  • Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
    6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840.

  • Application Note VC6000 at Huntly Power Station
    Application Note VIBROCONTROL 6000™ at Huntly Power Station Introduction Genesis Energy’s Huntly Power Station is located on the banks of the Waikato River between Hamilton and Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. The station was commissioned from 1982 to 1985 and consists of four 250 MW, single reheat turbo- alternators made by Parsons in UK. Figure 1 Panorama view of Genesis Huntley Power Station The Huntly machines are unique in that the foundations are designed with earthquake isolation in mind and are all steel. The flexible nature of these foundations meant that the generator inboard bearing had a resonance at running speed and the generator 2nd critical was just below the running speed which makes these machines extremely sensitive to couple imbalance. Monitoring Strategy Figure 2 Machine Hall In 1995 the OEM monitoring system was replaced with the Classic Compass system to facilitate better monitoring and protection. In 2011 the Compass system on two of the units was upgraded to the new VC-6000™ system.

    “Q2 performance reflects our strong commitment to New Zealand’s people, resources and potential” QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE STATEMENT THIS DISCLOSURE INCLUDES MARKET INFORMATION FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2011 FOR THE 2011/2012 FINANCIAL YEAR IT ALSO INCLUDES OPERATIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS (FIRST HALF) OF 2011/2012 2 | Second Quarter 2011/12 INTRODUCTION Genesis Energy‟s customer satisfaction result has increased to 93% in Q2 2011/2012 from 1 91% in the Q1 2011/2012 . This result reflects the Company‟s continued focus on delivering an excellent customer experience and improving service levels. During Q2, Genesis Energy launched an Advanced Meter Pricing Tariff trial which offers customers an innovative off peak, shoulder and peak tariff based on different time periods when they use their electricity. At the end of December 2011, the Company had also installed a total of 233,819 advanced meters to support its business and innovation programme. Genesis Energy‟s acquisition campaign in the South Island has continued to progress well with approximately 4,500 new customers acquired in Q2 2011/2012. At the end of December 2011, the Company had 60,714 South Island electricity customers. The electricity wholesale market conditions over Q2 2011/2012 included seasonally warm temperatures and improved hydrological conditions which contributed to moderate prices in the wholesale market over the period. Genesis Energy‟s total generation in Q2 2011/2012 was up 12.4% at 1,791GWh compared to 1,593GWh in the same quarter last year, supported by increased renewable generation. On 11 November 2011, the Company lodged its resource consent applications with the 2 Waikato Regional Council for the on-going operation of the 1,448 Huntly Power Station .

Assessment of the Life Cycle-Based Environmental Impacts of New Zealand Electricity A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Management at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Edgar Eduardo Sacayon Madrigal 2015 ABSTRACT The life cycle-based environmental impacts of New Zealand electricity arise from the different energy generation systems used to provide electricity to the national grid, and construction, maintenance and operation of the national electricity transmission and distribution system. Due to the high share of hydropower in the New Zealand electricity mix, base load electricity is rainfall dependent and its variable supply is balanced by generation from fossil fuelled power plants, geothermal, and to a lesser extent from wind, biogas and biomass power. This temporal variability of energy sources in the mix changes the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results for New Zealand electricity when the environmental impacts are assessed over different time periods. Therefore, this research had two main objectives: to conduct an LCA of electricity generation, and to assess the influence of temporal variation in the electricity mix on LCA results. Using the ecoinvent v 3.1 database and New Zealand-specific data, an LCA model of electricity generation and use was developed for the year 2013. The LCA results, using the CML 2001 – Apr.

  • Coal Strategies for the Huntly Power Station
    143 NZOH Volume 11 Number 2 July 1983 COAL STRATEGIES FOR THE HUNTLY POWER STATION W. R, BAKER UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND SU1MARY The development and use of a method (1) for determining least cost coal strategies at the Huntly power station is described. The core is a simulation model of the New Zealand power system with two regions, load/flow variation within the year, stochastic hydro inflows and reservoir management rules. The latter are developed by stochastic dynamic programming. The method treats uncertainties in power requirements, oil prices and coal output build-up via scenarios. The method enables explicit consideration of possible regret in optimisation. 1. I N T R O D U C T I O N Huntly Power Station (HPS) is a 960 MW thermal power station currently being commissioned in the North Island of New Zealand. The station can use either natural gas or local Waikato coal for fuel. Gas availability is limited and specified. So the HPS considered is in reality the coal fuelled section of the station, which is fairly low in the merit order of power station fuel costs. Therefore HPS will probably initially provide energy firming by generating electricity at high loads only when the dominant hydro generation system experiences low inflows. Average annual HPS generation should increase as electricity demands increase, with the station being baseloaded eventually. HPS's energy firming fuel use may vary greatly within and between years. When base- loaded at 70% plant factor HPS requires about 2,600,000 tonnes of coal to generate 5800 gWh/yr.

    Registered Office: Level 2, 395 Collins Street Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Telephone (03)8611 5320 4th December 2013 ACQUISITION OF CROYDON COAL LTD 3D Resources Ltd. (“3D Resources” or “the company”) is pleased to announce it has agreed to acquire Croydon Coal Ltd (“Croydon Coal”) a New Zealand company which owns a 100% interest in a Tangarakau Coalfield exploration project which the Company believes can potentially offer the company a commercial underground coal project in the short to medium term. The acquisition is subject to any regulatory approvals which may be required. Background 3D Resources has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of Croydon Coal, a New Zealand company that holds 100% of Exploration Permit 40752. This permit covers a strategic part of the “Tangarakau Coalfield”, which is recognised as one of the largest continuous coal fields in the Taranaki and King Country coalfields of New Zealand. EP40752 (shaded Green) For personal use only EP40752 is located 40 kilometres south west from the farming town of Taumarunui, and 100km south west from the city of Hamilton. More importantly it is located within a few kilometres of the Okahukura to Stratford railway line that offers transport options for the coal into both the local market, as well as the export market through the port of New Plymouth. This port is uncongested and can accommodate panamax vessels. EP40752 surrounds Mining Permit MP41511 and shares the old underground workings of an old State coal mine, the “Tatu State Mine” in the southern boundary of the two permits. From 1940 to 1971, this mine produced over a million tonnes of thermal coal from underground mining, for local domestic consumption.

  • Mccutcheon, J.M. Operation of Huntly Power Station Including Coal
    23 Proceedings ORSNZ August 1981 OPERATION OF HUNTLY POWER STATION INCLUDING COAL SUPPLY J.M. Mc Cu t c h e o n El e c t r i c i t y D i v i s i o n , M i n i s t r y o f En e r g y In this paper the operation of Huntly power station is discussed in terms of its projected role within the New Zealand electricity system. Aspects of coal supply including underground and opencast mining and coal stockpiling are considered ufeing linear programming and Monte Carlo modelling techniques. 1. Introduction Huntly power station which will soon be commissioned is expected to run as a hydro-firming station for several years. In this mode of operation Huntly would be expected to run at maximum capacity in years when inflows to the electricity systems storage lakes are low ('dry' years) and at minimum output when inflows are high ('wet' years) sub­ ject to there being demand for power. When the four units at Huntly, each rated at 250 MW, are commis­ sioned the station will have the capability of consuming some 2600 kT of coal per year. Even in the event of a very wet year there will always be approximately 350 kT of coal consumed in order to maintain full operational capability. Although the output of Huntly can vary widely there are limitations to the amount of variability that coal mining operations can accommodate. For this reason stockpiling of large quantities of coal must be investigated. However the problem cannot be confined to just the Huntly power station and mines.
