Hitachi ABB Power Grids unveils transformers portfolio Photo Credit: Hitachi ABB Credit: Hitachi Photo

The portfolio of transformers will be installed on floating offshore substations and floating wind turbines in deep waters, where traditional solutions are not feasible.

HITACHI ABB POWER Grids has revealed a portfolio of transformer products for offshore floating applications, designed to overcome the challenging offshore environment and withstand the physically demanding conditions on floating structures. The portfolio will enable much greater volumes of wind to be efficiently harvested and integrated into the global energy system, directly supporting the transition to a sustainable energy future. Building offshore presents many challenges beyond the harsh saltwater environment. So far, only a small fraction of offshore potential has been exploited, as in many areas the seabed is not suitable and depths of 60 metres are not feasible for fixed structures. Floating substations and floating wind turbines offer a solution, which can be used in deeper waters, vastly increasing the available global capacity for developing offshore wind energy. Yet floating systems come with their challenges: over their entire lifetime, they are constantly in motion and can be exposed to vibrations and shocks from waves up to 15 metres in height. “Our world­class engineers take pride in pioneering innovative solutions that overcome harsh offshore conditions and ultimately, help move society towards a sustainable energy future,” said Bruno Melles, managing director of the Transformers business at Hitachi ABB Power Grids. “Floating electrical systems are an important development in the offshore renewable industry, that will open up tremendous opportunities for clean power,” he added. This portfolio introduces a range of collector step­up transformers, earthing transformers and shunt reactors for floating substations plus wind turbine transformers for floating wind turbines, including the industry­leading WindSTAR units. Transformers and shunt reactors are key pieces of equipment in the grid infrastructure, enabling the transmission of electricity generated by offshore wind farms. This complete and qualified equipment range, developed in partnership with leading floating offshore developers, meets challenging operating requirements with a lightweight and modular design made up of specially designed active part, tank, tap changer, accessories and external components. Hitachi ABB Power Grids is committed to powering good for a sustainable energy future, with pioneering and digital technologies, as the partner of choice for enabling a stronger, smarter and greener grid.

Schneider Electric and Wärtsilä unveil sustainable power solution

TECHNOLOGY GROUP WÄRTSILÄ and Schneider Electric have developed an end­to­end power system reference design, that aims to work on lithium mine operations where grid supply of electricity is not accessible. The design provides for an economically­viable total expenditure, that covers the complete process, including consulting, project design, the power infrastructure, equipment delivery, installation and commissioning. The solution contributes to sustainable lithium production by optimising the efficient delivery and use of energy, and by leveraging microgrids and enabling renewable energy sources. The overall objective of this collaborative development is to provide high efficiency power solutions, with a minimal environmental footprint. The design concept expands to the lifecycle of the mine, and it links the availability and performance of the power generating plant to a mine’s productivity. Shared business case incentives, based on leading performance indicators for power generation, reduce operational costs and enhance power availability, which supports a mine’s production targets. Predictability of parts and decreased maintenance costs reduces the need for working capital Adobe Stock Photo Credit : Photo

The new collaboration between Wärtsilä and Schneider Electric will provide efficient power solutions with a minimal environmental footprint. “The increasing global demand for lithium needed for battery storage applications is putting pressure on mining operations to be as efficient and cost­effective as possible. The power supply is a key element in this, and together we have designed a solution that harnesses the strengths and experience of our two companies. It will not only guarantee a reliable energy supply, but will do so with economic and environmental benefits that will raise the efficiency of the mining operations,” said Jean Nabb, director, strategic partnership, Wärtsilä Energy and Vivek Kapoor, vice­president and regional segment leader, mining, minerals and metals segment at Schneider Electric in a joint statement. Wärtsilä and Schneider Electric signed the framework co­ operation agreement for the development of the design for mining energy solutions in March last year. The parties aim to optimise customer benefit in mining projects by offering solutions based on mutually complementary technologies. The business white paper recommending power generation and electrical distribution for high altitude lithium mine was published in June 2021.

This is bringing with it serious investment from major international investors. A consortium led by the UAE’s Masdar and EDF Renewables, along with Nesma Company, has reached financial close on a

commitment to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 Credit : Photo objectives and its climate goals,” said Masdar chief executive Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi. “Through its National Renewable Energy Programme, Saudi Arabia is fast developing into a global renewable energy player, and Masdar will continue to work closely with the Saudi government and our partners here to help the kingdom achieve its clean energy transition, while reducing environmental impacts in line with the Saudi Green Initiative.” It follows the inauguration of the kingdom’s first utility­scale solar plant earlier this year — the 300 MW Sakaka PV independent power project (IPP). State of the art technology

Nuclear power milestone At the same time, nuclear power is also disrupting the Gulf’s traditional energy mix. The UAE’s Barakah nuclear plant started commercial operations from its Unit 1 at the start of April — a major milestone for the region. The plant, located in the Al Dhafrah region of Abu Dhabi, is the first nuclear power station in the Arab world and a key part of the Gulf oil producer’s efforts to diversify its energy mix. “After more than a decade of strategic planning, programme development and construction, we are confidently marking the start of a new chapter in for the UAE’s transition to cleaner energy sources,” said HE Mohamed Ibrahim Al Hammadi, ENEC’s chief executive. Despite this advance into nuclear technology, maintaining broad energy diversity remains integral to the UAE’s longer­term plans, which underscores its rationale for rolling out the 2,400 MW Hassyan coal­fired power plant at a cost of US$3.4bn. The first 600 MW unit was hooked up to the grid at the end of 2020 and will play a key role in meeting sustained, base­load demand in the country. There are several other projects underway.

24 Electricals AEGIS Shaft Grounding Rings for electric motors Martin Deiss, sales manager, Europe & Middle East, Electro Static Technology, ITW explains the usefulness of AEGIS Shaft Grounding Rings

All manufacturers of AC motors have motor product lines which are suitable for operation on VFDs. Through precision control of motors with VFDs, at least 30% of energy costs can be saved. However, VFDs can induce unwanted shaft voltages and without effective protection, these voltages can result in motors larger than 75­100 kW. Over time, a corrugation (washboard­like premature bearing failure.

Award Date Q1-2020

Background

As part of its National Vision, Qatar is aiming to generate 20% of its energy from renewables by 2030 and is aiming for 1,800 MW of renewable generation capacity by 2020. The scheme will use a mixture of technologies, including solar thermal, developed in two phases.

Project Status

Date Status

Mar 2021 The construction works are ongoing as per the schedule.

Feb 2021 Hitachi ABB Power Grids has been awarded by PowerChina a contract to provide a 220 kilovolt (kV) grid connection solution for the project.
