Cogeneration deserves
better and more effective
support measures
Steve Hodgson
Editor, COSPP
cospp
ogeneration (CHP) is a proven,

cost-effective and energy-efficient
solution for delivering electricity
and heat, while renewable sources
provide clean and secure fuels for producing
electricity and heat. Powerful synergies exist
when the two work together, but the standalone
benefits of each technology are undeniable. So
concludes yet another pro-cogeneration report
Cogeneration and Renewables: Solutions for a
low carbon future published earlier this year by
the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Yet the issue of combining the benefits of CHP
with those of renewable energy technologies
reveals the unequal impact of market support
measures for each technology family. In
many parts of the world support measures
have successfully stimulated the growth of
renewables. But with CHP/cogeneration we still
seem to be discussing the design of support
measures or, worse yet, identifying the market
and regulatory barriers that still exist.
The IEA itself did a good deal of work on
support measures for CHP a couple of years
ago (COSPP s coverage, including a feature
on the topic in the JulyAugust 2009 edition,
can be found at www.cospp.com). The agency
surveyed policy measures, identifying those
that had boosted CHP adoption rates in various
parts of the world and those that had proven
ineffectual, in an effort to encourage other
countries to adopt measures that work.
It is unclear how much impact the IEAs
research has had, but two reports issued in the
last few weeks suggest that the United States, at
least, still has some way to go in formulating its
own effective policy measures.
Making Industry Part of the Climate Solution
(also reported in the news pages of this issue)
tackles barriers to the growth of CHP in the US
industrial sector. It suggests that requiring power
utilities to procure quantities of CHP, through the
creation of a federal energy portfolio standard
that includes CHP, would see industrial CHP
capacity more than triple from 28 GW in 2010 to
about 90 GW in 2035. The report adds that the
proposed measure would be the most politically

acceptable option for promoting energy
efficiency in the industrial sector.
The US-based International District Energy
Association (IDEA) proposes in its latest report
CHP: Essential for a Cost-Effective Clean Energy
Standard that any clean energy standard in the
US should include CHP as an eligible technology
alongside renewables, maybe nuclear and
any other technologies which may be deemed
advantageous and clean. All very positive for
CHP but for the moment its just a proposal for
a policy measure being supported by the district
energy industry. Meanwhile, annual increases in
wind power generation capacities continue to
break records around the world.
In an age of growing acceptance that
expensive fossil fuels cannot be used as
wastefully as they have been in the past, and
while a renewable energy industry is being
created at some public cost, a technology that
increases the efficiency with which fossil fuels are
used and that can also be used with renewable
fuels deserves more effective support.

Comment
Gas and grid measures

support decentralized
energy in the US
David Sweet
cospp
his column will focus on

a couple of provocative
energy
regulatory
developments in the US
from Washington. The first has
to do with the release by the
Department of Energy (DOE) of
its preliminary report concerning
production of shale gas. Earlier
this year President Obama had
asked Secretary of Energy Chu
for an advisory report on shale
gas and the production process
known as hydraulic fracturing
(fracking). Reasonably priced
natural gas supplies are critical
to the development of CHP and
decentralized energy projects. The
revolution in shale gas production
has led to rapid expansion of gas
production and a lower and more
stable commodity price.
The DOE report drew fire from
environmental groups as well
as industry, which means that
perhaps the panel is not too far
off the mark from where it needs
to be to assure that these supplies
are produced safely, cleanly and
in a manner that allows the US
economy to take full advantage of
this new found wealth. Regulation
of shale gas production in the
US is accomplished through a
combination of federal, state and
industry oversight. There have
been highly publicized allegations
regarding water contamination
and sloppy production practices
that need to be addressed in a
meaningful way. The DOE report
should go a long way in making
these production practices even
safer and more transparent.
The other key regulatory
development has to do with
transmission planning and cost

allocation. One of the ongoing
challenges
for
decentralized
energy is that the true system-wide
benefits of decentralized power
are not usually accounted for in
the decision process. The WADE
Economic Model attempts to
quantify some of these benefits,
such as the avoided investment
in transmission and distribution
facilities and carbon dioxide
reduction, and often finds that
decentralized energy is in fact less
expensive than the centralized
alternative when the full cost
impact is examined.
In a major regulatory shift
announced by the US Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC), this situation may soon
be partially addressed. FERC
recently issued a landmark policy
order that has the potential to
create opportunities for gridscale renewable projects as
well as smaller-scale distributed
generation, energy
efficiency
investments and other non-wires
alternatives to the construction of
new transmission facilities.
Order No. 1000 significantly
changes how interstate electric
transmission companies plan
to meet their system needs and
how they allocate costs to their
customers. The order requires
each public utility transmission
provider to work within its
transmission planning region to
create a regional transmission
plan that identifies transmission
facilities needed to meet reliability,
economic, and public policy
requirements (such as state
mandated renewable portfolio
standards). The net effect is that

transmission costs will be allocated
more widely and the benefits of
local power production will need
to be considered as a realistic
alternative to the buildout of new
transmission.
As in most cases, the issuance of
a generic policy pronouncement
is only significant if it is carried
forward
and
implemented
effectively on a system by system
basis. Every transmission utility will
need to participate in a regional
transmission planning process and
submit a filing to show how it is in
compliance with the requirements
of the order. If proponents of
decentralized energy projects are
to capture the benefits of the new
rule they will need to make sure
that it is implemented according
to its letter and spirit.
The net impact of both
developments
should
be
overwhelmingly
positive
for
decentralized energy. The trend
for power production is clearly
moving away from centralized
coal generation and towards
natural gas and distributed power
projects. In fact, California has
announced a goal of 12 GW of
locally produced energy by 2020.
While more policy changes will be
needed to reach such lofty goals,
these are important steps along
the way.

METSO WINS ORDER FOR BIOMASS CHP IN GERMANY
Metso is to supply Heizkraftwerk

Zwickau
Sd
with
a
modularized biomass power
plant for CHP production in
Zwickau, Germany.
The CHP plant will be
delivered by the Metso-Wrtsil

joint venture MW Power and
encompasses a complete
turnkey solution including not
only the entire plant but also
all on-site installations and
training. The value of the order

is about 20 million (US$28
million) and the plant will
connect to the grid in late 2012.
Forest residues and wood
based landscaping material
will be used for fuelling.
When it has been brought
into operation, the plant will
produce up to 10 MW of
district heat for the Zwickau
municipality area and up to
5 MW of electricity for the grid.
The
plants
commercial
viability is boosted by the
German
ErneuerbareEnergien-Gesetz (EEG), a law
that provides fixed feed-in
tariffs for electricity produced
from renewable sources and
secures the payback period of
the investment.
This will be MW Powers
eighth delivery of such a
complete modularized CHP
plant to Germany.
RED launches New Jersey CHP project

Recycled Energy Development (RED) and
National Gypsum Company (NGC) are to
develop a CHP project at NGCs wallboard
production facility in Burlington, New Jersey, US.
The project will produce about 3.4 MW of
clean electricity and deliver more than 210,000
MMBtu (62 GWh) of thermal energy, resulting in
an overall efficiency of greater than 90%.
RED received a US$1.36 million grant from the
state to support the CHP project.
Funding was made available through the
Clean Energy Solutions ARRA CHP Program, a
www.cospp.com
cospp
grant programme supported by the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and
jointly developed by the New Jersey Economic
Development Authority (EDA) and the New
Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Grants
provided through the programme are to be
used for CHP facility installation and upgrade
projects in New Jersey.
The NGC project will increase industrial
productivity, generate clean power, and reduce
carbon dioxide emissions, said Sean Casten,
REDs president and CEO.
German CHP
microturbine
plant order
Greenvironment has won
an order from BioEnergie
Zehnebeck to build a 400
kW microturbine plant at
a dairy farm in Gramzow,
near Prenzlau in Germany.
Manure will be fed
into the biogas plant to
produce gas for heat and
electricity generation, with
the Greenvironment CHP
plant using microturbine
technology. To achieve
a better utilization of the
plant, leftover food from the
dairy farming and silage
can also be added.
In this biogas project,
two coupled 200 kW
microturbines
will
be
used, with the generated
electricity sold to the local
utilitys grid. The hot exhaust
stream of the microturbine
is used to heat a fermenter
and nearby buildings.
As well as microturbines,
the new system includes
a technology container
consisting of a control
cabinet, a gas conditioning
module (45 kW) and a
heat supply unit (450 kW
thermal output at 7090C).
All required permits are in
place and commissioning
is
scheduled
for
December 2011.

CANADIAN CARDBOARD MAKER

PLANS 140 MW COGEN PLANT
ROMANIAN HOSPITAL ORDERS CHP

MICROTURBINE
Atlantic
Packaging,
a
cardboard
manufacturer
based in Toronto, Canada, is
to submit a formal proposal
to the Ontario Power Authority
in September for building
and operating a 140 MW
cogeneration power plant next
to its two paper mills.
The project would be
combined with a smaller one
proposed by Northland Power
for the waterfront Redpath
Sugar
property.
Together,
the two plants would add
185 MW to the citys power
Romanian
energy
service
company HospMed Project has
ordered a 200 kW natural gasfuelled Capstone microturbine
as part of a cogeneration
system. The turbine, to be
supplied by Greenvironment,
will be installed at a hospital
in the city of Medias and is
scheduled for completion in
November.
The cogeneration system
will supply electricity and heat
to the facility. HospMed Project
will operate the system, which
will supply annually about
590 MWh of electricity and
2940 MWh of heat to the
generation capacity.
The Atlantic proposal calls
for a 2800 m2 facility, with a
30-metre-high emissions stack
on a vacant lot next to the
companys main paper mill
and within 1 km of a second mill.
Together, the two mills produce
1800 tonnes of cardboard a
day from recycled material.
Heat from the proposed
plant would be used in the
production process, generating
steam for removing excess
water during the pulping
phase.
Medias municipal hospital. In

addition, 750 MWh of electricity
will be sent to the grid.
Greenvironment says the
cogeneration
system
will
achieve a total efficiency
slightly above 90% and save
the hospital about 10% of its
annual energy costs.
Peter
Dorner, COO
of
Greenvironment, said: The
Romanian market is developing
very positively for us. At the
moment, we are in advanced

TWO NEW CHP UNITS AT STEVENS

INSTITUTE IN THE UNITED STATES
Massachusetts-based
American DG Energy has
started up another two energy
systems at Stevens Institute of
Technology, a technological
university, in Hoboken, New
Jersey, US. The addition of
these two 75 kW CHP systems
at Stevens central plant brings
the total number of energy
systems the company owns
and operates at the university
to nine.
American
DG
Energy
produces clean energy in
the form of electricity, space
heating and cooling with
six small-scale CHP systems
and three natural gas chiller
cooling systems at five separate

buildings on Stevens campus.
American DG Energy sells
the energy produced from
an onsite energy system to
an individual property as an
alternative to the outright
sale of energy equipment.
On-Site Utility customers only
pay for the energy produced
by the system and receive a
guaranteed discount rate on
the price of the energy.
As a result, Stevens pays
only for the energy it uses and
avoids all capital, installation
and operating costs, including
service, maintenance and
repair.
BIOMASS CHP EXPANSION AT UK

RECYCLING PARK
Lincolnshire County Council
has given the green light
for
composting
specialist
Organic Recycling to extend
its operations to include
anaerobic digestion (AD) and
a biomass CHP boiler at its
recycling site in Crowland, UK.
Andrew
Riddington,
managing director of Organic
Recycling,
explains
that
naturally produced methane
will be converted into electricity
through a CHP unit, with the
excess heat and carbon
dioxide used in glasshouses

adjacent to the plant.
The site will be able to
handle 150,000 tonnes of
waste at the 52 acre site, and
produce enough power from
a renewable resource for more
than 1400 homes, according to
the company.
The biomass boiler will also
generate heat for use in the
glasshouses from a variety of
wood and biomass wastes
generated from external and
internal sources.

NEW CHP PLANT FOR SUTTON

HOSPITAL IN UK
A new CHP plant is being
installed at the Royal Marsden
Hospital in Sutton, near London.
The energy centre is expected
to save the hospital more
than 600,000 ($980,000) and
almost halve carbon emissions
every year, equivalent to 3655
tonnes of carbon dioxide.
The plant, to be developed
and operated by MITIEs Asset
Management business, uses a
gas engine to generate heat
and power, reducing the need
to buy energy from the grid
and replacing the hospitals
existing steam energy system.
The new plant, which will be

installed by summer 2012, will
also produce excess energy
that could supply neighbouring
amenities on the site.
MITIE has recently been
accepted as a partner in
the National Health Service
(NHS) Carbon and Energy
Fund, which enables hospital
trusts to upgrade their energy
infrastructure by providing
funding, legal and technical
services. MITIE is already
working with the Royal Free
hospital in Hampstead, London,
to improve its energy provision.

consumes heat in boiling logs,
in its wood presses and in its
veneer and timber drying kilns.

The plant is expected to fire up
in the second quarter of 2012.
The ORC power system
employs a closed cycle
process that uses relatively
low to moderate temperature
heat sources in generating
electricity. ORC systems are
driven by a simple evaporation
process and are entirely
enclosed, which means they
produce virtually no emissions.

each CHP unit is based on the
local bottling plants needs,
the basics remain the same.
At its core, several gas turbines
generate electricity to be used
by the bottling plant, plus any
additional electricity delivered
to the grid. By capturing and
reusing heat from this power
generation, the CHP unit
provides steam to the bottling
operation to produce hot
water for manufacturing and
sanitation, as well as chilled
water for refrigeration and air
conditioning.
It is the fourth function of
the CHP unit the capture of
carbon dioxide for reuse that
is the most innovative feature.
Instead of being emitted to the
atmosphere, the recovered
carbon dioxide is filtered and
purified to the highest foodgrade standard, which can be
used in beverage carbonation,
providing the fizz in sparkling
drinks. Technically, up to 95%
of the carbon dioxide can
be
recovered,
although
economic
considerations
often limit this to about 40%.

unit, a Coca-Cola Hellenic

BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES

In addition to reducing the
companys carbon footprint,
the CHP programme brings
other important benefits to
Coca-Cola Hellenic. A major
advantage is the improved
availability and reliability of
Coca-Cola Hellenic
Coca-Cola Hellenic is one of the world's largest bottlers
of products of The Coca-Cola Company, with annual
sales of more than two billion unit cases. The company
has operations in 28 countries and serves a population
of approximately 560 million people. Since 2008,
Coca-Cola Hellenic has been listed on the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indexes (World and STOXX), placing
the company among the top 10% of companies for
sustainability worldwide.

can lead to significant cost
savings,
while

6 million (US$8.6 million) in
energy costs. In addition, the
company can potentially earn
revenue from sales of excess
electricity, carbon dioxide and
carbon credits.
An

There have also been

teething problems in the
management of the project.
Pioneering technology by its
nature means that contractors
and
subcontractors
lack
experience in the specifics
of the project. After the initial
units became operational,
the concept was refined and
certain design features were
changed.
The volatility of energy
prices and feed-in tariffs
poses another challenge.
The companys future energy
needs are uncertain, too, since
they are linked to production
volume. As a result, the
payback period of some units
is difficult to ascertain.
Despite these challenges,
have
been
administrative
delays and legal hurdles.
Given the innovative nature
of the programme, the legal
framework was often unclear
Coca-Cola Hellenic remains

committed to the programme.
In
fact,
the
company
announced in 2010 that it
would step up its original
commitment from 15 CHP
and untested. This has been

particularly true in certain
developing and emerging
markets, where several units
are considerably delayed.
units to 20. On completion, the

programme will cut carbon
emissions from manufacturing
by more than 250,000 tonnes
each year. As a result, the
company has committed to
further reduce emissions by a
further 25% compared to 2004.
In the longer term, CocaCola Hellenic expects to
expand the programme even
further, implementing CHP
units wherever economical
across its 28 countries of
operation.
PART OF A BROADER CLIMATE
STRATEGY
Although the CHP programme
is the centrepiece of CocaCola

greatest climate impact lies
not in its own operations,
however, but in its value chain.
These indirect carbon dioxide
emissions are more than six
times greater than emissions
from company operations.
As a result, the company has
also worked hard to reduce
its wider carbon footprint,
working with suppliers to
develop
climate-friendly
refrigeration, for example. By
replacing hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs, which contribute to
global warming) with natural
refrigerant gases such as

hydrocarbons
(HCs)
and
by using intelligent energy
management
devices,
Coca-Cola Hellenic helps its
business customers reduce
energy use of coolers by up to
two thirds.
Similarly,
the
company
works with suppliers and
recyclers to reduce the
climate impact of beverage
packaging.
As a founding signatory
of the United Nations Global
Compacts Caring for Climate
initiative, Coca-Cola Hellenic
has
also
committed
to
promoting climate action and
clean energy technologies.
The opening ceremony for
each CHP unit is used as a
platform to communicate
the
urgency
of
climate
action and to showcase
clean energy technologies.
At the opening of the Ploeisti
CHP unit in Romania, for
example,
internationally
noted
climate
expert
Professor Geoffrey Boulton
addressed an audience of
local government, customers,
suppliers, NGOs, employees
and others. In the Italian plant
of Nogara, an environmental
roundtable discussion was
held.
The programme has been
widely
communicated
at
international level, too. When
Her Majesty the Queen toured
the new CHP unit in Northern
Ireland, Coca-Cola Hellenic
generated
international
media coverage about the
clean energy technology.
The company also shared its
programme at CSR Europes
Enterprise 2020 Marketplace
event in Brussels, the leading
European business network
for sustainability, where it
was the only non-alcoholic
beverage company invited
to do so, and presented it at
COGEN Europes 2011 Annual

Conference.
As a result, Coca-Cola
Hellenics CHP programme
has gained recognition. The
company was a finalist in
the Platts 2010 Global Energy
Industry Awards. In Romania,
Coca-Cola
Hellenic
was
named business with the
most reduced impact on the
environment (Business Review
Investment
Awards
Gala);
while in Ireland, the company
received an energy efficiency
award from Sustainable Ireland.

Smart power grids and CHP
Cogeneration
and the development of

While no silver bullet, cogeneration could play an important role in helping

Europe to balance its power grids and accommodate larger amounts of
intermittent renewable generation. Leon Sijbers discusses the situation at
electricity system, micro-grid and domestic levels.

The well-being of our
people, industry and
economy depends on safe,
secure, sustainable and

same time, energy related
emissions
account
for
almost 80% of the European
Unions total greenhouse

faced with the challenge
of lowering the industrys
carbon dioxide footprint
over the same period that
we expect energy demand
to increase significantly.
We will need a smarter grid

COGENERATION/
COMBINED HEAT AND
POWER
Cogeneration (also known as
combined heat and power,
CHP) is the use of a power

station to generate both
electricity and useful heat.
All power plants emit
a certain amount of heat
during electricity generation.
This can be released into
the natural environment
through cooling towers, flue
gases, or by other means. By
contrast, CHP captures some
or all of the by-product heat
for heating purposes, either
very close to the plant, or
especially in Scandinavia
and Eastern Europe as hot
water for district heating.
The business case for
cogeneration
versus
a
conventional
generation
plant has always been
one of greater efficiency.
Cogeneration
is
a
thermodynamically efficient
use of fuel. In the separate
production of electricity,
some
energy
must
be
rejected as waste heat, but
in cogeneration this thermal
energy is put to good use.
The efficiency of a local
CHP plant compared with a
conventional thermal plant
with transportation is higher,
as shown in Figure 1.
Thermal power plants
do not convert all of
their
thermal
energy
into electricity. In most

bit more than half is lost as

excess heat. By capturing
the excess heat, CHP uses
heat that would be wasted
in a conventional power
plant, potentially reaching
a total efficiency of up to
80%, compared with 60%
for the best conventional

plants. This means less fuel
needs to be consumed to
produce the same amount
of useful energy.
THE SYSTEM LEVEL
But at the system level, the
challenge
is
regulating
and balancing intermittent
forms
of
renewable
generation such as solar
and wind power large
hydropower
production
is an exception among
renewables as such units
are typically well-suited for
electricity balancing.
So achieving a suitable
balance must be found
within
the
surrounding
system, that is by balancing
conventional
generation
and renewable generation
sources to meet demand.
Looking at Denmark, for
instance, Figure 2 shows
demand versus (forecasted)
generation from wind. Gasfired CHP plants (widely
used in Denmark) can help
the electricity grid to cope

with intermittent supplies
of
renewable
energy
because
they
respond
faster and are more flexible
as well as more efficient
than conventional power
stations.

power
generation
and
storage to reduce energy
consumption
and
to
enable more local power
generation,
including
renewable energy sources
like solar and small-scale
wind.
Another option is the
fuelling of the CHP plant
with biomass such as wood,
crops, landfill gas, alcohol
fuels or waste, which makes
it ideal for a micro-grid in a
city or very remote areas.
This is one of the waste-topower concepts that are
being deployed.
Eventually a micro-grid
with CHP generation could
be combined with a district
heating and cooling system
to
create
a
complete
local independent energy
system. The management
system will also enable the
micro-grid to connect with
and disconnect from the
surrounding
distribution
grid when necessary.
THE HOME LEVEL
A new development, GEs
Net Zero Home Project, aims
for energy neutral living by
2015 and is the next step in
energy optimization see
Figure 3.
These net zero energy
homes will combine on-site
power generation through
solar panels or wind turbines
coupled
with
energyefficient appliances and
on-site storage. Consumers
will get detailed energy
data and may be able to
control
appliances
with
a home energy manager
device.
In
these
areas,
the
projection is that the need
for generation including CHP
would be reduced, as the
energy storage capabilities
will be sufficient to provide
the flexibility to handle the
demand response.
CONCLUSIONS
Europe
has
actively
incorporated cogeneration
into its energy policy via the
CHP Directive. The region
has the three countries with
the worlds most intensive
cogeneration
economies:
Denmark, the Netherlands
and
Finland.
Other
European
countries
are
also making great efforts to
increase their efficiency.
According
to
the
IEA
2008
modelling
of
cogeneration
expansion
for
the
G8
countries,
expansion of cogeneration
in France, Germany, Italy
and the UK alone would
effectively double existing
primary fuel savings by
2030.
Governments
are
being assisted in their CHP
endeavours by organizations
such as COGEN Europe,
the umbrella organization
representing the interests
of
the
cogeneration
industry, which serves as
an information hub for the
most recent updates within
Europes energy policy.
CHP is an important
technology to help Europe
meet future requirements
for balancing the grid,
enabling the integration of
renewables and supporting
micro-grids for cities and
rural
areas.
However,
CHP is not a silver bullet
and
other
technologies
such as net zero homes
could become a greater
enabler of fuel savings
and emissions reductions
and
thus
impact
the
expansion of CHP in Europe.

CHP from food waste
Food waste:
a new fuel for CHP in the US

Increasing volumes of food waste are being converted, via digestion, into
biogases to fuel CHP schemes across North America, reports Ed Ritchie, who finds
that food waste can be an important fuel source, both when used alone and
when mixed with other waste streams.

s food waste on a
fast track as a prime
resource for on-site CHP
power in North America?
Indeed, the trend is gaining
momentum,
thanks
to
the growing popularity of
anaerobic digestion and
market drivers that include
government
support,
investor confidence and, of
course, the overriding race
to produce energy in the
most sustainable manner
possible. Then too, it doesnt
hurt
that
food
waste,
typically lumped into the
term municipal solid waste
(MSW) by the professionals,
and garbage by the rest
of us, is in abundance
throughout the continental
US and Canada.
In the US, for example,
the latest figures from the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA)
estimate
that, in 2009, Americans
generated about 221 tonnes
of trash, or 1.97 kg per
person per day. In Canada,
it is a lower overall volume,
but the daily stats are close
to the same. Food waste
typically accounts for about
1330% of MSW content,
depending on the locale.
But
no
matter
the
composition,
historically,
the
vast
majority
of
MSW is disposed of by
hauling it off to a landfill
site. Not surprisingly, the
transportation
and
associated costs of landfills
are rising, and so too are
the number of communities
voicing opposition to them.
When landfills are approved,
they typically get sited far
away from the cities they

serve, and that raises fuel
and transportation costs.
WASTE-TO-ENERGY ON
THE RISE
The rise of MSW costs
and a nationwide antilandfill
sentiment
have
spurred
rapid
growth
of
large-scale
waste-toenergy plants across the
US and Canada. In fact,
according to Pike Research
of
Boulder,
Colorado,
worldwide revenues from
waste-to-energy
systems
are expected to grow from
US$3.7 billion to $13.6 billion,
by 2016. But these use some
form of incineration, and
have drawbacks such as
centralized locations that
bring high truck traffic, and
ash that must be disposed of.

says
Michael

Technologies of Orange
Park, Florida. 2G-Cenergy
refined its CHP systems in
more than 1500 projects
across Europe, and now
has six projects in the US.
All but two use anaerobic
digestion of food waste
and other organic waste to
supply biogas.

and
politicians dont like to see
more landfills, adds Turwitt.
Instead of taking tonnes
and tonnes of food waste
or other organic waste and
just dumping it in the landfill
it can be used for anaerobic
digestion and it makes a lot
of sense. Turwitt points out
two projects, a brewery and
a university that illustrate
his case.

cospp
First is the Matt Brewing

Company,
Utica,
New
York. Brewing takes plenty
of process heat and uses
hops and other food related
products to make beer. Matt
Brewing contracted with
2G-Cenergy to supply a high
efficiency biogas CHP unit for
the companys wastewater
treatment
project.
The
400 kW biogas CHP module
has an electrical efficiency
of
39%
and
delivers
556.5 kW/h of thermal
energy. 2G-Cenergy also
supplied
a
complete
gas
treatment
system,
including
cooler,
dryer/
dehumidification, and the
H 2S removal system, plus
controls and switchgear,
and utility interconnection.
BIOGAS WITH CLASS
The second example is a
unique project that lifts
the
sustainability
profile
of a university and the
surrounding community. It is
at the University of Wisconsin
(UW), Oshkosh, where the
ultimate goal is for a carbon
neutral campus.
The new CHP system
has a 370 kW generator
designed
to
produce
4200 MWh of thermal energy
and 3100 MWh of electricity
annually. The system relies
on a 2G Optimus 370BG
unit, built by MAN Engine,
Nuremberg, Germany. This
type of power plant has been
proven in Europe for many
years, says Turwitt. We are
actually cleaning up the
gas before it goes into the
combustion process but of
course the cleaning process
is by no means a necessary
purification because our
engines can take a much
higher level of the corrosive
elements in biogas.

additional modules to boost
power. In the universitys
case it is a convenient
option because a city
wastewater treatment plant
is a neighbour and currently
flares excess biogas from its
digester during the summer
months. A simple pipeline
could bring the gas to the
CHP system to boost heat
and electricity output, with
the possibility of excess
electricity to sell to the grid.
Even without a contribution
from the wastewater plant,
the project is expected to
pay for itself in about six to
seven years.
The
Oshkosh
site
marks the debut of North
Americas first dry anaerobic
bio-digester. It is supplied
by BIOFerm Energy Systems
of Madison, Wisconsin. The
company has 28 operating
installations worldwide, with
more under construction.

According to Caroline
Chappell, an application
engineer at BIOFerm, it
is the same biological
fermentation
as
wet
anaerobic,
but
the
difference
is
that
the
feedstock has less moisture
content and that eliminates
the need for a slurry, which
is mechanically intensive.
Instead, once the biomass
is delivered the chamber
doors are sealed and a
percolate solution sprinkles
down from above, then it
is recycled and sprinkled
on top again. In previous
projects, BIOFerm has found
that wood waste and yard
waste combinations can
also yield good results as
a feedstock, but woody
biomass
with
a
lignin
structure does not break
down as well.

CHP from food waste
Chappell
notes
that
most of BIOFerms digesters
provide
fuel
for
CHP
installations, and that is a
benefit because the process
requires a temperature in
the chambers of about
40C, throughout a cycle
that takes 28 days. Negative
pressure
is
maintained
in the chambers, with air
treated by a biofilter. The
Oshkosh system has four
digester chambers, each
with a processing capacity
of 1814.4 tonnes/year.
According to Dr Gregory
Kleinheinz,
director
of
Environmental and Public
Health Microbiology at the
university, food waste is the
primary feedstock for the
digester. Food makes up
the majority of our feedstock
and
weve
taken
the
approach that we want a
good diversity of feedstock
but we want to take all
the food waste and use
that first, says Kleinheinz.
But we arent taking any
meat products because
our facility is located in the
middle of a city and whether
or not it happens we dont
want to be perceived as a
source of odour or vermin.
CITIES AND RESTAURANTS
PITCH IN
The digester will consume
more food waste than
is created on campus,
so
additional
feedstock
from the citys MSW and
local businesses has been
tapped, plus biomass such
as yard waste. Beyond the
benefits of a renewable fuel
source and the efficiency
of CHP, Kleinheinz sees a
distinct role for the biodigester and CHP system as
a new resource in providing
education about sustainable
technologies. The university
will do biomass testing on
materials
to
determine
36
cospp
their potential to generate

methane, and provide an
operational
laboratory
for other universities and
organizations interested in
the process.
The project supports the
universitys goal of using
only renewable energy by
2025, as part of its Clinton
Climate
Commitment.
Tom
Sonnleitner,
UW
Oshkosh vice chancellor
for Administrative Services,
adds that sustainability is
one of the four legs of the
plan for the school, and
that students are making
a choice for schools where
sustainability is a driving
force.
Oshkosh
has
a
sustainability director, and
the operations plan has
more than 125 sustainability
related goals.
Universities in both the US
and Canada have played a
major role in the growth of
the sustainability movement
in North America. And they
are key players in the field
of anaerobic digestion. For
example, Professor Ruihong
Zhang began researching
anaerobic digestion in the
late 1990s at the University
of California at Davis (UC
Davis). In 2006, Zhang and
UC Davis launched the
Biogas Energy Project, a
campus facility designed to
digest 7.26 tonnes of food
waste per week.
TAKING THE STING OUT OF
ONION WASTE
Zhangs
system
proved
successful
and
quickly
found
a
customer
in
Gills Onions of Oxnard,
California. Gills grows and
processes onions, and in a
typical week delivers millions
of pounds of cut onions
to
restaurants,
grocery
stores, and specialty food
producers. Food waste was
a major problem. Leftover
Food waste, lost energy, lost money

Food waste is a costly problem in the US, according to
Dr Timothy Jones, a professor at the Bureau of Applied
Research in Anthropology, University of Arizona,
Tucson. Jones says that 14% of food purchases end up
as garbage. About 14% of the tossed food never left
the package and wasnt even out of date. The cost to
the economy in 2006 was $43 billion.
Jones headed the Food Loss Study for the US
Department of Agriculture and also found that
Americans are unaware of their habits when wasting
food. Nor are they aware of the wasted energy in
lost food, adds mechanical engineering professor
Dr Michael Webber, Cockrell School of Engineering,
University of Texas at Austin. In a recent study Webber
found that the US could save 2% of its total energy
consumption by ending food waste. The equivalent in
oil savings amounts to a staggering 350 million barrels.
But the US is not alone. The United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organization published a study that
says about 1.3 billion tonnes of the entire worlds food
production goes to waste. Not surprisingly, it is the
industrialized nations that account for the majority of
the waste. The study suggests that good uses should be
found for food that would otherwise be thrown away.
Does energy recovery through anaerobic digestion
and CHP qualify?
2G-Cenergy CHP unit outside BioFERM digester building
tops, tails and skins, make

up about 40% of the onion
waste,
and
Gills
had
680,388.6 kg per week that
they paid to truck to open
fields for ploughing back
into the soil.
With the help of Zhang,
in 2009 Gills launched its
Advanced Energy Recovery
System, a waste-to-energy
process that converts 100%
(about 136,077.7 kg per
day) of onion waste into
renewable
energy
and
cattle feed, while reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
Source: 2G-Cenergy
The system extracts juice

from the waste for treatment
in a high-rate anaerobic
reactor. Biogas from the
digester fuels two 300 kW fuel
cells that power the onion
processing plant, and save
about $700,000 in annual
electrical costs. Gills sells
the leftover onion pulp as
cattle feed cake and saves
about $400,000 per year on
the cost of hauling the onion
waste to farm fields.
Cost savings from on-site
energy and other savings
are expected to return a full

CHP from food waste
The organic cycle
payback of the $10.8 million

investment in less than six
years.
Six
years
would
be
considered
as
a
commendable timetable for
most projects in the energy
industry, but there is still an
initial investment in all the
projects described so far.
However, it is possible to
forego upfront investing and
set up the same kind of power
purchase agreements that
have advanced the growth
of large-scale photovoltaic
projects, according to Paul
Sellow, CEO, Harvest Power.
We
provide the capital
and own and operate the
system, Sellow explains.
When you look at everything
such as tipping fees, the
transportation costs and
energy and fertilizer, they
add up. Harvest saves
money on those things and
gives customers a whole
series of benefits from the
sustainability standpoint as
well.

Source: Harvest Power
Sellow describes Harvest

Power
as
the
largest
manager
of
organic
waste in Canada, and its
Richmond, British Columbia
facility manages a majority
of the biomass such as grass
and brush, along with food
waste, in the lower mainland
of British Columbia. The
territory
includes
the
Vancouver region, serving
about 2.5 million people,
while creating
3 MW of
CHP sold to the grid and,
finally, there is a large-scale
composting operation.
The next project for Harvest
Power is a commercialscale,
high
solids
and
anaerobic digestion facility
in London, Ontario. It will
produce
biogas
for
a
6 MW CHP system, under a
long-term contract with BC
Hydro to provide renewable
energy. Thermal energy is
used on-site and after the
14-day anaerobic process
finishes, the company sells
the residual material to
its composting lawn and

garden and agricultural
customer base.
We want to extract the
maximum value out of these
organic
feedstocks
and
that includes the renewable
energy
potential,
says
Sellow. Biogas is a very good
fuel and in a CHP unit you
can operate at close to 80%
efficiency, with 40% electric
and 40% thermal capture.
Hook that up to the grid and
you have a distributed form
of renewable energy.
INVESTORS JOIN THE PARTY
Investor confidence was
mentioned as one of the
drivers in this sector, and
Harvest Power provides a
good example. In May 2011,
the company announced
that it had received $6
million from SAM Private
Equity
(a
division
of
the
Rabobank
Group,
focused on sustainability
investing, based in Zurich,
Switzerland).
The
sum
added to a previous round

of $51.7 million of investment
from backers that include
Waste Management, Kleiner
Perkins and Munich Venture
Partners.
The
capital
resources
provide a foundation for
carrying out projects at a
wide variety of industries
and institutions. Says Sellow,
On-site CHP at a university
or a brewery makes a lot
of sense because one of
the great things about
anaerobic digestion is that
its a free biological process.
You dont need enzymes or
catalyst and less than 5%
of the energy is used for
the process so its a very
productive
high
energy
yielding technology. We
clearly are very focused on
on-site opportunities where
there is an organic waste
generator thats also a
consumer of power.
Harvest Power is not
the
only
commercial
scale anaerobic digestion

CHP from food waste
operator in Ontario. Organic

Resource
Management
Inc (ORMI) of Woodbridge,
Ontario, is an organics
recycling company that has
provided liquid residuals
collection services to the
food industry sector for
more than 20 years. But
2010 was a watershed year
for the company. At the
beginning of fiscal 2010,
approximately
25%
of
ORMIs residuals were being
used by anaerobic digester
partners as feedstock to
produce renewable energy.
By the end of the year, the
tally grew to about 80%.
For example, ORMIs first
digester
partner,
Fepro
Farms, Cobden, Ontario,
saw its system operate at
full capacity throughout
2010, allowing for the sale
of electricity to the grid
in excess of 90% of the
time. Fepro has about 300
animals plus 140 milking
cows. The cost of their
project was about $250,000
and the owners estimate
a 10-year payback, while
saving between $1000 and
$2000 in monthly power
bills. Though the numbers
are not staggering, the
project demonstrates that
the technology is available
to both large and small
operations. In fact, the
success motivated Fepro
to take further advantage
of Ontarios feed-in tariff
programme by adding a
196 kW photovoltaic solar
system to complement the
500 kW bio-digester.
DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
ADD VALUE
A
widespread
fuel
or
feedstock
distribution
network can be a benefit to
on-site energy production,
and the same holds for
anaerobic
digestion.
In
July 2010, ORMI bought
40
cospp
property
in
Woodstock,
Ontario, to develop its first
combined liquid and solid
food
waste-to-renewable
energy transfer station. The
station adds the ability to
receive solid food waste
from collected industrial,
commercial and institutional
sources,
plus
separated
green bin organics. And
it could be a boost to onsite CHP, but there is one
caveat,
according
to
Charles Buehler, chairman
and CEO, ORMI.
There has been a lot
of work going on with onsite CHP but biogas and
digesters need big pieces
of real estate or they need
to be attached to either a
very large food processing
operation or farm, says
Buehler. But there is an
opportunity to have them
stand alone in an urban
area and a couple of those
are planned in Ontario.
In the meantime, Buehler
believes that the industry
can
look
to
another
revenue source to boost its
staying power upgrading
biogas to liquefied (LNG) or
compressed (CNG) natural
gas. Though we do see
biogas used in a generator
it can be upgraded to
natural gas and there are
opportunities to take CNG
and operate a vehicle fleet,
he said.
Those opportunities could
provide a substantial boost
to an already highly efficient
biogas-fed
CHP
system.
According to Edgar and
Associates, Chattanooga,
Tennessee, financial and
engineering
consultants
in mining, transportation
and fossil fuel industries,
developing an anaerobic
digestion
facility
using
food and green waste to
generate biomethane for
CNG could achieve an 84%
Ultimately, these examples

demonstrate a broad base of
support for biogas as a fuel for
electricity generation and
that provides multiple markets
for companies like 2G-Cenergy,
which has a landfill biogas
project in Mississippi that is
designed to feed electricity to
the grid
reduction in the cost of fleet
operations.
Using biogas to create
LNG is also possible. In fact,
one of North Americas
largest
MSW
treatment
and
haulers,
Waste
Management,
recently
commissioned its 1000th
natural gas truck. The
company is the largest
owner and operator of
natural gas burning heavy
duty trucks in North America,
and one third of its fleet
runs on LNG derived from
organic waste delivered
and processed at the
Altamont Landfill located
in Livermore, California.
The company also has
17 CNG and LNG fuelling
stations at its facilities, and
more under development.
Waste Management has
many landfill biogas energy
projects that sell electricity
back to the grid.
SATISFYING RENEWABLE
PORTFOLIO STANDARDS
These projects can help to
satisfy a states Renewable
Portfolio Standards, as is
the case with a new project
in Moncks Corner, South
Carolina. The South Carolina
Public Service Authority, an
electric and water utility,
recently agreed to a 20-year
power purchase agreement
with W2E-Organic Power,
Columbia, South Carolina,

to construct a 1.6 MW
generation plant fuelled
by biogas from food waste,
grease, food processing
waste
and
wastewater
sludge.
Ultimately,
these
examples
demonstrate
a broad base of support
for biogas as a fuel for
electricity
generation
and that provides multiple

markets for companies like
2G-Cenergy, which, not
surprisingly, has a landfill
biogas
project
in
the
state of Mississippi that is
designed to feed electricity
to the grid.
As the projects and
markets continue to grow,
the industrys profile as
a provider of renewable
energy grows with it. And
so the potential is high for
locations such as Oshkosh,
where CHP projects fuelled
by food waste are sited
downtown, and regarded
as beneficial contributors to
sustainable communities.

CHP support programmes
CHP provides a strategic energy
solution for
Ontario
The Canadian province of Ontario already has a substantial amount of CHP

generating capacity and has launched a long-term plan for further CHP growth.
Here, Ontario Power Authoritys Colin Andersen describes how two new CHP
support programmes will help to deliver this growth.
The Sarnia Regional Cogeneration

Plant on the St Clair River in
Sarnia, Ontario is a 444 MW
natural gas fired cogeneration
power plant. The plant produces
electricity and thermal energy in
the form of steam for the following
steam hosts: Dow, Bayer, Suncor
and NOVA.
The plants major equipment
consists of three Alstom gas
turbines; three Nooter-Eriksen
supplementary fired heat recovery
steam generators (HRSGs); and
one Westinghouse and two
Alstom steam turbines. Natural
gas supplied by Union Gas
Distribution infrastructure fuels
the facility.
The plant delivers 230 kV power
to circuits N6S and N7S on the
Hydro One grid, which feeds into
the Ontario electricity market
administered by the Independent
Electricity System Operator.

ntario
has
adopted
a
strategic focus
and disciplined
approach to project siting
for further investment in
combined heat and power
(CHP),
or
cogeneration,
projects in the province.
These criteria will have
even greater influence on
CHP procurements planned
for the future, which will be
based on Ontarios LongTerm Energy Plan (LTEP)
and the detailed Integrated
Power System Plan (IPSP)
now
in
development.
In an electricity system
with a capacity of about
35 GW, CHP is intended to
play a relatively small but
important role.
In November 2010, the
Government
of
Ontario
released its LTEP that will
help guide the province
as it continues to build a
clean, modern and reliable
electricity system. It will
ensure Ontario is a North
American leader for clean
energy jobs and technology
and becomes coal-free by
2014. The plan is available
to read at www.ontario.ca/
energyplan.
_______
The
Ontario
Power
Authority is responsible for
developing an electricity
plan
that
integrates
conservation, supply and
transmission to implement
the LTEP and the electricity
supply mix determined by the
government. The IPSP will be
submitted for review to the
Ontario Energy Board, the
regulator of the provinces
electricity and natural gas
sectors.

Ontarios LTEP estimates

that the total industrial CHP
capacity in Ontario is about
2000 MW, or about 6% of
the
provinces
installed
capacity.
CHP OFFERS A HIGH
EFFICIENCY NICHE SOURCE
Ontario aims to develop
North
Americas
most
reliable,
cost-effective
and sustainable electricity
system.
These
core
principles, articulated by the
OPA and expressed in both
the LTEP and IPSP, determine
the provinces approach
to CHP. Building on this
foundation, the province is
making steady progress on
diversifying its supply mix
toward eliminating all coalfired generation by the end
of 2014. Until recently, coal
comprised 20% of Ontarios
fuel mix, and the province
will be one of the first
jurisdictions to remove coal
from its supply mix.
Given Ontarios diverse
electricity
supply
mix,
market structure and system
operability needs, the ability
to dispatch CHP has been a
requirement for most of the
CHP facilities OPA has under
contract and will procure in
the future.
The
inherently
high
efficiency of CHP creates a
natural niche opportunity
for it in Ontario. That is
why the LTEP and IPSP call
for a total future target
procurement of 1000 MW,
affirming that properly sited
CHP can contribute tangibly
to
Ontarios
emerging
electricity supply needs.
The potential for CHP
growth
was
given
a
significant
boost
earlier
this year through the OPAs
introduction of two new
programmes:
Combined
Heat and Power IV (CHP
IV) and the Clean Energy
www.cospp.com
cospp
Standard
Offer
Program
(CESOP). An overview of
each is provided in Table 2.
RIGHT SIZE, RIGHT
LOCATION, RIGHT PRICE
To be successful, it is critical
that new CHP projects are
cost-effective that they be
the right size, in the right
location and at the right
price.
Based
on
these
parameters, projects that are
likely to succeed will feature
a stable heat host, offer
high efficiency and strong
economics, and will target
urban areas, municipalities,
hospitals, industrial parks
and
campuses.
District
energy projects that can
tap into the local distribution
system are ideal candidates
under these circumstances
because
they
provide
value to developers and
ratepayers alike, and mesh
well with the sustainability
goals of the LTEP and IPSP.
As
I
told
delegates
attending
the
joint
conference of the Canadian
District Energy Association
and the International District
Energy Association in June:
A local approach with local
benefits is key to building a
more sustainable future.
The OPA is committed to this
concept, and we are excited
about the interest that has
been shown in the current
procurement programmes.

Project Profile: Wuhan steel mill, China
Project Profile:
Wuhan Steel
burns waste gases to generate on-site power
Steel plants often produce one or more combustible waste gases that can be put to use on site to generate
electricity. GE is expanding its large frame gas turbine product line to burn these, often ultra-low calorific
value, gas fuel blends as this application in China illustrates.
trong growth in the

steel industry in recent
years and mounting
concerns globally over
climate change are driving
steel mill operators around the
world to install more reliable
and fuel-flexible on-site power
equipment to boost steel
production capacity while also
reducing the environmental
impacts of their manufacturing
activities.
A case in point is the
Wuhan Iron & Steel Group
Corp (WISCO) steel mill near
Wuhan City in Hubei Province,
China. Founded in 1958,
WISCO companys main steel
products include hot rolled
coils/sheets, hot rolled section
steel, hot rolled heavy-duty
rails, medium plates, cold
rolled coils/sheets, galvanized
sheets, tinned sheets, cold
rolled (oriented and nonoriented) silicon sheets and
high speed rolled wires. The
firm is Chinas third-largest steel
producer based on output.
To comply with Chinas
goals to reduce energy
consumption and emissions,
WISCO installed a combinedcycle power plant powered
by two GE Energy 9E gas
turbines at the Wuhan mill.
The first phase of the plant
entered commercial service
in December 2009 while
the second phase began
operating in August 2010.
Reusing the mills own blast
furnace and coke oven
46
cospp
waste gases (BFG and COG)

as free fuel, the two GE 109
combined-cycle
systems
each generate 164 MW of
on-site power to support the
mills activities. Currently, the
power plants annual output is
1 TWh/year, with a guaranteed
electrical efficiency greater
than 42% (LHV).
Key benefits of this project for
WISCO include lower emissions
from waste gases created
during the steel production
process and new revenues
generated by the sale of some
of the power plants electricity
to the local grid. Also, steel
mills typically buy a great
deal of power from the public
grid for production each year.
Implementing BFG-fired power
generation solution is helping
WISCO
realize
significant
savings compared with buying
power from the public grid
and may offer additional
benefits from CDM (Clean
Development
Mechanism)
emissions trading.
As we evaluated our
technology
options,
we
decided that GEs combinedcycle technology would be the
best fit to help us achieve our
operational goals, since gas
turbines offer better efficiency
and lower NOx and CO
emissions than steam boilers
and other alternatives, said Liu
Handong, Wuhan Iron & Steel
Corporation technical director.
GE rose to the challenge of
meeting and even exceeding
Night-time view of the Wuhan plant, which burns blast furnace and coke oven
waste gases to generate 164 MW of on-site power
its contractual commitment

with its robust, reliable energy
solution that maximizes the
use of our mills waste gases.
This has the combined benefits
of reducing emissions and
enhancing our revenues.
Approved under Chinas
11th Five-Year Plan as an energy
saving
and
environment
protection project, WISCOs
alternative energy combinedcycle
power
plant
also
received support from the
World Bank.
PLANT HIGHLIGHTS
After
Wuhan
signed
its
combined-cycle
power
plant order with GE in
September 2007, GE shipped
its components to China
between late 2008 and early
2009. Following installation and
commissioning, the plants first
combined-cycle unit began
operating in December 2009
and the second entered
service the following August.
The order represented GEs

Project Profile: Wuhan steel mill, China
power generation project in

China. For the power plant
featuring two 92 MW power
trains, GEs scope of supply
consisted of:
the two 9E gas turbines and
two 9A5 generators supplied
by GE Energy;
MCL 1805 and MCL 1407 fuel
gas compressors supplied
by GE Oil & Gas; and
fuel cleaning equipment.
GE also supplied training,
technical advisory services
and
performance
testing
on its systems. GEs flexible
configuration allowed the
customer to supply local
combined-cycle boilers and
a steam turbine to achieve
164 MW per train. Featuring
GEs new 9E power train for 50Hz
BFG applications, the Wuhan
power plant leverages a
proven gas turbine/generator/
fuel gas compressor power
train configuration that was
originally developed in the
1990s and first deployed in Italy
and later in China.
The heart of the power train
is the frame 9E gas turbine,
GEs 50 Hz industrial gas
turbine workhorse with more
than 530 operational units, 23
million operating hours, and
a typical rating of 126 MW
on natural gas. More than
50 of the 9E units have been
installed in China in support
of the countrys energy supply
and environmental goals.
Designed to offer customers
fuel flexibility, the 9E gas
turbines at Wuhan required
a few modifications to burn
Wuhan mills ultra-low heating
value BFG gas see Figure 1.
Principal hardware changes
to the core engine are limited
to the combustors, and an
enlarged throat area for the
stage one stationary nozzle
segments.
Compared with plants that
use traditional fuels, BFG-fired
www.cospp.com
cospp
power plants require a larger

volume of fuel to run through
the gas turbine expander due
to the relatively low heating
value quality of the gas. The
first-stage turbine nozzle (S1N)
has therefore been enlarged
and the gas turbine also
makes use of uprated, thirdstage turbine nozzle (S3N)
and third-stage bucket (S3B)
components that provide
superior performance in highflow conditions.
The fuel gas compressor
is double ended to handle
the
large
compression
loads
associated
with
compressing
ultra-low
heating value fuel. The fuel
compressor is a non-geared
fully centrifugal two-casing
MCL unit from GEs Oil & Gas
division, a proven product
developed for the stringent
reliability requirements of the
petrochemical industry. The
large centrifugal compressor
provides
robustness
for
gas variation and low lifecycle cost due to its fulllife hardware and long
inspection interval with no
blades to be replaced.
The combustion system
employs the multi-nozzle quiet
combustor (MNQC), derived
from decades of syngas
experience, and validation
testing at both GE Energys
combustion
development
facility in Greenville, South
Carolina, US, and at field
installations see Figure 2.
The fuel used is a mixture
of BFG and COG and can
reach a typical heating
value of 1050 kCal/Nm3 for
improved performance, or
950 kCal/Nm3 for reduced
COG consumption. Typical
composition of BFG is ~2.5%
hydrogen, ~25% CO and
inert gases mainly CO2 and
nitrogen. COG is made up
of ~60% hydrogen and ~20%
methane, with 20% comprising
CO, CO2 and nitrogen.

The environmental benefits

of
GEs
combined-cycle
technology include a reduced
emissions profile of 25 ppm
oxides of nitrogen and 25 ppm
for CO.
BUILDING ON 50 YEARS
EXPERIENCE
To date, there are more than 40
GE turbines operating on lowBTU fuels and these turbines
have accumulated nearly
2 million operating hours, with
18 of them in steel mills.
Before Wuhan, another
site in China was completed
in 2008 featuring a 9E multishaft combined-cycle power
plant using Corex gas. This
medium heating value offgas fuel from the Corex steel
making process comprises
about 20% hydrogen, 45% CO
and 30% CO2, having a typical
low heating value of about

1950 kcal/Nm3. The plant had
nearly run for 24,000 hours
on Corex gas by mid-2011.
GEs latest steel mill waste gas
project announced in March
with Handan Iron and Steel
Group also features a single
109E multi-shaft combinedcycle power plant similar in
design to the Wuhan plant.
These projects stand as
examples of a growing trend,
in China and around the
world, as steel mill operators
seek new and innovative
ways to reduce emissions and
increase their on-site power
generation capabilities.

Cogeneration plant
in Freiburg achieves efficiency of 96%
A gas-powered cogeneration module operates at an exceptionally high operating efficiency, thanks to a
heat extraction system and use of a heat pump, at a district energy station in Germany. A comprehensive
long-term maintenance agreement completes the benefits package, as Peter Grner reports.
he Freiburg suburb
of
Vauban
has
undergone massive
changes in recent
years. The area, which
covers 0.4 km, was used
as barracks by the French
army up until 1992. Now it
is a residential suburb with
living space for some 5000
citizens, most of whom live
in low-energy, passive
houses. Many of the houses
use photovoltaic systems
to
generate
electricity,

thus helping to protect

the climate. Heat is also
provided in an ecologically
sound way, thanks largely
to a 14 km local heating
grid operated by Badenova
Wrmeplus, Freiburg.
GAS-POWERED
COGENERATION
Badenova Wrmeplus, the
subsidiary of the regional
energy and environmental
services provider Badenova,
specializes in eco-friendly,
efficient heat and power

generation. From 2001 to
2002, the company built a
CHP station in Vauban to
feed the local heat network.
It went into service in April
2002, initially with a woodfired cogeneration plant,
supported by two peak load
boilers fuelled with natural
gas or oil. The wood chip
heating system realized a
thermal output of 2.5 MW,
and the gas and oil boilers
2.5 MW each.
Also in place was a

steam
engine/generator
combination
with
an
electrical
output
of
240 kW. While the wood

heating
system
functioned impeccably, the
steam

combination
was
prone
to frequent failure. The

output being achieved by

the engine over the years.
Instead of continuing to
refurbish the repair prone
steam engine, Badenova
Wrmeplus replaced it in
spring 2011 with a gaspowered
cogeneration
module
based
on
an
MTU Series 4000 engine
for the main supply. The
existing wood chip heating
system, originally the main
generator, has now been
re-configured to support
the CHP module when the
demand for heating is high.
During peak demand times,
the gas and oil boilers also
step in to accept load. The
electrical power generated
is
fed
into
Badenovas
20 kV network via a new
transformer station.
Being
extremely
well
insulated, the houses in
Vauban
have
relatively
low heating requirements.
Hot
water
consumption
accounts for a high share
of the total heating demand
of around 14,000 MWh/year.
With its thermal output and a
scheduled runtime of 7,200
operating hours per year, the
CHP unit is able to cover over
50% of that requirement. The
rest is covered by the wood
chip heating system and
peak load boilers.
To make optimum use of
the energy used, the heating
experts
at
Badenova
Wrmeplus worked with the
consulting engineers Eser,
Dittmann, Nehring & Partner
to elaborate a plant concept
offering a level of efficiency
several percentage points
higher than that of a
conventional cogeneration
power plant. At the heart of
the solution is the engine
from MTU Onsite Energy. The
operator was impressed not
only by the sound technical
An effective replacement for the steam engine: the new cogeneration module
is based on the Series 4000 gas engine here in the 8-cylinder version with an

basis of the concept, but

also by its good cost/benefit
ratio and plant efficiency.
Combined with long-term
maintenance agreements,
a high degree of planning
certainty has been created.
We
have
long-standing
experience of operating
various MTU installations and
we rate the company highly

as a reliable and competent
partner, said Klaus Schipek,

delivers
a
convincing
performance, he said.
The
engine
achieves
such a high output that the
generator at the shaft end
supplies around 850 kW
power, meaning that some
40% of the energy contained
in the fuel is utilized. The
power generated by the
cogeneration
module
is
enough to cover the electrical
needs of the Vauban district
all year round.
ACHIEVING MAXIMUM
HEAT EXTRACTION
Tapping of the coolant, oil
circuit and exhaust gas is
optimized in order to extract
around 1150 kW of heat.
In Vauban, two exhaust
gas heat exchangers are
installed for this purpose.
The second exhaust gas
heat exchanger cools the
exhaust gas a second time
from around 120C to below
66C using the additional

thermal energy contained
in the exhaust gas. The
heating water arriving at the
grid return at a temperature
of around 62C is initially
pre-heated by a moderate
1.3 K by the low-temperature
exhaust gas heat exchanger.
The heat from the mixture
cooler, engine oil and engine
coolant then increase the
temperature
to
around
67.5C. Finally, the heating
water flows through the first
exhaust gas heat exchanger
(as viewed in the exhaust gas
flow direction), which heats it
to the target temperature of
about 90C.
Use of an additional lowtemperature exhaust gas
heat exchanger raises the
overall efficiency of the
cogeneration module to
93%. To raise the efficiency
level even higher, the waste
heat from the cogeneration
If the energy available as power

and heat is divided by the sum
of the power and fuel used to
generate it, the plant achieves
a possibly record-breaking
efficiency of over 96%
module especially from the
generator and the engine
block does not simply flow
into the atmosphere via a
ventilation system. Instead, an
electric heat pump cools the
area where the cogeneration
module is erected and the
second-stage section of the
mixture cooler, and forwards
the heat extracted to the
district heating grid. In that
way, up to 140 kW of additional
output is mobilized, which is
enough to heat a further 160
households. The cooling of
the area by the heat pump
also benefits the engine,
particularly in the summer,
when outside temperatures

are high. Keeping down the
temperature of the intake air
to the engine enhances its
performance.
If the energy available
in the form of power and
heat is added together
and then divided by the
sum of the power and fuel
used to generate it, the
plant achieves a possibly
record-breaking efficiency
level of over 96%. That
value puts the Vauban CHP
module well ahead of its
conventional counterparts,
which achieve on average
90% efficiency.

CARBON REDUCED BY
OVER 4000 TONNES
For heat demand-based
operation,
Badenova
Wrmeplus
installed
a
100,000 litre stratified heat
accumulator next to the
cogeneration
module.
Hence the cogeneration
plant can operate at full load
for one to three hours and
charge the accumulator.
As
part
of
the
modernization programme,
a
new
exhaust
stack
also had to be built.
Although the output of the
cogeneration plant is now
significantly
higher,
the
height of the new stack is
relatively low at 24 metres
just 2 metres taller than
the previous stack. That
is thanks to the fact that
emissions from the Series
4000 engine are 50% lower
than the limits prescribed
by
TA
Luft
(Technical
Instructions on Air Quality

Control).
Converting the power
station
has
not
only
brought
benefits
in
terms of higher energy
utilization, but has also
made a contribution to
environmental protection.
The higher overall level of
efficiency allows primary
energy consumption to be
reduced by about 40% in
comparison to conventional
power plants. Furthermore,
the cogeneration module
brings a saving of 1.8
million litres of heating oil
and 4200 tonnes of carbon
dioxide per year. Vaubans
cogeneration power plant
is a near perfect example
of
sustainable
power
generation.
LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE
AGREEMENTS
On installation of the new
cogeneration
module,
Badenova
Wrmeplus
signed
a
maintenance
agreement with MTU Onsite
Energy
initially
covering
a period of 10 years. The
peace-of-mind
package
includes the supply and
disposal of engine oil,
as well as all preventive
maintenance
work
and
repairs. That means that
all possible damage to the
plant is covered. Even the
first major overhaul after
64,000
operating
hours
is included. The operator
therefore benefits from the
highest degree of service
quality, with simultaneous
cost cover.
CONCLUSION
The power plant team
is
satisfied:
the
MTU
cogeneration
module
operates reliably and with
low emissions. Designed for
using natural gas, it can also

be powered by bio-fuels.
The Badenova company
has been operating biogas
plants since 2010, which
turn biogas into bio-natural
gas for supply to the gas
grid. All in all, the Vauban
combined heat and power
station is an example of
an
ecologically
sound
solution that meets the
environmental requirements
of local citizens, at the same
time saving them money
for heating thanks to its
outstanding efficiency.

NATIONAL ENERGY STRATEGY HITS ENERGY MINISTERS AGENDA:

THREE DISTRICT ENERGY GAME CHANGERS
A national energy strategy
was high on the agenda at
a meeting of federal and
provincial energy ministers in
Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada
on 1619 July.
WADE Canada President,
Anouk Kendall, outlined three
components of a successful
national energy strategy
fuelled
by
decentralized
energy.
The primary goal of a
national energy strategy
should be to increase the
efficiency of our national
energy
production
and
consumption
activities,
because increased efficiency
means:
more energy output from
our resources;
longer lasting resource
supplies;
reduced emissions;
reduced healthcare costs.
Five mechanisms for
achieving this are:
1. high
performance
buildings in sustainably
built communities;
2. generation
of
energy
closer to the end user;

3. usage of a portfolio of
locally available resources
to generate energy;
4. valuing of waste streams
as a revenue generating
energy fuel (e.g. waste
heat,
sewage,
MSW,
a g r i c u l t u r a l/ f o r e s t r y/
industrial waste stream
etc.);
5. strengthening
of
national energy through
integration.
This
strategy
must
consider the domestic value
of improving our energy

supply and delivery systems
as well as protecting the
international
competitive
advantage that we have
worked so hard to establish.
Three key components
for a successful strategy in
Canada, presented by WADE
Canada President Anouk
Kendall, are:
affordable energy;
energy solutions for rural
and remote communities;
optimized
industry
integration.
REGULATORY ALERT FERC ORDER 1000

On 21 July, the United States
Federal

Regulatory
Commission (FERC) issued a
landmark policy order that
has the potential to create
opportunities for grid-scale

through significant changes in
the way that interstate electric
transmission companies plan to
meet their system needs and in
the manner that they allocate
costs to their customers.

provider to work within its
transmission planning region to
create a regional transmission
plan that identifies transmission
facilities needed to meet
reliability,
economic,
and
public policy requirements.
Furthermore, each plan must
include
fair
consideration
of lines proposed by nonincumbents...
The 620-page order can be
found at the following address:
www.localpower.org/E-6.pdf
Order No. 1000 will lead to
a flurry of industry activity to
implement its requirements.
Every transmission utility will

need to participate in a regional
transmission planning process
and submit a filing to show
how it is in compliance with the
requirements of the Order within
one year of the effective date,
with interregional compliance
filings due within 18 months.
As result of Order No.
1000, utilities, independent
generators,
suppliers
and
developers
of
renewable
technologies,
merchant
transmission providers, and
end-users have something
at stake. In addition, natural
gas suppliers and generators
and storage projects that
can
provide
alternatives
to transmission or support
integration
of
intermittent
renewables
also
have
significant interests in the new
regulations.
However, while the generic
rule is a positive step forward, the

real test will be implementation
of the new rules on a system
by system basis. Therefore, it is
imperative that all alternatives
to transmission are considered
in these proceedings and that
the cost allocation process
does not discriminate against
non-incumbent
transmission
providers.
WADE
would
like
to
co-ordinate coalitions that will
effectively participate in the
proceedings spawned by Order
No. 1000 to make sure that the
rates, terms and conditions of
service fully take into account
the many system benefits of
decentralized energy.
If you have an interest in
assisting with these efforts
or would like to learn more
please contact David Sweet at
dsweet@localpower.org or at

substantial economic and environmental benefits.
Policymakers, private sector
firms, and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) across
Asia gathered in Manila, the
Philippines, on 2024 June
for the 6th Asia Clean Energy
Forum, New Business Models
and Policy Drivers: Building the
Low-Carbon Future. Diverse
groups of experts participated,
including stakeholders from
governments, national and
multinational banks, carbon
and clean energy investment
funds, project developers
and
service
providers,
environmental
regulators,
academia,
civil
society,
and development partners
and
other
international
organizations.
Sridhar
Samudrala,
Director, Asia, WADE and
Alan Dale Gonzales, Country
Manager, Thailand for WADE
attended the forum and
discussed multiple distributed
energy activities. In particular,
Mr Samudrala was invited to
present on biogas utilization

for small scale-farms in India.
He
discussed
generating
methane from manure to run
a Capstone C30 microturbine.
Citing the example of the
Mukund Dairy farm, Mr
Samudrala also discussed
the process of utilizing the
heat from the microturbine
to generate hot water for
pasteurization,
displacing
diesel and wood as fuels.
Using methane also displaced
large amounts of carbon
dioxide and methane from the
atmosphere.
During
the
forum
distinguished experts shared
valuable insights on clean
energy policy and regulation,
financing and investment,
innovative business models,
and energy access. The event
was jointly organized by ADB,
the United States Agency for
International
Development
(USAID), and World Resources
Institute (WRI).
