Put simply, the question people have to answer is this: "Do you want it cheap - or do you want it clean?" July has proved a fertile month for organisations promoting renewable energy issues. There is now a body with worldwide reach called the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) - made up of experts from 129 nations - which has agreed to establish a headquarters in Abu Dhabi from where it will advise on renewable energy. Media reports have suggested that Australia and Japan added their names to the document establishing IRENA just hours before its inaugural conference in Sharm al-Sheik on June 29th - so, clearly, this is viewed as an important development. IRENA’s aim is to offer advice to world governments on technical and financial issues linked to renewable energy and promote and encourage the introduction of this kind of technology across developing countries.

How can we get by with less when the whole world keeps asking for more?
Getting more and more energy from fewer and fewer resources is our never-ending mission.
In addition to excellent availability and utmost reliability, efficiency is a key requirement when it comes to supplying energy for the world’s steadily growing megacities. Basically, it’s all about making best use of all resources. We apply this principle across the entire energy conversion chain to take efficiency to totally new levels. Our new 800 kV transformer, for example, makes possible the efficient transmission of electric energy in the gigawatt range over distances of 1,000 kilometers and more. And our new generation of gas turbines makes combined cycle power plants deliver a record- breaking efficiency of more than 60 per cent. www.siemens.com/energy Answers for energy.

Even some very well-known hire companies will generally oversize a generator to ensure that there are no problems encountered at site. Probably this is quite right as there are major costs involved in shipping generators around the country. For fixed generator applications the load, present and future is usually known at the start, and such loads are becoming increasingly more complex.

CHP SYSTEMS Optimising municipal CHP systems for users
Drawing on CHP modelling, Asko Vuorinen, General Manager, managing Director of Modigen Ltd, explains how municipal CHP systems can be optimised in terms of profit and efficiency.
unicipal power systems are designed to provide an area of a Mcity with electricity and heat. As an example, let's take Finland - the most northern of the EU countries. The possibilities for CHP generation here are greater than for almost anywhere else in Europe because of the heating needs of its cities. Let's consider the electrical load duration curve of a model city in Finland with, say, 100,000 inhabitants. The peak electricity load would be 250 MW, or 2.5 kW/capita. The electricity consumption is 1,200 GWh, or 12 MWh/capita. The full power hours in the system are 4,800 h/a Engine room of a major CHP project in Hungary [pic. courtesy of Wartsila] (1200 GWh/250 MW). The peak load of heat consumption is pressure steam turbine. It can produce 67 minimum level. Investments needed in 400 MW, or 4 kW/capita. Annual heat MW of electricity and 61 MW of heat.

plants, capacity can reach 2.0 kW/capita. The CHP plants are profitable invest- ments. The costs of power generation are lower because of the high total efficiency, which is 80 - 90%. Maximisation of the CHP capacity can be achieved by building CHP plants which have the highest heat- to-power ratios or alpha values. Local power plants can also be built to be independent of the national grid. Thus, if the grid has a disturbance, the local power system can be separated from the grid. Under this scenario, the local system should be built using smaller power plants that can meet the single Gyor in Hungary: 55% of the peak demand for heat is covered by the CHP plant. failure criterion. plants and heat boilers included in the the largest potential for new CHP This scenario was experienced in system. capacity.

This means using a new kind of abrasive tip material technology for turbine blades, says Scott Wilson and Thomas Peters of Sulzer Innotec. urrent abrasive tip technology available in the market place is Cbased primarily on the use of cubic boron-nitride abrasive particles which are bonded to the blade tip in an oxidation and creep-resistant matrix alloy, using proprietary alloy deposition technology, write Scott Wilson and Thomas Peters. Cubic boron-nitride is one of the hardest materials known, next to diamond, and is an excellent abrasive material. However, it has one drawback; it oxidises rapidly when exposed to temperatures above 900°C and lasts less than 100 hours in the average turbine environment. Several alternative abrasives to cubic boron-nitride were investigated in the EU- funded ABRATIP program (Advanced Abradables and Tip coatings for gas The rotor of a huge gas turbine repaired by Sulzer Turbo Services after a severe turbines), with participation from Sulzer outage in a combined-cycle power plant.
