difference on a 100kVA UPS could mean savings of a massive 

£18,000 in energy consumption costs. 

Proving its superior efficiency credentials, the ECO range of three 

phase UPS equipment from Borri is the only transformer-based type 

to have made it onto the UK government’s Energy Technology List 

(ETL). The ETL is part of the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme and 

a key plank in the Government’s programme to fight climate change 

by providing tax incentives for businesses investing in equipment that 

meets energy-saving criteria. 

Although Borri’s UPS units have stayed true to tradition of Italian 

craftsmanship, it is in UPS software development where the company 

is pushing the boundaries to achieve even higher levels of efficiency. 

Its recently developed B9000FXS and B9600FXS series, incorporates 

an innovative Smart OnLine (SOL) technology option, which gives end 

users the option to achieve even greater efficiency levels of up to 98 

percent. Borri’s new FXS range also 

incorporates a sophisticated load 

based shutdown (LBS) function, 

designed to maximise the efficiency of 

parallel redundant installations. 

Businesses that utilise the LBS function 

can significantly increase the 

efficiency of the UPS solution and 

therefore reduce power usage and 

lower energy bills.
