COVER STORY: RENEWABLE TOP PLANTS

34 Copper Mountain Solar 1, Boulder City, Nevada
The current holder of the title for largest U.S. photovoltaic plant is a 48-MW installation in the Nevada desert. Its also the first to operate under a unique pseudo-tie
pilot program that allows an out-of-state renewable generator to deliver electricity
as if it were directly connected to the California Independent System Operator.
38 EnBW Baltic 1, Darss-Zingst Peninsula, Mecklenburg Province, Germany

Germany, long a developer of onshore wind power, is now adding offshore wind to
its growing renewables portfolio. This 48.3-MW plant is the first commercial installment in what could be a 25-GW offshore resource within 20 years.
42 Kimberlina Solar Thermal Energy Plant, Bakersfield, California

At 5 MW, this solar plant is small, but it is the first to use direct steam compact linear
Fresnel reflector technology, which enables it to deliver power even during transient
cloud cover. That makes plants using this technology more predictable renewable
generators for grid operators.
46 Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center, Indiantown, Martin County,

Florida
Another first: This plant is the first in the world to combine a solar thermal plant with
a combined cycle natural gas plant. The shared infrastructure resulted in roughly
20% savings over a solo solar thermal plant.

SPEAKING OF POWER
Irrational Exuberance
ermanys government has decided to

shutter all 17 of its nuclear plants
(23 reactors); eight plants are now
closed for business, six more will be closed
by 2021, and the final three will close by
2022. What is lacking is an honest discussion of the rising cost Germans will pay
for electricity for what The Economist describes as the greatest change of political
course since unification.
If Germany wants to close its nuclear
plants, so be it. However, it seems to me
that by now the German government would
have provided its citizens an estimate of
future electricity costs that will occur as a
result of that decision. I have not found any
German government estimates, so Im going
to make an estimate. Willem Post, whose
articles appear on theenergycollective.com,
inspired me with his study on the cost of
German carbon reductions.
Count the Cost
German Chancellor Angela Merkels U-turn

on nuclear energy was completed in midMarch with her announcement that all
German nuclear plants will close. Merkel
also proudly stated that the lost electricity will be compensated for by a mix of onand offshore wind and solar, while staying
below Germanys CO2 reduction goals. Her
plan includes putting a lid on rising electricity demand (603 TWh in 2010) for the
next decade.
According to a study by the Breakthrough Institute, the shutdown of Germanys nuclear reactors, meeting CO2
emission reduction commitments, and flat
demand will require the 2010 generation
mix to move from 60% fossil, 23% nuclear,
and 16.8% renewable (101.7 TWh) to 43%
fossil and 57% renewable (343.7 TWh) in
2020. Posts study, with which I agree,
suggests that Germany will also need to
build 5 GW of coal (replacing older plants)
and 5 GW of fast-ramping, gas-fired combined cycle for grid regulation. With the
scenario defined, the costs can now be
estimated.
Pre-Nuclear Shutdown Cost of Electricity. In 2010, German investment in renewables was about $41.2 billion. About
6
$36 billion of that went to building 7.4

GW of solar ($4,878/kW) at a real cost of
about $0.76/kWh (thanks to the generous
feed-in tariffs), which is then automatically rolled into electric rates. In 2010,
the adder to German electric rates for renewables was 8.8% of the average $0.33/
kWh cost of service.
Transitional Costs. I assume that the
decommissioning costs for each nuclear
per year and feed-in tariffs will drop 15%

in 2012, as planned. Extrapolating, I estimate the cumulative impact on electricity
bills in 2020 as $0.07/kWh in 2020.
Sticker Shock
The sum of these costs produces an estimate of $0.533/kWh for electricity in

2020. If demand grows, so will the future
cost of electricity. Stated another way:
Germanys average cost of electricity

will be more than six times that of the
U.S. in 2020.
plant are $1 billion, a total of $23 billion.
Also, I assume that the projected 53 GW
of offshore wind is built at todays prices,
or about $200 billion. Another 0.7 GW of
onshore wind will have a sticker price of
about $1.4 billion, and the new solar systems, projected at 65 GW, will pencil out
to $290 billion, using the 2010 reported
cost of equipment installed. The installed
capacity of each is estimated from the required generation (TWh) estimate using
reasonable capacity factors.
The cost of reorganizing the grid from
central nuclear hubs to one with more interconnectivity with neighboring countries
and capable of bringing offshore wind from
the North Sea to the industrial south will
be expensive. I added a very conservative
$100 billion to complete that work. Building 50 GW of new gas-fired assets to chase
wind and balance solar ($60 billion at
$1,200/kW) and 5 GW of new, replacement
coal capacity ($125 billion at $2,500/kW)
brings the total capital cost investment to
$799 billion, or $0.133/kWh, using a levelized annual capital cost of 10%.
Cost of Electricity in 2020. Extrapolating the 2010 feed-in tariff costs to match
projected wind generation will add $200
billion to German electricity bills over nine
years. In the same way, solar systems will
add another $200 billion to bills through
2020. For this discussion, assume the
feed-in tariff cost is $45 billion average
www.powermag.com
Germanys electricity rates will increase

about 6% per year for the next nine years.
With the country emerging from an economic slowdown, it is reasonable to believe that demand will grow, at least in
the short term, so I believe my overall
estimate is conservative.
In comparison, the U.S. Energy Information Administrations 2011 Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (Table 15) notes that
U.S. average end-use prices were $0.098/
kWh (2009) and are projected to decrease
to $0.089/kWh in 2025. The decrease occurs because growth in demand remains a
modest 1% per year and increased use of
moderately priced natural gas replaces fuels that are more expensive. Germanys average cost of electricity will be more than
six times that of the U.S. in 2020.
In a May 30 press briefing, Merkel
stressed the importance of lifestyle changes to consume less energy in order to flatten demand in the coming years. What
she failed to tell the German people was
the steep price they will pay to become a
nuclear energy-free nation.
There is uncertainty in my estimates,
but the trajectory of German electricity
prices is beyond doubt. As Merkel desires,
the high price of electricity will certainly
flatten German demand for electricity, and
it will suffocate their economy as well.

Gas Turbine Makers Gear to Flexibility

Needs with New Models
achieves more than 60% gross efficiency. The plant also features
a spinning reserve for delivering more than an additional 450
MW in 10 minutes in low-load to baseload settings. The full upgrade package has been implemented in the grid-connected GT26
Test Power Plant in Birr, Switzerland (Figure 1). Alstom plans to
manufacture key plant components of the upgraded gas turbine
at its factory in Chattanooga, Tenn.
An Upgraded GT24
Alstoms upgraded product launches came on the heels of its
upgraded GT26 gas turbine and corresponding KA26 combined
cycle power plant for the 50 Hz electricity markets in June. The
French company introduced the original GT24 gas turbine 15
years ago, and even in the early days it was recognized for exceptional operational flexibility, high part-load efficiency, and
fast start-up capabilities, Alstom says in a technical paper.
From the very beginning this gas turbine technology incorporated features such as multiple variable compressor guide vanes
and sequential combustion, which set a new industry standard
regarding operational flexibility.
The upgraded turbines were designed around a heightened
need for high operational flexibility, a trend that is expected to
continue. While demand will continue to vary greatly, the growing portion of renewable sources of electricity production are
expected to require combined cycle plants to be more and more
used to levelize the overall production of electricity in many
power markets, the technical paper says.
Just five years ago, combined-cycle power plant specification
requirements focused on the highest baseload efficiency based
on about 8,000 operating hours per year and the lowest specific
sales price. Todays combined cycle power plant must be based
on the highest overall weighted efficiency based on expected operating hours and load regime, and the lowest cost of electricity
based on both baseload and part-load profiles.
The next-generation GT24 is capable of delivering 230 MW at
40% efficiency (with a heat rate of 8,571 Btu/kWh), the company claims. The KA24 combined cycle plant can achieve 700
MW output in a 2 x 1 configuration, and when fully optimized, it
A New Generation F-Class Turbine

Later in September, MHI announced its own newly upgraded and
more flexible gas turbine design. The F-class M701F5 will operate
at a turbine inlet temperature of 1,500Ca level only reached by
G-class or higher turbines, MHI said.
The M701F5 gas turbine achieves a rated simple cycle power
output of near 350 MW (ISO basis) and 520 MW in combined cycle
power generation. It is designed around the preceding M701F4
and leverages experience with MHIs F-class fleet, which has 182
units in operation around the globe, with more than 7 million
actual operating hours.
The compressor section retains the M701F4s airflow, but midand rear-stage profiles have been modified from NACA1 to CDA2.
MHI also said that the combustion system is based on the verified GAC engine, and the turbine section incorporates turbine
technologies developed for the J Class, including advanced cooling technology and advanced thermal barrier coatings.
Competition among gas turbine makers heated up this September as Alstom unveiled its upgraded GT24 gas turbine and
corresponding 60 Hz KA24 combined cycle power plant, while
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) introduced the M701F5 gas
turbinea 50 Hz F-class gas turbine upgrade.

Small But Flexible Turbine

Also in September, GE launched its FlexAero LM6000-PH (Figure
2), a highly efficient 50-MW gas turbine that couples flexibility and efficiency, reaches full power in just five minutes, and
uses no water. GEwhich introduced the 510-MW FlexEfficiency
50 Combined Cycle Power Plant in May (see GE Develops FlexEfficiency 50 for Increased Operational Flexibility, p. 90) and
claims it has already received more than $1 billion in orders for
its aeroderivative and heavy-duty gas turbines this yearalso
said the FlexAero was launched to meet fast-changing power
generation needs.
The companys customer base has rapidly changed and expanded to include industrial businesses and remote communities, Darryl Wilson, president and CEO of GEs aeroderivative
gas turbine business said. We developed the FlexAero to give
those customers advanced technology, leading in flexibility
and efficiency, which can be shipped and installed faster than

GE additionally claims that the turbine, operating in a combined
cycle, can reach an efficiency above 80% through cogeneration.
A key feature of the turbine is that it uses GEs innovative
DLE2.0 technology, which reduces NOx emissions to just 15 ppm
without the need for water. The technology allows customers to
save more than 26 million gallons of water per turbine, per year,
which is typically used to dilute CO and NOx emissions in a gas

Ditching the only project remaining in its 1 billion ($1.60 billion) carbon capture and storage (CCS) competition, the UK government declined to back the much-watched CCS project at the
Longannet power station in Fife, Scotland, in October. The decision balances the UKs low-carbon ambition with the need to ensure that taxpayer money is invested in the most effective way,

THE BIG PICTURE: Big Biomass

The worlds biomass power facilities, not counting those in the pulp and paper industry, average just 18 MWe to 20 MWe. In the U.S.,
passage of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ignited development of many existing biomass plants. Greenhouse gas
rules and renewable policies around the world have kindled a new generation of much larger biomass facilities. New announcements
routinely are for plants 50 MW or larger, presumably to leverage economies of scale.
However, the biomass sector is immature and faces numerous potential threats, especially supply chain weaknesses (particularly where woody biomass is the feedstock) and high-energy, high-cost, high-impact fuel transportation concerns.
Here are some of the worlds biggest existing and proposed biomass projects.

near Dunipace, and Shell had been working on providing offshore

transport and storage.
ScottishPower had in May 2009 switched on the UKs first reported 1-MW prototype of a full-scale carbon capture plant at its
40-year-old Longannet station. The prototype employs Norwegian
firm Aker Clean Carbons post-combustion amine solvent process.
The utility said in a statement that the consortium had spent
more than 20 million ($32 million) over four years and completed the front end engineering design study as part of the
competition. As a result, they had submitted the most detailed
and comprehensive design of a commercial-scale end-to-end CCS
project ever conducted in the UK or Europe, the results of which
could allow the government to take valuable research to other
phases of the competition.
The Longannet CCS demonstration remained the only project
contending for 1 billion after E.ON last year shelved plans to
build its controversial Kingsnorth coal-fired plant in Kent. UK
media have since reported, however, that consortium members of
the Longannet project had been concerned about its commercial
viability without more public backing, saying that at least 1.5
billion from the state was required.
The project had yielded some significant advances in technologies associated with CCS, developing it from a concept in a laboratory to a definitive blueprint that could be implemented, said
ScottishPower Generation Director Hugh Finlay. As a result of the
study we now understand how the CCS process works from power
station to storage site. This gives us great insight into the physical
infrastructure that we need to support it, the regulatory framework
it fits within and the organisational model of a CCS business.

The projectwhich has been compared

to the massive Three Gorges Project in
Chinais part of a seven-dam cascade
that represents a $20 billion investment
by China. It was being jointly developed
by the state Myanmar Ministry of Electric Power, privately owned Asia World
Company of Burma, and the China Power
Investment Corp. More than 90% of the
electricity generated by the station,
scheduled for completion in 2019, was expected to be exported to China.
But skepticism about the quality and independence of a submitted environmental
impact assessment and concerns regarding
the resettlement process had made plans to
build the project highly controversial. According to nonprofit group International
Rivers, the project in an earthquake-prone
area would have created a reservoir the size
of Singapore, displaced 12,000 people, and
irreversibly affected Burmas central river
system and rice-growing area. Reports also
allege that plans to build the dam had exacerbated a long-standing conflict between
ethnic Kachin people and the new Burmese
civilian-led military government.
In an interview with the China Daily
following Burmas rejection of the project,
President of China Power Investment Corp.
Lu Qizhou said the company had not been
alerted about a possible suspension of the
project. He said China had diligently fulfilled [its] duties and obligations, hiring
top-notch hydropower design firms and
consultancies to develop the project. Interest in developing the project stemmed
from Burmas immense hydropower resource of more than 100 GW. Only 2.45%
of that potential has been developed or
is in development. In particular, as the
upstream-Ayeyawady hydropower project
is located near the China-Myanmar border,
developing hydropower resources here not
only can meet Myanmars [Burmas] power
demand for industrialization, but also can
provide clean energy for China, he said.
Burma stood to gain economic benefits
of up to $54 billion through taxation, free
power, and share dividendsfar more
than China Power Investments return on
investment during the 100-year life of the
project, he also asserted. The projects suspension meant that the company would
lose a huge sum of money that had been
invested, a loss would go far beyond direct investment and financial expenses.
There would also be tremendous amount
of default claims from contractors, serious
inability of electricity generation of the Construction Power Plant, huge increase of basic
investment spread to other cascade power
stations, and so on, he said.

Airtight Cover Completed

for Daiichi 1
Tokyo Electric Power Co.s (TEPCOs) Fukushima Daiichi 1 reactora unit that
suffered a core melt and hydrogen gas explosion after the March 11 earthquake in
Japan and subsequent tsunami devastated
the six-reactor facility (Figure 5)was
fully encased in an airtight cover in October (Figure 6). The temporary measure
will prevent diffusion of radioactive materialsincluding those discharged from
water vapor from spent fuel pools, rubble,

and dustand prevent rain from entering
the reactor building, TEPCO said.
The cover is essentially made up of a steel
frame structure covered by vinyl chloride resincoated roof panels and wall panels that
are made of polyester fiber fabric. It measures 54 meters (177 feet) high, 47 meters
(154 feet) wide, and 42 meters (132 feet)
deep and has a ventilation system that filters
out radioactive substances. TEPCO says the
cover, similar designs of which will eventu-
ally be built around Units 3 and 4, is engineered to keep the reactor safe against high
winds and tremors, though it notes it could
be damaged by a huge typhoon.
TEPCO has been building the casing for the
damaged reactor building since June. Major
components were constructed at Onagawa
and shipped to the Daiichi site by sea for
assembly around the reactor building. During
pilot tests, the ventilation system removed
more than 90% of radioactive cesium from
the reactor, TEPCO said. The company is con-

hours after the deadly March 11 earthquake,
setting off a hydrogen explosion that devastated its containment building. Similar explosions
occurred at Units 2, 3, and 4. Courtesy: TEPCO

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) achieved a

TEPCO said, adding that the cover marks a
milestone in its restoration roadmap. It will
now embark on a longer-term measure, likely
entombing the reactor in concrete.

Daiichi 3 and Daiichi 4 when debris removal
is completed after next summer.
Covering the reactor building marks a major milestone for TEPCO, which will now begin the detailed design of a more permanent
measure to contain radioactive materials.
Plans involve building a concrete sarcophagus for the reactorpossibly similar to the
one built to protect Chernobyls Unit 4. Analysts point out, however, that the Chernobyl
sarcophagus is aging and crumbling, and that
measures are under way to replace it with a
$1.4 billion steel containment structure.
Meanwhile, according to the beleaguered plant owner, progress is being made
to achieve cold shutdown of Daiichi Units
1, 2, and 3 by the end of the year, in line
with a schedule set in an April-issued restoration roadmap. The company is removing
radioactive materials from Unit 2s containment vessel, a reactor that suffered minor
damage to its containment building, but
whose core saw the most damage. Debris is
also being removed at Units 3 and 4.
Japans Atomic Energy Commission in
late October said it would begin retrieving melted nuclear fuel rods from Units 1,
2, and 3 within 10 years. The commission
also plans to move spent fuel rods from
pools at Units 1 and 4 to another pool in
the plant within three years.
TEPCO continues imploring Japans
government for 900 billion yen ($11.85
billion) in financial assistance to aid
compensation to individuals and entities
affected by the nuclear disaster. The government is already required by the Nuclear
Damage Compensation Law to pay a maximum of 120 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in
compensation. The governments decision
is expected in early November.
Nearly nine months after the devastating earthquake, 44 of Japans 55 existing
nuclear reactors, continue to be in shutdown for regulatory scrutiny. Eighteen
reactors are currently undergoing government-mandated stress tests, and of the 10
reactors still running, at least four are expected to be shut down for routine inspections by the years end. The remaining six
will go offline by early next yearwhich
could leave Japan with the possibility of
having no active nuclear plants next year.
Does Cow Power Pay Off?
Livestock animals in the U.S. produce more

than one billion tons of manure annually
(Figure 7). Its a problem being surveyed critically by climate change advocates, because,
according to standards developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
18
farm waste emits two potent greenhouse

gases: methane, which has 21 times the
global warming potential of carbon dioxide,
and nitrous oxide, which has 310 times the
warming potential of carbon dioxide over a
100-year timespan. Since a 2008 University
of Texas-Austin study showed that converting farm animal droppings into renewable
power could generate enough power to meet
up to 3% of North Americas consumption,
interest in cow power has been piling up.
According to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, as of September, 169
on-farm anaerobic digester systems were
operating at livestock farms in the U.S. Of
these, 151 systems (mostly at dairies), including 11 in Vermont, generated a total
of 454,000 MWh of electricity annually. An
average of 15 new digesters are expected
to come online annually.
But a new study published in the Journal of Dairy Science suggests that the economics of converting cow dung into power
on farms arent bullish. While researchers
at the University of Vermont and Central Vermont Public Service Corp. (CVPS)
confirm that it is technically feasible to
generate electricity from cow manure, financial returns depend strongly on several
factors, among them: the base electricity
price, the premium paid for converted energy, financial supports from government
and other agencies, and the ability to sell
by-products of the methane generation.
The study analyzed six dairy farms that
were participating in CVPSs Cow Power
Program over a seven-year period. (See
Central Vermont Public Service, Cow Power Program in our December 2007 issue.)
The program essentially helps farms plan
and install anaerobic digesters and generators to generate electricity from manure,
and markets the resulting power to its customers. As part of the program, dairy farms
apply for grants from the corporation, the
government, and other organizations, as
well as use their own funds or bank loans,
to install the necessary equipment.
More than 4,600 of CVPSs 160,000 customers voluntarily agreed to pay a premium
of $0.04/kWh over the regular retail price to
buy 25%, 50%, or 100% of power generated
from cow manure, paying $470,000 in premiums per year. The investor-owned utility
reported that the six dairy farms generated
about 12 million kWh annually, making it a
successful and locally sourced renewable
energy project with many economic and environmental benefits, said the studys lead
author Dr. Qingbin Wang, a professor in the
Department of Community Development and
Applied Economics, University of Vermont.
The study found that a dairy farm with
www.powermag.com
an average milking herd size of 1,212 cows

amassed 69 metric tons of manure that were
fed to an anaerobic digester daily, producing
5,295 kWh. The digester produced revenues
from electricity of about $958 per day (at
$0.181/kWh) as well as fuel savings from
capturing combustion heat for hot water and
space heating. But one critically limiting factor the study found was that farms with 600
to 1,500 milking cows needed a huge average initial investment of about $2 million to
plan the project, obtain permits, and build
the digestermaking grants and subsidies
from the government indispensable.
The price farmers received for their electricity and revenue from by-products of the
system were also important. Scenario analysis presented in the case study also suggests that relatively small changes in the
premium price can have a significant impact
on the cash flow of an average operation.
Waste heat from biogas combustion, which
can be captured and used on the farm, and
by-products from the digester in the form
of animal bedding and compost, contributed
significantly to the farms cash flowup to
26% of the total revenues in 2008.
Dr. Wang noted that the study was based
on data from larger dairy farms and that
most American dairy farms are smaller. More
information is needed to determine whether
cow power is technically and economically
feasible for small farms, he said. He concluded, however, that For any community
interested in a locally sourced renewable
energy project like the CVPS Cow Power
7. Like flies to manure. More farmers

and communities are interested in generating
renewable power from livestock manure, but
a new study shows that the financial returns
from generating electricity from cow dung may
be highly dependent on several factors, among
them: the base electricity price, the premium
paid for converted energy, financial supports
from government and other agencies, and the
ability to sell by-products of the methane generation. Courtesy: University of Vermont

For a strong economy,

Westinghouse is focused on safe,
clean nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy, by providing reliable and affordable electricity, helps keep

business competitive and powers future worldwide job growth. Today,
nuclear energy provides 15 percent of total global electricity generation
and accounts for more than 45 percent of the carbon-free electricity in
the world. Westinghouse, and its more than 15,000 global employees, is
dedicated to safe performance.
Thats why the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear plant is designed to be more
than 200 times safer than U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements
and be able to withstand the most extreme events. It is designed to shut down
automatically, without the need for backup power, and will cool itself for
72 hours before any human intervention is necessary. This is made possible
through the use of gravity, natural circulation, condensation and convection.
As the most advanced design available in the global marketplace, four AP1000
units are under construction in China. Four units are also under construction
in the United States, with an additional 14 units announced as the technology
of choice. Building additional AP1000 units will provide future generations
with safe, clean and reliable electricity.

Tools at Height
A structure or mechanical system that
requires fasteners also demands tools to
maintain it properly. In power sectors such
as wind, fossil fuel, and nuclear, some work
areas may be several hundred feet in the air.
While working at those extreme heights, or
even just 10 feet off the ground, its simply
unacceptable to drop anything. Thats why
the concept of tools at height is being
embraced as a way to improve safety and
efficiency on the worksite.
Tools at height tools come with integrated safety components that are secured
or tethered to prevent a falling hazard. A
tool security and drop-prevention system
equals superior site safety. In the wind
energy industry, its easy to see how this
is manifest when a worker drops a tool or
the component of a tool. In the confined
cylindrical space of a nacelle or tower, a
ratchet dropped by a worker at height can
do more than merely startle a worker below. It can cause severe injury or death.
The reality is that a mere pound of steel
ricocheting off equipment or flooring 300
feet below can create something akin to
shrapnel. Dropping something that creates debris is as dangerous as actually
hitting someone with an object directly
from above.
And what of the time wasted when a
worker forgets a tool and is forced to make
the walk of deathan unplanned, timesucking trip down a ladder or slow-moving
elevator to pick up a wrench or screwdriver
no one thought to bring on the first trip?
An extra 15-minute trip here and there
leads to a decline in productivity.
Managing Tools at Height

One of the key parts of the tools at height
concept is a lanyard or tether (Figure 1).
Tools built specifically to accommodate the
tether allow the tool design to maintain its
strength and structural integrity. The tether can be attached to a wrist or tool belt,
depending on tool weight and the application, such as workers using tools in the
wind energy industry (Figure 2).
Other components include coiled, weldless fittings that are built as an integral
part of a wrench, rather than a modification. The design, which utilizes an anchor
attachment floating across the length
of the tool, provides ease of use, with no
modifications that could compromise its
strength. Lock-on retention safety pins
essentially bind a socket to a ratchet
wrench, a significant improvement over
the conventional ball retention method.
Custom tool kits based on specific applications are another integral part of the
tools at height program. The goal is to help
companies and technicians reduce down
time and work more efficiently by creating
a kit with tools for jobs such as preventive maintenance. Many power plants have
equipment, machinery, and systems that
require regular, ongoing preventive maintenance as part of their operation. A custom
kit can be developed to house all of the
necessary tools required to perform preventive maintenance on specific components.
All the technician has to do is check out the
kit from the tool crib, and all the necessary
tools to complete the job are available.
Along with reducing tool-toting time,
a dedicated kit provides a secure transpor-
tation method and acts an extension of a

comprehensive asset-management program.
Shockproof or waterproof cases are available
with etched foam tool control packing. With
custom packing, every tool has its place, so
the technician knows immediately if a tool
was inadvertently left in a critical component, reducing the likelihood of foreign material being left behind on the job.
Origins of the Tethered Tool Approach
Foreign material exclusion (FME), a term
originated by the nuclear power industry, is
a set of procedures designed to minimize
the contamination of a system by foreign
materials. For example, if a tool falls into
a nuclear facilitys cooling tank, it must be
removed. Thats not an easy thing to do in
a radioactive environment, but the task can
be just as difficult in other segments of
the power generation industry and in other
critical industries. What would a misplaced
socket do in a reactor? And what are the
cost considerations in shutting down that
reactor, not to mention the maintenance
necessary to bring it back online?

bine, this worker uses a tool that is tethered.

Especially in the wind energy industry, a tool
security and drop-prevention system equals
superior site safety. In the confined cylindrical space of a nacelle or tower, a tool dropped

injury or death to another worker. Courtesy:

Energy is our future, dont waste it! - Copyright: AREVA ; Photo: AVE Multimedia - September 2011
The idea for the tethered tool was born

of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space
Administrations requirements in the early
1980s, primarily for work done on satellites. Satellites are extremely delicate, and
a lot of last-minute wrench turning goes
on at launch time. A socket dropped on a
solar panel can create millions of dollars
in damage. In the case of a satellite, it
means sending the entire assembly back
to the manufacturer for a repair that could
have been prevented. It doesnt have to
happen more than once before people are
looking for solutions.
Making Safety Simple
The lanyard is the low-technology workhorse component of any tools at height
program. A good system includes a drop
indicator that opens up if the lanyard becomes overstressed. Usually, the indicator is excess strap material thats folded
over on the lanyard and held in place by
a threaded stitch. It tells the technician
that the application exceeds the capacity
of the lanyard and is therefore pushing the
tether beyond its capabilities.
The socket presents a challenge because it is relatively small and cannot be
tethered. The solution here is to put a pin

in the socket so that its not simply held
in place but is definitively attached to the
ratchet. Then the lanyard is attached to
the ratchet and the ratchet is attached to
the workers wrist or tool belt.
Increasing Workplace Safety and
Productivity
The power generation industries are using tools at height to operate more safely
and efficiently. The lanyard, the socket
pin, and tools tethered to a tool belt
are the components of a comprehensive
tool security program that enhances
workplace safety. Amateur modification
of existing tools is not an option in an
environment where mistakes can cause
system failure or result in worker injury.
Specialized tools with a dedicated tethering system are created specifically for
use in close quarters or at height and to
support foreign material exclusion. The
goals are superior site and worker safety
and increased productivity.

Microns Matter: Proper

Design of Fogging Nozzles
Inlet fogging systems for combustion turbines achieve their effect at the molecular
level: The cooling effect occurs by converting thousands of gallons of water into
single evaporated molecules suspended in
the air. The right fog pattern comes down
to a matter of selecting the best nozzle
design and proper placement in the inlet
air stream.
Two Types of Nozzles
Two types of nozzles are commonly used for
inlet fogging: impaction-pin nozzles and
swirl-jet nozzles (Figure 3). Both designs
operate on the principle of converting
high water pressure into increased velocity as water passes through a tiny nozzle
orifice. As water exits the nozzle orifice,
it forms a conical sheet of water that gets
ever thinner the farther it moves from the
orifice. Surface tension causes the cone
to first break down into fingers of water,
and eventually, air instability breaks these
fingers down into minute droplets for fast
and efficient evaporation.
Although they operate on the same
principles, the designs differ in how they

24
www.powermag.com
POWER December 2011
create that cone of water, and this affects

the size of droplets produced. Impactionpin nozzles consist of a smooth, short,
straight-through orifice with a specially
engineered impaction pin in front of the
orifice. A fine jet of water is emitted,
which immediately strikes the pin, causing the water to form a cone of micro-fine
particles. Swirl-jet nozzles, on the other
hand, rely on the nozzles internal geometry to create the cone. An internal swirl
chamber forces the water to exit the nozzle tangentially to the axis of the orifice,
forming a hollow cone.
Both nozzle designs produce droplets
in the sub-50 micron range, and either
one will work for particular, noncritical
applications. For example, when fogging
nozzles are placed near the ceiling to cool
or humidify a factory, greenhouse, warehouse, or restaurant, there is plenty of
time for even the larger droplets to fully
evaporate before falling to the floor. However, in higher precision applications, such
as inside HVAC ducting or for turbine inlet
cooling, droplet size is critical.
The Right Measurement

In discussing droplet size, it is vital to
use the correct system of measurement. In
evaluating a fogging system, droplets below a certain threshold are of no concern.
Those that fall above the threshold, even
if they are only a few, are what one needs
to consider. With fogging systems, the
droplets that fully evaporate as expected
are not an issue, but the few larger ones
that collect on duct walls and floors or
enter the inlet of a compressor can potentially cause costly erosion and corrosion.
In evaluating fogging nozzles, therefore, measuring average droplet size is
useless. If, for example, a volume of water is broken down into 1,000 10-micron
droplets and a single 1,000-micron droplet, the average diameter of the droplets
is 10.99 micronstoo small to cause concern. However, because volume is the cube
of the radius, that single large droplet has
1,000 times the mass of all of the smaller
droplets combined. Even though the average droplet size is 10.99 microns, 99.9%
of the water volume is being converted

impaction-pin nozzle is evident. The straight
edge of the swirl-jet nozzle is indicative of the
high momentum of the larger droplets, implying a much larger droplet size at the edges.

into 1,000-micron droplets. Rather than

using averages, then, two other methods
of measuring droplet size are useful in
evaluating fogging nozzles: Sauter Mean
Diameter (SMD or D32) and Dv90 (also
known as Dv09).
The SMD is calculated by taking the sum
of the cube of all diameters and dividing
it by the sum of the square of all diameters. The SMD shows the average surfaceto-volume ratio of the droplets, which is
important because droplet evaporation
only occurs at the surface. To maximize
evaporation, the SMD should be as low as
possible.
The other figure, Dv90, means that 90%
of the volume of the liquid being sprayed
consists of droplets at or below the Dv90
figure. A Dv90 of 20 microns would mean
that 90% of the volume consists of droplets no larger than 20 microns. By selecting
nozzles based on the right combination of
SMD and Dv90 numbers, you can ensure
that the water will evaporate at the most
efficient rate and that very few large drops
will fall out of the air stream and pool on
duct surfaces or possibly find their way
into the compressor.
With both swirl-jet and the impactionpin designs, droplet size decreases as water pressure increases, up to a maximum of
137 barg (2,000 psig), producing plumes
(Figure 4). The impaction-pin nozzles
produced droplet sizes less than half the
size of those produced by the swirl-jet
nozzles, indicating that fog produced by
impaction-pin nozzles will evaporate more
completely and will contain fewer large
droplets that can damage equipment.
Even Evaporation
Within the class of impaction-pin nozzles,
there is still the issue of determining the
type and size of nozzle to use. All impaction-pin nozzles are not the same. An
ideal nozzle will produce an even plume so
that the water will fully evaporate, producing the maximum amount of cooling
with minimal excess water.
The first factor is the size of the orifice.
Over the past 40 years, Mee Industries has
evaluated a number of different orifice
sizes and has found that a 152-micron (6
mil) opening works best for turbine cooling applications (Figure 5).
The nozzle designs from different manufacturers also vary (Figure 6).
Nozzles must be made of the right material; 316 stainless steel is recommended.
The size and shape of the orifice and pin
must stay at initial design parameters to
continue making the ideal fog. Poor-quality metal will erode or corrode over time,
POWER December 2011
Proper Placement
Once the right nozzles are selected, there
is still the matter of nozzle placement
to produce even evaporation of the water across the entire air stream. This is
particularly important for turbine inlet
cooling applications. Research has shown
that there is little mixing of the inlet air.
Nozzles that are not placed correctly can
result in columns of air entering the turbine at different temperatures, humidity
levels, and relative mass.
One big lesson learned by Mee Industries, with more than 800 installations of
fog in gas turbines, is that the nozzles
cant just be spaced evenly in the inlet duct. Because the airflow velocity is
not constant across the ducts cross section, measurements should be taken to
determine the actual speed at different
locations. Computational fluid dynamic
modeling can be employed to determine
the best design to provide even cooling
at different loads, ambient temperatures,
and relative humidities.
A properly designed fogging array using the right type of nozzles produces
the maximum amount of cooling, power
boost, improvement in heat rate, and lowering of emissions. Just as important, it
will achieve this without creating conditions that lead to unplanned down time or
increases in maintenance expenses.

mal conductivity. In metals susceptible to

quench hardening, such as high-carbon
and alloy steels, the rapid movement of
heat away from the weld area can result in
the formation of hard, brittle regions.
The Importance of Preheating
One approach to reducing those thermal
stresses is through controlled preheating of the pipe. Preheating is frequently
required when welding metal parts used
in the power industry. A successful weld
unites the welding filler metal and the
base metal into one solid part. A good
weld is at least as strong as the base materials that are being joined.
With many materials, bringing the
base metal up to heat before welding
improves the chances of achieving a successful weld by reducing the danger of
cracking and other flaws as well as achieving a suitable metallurgical structure and
mechanical properties. As a result, rework
is minimized and the integrity of the finished piece is enhanced.
Preheat temperatures are based on the
type and composition of the metal being
joined. The amount of preheating must be
properly controlled in order to be effective.
Preheating can help to minimize thermal

gradients in the weld area, thereby reducing the resulting thermal stresses.
Preheating also reduces the rate of heat
flow away from the weld, allowing more
time for redistribution of thermal stresses,
thereby reducing the tendency for cracking. In some steels it helps to minimize
the formation of hard, brittle areas in the
weld and heat-affected zones, improving
ductility and crack resistance.
The presence of hydrogen greatly increases the possibility of cracking in the
weld metal or heat-affected zone when
welding carbon and alloy steels. Root
cracks, toe cracks, under-bead cracks, and
transverse cracks are all common, given
sufficient thermal stress and the presence
of hydrogen. In welding these materials, it
is important to keep hydrogen away from
the weld area. Hydrogen can come from
electrode coatings, fluxes, base-metal
contamination, and even hydrogen in the
atmosphere.
ASME B31.1 lists preheating requirements for power piping. In general, as
noted above, steels with higher carbon
and alloy content, and greater thickness,
need preheating. In some cases, the re-
quired temperature is only 50F minimum

(a consideration for outdoor applications,
but usually not important indoors). In
many cases, however, preheat temperatures ranging from 175F to 400F are suggested.
Preheating is not necessary for 300 series stainless steels and nonferrous metals
(such as nickel and nickel alloys such as
monel, inconel, aluminum, or copper alloys). However, warming those metals as
high as 200F may be desirable to remove
moisture condensation and contamination. Preheating may be desirable for thick
sections of high conductivity metals such
as aluminum and copper.
Preheating can be very helpful in preventing the presence of moisture on the
base metal surfaces and allowing hydrogen
to escape from the weld area. Sometimes
a post-weld bake (450F to 600F) is conducted to ensure that absorbed hydrogen
is removed from the weld joint.
The need for preheating increases with
the presence of these 10 factors:

heating methods, it is important to not
overheat the assembly.
It is also important to allow sufficient
time to reach the desired uniform temperature throughout the thickness of the weld
joint and surrounding metal. When using
gas torches, it is important to prevent deposits of incomplete combustion products
on joint surfaces or adjacent areas.

Accurate Temperature Measurements

The preferred method for determining that
a joint has reached the desired preheat
temperature is a simple one: a temperature
indicator made of materials with melting
points calibrated to a guaranteed accuracy
of 1%, such as Tempilstik (Figure 7).
The welder strokes a mark on the metal
with a Tempilstik crayon as the metal is
heated. The temperature indicators are
made of materials with calibrated melting
points. When the temperature rating of
the selected indicator is reached, the dry
opaque mark undergoes a phase change
to a distinct melted appearance. Phasechange temperature indicators are preferred because they are accurate, simple
to use, inexpensive, and make good thermal equilibrium contact with the surface
of the material.
With Tempilstik temperature-indicating
markers, no equipment set-up time, calibration, or recalibration is required to
measure pipe preheat temperature, and no
operator training or experience is necessary. The indicators are accurate within 1%
of their stated temperature ratings measured in accordance with MTL-STD-45662.
The materials used are calibrated on apparatus traceable to the National Institute
of Standards & Technology.

Will San Bruno Be a

Game-Changer?
By Vidhya Prabhakaran
nergy professionals and the general population are

both acutely aware of the explosion of a Pacific Gas &
Electric Co. (PG&E) natural gas pipeline in San Bruno,
Calif., that led to the death of eight people and the total
destruction of 38 homes in September 2010. The tragic accident garnered immediate national attention, thrusting the
natural gas industry into the spotlight. The California Public Utilities Commissions (CPUC) Independent Review Panel
neatly encapsulated the sentiment surrounding the event:
The fact that a large segment of pipe literally blew out of
the ground in an urban neighborhood and the residents were
generally unaware of the proximity of a high-pressure natural
gas transmission system to their homesraises significant
public safety concerns.
In the aftermath of the explosion, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the CPUC each launched an
independent investigation to gather facts and make recommendations for the improvement of the safe management of
PG&Es natural gas lines. Each investigation took nearly an
entire year to conduct, and the resulting reports were widely
expected to make recommendations and findings that would
have a nationwide impact on the conduct and future of the
entire natural gas industry.
In communications with the media, many regulators have
routinely identified San Bruno as a game-changer. In addition, CPUC Executive Director Paul Clanon has been quoted as
saying that the CPUC has not rested one day in improving
what we do since the San Bruno explosion. Regulators for
other public utility commissions have made similar commitments of renewed commitment to safety. Has San Bruno been
the game-changer promised? Have regulators improved
their oversight?
Testing Is Long Overdue

Hydrostatic pressure testing of a natural gas pipeline involves
shutting down a pipeline for approximately 8 hours, removing
any natural gas, and then filling the line with water at much
higher pressures than the pressure at which the natural gas pipeline will be operated. If this costly test does not highlight any
weaknesses in the pipeline, the pipeline is deemed safe and restored to service.
Mandatory hydrostatic pressure testing of all pipelines by itself
is a game-changer. In some cases, as with the San Bruno pipeline, pipelines have been installed without any prior hydrostatic
pressure testing and have never been subject to testing in the
field. Moreover, before San Bruno, exemptions at both the state
and federal level had allowed some older natural gas pipelines to
continue operations, despite never having been pressure-tested
in the field.
The NTSB identified the exemptions of existing pipelines
(historically granted by the CPUC and U.S. Department of
32
Transportation) from the regulatory requirement for pressure

testing, which likely would have detected the installation
defects as a major contributing factor to the San Bruno
explosion.
In the immediate aftermath of the San Bruno incident,
California regulators and those at the national level moved
swiftly to repeal these exemptions and thus require hydrostatic pressure testing for all pipelines. In addition, the CPUC
required all California natural gas utilities to submit a comprehensive pressure-testing implementation plan by August
2011, setting the stage for hydrostatic pressure testing to
become a game-changer.
Who Pays for Testing?

PG&Es implementation plan includes not only pipeline pressure
testing but also for pipeline replacement, inspections, a valve
automation program, and a pipeline records integration program.
PG&Es cost estimate for just Phase 1 of its overall implementation plan is approximately $2 billion. Without offering a value
judgment on the merits of PG&Es specific implementation plan,
the utilitys proposal shows that the necessary increase in safety
of the nations natural gas pipeline system will require a significant investment of ratepayer money.
The CPUCs response to PG&Es request for substantial rate
increases to enhance natural gas pipeline safety will provide
an initial barometer of whether regulators are prepared to
use San Bruno as a regulatory game-changer. Substantially
granting PG&Es request, or at least acknowledging that increasing safety will lead to increased rates, would demonstrate that the CPUC has learned the lessons offered by San
Bruno and is prepared to respond to any criticism from those
consumer groups and politicians whose natural instincts are
to oppose any rate increase.
Such positive action by the CPUC will likely spur other regulators around the country to authorize similarly targeted investment in infrastructure and processes designed to enhance safety,
despite the likely associated increase in rates. One can only hope
that we will then see the beginning of a long-overdue era of
significant investment in safety and infrastructure improvement
around the country.
All too often in utility rate applications, the opportunity to
reduce the amount of the requested increase by deferring maintenance has been the easy option for regulators. However, as
San Bruno sadly demonstrates, deferring maintenance and cutting costs by foregoing investment in safety and infrastructure
improvements is ultimately much costlier. The San Bruno tragedy demands that all market participantsutilities, regulatory
commissions, and consumer groupschange the game they each
play in regulatory proceedings when it comes to safety.

Copper Mountain Solar 1,

Boulder City, Nevada
Owner/operator: Sempra Generation
The current largest photovoltaic plant in the U.S., the 48-MW Copper Mountain
Solar 1, utilizes approximately 775,000 solar panels to generate emission-free
electricity for about 14,000 homes without the use of water. The facility was
constructed in less than a yearan unprecedented achievement for a project
of this size.

evada is a sparsely populated state

that contains large expanses of desert dotted with sagebrush and tumbleweeds. Because the southern Nevada
desert offers intense year-round sunshine,
there are few places in the world better
suited for solar energy development.
The ample solar resource in southern
Nevada was a main reason that Sempra
Generation chose to build the Copper
Mountain Solar 1 plant on a 380-acre tract
in Boulder City, which is about 20 miles
southeast of Las Vegas (Figure 1). Additional factors that made this location optimal for solar development were expansive
available land and close proximity to major transmission lines that provide access
to major markets, Scott Crider, director of
external affairs, Sempra Generation, told
POWER in October. (Boulder City sits
34
between the Hoover Dam Powerplant and

Las Vegas.)
When the facility entered service in December 2010, it was the largest photovoltaic
(PV) plant in the U.S. The 48-MW installation produces an estimated 100 GWh of
emission-free electricity on an annual basis.
The new plant is located adjacent to Sempra
Generations 10-MW El Dorado Solar installation (a 2009 POWER Top Plant). Power
generated from the project is sold to Pacific
Gas & Electric under a 20-year contract.
On March 18, Nevada Governor Brian
Sandoval, Boulder City Mayor Roger Tobler,
Sempra Generation President and CEO Jeffrey W. Martin, and other dignitaries gathered
to officially dedicate the new solar plant.
In his comments, Governor Sandoval
praised Sempra Generation for its commitment to Nevada and for creating hundreds of

local construction jobs during building of the

solar facility: This project exemplifies my
goal of making Nevada into the renewable
energy capital of the country. Projects of this
magnitude provide hundreds of jobs and invest millions of dollars in our state.
Copper Mountain Solar 1 was named Solar Project of the Year by Renewable Energy
Magazine.
Operations Overview
The landmark solar installation was built
in less than a year, which required an innovative approach to development in order
to achieve this scale and construction efficiency, said Crider.

The semiconductor stable cadmium telluride (CdTe) compound semiconductor material, applied in a very thin layer,
forms the active photovoltaic cells, which
convert sunlight into electricity.
Laminate material is used to bond the cover glass to the substrate and thereby seal
the PV device from the environment.

follows:

Length: 1,200 mm (47.24 inches)

Width: 600 mm
Weight: 12.0 kg (26.45 pounds)
Thickness: 6.8 mm
Crider pointed out that Copper Mountain Solar 1 is the first renewable power
plant to operate under a unique California
Independent System Operator (CAISO)
pseudo-tie pilot program. The pseudotie transmission arrangement allows an
out-of-state renewable resource generating
plant to deliver electricity as if the generator were located in, or directly connected
to, CAISO. He emphasized that the pilot
program is providing critical data to help
CAISO test and validate its systems and
36
procedures for the management of out-ofstate variable resources.

In support of CAISOs new interconnection initiatives for renewable power
generators, Copper Mountain Solar 1 was
also among the first solar power plants
to implement a customized plant control
system that allows active power management, Crider explained. This functionality
allows the plant operations team to quickly
respond to system requirementssuch as
limiting power outputfrom a consolidated control center, rather than manually
shutting down individual units distributed
throughout the facility.
Copper Mountain Solar 1 represents Sempra Generations commitment to developing world-class alternative energy projects
that generate a new source of clean power
and create jobs, said Sempras Martin.
But the success of Copper Mountain Solar 1 can be directly attributed to the vision
and support of Boulder City, Pacific Gas &
Electric, and many state and federal officials in Nevada. Their leadership is accelerating our countrys transition to a more
sustainable energy future.
In keeping with its goal of promoting solar
energy, Sempra Generation is now planning a
major expansion of its landmark solar installation in Boulder City. The new facility will
be called Copper Mountain Solar 2, and it
will further solidify Sempra Generation and
Boulder City as sustainable energy leaders,
Crider said.
Construction on the 1,100-acre site is expected to begin in early 2012. Power generated at the new 150-MW solar plant will be
sold to Pacific Gas & Electric under a 25year contract.
The first 92 MW of solar panels at Copper Mountain Solar 2 will be installed by
2013; the remaining 58 MW are expected to
be completed by 2015. The new facility will
deliver the following benefits:

Boosting the Nevada Economy

Sempra Generation received federal and state
tax incentives for the development of Copper Mountain Solar 1. These incentives play
a critical role in the ongoing development of
utility-scale solar projects in the U.S., according to Crider. However, this project is a net
revenue generator for taxpayers. Crider noted
that for every $1 in tax incentives received,
Copper Mountain Solar 1 will generate $2 in
new land lease and tax incentives for federal,
state, and local governments. Additionally,
the project created hundreds of new construction jobs and is helping move Nevadas clean
energy economy forward. Eight full-time
maintenance and operations employees currently operate the plant.
Over the life of the project, the facility will generate about $135 million in
new revenue for state, local, and federal
governments, Crider said. For example,

five positions to operate the facility.
Generate approximately $150 million in
new revenue for state and local governments over the life of the project.

In addition to Copper Mountain Solar

2, Sempra Generation is expanding its renewable energy portfolio throughout other
parts of the U.S. Southwest. It recently
broke ground on a massive new solar facility in Arizona called Mesquite Solar, which
could produce up to 700 MW of electricity at full build-out. The company also is
pursuing additional solar installations in
California. Sempra Generation has a solar
development pipeline that could ultimately
exceed 1,300 MW.

rotor diameter of 93 meters. Siemens constructed the facility in an area covering
about 7 square kilometers in the Baltic Sea.
roviding a reliable power supply from

offshore wind turbines can be daunting because, typically, winds at sea are
much stronger than onshore winds. Consequently, the logistics of installing ocean wind
energy facilities and connecting them to the
grid are much more challenging than carrying out similar operations on land. Despite
such hurdles, Siemens recently completed
successful installation of EnBW Baltic 1,
an offshore wind farm located in the Baltic
Sea approximately 16 kilometers (km or 9.94
miles) north of the Darss-Zingst peninsula.
The project, owned by EnBW Energie
Baden Wrttemberg (EnBW), the third-largest energy company in Germany, was officially put into operation in May 2011. (A 60-MW
offshore pilot project went into operation in
late 2009. See our Feb. 2010 Global Monitor

output of approximately 185 GWh a year, the
project will supply more than 50,000 German
households with clean energy.
This is an important milestone in the
use of German offshore wind power. Onshore, Germany was a pioneer in wind
powerand now its important to rapidly
tap the huge offshore potential, said Ren
Umlauft, CEO of the Renewable Energy
Division at Siemens, in May. He projected
that by 2030, wind farms with total capacity
between 20,000 MW and 25,000 MW will
be operating off Germanys coasts and delivering electricity to German customers.
He added, Well soon be introducing
a new wind turbine with a capacity of six
megawatts. The new turbine will be gearless
and well-suited for offshore wind farms.
The German Energy Sector

Its not surprising that Germany is a world
leader in the use of wind power. In rewww.powermag.com
cent years, the country has aggressively

promoted the use of renewable energy
through its governmental policies. For example, on December 5, 2007, the German
government unveiled its Integrated Energy
and Climate Program, which aims to set a
global example in the fields of energy and
climate policy and is suited to the needs
and capabilities of a modern national
economy, according to the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The launch was timed to coincide with
the kick-off of the United Nations Climate
Change Conference in Bali, which was
held in December 2007.
The program is based on the conviction
that energy must be used with much greater
efficiency than is currently the case and that
much higher priority must be placed on the
use of low-carbon energy.
The adopted measures aim to prove
that climate protection is both affordable
and compatible with economic growth.

For this reason, the German government
is pursuing policies that deliver favorable results in keeping carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions low but that are also as
cost-effective as possible. The German
governments goal is to achieve positive
environmental outcomes without having a
negative impact on consumers or German
business competitiveness.
Experts in the German Energy Agency
believe that new wind farms with an installed capacity of between 20 GW and 25
GW will need to be built in the North Sea
and the Baltic Sea over the next 20 years
to help meet the countrys demand. Moreover, an additional 850 km of new highvoltage power lines need to be built, and
400 km need upgrading in order to transport the wind power to households, even in
remote regions, according to a 2005 grid
study produced by the agency.
But improving the grid is just one aspect
of the governments policy. In the future, it
will also be important to network residential
customers, large industrial consumers, and
urban and rural areas with differing power
generation capacities in an intelligent manner, using smart grid technologies.
Triumphing over Construction

Challenges
Each of the 21 wind turbine units at the
EnBW Baltic 1 wind farm measures approximately 125 meters (m, 410 feet) from
the foundation to the blade tip (Figure 1).
In order to anchor these giant wind power
units in the sea and connect them to the

grid, suppliers, logisticians, technicians,
and engineers had to work hand-in-hand
on land and water. Production, transport,
installation, and other operations involved
in building the wind farm had to be coordinated under challenging conditions. When
difficult weather conditions developed,
construction had to be stopped.
The wind farms components were produced in several places: substation platform in Bremerhaven, Germany; monopiles
(foundations) for the platform and wind
turbine units in Rostock, Germany; transition pieces in Aarlborg, Denmark; cable
rolls in Cologne; and wind power units in
Denmark.
At the beginning of the offshore project,
the construction team probed the ground at
the site and then determined the positions
of the individual wind energy units. Next,
engineers dealt with the scour protection,
which consisted of two layers of stones
placed around each foundation base to
protect it against washing caused by waves
and currents. Then the monopiles were
driven into the ground with a gigantic ram
on a special ship. It took approximately
3,000 impacts to drive the approximately
37-m-long steel pipe about 20 m into the
seabed.
Next, the transition pieces, the monopiles, and the wind power units were connected with each other and placed over the
monopiles. The steel towers of the wind
turbines were then placed on the transi-

tion pieces with huge cranes. The heavy

cars with the generator, drives, and massive rotor blades were mounted next. Once
these units are put in place, neither wind
nor waves can move them.
After installation of the wind turbines,
the approximately 61-km-long deep sea
cable was laid and connected to the grid
onshore.
The substation platform was also
fixed to the ground using monopiles. The
450metric ton heavy steel platform rests
on just one monopile; when fully equipped,
it weighs almost double that. The foundation of the monopile and transition piece
with a total weight of 1,415 metric tons is
therefore three times as heavy as the foundation of the wind power units. The structure is protected against drifting ice by an
ice cone.
Underwater currents can cause continual
changes to the seabed. Therefore, to make
sure that no sand drifted away, causing destabilization of the foundations, another
stone ring was deposited around the base
of the foundations to protect against washing. This scour protection also holds the
cables, which are connected to the deep
sea cable of the internal electricity grid.
On the Horizon: EnBW Baltic 2

Siemens has orders for four more offshore
wind power plants in German waters: EnBW
Baltic 2 (288 MW), Borkum Riffgat (108
MW), DanTysk (288 MW), and Borkum
Riffgrund 1 (320 MW).
In June 2010, EnBW and Siemens Energy
entered into an agreement requiring Siemens
to supply 80 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3.6 MW and a rotor diameter of 120
meters, for the EnBW Baltic 2 project (previously Kriegers Flak).
EnBW Baltic 2 is a wind park with dimensions that clearly exceed EnBW Baltic 1,
said Stefan Kansy, EnBW project manager of
offshore wind energy. A great distance to the
shore, great water depths, and a varying construction soil need an experienced team. We
have such an experienced team, which implements this project with great commitment
this is the best guarantee for success.
EnBW Baltic 2 will be located approximately 32 km north of the island of Rgen in
the western Baltic Sea and will cover an area
of approximately 27 square km. Projected to
commence as early as 2012, the project will
generate 1,200 GWh of electricity annually
for approximately 340,000 households and
reduce CO2 emissions by 900,000 metric
tons. The new offshore wind farm is scheduled to come online in 2013.

ituated in central Californias breadbasket region, Bakersfield is a key agricultural center and a center for petroleum extraction and refining. Now this area
is harvesting another abundant resource: the

The Kimberlina Solar Thermal Energy
Plant, (initially developed by Ausra, which
was purchased by AREVA Solar in February 2010), began operation in 2008 with its
first three solar steam generators (SSGs),
which used saturated steam boilers. Since

Solar constructed, commissioned, and began operating its fourth solar steam gen42
erator (SSG4) at the 5-MW Kimberlina

facility in Bakersfield (Figure 1), which is
the first to use direct steam compact linear Fresnel reflector (CLFR) technology, a
type of concentrating solar power (CSP).
It uses the most advanced CLFR technology in the world, Katherine Potter, vice
president of communications for AREVA
Solar, told POWER in October. The result is
lower costs for stand-alone CLFR plants and
easier integration of solar resources with fossil-fired power plants for solar augmentation
and solar/hybrid power applications.
AREVA Solar was able to achieve direct steam generation through a proprietary
model predictive control system that overwww.powermag.com
came the challenge associated with parabolic

two-phase water/steam flow.
At full capacity, Kimberlinas solar steam
generators can generate up to 25 MW of
thermal energy or up to 5 MW of electricityenough power to supply 3,500 central
California households, according to Potter.
Field trials during September 2010 consistently demonstrated steam flow exceeding
predictions during steady and transient conditions, while maintaining exit steam conditions at 60 3 bar and 370 20C. The SSG4 is
expected to generate up to 450C superheated

Kimberlinas SSG4 proved that AREVA
Solars CLFR technology can help deliver
power even during periods of transient cloud
cover. During lights out testing, SSG4 had
sufficient solar thermal inertia to supply more
than 18 minutes of superheated steam.
Kimberlina is designed to help meet California peak demand and has operated with
high availability since it entered commercial
operation. Its peak production comes during Central Californias peak demand times,
when fossil-fired electricity is most expensive. A key benefit of solar energy is that the
cost of its fuelsolar radiationwill remain
consistent while the price of fossil fuels will
remain volatile.
Technical Innovations
In order to generate solar power, CLFR technology uses long, thin segments of mirrors,
or reflectors, to focus sunlight onto a fixed
receiver. These rows of reflectors can concentrate the suns energy up to approximately 50
times. With AREVA Solars technology, concentrated energy is transferred through boiler
tubes in the receiver, ultimately generating
high-pressure superheated steam. Unlike

powers a steam turbine.
The SSG4 delivers sustained, superheated
steam in a quick and cost-saving manner,
Potter explained. The design improves steam
production performance by eliminating
steam separation and recirculatory systems.
Once-through direct steam generation greatly
simplifies the overall system design by eliminating vessels, tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, and ancillary equipment. The tube bundle
incorporates multiple passes, with superheater tubes arranged in the high flux regions
and economizer/evaporator tubes arranged
in lower flux regions. This ensures sufficient
heat flux to sustain superheated steam temperatures throughout the operating day and
reduces the average bundle temperature to
reduce radiant heat losses. By eliminating the
recirculatory systems, the once-through SSG
reduces cost and startup time substantially,
while enhancing performance.
Kimberlina served as the testing ground
for AREVA Solar being named the first solar
steam power boiler manufacturer to receive
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) S Stamp Certificate of
Authorization, Potter said. An ASME S
Stamp is considered the industry hallmark of
acceptance and certification.
Plant Profile
The reflectors and receiver tubers used at
Kimberlina were manufactured at AREVA
Solars Las Vegas manufacturing facility.
Construction management was provided inhouse. Subcontractors were engaged for
civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical
activities, and the SSG4 boiler assembly was
performed by AREVA Solar.
Kimberlinas SSG4 demonstrated the
rapid erection of AREVA Solars CLFR design. Construction was accomplished over a
six-week period within budget, Potter said.
Unique for field-erected boilers, the SSG4
tube bundle was welded at grade. After being inspected, the receiver and tube bundle
support structure was placed over the bundles, secured, and then the entire receiver
structure, with boiler tubes, was hoisted to
its operating position, 60 feet above grade.

One of the most significant successes of the

project was the scheduling and sequencing
of commissioning activities. Overallfrom

and commissioningthe entire project took

just six months.
Overcoming Obstacles
Although Bakersfield has a good solar resource during the peak summer demand
period, it experiences less-favorable and lessconsistent solar conditions in the fall and
winter, Potter explained. This challenge provided AREVA Solar with a good opportunity
to test superheated steam production during
interim cloud coverage.
Unlike PV facilities, whose output is immediately interrupted by cloud cover, Kimberlina was able to sustain up to 18 minutes
of superheated steam production during a
period of cloud coverdemonstrating the
benefits of solar thermal power and AREVA
Solars CLFR technological advancement,
according to Potter.
The environmental and visual impacts
of power project development can often be
of concern to the local community. Potter
emphasized that AREVA Solar designed
its CLFR to minimize its environmental
footprint. The technology uses water as its
working fluid, which eliminates the use of
flammable synthetic fuels or expensive molten salts used in other CSP technologies. Its
closed-loop system helps ensure maximum
water conservation. CLFR is also the most
land-efficient solar technology, using up to
2.6 times less land compared with other solar
technologies. And, unlike fossil-fired power
plants, solar power has no emissions.
Bright Future for CLFR Technology

AREVA Solars success at Kimberlina is
leading to other commercial ventures. For
example, the company is constructing a solar power augmentation project at the Kogan
Creek coal-fired power plant in Australia and
has been chosen as the preferred solar thermal provider for the Solar Dawn project in
Australia. Potter said the company also is exploring product development advancements
that would use CLFR for enhanced oil recovery applications.

Costs
The most recent estimated cost of the solar generation component for the Martin Next Generation Solar Energy facility is approximately 27
cents per kWh, which is higher than the 11 cents
per kWh cost of generation from a new combined cycle gas fired unit, according to Bruce
Kullman, Martin Next Generation Solar Energy
Center senior operations specialist.
The Martin solar plant qualified for a
federal investment tax credit of about $120
million, which will be passed on directly
to customers to help lower the construction
costs of the project.
Regional Economic Growth
Facility Overview
Bryant explained how the solar and combined cycle technologies are tied together so
that when the sun is shining, plant operators
can effectively take their foot off the gas and
allow the sun to help generate power.
Spanning more than 500 acres on the companys 11,300-acre Martin Plant site, the new
solar facility consists of more than 190,000
mirrors carefully placed in trough alignments
to capture the sun, similar to the way a magnifying glass operates (Figure 1).
The mirrors are arranged in 6,816 solar
collection assemblies (SCAs) consisting of
28 mirrors per assembly, he said. Advanced
tracking technology maximizes the efficiency of the troughs as the sun moves across the
sky over the course of a day.
Centered in the 284 rows of assemblies totaling almost 53 linear miles are heat-collection elements20,000 vacuum-sealed, stainless steel
tubes, each more than 13 feet long. Inside the
tubes are nearly 800,000 gallons of a highly specialized heat transfer fluid that moves from the
field to the steam plant and back again within
more than 18 miles of carbon steel piping.
The fluid is heated by the sun to approximately 740F and then pumped over to a heat
exchanger at a steam plant. There, energy
from the heat transfer fluid is extracted to
create steam that is then integrated into a
steam cycle at one of the natural gasfired,
combined cycle generation units at the site.
Of the approximately 300 contracts
awarded on the project, more than half went
to Florida companies, Bryant said. Materi-
December 2011 POWER
als managers purchased recycled aluminum

from a company in St. Augustine, steel pylons from an Orlando firm, road material
from a quarry in Port Mayaca, and lumber
from Indiantown. The primary construction
contractor was Lauren Engineers and Constructors, Inc., of Abilene, Texas.
When the section of the site where the solar arrays are located was originally licensed in 1989,
it was intended to be used for a coal-powered
generation unit. The wetlands easement license
made sure that all impacted areas were properly
mitigated and created a 1,130-acre conservation
easement and preserved 291 acres of surrounding area. FPL has protected the easement and
preservation areas for more than two decades.
Now the area is being used for clean, renewable
solar energy instead of coal-fired generation.
Technical Challenges
Differences between conditions in the California desert, where the large SEGS facility is
located, and those in Florida led FPL to adopt
a number of structural innovations during construction of the Martin facility, Bryant said.
The arrays, which stand nearly 30 feet tall,
were developed to withstand 130-mph winds
by anchoring them with foundations larger
than those used at the SEGS facility. The more
than 6,800 frames that support the mirrors and
heat-collection elements are complex trussed
structures. Due to the potential for high winds,
the SCA frames were designed and constructed to be much more rigid than desert-based
frames, minimizing wind-related distortion
and the likelihood of breakage.

At a time when Florida is suffering from the

aftermath of the worst economic downturn
in decades and has an unemployment rate in
the double digits, the Martin Next Generation
Solar Energy Center is having a significant
positive economic impact on customers and
local economies.
Approximately 1,100 jobs were created during the construction phase of the project, and
FPL matched the skills of local workers with
project needs as much as possible. As a result,
more than half of the construction jobs were
filled by workers from Martin County and
nearby Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties. Six
permanent employees now work at the Martin
solar site. Other employees have been added to
the Martin crews to handle solar field operational and maintenance activities, which include
52 preventive maintenance procedures, 16 new
operating procedures, six operational reliability
checks, and 26 major maintenance work packages. Additional contractors have been hired to
perform other tasks, including mirror washing,
grass cutting, and weeding.
It is estimated that the investment of approximately $400 million in capital spending
on the project will generate tax revenues for
Martin County schools and other public services of approximately $78 million over the
plants lifetime.
Future Goals
Not content with their past successes, employees at the Martin Solar Energy Center are
focused on increasing the plants energy production, improving operational performance,
and demonstrating to the electric power industry that this first-of-its-kind facility in the
world can be a more cost-effective way to
produce solar power.
We continue to learn how to optimize the
performance of the facility and its technological infrastructure to ensure that we are capturing the most energy possible from Floridas
plentiful sunshine, Kullman said.

Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric

Projects Selective Water
Withdrawal Project, Oregon
Owners: Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon
Operator: Portland General Electric
Courtesy: Portland General Electric
In December 2009, construction of an underwater tower and fish collection

structure was successfully completed at the 465-MW Pelton Round Butte
Hydroelectric Project. The first-of-its-kind fish bypass and intake structure
returns temperatures in the lower Deschutes River to historic patterns and
restores downstream passage of Chinook, steelhead, and sockeye salmon
while maintaining existing generating capacity.
esting in a high desert setting in

Central Oregon, Lake Billy Chinook is surrounded by high basalt
cliffs and hillsides covered with sagebrush
and juniper. The lake was formed by the
construction of Round Butte Dam in 1964
and is fed by the Deschutes, Metolius, and
Crooked Rivers. With its scenic views and
large populations of bull trout and other
fish species, the lake for years has attracted large numbers of anglers, boaters, hikers, and sightseers.
The new bypass and intake structure
for the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric
Project was one of the main components
of a historic 50-year relicensing agreement
signed in 2004 by co-owners Portland General Electric (PGE) and the Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation
of Oregon (CTWS), Steve Corson, spokesman for PGE, told POWER in October. A
license with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the proj48
ect was issued in 2005, incorporating the

agreement. Officially known as the Selective Water Withdrawal Project (SWW), the
structure is the worlds only known floating surface fish collection facility coupled
with power generation (Figure 1). It was
designed to reflect the latest scientific data
about fish migration patterns. Construction wrapped up in 2009, and the project
was certified as complete in early 2010.
Challenges with Original Fish

Passage System
When the Round Butte dam was built in 1964,
it had negative impacts on certain fish species in the area, even though it incorporated
a juvenile and adult fish passage system. The
original system included a downstream juvenile skimmer (capture facility) in the forebay
of Round Butte Dam, an adult capture facility
with associated upstream fish ladders, and a
gondola that transported adult fish upstream
over Round Butte Dam.
www.powermag.com
Unfortunately, the passage system failed,

primarily due to downstream migration problems in Lake Billy Chinook, the reservoir behind Round Butte Dam. In 1966, when it was
apparent that fish passage for downstream juvenile fish wasnt functioning well, the system was abandoned. As a result of the failed
fish passage system, Chinook, steelhead, and
sockeye salmon were unable to make their
migration to the Pacific Ocean, and their populations dwindled. Consequently, kokanee
(landlocked sockeye salmon) and other nonmigratory fish species ended up populating
the reservoir.
A Unique Collaboration
The Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project
is the only U.S. hydroelectric project jointly
owned by a Native American tribe and a utility. Currently, the project is two-thirds owned
by PGE and one-third owned by the CTWS,
through Warm Springs Power Enterprises.

the middle dam, forms Lake Simtustus; the
lowermost dam, the re-regulating dam used to
balance river flows to meet peak power demands, is owned by CTWS. The three-dam
project has a total net capacity of 465 MW.
CTWS purchased their first interest in
the hydroelectric project from PGE effective Jan. 1, 2002. They have the option
to purchase additional interests up to a
maximum of 50.01% as early as the year
2029, according to the ownership agreement. The re-regulating dam powerhouse
remains wholly owned by the tribes.
While PGE and the CTWS had great
confidence that the science behind the
SWW project was sound, it required a
significant commitment to environmental
stewardship. At a cost of $108 million, and
with no historical precedent to confirm
that the system would successfully resolve
migration problems, moving forward with
the SWW represented a leap of faith.
As complicated and difficult as the engineering challenges of this project were,
PGE and the CTWS faced an equally
daunting task: obtaining support for this
project from more than 22 stakeholder
organizations and agencies with a diverse
and sometimes competing range of objectives, including the National Marine
Fisheries Service, the Oregon Department
of Environmental Quality, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S.
Department of the Interior.
An Innovative Solution
Following issuance of the new license by
FERC, the next challenge was for CH2M
HILL, the company selected to handle the
unprecedented engineering project, to take a
concept to design, and ultimately to operation. The SWW and associated fish facilities
at Round Butte Dam had to be designed to
attract and capture migrating salmon, steelhead, and sockeye salmon. The fish then
needed to be transported safely downstream.
In order for the SWW to achieve these
goals, the projects engineering team had to
meet the following major objectives:

Reorient the subtle surface currents toward

the dam to allow downstream-migrating
fish to find their way to the SWW.
Safely capture downstream-migrating salmonids attempting to leave the reservoir
using the SWW structure while excluding
fish from the turbine intakes.
Provide for the safe and efficient sorting,
enumeration, tag detection, marking, and
loading of downstream migrants for transport below the dam.
Manage the downstream water quality during late summer and fall by mixing surface
and deep waters to control the discharge
temperature and dissolved oxygen levels
mandated by the federal Clean Water Act.
Meet seismic standards, as well as wind,
wave, and hydraulic loading that an underwater structure is subject to.

Withdrawal Project, which was designed and constructed by CH2M HILL, won the 2011 American
Council of Engineering Companies national Grand Award. Courtesy: Portland General Electric
Achieve all of the above while maintaining hydroelectric generating capacity.
The size of the structure was driven by

the location of the original powerhouse
intake structure nearly 270 feet below
the surface of the reservoir. This structure needed to be connected to the original intake structure to supply water for
power generation while attracting fish and
withdrawing water from the upper 40 feet
of the reservoir. Adding to the challenge
was the fact that the reservoir could not be
drawn down to allow construction in a dry
area and thereby required the assembly of
components on site in a size-constrained
construction area.
Construction of the 273-foot tall SWW
tower was completed in December 2009.
The bottom structure of the tower is coupled to the historic deep intake. The vertical flow conduit and top structure rises out
of the bottom structure about 700 feet upstream of Round Butte Dam. It is capped
with a rectangular-shaped intake structure
that draws in generation water and fish.
Once the SWW tower became operational, it began collecting migrating fish.
The fish are collected in two V-screens located on either side of the two intakes. The
fish are then pumped to a fish-handling facility before being transported downstream
of the project, where they can continue
their migration to the Pacific Ocean. Water
from the tower passes separately through
turbines at the base of the dam to generate
electricity.
Successful Results
Biologists predicted that, in the long term,
at least 96% of the juvenile fish collected at the water withdrawal tower would
be safely transported downstream of the
project and, to date, those numbers have
already been exceeded. In 2011, the first
few adult salmon and steelhead began their
return trip from the Pacific Ocean, up the
Columbia and Deschutes Rivers.
The towers draw of warmer water off
the surface of Lake Billy Chinook helps
to keep the reservoir cooler in the summer, creating a healthier environment
for fish. The tower has an intake near its
bottom, so it can draw cold water during
summer and fall to mix with warmer surface water. This helps maintain appropriate downstream temperatures in the lower
Deschutes River. The modified reservoir
environment provides a better habitat for
bull trout, kokanee, and the rearing of juvenile sockeye salmon.

and the fastest energy payback of current PV technologies.

word-class solar plant in Canada?

No doubt some readers may be
caught off guard by this Top Plant
choice. Well, forget about the Frozen
North stereotypes of polar bears, dog sled
races, and ice fishing that are sometimes
associated with Canada. The Sarnia Solar
Project is located in the southernmost part
of Canada, just north of Detroit.
The Sarnia Solar Project has good solar
resource, favorable access to the grid, strong
community support, and low environmental
impact. It also has compelling commercial
features, including use of a proven technology, long-term power purchase agreements,
and long-term operations and maintenance
contracts, John Maniawski, Enbridges senior
director, power generation business development, told POWER in October.
The Sarnia plant complements Enbridges renewable portfolio in Ontario,
52
which includes three wind projects and

two other solar projects, and builds on
the important community relationships
that have been established with our crude
oil terminal in Sarnia, he said.
In 2009, Enbridge entered into an agreement with First Solar, a leading solar player, to expand the Sarnia facility from 20
MW to 80 MW, thereby creating what is,
for now, the worlds largest photovoltaic
(PV) facility. First Solar constructed the
project under a fixed price engineering,
procurement, and construction contract
and provides operations and maintenance
services.
CdTe PV Technology Benefits

The Sarnia Solar Project uses solar modules made with First Solars thin-film
cadmium telluride (CdTe) PV technology,
which has been used in more than 4,000
www.powermag.com
MW of installations in the U.S., Europe,

and Canada. The panels are constructed
for durability and easy installation and can
be recycled at the end of their lifecycle
(Figure 1).
CdTe PV has one of the lowest environmental impacts of any PV technology and
the fastest energy payback of current PV
technologies: under a year. (Energy payback is the time required for the output
of an energy system to pay for the energy
required to manufacture it.) The modules
are manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility whose management systems are certified to ISO 9001:2008 quality and ISO
14001:2004 environmental standards.
This technology is one of the lowestcost technologies in the industry, said
Maniawski. The cost of solar electricity
continues to decline through improvements
in technology and competition.

Financing Ontarios Solar Energy

Projects
Enbridges three solar projects (the other two
are in Tilbury and Amherstburg, Ontario)
take advantage of the Ontario Governments
Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program
(RESOP), which guarantees Enbridge a fixed
price for the power that it sells to the Ontario
Power Authority (OPA) under its 20-year
power purchase agreements.
The price paid to solar power generators
accounts for the cost of building solar facilities. The Government of Ontario recognized
that cost when it decided to include a mix of
renewable energy projects under the Green
Energy Act.
The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO) is the provinces independent
environmental watchdog and is appointed
by the Legislative Assembly. According to
ECO sources, in 2010, OPA paid electricity resource costs of C$317 million for conservation programs and C$269 million for
renewables. (The Canadian and U.S. dollar
were very near parity as this was written.)
This amount is recovered over a total Ontario
consumption in 2010 of 142 terawatt-hours
(142 billion kWh), which amounts to 0.4
cents per kWh (split roughly equally between
conservation and renewable subsidies).
According to OPA, that was 0.4 cents of the
13 cents per kWh that Ontarians paid on average (residential rate). In fairness, it must be acknowledged that this amount will rise as more
green energy comes online in future years.
Enbridges Ontario solar projects will not require an input cost from OPA once Enbridges
agreements under RESOP have expired.
December 2011 POWER
The Sarnia Solar Project makes good business sense for Enbridge. Maniawski noted that
it is an important implementation of our strategy to invest in renewable and alternative energy
sources that complement our core operations
and provide attractive returns to our investors.
He explained that the solar project has risk and
return characteristics that are fully consistent
with the companys low-risk business model
and similar to its crude oil pipeline business.
Promoting Environmental Success

Our neutral footprint plan also ensures that
the land and environment in and around our
projects are protected and improved, Maniawski noted. Under that plan, Enbridges
goal is to maintain its environmental footprint at January 2009 levels by taking the following actions:

Planting a tree for every tree the company

must remove to build new facilities.
Conserving an acre for every acre of natural habitat the company impacts.
Generating a kWh of renewable energy for
every kWh of energy its operations have
consumed since January 2009.
The Sarnia Solar Project helps Enbridge

meet its commitments in two ways. At the end
of the projects life, the company will fully
restore the 950 acres of land that the project
occupies, helping the company to meet its
acre for acre commitment. More immediately, the PV project generates about 120,000
MWh per year of emissions-free power and
prevents the production of more than 39,000
metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, which
www.powermag.com
helps the company to meet its kilowatt for

kilowatt commitment.
Community Impacts
At the peak of construction, the Sarnia Solar Project employed about 800 workers
and provided indirect benefits to dozens of
businesses in the Sarnia area, including engineering and design firms, construction subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers.
In addition, locally sourced materials for the
project were used whenever possible. Now
that its operating, the Sarnia Solar Project
employs two full-time employees.
Likewise, during construction, the 5-MW
Tilbury Solar Project generated about 300 construction jobs, and the 15-MW Amherstburg II
Solar Project employed about 350. As with the
Sarnia project, the Tilbury and Amherstburg II
projects provided indirect benefits to dozens
of businesses in southern Ontario. All three
sites have numerous contracts with local businesses for ongoing services such as landscape
maintenance, security, and snow removal.
In addition to contributing to the well-being
of local communities and the environment, the
Sarnia Solar Project has helped solidify Ontarios reputation as a world leader in renewable
and sustainable energy as the province moves
towards a cleaner future, Maniawski said.
The project also advances the Ontario
Green Energy Act, under which the Ontario
Government is aiming to increase investment
in renewable energy projects, improve conservation, create 50,000 jobs for Ontarians, and
create economic growth for the province.

GRID REGULATION
NorthWestern Energy Builds a

Regulating Reserve Plant
Stable grid operation is challenging, especially when intermittent and unpredictable renewable generation is added to the generation mix. For NorthWestern Energy, the best solution was adding fast-acting gas-fired generation
to its Montana electricity grid to meet required reliability standards while
replacing expensive third-party contracts for ancillary services.
By William T. Rhoads, PE, Dr. John S. Fitzpatrick, and Richard P. Walsh, NorthWestern Energy and Gary T. Wiseman, PE, The
Shaw Group
orthWestern Energys (NWEs) Dave

Gates Generating Station (DGGS), formerly the Mill Creek Generating Station, was constructed as a regulating reserve
plant to provide highly flexible reserve capacity for a grid with increasing nondispatchable
renewable energy sources. The $185 million
plantpurportedly the first built specifically
for electrical transmission grid regulation
dutyhas increased grid reliability, provides
a rapid ramp rate resource, and can operate at
low loads, which minimizes fuel costs.
The 150-MW natural gasfired plant
which was renamed in March 2011 in honor
of the late Dave Gates, NWEs vice president
of wholesale operationsbegan commercial
service on January 1, 2011 (Figure 1). It is
located at Mill Creek, near Anaconda, Mont.,
northwest of Butte.
Defining the Need

NWE is an electric and natural gas utility that
serves approximately 656,000 customers in the
western two-thirds of Montana, eastern South
Dakota, and central Nebraska. The company
is headquartered in Sioux Falls, S.D.; its Mon-
tana general office is located in Butte.

In 1997, the Montana legislature enacted
Senate Bill 390 (SB 390), the Electric Utility
Industry Restructuring and Customer Choice
Act, to deregulate the states electricity markets. To promote development of merchant
generation, SB 390 required Montana Power
Co. (MPC) to functionally separate its generation resources from its transmission and
distribution (T&D) assets. MPC sold its generating capacity to PPL Montana in 1999,
and NWE acquired MPCs remaining T&D
assets in 2002. At that time, NWE did not
own any generation assets in Montana, so it
relied on contracted power purchases from
outside its service territory. By 2005, quickly
rising power prices caught the attention of
the Montana Public Service Commission and
state legislators.
The Montana legislature passed House
Bill 25 (HB 25) in May 2007, which allowed
NWE to build and add new generation to its
rate base as part of the states move back
toward the regulated utility model. Also in
2007, NWE was faced with two problems
that threatened its grid-balancing authority

responsibilities: Purchased ancillary services

were becoming more costly, and renewal of
those contracts was just a few years away.
A self-assessment found that NWEs most
important generation need was not baseload
or peaking power, but regulating reserve
power. The Shaw Group was retained to perform an independent engineering assessment
of technology and plant siting options for a
plant designed to provide regulating services
to NWEs Montana grid.
Shaw completed site and technology recommendations in December 2007. The generation
technology options were quickly narrowed
to fast-acting natural gasfired, simple cycle
combustion turbines (CTs). The turbine selection process began in January 2008 and ended
in July 2008 when an agreement was reached
with Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS)
for three Swiftpacs, based on the FT8 combustion turbine (Figure 2). In addition, Shaw was
retained as the owners engineer for the project in the fall of 2008.

ties (a transmission system operator responsible for balancing electricity supply with
system demand at all times to meet strict
transmission system operating and reliability requirements), NWE operated its transmission control area in western and central
Montana without the benefit of owning or
operating company-owned generation. Consequently, before building DGGS, NWE
relied on several short-term contracts for balancing power, also called ancillary services,
to balance on a moment-to-moment basis the
differences between scheduled electric supply and demand within its assigned region.
The instantaneous measure of this balance
is known as the Area Control Error (ACE),
which is calculated every 4 seconds. The Control Performance Standards are a measure of
how well NWE manages its ACE. Generally,
NWEs main focus is to manage the magnitude of the ACE within prescribed limits.
Design requirements for grid regulation are
stringent because grid balancing requires a
plant to rapidly and continuously change load,
usually within seconds to minutes. Demands
on ancillary service providers in areas, like
Montana, with growing amounts of nondispatchable generation are expected to grow.
Nondispatchable resources for NWE
include about 150 MW of wind plus small

roof-top photovoltaic systems that are net
metered. Because wind is very difficult to
accurately schedule and can be highly volatile on a moment-to-moment basis, it is difficult to integrate into the transmission grid.
For example, generation from the Judith Gap
Wind Farm in south central Montana frequently ramps up from 0 MW to 131 MW in
10 minutes and ramps back down to 0 MW
in the same length of time. DGGS was sized
and designed to accommodate load changes
of this magnitude and speed.
Combustion Turbine Requirements

The technology assessment completed by
Shaw considered a wide range of generating
options for providing electrical transmission
system regulating service. The PWPS FT8 natural gasfired CT was the logical selection because of its many advantages, outlined below.
High Availability. Regulation service is
needed continually on the transmission system, so high availability is necessary.
Rapid Ramp Rate. The generating equipment must quickly respond to variations in
system generation and system load. NWEs
system needs were an aggregate ramp rate of
30 MW/minute.

Maximum Unit Turndown. A low minimum load keeps the offset of relatively inexpensive baseload power to a minimum yet
positions the plant to immediately respond to
system disturbances. Each of the three 50-MW
rated Swiftpacs consist of two CTs driving a
single, double-ended generator. Maximum
turndown is achieved with one of the two CTs
operating at about 3.5 MW.
Right-Sized Regulation. The size of the
plant will meet existing regulation capacity requirements, estimated at 127 MW in 2015. The
projected increase in wind generation is relatively large compared to existing system load.
The 3 x 50-MW Swiftpac plant will provide
the regulation response and capacity needed
for the system for the near term. DGGS has
provisions for a fourth unit, if needed.
Quick Construction. The plant had to be
constructed quickly to reduce NWEs future
market risk related to grid reliability, cost of
contracted regulation service, and contract
renewal dates.
Secondary Fuel Option. To avoid costly
upgrades to the gas transmission system, gas
supply to the plant can be interrupted in the
cold extremes of winter, when gas demand is
high. On-site storage for ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel allows continuous operation during
periods when gas is not available. The ability to use alternative liquid fuel improves the
general reliability of plant operations.
Regulatory Details
As part of the original project assessment, NWE
identified a dozen potential sites in Montana
where the plant could be located. Shaw developed a matrix of important siting parameters,
such as availability of natural gas, transmission
congestion, land use, and other similar factors.
A first cut reduced the dozen sites to a final four.
A more definitive list of 35 selection criteria
was then developed to assess the four sites. The
final analysis indicated that the best site was at
Mill Creek in southwestern Montana outside
of Anaconda. This site had minimal electrical
congestion and was near an existing substation
and a main natural gas trunk line. The site was
an existing brown fieldspecifically, a Superfund siteso permitting and land use issues
were minimized as long as the site was properly
remediated prior to construction.
The application for approval to construct
the plant was filed with the Montana Public
Service Commision (MPSC) in August 2008.
A provision of HB 25 allowed the MPSC up

well with the practical need to have the plant in
service by the time contracts with third-party
ancillary service providers expired. The first
MPSC hearings were held in February 2009
and, despite several interveners, the MPSC
granted project approval in May 2009.
In addition, an application for an air quality
permit was filed with the Montana Department
of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) in August
2008. The MDEQ required additional air dispersion modeling that was completed three
months later. The final, complete application
was submitted on Dec. 1, 2008. The MDEQ
approved the permit in January 2009. The air
quality permit includes the future, fourth unit.
Construction Plan
While the regulatory process continued, the
selection of the engineer, procure, and con-
struct (EPC) contractor continued. Fifteen

pre-bid qualification inquiries were sent out
in October 2008. Seven bidders were invited for a formal presentation, and four bidders were then selected to submit proposals.
Those proposals were received on February
20, 2009, concurrently with the MPSC hearings. NewMech, a Corval Group company,
was selected as the project EPC contractor.
NewMech subcontracted the engineering
work to Zachry. A full project release was
contingent on the MPSC approval. MPSC issued a final order on May 19, 2009, allowing
the project to go forward.
The form of the EPC contract was a guaranteed maximum price (GMP), excluding
change orders. As part of its owners engineer responsibilities, Shaw instituted a robust
change order review process to ensure that

added project costs were closely managed.

On the upside, if NewMech brought the project in for less than the GMP, then the contractor shared in 50% of the difference between
actual cost and the GMP. The project was
brought in under budget, which resulted in a
split in the savings.
DGGS was designed to be constructed in
two stages. The first phase entailed installation of the three Swiftpacs by the end of 2010
(Figure 3). The second and future phase is the
addition of a fourth Swiftpac, which could
occur between 2012 and 2015, depending
upon NWEs need for additional regulation
service in Montana.
Resource Sourcing
Natural gas to fire the CTs was obtained from
an existing NWE pipeline running between
Morel, which is about a mile north of Warm
Springs, and Anaconda. A new 24-inch natural gas pipeline, approximately 2.5 miles
long, connected the plant with the pipeline.
To control pressure in the pipeline, a compressor station, using three, 1,100-horsepower compressors, was located about 2.5 miles
from the facility near State Highway 48.
The fuel gas line to the plant also has an
important second use: It is designed to provide instantaneous storage (line packing) in
order to respond to rapid changes in gas demand caused by the CTs responding to grid
regulation needs.
Water for DGGS is sourced from the Silver Lake pipeline, a 34-inch-diameter line
that carries water from areas west of Anaconda to Butte. The pipeline crosses the southern end of NWEs property. Only 600 feet of
small-diameter pipeline was needed to bring
water into the plant, where it is stored in a
500,000-gallon raw water storage tank.
From that storage tank, water is filtered in
multimedia filters and then sent through cartridge filters before entering the reverse osmosis unit to remove dissolved minerals. The
reverse osmosis effluent is further processed
through an electro-deionization skid to meet
the water injection purity requirements of the
combustion turbine manufacturer and then
stored in a second 500,000-gallon demineralized water storage tank. The water injection
flow rate to each CT for NOx control is approximately 26 gpm. Wastewater produced
at the plant is primarily reverse osmosis reject water that is transported to the City of
Anacondas wastewater treatment plant via a
2-mile-long sewer line (Figure 4).

limit based on the historic best control technology and emission rates associated with
steady state operation. DGGS, however, was
designed to operate in a highly fluctuating
power generation mode to balance the grid.

A change in the standard BACT analyses and
compliance testing methods was required.
Bison Engineering, located in Helena,
Mont., prepared the air permit. Given the very
tight schedule for the project, the most stringent yet proven air quality control systems
were proposed as BACT for this installation:
water injection and a selective catalytic reduction system for NOx control, and catalytic
oxidizers for carbon monoxide (CO), volatile
organic compounds (VOC), and particulate
matter (PM2.5) control, based on fuel selection (natural gas). With the best control
methods proposed in the air permit application, the remaining question was what to propose as practical emission limits, given the
units unusual operation regime. Estimated
fuel consumption for the plant is 3,500 million standard cubic feet per year of natural
gas and approximately two million gallons
per year of ultra-low-sulfur fuel oil.
The levels of NOx and PM produced by
a typical CT are a function of turbine load,
but those of CO and VOC are not. At this
plant, emissions of CO and VOC were found
to vary significantly over its operating regime. For example, as turbine load increases,
mass flow rates of pollutants increase, yet
the concentration of those pollutants drops.

Conversely, as the turbine load drops, mass
flow rate drops, but concentration increases.
The concentration of emissions varies as the
turbine load changes, yet the maximum mass
emissions do not necessarily occur at maximum generation and turbine loads.
An analysis incorporating these and other
site and operating variables resulted in annual emissions (concentration and mass rate)
estimates for more than 30 possible operating scenarios. To determine the most likely
annual plant emissions, a probability distribution was assigned to the 30 scenarios, also
based on three years of site ambient temperature measurements. A conservative analysis
of the mathematical simulations using these
probability distributions determined that the
plant was not required to obtain a Prevention
of Significant Deterioration permit.
NWE proposed BACT emission rates at
the peak values found during operating simulations, irrespective of maximum generation
capacity. NWE requested as long an averaging period as possible, to account for periodic
nonsteady state operations. As emissions
vary greatly between fuels, BACT emission
rates are fuel dependent. Originally, NWE
proposed a concentration-based BACT rate,

as PWPS could guarantee a fairly constant
emission rate across most operational loads,
down to approximately 6% of maximum
turbine load. In order to provide the emissions guarantees at the low turbine loads,
the turbine vendor provided a slight derate
in emissions reduction at maximum generation. This derate provided predictable water
injection control and flame stability at the
low loads the turbines would typically experience at DGGS.
The application for the air quality permit was submitted in August of 2008 with
emission rates approximately two to four
times higher than current BACT levels for
aeroderivative turbines operating at steady
state. NOx and CO were proposed as concentrations (ppm) as a reasonable assurance
that the plant was meeting BACT at all operational loads, including low turbine loads.
Thirty-day averages were proposed on all
pollutants; PWPS was also willing to guarantee the emissions on an hourly basis.
The MDEQ requested that modeling of
PM2.5 be expanded to include additional
sources, most of which had never been
modeled or fully inventoried before. The
models, which included nine years of meteorological data, were modified to include
more than 300 additional sources. The new
models were then run several dozen times,
each run requiring more than 400 computing hours. Several months were required to
develop the inventories, rerun all modeling,
and modify the application.
The revised application was resubmitted in
December 2008 and was determined administratively complete. The final air quality permit
was issued on Jan. 22, 2009, in support of the
MPSC hearings in February 2009.
Offsetting Carbon Emissions

62
One of the more unique provisions of HB

25 is the requirement that a utility generating electricity from a new facility using
synthetic or natural gas offset its carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions by implementing
cost effective carbon offsets. Cost effective carbon offsets are defined as any combination of certified actions that are taken
to reduce carbon dioxide emissions or that
increase the absorptions of carbon dioxide,
which collectively do not increase the cost
of electricity produced annually on a permegawatt-hour basis by more than 2.5%.
Unlike other carbon offset programs,
Montanas law does not require offsetting a
quantity of CO2. Instead, the statute requires
spending a sum of money, to be determined
by the MPSC, for offset activities. NWE
elected to implement the carbon offset requirement through a grant program, making
funds available to third-party providers who
www.powermag.com
will implement the programs. Possible program types in which the investment can be
made include agriculture and forestry (such
as tree planting and reforestation), general
conservation (adding parks within 25 miles
of the plant, funding conservation easements, or permanently protecting lands that
support critical wildlife species), and energy conservation (building energy efficiency
and other energy lossreduction projects).
A request for proposals from carbonoffset providers was circulated in the spring
of 2010. The 26 applications received were
evaluated by an advisory council consisting
of representatives from MPSC, the conservation community, and NWE. A project
priority list and recommendations for funds
was submitted to the PSC for a final decision. A compliance hearing with the MPSC
is scheduled for November, during which
carbon offsets will be discussed. The final
decision is pending with the MPSC.
Third-Party Operator
When its plants were sold to PPL Montana
in 1999, most of NWEs expertise in plant
operation was lost. Because the May 2009
MPSC order approving DGGS required
NWE to operate the plant with its own
personnel after three years, in early 2009,
NWE solicited bids from three third-party
operators. NAES was selected in June 2009,
and the plant operations contract was in
place by the end of 2010. Having the plant
operator on board early was helpful during
discussions with the potential CT and other
major equipment suppliers regarding plant
operations and spare parts inventory needs.
As of September 30, 2011, the six engines
at the DGGS have operated 16,488 hours,
producing approximately 251,000 MWh
net. Two-unit availability has been 99.38%,
which provides sufficient regulation capacity except in extreme temperature conditions
when three units are needed. An impressive
5,465 engine starts have occurred since commercial operation. The plant has served as a
reliable replacement for third-party contracts
for regulation service by consistently meeting a monthly control performance standard
(CPS2) greater than 90%, the required reliability standard (Figure 5, p. 60).

Restructuring the South African

Power Industry
South Africa is at a critical turning point. An uncertain environment for private investment, escalating electricity prices, and a lack of available power
threaten South Africas position as an attractive investment destination for
many of the countrys most important industries. Power has been placed
at the forefront of the governments agenda, but South Africa needs a collaborative effort to meet the countrys energy demands and diversify its
generation portfolio in order to drive economic growth.
Sharon Saylor, Begum Agilonu, and Sidonie Pichard, Global Business Reports
ntil the late 1980s, South Africa enjoyed a surplus of some of the cheapest electricity in the world. However,
in 2008, after almost no investment in the
countrys power infrastructure for 20 years,
and facing escalating electricity demand,
South Africa found itself in the middle of
an electricity crisis. (See Whistling in the
Dark: Inside South Africas Power Crisis in
the November 2008 issue of POWER.)
The result was persistent power cuts
through programmed load-shedding in periods where short supply threatened the integrity of the national grid system, thereby
impacting the countrys mainstay industries.
The National Response to South Africas
Electricity Shortage policy document, released in January 2008, issued a plan to open
the national power infrastructure to private
investment, aimed at achieving supply-demand stability by 2012. Thus far, progress on
the national plan has lagged behind initial expectations, and access to electricity remains a
major inhibiting factor for economic growth.
The electricity market is dominated by Eskom, South Africas vertically integrated public
utility. Established in 1923, Eskom is responsible for 95% of the countrys generation. Today,
Eskom is the largest power producer in Africa,
providing more than 40% of the electricity used
across the continent, and the 10th-largest utility
in the world by generation capacity. Eskoms
fleet includes 27 operational power stations (including one nuclear plant) with a net maximum
capacity of 41,194 MW (as of Mar. 31, 2011).
The utility owns and operates the countrys national transmission system and provides electricity to about 45% of all end users in South
Africa. The other 55% is resold by redistributors
(including municipalities). South Africas electricity network consists of 395,419 kilometers
(km, 245,702 miles) of power lines and cables
(all voltages).
December 2011 POWER
Since 2008, Eskom has been under significant pressure to boost generation capacity and provide a stable supply of power.
In 20082009, as a result of the recession,
we saw a dip in demand, which allowed us
to push forward maintenance on existing
plants, explained Thava Govender, divisional executive of generation for Eskom. But in
20102011, the demand is reaching the levels that we saw before the recession, and now
the system is running very tightly. Our total
capacity is 42,000 MW, and we have a 15%
reserve margin and an operating reserve margin between 5% and 10%, which is not sufficient. If you take out gas generation, there
are days when we have no operating margin,
depending what is on maintenance, what is
on forced [outage], and the demandthat is
how tight the system runs.
Since 2008 we have added 1,000 MW of
diesel-fired gas turbines to the overall capacity, and they are exceptionally expensive to
run. For instance, the burning costs for the
most expensive coal fleet are 180 rand (R)
to R220 [$22.50 to $27.50] per MWh, compared to R2,000 per MWh for gas turbines.
Our biggest challenge at the moment is
to meet our demand and continue our maintenance schedule. Our fleet is middle-aged,
which means they need extensive maintenance (shutting down for 60 to 120 days),
and ideally, we would like 10% planned
maintenance of our fleet per year, but we are
not in a position to do this, and last year we
succeeded in only 8%. We have a plan to shut
down some of our units over the next five
years to make them compliant with environmental requirements. We also need to reduce
forced outages, but with a middle-aged fleet,
this is a challenge. On average we have 3,600
MW of unplanned maintenance.

power station is expected late 2017/early

2018 and will constitute the last stage of

Eskoms committed capacity expansion program. There has been no approval of or commitment to any new generation after that.
Eskom must raise capital to pursue its
committed capacity expansion program and
improve and refurbish its current operations.
Capital expenditure is expected to grow to
more than a trillion rand by 2026 and to be
funded from operating cash flows, shareholder loans, and debt financing (raised locally
and internationally), as well as the proposed
R20 billion government equity recapitalization over the next three years. Eskom also
successfully secured a $3.75 billion loan
from the World Bank, the biggest loan that
the bank has ever given to a South African
company. Clauses attached to the loan for
Eskoms new-build program insist on new
generation from cleaner energy sources.
A 20-Year Plan
Long-term underinvestment in the South African electricity industry for new generation

capacity, further compounded by an aging
fleet and the need for upgrades in the transmission and distribution sector, have resulted
in significant project bottlenecks. However,
the governments Integrated Resource Plan
2010 (IRP 2010) and subsequent Policy-Adjusted IRP set out a 20-year electricity plan
(20102030) for South Africa to increase
capacity and change the nations energy mix
and competitive landscape within the context
of global warming and globalization. As reflected in the IRP 2010, the power supply crisis accelerated the need to diversify Eskoms
energy mix and move toward more diverse
energy sources such as nuclear power, natural
gas, and various forms of renewable energy.
The IRP 2010 also outlines the efficient
use of existing resources, such as coal, while
ensuring continued investment in clean coal
technology, intensifying energy efficiency
measures, and aligning the countrys power
strategy with objectives set in the long-term
mitigation scenarios and climate change
commitments made at Copenhagen.
These goals, of course, add to the complexity of South Africas power supply mix. With
85% of its generation capacity from coal,
South Africa is one of the top global polluters and the14th highest emitter of greenhouse
gases. At the moment, coal is supplemented
by a few small hydro plants (1.5%), pumped
storage (3.5%), gas turbines (5.8%), one nuclear plant (4.4%) in the Western Cape, and
a few very small wind turbines. In light of
South Africas commitment to reduce emissions, Eskom has said it will reduce coals
current share of the countrys primary energy
mix to 70% by 2025 by obtaining 42% of new
generating capacity from renewable energy,
including concentrating solar power (CSP)
and photovoltaic (PV) power and wind, plus
an additional 23% from nuclear.

kind, as pointed out by Thiru Pillay, director at Deloitte, there are some elements that
require clarification: The first gap is a country-level holistic strategy, similar to the 1998
white paper, that talks to the full value chain,
including liquid fuel, primary energy, electricity, energy source mix, as well as the way
that we deal with the market structure all the
way down to how we deal with distribution.
Secondly, we need stronger leadership about
how we manage the role of private capital in
the sector. We have made a lot of progress
over the past two years, but we have been
slower than we should be in the sense that
we need the power on the ground. This is not
a private versus state intervention, but what
is the best solution for the country to ensure
the continuous investment of capital and infrastructure that the country needs.
Not So Cheap
South Africa led the world in low electricity
prices for many years, providing investors
with a very low energy tariff that was only
in 2011 surpassed by Canada as the cheapest electricity in the world. At $0.0855/kWh,
South African electricity is now 7% more expensive than Canadian electricity on average,
having risen by 26% in 2011, largely driven
by the need for financing extra capacity.
Thembani Bukula, full-time regulator for
the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA), says that the impact on the
countrys industries was taken into account
and that this increase wont make South Africa uncompetitive: From the perspective of
the Energy Intensive User Group, the good
years have passed and the years that we are
going to have are years where the price of the
electricity is going to be very much related to
the cost of producing that electricity. . . . It is
a known view that in the past it was not really
related. When you look at the whole infrastructure, we had a generation fleet that was
depleted and depreciated over a very short
space of time. It was producing at levels that
are not related to the cost, and when you look
at the increases that are projected, these are
increases that will bring the price of electricity to the mid-point of the price of electricity
in the different countries worldwide. We will
still be competitive, but the gap is not going
to be the 40% that it was. It will probably be
20%, but we have other advantages, such as
the reliability and security of our resources.
To align with the countrys goals to reduce
carbon emissions, the South African government has introduced a 2/kWh environmental
levy, which rose to 2.5/kWh, to be applied
to electricity generated from nonrenewable
energy sources. In addition, the South African National Treasury issued a discussion paper in December 2010 to look at the issue of a
www.powermag.com
carbon tax. The proposed Carbon Tax is still

be finalised. . . . but could potentially make
South Africa uncompetitive and be detrimental to the economy, believes Michael Meeser, Investec Capital Markets head of project
and infrastructure finance. The carbon tax
is nice to have, but there are more pressing
things to be done at this time.
South Africas aspiration is to achieve a
peak in national greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2025, followed by a plateau
in emissions and, ultimately, a decline in absolute emissions, conditional upon international
financial support, technology transfer, and a
global agreement on a climate change regime.
To upgrade and expand the countrys
electricity infrastructure, in 2005, Eskom decided to embark on an aggressive new-build
program. An estimated R343 billion will be
spent to fund a new generation of power stations, including two of the largest coal-fired
power plants ever built, Medupi (Figure 1)
and Kusile, as well as Ingula pumped storage. Eskom expects to build 17.1 GW of new
generation capacity by March 2018, followed
by a new nuclear plant to come online in
2023. But major funding decisions, technology issues, and localization concerns need
to be resolved very soon to ensure achieving
this goal. Ultimately, Eskom plans to double
its total generating capacity to 80,000 MW
over the next two decades. In addition to all
existing and planned power plants (including
10 GW committed coal), the plan includes
new generation from the following sources:
9.6 GW of nuclear, 6.3 GW of coal, 17.8 GW
of renewables, and 8.9 GW of other generation sources.
To fund the capital costs and rising operating costs, Eskom applied to NERSA for a
35% increase in electricity tariffs. The regulator awarded Eskom a second multi-year
price determination plan (MYPD2) of electricity price increases of approximately 25%
year on year from 2010 to 2013, which were
designed to cover expansion and operation
costs and provide a reasonable rate of return.
A Slow Road from Monopoly to

Competitive Market
Partly due to the lack of a cost-reflective
electricity tariff, as well as a well-established
regulatory and legislative framework, South
Africas attempts at creating an enabling environment for private participation were largely
unsuccessful. Instead, South Africa has seen
the failure of various privatization attempts.
However, despite these setbacks, the IRP
2010 clearly formulates the need for private
investment and calls for 30% of new generation to be procured from independent power
producers (IPPs). The Department of Energy
(DOE), NERSA, and the treasury have issued

a clearer framework for the upcoming first
round of renewable energy procurement in an
attempt to change the record for successful
private participation. Together with a higher
electricity tariff, private investors may finally
see the change they have been waiting for.
As Omar Vajeth, head of power and energy
at Absa Capital, notes: In South Africa, we
are trying to move from a very large monopoly utility with an abundance of cheap power
to a mindset of a competitive market. For 15
years we have been battling to get the concept
of competition in the country, and largely we
have not been successful at implementing the
processes to bring us to those stages. Now,
there is a need for private power to assist in
meeting South Africas capacity demand. . . .
and this need will drive investment.
Despite an extremely tightly balanced energy system, demand-side management focused on encouraging consumers to conserve
power during peak periods, a voluntary energy conservation scheme targeting industry
to reduce electricity consumption by 10%,
improved plant performance, and the return
to service of mothballed power stations have
helped the country avoid emergency loadshedding since 2008, even in the wake of the
2010 FIFA World Cup. Nevertheless, South
68
Africa is at a critical point for power development and economic growth.

Despite efforts to increase participation
by private players, Eskom has and will most
likely continue to hold its monopoly for decades to come. Govender explains Eskoms
position on the role of private players in the
market this way: There is the perception that
Eskom is trying to block IPPs, but this is certainly not the case. We battle every day for
extra megawatts. Every megawatt available
in South Africa has been signed up. For every
megawatt you add on or bring back into the
system, you negate the use of a gas turbine
that runs at R2,000 per MWh, so we will sign
on whatever we can.
Sheila Galloway, is group CEO of Utho
Capital (PTY) Ltd., which was previously
focused on the telecommunication sector
across Africa and has now seen high activity in the power industry. The company has
evolved into a leading public private partnership firm within Africa. Galloway notes that,
Across the continent and in South Africa,
utilities and government departments are
cash-strapped, so inevitably there is the need
to introduce private players to facilitate development in the power industry in the fastest
timeframe possible.

However, the environment has been less

than attractive for private players. The historical price point for electricity has not been
viable for private investment, and that is the
number one constraint, explains Deloittes
Pillay. The return on assets for Eskom needs
to be at least 8%, but is currently 4%. With a
further three rounds of 25% increases, it will
reach 8%. This means that the state is willing to invest in the electricity sector with a
return on assets of an expectation of 8%. The
public and business have difficulty in accepting a truly cost-reflective tariff for electricity. If you continue hiking the tariff, there is
a macroeconomic inflation issue. We have an
inflation-targeting strategy, and if you significantly increase the price of electricity, we
will have challenges to maintain the 3% to
6% inflation range, and that is the tradeoff.
Are we able to manage the more than doubling of pricing of services?
Currently, the buying and selling of power
lies within one single entity: Eskom. Establishing an Independent Systems and Market
Operator (ISMO) is a step toward promoting
private investment in the industry through
a more open and transparent process. The
Cabinet has agreed to bring up an ISMO bill
for discussion in parliament. As Ernst Venter

from Exxaros clean energy division says, If

we want to draw investors into the energy
landscape in South Africa, then we need to
put an enabling environment in place. For instance, we need to establish an ISMO; you
cannot have the same person as the jury and
the judicator. There are many working models internationally, for example, in Korea and
the UK there are IPPs operating successfully
with a state-owned generation company.
There is currently a debate about separation
of the system operator from Eskom. Though
there is merit in separating the single buyer
and the market operator, an ISMO means that
you no longer operate a vertically integrated
utility in Eskom and, thus, the system operator carries the risk of the power system.
As Pillay notes, If you take out the sys-
tem operator, you have increased the level

of risk in the system; then you need another
board, and a different management team, and
more handshakes between the different parts
of the value chain. . . . Over a period of time,
you are dealing with 30% of IPP generation
with 70% still from one player. Invariably,
80% of that 30%, by virtue of the funding
agreements, will be long-term bilateral contracts, and the other 20% may be traded in
the market. It would therefore appear that we
are reengineering an industry to secure the
dispatch of 20% of 30%.
Alastair Campbell, director of CIB mining,
energy, and infrastructure finance for Standard
Bank, points out that market conditions are

around renewable energy, and because of the

current energy shortage and the 180 billion
rand funding gap, Eskom is not in a position to
continue building power plants to supply the
countrys power. Even with the completion of
Medupi, Kusile, and the Ingula pumped storage scheme, we will still have an energy crisis,
which creates the economic prerogative and
justification for IPPs.
An initial glance would show little to no
movement toward private participation, but
in light of recent decisions around the renewable energy procurement progress, it appears
that although progress was slow, South Africa is finally moving forward.
South Africa has had an abortive start into
the IPP market, says Brigette Baillie, head of
project development and finance at Webber
Wentzel, one of the leading law firms involved
in amendment of the legislative frameworks
in early 2011 for private participation in new
generation. We were involved in advising
AES in the cancelled IPP peaker bid, and we
have also been involved in advising Kelvin
Power Station [Figure 2], which is one of the
few IPPs in the country. . . . But we will have
a whole host of generators in South Africa on
a long-term basis apart from Eskom. Whilst
some [power purchase agreements] were
signed pursuant to the [Medium Term Power
Purchase Programme], there were very few,
and they are short-term, and the cogeneration
projects were very small. We are now talking
about a substantial amount of megawatts coming from the private sector. We are also seeing
captive bilateral power deals being developed.
Anglo, for instance, has a tender at the moment looking for discard coal to be used to
generate power to be supplied back to Anglo,
and we expect Exxaro and Xstrata to begin
something similar soon.
She adds, DOE is a very new creation, it is
only 18 months old . . . it really is the embryonic stage of the South African power sector.
Andrew Johnstone is managing director
for African Infrastructure Investment Managers, a joint venture between Macquarie Bank
and Old Mutual to provide institutional capital and equity. He commented on the influence of risk appetite in attracting foreign and
private players into South Africa as compared
with the booming demand for them elsewhere
on the African continent: It depends on the
location of the investor, and their perspective
of return opportunity and the associated risk.
The South African jurisdiction provides a
far lower risk profile than other African jurisdictions, so there is likely to be a greater
inclination to favor South Africa for those
who are new to Africa. South Africa offers
greater certainty than other jurisdictions, a
lower risk profile, but also lower returns than
other African options. The period over which
POWER December 2011

the investor is comfortable to invest will also
influence his choice of jurisdiction.
Over the last three years or so, the interest
in Africa has grown enormously on the back
of the emerging markets theme, greater
availability of high-quality information such
as publications highlighting the attractions of
Africa as an investment destination, which is
improving both data and also credibility. The
large investor markets such as the U.S. and
Europe are starting to look at Africa, and that
is creating momentum.
Most other African countries are operating
in a dollar market, which Absa Capitals Vajeth says is more attractive for some foreign
investors than South Africas rand market: If
investors can be comfortable with taking more
risks in those countries, then there are opportunities. . . . South Africa can continue to play
a large role in providing the stability and governance framework for African countries to
grow. In the future, we may need to go to foreign markets, but in South Africa for now we
are operating in a rand offtake market, and we
have the capacity to fund our own projects.
This is a time of much activity for South
African financial institutions, and Nedbank
Capital cautions developers to be selective
in their choice of financial institutions. If
the institution is overexposed, the development of the entire project can be at risk. This
is why we are selective in the mandates that
we sign, and we carefully gauge our capacity to structure, close, and participate in those
projects, says Sakkie Leimecke, lead principle for energy at Nedbank Capital. There
is room in the market for a combination of
international and local banks. In time, as
the renewable energy sector becomes more
developed, new financial instruments will
become available, and financial institutions
such as pension funds will start to create appetite for involvement.
Coal
In 2006, Eskom received a license to build
the first new coal-fired power station in more
than 20 years. It is called Medupi, meaning
rain that soaks parched lands, giving economic relief. The station comprises six units,
to be commissioned at nine-month intervals,
totaling 4,788 MW of installed capacity. The
first unit is scheduled to be commissioned
late 2012 and the last by 2015. The plant has
a planned operational life of 50 years.
This project boasts a number of firsts. Medupi will be Eskoms first supercritical plant, enabling operation at higher temperatures and
pressures than previous generation boilers, with
greater efficiency. It will also be the biggest drycooled power station in the world. Additionally,
the boiler and turbine contracts were the largest
Eskom had ever signed. Hitachi Power Africa
will supply the boiler plant and auxiliary equipment to both 6 x 800-MW coal-fired plants, and
Alstom S&E has the turbine contract.

Kusile is the second most advanced coalfired power plant project after Medupi, consisting of six units, each rated at approximately
800 MW for a total of roughly 4,800 MW. The
first unit is planned for commercial operation
in 2014. Other units will be commissioned at
approximately eight-month intervals, with the
last unit expected to be in commercial operation by 2018. It will be the first power station
in South Africa to be installed with flue gas
desulfurization, state-of-the art technology in
line with current international practice.
Contracts for the new-build program stipulate levels of localization and job creation.
With a 25% unemployment rate, South Africas industries remain focused on skill development and employment opportunities.
Hitachi has spent more than R1 billion on
the resuscitation of the boiler industry on localization investment; this includes upgrading
of facilities that were in existence and building new ones for boiler pressure part manufacturing, explains Johannes Musel, CEO for
Hitachi Power Africa (Pty) Ltd. Eventually,
after the completion of Medupi and Kusile,

the factories can be used to export to global
markets. Together with our partners and subcontractors, we employ 4,500 people.
Localization varies by technology. For
coal-fired plants, the advantage is that over
60% is local content, as Hitachi has reestablished an entire boiler manufacturing industry which had completely disappeared. This
has created a lot of jobs in the process. For
nuclear there will be a much larger portion of
import content, Musel notes.
The Murray & Roberts Group is currently
engaged as one of the most significant players in the construction of Medupi and Kusile
stations, and through a joint venture they are
responsible for Medupis civil work and have
a contract with Hitachi to do the mechanical
work for the boilers. Availability of skills
and maturity (or lack thereof) in our industrial market space are key challenges in South
Africa, comments Mile Sofijanic, senior executive director, Murray & Roberts Group.
South Africa needs some form of South
African industrial revolution to be ready to
face the high level of technical skills, knowledge, processes, and structure required for the
implementation of the nuclear program, Sofijanic continues. In our opinion, new power
plants need to be completed in a cost-effective
manner in line with world norms for productivity, quality, and safety. . . . and unlike many
other countries, we have objectives that run in
parallel to executing projects, including alleviation of poverty, localization, and empowerment of previously disadvantaged peoples.
In addition to the lack of development
within the industry, there has been a mass
exodus of qualified engineers over the years,
which makes attracting and retaining personnel a huge obstacle. Unique to South Africa
is the lack of skilled artisans, explains Ute

Eskoms Financial Position

Paul OFlaherty, Eskoms finance director
responsible for the new-build program,
discusses Eskoms financial status and the
effects of new pricing and possible tax legislation on the economy.
You have taken Eskom from a place of
tremendous funding uncertainty to securing one of the largest loans from the
World Bank. Can you outline some of the
key objectives achieved since your appointment in January 2010?
We looked at a number of funding solutions for Eskom, because at that stage
the board of Eskom decided not to place
any further contracts for Kusile because we
did not have a funding plan. We looked at
45 funding options for Eskom, including
selling off assets and selling off interests
in Kusile. Ultimately, we agreed with the
National Treasury and the DPE [Department of Public Enterprises] in September
2010 thatas our cash flows were pushed
out because of Kusile and the crunch of
our funding, which around the next three
years was not as severe as we thought
to extend the government guarantees from
R174 billion to R350 billion and to allow
Eskom to tap various forms of funding with
the aim not to do this solely on the guarantees, but to only use them when absolutely required.
We figured out that, to the end of
Kusile (2017/18), taking into account operational cash flows, we needed R300 billion, and today we have secured, signed,
and sealed around 72% of that. At of the
end of June 2011 we have drawn down
R80 billion of it.
Our sources are diverse, and we see export credits as a big opportunity, having
already secured R32 billion from export
credits, R28 billion from the World Bank,
R21 billion from the African Development
Bank, R15 billion from the Development
Bank of South Africa, and we also intend
tapping the local and international bond
markets for approximately R90 billion
from which last year we got R28 billion.
There are still unidentified sources of
around R25 billion that we are looking at
across a variety of funds locally and internationally. There is potential for more
export credits and for future international
December 2011 POWER
bonds. Where we sit today we are very

comfortable that we can fund the entire
R300 billion, so we are very confident we
can complete Kusile.
With a clear funding path to see you
through to the completion of Kusile,
what do you envision post-Kusile to fulfill the remaining 70% of new generation to be commissioned by Eskom?
Post-Kusile is another ballgame. We are
busy working with the DPE to figure out,
where in the 40,000 MW required by 2030
does Eskom fit in? Governments intent is
that Eskom does 60% to 70% of that, and
the question remains how we fund it.
For instance, if Eskom had to build the
entire 9,600 MW of nuclear, funding would
be an issue, but not the major issue. There
are plenty of funds out there and plenty of
opportunities for funding, so while it was
our number one constraint in the past, we
do not see it as our number one constraint
anymore. We see execution and project
management skills as the number one constraint, and we are encouraged to hear the
minister talk about private partnerships;
we cannot do this on our own.
our plans are coming together. In order to

get to that investment grade, we cannot get
away with anything less than 15% to 18%
increases over the three years post-MYPD 2
[the second multi-year price determination
plan], but that is excluding nuclear, and
more expensive solar and wind; therefore,
it is going to be a very tough conversation
determining the right number. The regulator says 25% for the next two years, and
we are saying we can tone that down but
extend the price increase for a longer time.
What is that number? is what we are trying
to figure out.
NERSA [the energy industry regulator]

agreed to a tariff increase of 25% for
the next three consecutive years, although this was below the amount requested by Eskom. What would be the
optimal increase to enable a profitable/
cost-reflective return for Eskom without
compromising the competitiveness of
some of South Africas mainstay industries such as mining?
That is very difficult. From an Eskom
company point of view, currently, on a
stand-alone basis, we are not investment
grade; we are B at best. We get an investment grade rating because of the government uplift, being a sovereign-owned
company; therefore, we depend highly on
government support.
Ultimately, our view is that over time
Eskom needs to be a stand-alone investment grade and wean itself off government
support. We think we can be there in four
years time, and the fact that we were able
to raise international bonds off our own
balance sheets means that people can see
What will be the impact of a carbon tax

on Eskom and the economy, and how do
you see this coming to fruition?
We are busy having these debates with
the National Treasury. There are effectively
two options. The first is a pass-through for
Eskom, which means we will not bear any
cost, the same as the environmental levy.
The second is that Eskom bears the tax,
which means we make less profit, and if we
do not get an increase in tariff we would
be even more dependent on government
because we would struggle to get to the
right credit ratings, and we would struggle
to raise debt off our own balance sheet.
It is a two-edged sword. I think we need
to look at a grandfathering approach, that
all new emitters with carbon content pay
more. It is an historical inheritance for Eskom, and you should not penalize Eskom
because of its legacy. We are in discussions
with the National Treasury on the issue. It
seems certain it will be introduced, and we
need to give our input as to how it should
be introduced.

new-build program, the challenges were
massive; you could not find welders, fitters,
and drillersthe market was completely depleted. At Siemens, we decided to train our
own artisans to be able to serve our needs
and develop the industry. Siemens has developed 600 skilled artisans, and about 80%
have been placed in local industry.
While President Jacob Zuma has set job
creation as one of the governments fundamental priorities, Yokogawa South Africas
managing director, Herman van den Berg,
remarks that this has not affected the readiness within the South African marketplace to
adopt leading-edge technologies and move
further toward automation. Obviously,
there are technologies that cannot be applied
immediately. Some process enhancement
systems, asset automization systems, asset
maintenance systems, or process optimization software are not necessarily applicable
to South Africa because we are still struggling to get everybody employed. Its better
to give people jobs than to make a factory so
efficient that there is no need for manual labor anymore. However, there are many areas
were we can apply direct benefits to South
Africa, such as transmitters.

On any electricity system operating as close

to the margin as the South African system,
fast-dispatching generation resources are a
must, so the country is building pumped storage and peaking plants.
Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme consists of
an upper and a lower dam, both of approximately 22 million cubic meters water capacity (777
million cubic feet). The plant is scheduled to
come into full operation in 2013 with a planned
capacity of 1,352 MW. The dams are 4.6 km
apart and are connected by underground waterways that house 4 x 333-MW pump turbines.
Water is released during peak energy consumption from the upper dam through the pump turbines to the lower dam to generate electricity.
In addition to the Ingula project, GDF
Suez was awarded the contract for two diesel-fueled peaker projects (750 MW in Kwazulu-Natal and 330 MW in Eastern Cape),
estimated at R5 billion.
Clive Ferreira, director of Fieldstone Africa (Pty) Ltd. was involved in the first failed
attempt at private participation in the peaker
projects. He says, The first peaker project
was a failure. When they should have done
it, they didnt do it, and now they are doing
it and they probably should not. If capital is
a scarce commodity, we should rather build
cheaper baseload stations that can be run. The
fact that they are considering those expensive
peakers is an indication that we have failed in
POWER December 2011

proper planning. If you are in trouble today,
it is because you didnt plan five years ago,
and the only way to do it is to build expensive
peakers that run at 10 times higher cost.
Gas
South Africas deposits of natural gas are
small. The second round of adjustments,
which led to The Policy-Adjusted IRP, included securing a minimum 711 MW from
combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT) between 2019 and 2021 to improve security
of supply by providing back-up for planned
renewable generation as well as additional
CCGTs later in the IRP period.
But Sasol, the biggest local company listed
on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE),
responsible for producing synthetic fuels from
low-grade coal and a small amount from natural gas, awarded a contract to Wrtsil in early
2011 to provide the complete turnkey solution
for its gas-fueled combustion engine plant.
This is part of a new initiative developed under
Sasol New Energy Holding, the company responsible for low-carbon electricity in Sasol.
This will be a first for South Africa and the
largest of its kind on the continent.
Arnaud Gouet, head of South African operations for Wrtsil, comments: Our intention is to grow in South Africa. We recently
signed the 180-MW Sasol gas project [Figure 3], which is an extremely important project for us. Gas is becoming more and more
important. . . . it is flexible, affordable, and
clean energy. There are many projects for developing gas in South Africa as well as in the
region. There are gas opportunities in Mozambique, and there might be other opportunities for [liquefied natural gas] and other gas
fields offshore on the west coast. This project
will be a landmark project.
The project south of Johannesburg, at an
altitude of 1,700 meters (5,577 feet), is not
without its challenges. Wrtsil, a leading
global supplier of flexible power plants and
services to the global power generation market, will use 18 20V34SG generating sets running on natural gas to generate 180 MW of
baseload capacity for the companys own use;
excess production will be wheeled through the
national grid. In addition to enabling a reduction in Sasols operating costs, the new power
plant will notably reduce the companys carbon footprint in the area. Another key envi-

ronmental factor is that the Wrtsil solution

operates with a closed-loop cooling system,
thus consuming absolutely no water, which is
critical to a country with water scarcity.
Sasol is only one of many energy-intensive users that are looking into generation for
their own use. Many of the mining houses
are following suit, including Anglo American and Xstratas Lesedi project, both in an
attempt to secure energy supply and reduce
their carbon footprint.
Exxaro has also seen the opportunity: As
the second-largest coal producer in South
Africa and the largest coal supplier to Eskom
. . . we have identified a massive opportunity
for value creation by entering into the energy
industry, and we are currently establishing an
energy company, says Ernst Venter, executive general manager, business growth, for
Exxaro. He cited three reasons for the move:
the need for reliable baseload power supply
to support growth, price hedging, and a desire to move toward being the first carbonneutral company in South Africa.
Nuclear
Currently South Africas only nuclear plant,
Koeberg in the Western Cape comprises two
900-MW units (Figure 4). It was constructed
and commissioned in the 1980s, and the country has not added any additional nuclear capacity since then, despite many ongoing plans.
The Koeberg plant was built by Framatome
(now Areva) using pressurized water reactors
and is owned and operated by Eskom.
Several years ago, the Board of Directors of
Eskom approved a plan to expand the companys
nuclear fleet to more than 25% of the countrys
generation by adding 20 GW of new nuclear
capacity. The first unit was to be commissioned
in 2016. The environmental assessment process
for this Nuclear-1 project considered several
sites in the Western Cape. Technology options
considered were Arevas EPR and Westinghouses AP1000. Eskom later confirmed that,
due to lack of finance, it would not continue
with the nuclear program at that time.
Now South Africas energy policy plans to
increase nuclear from 5% to 15% of overall
capacity, which means 23% of new generation will come from nuclear. Based on the
natural resources available in South Africa,
wind and solar renewable energy should be
exploited meaningfully, but this needs to be
balanced by the need for energy security,
said managing director of Westinghouse,
Bultie Nel. Without substantial hydro being
available, nuclear is the only bulk option for
non-carbon-emitting power.
The IRP2 allows for the first 1,600 MW
of new nuclear capacity to be introduced in
2023, followed by five more 1,600-MW units
between 2024 and 2029. Energy Minister
POWER December 2011
Renewables
It was no surprise that in 2009, national and international renewable energy companies rushed
to the South African market with high hopes of

becoming profitable thanks to what appeared to
be one of the most attractive tariffs for renewable energy in the world. However, much to
the dismay of private investors, the renewable
energy feed-in tariff (REFIT) has since been
revisited, and a tender process with a competitive bid on price has prevailed. The objective
is to build a sustainable renewable industry
that contributes 42%, or 17,800 MW, of South
Africas new generation capacity by 2030. The
projects for onshore wind (1,850 MW), solar
photovoltaic (1,450 MW), concentrating solar
power (200 MW), biomass (12.5 MW), biogas
(12.5 MW), landfill gas (25 MW), small hydro
(75 MW), and other small projects of less than
5 MW (100 MW) are expected to involve foreign and domestic investment of between $10
billion and $12 billion.
The renewable energy target is based on
achieving a large portion of the 10,000 GWh
from solar water heating, as it is the most costeffective and easiest renewable option to implement. The current tender for the first 3,725
MW of renewable IPP projects will be released later in 2011 (after this report was completed) at the 17th Conference of the Parties to
the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change, hosted in Durban.

to prepare their bids, and there is an air of
skepticism as a result of the uncertainties surrounding [the renewables framework].

localization strategy well ahead of its nuclear
build program. It is important that the country is
ready to procure and develop the right skills at
the tight time, particularly engineering and technical skills to support the nuclear industry. The
French industry is ready to support the South African industry by teaming with them to obtain a
quick and sustainable know-how and technology
transfer, like we did in China 20 years ago.
Technology partners in the running include
Generation III designs by Areva (ERP), Westinghouse (AP1000), and Generation II designs
from Korea and China. However, in light of
the Fukushima disaster in Japan, approval of
a Generation III design by South Africas National Nuclear Regulator is most likely.

Eskoms Chief Nuclear Officer, Clive Le Roux, on Restarting a Nuclear Program

As South Africa makes its second attempt
at reinstating a new nuclear program, can
you provide us with an overview of the current situation for the planned 9,600 MW
of new nuclear capacity?
In 2006, because very little nuclear construction was being done in the West, the
market prices for nuclear power plants were
not well established. Therefore, Eskom made
a decision to go into the market and negotiate a commercial deal with all terms and
conditions before finalizing an investment
decision. We completed these negotiations,
and we had a recommended technology and
supplier and a full set of legal terms and
conditions and prices ready for our board in
2008. At that time the global financial crisis
hit and the board decided we could not do
nuclear with our balance sheet.
Eskom has not been instructed by government to do the new nuclear program, and how
this will be done will be a function of the balance sheet and technical capabilities in the
market, which have not been clarified.
What steps are currently under way to
prepare for the development of a new
nuclear fleet in South Africa?
We are completing the development work
for the new nuclear program. Approximately
eight years are required for execution, but
eight years are required for pre-planning. We
are working on the pre-planning, including
the EIA [environmental impact assessment],
the site safety report, the geotechs, the seismic hazard analysis, the land purchasing, and
these are saleable items and could be sold if
the government wishes a private partner to
be involved. The commercial process has to
be completed by 2015, and in my view this
is a three-year process and we need to start
in 2012.
At this point, we do not know the commercial process that the government would
like to run. One possible approach is to
first choose a technology and, second, to
issue a technology equity partnership enquiry and then to determine a shortlist for
negotiations to choose the final partner.
We completed this process previously in
only one year, but we did not have to deal
with the complexities of government and
equity partners. The markets comments from
the 2008 pre-planning was that it was the
78
fastest and best process for a nuclear power plant they have ever seen, and this was
shared by the American chief executive of
Westinghouse and French chief executive of
Areva with our Minister [of Energy].
Do you offer suggestions to the government on the type of technology you
would like to see implemented for the
new nuclear program?
We have to deal with the public perception
of the Japanese Fukushima event on the current design plans. We have done a detailed
study of our Koeberg plant based on the lessons learnt from Fukushima, and we have
come up with a number of improvements to
be made. Informally, there was major surprise
from other large utilities about the number of
issues we identified, and we have received a
lot of accolades on how we have completed
the analysis. It has been said that ours was
one of the leading analyses in the world.
This has informed us of modifications necessary for the requirements of a new plant.
We have also completed our EIA, and this has
assumed an envelope for the plant (not an exact design). The envelope covers a particular
approach towards a pressurized water reactor design and would probably exclude some
of the older generation designs, but we are
trying not to pin it to a specific generation
type. Our proposal is that we must use the
EIA envelope as our criteria; otherwise, we
must redo the public participation, and after
Fukushima, the public will not support us to
downgrade our EIA. We will backfit Koeberg,
but we do not want to backfit our new build.
Does South Africa have a well-defined legislative framework to support new nuclear
development?
South Africa is not ready for a large nuclear program. Many things in legislation and
many liabilities have not been adequately
addressed in terms of our protocols. For example, in a typical nuclear program, a government will pick up the liability beyond a
certain level from the utility, and the South
African legislation says the government
may pick up this liability.
What are the key challenges to establishing a local manufacturing industry for the
nuclear sector?
www.powermag.com
During Apartheid, because sanctions were

placed on South Africa, many industries established local manufacturing capabilities as
an import replacement program. For a local
manufacturing industry to happen, government needs to strategically invest significant public funds, as it is not sustainable
with the local market. Because of sanctions,
South Africa could not export, and most of
those local industries collapsed. The same
will happen on the new nuclear program.
If we do not embed a local manufacturing
industry into the global supply chain, it will
not be sustainable.
If it were commercially competitive,
someone would invest without pressure
from the government. Therefore, the governments intention for pushing a local
manufacturing industry for job creation
comes at a price tag, which might make it
nonsustainable, and it depends how deeply
they interfere in the free market.
We have done a lot of groundwork to understand the implications of a transfer of technology and transfer of know-how. For large
industries it would not happen without initial
strategic investment and a guarantee on the
debt based on the market and a reduction of
the [black economic empowerment] involvement to a minor share in order to get a big
international player to commit to use South
Africa as part of their global supply chain.
We completed a study five years ago called
the Tsapro project to look at nine countries
that have had national strategic supply
projects and have successfully implemented
a local program. A typical example are the
French, Koreans, and Japanese taking over
Westinghouses technology, and the common
factor to their success was their governments
strategic decision to back a specific technology. Government needs to interpret these
studies to enable legislation and to start the
process of developing and training people.
If we look at the nuclear step-change
growth from one nuclear power station (Koeberg) to three power stations, this is a 300%
growth, and the human resource skills needed
are immense. The government has not enabled the sponsorship and the changes at
the university level to allow this to happen.
Because of our financial difficulty, Eskom is
reluctant to take on additional burdens until
instructed by the government.
POWER December 2011

Regulator Bukula addressed the issue by saying, While we can
be criticized for the time delay, we wanted to make sure that what we
decided to implement was correct and sustainable. We are going to
have a regulatory environment that is second to none or comparable
to a first-world country.
Johnstone of African Infrastructure Investment Managers is in
agreement: Another challenge is the pursuit for short-term gains. Infrastructure is a long-term asset; it lasts a long time and takes a long
time to put in place. One needs to be purposeful, but also patient.
With a clearer framework, investors can finally move forward. Now
that the documents have been issued and it has been confirmed that the
bidders would have to bid a tariff subject to a cap, the market can digest
this and plan appropriately, says Meeser of Investec Capital Markets.
Im not averse to a competitive procedure, if the adjudication process
is clearly defined and transparent. I think it would be interesting if the
actual tariffs were published. The obvious benefit is that the consumer will
benefit through lower electricity prices. One of the pitfalls of a competitive
process when looking at international precedent in the renewable energy
sector is the potential of projects not to meet financial close, as the tariffs
bid could be unrealistically low as a result of aggressive assumptions.
As with the coal and nuclear industry, the renewable energy industry
is set to create employment opportunities. Although the selection is 70%
weighted toward price, a bidders price would only be considered once the
bidder had met the other economic development criteria, which carry a 30%
weighting in the final selection and include job creation, the involvement of
historically disadvantaged individuals in the project, community development, and economic spinoffs, such as the localization of components used
in development of the facilities. Foreign investors need to embrace South
Africas Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) legislation to involve historically disadvantaged individuals in all phases of their project.
In 2011, the International Development Corp. (IDC) launched its
green industry unit with a focus on renewable energy (non-fuel-based
green energymainly wind, PV and CSP, and small hydro), energy
efficiency and demand-side management, emission and pollution
management (waste management and recycling, water management,
and air pollution control), fuel-based green energy (waste to energy
and cogeneration), and biofuels (mostly bioethanol). IDC will invest
R22 billion over the next five years and contributes to the development of broad-based BEE in the industry.
We play a significant role in funding and developing projects where

BEE players are involved, commented Rentia van Tonder, head of
Green Industries SBU, IDC. We are not there to source BEE players
for companies. We prefer them to come to us with BEE partners, and
we can fund them to be a part of that project. We prefer to look at Broad
Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE), like community and
workers trust, especially in the renewable energy field, as it lends well
to facilitate the involvement of the communities.
For Siemens, BEE means ramping up resources and skills locally.
Our wind division will be the hub for the whole of Africa and all of
the Middle East. This means we will have the center of competence
located here, says Menikheim. In renewables we will look for partnerships in the industry, for instance in local manufacturing of wind
towers, and we are looking into a local setup with a civil company on
all the structuring for solar CSP and PV. . . .This means job creation
and training of people out of the local communities.
Though in its infancy, the renewable energy industry is set to take
shape. As Davin Chown, managing director, Mainstream Renewable
Power South Africa cautions, Our big challenge is to show government
that renewable energy will work. We cannot afford to have cowboys in the
market; we need players to prove that this is a sector that is sustainable.
Transmission and Distribution

A 20-year backlog in investment means that urgent and dramatic solutions are required for South Africas transmission and distribution
system. The transmission industry is in desperate need of investment,
projected to exceed R80 billion over the next five or six years and
extending to over R116 billion by the end of 2020, including needed
investment to strengthen connection to the Western Cape (Figure 5).
5. Continental connection. South Africas transmission system has interconnections with all of its neighboring countries. These
lineworkers are performing maintenance on part of Eskoms nearly
400,000 kilometers (nearly 248,548 miles) of power lines in South Africa. Of that total, the transmission network consists of 28,790 km of
lines with voltages ranging between 132 and 765 kV and a network of
160 substations. Courtesy: Eskom

Mongezi Ntsokolo, divisional executive
for transmission at Eskom, explained that
major focus areas have been identified
to strengthen the network and allow for
flexibility if there is a failure, and plans
for expansion have been outlined: South
Africa has more lightening activity than
many other countries, and with our high
towers at these high altitudes, our lines

are prone to lightening strikes. The second problem is birds, and their excretion.
. . . they account for more than 50% of our
faults. The third is fires; during winter, we
have runaway fires because of sugar canes,
and part of their harvesting involves burning the sugar, which dries the atmosphere
above them and ionizes and reduces the
air insulation between the lines, and the
lines actually flash over.
But to achieve the overall expansion
needed to meet demand as new generation
and diversification of generation sources
come online is not a quick process, as Ntsokolo points out: One of our key challenges is acquisition of land. We do not
have a quick process of resolving our
negotiations. We need to negotiate on a
wheeling buyer, wheeling seller, and this
takes a long time. Knowing that Eskom is
strengthening our networks, the prices are
higher than the normal commercial prices.
Even when those negotiations fail, there is
a legal process that, if it is the best line,
you can build, and that if it is in the best
interest of the country, you can invoke a
legal price for the owner to sell to you.
But it takes two years for this process to
happen.

South Africas electricity infrastructure

connects to all of its neighboring countries, largely because of excess demand
in the past that allowed it to supply much
of the needed demand to other countries
in the region. However, as a consequence
of South Africas energy supply crisis, and
because the energy supply contracts are
coming to an end, other countries in the
region are building their own power capacity to become self-sufficient. But the
Southern African region offers significant
clean generation capacity and growth opportunities both for Eskom and for South
Africa in hydro and wind, as well as coal
and gas reserves.
As Standard Banks Campbell commented: Ultimately, [the Inga Dam] in
the DRC [Democratic Republic of Congo]
will eventually go ahead, but most likely
on the back of large industrial customers
as the anchor customer to make it bankable. Once the Tete corridor, the various
IPPs, and REFIT take off, we will have the
beginnings of a properly deregulated free

derstanding, and this determines the connectivity. But despite South Africa having
talked about strengthening its networks to
neighboring countries for many years, the
practically, as Ntsokolo notes, is that, In
South Africa, we do not have excess power, thus we can only look at imports, and
the likely supplier would be Mozambique,
Botswana, Zambia, and DRC. The implication is cost. And at what price do we need
to buy this electricity? And the price must
not be higher than local generation. The
interconnectors have been a challenge; we
cannot commit to building until there are
commitments to taking, and you can not
commit to taking until you know the cost
of tariffs, and you cannot commit to this
until you know the cost of infrastructure.
It has to be a government-to-government
driven agenda.
There is heightened awareness of the
need to spearhead development across the
region. Right now the integration process
that is required in Africa and the various
regions is not occurring fast enough, and
as such, the continent remains dark until
such time as countries work closely and
collaborate, emphasized Galloway of
Utho Capital.
The Southern African Power Pool has
created plans for integration, but countries
cannot be forced to comply with them.
Hence, the need for strong regional leadership.
South Africas distribution industry is
also in dire need of a shake-up. The country
currently has two systems of distribution:
Eskom supplies bulk 132 kV electricity to
the municipalities, and the municipalities
are the redistributors and supply to the end
user; or Eskom supplies directly to end users. The distribution industry has a checkered history for successful implementation
of innovative systems to improve its infrastructure. It was not long ago that the
establishment of EDI holdings was made
to reconfigure the distribution network
into six regional electricity distributors
(REDS), each of whom would be responsible for raising its own funding and developing its own infrastructure.
However, a few months ago, this system
December 2011 POWER
was abolished, so the 287 municipalities

continue to handle their own distribution. The government has abandoned the
idea of REDS, and now we need to create different solutions and incentive-based
frameworks to move to improvements in
distribution and energy efficiency, remarked Tore Horvei, managing director
for the African operations of Norconsult,
a European consulting and engineering
group with experience across Africa. The
company recently decided to invest further
in South Africa to capitalize on the nations dire need for investment in generation, transmission, and distribution.
Horvei continued, At the moment there
has been a lot of focus on generation, but
we have a huge backlog of investment in
distribution and transmission, and there is

a lot of work needed in terms of expanding, upgrading, and rehabilitating existing
networks. Right now nine out of 10 times
power failures are a result of overloading
on the distribution system, and not because
of generation shortfalls.

We are facing some key challenges,
which unfortunately were not solved by
EDI. Firstly, municipalities depend on the
income from selling electricity. Thus, if
electricity is taken out of their control, it
means the municipalities lose the revenue
base. We also face constitutional challenges. For instance, the constitution states that
the distribution networks are the competency of municipalities; however, Eskom
has been given the responsibility of the
network should municipalities be deemed
incapable. In addition, the Municipal Fi-
nance Management Act does not allow a

municipal or government entity to transfer
assets into a PTY limited company. These
are challenges we need to continue to work
through.
South Africas distribution industry investment backlog is now estimated at R30
billion. Maleka commented on the longterm objectives in the restructuring process: EDI was supposed to give us mileage
in terms of being able to raise money and
improve infrastructure; however, now we
need to develop a new formula to tackle
these issues. We believe we need to work

in partnership with the municipalities, and
at this point we need to formulate what this
partnership will look like. The challenge for
municipalities is to raise the required funding needed to improve their infrastructure.
The backlog has been estimated at R30
million. However, the likelihood is that it
is probably much greater than this prediction. The system will collapse in the next
five years if nothing happens.
Eskom predicts that by 2017 it will be
one of the top five distribution networks
Brian Dames, Chief Executive, Eskom
The timely completion of your newbuild program will ensure mediumterm security; however, South Africas
mainstay industries, including mining, have been severely affected by
the lack of stable power supply in
the past. What is Eskom doing in the
short term?
Prior to 2008, we had electricity prices that increased at levels lower than
inflation, and the mining industry has
grown very well. A lot of this growth
has been based on Eskoms ability to
provide stable power and the fact that
Eskom was the largest buyer of coal in
South Africa, which meant a robust export industry was built as Eskom provided stable cash flow for coal supply.
Since 2008, we have had no interruptions, and no customer has been
asked not to expand. To date, we have
received no applications for a mining
project that we cannot supply power to.
The issue that we are working on is the
connection to the grid and determining the appropriate timelines for these
projects to come online. Over the next
82
two years, until the new stations are

running, the power supply-demand will
be tight.
Currently, we are working closely
with companies to create more efficient production processes. Eskom uses
the money that we receive through our
tariff to invest in our large customers, and in the last year we have invested R1 billion. We have seen great
benefits amongst our mining customers
in terms of reduction in energy usage
and increases in production. We have
very close relationships with our mining customers, and we provide quarterly
power system status updates.
We have called upon all consumers
to look at a 10% voluntary saving. We
believe this is more than possible. Our
GDP input over energy consumption
shows that we are woefully inefficient.
Some mining companies have already
achieved more than 10%. We have 134
of our large customers that have participated, and on average they have seen
about 5% energy savings.
One of the critical issues is how to
balance financial resources and sustain growth in the economy. The
country will be faced with incremental electricity price increases over the
next three consecutive years. Please
comment on how Eskom feels this will
not inhibit industrial growth.
It is very important that price reflects the cost of producing. South Africas electricity prices have historically
been very low and not reflective of the
economic cost of supply. Therefore, the
country needed to face the reality of
www.powermag.com
making sure that electricity prices are

cost-reflective. We had an extensive period of 20 years of increases that have
been below inflation, which have led us
to make inefficient investments, or, on
the other hand, create massive profits
for industry.
For us to raise financing, investors
need to have certainty about our ability to repay; therefore, cost-reflective
tariffs are important. This also encourages energy efficiency in the country.
This year our electricity prices are still
amongst the lowest in the world, and
we will migrate to a point that is costeffective.
What differentiates Eskom from other
state-owned utilities around the world?
Eskom is one of the largest utilities in
the world. As an integrated utility, for a
long period of time we have provided a
reliable and very competitive electricity supply. Eskom has brought universal
access from less than 25% to over 70%
of the population, and we continue to
have some of the best skills to continue
to run a vertically integrated utility.
Eskom runs the only nuclear plant
on the continent, some of the largest
power plants in the world, and we have
the largest dry-cooled stations in the
world.
Given our size and ability to leverage
our balance sheet, we were able to run a
US$1.75 billion bond, the largest of any
company in South Africa.
In 2001 we were voted the best power company in the world, and we have
full confidence to restore Eskom to that
level.

globally, and by then, the bulk of Eskoms
distribution networks will be under control. While Eskom is investing heavily
in its distribution networks, at the same
time it is adding more customers, in line
with its commitment to universal access
to electricity by 2014. Maleka reported:

lion households. In 2001 the government
took over the funding for these programs,
and now we have a penetration of 83% in
Eskom supply area and, on average per
annum, we electrify 120,000 homes from
Eskom.
The Short-Term Plan

The base case forecasts a supply shortfall
of 9 TWh of energy in 2012, and these
supply constraints are further complicated
and increased by the urgent need to undertake critical maintenance on generation
assets. Space needs to be created on the
system to support a comprehensive maintenance program to sustain the operational
integrity of the generation assets. Some of
this maintenance has already been significantly postponed.
Eskoms Govender observed, In essence, we have survived over the last three
years because we have been running an integrated generation control center. This is
a simple concept to ensure that everything
happening at a power station is channeled
through the center so that we can see the
risk, manage this at a senior level, and
plan accordingly. It does not detract from
the National Control Centre, which is the
central hub of the energy system and controls generation, transmission, and distribution. We have been in survival mode for
the past three years, and we will continue
to be for the next two years, until Medupi
comes online. We are in a unique position,
but in five to 10 years, countries such as
Germany and the UK will find themselves
in a similar situation.
Unlike the IRP 2010, which takes a
long-term look at the energy sector, the
December 2011 POWER
targets for the next three to five years that

need be achieved. Eskom is leading a campaign to encourage 49 million South Africans to reduce their energy consumption
and think of energy in a sustainable manner. The campaign stresses the importance
of pulling together as a nation to harness
energy savings. These measures will help
provide a safety net to deal with the immediate supply shortage.
There is also discussion around establishing a mandatory Energy Conservation
Scheme focusing on the largest electricity
users. To date, Eskom has asked for a voluntary 10% reduction from large industrial energy customers. Eskoms Govender
says, We are probably one of the only
suppliers in the world to spend billions to
encourage our customers to use less. Energy efficiency and conservation schemes
worked very well in Brazil, but the key issue in their success was that government
drove the initiative.
If we want to keep the lights on and
continue our maintenance, we need a
3,000- to 4,000-MW reduction by 2014.
. . . We are the guinea pigs, and many
utilities are waiting to see how we survive.
Although it will be difficult for the next
couple of years, we need the support of
the country, and the international community will learn from us. We got through the
World Cup, which was the coldest winter
in 20 years, and we survived. Already we
have been judged by the fact that we have
survived for three years against all odds.
The return to service of three mothballed coal-fired power stations (Camden, Komati, and Grootvlei) was one of
the initiatives taken by Eskom to increase
www.powermag.com
supply in the short term. Camden, with a

capacity of 1,520 MW, was brought back
in 2008; two units of 125 MW have been
recommissioned at Komati; and two 200MW units have been brought back online
at Grootvlei.
The Policy-Adjusted IRP assumes that
the older Eskom coal-fired power stations
are decommissioned at the end of their
50-year lifespan. It is possible that these
power stations could have their economic
life extended with some capital investment and continue to operate for another
10 years in case the proposed new-build
options are delayed or demand projections
prove insufficient. However, this would
have to be traded off against the plants
higher emissions and low efficiencies (in
the neighborhood of 30% to 33% maximum continuous rating for the mothballed
plants that have returned to service).
To date, Alstom has successfully completed a groundbreaking integrated boiler
and turbine retrofit of Arnot power plant,
which was finalized earlier this year. The
project added 50 MW per unit, from 350
MW to 400 MW each. Retrofits as well as
life extensions provide great opportunities
for major multinationals that have experience oversees.
Conclusion
The South African electricity supplydemand balance will remain tight until
such time as both Medupi and Kusile are
brought online. Eskom, once one of the
top utilities in the world, has, because of
the energy crisis, seen itself slide in the
rankings. However, since the crisis, Eskom has posted significant net profits to
be reinvested in the business. It has successfully managed to keep the lights on
at a time of tight supply and successfully
made it through the FIFA World Cup.
With the governments guarantees, Eskom has put together a funding plan for
the next seven years. In January 2011,
Standard & Poors improved both South
Africas sovereign rating and Eskoms rating from negative to stable, and the company was able to raise a bond of $1.75
billion. There is no doubt that Eskom is
in the wake of some of its toughest times,
but with stronger governmental support, a
strengthening of legislative frameworks,
and the successful implementation of private participation, the company can remain
competitive, reduce its carbon footprint,
and ensure economic growth.

PLANT OPERATIONS
Siemens Releases Shaping Power

Option for Renewables Integration
The need for flexible power generation has increased drastically over the past
few years, particularly when integrating renewables. Another driver is seasonal peaks in demand that have become more severe as global drought
conditions have reduced hydropower production. One option for addressing this need is the Siemens Energy SGT6-5000F with Shaping Power. It
offers the familiar gas turbine reoptimized for increased output and higher efficiency during hot weather and for improved operating flexibility at
part-load conditions.
By Bonnie Marini, PhD, Siemens Energy
low and stable plant operation, once the

norm, no longer meets the needs of the
modern integrated and extremely dynamic grid. New generation must be fast and flexible while remaining robust and reliable even
under very demanding operating conditions.
Gas turbines have always provided very flexible
operations compared with other utility-scale
generation choices, such as coal. The Siemens
SGT6-5000F gas turbine with Shaping Power
option is well-positioned to be the technology
choice for the 21st-century electricity grid that
demands faster and more flexible response,
without an efficiency penalty (Figure 1).
1. Responding with flexibility. Siemens Shaping Power option offers improved operating flexibility with its SGT6-5000F gas turbine. The turbine was redesigned to provide fast-ramping
capability that will meet the needs of a dynamic electricity grid. Courtesy: Siemens Energy
Modern Grid Problems
In the past, gas turbines operated as baseload units, or for peaking power supply for
short periods. Baseload units ran at maximum power for extended periods. Peakers
were expected to cycle frequently in order
to supply additional power when demand
increased. A regional power grid in the U.S.
might be supplied by a combination of nuclear, coal, wind, and gas-fired generation, with
gas ramping on and off or up and down for
peaks in demand during the day. An example
of daily grid demand and the sources of electricity supply is shown in Figure 2.
The need for fluctuating power supplies,
even with this traditional fuel mix, is immediately apparent because the familiar
baseload power generation plants were not
designed for fast load change following. In
response to that need, more flexibility has
been introduced into fuel-efficient gas turbine
combined cycles over the past few years. Integrated cycles are available with control logic allowing the plant to quickly ramp up and
down, reducing startup emissions and startup
costs. For example, the Siemens Flex-Plant
combined cycle series, first introduced in the
84
mid-2000s, improved the efficiency of power

generation and increased operating flexibility
while reducing the environmental footprint
of gas-powered generation.
In recent years, the need for operations
flexibility has increased drastically. The introduction of significant amounts of renewable generation created a situation where the
fluctuations in demand are not the only driver
for the need to change the amount of power
supplied by gas-fired generation. The introduction of a significant amount of renewable
generation resulted in rapid fluctuations in
supply power that must be quickly balanced
with quick-acting, and often very expensive,
generating sources (Figure 3). While demand

is fluctuating during the day, the supply from

renewables has a strong influence on the
shape of fossil-fired plant response, particularly during off-peak hours.
Renewables, such as wind and solar, are
not typically dispatchable generation. Once
installed, the operating cost of renewable
generation is low, so there is the desire by
grid operators to dispatch renewables whenever possible. In some regions, renewables
are usually dispatched first, either by utility
policy or because renewable generation has
the lowest market bid price.
When renewable generation was a small
percentage of the electricity supply to the
grid, small simple-cycle gas turbines were

used as renewable backup. Today, the amount

of renewable energy on the grid in some regions is very large, and therefore the need for
flexible power has grown. In some regions
with large renewable portfolios, ramp rate demands as high as 400 MW/min are required
to backstop fluctuating renewable generation.
One seldom-used approach is to manage the
renewable dispatch to meet existing system
response limitations. The more common approach is to use larger gas turbines, usually
in combined cycles, that can move in concert
with renewable electricity production.

The principle behind the design of Shaping

Power was to design a combined cycle plant
that complements renewable generation rather than clashing with it. The challenge for the
designers was to improve the turbine efficiency and power output at part and full load, unlike other familiar power increase processes
(see sidebar). These goals challenged designers to conquer the common problem with all
gas turbines: Power production drops as ambient temperatures rise. Shaping Power gives
the plant owner the option to quickly ramp up
or ramp down power quickly, without impact
on the life expectancy of turbine components,

even at high ambient temperatures.

Gas turbines use ambient air as their working fluid. The amount of air a turbine ingests is
controlled by the volume of the engine and the
density of the air. On a hot day, a fixed-size turbine will ingest less air mass than on a cold day
because the air is less dense. Gas turbine compressors have a maximum flow capability and
have some adjustability. Some compressors are
adjusted by one row of airfoils that open and
close, somewhat like window blinds, changing the amount of air that gets through. Making

large adjustments in flow with one row of airfoils results in a decrease in efficiency due to the
step change in volume across the row.
Historically, compressors were designed for
an operating point near ISO (standard) conditions, and the adjustability was used to ramp up
and down. Many newer engines have multiple
rows of adjustable airfoils. Using multiple rows
allows the change in volume to happen gradually and reduces the efficiency change when the
airfoils are closed or opened. Multiple rows of
adjustment are used to ramp up and down and
improve part-load efficiency. If the efficiency

is not changed significantly when the flow is
changed, this offers the opportunity to add more
range without sacrificing efficiency.
The Shaping Power design adds the advantage of a larger compressor to the flexibility
offered by multiple rows of variable compressor airfoils to extend the operating range
of the turbine. From the optimized baseload
design point, the engine can quickly ramp
down by closing the variable airfoils and
quickly ramp up by using the additional mass
flow through the oversized compressor.

This design is an improvement for two specific reasons. First, Shaping Power is a feature
that adds generation in excess of the baseload
power the engine produces, even when ambient
temperatures rise. This characteristic is advantageous whether there are renewables on the grid
or not. The second unique advantage is that significant amounts of power can be quickly and
predictably ramped in and out to support the grid
when renewables are cycling. In a combined
cycle, the plant can be operating before ramping in Shaping Power. The response is quick
because the bottoming cycle is already warm
and the steam turbine will automatically follow
the gas turbine. The result is a quick-responding
gas turbine that then produces a fast-responding
combined cycle.
The Shaping Power option available on
the SGT6-5000F has a turndown that is less
than 40% of baseload while remaining in
compliance with standard emissions regulations. This package design gives operators
the opportunity to go from the lowest turndown point to full Shaping Power at a ramp
rate of 30 MW/min per turbine, thus enabling
more than 400 MW of ramping capacity from
one SGT6-5000F 2 x 1 Flex-Plant at a rate
in excess of 60 MW/min. Siemens offers the
SGT6-5000F with Shaping Power in all of
the Flex-Plant configurations.
How Does Shaping Power Work?
The SGT6-5000F with Shaping Power option

begins with the base SGT6-5000F but with an
increase in compressor capacity, as discussed
above. The turbine runs at the same operating
More Options for Increasing Gas Turbine Power

Shaping Power uses an oversized compressor to supply the full mass
flow throughput of the gas turbine at a larger range of ambient temperatures to produce peaking power and to maintain part-load efficiency.
Standard gas turbines have adjustable inlet vanes to change mass flow
through the compressor, which are used when ramping the engine up
and down. Some gas turbines have more than one row of adjustable
inlet vanes to control the air flow into the compressor without significantly reducing engine efficiency.
Manufacturers offer a variety of equipment additions that can
produce more electricity from a particular gas turbine. All these options have advantages and, sometimes, major disadvantages. Here
are some examples.
Peak the Turbine. This approach increases the turbine inlet temperature, not the turbine mass flow. The downside of this approach is
that the increased temperature reduces the service life of gas turbine
hot parts. Because Shaping Power makes more power by increasing the
mass flow through the turbine and not by increasing operating temperature, service life is not reduced.
Chill the Inlet Air. Another option is to add a chiller and coil to
cool the inlet air, fooling the turbine into believing its a cool day.
88
Cooler air is more dense, therefore more air mass flow moves through
the turbine, increasing the power production. This option works well
and can be installed upstream of any gas turbine. The downside of this
technology is cost and the significant auxiliary load to run the chiller,
reducing plant efficiency.
Cool the Inlet Air. A similar option is to use evaporative cooling to
cool the air entering the gas turbine. The moisture addition cools the
air. This option works well in regions with low to moderate ambient humidity, but this system uses significant quantities of purified water.
Inject Steam. Steam power augmentation is also an option. This
technology injects steam into either the compressor or the combustor,
or both, again providing more mass through the turbine. The downside is
obvious: A continuous supply of very clean steam is required.
Duct Fire the Exhaust. Another popular option is duct firing the
gas turbine exhaust gas to raise its temperature before it enters the
steam generator. This option does not impact the gas turbine but does
increase steam production and therefore increases power generation
from the bottoming cycle. Duct-firing systems are fairly low in capital
cost, but the cycle efficiency decreases when used. Another downside
is increased plant fuel consumption.

temperature as the base variant, so Shaping

Power has no impact on service life. Shaping Power works much like duct firing on a
combined cycle. Duct firing supplements the
exhaust energy to produce more steam by the
heat recovery steam generator. The additional
steam produced can then be used to produce full
load from the steam turbine, even when the gas
turbine is at part load. With Shaping Power, the
same process takes place, but its the untapped
capacity of the gas turbine that is leveraged.
The advantages of Shaping Power grow
when temperatures rise. On a hot day, the
gas turbine has less flow than it is capable
of using. Shaping Power increases this mass
flow to fully exploit the unused gas turbine
capability (Figure 4). This capability enables
a variety of new applications. For example,
on a given day, the grid operator can choose
how much power to produce. The engine
can operate anywhere in the gray region of
Figure 4 without any change in operating
temperature, and therefore without change in
emission levels. The turbine can also operate
below the lower line in part-load operation.
With an SGT6-5000F, the engine can also
operate at levels of less than 40% load in
standard emissions compliance, so the range
of output available is substantial.
In combined cycle mode with duct firing
active, the capability of Shaping Power is
clear: User-specified power is produced at
a lower heat rate from the same bottoming
cycle (Figure 5). From another perspective,
Shaping Power moves the optimum design
point to a point lower than the maximum
power output of the engine. The difference
is that the unit with Shaping Power has about
10% more power capability when operating
at its highest efficiency.

plants are tasked with filling in the voids

GE Develops FlexEfficiency 50 for

Increased Operational Flexibility
The newest member of the 60% thermal efficiency combined cycle club is GE
Energys FlexEfficiency 50. In an era when flexible grid operation is growing in importance, this 50 Hz, single-shaft combined cycle also holds its
design point efficiency down to 87% load and features turndown to 40%
of rated load.
By Dr. Robert Peltier, PE
ave you noticed the different approaches used by U.S. and European utilities to purchase and install
gas-fired combined cycle plants? Neither
approach is intrinsically better; it is just a
difference in project philosophy.
In the U.S., the project begins by sourcing major components by competitive
bid, an engineering company decides how
to flange all the parts together, a control
equipment supplier integrates operation of
all the parts, and a contractor assembles
all the parts to produce a working plant.
Sometimes the contractor takes the lead
under an engineer-procure-construct contract, and sometimes the owner maintains
control of the project. There are variations,
but this has been the general approach in
the past.
In Europe (and many other parts of the
world, typically, 50 Hz regions), the plant
owner purchases the complete plant from a
major equipment supplier, and that supplier
handles the entire project, normally selfsupplying all of the major equipment on the
project, including the plant control system.

Class Warfare
Understanding the different procurement
practices is helpful when viewing the latest
high-efficiency combined cycle designs.
Today, several suppliers have, or will soon
have, gas-fired plant designs that are pushing the 60% effi ciency barrier. Each of
those 50 Hz plants features an integrated
design based on that suppliers equipment.
That is very good news for utilities that are
in the market for a new 50 Hz plant. That is
not such good news for utilities that are in
60 Hz countries, like those in the Western
Hemisphere.
The latest addition to the 60% thermal
efficiency class of plants is GE Energys
FlexEfficiency 50 plant design. As with
the other plant options, the base FlexEfficiency 50 operates at 50 Hz and features
90
an array of GE Energysupplied equipment optimized for efficiency and rapid

response, particularly suited for a grid
with intermittent renewable generation.
Unlike the other offerings, the FlexEfficiency 50 was designed from the ground
up with high ramp rates to meet fluctuating demand and the ability to be turned
down to low part loads while maintaining
emissions (Figure 1).

Optimized Designs
In the past, integrated plant designs meant
assembling a plant constrained by that
companys standard list of products, adding
supervisory controls, and taking the product to market. GE Energy did use familiar
components, although each was optimized
to meet the overall plants operation and
efficiency goals discussed above. Lets explore the equipment selected for the FlexEfficiency 50 plant design.
Combustion Turbine. The FlexEfficiency 50 is based on the venerable 9FB
(version .05) combustion turbine (CT).
This CT version includes a speed-scaled
version of the 7FA CT with field-replaceable compressor blades, an evolutionary
step from GEs aircraft engine lineage.
The engine uses the familiar dry lowNOx 2.6+ combustion system, but with a
couple of changes. This version includes
removal of the diffusion passage in each
outer nozzle and the addition of a fuel passage upstream of the swizzles, according
to GE Energy. A swizzle is the combination of a nozzle and a swirler. These combustion modifications further reduce NOx
emissions at baseload while allowing the
CT to maintain CO when the CT is at minimum load.
The power turbine is a four-stage design, evolving from the earlier H System
designs with new materials but without
steam or hybrid cooling. In sum, GE Energy expects the new design to significantly extend major inspection intervals
92
and increase rotor life by 50%. The cold

end of the CT directly connects to one side
of the generator in the FlexEfficiency 50
single-driveline configuration, and the CT

axial exhaust connects to the heat recovery
steam generator (HRSG).
2. Fast company. Full-load operation of the FlexEfficiency 50 combined cycle plant is pos-
sible in as little as 30 minutes. A variety of other starting options are available to the plant operator, depending on the needs of the grid. The start button was pushed at time zero on this chart.

HRSG manufacturers have spent the past

decade upgrading designs to handle the

older HRSG designs, unplanned cycling

regions of the HRSGsuch as steam
drum penetrations, reheat steam pipes, and
downcomersreducing component life.
The FlexEfficiency design has addressed
these life-limiting HRSG issues based on
detailed transient analysis simulations and
long industry experience. For example, additional, smaller drum penetrations reduce
the magnitude of the stresses experienced

Some regulating plants are added to the

grid in blocks of load such that individual turbines or engines do not operate at part load for long periods. Today,
expect regulating plants to spend the
majority of operating hours either ramping up or ramping down in load. These
new operating regimes will surely require
new methodologies for determining best
available control technology, as full-load
emissions are no longer descriptive of the
plants hourly or annual emissions.
NorthWestern Energy grappled with how
to characterize emissions from a plant that
was designed exclusively for regulating
service when building its new Dave Gates
Generating Station (see p. 54). In the end,
the regulating authorities agreed that a simulation of all expected operating scenarios
could be used to arrive at expected emissions that then became the permit limits.
The NorthWestern Energy experience may
be the exemplar for setting future emissions
limits for regulation plants.
GE Energy also recognizes that commonly used operating statistics, such as
availability and reliability, fail to properly express operations of a regulation
plant. GE suggests a new term: FlexEfficiency (FE). The suggested definition
of FE for a regulation plant is profitable
annual MWhrs divided by annual fuel
consumption.
GE suggests that a typical combined
cycle plant, with about 200 starts/year
with a mix of baseload and cycling conditions, will have an FE of about 56%;
the FlexEfficiency 50 is expected to have
about 58.5%. Your mileage may vary.
Will FlexEfficiency catch on in the
industry? I doubt it, for all the obvious
competitive reasons. Instead, how about
using the term regulating efficiency?
Then many other common performance
metrics could be modified by adding the
descriptor regulating, such as regulating availability factor, regulating reliability factor, or regulating load factor.
Useful metrics that describe the operation
of a hybrid combined cycle-concentrated
solar project are difficult to conceive. In
the meantime, metrics for a regulation
plant alone will keep the analysts who
maintain and update the North American
Electric Reliability Corp.s Generating
Availability Data System databases busy
for years.

Can U.S. Geothermal Power Fulfill

Its Potential?
Geothermal power and conventional fossil fuelpowered technologies have
similar power production cycles, and both generation types can be dispatched. Geothermal powers primary advantage is its renewable fuel.
Its primary disadvantage is that its fuel requires large investments over
many years to characterize uncertain sources. Enhanced recovery techniques that use fracking may be the future of this renewable resource.
By Kennedy Maize
nderachiever. Thats what comes to

mind when considering the state of
geothermal power in the United States.
By all accounts, geothermal energy is a very
attractive source of electric power. The heat of
the earth is essentially endless, providing a
sustainable source of energyand power
far into the future. The technology is fairly
well known. The U.S. has produced electricity from the stored energy in our planets crust
since 1960. Furthermore, electricity from geothermal heat, unlike that from the wind or the
sun, is dispatchable, and plants typically have
capacity factors of 80% to 90%.
Today, geothermal power installations in
the U.S. total 3,102 MW, according to the
Geothermal Energy Association (GEA). Production is concentrated in nine states: Nevada,
California, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The largest
single project is also the oldest: The Geysers,

located in the Mayacamas Mountains north
of San Francisco, which began commercially
generating electricity for Pacific Gas & Electric Co. in 1960. Now owned by Calpine, the
15 units at The Geysers have a net generating
capacity of 725 MW, down considerably from
their 2,000-MW peak in the 1980s (Figure 1).
The U.S. has the largest fleet of geothermal power plants in the world, although they
supply only a tiny portion of the nations
electricity. The second-largest geothermal
system is in the Philippines, with total generating capacity of about 1,900 MW, which
provides 27% of that countrys electricity
(Figure 2).
Unrealized Potential

(EPRI) report on geothermal commented,

Over the long term, the potential for geothermal power production can hardly be overstated. The earths crust serves as an insulating
blanket over an otherwise hot planet. At different depths, there is hot rock virtually everywhere, meaning that the thermal resource
is as geographically dispersed as sunshine
and is often available just a few hundred to a
few thousand feet underground.
The geothermal industry has also developed exciting new technologies. It has moved
beyond conventional steam turbines driven
by geysers of superhot water gushing from
the ground, exemplified by The Geysers.
Companies such as U.S. Geothermal and Ormat Technologies employ binary generation
technology developed by the federal government in the 1970s and 1980s. These binary
plants use lower-temperature hot geothermal
water to vaporize an organic liquid with a
boiling point lower than waters. The vapor
produced is then expanded through a turbine
generator to produce electricity, much as in
a conventional steam plant. The condensed

geothermal brine is then reinjected into the
geothermal reservoir. According to U.S.
Geothermal, 12 operating binary geothermal
projects in the western U.S. today generate
184 MW of electricity (Figure 3).
Disastrous Decade
Despite its promise, geothermal power production has barely budged in the U.S. over
the first decade of this century. According
to Energy Information Administration data,
geothermal power production in 2004 was
0.341 quadrillion Btu. In 2008, the figure
was 0.360 quads. By contrast, wind provided 0.142 quads in 2004 and 0.546 quads in
2008. The geothermal industry today shows
little tangible evidence of significant growth.
In 2010, for example, only one new geothermal power plant came online. That was a 15MW plant in Nevadas Jersey Valley, owned
by Ormat.
Recent headlines tell part of the tale. The
New York Times: Short on Cash and KnowHow, U.S. Geothermal Industry Stumbles.
Renewable Energy World: Geothermal
Industry Continues to Struggle for Acceptance.
The Times interviewed John McIlveen, a
Wall Street analyst who follows the five publicly traded geothermal companies. He noted
that all of the public geothermal players have
been clobbered by the market, in part because geothermal development requires large
amounts of capital for risky drilling to prove
resources before they can be turned into
revenue-producers. This is not a good time
for technologies with high upfront costs and
uncertain downstream results.
Getting a new project going, McIlveen
noted, can take five years or more and cost

$3 million to $10 million. But McIlveen also
blamed the decline in the values of the companies stock on the lack of execution on the
part of the geothermal companies. Recent
projects have sometimes come in short of the
original developers claims.
The Renewable Energy World article observed that a lack of private capital echoed
throughout our investigation. The magazine
said, Perhaps this is the price the industry
must pay for having painted overly rosy pictures in years past.
Karl Gawell, executive director of the
GEA, the industrys Washington lobbying
group, rejects the underachiever label as
not fair. He told POWER recently, Expectations were too high to begin with. Geothermal, he noted, grew steadily through the
late 1970s and 1980s, raising hopes of continued growth. But the industry collapsed in
the 1990s, he said, and for 10 years, nothing
happened.
Interest in geothermal picked up again
in 2005, noted Gawell, with passage of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the inclusion
of geothermal in the production tax credit regime. But the next year, Gawell added, the
Bush administration decided to zero us out
of the Department of Energy budget. Then
the economy tanked.
Today, says Gawell, the industry is starting to see the glimmer of resurgence. A GEA
report last April noted, While the economic
downturn of 2008 adversely impacted the
rate of geothermal resource development, the
geothermal industry has maintained steady
growth in the U.S. through 2010 and 2011.
The total number of geothermal projects un-

der development, as well as geothermal prospects reported in 2011 increased 12% over
2010.
Its a slow go, said Gawell, slower than
it should be. In part, he said, thats because
the 10-year black hole of development has
meant the industry has to rebuild its infrastructure and development capacity almost
from scratch. There is a learning curve as
rebuilding takes place, he said.
An example of that learning curve is found
in a shortage of drilling crews with geothermal experience. It isnt a rig availability problem, but the experience of the crews running
the rigs. Geothermal drilling isnt the same
as drilling for oil and gas. The holes needed
to prove the resource are wider in diameter.
Also, geothermal drilling involves higher
temperatures and caustic steam. What Im
told, said Gawell, is that the experience of
the crews is important. If a crew has drilled
for a number of projects, they get better results. We have not been drilling enough holes
in recent years.
Another problem, said Gawell, is misapplied incentives in federal renewable energy tax law. While the geothermal industry
fought hard to get included in production tax
credits that have aided wind and solar development since the Energy Policy Act of 1992,
those tax credits dont kick in until the project is actually making electricity. Its great
to have the incentives, said Gawell, but the
big risk in obtaining the money is in the reservoir work. That occurs well before energy
production starts.
Industry Rebirth
A number of projects are moving forward today, and some 700 MW are in the final phases of development, according to the GEAs
2011 Annual U.S. Geothermal Power Production and Development Report. Many of
those projects are pushing to beat the 2013
deadline. New geothermal projects have to
be in service by Dec. 31, 2013, to qualify for
the production tax credits. Whether Congress
will approve further extensions is uncertain,
but some Washington observers say the prospects are doubtful given the current concern
over federal deficits.
Legislation is moving in Congress to make
it easier to finance geothermal projects at the
front end. The House Natural Resources
Committee has approved a bill that streamlines permitting for geothermal exploration
on federal lands. In the Senate, the Energy
and Natural Resources Committee has approved a bill, pushed by Alaska Republican
Senator Lisa Murkowski, that would create
a revolving loan fund for drilling exploration wells. Separately, Sen. Ron Wyden, an
Oregon Democrat, has introduced legislation

some solar photovoltaic module manufacturers in 2011also militates against new

renewable energy loan programs. Orthodox
Republican doctrine challenges the ability of
the government to pick economic winners
and losers, preferring markets to bear the
fruits or pains of investment decisions.
Whatever happens in the short run in Washington, geothermal continues to offer the
prospects of a large, indigenous future source
of power. A 2007 Massachusetts Institute of
Technology study, The Future of Geothermal Energy, found that enhanced geothermal
systems, exploiting different approaches than
the conventional projects most people think
of as geothermal today, could provide 100
GW or more of cost-competitive generating
capacity in the next 50 years.
Current technology uses either natural
steam or hot water from underground reservoirs to make electricity. New technologies
would capture the energy of hot, but dry,
rocksa resource far more widely distributed
than geysers or hot springs. Hot, dry rocks are
the foundation of the enhanced systems that
technologists see as having such great potential. Research is focusing on the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, technology
(which is revolutionizing natural gas production) to make these hot rocks more permeable
and better able to yield their heat (Figure 4).
Will the optimistic vision of power from
hot rocks come to pass? Travis Coleman,
who leads EPRIs geothermal energy work,
says, Enhanced geothermal systems are
a big part of the future. The technology is
conceptually very simple, but how you apply it in different rock formations is incredibly complex.
Geothermal is only one of many competing energy technologies that developers can
choose to power the future. As the MIT panel
observed, Geothermal energy provides a robust, long-lasting option with attributes that
would complement other important contributions from clean coal, nuclear, solar, wind,
hydropower, and biomass. One can now add
natural gas to that list.
But future decisions about technology developments in the U.S. will be driven largely
by the private sector, even if the federal governments awkward thumb is on the scales to
some degree. Those decisions will involve
tricky and risky choices involving cost, performance, timing, and social values. Will
geothermal be able to compete in that complex environment? That question is far from
answered.

Hendrix Wire & Cable, a provider of overhead and

its Spacer Cable Systems, a green solution for
overhead distribution circuits. Because Spacer Cable
is more compact and can withstand temporary contact
with branches without causing outages, Hendrix
Spacer Cable Systems can help reduce the amount of
vegetation that must be removed when clearing rightof-way for distribution circuits. Reducing right-of-way
clearance by 20 feet can result in up to 6.5 tons of
carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere
every year per mile, the company claims.
Unlike bare wire, which is spread over an 8-foot
cross arm, a Spacer Cable circuit is confined to less
than 1 foot. This reduces trimming requirements
and allows multiple circuits to be placed on a single
pole, or even the same side of a single pole. The
result can often lead to new circuits being added to
existing poles without additional vegetation removal.

COMMENTARY
Wind Energy: Dealing with

Intermittency Challenges
By Becky H. Diffen
he wind power industry has exploded over the past

decade. In the U.S. alone, almost 40,000 MW of wind
power have come online since 2000. As more wind generation has been added, grid operators have been challenged
to integrate a large amount of intermittent generation. As
the state with by far the most installed wind power capacity,
Texas has had to face this problem head on.
Critical advances in technology have led to new ways of
balancing wind power. For example, new advances in turbine
technology have allowed wind developers to build projects
in more diverse areas, which in turn has diversified generation patterns. In addition, the rapid advancement of storage
technologies has led to pilot projects being installed in conjunction with wind farms to demonstrate the benefits storage
can bring to the electrical grid.
Diverse Resources
In Texas, most of the installed wind power is in West Texas
and the Panhandle. Wind speeds in those areas are consistently higher at night, which is when demand for electricity
is lowest. In the past few years, several new onshore wind
farms have been built along the Texas Gulf Coast. The wind
resource in this area is quite different: The wind blows the
most in the afternoon, resulting in the highest amounts of
generation when peak load occurs.
We have seen a significant increase in coastal wind projects for several reasons. First, transmission congestion issues
in West Texas led developers to look for areas with more
transmission capacity. More importantly, turbine manufacturers began building turbines suitable for areas with lower
wind resources, such as the Texas coast. These new turbines
provide higher capacity factors than were originally available, and they have made coastal projects more economic.
The wind industry has long argued that geographic diversity of wind energy helps to even out variability. This is true
within one wind project, where the turbines are spread out
over many miles, but even more so when projects are spread
over several counties. Spreading out turbines also helps in
another way. As a weather event rolls in, it may affect some
turbines long before it moves across all of the turbines; this
arrangement allows grid operators time to ramp up or ramp
down other generation, as necessary. The best case scenario,
now being seen in Texas, occurs when projects are spread out
into areas where the wind tends to blow at different times
of the day.
Utilities can also help balance their portfolios by mixing
renewable technologies. Like coastal wind, solar projects
generate during the day. Thus, combining solar and wind resources can help balance generation.

Storage Facilities
Advances in storage technologies also provide new tools for
grid operators. For example, Duke Energy recently announced
a pilot project with Xtreme Power to install a 36-MW battery
at one of Dukes existing Texas wind farms. Chamisa Energy
has announced plans for a 135-MW compressed air energy
storage project to be located in the Texas Panhandle. Chamisa plans to buy electricity generated by wind to charge the
project and have the ability to interconnect with either the
Electric Reliabilty Council of Texas or the Southwest Power
Pool. Other technologies, such as flywheels and a variety of
battery-type technologies, are also being developed.
Pumped storage hydro, which has been used since the
1970s and 80s to work in conjunction with nuclear plants, is
another possibility. Traditional hydro can also be useful, as
demonstrated by the New York Independent System Operator, which has partnered with Hydro Quebec to use the latters hydro storage capacity to help balance wind farms being
built in New York.
To be clear, I am not advocating that every wind farm
should have a storage system. The U.S. has successfully added tens of thousands of megawatts of wind power without
using storage. Similarly, many European countries generate
20% to 30% of their power from wind. What large-scale storage projects do is add flexibility. They also help to even out
variability from all generators, not just renewables. A storage
project can be called on when a gas plant goes down unexpectedly just as easily as when the wind stops blowing.
What I find most interesting about energy storage projects being developed in conjunction with wind projects is
their multiple uses. I assumed the main purpose of a storage
facility would be to store electricity when the wind farm
is generating and then have that electricity available to be
dispatched whenever needed, but storage projects being developed and constructed now will be used for much more.
They can provide ancillary services that are critical for grid
operators to maintain grid reliability and can earn valuable
revenue for the storage owner.
As energy demand in the U.S. continues to increase, the
need for new generation is great. The shortage cannot be
solved by any one technology; instead, the U.S. needs both
traditional and renewable power generation. Strategies such
as geographic diversity and storage can help make wind power an even more valuable resource, as they lessen potential
intermittency and other grid reliability issues while bringing
valuable new capabilities to the grid that benefit all types
of generation.
