The areas considered were: a Maximum feasible build rates for Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) power stations The maximum feasible build rate for CCGT has been found to be 6 GW per year and the maximum feasible build rate for OCGT has been found to be 4 GW per year. Before 2017 these values are lower as a plant would need to have begun construction to be commissioned in these years. In 2014 and 2015 the maximum build rate is zero and in 2016 it is 0.9 GW. Table 2 shows how the build rates may be combined if both CCGT and OCGT are built in the same year. b The factors that could affect the variation in costs for CCGT and OCGT power stations A wide range of factors was considered including location, type of plant, international market, commercial, technical and design factors, regulation and cost of equipment. Interactions between these factors were also considered. Tables 8 and 9 show the maximum and minimum values for individual inputs affected by these factors. Table 10 shows realistic low and high cost cases for 900 MW CCGT plant; Tables 11 and 12 show realistic low and high cost cases for Large Frame Standby Plant and Aeroderivative Peaking Plant. c The technologies which could be applied to existing coal fired power plants in order to attain compliance with the forthcoming Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) A number of technologies have been described that reduce NOx emissions for coal fired plant. Only two technologies can be retrofitted that will meet the criteria for the IED. These are Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Hybrid SCR/Selective Non- Catalytic Reduction (SNCR). Hybrid SCR/SNCR is technically feasible but to the authors’ knowledge has not been implemented on any plant. SNCR has not yet been applied at full scale in coal plant. There are a number of uncertainties associated with the hybrid approach due to its first of a kind nature, however as both technologies are applied at different points in the cycle they are essentially independent, which reduces the likelihood of any problems with applying both in sequence. There may be technical issues to be dealt with however as both technologies have been successfully retrofitted to coal plant separately it is unlikely that any such problems would be serious enough to render the hybrid unworkable. d The costs of retrofitting SCR, and Hybrid SCR/SNCR A number of sources were used to produce estimates of SCR and Hybrid SCR/SNCR retrofit costs. Table 18 shows the range of each input assumption, covering both SCR and Hybrid SCR/SNCR (with Hybrid values highlighted to differentiate them), and Table 19 shows the central cost estimates for SCR and Hybrid. 286861A Report v 3.0 Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff March 2014 for DECC - 5 - Coal and Gas Assumptions e The Work required for Plant Life Extension of existing power stations Work required to extend the life of existing coal, CCGT and OCGT plants has been described and cost estimates have been produced. Most costs would fall under the standard Operation and Maintenance (O&M) cost that is already included in the model, and only additional costs that would not typically occur during the lifetime of the plant have been considered. All of the life extension works could be undertaken during planned outages. Table 24 shows the costs for a 10-year life extension of coal plant, Table 26 shows the costs for a 10-year life extension of CCGT plant, For OCGT plant life extension should be covered by the O&M cost. For CCGT a cost is presented for upgrade of plant to meet emissions limits; this applies to some operating plant in the UK but not to others. Apart from this value no costs have been included for upgrade work. The decision to extend the life of a plant would take into account not just the costs of life extension, but also the cost of continuing O&M and the cost of upgrades required e.g. to meet new legislative limits. The value of keeping the plant operating would be heavily dependent on the number of operating hours expected per year. As plant ages it becomes more obsolete and will be lower on the merit order, so it will operate less. If plant life is extended long term eventually it will become impossible to find spares and the cost of O&M would increase as bespoke spares need to be manufactured. No cost estimates have been produced for such long term life extension. 286861A Report v 3.0 Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff March 2014 for DECC - 6 - Coal and Gas Assumptions 1 INTRODUCTION Parsons Brinckerhoff was asked by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to undertake work in relation to the future use of gas and coal power plant technology in the UK and the associated modelling assumptions.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract The London Borough of Brent aims to reduce its carbon emissions via implementation of decentralized energy schemes including combined heat and power systems. The objective of this project was to aid Brent in the early stages of its decentralized energy master planning. By examining policies of other boroughs and studying major development areas within Brent, the WPI project team has concluded that the council must actively facilitate the development of decentralized energy systems through the use of existing practices and development of well supported policies. i Authorship Page This report was developed through a collaborative effort by the project team: Anthony Aldi, Karen Anundson, Andrew Bigelow, and Andrew Capulli.

  • Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution
    BANKSIDE POWER STATION: PLANNING, POLITICS AND POLLUTION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Stephen Andrew Murray Centre for Urban History University of Leicester 2014 Bankside Power Station ii Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution Stephen Andrew Murray Abstract Electricity has been a feature of the British urban landscape since the 1890s. Yet there are few accounts of urban electricity undertakings or their generating stations. This history of Bankside power station uses government and company records to analyse the supply, development and use of electricity in the City of London, and the political, economic and social contexts in which the power station was planned, designed and operated. The close-focus adopted reveals issues that are not identified in, or are qualifying or counter-examples to, the existing macro-scale accounts of the wider electricity industry. Contrary to the perceived backwardness of the industry in the inter-war period this study demonstrates that Bankside was part of an efficient and profitable private company which was increasingly subject to bureaucratic centralised control. Significant decision-making processes are examined including post-war urban planning by local and central government and technological decision-making in the electricity industry. The study contributes to the history of technology and the environment through an analysis of the technologies that were proposed or deployed at the post-war power station, including those intended to mitigate its impact, together with an examination of their long-term effectiveness. Bankside made a valuable contribution to electricity supplies in London until the 1973 Middle East oil crisis compromised its economic viability.

In either case the local authority had the right supply was soon made available to local shopkeepers. Demand soon to purchase the company concerned after 21 years (or at 7-year precipitated the building of permanent plant that was complete by intervals thereafter) and to regulate maximum prices. There was no December 1884. The boiler house was on the south side of the power to supply beyond local authority areas or to interconnect intervening passage called Bloomfield Street and was connected with systems. It is importantprinted to note that the act did not prevent the generating plant in the Gallery’s basement by means of an creation of supply companies which could generate and distribute underground passage.

    London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) Level 2 APPENDIX D BARKING RIVERSIDE Appendix D Barking Riverside Prepared by WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff August 2017 for London Borough of Barking & Dagenham London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) Level 2 BARKING RIVERSIDE Area Name: Barking Riverside Location: Barking River Catchment: River Roding/River Thames NPPF Flood Zone (majority of area): Flood Zone 1 NPPF Flood Zone (worst case): Flood Zone 3a Introduction The Barking Riverside strategic development site is approximately 1.75km2 in area and is located in the south of Barking and Dagenham (refer to Appendix A). The site is bounded by the railway line and the Thames Road strategic development site to the north, Dagenham Dock strategic development site to the east, the River Thames to the south, and Creekmouth strategic development site, Trafalgar Business Centre and River Road Business Park to the west. Barking Reach Power Station is located in the centre of Barking Riverside but is not included in the strategic development site boundary. In addition, the housing estate at Galleons Drive and Marine Drive along with a number of other smaller areas to the west of the power station are also excluded from the site boundary. This area is currently being developed as part of the Barking Riverside Development which was granted planning permission in 2007. The Barking Riverside Development will provide more than 10,000 homes over the next 15 years with over 650 homes completed to date and a further 698 units due for completion in 2017.

  • Barking Town Centre Energy Action Area Implementation Plan
    Barking Town Centre Energy Action Area Implementation Plan www.barking-dagenham.gov.uk July 2006 A Route Map for Barking Town Centre Energy Action Area Executive Summary Introduction The London Energy Partnership’s Energy Action Area initiative was proposed in the Mayor’s Energy Strategy in January 2004 and launched by the Energy Minister, Malcolm Wicks, and Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, in July 2005. Barking Town Centre is one of just four areas in London to be selected by the London Energy Partnership for this status. As a new initiative there is little experience of how the status might be translated into reality for an area of London. This report is intended to set out that information in detail and in effect it provides a route map for the implementation of an Energy Action Area in Barking Town Centre. Energy Action Areas are conceived in essence as “showcase low carbon communities”1. This report builds on work carried out in an options appraisal that set out some of the costs and options to Barking Town Centre becoming a low carbon community. It extends this work by examining the scope not just for new build areas but also existing housing/buildings which, without intervention, will be responsible for the majority of carbon emissions, once regeneration plans have been implemented. The Vision The Low Carbon Options Appraisal published in September 2005 illustrates that community heating and combined heat and power (CHP) provide the most cost effective way for Barking Town Centre to become a low carbon community. The vision set out in this report for Barking Town Centre Energy Action Area is therefore of an area wide heating system served by one or more CHP based heat sources.

  • Barking Riverside, Renwick Road, Barking-16
    Barking and Dagenham Council Date: 27 July 2016 Development Control Board Application No. 16/00131/OUT Ward: Thames Reason for Referral to The application is a strategic development which is of a scale DCB as set out in Part 2, and importance that should be determined at DCB. Chapter 9 of the Council Constitution Address: Barking Riverside Renwick Road Barking Essex Development: Application for variation of all conditions following grant of planning permission 08/00887/FUL for the redevelopment of the site known as Barking Riverside. BRL: Barking Riverside Ltd (BRL) Summary: The application site is known as Barking Riverside (formerly Barking Reach) which is a 179.3 hectare site of brownfield land historically associated with the old Barking Power Station. Barking Riverside was originally granted planning permission in August 2007 (Ref: 04/01230/OUT – see background). A subsequent Section 73 planning application (a mechanism used to agree variations to existing planning conditions) was approved in July 2009 (Ref: 08/00887/FUL – see background) to vary a number of conditions attached to the original planning permission. It is this second variant planning permission (Ref: 08/00887/FUL) which has been implemented by Barking Riverside Ltd (BRL) and as at July 2016, 734 new homes have been built within Stage 1 and with a further 414 new homes under construction with completion by Summer 2017. This is another Section 73 application which seeks to vary conditions in respect of the implemented July 2009 planning permission. The purpose of this application is to establish a revised outline planning permission for the Barking Riverside development based on an amended set of parameter plans.
