No more wind curtailment on Bonaire
31 July, 2019
Wärtsilä has commissioned a 6 MW/6 MWh energy management and storage system for ContourGlobal on the Caribbean island of Bonaire. With phase one complete, the island no longer has to curtail wind resources. It has allowed renewable energy penetration to be nearly doubled, as well as preparing the island for additional capacity to accommodate peak demand during the tourist season. ContourGlobal’s island grid is operated using the GEMS advanced software platform, provided by Greensmith, a Wärtsilä company.

Mega project goes underground in Utah
30 July, 2019
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) and Magnum Development, have launched a major storage project in central Utah, United States, making use of the region’s salt dome geology in combination with MHPS power generation technology, notably hydrogen fuelled gas turbines.

Advanced radar level measurement helps to lower heat rate and reduce costs
18 July, 2019
Guided wave radar transmitters with dynamic vapour compensation functionality are able to provide accurate and reliable level measurements in challenging high-pressure saturated steam applications. The ability to carry out such measurements plays a vital role in helping reduce a plant’s heat rate, contributing to increased profitability. By Denny Nelson, Emerson Automation Solutions

MAN ETES: a cool technology that’s heating up sector coupling
16 July, 2019
MAN ETES (Electro-Thermal Energy Storage) – based on a closed CO2 cycle – offers considerably more than large- scale electricity storage. It also promises an economic approach to what has become known as ‘sector coupling’, ie decarbonisation of heating/cooling, etc, as well as electricity. By Raymond C. Decorvet and Mario Restelli MAN ETES Business Development, MAN Energy Solutions Switzerland Ltd

Siemens and TÜV SÜD have come together to address the growing risk of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure by collaborating to provide digital safety and security assessments, as well as industrial vulnerability assessments to help global energy players identify asset risk and cybersecurity solutions.

Achieving energy net zero at the Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant
12 June, 2019
Following a decision to accept fat, oils and grease from local restaurants, resulting in a boost in biogas production, the City of Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was able to install a second Cat genset. This, in combination with a solar array, enabled the facility to generate more power than it consumes. Achieving and maintaining this energy net zero status over several years has only been possible because of the high uptime of the gensets.
