growing demand for natural gas and dual-fuel power generation technologies, largely influenced by the increasing availability of fuel resources and government initiatives towards reducing carbon emissions. “Gas is becoming increasingly available and gas generation technologies are progressively finding application in bigger and longer duration projects, making the upfront investment for gas infrastructure economically sensible. The availability of dual-fuel generators, which simplifies the transition from diesel-run to gas- run generators, is also facilitating wider acceptance for gas power generation technologies.” Multi-megawatt supplemental power technologies are primed to work in tandem with renewable energy sources to help surmount issues of power supply unpredictability and intermittency, especially in power-intensive industries like oil and gas, construction, utility power generation, transmission and distribution.

Speaking with Technical Review Middle East, experts maintain that district cooling is expanding rapidly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and sustainable technologies rule the roost. Ghaleb Abussa, engineer – arbitrator at Peer Review & Advisory Services, says, “District cooling, by default, is huge in size and it mostly comes as water-cooled systems, thereby reducing power consumption that is lower than individual air-cooled chillers or standalone systems.

Johnson Controls Inc. on what considerations should be made when switching to alternatives in high ambient temperature (HAT) countries, such as the UAE.

HE PRESSURE IS on the refrigeration industry to reduce the Tuse of refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP). The Montreal Protocol originally signed in 1987 focussed on refrigerants affecting the ozone layer that protects our world. Without the ozone layer life, as we know it, would not be possible. In 2009 and years following, the big issue had been the growing concerns about the climate change caused by emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a number of gases mentioned under the Kyoto Protokol as the basket of six gases, namely CO2, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). The pathway from Dubai to Kigali on 15 October 2016, ended with an Figure 1: Montreal phase down and EU F-Gas regulation. amendment to the Montreal Protocol so that HFCs are now part of the protocol. For many countries, the phase-out of HCFC becomes a little more complex now that the new amendment includes some of the alternatives to HCFC-22 and introduces a phase down. The amendment is new in the sense that the phase down is calculated in CO2 equivalents. What will this mean for industrial refrigeration systems?

Industrial refrigeration Industrial refrigeration systems are characterised as large systems with Table 1: The phase down in the EU market. capacities from 100kW up to many MW. In many cases industrial refrigeration plants are based on ammonia as the working fluid but there are also man-made systems originally based on HCFC-22. Industrial refrigeration systems are used in a wide evaporation temperature range from -80°C to 40°C and condensing temperatures from 10°C to 90°C, or in some special cases, much higher. The latter are now being phased out due to the Montreal Protocol’s requirements. An alternative to changing the system to a new system is to ‘retrofit’. The term retrofit could indicate a simple solution to the problem when an owner of a HCFC-22 system wants to convert to another refrigerant. However, there are many things to consider and there are no true retrofit refrigerants. There are some things you have to consider and Table 2: Slected Class A1 solutions for retrofitting.

Hyper-local forecasting is very important when forecasting weather, for example, one area can differ significantly compared with the adjacent area, hour by hour.

58 The rise and shine of solar power

The conference focuses on PV, PV production technologies and energy storage systems, with an aim to become the most important platform for manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, service providers and partners in the global solar industry.

ECENT DATA INDICATES that energy demand in the Middle REast rose by between seven and eight per cent in recent years. Future demand is expected to rise at the same rate and, according to current estimates, demand will top 1,000 terawatts in 2017. As a result, energy supplies will need to double every decade. Over the next 10 years, the Gulf States will require 100 GW of additional energy. At the Intersolar Middle East Conference which took place on 26-27 September 26 in Dubai, 86 international speakers presented past, present and future PV market developments. A total of 408 attendees made the Intersolar conference the biggest standalone PV conference in the region. With an aim to provide a unique platform for the region’s solar power development, the conference enabled the stakeholders and decision makers to network and discuss strategies and collaborate to grow their businesses in the region.
