Power transmission meets art?

celand has been toying with - but has ultimately rejected - the prospect
of dozens of 150ft-high figures constructed from steel, glass and concrete
erected across the island's volcanic landscape.
Each humanoid electricity pylon can be posed into a different posture, allowing the structures to
reflect different environments. Choi + Shine, the US architecture practice behind the proposal, calls
the humanoid towers "powerful, solemn and variable", and claims it represents a modern take on the
ancient Easter Island statues. Despite their striking appearance, costs would still be kept low as the
figures would require only minor alterations to standard pylon designs.
The architectural company states: "These iconic pylon-figures will become monuments in the landscape. Seeing the pylon-figures will become an unforgettable experience, elevating the towers to
something more than merely a functional design of necessity."
The judging committee of the High-Voltage Pylon Competition, which was
established to find an innovative design for Iceland's new pylon network,
gave the proposals an honourable mention.
Although Landsnet, the company responsible for managing the Iceland's
electricity network, decided not to push ahead with the plans, its
originality has been honoured by the influential Boston Society of
Architects. 'Land of Giants' was one of four winners of the 2010 BSA
annual Unbuilt Architecture Award, which recognises the boldness of
unrealised projects.
While the human pylons not be to everybody's taste, they point towards
more aesthetically-pleasing alternatives to the imposing towers that
currently dominate the countryside worldwide.
The architecture firm said: "Making only minor alterations to well established steel-framed tower
design, we have created a series of towers that are powerful, solemn and variable. These iconic pylonfigures will become monuments in the landscape. Seeing the pylon-figures will become an
unforgettable experience, elevating the
towers to something more than merely a
functional design of necessity."
The figures can be placed into different
poses, with the suggestion that the
landscapes could enhance the position
that the sculpture is placed into. For
example, as a power line ascends a hill,
the pylons could look as if they're
climbing.
It is to be hoped that more energy
companies may see this concept as a
means to turn often ugly and functional
transmission equipment into a thing of
beauty.

In brief...
Turkey seeks grid
privatisation
TEDAS, Turkey's stateowned electricity
distributor, has called for
bids to finalise country's
power grid sell-out.
Turkish consortiums made
total bids of $5.7bn in
privatization tenders to
operate country's four
grids, including country's
largest, Bogazici in
Istanbul's European side.
Other three grids were
Gediz in Turkey's third
largest city Izmir, Trakya
in western Turkey and
Dicle in southeastern
Turkey. TEDAS is set to
call for tenders for three
other grids - Akdeniz
(Antalya, Burdur, Isparta
provinces), Toroslar
(Gaziantep, Hatay, Mersin,
Osmaniye, Adana, Kilis

provinces) and Istanbul

Anadolu (the Asian side of
Istanbul) - to finalise
privatisation of its entire
electricity distribution
network by the end of
November, 2010.

Five turbine
overhaul for BC
British Columbia Hydro
awarded a contract to
Voith Hydro for the
complete overhaul of five
Francis turbine units for
the Gordon M. Shrum
hydroelectric power plant
in British Columbia, one
of the largest turbine
replacement projects BC
Hydro has awarded so far.
As part of the contract,
Voith Hydro will supply
five new 310 MW turbines,
site construction,
installation and start-up.
The overhaul is expected
to improve unit
availability and reliability
and increase the rated
output of each turbine
from 266 MW to 310 MW.

Saudi Electric's Al-Qurayah to use gas

As fuel for its planned 1800 MW AlQurayah power plant, the statecontrolled Saudi Electricity Co (SEC)
will use 300m cubic feet per day
(cfd) of gas instead of fuel oil to
drive its turbines. The plant had
been projected to use heavy fuel oil
as a feedstock. Gas, the more ecofriendly option, means the plant can
be fully on line in 2014, slightly
earlier than for an oil fired plant,
says the company. SEC only recently
secured the gas allocations it needed
to fire the plant in Al-Qurayah, south
of the eastern city of Khobar, Amr alSwaha, head of independent power
producer (IPP) projects, told WIP.
The plant is estimated to cost between $2bn to
$2.5bn and if using fuel oil, had been expected to
be brought on line
in two phases in
2014 and 2015, alSwaha said.
The Middle East
enjoys 40% per cent
of the world's gas
reserves and yet is
suffering from a

supply shortage. The only country in the Gulf with

gas to spare is Qatar. The rest of the region would
burn more if it could.
In Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil exporter,
most of its gas output is associated with oil, so
when it limits production in line with OPEC curbs,
that also curbs gas supplies. The kingdom has set a
target of increasing the production of natural gas-to
15.5bn cfd by 2015 from current levels of 10.2bn
cfd. Al-Qurayah is the third of six planned IPP power
plant projects, which involve the private sector. In
total, the projects should add 11,000 MW.

Hitachi & BGR Energy strike deal

Hitachi, Ltd. and Hitachi Power
Europe GmbH, a Hitachi
subsidiary, have reached an
agreement to establish two joint
ventures with BGR Energy Systems
Limited, a leading EPC Company
for Power Plants. The joint
ventures will design,
manufacture, sell and service
steam turbines/generators and
boilers, respectively, for super
critical thermal power generation
in approximately 660 MW to 1,000
MW range. The establishment of
these joint ventures will put in
place a framework for the
integrated provision of steam
turbines, generators and boilers
in India, augmenting capacity of
power generation equipment and
facilitating growth of power
generation capacity.
As power demand rises in India in
line with its rapid economic

growth, the power generation is

expected to increase significantly
in the next few decades.
In order to meet this demand,
India is expected to begin the
construction of thermal power
plants capable
of generating
around 15GW
per annum of
electricity.
India is thus
poised to
become a
major market
rivalled only
by China.
The Hitachi
Group has a
strong track
record
supplying
many steam
turbines and

generators as well as boilers for

thermal power generation around
the world, and has built up
sophisticated technologies and
expertise in the process.

Argentina = Saudi?
Argentina could become the
'Saudi Arabia of renewable
energy.' Argentina is now
the fifth largest producer of
biodiesel, behind Germany,
the US, France and Brazil.
Argentinean law is also

UPSL appoints David Renton as Global MD

Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Limited (UPSL), a Kohler
company, has announced the
appointment of David Renton to
the role of Global Managing
Director.
Formerly the Chief Operating
Officer for leading data centre
provider Global Switch, Renton
will now lead UPSL through its
strategic international expansion
programme announced in May.
Dick Fotsch, President, Kohler
Global Power Group, told WIP:

"David has demonstrated

sustained success over
many years at several
leading technology companies, including Honeywell,
Chloride Group PLC and
most recently Global
Switch.
While at Chloride Group,
David led the development
and remarkable growth of
the sales and service
operations throughout
Europe and Asia Pacific,"

he tells WIP in a recent interview.

David brings to UPSL a unique combination
of proven management skills and strong
industry knowledge which will enable us to
capitalise on the considerable domestic and
overseas opportunities available. David is a
valuable addition to an already strong
team."
David Renton will lead UPSL's strategic
expansion strategy, which is already
underway, with the first international
office opening in Singapore in June, with
other new locations planned for 2011.
David himself tells WIP: "It's a privilege to
join a dynamic and successful business especially one with such ambitious plans
for growth," he commented.
"UPSL has a product range and service reputation which is already world-class, and
with Kohler's acquisition of the company in
2008, has the opportunity to become a
leading global power protection systems
supplier."
He continued: "Globally, the market for
uninterruptible power supplies has
expanded at an impressive rate over the
past few years and shows no sign of
slowing.
UPSLs new Global Managing Director concludes: In fact, on the contrary, as critical
ITgrow and power demand for IT systems
continues to rise, the considerable need for
advanced modular uninterruptable power
supply technology is also increasing
exponentially - making it the perfect time
to expand globally, as well as increase
UPSL's market share in the UK."

Emerson awarded $US28m Ukraine contract for turbines

EUkrHydroEnergo, the main hydroelectric
generating company of Ukraine, has
awarded Emerson Process Management, an
Emerson business, a US$28 million contract
for automation systems to manage and
control 100 turbine generators in nine
hydroelectric power plants.
The contract is part of UkrHydroEnergo's
Hydropower Rehabilitation Project to
upgrade and modernise the series of eight
plants that were built between 1939 and
1975 and make up the Dnieper River energy
cascade. The project also includes the
Dnestrovskaya hydroelectric power plant
that was built in 1983 on the Dniester River
watershed.
Funding is being provided by a loan from the
World Bank to the government of Ukraine.
With a total capacity of 4639MW, the nine
plants currently provide over 90% of
Ukraine's hydroelectric generating capacity.
Emerson's automation technology will help
UkrHydroEnergo improve process control
and enhance information access for these
plants.
"We selected Emerson as the project's Main
Automation Contractor of SCADA systems for
UkrHydroEnergo's hydroelectric power plants
because Emerson provides advanced
technologies along with the best
competitive value," Semen I. Potashnyk,
Chairman of the Board, UkrHydroEnergo,
told WIP. "It's also important that Emerson
has great industry expertise and experience
providing similar solutions for other hydroelectric projects."
Steve Sonnenberg, president of Emerson
Process Management, concludes: "This is
another joint project with UkrHydroEnergo
where our Ovation expert system will be
used. We are delighted that they have also
chosen us for this major modernisation
program."
Each of the nine UkrHydroEnergo
hydroelectric plants will be monitored and
controlled by an Ovation system, while
Ovation supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) technology will
integrate and communicate information
from all 100 turbine generators so operators
can transfer important data between
generating sites and UkrHydroEnergo and
national dispatch centres.Rosemount & CSI
vibration monitoring systems, and AMS Suite
software is also being supplied.

sharewatch

Chloride forms a stable compound

Important goings on over the last few months amongst the sharewatch companies
were finally resolved this last month with the takeover of Chloride by Emerson.
This resolves a long and drawn-out takeover involving another sharewatched com-

fter a prolonged bidding war, British

firm Chloride eventually succumbed
to a bid of approximately 1 billion
- surmounting a previous bid by ABB. This
planned 'knock-out' by American company
Emerson, after a long tit-for-tat with ABB
ended triumphantly as ABB decided
against trying to once again top the
Americans bid.
This, sadly, meant the end of an almost
unprecedented period of growth in
Chloride's history. Speculation has this
year has boosted Chloride's shares by
almost 50% since April - and an astonishing 156% since last year!
This confirms Chloride's position as the
most successful of the companies monitored in the sharewatch this year. No
other company can approach more than
doubling its share value since this time
last year.
In other economic news this month,
several Highstreet banks reported a return
to huge profits this week; largely as a
result of a uniformly resurgent investment
banking sector.
Barclays reported nearly 4 billion in
profits, only topped by HSBC's earlier
announcement of 7 billion. The vast
majority of these profits are thought to

NPS behind wind turbine campaign

for Northern England
With the backing of the US Company Northern Power Systems, Segen's UK-based arm has
been pitching to establish wind farms equipped with 100kw wind turbines at specific locations
based in Northern England. WIP has the story.

orthern Power Systems has over 30

years of experience in developing
advanced, innovative wind
turbines. The companys next-generation
wind turbine technology is based on a
vastly simplified architecture which uses a
unique combination of a permanent
magnet generator and direct-drive design.
This revolutionary new approach delivers
higher energy capture, eliminates drivetrain noise, and significantly reduces
maintenance and downtime costs, says
NPS. Northern Power Systems is a fully
integrated company which designs,
manufactures, and sells wind turbines into
the global marketplace from its HQ in
Vermont, USA with offices in Boston and
Zurich, Switzerland.
Segen, the UK's largest installer of small
wind turbines, is currently a distributor of
the Northwind 100 wind turbine from
Northern Power Systems into the UK.
Providing 100 kilowatts of rated power,
the unit is said to be techlogically
advanced with an innovative gearless

14

design. The turbine

is able to generate
power at wind
speeds as low as
three metres per
second (6 mph)
and can provide
clear economic
benefits in all
kinds of wind
regimes, says the
manufacturer.
The state-of-theart power
converter design
provides smooth,
clean power to
local grids, simplifying grid interconnect
and adding to grid stability to make the
Northwind 100 the best choice, reports
the company.
Northern Power Systems produces a
larger model - the 2.2MW turbine
designed for industrial applications called
the Northwind 2.2
Both it and the 100 use the relatively
unusual direct-drive permanent magnet
system instead of a more conventional
gearbox in the nacelle, which the
company says is lighter, more efficient
and less maintenance-intensive.
In May 2010 Northern Power Systems,
Inc. announced the shipment of its 100th
Northwind 100 turbine over the past
year, highlighting a customer base that
now includes owners in more than 15 U.S.
states and four countries internationally.
This significant milestone combined with
strong projected sales for 2010 illustrates
the exceptional growth in the community
scale wind market.
The shipment of our 100th Northwind
sends a powerful message our proven

AUGUST 2010

wind power technology is providing real

cost savings, emissions reductions and
energy security for businesses, schools,
farms and communities around the
world, Parthiv Amin, President of
Community Wind at Northern Power
Systems, told WIP.
With installations that include a high
school in Wisconsin, a printing press in
Connecticut, a hospital in the UK and
rugged remote village settings in Alaska,
Northern Powers 100kW turbines make
turbine ownership a simple and smart
investment.
Unlike older gearbox-based designs or
unproven turbines from new
manufacturers, the gearless, direct drive
Northwind 100 stands apart with its quiet
operation, high reliability, safety and
performance certifications and full 24/7
monitoring support. Northern Powers
global turbine fleet consistently achieves
uptime availability of 98% or greater.

DIESEL ENGINES

New power ratings for lineup of

Interim Tier 4 diesel engines
John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) has announced the generator drive power ratings for its entire
lineup of Interim Tier 4 diesel engines. The new power ratings are the latest addition to a lineup
of standby and prime gen-set engines which meet emissions regulations around the world.

ost people in the industry will

know that for prime power
applications, Interim Tier 4
emissions regulations begin on January
1st, 2011 for 130 kW (174 hp) and above
engines and require a 90% reduction in
diesel particulate matter (PM) and a 50%
reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) from
previous Tier 3 requirements.
The new, more stringent emissions
regulations represent both a challenge
and, at the same time, an opportunity for
the industry to contribute to protecting
our environment.
"We have built our gen-set engine lineup
upon simple, fuel-efficient and field
proven technologies which enable John
Deere to help leading generator
manufacturers meet increasingly stringent
emissions regulations," Vincenzo Perrone,
power generation business manager for
JDPS, tells WIP.
"Our lineup of John Deere Interim Tier 4
generator-drive engines also offers
exceptional power density in a compact
size, which provides customers with
greater installation flexibility."
For engines 56 kW (75 hp) and above,
John Deere will start with its proven
PowerTech Plus Tier 3 engine platform,
which includes cooled exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) for NOx control, and
add an exhaust filter for reducing PM.
These engines will feature full-authority
electronic controls, a four-valve cylinder
head, a high-pressure fuel system,
turbocharging and an air-to-air
aftercooling system.
Engines between 56 kW (75 hp) and 129
kW (173 hp) will be available in 4.5L and
6.8L displacements and will be equipped
with either a wastegate or variable
geometry turbocharger depending upon
the size of the engine. Engines below 56

Magellan to build new combined

cycle plant for Ghana by 2012
A combined cycle plant will be built by Magellan Aerospace in Takoradi, Ghana, by 2012.
This will provide 132 MW of electric power and will generate revenues of US$185m, says the
company. WIP looks at the elements of the project and the consortium behind it.

ollowing an agreement signed last

year between Magellan Aerospace
Corporation, Ghana's Ministry of
Energy and the Canadian Commercial
Corporation, Magellan has begun work on
a turnkey electric power generation plant
in Ghana.
The contract is estimated to generate
revenues of US$185 million and the project will be delivered over a 24-month
period by Magellan's Orenda Aerospace
operating division of Mississauga, Ontario.
The project is targeted to produce 132
MW of electric power for Ghana and will
be situated near the port of Takoradi.
Under the contract Magellan will procure
four gas turbines in combined cycle which
will have a dual fuel capability to run on
light crude oil or on natural gas when it
becomes available on site.
Zorya-Mashproekt of the Ukraine will
supply gas turbines to Magellan for the
project. These turbines have a long
history of performance based on similar
fuels, and both fuels have been approved

for use in the units to be

supplied.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are being installed on an increasing number of
gas turbines worldwide. AAF has reviewed hundreds of thousands of plant operating hours,
revealing that the energy payback of HEPA filters can be measured in days.

ost gas turbine OEM specifications,

past and present, call for a final
fine filter with a classification of
F9 or less, writes James Ross of AAF
Power & Industrial.
HEPA filtration (H10 to H14) was
originally developed for clean room and
pharmaceutical applications. The primary
reason for selecting HEPA filters, up to
H12 classification, has been to maintain
clean compressor blades and reduce water
wash requirements. The impediment to
HEPA filtration has been the perception
that increased filter differential pressure
leads to less power output.
AAF's work has led to the counterintuitive conclusion that more power is
obtained with HEPA filters than with fine
filters only. Initial power loss due to
increased dP is offset by higher
compressor efficiency and more output
within four weeks. That is, the energy
payback period of HEPA filtration is less
than 28 days.
Engine performance and component life
are impacted by the total mass of airborne contaminant ingested; deposits
decrease the air flow performance of the
inlet compressor due to degradation in
blade shape and surface finish. Ultimately
the overall performance of the turbine is
greatly affected. HEPA filtration provides

UPS/batteries - the backup

approach is best for power supplies
Today, UPS systems are indispensable. Whereas in the past only the most essential installations
were protected against mains failure by a UPS system, nowadays their compact technology and
low prices mean that they are used to protect all vulnerable components, says JOVYATLAS.

you cant. Thats why todays power engineers are keen to keep abreast of new
developments out there, in the world at
large.
JOVYATLAS GmbH, a German corporation selling UPS across five continents,
offers a variety of highly-specialised UPS
and power-rectifier systems.
The JOVYTEC P, for example, is available
in 700, 1000,1500, 2000 and 3000 VA
power ratings. This new series features an
online dual transformer configuration
which enables it to meet the
requirements of protection class VFI-SS111.
The JOVYSTAR PRO, on the other hand,
is available with power outputs of 60, 80,
100, 125 and 160 kVA. The JOVYSTAR PRO
features a digitised control system.
By providing two entirely independent
micro processors to control the rectifier

Verdant Powers freeflow turbines making energy
Wouldn't it be nice if we could generate clean power from rivers
without having to dam them? That's what Verdant Power is trying to
do with its free flow turbines. The province of Ontario is investing
C$2.2 million into a project to demonstrate the feasibility and
commercial viability of using free flow turbines to harness some of
the St. Lawrence River's kinetic energy and turn it into electricity.
This project is for 15
megawatts, enough to power
11,000 average-sized homes,
but Verdant estimates that
"there is enough potential
power in the water currents of
Canada's tides, rivers and manmade channels to generate
15,000 MW of electricity using
its technology".

Siemens takes Quick Stab from SCS Info Tech
Siemens Energy has acquired Quick Stab from SCS Info Tech in New
York, a software package used to prevent blackouts in power supply
grids, thus expanding its portfolio by a further key component for
setting up smart grids. This software is already in use among utilities
in Asia and Europe, Latin America and the USA. Quick Stab can not
only be used to enhance the stability of grids, but also provides for
permanent monitoring, warning the control center when a power
failure seems imminent on account of changes to grid utilisation and
flow of power within the grid. Operating power supply grids without
being familiar with their defined stability limits is always a risky
matter. These limits shift continuously during operation, brought
about by the changing load on the grid. The first step in avoiding
blackouts is to render the grid operator capable of rapidly
determining at any time how far the power supply grid actually is
from a state of voltage instability
