PRODUCERS
Since providing two 3000kW steam turbine driven generators to the Midland
Electricity Corporation in 1912, and heralding the birth of municipal power
generation, BRUSH has become a major supplier to utilities and independent
power producers all over the world.

From the USA to New Zealand, BRUSH gas turbine and steam turbine driven
DAX 2-pole and DG 4-pole turbogenerators are being operated on base load
and peak load duty and also as synchronous compensators.

Medium range air-cooled generators are ideal for embedded generation, where
power stations, usually gas turbine based, are built close to the load centres
that they will serve. Typical of this are Seminole Electric Power Cooperative’s,
Payne Creek Generating Station, in Hardee County, Florida. Also, North
Carolina Electric Membership Corporation’s Hamlet Power Station, Richmond
County, and Lilesville Power Station, Anson County, also in North Carolina,
USA. All three power stations are based on multiple 60MW gas turbines, each
driving a BRUSH air-cooled generator.

For large scale thermal and nuclear power generation, BRUSH has supplied
hundreds of high output 2-pole turbogenerators using hydrogen and combined
hydrogen-water cooling systems. These generators are designed to be driven
by gas and steam turbines, the design and characteristics being the result of an
in-depth knowledge, gained from BRUSH’s extensive experience, and the latest
design techniques, backed by modern manufacturing methods and plant. Above
300MVA, the advantages of hydrogen and combined cooled generators are:
nR  educed weight of components
nM  ore economical operation, in particular under partial load conditions
n Improved efficiency as a result of significantly reduced ventilation losses
nE  xtended insulation life.

Combined cooled machines are available up to 1100MVA.

 COMBINED CYCLE
GAS TURBINE POWER
GENERATION
In December 1991, BRUSH supplied a 2-pole turbogenerator for incorporation
into the world’s first General Electric LM6000 gas turbine generation package;
this was followed by a further two units in early 1992. As a result of the
overwhelming success of these early units, BRUSH has subsequently built over
600 generators for LM6000 gas turbine drive.

The Godovari Gas Power Project, at Kakinada, India, was built by consortium
partners Rolls-Royce/Parsons and Westinghouse Power Generation. It was
the first independent power project in India to enter commercial operation. The
installation comprises of three Siemens Westinghouse gas turbines, driving
BRUSH 2-pole generators, operating in combined cycle with a 72MW steam
turbine.

The selection of BRUSH generators for these prestigious installations is not

surprising. Since positioning itself as a major supplier to the gas turbine industry
in the 1960s, the company has achieved a leading position in the power
generation market, as a supplier of both equipment and project engineering
expertise.

BRUSH 2-pole and 4-pole turbogenerators are designed for both steam
turbine and gas turbine drive, but the extent of the company’s experience is
best demonstrated by reference to the gas turbine market. BRUSH has more
experience of the use of gas turbines in power generation than any other
generator manufacturer in the world. The continued success in the field of gas
turbine generation can be attributed to BRUSH’s ability to meet the demanding
interface requirements of the turbine manufacturers, coupled with competitive
prices and keen deliveries.

 PROCESS INDUSTRIES

BRUSH have supplied three 4-pole generators to Thomassen International for

the Egyptian oil company Bapetco. Each unit was coupled to a General Electric
Frame 5 gas turbine rated at 20MW. As the generators are open air cooled
and located outside in a desert environment, special attention had to be paid to
the cooling air intake. A self-cleaning ‘pulse clean’ filter removes airborne sand
particles and allows the generators to operate for extended periods between
filter element changes.

On the other side of the world, Chevron, America’s largest producer of

California reformulated gasoline has depended on BRUSH power since
1986, when two General Electric Frame 6 gas turbines, driving BRUSH
2-pole generators, were installed at the El Segundo Refinery in Los Angeles,
California, USA. The power generation capability of the refinery was extended
from 100MVA to 165MVA due to high demand with the addition of a further
Frame 6 gas turbine and a 10.5MW General Electric steam turbine.

Many industrial processes involve exothermic reactions, from which the heat
produced can be harnessed to produce electricity. One such installation is at
Norsk Hydro’s fertiliser plant at Immingham in the UK, where BRUSH provided
two steam turbine driven generators, rated at 11MW and 6.5MW, as part of
a combined heat and power scheme designed to protect essential supplies
to the manufacturing process. To keep within the limitations of the existing
distribution system, the generators were designed to have a total combined fault
contribution of only 90MVA.

 COMBINED HEAT AND
POWER/COGENERATION

A Combined Heat & Power (CHP) scheme offers a highly efficient method for
the production of both electrical and thermal energy from a single fuel source,
with relatively low installation and operating costs. Electrical power is produced
by a generator driven by a gas turbine or reciprocating engine, with the prime
mover exhaust heat being recovered as steam for a variety of uses, from
process heat to district heating for a whole community.

The USA, the world leader in cogeneration, has hundreds of BRUSH

generators operating in CHP schemes. Typical of these is the Downtown
Government Centre, Dade County, Florida. A Rolls Royce SK30 gas turbine
and a Peter Brotherhood steam turbine, installed in 1985, are both driving
BRUSH generators producing 35MVA of electrical power. The plant also
produces chilled water for air conditioning and 300 gallons per minute of hot
water at an overall thermal efficiency in excess of 75%.

EPC Abener installed new generation equipment for a bioethanol galicia

cogeneration plant in La Coruna, Spain, for which Rolls Royce Power
Engineering supplied an RB211-6562 turbine driving a BRUSH 4-pole
turbogenerator. The La Coruna plant produces 126,000m3 per day of
bioethanol, a fuel obtained by processing and distilling fermented biomass. The
bioethanol is used as an additive to petrol and diesel oil for use in combustion
engines, where it offers the advantages of increased output and improved
efficiency. As a renewable energy source, bioethanol contributes to the
environment by reducing the use of fossil fuel.

District heating schemes have been in operation in Denmark for over 80

years, to the extent that over 300,000 households in the greater Copenhagen
area now have their heating needs supplied through one of two transmission
systems linked to power stations and incineration plants. One of the major
contributors of steam for district heating is Energi E2’s Amager Power Station
in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen. As part of an upgrade to the
power station an 100MVA BRUSH generator, driven by a steam turbine was
installed.

 GEOTHERMAL

In the last 10 years, BRUSH has supplied over 40% of 13MVA+ generators
to the global geothermal market. For geothermal power applications, a mixture
of gases, notably Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Methane
(CH4) and Ammonia (NH3) can be found in the surrounding environment.
In sufficient quantity, these hazardous gases can cause standard generator
technology to deteriorate through corrosion and become unreliable. Some
geothermal processes can themselves introduce a potentially hazardous
atmosphere. Using technology and features proven in the most arduous
environments, on and off-shore for over 30 years, BRUSH has the knowledge
and expertise to provide generators that ensure a continuous and dependable
plant output.

For geothermal applications worldwide, BRUSH can provide:
