manufacturing of gas turbines for Asian markets, and the creation of a research and development center in Shanghai. Dongfang Electric Corp. and Harbin Electric are also developing their own prototype gas turbines using in- dependent intellectual property rights and progressing with test facilities and hot section manufacturing capa- bilities. Several other companies are developing superal- loy materials, casting technologies and control systems. Hongde contrasted the current power structure in China with the estimated structure in 2025. Coal currently produces 68.2% of the country’s power, although this is predicted to fall to 55% by 2025. Gas turbines cur- rently produce 3.3% (5% by 2025); hydropower yields 21.8% (20% by 2025); renewables make up 5.6% (17% by 2025); and nuclear totals 1.1% (3% by 2025). While Hongde said Chinese gas turbine combined- cycle plants have a “bright future” in China, some uncer- tainty still exists. One influence on the potential growth of gas turbines usage in China is maintenance costs, including those for hot section parts repair and spare parts. The costs can be very high, resulting in low profitability and creating a negative impact among potential investors and managers. “Gas turbines play a very important role in the Chinese energy sector’s reconstruction towards higher energy effi- ciency, less pollution and lower carbon intensity,” Hongde said. “The Chinese gas turbine industry and scientific com- munity are developing core technologies with independent intellectual property rights to meet the increasing domestic market demand. “The Chinese gas turbine market in coming decades pro- vides a great opportunity for international cooperation in all aspects of gas turbine development.” A

“Shipowners want better performance at a lower price and society wants clean- er oceans,” said Mikael Makinen, Rolls- Royce, president – Marine. “This new family of engines will deliver what our customers need in terms of cost and the environment. We have been develop- ing this engine over the past three years, and part of its future success will be due to the excellent collaboration and shar- ing of engine technology between our experts in Bergen, Norway, and Fried- richshafen, Germany. “This modular engine architecture not only builds and improves on our existing capability but gives us an en- gine family that is truly engineered for the future, with numerous configura- tions and multiple fuel options. It fits perfectly with our vision of providing better power for a changing world,” Makinen said. As the series name suggests, a bore of 330 mm with 450 mm stroke has been selected for the range. Running speed is from 450 to 750 r/min as a marine propulsion engine on propel- ler law, and 720/750 r/min for gen- set drive delivering 60/50 Hz power, respectively. Variable valve timing ensures the engine always receives the ideal amount of air for maximum responsiveness and efficiency, the company said.

It supports the balanced crankshaft, which is the same for both propulsion and genera- tor applications. Cylinders are indi- vidual units that can be removed com- plete within a service height of 2.52 m above the crankshaft center-line. Con- necting rods are of the marine three- piece type, allowing piston removal without disturbing big end bearings. The strengthened camshaft design has one section per cylinder for ease of re- placement, the company said. Another feature is a reduction in the amount of external pipework. This has been achieved by putting the oil bores into the cylinder heads and joining the passages with simple transfer blocks. The system is com- mon rail ready, with the conventional

Pre-fabricated and modular the Bergen power plant design delivers the solution electricity power markets demand, a cost effective, flexible system with the highest levels of performance and reliability. Using pre- engineered packages, power plants from 2MW to 200MW and beyond can be configured for power generation or CHP (Combined Heat and Power) operation. Capable of running in isolated mode, or in parallel to the grid at times when electricity prices are high, Bergen generating plant can operate at low variable costs with minimal environmental effect.

Breakthrough non-SCR diesel technology meets EPA Tier 4i and IMO Tier IIII compliance

As a global leader in emissions-reducing solutions, GE Marine again is at the forefront with its innoinnovvaativetive non-SCR diesel technology that requires no urea-based after-treatment. This advanced technologynology reeducesduces key emissions by more than 70% and enables in-engine compliance with EPA Tier 4i and IMOO Tier III emissions standards.

The result of an eight-year investment, this breakthrough non-SCR diesel engine technology: • Available on GE Marine’s L250 and V250 Series Diesel Engines • Eliminates SCR and urea use and storage to preserve cargo, accommodation and tank spaceacece •

• Reducing ship design complexity and shipyard installation time and cost
