SPEAKING OF POWER

Engaging Youth
in Power
he challenge of getting a new generation of workers interested in the
power sector is one I hear about frequently. Too many young adults are more
fascinated by the tech sector, plant folks
say. That may be true, but I dont blame
ambitious youth for being attracted to
fields that are pushing frontiers. However, I do empathize with the traditional
power industry, struggling to attract wellqualified staff. I keep looking for brilliant
new strategies to share with readers, but I
keep hearing the same old ideas.

Old Tactics Are, Well, Old


When it comes to training for the power
industry, there are both traditional and
nontraditional (especially online) options.
But first, potential employees need to be
interested in exploring them. Parents and
counselors may encourage a career in power or the related trades by making the argument that these careers can be financially
rewarding. Another familiar approach that
POWER has covered frequently is recruiting
from the ranks of former military service
men and women. These tactics are important, but the continued comments about
workforce concerns indicate that they may
no longer be sufficient.
Seeing Is Believing
Even if they ignore the lure of tech company stock options, Millennials interested in
engineering fields may pass on older forms
of generation in favor of newer technologies. Aside from the inherent appeal that
renewable energy has for many entering the
workforce, renewables are more accessible
than fossil and nuclear plants. From wind
and solar plants visible from roads across
the country, to solar demonstration projects
at local fairs, to rooftop solar panels, anyone with the slightest interest in renewable
power can get close to the actual generating
technology. The same isnt true for thermal
plants, even though some fossil plants do
host tours for students. One way around
this problem might be to make conventional
generation accessible virtually.
From Comics to Apps
When nuclear power was new, it generated a plethora of pop culture expressions,
6

including comic books like the 1948 one


shown here, published by General Electric
and included in Albuquerques National
Museum of Nuclear Science & History. The
display explains, This comic book tells the
reader about the potential benefits of nuclear power. Two observations about this
bit of history: First, nuclear power became
part of popular culture not just because it
promised that nuclear energys destructive
force could be redirected to peaceful ends
but also because it was startlingly new.
Second, information about nuclear power
was woven into accessible daily experienceslike reading a comic book.
I dont have any evidence of this, but
I doubt there were comic books celebrating coal-fired power generation, even
in 1948. There is, however, a currently
available board game for ages 12 and up
called Power Grid that purports to teach
players about the industry: The object of
the game is to supply the most cities with
power. Players acquire fuel and manage
plant upgrades. This is not an endorsement
of the game (which I havent purchased or
playedhat tip to Associate Editor Sonal
Patel for bringing it to my attention), and
the boxs seriously dated image of a guy
in a lab coat at an analog control panel
doesnt exactly send the message that
power generation is cool.
Nevertheless, the idea of gaming holds
promise, even though I havent been able
to find a 21st century video gaming version of this concept that includes all fuels
and isnt sponsored by a vendor or lobbying group. (Startup idea!) Like a Tesla
car, the cloud-based video game could update wirelessly every time a player starts
a session, adjusting technology options,
fuel costs, and operating constraints. The
closest to a power system video game Ive
heard of is ConEds mobile app Heroes,
with a story called Gassed, designed to
teach all ages about gas safety. ConEd
promoted its partnership with DC Comics
in developing the app this fall.

Time to Turn a Corner


I visited Californias Bodie State Historic
Park (which I do endorse) on vacation this
summer. This massive ghost town offers
a glimpse (literally) into the homes and
www.powermag.com

businesses that were left behind when


gold mining dried up at the site. Today,
the park is enormously popular with visitors of all ages from around the world.
(See the online version of this column at
powermag.com for photos of the power infrastructure.) Bodie was a progressive operation for its time and by 1892 included
a substation for hydropower that was generated 13 miles away. The visitors guide
erroneously claims that the original poles
and lines were installed in a straight line
as it was feared the electricity would not
be able to turn corners. (The real reason,
of course, was that the shortest distance,
and least voltage loss, was along a mostly
straight path.)
What myths about building a workforce
does the power industry still subscribe to?
What corners hasnt it turned? Many of
the most in-demand job titles didnt exist even five years ago, which means the
competition has changed.
Can you imagine a company developing a 20- or (more likely) 10-year career
path for job candidates that would start
at a fossil plant but plot a course toward
future positions in renewables or carbon
capture or electric vehicles or robotics?
Yes, such approaches would take generators out of their comfort zone, but is that
scarier than the future theyre already facing? Share your companys best practices
or promising ideas in the online comments
below this column at powermag.com.

Ethiopia Begins
Generating Power from
1.87-GW Gibe III Hydro
Plant
Ethiopias generation capacity got an immense boost as operations began at the
1.87-GW Gibe III hydroelectric power
plant in the middle reach of the Omo River
basin this October. The plantEthiopias
largestis the third in the Gibe-Omo hydroelectric cascade, which includes the
184-MW Gilgel Gibe and 420-MW Gibe II,
both upstream of Gibe III. Two additional
plants downstream, Gibe IV and Gibe V,
are planned by state-owned utility Ethiopian Electric Power Corp.
According to Salini Impregilo, an Italian firm contracted to build the $1.6
billion project, the plant comprises a 249meter (m)-tall roller-compacted concrete
(RCC) damone of the highest in the
worldand an open-air power plant with
10 Francis turbines. It is expected to produce 6,500 GWh per year (Figure 1).
Salini Impregilo designed and built the
plant and the gravity dam, along with a
surface spillway. It also carved out three
diversion tunnels, two twin pumping tunnels, two intake structures, two horizontal tunnels, four vertical wells, and two
distributors. Consulting engineering firm
Studio Pietrangeli performed the feasibili-

ty study, designed the plant, and provided


technical supervision during construction.
Construction began in July 2006. For
Salini Impregilo, many of the challenges
in building the dam came from logistical
hurdles, specifically because the site
about 450 km southwest of Ethiopias
capital, Addis Ababais so remote. Access to it required building an airport, a
120-m span bridge, 75 km of new national
roads, and 40 km of project site roads. The
firm then needed to provide workers with
housing, sanitation, health, and recreation facilities.
Then, when crews began foundation
excavation, they encountered hot springs
that required interception. Later, crews
discovered that locally sourced Ethiopian
cements were unsuitable because of variability in quality and intermittent supply,
leading the government to step in to open
up the importation of special high-quality
cement. And because the RCC dam is one
of the highest in the world and the site did
not offer ideal conditions for the project,
special design solutions were required.
Despite those geological issues as well as
complex financial problems, the plant was
completed within nine years.
With a rainy season that lasts three
to four months, mountainous Ethiopia is
etched with large river gorges that have an

The remoteness of the site, the narrow gorge where the dam is located, the height of the dam,
and challenges in sourcing reliable materials required unprecedented solutions to get the plant

overall hydroelectric potential estimated


at around 160 TWh/year. This country with
a population of 94.1 million and a booming economy has ambitious plans under its
Growth and Transformation Plan to become
a regional renewable energy hub in powerstrapped East Africa. The Gibe III project
added much-needed capacity to the countrys total installed 2.3-GW base.
By 2037, Ethiopia aspires to have a total
capacity of 37 GW (a 1,500% increase) and
become a major power exporter. Acknowledging that the feat will require massive
investments, the government is committed
to increasing private sector participation
to expand its grid and to reform tariffs to
allow for full-cost recovery.

Revolutionary Grid
Connection for Offshore
Wind Turbines Unveiled
Siemens, the only provider of direct-current (DC) offshore wind connection projects, in October unveiled a potentially
game-changing technology that it says
enables cheaper and simpler grid connection of wind turbines miles off the coast.
The DC technology presented at the
National Maritime Conference in Bremerhaven, Germany, consists of a platform
housing the transmission equipment that is
80% more compact than the conventional
large central converter platforms used to
convert DC into alternating current (AC)
for transmission and distribution. The new
compact design neatly holds diode rectifier
units (DRUs)replacing conventionally
used air-insulated transistor modulesthe
transformer, the smoothing reactor, and the
rectifier in one tank.
If a number of smaller platforms can
be built, a DC cable can connect several
of them sequentially in a wind farm and
then route them to an onshore transformer
substation, the company explained. Typically, two DRUs (each with a transmission
capacity of 200 MW) are installed on one
platform. Up to three of these new platforms can be connected to each other to
create an offshore grid node that replaces
collection platforms in the wind farms
essentially creating a link that can connect
up to 1.2 GW of offshore wind capacity to
the mainland (Figure 2).
And that could result in cost savings
and more efficiency compared to conventional platforms: The volume of the plat-

2. Smaller is cheaper. A new technology unveiled by Siemens


to cut costs and simplify grid connection of wind turbines installed
far offshore involves reducing the size of transmission technology,
enabling much smaller platforms to be built. The company says the
volume of the platform structures is reduced by 85% and the weight
by 65%. Meanwhile, transmission capacity is increased by 30% and
transmission losses fall by 20%. Courtesy: Siemens

form structures is reduced by four-fifths, and the weight is cut by


two-thirds. As a result, costs are reduced by more than 30%. At
the same time, the new solution enables transmission capacity
to be increased by one-third, while transmission losses fall by
one-fifth, Siemens said.
Siemens has commissioned 13 offshore grid connections to
date, four of which have been DC connection projects. It says the
use of DC instead of AC transmission to connect wind farms to
the grid is made cost-effective by high-voltage DC transmission
technology, which can be used for cable lengths of more than 80
km. The new solution also provides for a 20% shortened installation time, it said.
Sonal Patel, associate editor

3. The setting. After 33 years of operation, E.ONs 1.3-GW Grafenrheinfeld plant in Bavaria ramped down one final time on June 27.
Grafenrheinfeld is particularly well known in Germany as the setting of
a famous novel, Die Wolke, about a nuclear meltdown similar to that at
Chernobyl. The novel was written after the Chernobyl accident and has
become standard reading in German schools. Courtesy: E.ON

Germany are estimated by the companies at 857 million ($939


million) per reactor compared to between 205 million ($224
million) and 542 million ($594 million) in other countries. If
nuclear plants are dismantled in an efficient manner, overall
costs could be slashed by about 6 billion ($6.5 billion), the
auditors also said.
We do not consider the scenarios requiring the highest provisions to be likely to materialise, as they are based on the assumption of major losses being incurred by the companies over a
long period of time, Minister Sigmar Gabriel said. Gabriel noted

In the wake of the Fukushima disaster, Germany decreed the
phase-out of all its nuclear capacity by December 2022. It shuttered eight reactors in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese
earthquake and tsunami, and this June it closed the Grafenrheinfeld plant (Figure 3). Eight reactors remain open.
The government-commissioned study, prepared by auditing

The Potentials and Pitfalls


of Battery Storage
Battery storage firms and energy storage
experts at the Energy Storage North America (ESNA) conference in San Diego Oct.
1315 were effusive in their praise of battery storages potential while acknowledging that a lot of work remains to be done.
Pratima Rangarajan, general manager of
product and engineering for General Electrics (GEs) new storage business Current,
noted that energy storage is now competitive on price with the lowest 20% of
combustion turbines, and that number is
growing. Rangarajan said GE wants to pair
gas turbines and storage, along with wind
and solar, to create a firmer, more reliable
grid. But former Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission Chairman Jon Wellinghoff was


less enthusiastic about that idea. [Batteries are] actually providing a service to
the grid thats more efficient and valuable
than peaker plants, he said.
New battery products are coming on the
market almost by the month. Vionx Energy of
Woburn, Mass., employs a vanadium redox-

flow battery technology developed by United


Technologies Corp. that uses an enhanced
flow design to increase power density. Dave
Vieau, president and CEO of Vionx, said the
company has several megawatts of capacity
in its pipeline, with the first deployment at
a U.S. Army post in Massachusetts coming
online earlier this year.

The sweet spot for this technology


from a price standpoint is 6 to 10 hours of
runtime, he said. You can make one that
will run one hour, and you can make one
that will run 24 hours, but the middle
range is where the primary market is likely
to be. Vieau said one advantage of flow
batteries is the long lifetimea system
can operate reliably without significant
power loss for 20 years.
With so many companies developing
flow batteries, differentiation is becoming
an issue. Portland, Ore.based Energy Storage Systems (ESS) believes its advantage
is in its low-cost, non-toxic, iron-based
electrolyte. The company recently closed
$3.2 million in financing that will help
enhance its production capacity. ESS Vice
President of Business Development Bill
Sprouli told POWER its first deployment, as
part of a microgrid in Northern California,
would be coming online in early November. ESS is focusing on longer-duration applications, he said.
Lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries are seeing
technological improvements as well. Ojai,
Calif.-based Simpliphi Power has introduced
a li-ion battery that does away with two of
the biggest challenges confronting the technology: its environmental impact and its risk
of thermal runawaya phenomenon that
results when a failing li-ion battery cell generates enough heat to cause other nearby
cells to fail and thereby generate more heat
in a rapidly expanding cycle. Batteries that
suffer thermal runaway can generate intense
heat and even start fires.
Simpliphi CEO Catherine Von Burg explained to POWER that its batteries use
a lithium-ferro-phosphate chemistry that
offers the same performance as more conventional li-ion batteries, but without the
use of cobalt. The company uses a proprietary battery architecture and management system that delivers 98% efficiency
yet prevents thermal runaway. Simpliphis
batteries are also expected to last substantially longer than conventional li-ion
batteries, around 15 to 20 years, Von Burg
said (Figure 4).
Finally, the humble lead-acid battery may
be poised for a comeback thanks to new
technologies that have addressed its traditional disadvantages of poor performance at
a partial state of charge (PSOC). Advanced
lead-acid battery company Ecoult said its
hybrid battery/ultracapacitor design can
maintain 90% to 95% efficiency at a PSOC
at a lower cost than li-ion batteries.
Going forward, University of California,
San Diego Associate Professor of Nanoengineering Shirley Meng told POWER that
flow batteries and sodium-ion batteries are

likely to be strong future competitors on a


cost-per-kilowatt-hour basis. Meng noted
that because grid-scale battery applications
normally have little in the way of space constraints, the larger footprint of these technologies compared to li-ion is not as much
of a consideration as it would be in residential and commercial applications.
Still, li-ion technology has a lot of
potential left to exploit. Meng said shes
confident that increases of at least 20% to
30% in energy density are feasible for the
next generation of li-ion batteries. The
energy density for lithium-ion batteries at
the molecular level we can at least double, she said.

Biomass-Fed Organic
Rankine Cycle Units Make
It Big
One of the worlds largest biomass-fed organic rankine cycle (ORC) plants is getting
ready to begin operations. Italian firm
Turboden is preparing to put online an
8-MW power unit in Athens, Maine, that
will help Maine Woods Pellet Co. power a
pellet production facility. The project is
expected to start up by March 2016.

According to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries


(MHI), which has put 255 similar plants
online in 32 countries, ORC is a technology
for the combined generation of heat and
electric power (CHP) from various renewable sources. Because it offers solutions in
the range of 300 kW to 15 MW, it is particularly suitable for distributed generation. It
can use a range of biomass fuels, including
wood, dried sewage sludge, green cuttings,
and other organic waste material.
Turboden, which was in 2009 acquired
by UTC Pratt & Whitney Power Systemsa
company that was, in turn, acquired by MHI
in 2013says that ORC offers significant
advantages over steam turbines. One of
the key points in the success of ORC technology is the capability to adapt to load
variation easily and quickly. ORC units also
show smaller enthalpy drops compared to
traditional steam rankine cycle units, they
do not need to superheat, and there is no
risk of blade erosion. Operation and maintenance costs, too, are lower because ORC
units use a non-oxidizing working fluid and
are completely automatic.
The Maine ORC system uses wood residues from debarking and chipping activities. The turbogenerator uses the heat
carrierin this case, thermal oilto

preheat and vaporize a suitable organic


working fluid in the evaporator. The fluid
vapor powers the turbine, which is directly
coupled to the electric generator through
an elastic coupling. The exhaust vapor
flows through the regenerator, where it
heats the organic liquid. The vapor is then
condensed in the condenser. The organic
fluid liquid is finally pumped to the regenerator and then to the evaporator, thus
completing the sequence of operations in
the closed-loop circuit.
About 245.8 MW of Turbodens installed
base uses wood biomass. The bulk of Turbodens CHP ORC plants were installed between 2005 and 2010 in Europe, mostly in
Germany, followed by Italy, Austria, Latvia,
and Spain. However, the company is also
exploring the North American market, which
it says has huge biomass potential and long
experience with thermal oil systems.
In January 2015, two 2 x 13-MW biomass
plants began operating commercially at
wood products company West Frasers Fraser
Lake and Chetwynd sawmills in British Columbia (Figure 5). Those projects convey the
heat of flue gas from biomass combustion in
a closed-loop system to the ORC unit, which
converts thermal energy into power. Waste
heat is then released into the environment
using evaporative cooling towers.

plans to build a 1 billion ($1.54 billion)


tidal energy lagoon in Swansea Bay, South
Wales, have been delayed for a year, pending ongoing talks over how much government funding the project will receive. The
320-MW project, which could be the first
of its type in the world when operational,
would require building a breakwater to
cordon off 4.4 square miles in Swansea
Bay. The five-mile sea wall would be up to
20 meters high, though only half would be
visible from land at low tide. Ultimately, it
would funnel enough water to fill 100,000
Olympic swimming pools through dual-direction turbines at both high and low tide,
generating an estimated 420 GWh annually. Developer Tidal Lagoon Swansea
Bay garnered the Department of Climate

project this June and had hoped to begin
building the lagoon next spring. However,
that schedule was pegged on achieving financial close by the end of 2015, but the

Optimize Boiler Combustion Using Improved Flue


Gas Measurement
The presence of unburned fuel in a
power plants ash indicates an inefficient combustion process, as some of
the energy in the fuel is being wasted. Unburned fuel also poses a risk to
safety; if ignited, an explosion could
occur, with potentially disastrous consequences. Therefore, it is important
for plant operators to optimize the furnace combustion process to the greatest extent possible.
One common problem found during optimization is insufficient combustion air
in the furnace. Maintaining the correct
level of excess air for combustion can be
complicated by variations in the fuel and
the airsuch as atmospheric pressure, humidity, and changes in the heating value
of the fueland the performance of the
boiler itself.
Optimization Challenges
Most large utility boilers use oxygen analyzers installed at the boiler economizer
exit gas ducts to monitor and make adjustments to excess air. Over time, many
boilers develop significant air in-leakage
between the furnace exit and the oxygen
analyzers. Any air that seeps into the furnace post-combustion does not take part
in combustion, yet it registers on the oxygen analyzers as excess oxygen.
As a result, the operator could modify
the air-fuel ratio incorrectly based on the
assumption that the total excess oxygen
measured was involved in the combustion
process. This improper adjustment would
lead to increased fuel usage and higher
concentrations of unburned fuel outside of
the desired boiler combustion zone, which
could pose a safety hazard.
CO events (areas of poor combustion)
are most often localized and occur in
pockets throughout the boiler. The best
way to identify the cause of these pockets
is by developing a spatial grid across the
unit (Figure 1).
The furnace produces discrete process
zones of flue gas created by the stream
pattern. A combustion stream remains intact and separate from other combustion
streams as a result of being compressed
by the walls of the furnace and by adjacent combustion streams. Some diffusion
(mixing) between streams may occur in
18

patterns inside a boiler. Courtesy: ABB

slow-moving regions, but overall, the relatively high-velocity combustion streams


remain intact. This results in a nonuniform combustion pattern throughout the
boiler. Evaluating the combustion gas
composition from each burner offers the
only way to optimize overall combustion
conditions.
For optimum combustion to be
achieved, there must be sufficient excess
air present to burn all of the fuel, but not
too much to reduce efficiency or increase
NOx production. For this reason, measuring
oxygen alone will not provide an accurate
picture of combustion efficiency.
Monitoring More Than Just Oxygen
ABBs new AZ40 analyzer (Figure 2) continuously monitors waste gases to measure both excess air and unburned fuel.
With that information, operators can adjust the amount of excess air to obtain
optimal combustion.
The AZ40 analyzer monitors the oxygen
and unburned combustibles in terms of
carbon monoxide equivalent (COe) using
two sensors. The oxygen reading indicates
the percent by volume measurement of the
net oxygen. Typically, this reading is the
primary indicator for combustion control.
The COe measurement is often used to optimize combustion control by further trimming the oxygen adjustment.
The localized concentration of COe
present in the boiler directly relates to
heat rate/efficiency, total fuel consumption, loss on ignition, localized slagging,
www.powermag.com

and fouling. By effectively measuring COe


and O2, plant engineers and operators can
ensure optimal combustion that results in
reduced fuel costs, reduced maintenance,
and reduction of NOx.
Different strategies can be implemented to model boiler inefficiency. In
general, a strategy that correctly targets partial grids to identify pockets
of high CO and excess air can be very
effective. By pinpointing the location
of poor combustion, an operator can
home in on the problematic area that is
leading to inefficiency and can better
utilize the O2 measurement in order to
fine-tune the burners to further optimize combustion.
Adequately monitoring areas of poor
combustion requires a matrix of probes
horizontally (sometimes vertically)
protruding at different lengths into
the furnace (usually from both sides).
The object is to extract flue gas samples from multiple points with multiple
AZ40 analyzers.
The analyzer consists of a sensor assembly, probe with filter assembly,
transmitter, and interconnecting cable
assembly. The sensor assembly flange
mounts to a duct or process wall, with
the probe extending into the flue gas
stream. Available in lengths up to 2,460
mm (96.8 inches) and suitable for applications up to 1,650C (3,000F), the probe
continuously draws in the sample, which
is then analyzed by the sensor. Electrical
outputs from the sensors are fed through

the interconnecting flexible cable to the


transmitter for interpretation.
The AZ40 analyzer contains a sensor calibration feature, which uses test
gases of known concentrations to calibrate both sensors and ensure continu-

ous accuracy. Operators can calibrate the


sensors automatically at any time of day
using an internal timer. Calibration can
also be initiated manually using the local
operator interface or remotely through
contact inputs.

A Maintenance-Friendly Design
There are a number of maintenance-saving features aimed at preventing the entry and buildup of ash within the probe.
To keep the sample path clear of dust
buildup, high-efficiency filters, based
on a woven sock design, are used, which
work by fluttering within their protective
shields. The resulting movement helps
prevent buildup of particles on the surface of the filter.
An optional blowback feature is available, which can be used to help prevent
clogging of the probe head filter assembly
caused by the buildup of process particles.
The blowback option is fully programmable,
allowing users to set both the duration and
frequency of blowback, with the choice of
either continuous or multiple air pulses.
The AZ40 has a heated sensor manifold
to prevent corrosive gases from condensing
in the analyzer sample path and causing a
blockage. The sensor manifoldheated to
204C (400F)maintains the sample above
its acid dew point.
The analyzer also includes advanced
diagnostic and verification functions.

All diagnostic status messages are displayed in accordance with NAMUR (the

An Acoustic Mouse for


Handheld 3-D Imaging
Ultrasonic testing (UT) has long been a
key method for detecting defects and service-induced degradation in nuclear and
fossil plant components and for supporting remaining component life assessment.
But it comes with some tradeoffs.
Manual scanning with handheld transducers allows quick and easy testing of
large areas at low cost, but the results
are mostly qualitative and can be plagued
with false positives. This requires a conservative approach, which means shorter
inspection intervals and sometimes-unnecessary repairs and replacements.
Automated UT using mechanized scanners can produce highly accurate threedimensional (3-D) scans of component
interiors, which can be stored, reconstructed, and manipulated, enabling
quantitative flaw analysis and better decision-making. These inspection systems,
however, are expensive, cumbersome,
time-consuming and difficult to operate,
and cannot always reach critical areas in
an operating plant.
The ideal UT system would be small
and handheld, yet capable of high-resolution 3-D scanning. A research project
led by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is developing just such a
tool, which it refers to as an acoustic
mouse (Figure 3).

Technological Challenges
The challenges for a handheld 3-D UT
system are twofold: precise tracking of
the transducer positionnecessary for
3-D imagingand a portable transducer
design that allows high-resolution image capture at a reasonable level of data
processing. These functions, according
to EPRI, also needed to be integrated
within a hardware and software system supporting seamless operation of
manual scanning, position-tracking, 3-D
imaging, computer encoding, data visualization and analysis, and condition assessment technologies.
EPRI began work on the project in 2009,
recognizing that advances in ultrasonic
scanning developed for medical and geophysical applications held promise for UT
of power plant components. Developmental work has focused on improving signal
processing, pattern recognition, and other methods to support accurate position
tracking and data reconstruction.
Previous UT scanners required highchannel transducers for 3-D image reconstruction, while large ultrasonic apertures
www.powermag.com

are necessary to achieve depth focusing


throughout the interior of thick-section
components. The EPRI project has developed new linear and matrix sparse-array
configurations with the potential to
achieve the same results as larger scanners using a smaller number of array elements and a smaller number of channels.
Small, Handheld, Powerful
Tests of the prototype developed by EPRI,
showed it was capable of generating highquality real-time computer-encoded images of simulated defects and internal
features in reference blocks and component mockups (Figure 4).
Though the EPRI acoustic mouse is not
yet being manufactured, EPRI is currently
working with instrument manufacturers
and plant owners to develop commercial
models and support code qualification
for the instruments, as well as develop
training programs for their use. The first
models are expected to be commercially
available in 2016.

Goldilocks, Ozone, and


Obamas EPA
Thomas W. Overton, JD
heres an old saying in Washington that when everyone is
upset, youve probably done something right.
By that measure, the Environmental Protection Agencys
(EPAs) latest update to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone, which cut the previous limit of 75 ppb
to 70 ppb on Oct. 1, was a home run.
The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) called it
burdensome, costly and misguided. The Sierra Club called it a
missed opportunity to clean up our air. Power, manufacturing,
and petroleum industry groups complained loudly while also expressing relief that the limit wasnt lowered further. Environmental and public health organizations from the Natural Resources
Defense Council to the NAACP to the American Lung Association
(ALA) bemoaned what they saw as the timidity of the move while
expressing mild thanks that it was lowered at all.
In October, five state governments and several private companies separately filed suits to block the new NAAQS, while the
House Committee on Science, Space and Technology held a hearing
on Oct. 22 in which witnesses and GOP representatives denounced
the new rule as unworkable and unnecessary. Rep. Jim Bridenstine
(R-Okla.) said, States must be given a chance to comply with the
existing standard before being imposed another onerous set of
standards that are not achievable. Several bills have been introduced in Congress to block implementation of the new rule.
Almost no one had anything meaningfully positive to say.

A Distasteful Brew
So whats all the fuss about? On the face of it, a 5 ppb change
may not seem significant, but in fact it is likely to have some
substantial impacts. Thats because the change moves a big
chunk of the country from attainment under the old standard to
nonattainment under the new one.
Ozone, an allotrope of oxygen composed of three oxygen atoms, is a compound that forms through chemical reactions involving sunlight and a variety of precursors. Those precursors
include an array of volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides
(NOx), and other substances that are emitted from power plants,
motor vehicles, and industrial processes.
Currently, around 100 million people in the U.S. live in areas that are in nonattainment for the old 75 ppb standard. At
the state level, 27 are in nonattainment, including the District
of Columbia. Critics suggest that the new standards could put
the majority of the U.S. population in nonattainment areas: 358
counties nationwide would currently be in nonattainment under
a 70 ppb standard.
The attainment status of a region matters because of what it
means for sources of pollution like power plants. A new source of
pollution that is proposed for an area in nonattainment must obtain a nonattainment new source review permit based on its lowest
achievable emission rate. In addition, a new source must arrange
for or purchase offsetting emissions reductions. This is a substan22

tially more difficult process than what is required for new projects
applying within attainment areas, which is essentially showing
that the plant will not cause the area to exceed the standard.
In practice, nonattainment tends to create a brisk market for
emissions reduction credits and other means of offsets, with
generators that are looking to build new plants often buying
old ones simply to shut them down and transfer the emissions
permit. (One example of this phenomenon is briefly discussed
in AES Uses Synchronous Condensers for Grid Balancing in
the March 2014 issue, in which attempts to secure replacement
power after the unexpected retirement of the San Onofre nuclear
plant were complicated by conflicting transactions for emissions
permits.) It should be obvious that this increases costs for new
plant projects, sometimes substantially.

Goldilocks Porridge
For all this, though, no reasonable person argues that ozone pollution isnt a problem worth addressing at some level. Because
ozone is a powerful oxidant, concentrations of it can have a number of impacts on human health, including respiratory and cardiovascular issues such as asthma. Health authorities generally
agree that these impacts can occur at levels as low as 60 ppba
level that groups such as the ALA were lobbying for. The World
Health Organization, in fact, recommends a 51 ppb limit.
Its clear that the EPA was at least considering a 60 ppb standard, since the proposed rule released in November 2014 solicited comments on such a limit. And comments it got: NAM
commissioned a study from National Economic Research Associates, which predicted economic effects that bordered on the
apocalyptic. Other critics have pointed out that certain areas,
especially California and other parts of the western U.S., have
naturally occurring levels of ozone that could make compliance
with even a 70 ppb standard in these regions impossible.
Its worth noting that the 70 ppb standard could have come
nearly a decade ago. The Bush EPAs Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee recommended a 60 ppb to 70 ppb standard in 2008,
and the EPA was prepared to issue such a new standard in 2011
before the Obama administration quashed the move, fearing the
economic effects would be too dire. That the new rule lowered
the standard only about as far as the EPA could do so and still
claim to be cutting it ought to say something.
Like the fairy tale of Goldilocks and her not-too-hot, not-toocold porridge, the Obama EPA seems to have established a track
record of splitting the difference on these kinds of environmental questions, among other things, scaling back the final Clean
Power Plan from the proposed rule and taking a similar tack with
the Coal Combustion Residuals rule issued earlier this year.
Obama may not be popular with the power sector at the moment, but generators might recognize that things could be a
whole lot worse.

Blackspring Ridge Wind Project,


Carmangay, Alberta
Owners/operators: Enbridge and EDF EN Canada

Think Alberta is all about oil and gas? While fossil fuels remain a major component
of the provinces economy, wind is coming on strong as the federal and provincial
governments look to reduce the areas substantial carbon emissions. Alberta took a
big step toward that goal with commissioning of the largest wind farm in Western
Canada.
Thomas W. Overton, JD

ith its vast resources of oil, gas,


coal, and tar sandssome of the
largest in the worldthe province
of Alberta has long been known as Canadas
fuel tank. Coal- and gas-fired power has supplied the large majority of the provinces
electricity needs for more than a century. (For
one example, see the story on the Shepard
Energy Centre, another POWER 2015 Top
Plant, in the September 2015 issue.)
But times are changing, and the provincial
and national governments are making a drive
to support renewable generation in Alberta.
Fortunately, Alberta has another substantial
energy resource: wind. Not so fortunately, its
deregulated electricity market makes financing projects with uncertain revenuelike

24

wind farmschallenging.
Still, Alberta has more than 1,400 MW of
operating wind capacity, comprising 37 projects and just under 1,000 total turbines as of
September 2015, according to the Canadian
Wind Energy Association (CanWEA). Most
of these projects came online with the help of
federal production incentives.
Those totals rank Alberta third in the
nation for installed wind capacity, but the
numbers took a big jump in May 2014
when the largest wind farm in Western
Canada, and one of the largest in the country, began operations: The Blackspring
Ridge Wind Project about 31 miles north
of Lethbridge and 62 miles north of the
U.S. border.
www.powermag.com

Site Challenges
Development of Blackspring Ridge began in
the mid-2000s under Calgary-based Greengate Power. A 100-square-mile project site
was selected, and federal renewable energy
credits were sold to California utility Pacific
Gas & Electric under a 20-year agreement,
with the electricity sold into the Alberta
Power Pool under fixed contracts. The Alberta-based Climate Change and Emissions
Management Corp. committed C$10 million
in support of the project.
Mortenson Construction was tapped as the
engineering, procurement, and construction
contractor early on in the project. Mortensons substantial experience with wind
farmsits built well over 100 of them

challenges with a sensitive native

would play a key role in bringing the project


to completion.
The site had some advantages, one of
which was that it was largely contiguous,
about 10 miles across, unlike typical wind
farms that are often scattered across separate
plots of land for dozens of miles. That would
ease one significant element of the construction process, which was the need to move and
disassemble the cranes when transiting from
one turbine location to the next.
But there were also challenges. Part of the
48,000-acre site contains protected native
prairie areas, and construction activities had
to minimize any impact on these locations.
Mortenson brought in consulting firm Stantec to perform an environmental assessment
of the site and develop a resource management plan to protect the native grasslands.
Another hurdle was coexisting with
the substantial oil and gas development in
the area. In plotting the turbine locations,
Mortenson had to navigate over, under,
and around a significant number of gathering pipelines. The collector lines for the
towersnearly 100 miles worthhad to be
laid across this maze of pipelines without
disrupting it.
In April 2013, with construction set to
begin, Greengate Power sold Blackspring
Ridge to Enbridge and EDF subsidiary EDF
EN Canada for C$600 million, with each
company owning a 50% share. Both companies came to the project with substantial wind
portfolios, and Blackspring Ridge would be
their fourth jointly owned wind farm, joining
the 80-MW Saint-Robert-Bellarmin, the 150MW Massif du Sud, and the 300-MW LacAlfred projects, all in Quebec.
Part of the process of meeting the construction challenges was engaging the local

December 2015 POWER

community and building support from residents of the village of Carmangay. Among
other efforts, Enbridge and EDF created the
Blackspring Ridge Community Fund, which
supports a variety of public and nonprofit organizations in the area.
The 300-MW project, comprising 166
Vestas V100 1.8-MW turbines, began construction in May 2013. At the time, it was
the largest order Vestas had received in Canada. Altalink would supply the interconnection and HD Supply most of the electrical
equipment.

Facing the Polar Vortex


Despite an aggressive schedule, construction
went smoothly for most of the spring, summer, and fall. But when the Canadian winter
blew in, things would change.
The winter of 20132014 was one of the
most severe North American winters on record, with areas across central Canada and
the U.S. seeing unusually cold temperatures
and snowfall. Though the worst of the Polar
Vortex blizzards hit further east, Alberta still
took a wallop. Temperatures at the construction site dipped to 31F. Frigid weather and
high winds forced construction to halt several
times (Figure 1).
In spite of the weather delays, construction was completed in a brisk 11 months
several months ahead of schedulewith
Enbridge and EDF EN Canada declaring the
project commercially operational on May
12, 2014. Mortenson officials would credit
careful preparation and planning for the successful completion despite the environmental challenges.
Benoit Rigal, vice president, engineering
and construction for EDF EN Canada, said,
Bringing all 300 megawatts of the Blackwww.powermag.com

spring Ridge project to completion safely and


ahead of schedule is a result of outstanding efforts by Mortenson, Vestas, Altalink, and our
team who worked hand in hand to overcome
many challenges, including an aggressive delivery schedule. The entire team performed
with professional diligence, always putting
safety first while maintaining respect for the
environment and our stakeholders.
About 350 people worked on the project,
and 20 permanent maintenance and operations jobs were created.
As Enbridges third Alberta-based wind
facility to come online, Blackspring Ridge
is a welcome addition to our growing
portfolio of renewable energy assets, Enbridges vice president of green power and
transmission, Don Thompson, said. Completing a project of this magnitude requires
a great deal of coordination and teamwork.
Not only is this the largest wind farm in
western Canada, it is one of the largest in
Canada. Blackspring Ridge was built ahead
of schedule thanks to the outstanding efforts of the entire team.
In addition to its status as a POWER Top
Plant, Blackspring Ridge has received other
honors. In October 2015, it was given CanWEAs 2015 Wind Energy Project Award,
which recognizes individuals, organizations,
and projects that have made significant contributions to advance the Canadian wind energy
industry. As a sign of the support Enbridge
and EDF EN Canada built in the area, Blackspring Ridge was nominated for the award by
Kym Nichols, the mayor of Carmangay.
EDF EN Canada has more plans for the
Blackspring Ridge project. Its currently
looking at developing a 60-MW solar park
nearby. At up to 170,000 panels, it would
as with Blackspring Ridgebe the largest
renewable energy plant of its type in Western
Canada. Construction is tentatively planned
for 2019.

Blue Lake Expansion Project,


Sitka, Alaska
Owner/operator: City and Borough of Sitka

Courtesy: Desiree Brandis/City and Borough of Sitka

When you live on an island in a relatively isolated location with no connection to a


mainland power grid, having a reliable source of electricity is important. The Blue
Lake Expansion Project provides exactly that for Sitka, allowing hydropower to supply 100% of the towns needs.:
Aaron Larson
aranof Island is home to Sitka, Alaska.
Located on the outer coast of Alaskas
Inside Passage, it is accessible only
by air and sea (although once on the island,
standard forms of transportation are common). Due to its relatively isolated location,
the island is not connected to a larger electric
power grid, which means the City and Borough of Sitka must operate its own electrical
system and plan for changes in load.
It might surprise readers to learn that Sitkas climate is extremely mild for its latitude,
on the 57th parallel north. The lowest recorded
temperature is 1F, logged in February 1948.
However, with its oceanic climate, the area
receives abundant rainfall. The average annual precipitation in Sitka is 131.74 inches,
more than three times the amount received in
Seattle, Wash., which is considered one of the
rainiest cities in the U.S. In fact, some form
of precipitation is documented in Sitka during
two out of every three days on average.

The Oil-Electricity Link


The City and Borough of Sitka owns and operates two hydroelectric projects, which generate electricity for the area. The Blue Lake
Project was originally licensed in March 1958,
while the Green Lake Project was added 21
years later. In 2002, Sitka began the process
of relicensing the Blue Lake Project. At the
time, fuel oil prices in Sitka were low ($0.71
per gallon) and electricity demand growth
was predicted to be less than 1% annually. In
other words, the Blue Lake Project seemed adequately sized to accommodate future needs.
However, from 2002 through 2008, the
price of fuel oil rose steadily, to $3.24 per
gallon. That increase led many residents and
businesses in Sitka to switch from fuel oil to
electric heating systems. Although the heating changes played a large role in electricity
demand growth, the local seafood processing
industry also saw unexpected growth. In 2006
alone, the city experienced a 7% load increase,
www.powermag.com

followed by 5% the next year. Those two years


of increases consumed 12 years of expected
cushion. Something needed to be done.
The city conducted feasibility studies to
determine how best to meet demand. It evaluated hydro, diesel, wind, tidal, and geothermal
energy. Based on the results, hydroelectric
generation was considered the best alternative. Expansion of the Blue Lake Project made
more sense than expanding the Green Lake
Project or developing an entirely new project.
The Blue Lake Project had more water inflow
than the existing turbines could use, and the
dam was built in a canyon that could geotechnically support a significantly higher dam.
Building the dam is the easiest part, said
Dean Orbison, project manager for the City
and Borough of Sitka. Its getting permission thats the hardest.

tory Commission (FERC) in March 2008. That


began the long and arduous process (Table 1)
of getting approval to increase the height of
the dam by 83 feet and construct a new powerhouse with three new turbines, which would
increase the average annual generation by 54%.
Just over four years later, FERC approved the
request after the project sponsors had completed what seemed like an infinite number of
meetings, studies, reports, and paperwork.

Pulling Together
Barnard Construction was selected as the
general contractor for the project. One of the
first challenges it faced when construction
began in November 2012 was that the steep,
narrow canyon in which the dam sat had no
access on one side. Therefore, all equipment
had to be delivered across the dam by crane.
Barnard sourced a 600-ton lattice crawler
crane from Alaska Crane for the job. With a
boom length of 396 feet, it was the largest
crane operating in Alaska at the time. The

crane was indispensible for the project. It


was used to deliver tunneling equipment to
the team building a drainage tunnel in the
plunge pool, as well as to set a smaller crane
in place on a flexi-float barge, allowing crews
to work from the upstream side of the dam.
The crane was also used to deliver crews to
various areas using a manbasket and, most
importantly, to pour concrete into forms via
an 8-cubic-yard bucket.
Hook time was critical. Operation of
the crane was restricted when wind speeds
reached 25 mph, but Barnard was proactive
when it observed delays and brought in a second crane to make up time.
Thats what Barnard is good at, Orbison
said. They saw that they were going to be a
little bit behind if they stuck with just one crane,
so they stepped up and put in a second.
The aggregate, sand, and cement for the
project were delivered to an industrial park located about 2 miles from the dam site. A batch
plant was set up there to do the concrete mixing. Six different mixes were used, and quality
control standards were monitored closely.
When each batch was ready, it was loaded
in a concrete truck for transport. Workers had
90 minutes to get it into the forms. Orbison
said it generally took about 40 minutes, so
the team rarely had any trouble meeting the
time restriction. In all, more than 9,000 cubic
yards of concrete were placed, 8 cubic yards
at a time (Figure 1).

Help with the Details


Sitka employed Hatch Associates Consultants to perform the design phase of the
project and act as the engineer of record. The
city also hired the company now known as
McMillen Jacobs Associates Inc. as the construction manager. In addition to providing
the resident engineering of project features
during construction, McMillen Jacobs Associates oversaw the onsite geotechnical
aspects, including underground construction,
access road construction, portal and slope
stability design, and dam foundation excavation and grouting.
One of the larger design changes involved
the waterways from the dam to the powerhouse. A new power intake, intake tunnel,
gate shaft, and surge chamber were required.
RFK Blue Lake Tunnelers, a joint venture
consisting of J.S. Redpath Corp. and Frontier-Kemper Constructors, performed the
underground work. New tunnels and shafts
were constructed at two different sitesup at

it did curtain grouting in the left and right
dam abutments to reduce the permeability of
rock formations, and installed rock anchors
to stabilize both abutments. Near the base of
the dam, Crux completed micropile installation to support the plunge pool scour wall.
The company also installed pressure relief
wells and drilled exploratory core holes from
within the new drainage tunnel.
Inside the new powerhouse building, three
Gilkes G150 Francis reaction turbines fitted
with hydraulic actuators were installed. Each
of the machines was commissioned to run at
5.3 MW, but they have the potential to run
at 9 MW each, if future demand warrants a
change. The turbine-generator protection and
control system, programmable logic controllerbased droop/isochronous governor controllers, and auxiliary equipment control and
monitoring was designed, manufactured, and
commissioned by British Columbiabased
Unit Electrical Engineering.
Gilkes is actually a British firm, Orbison
said. Much of the equipment for this project
came from all over the worldItaly, France,
Canada. The generators came from the United States.

Time Pressure a Blessing?


Orbison felt the biggest challenge was that
much of the project construction schedule was
dependent on lake level and weather. Construction on the dam and tunnels required the lake
level to be low, and it changes seasonally.
If youre lateif your material doesnt
get there on timewell, the weather doesnt
care, said Orbison. Its going to rain and
if you dont have the dam built on time, the
waters going to go over whatever youve got
there, and that would be a terrible disaster.
Because of the risk and the dire consequences if milestones werent met, everyone
associated with the project was motivated to
meet deadlines. Orbison said that there was
no such thing as a good excuse for not finishing activities on time.
Now that its all done, I would say that
was a blessing.

Briefly the worlds largest solar photovoltaic plant, Desert Sunlight remains an example of how California is charging ahead with its shift to renewable energy. Though
the road has not been without bumps, First Solar has shown how these giant projects can be brought to operation safely and efficiently.
Thomas W. Overton, JD
ust how fast are things moving in solar?
When we received the nomination for
the massive Desert Sunlight Solar Farm
in late April, the 550-MW facility was the
largest solar power plant in the world, sharing the title with MidAmerican Energy Holdings Topaz Solar Farm. Yet by the time this
article went into production in mid-October,
it had already lost that crown to Californias
579-MW Solar Star plant, which came online
in June.
Statistics from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) demonstrate the
staggering growth in solar photovoltaic
(PV) generation in the U.S. over the past
few years. In early 2013, the U.S. celebrated
reaching 10 GW of installed PV capacity.
California alone passed that figure in 2015.
The large majority of that growth has been
at utility scale, which has been dominated
by ever-larger plantsthe 550 MW of generation at Desert Sunlight is more than the
total nationwide capacity installed as of
mid-2008. The U.S. reached 20 GW of installed capacity this year, yet even that number is projected by the SEIA to be doubled
yet again by the end of 2016 (some of the

28

growth, admittedly, is driven by the pending


expiration of the Investment Tax Credit).
Just how long Desert Sunlight holds second place remains to be seen. The SEIA solar
project tracking database lists several larger
projects in development, including some as
large as 2.7 GW, though their chances of
reaching commercial operation are unclear.
But how Desert Sunlight got there is still significant.

Saving the Tortoises


Developing a mammoth solar PV plant, especially one located on public land, is a
complicated, years-long process. For Desert
Sunlight, that process began in 2007, when
First Solar began planning for a large solar
plant in Riverside County, California.
First Solar identified a site on Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) land just north
of Desert Center, about 60 miles east of
the Palm Springs area and about 1.5 miles
from the border of Joshua Tree National
Park. Though largely vacant and undeveloped, there were environmental concerns,
specifically the desert tortoise, which is indigenous to the area and is listed as threatwww.powermag.com

ened under the Endangered Species Act.


First Solar reached out to the California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
to discuss wildlife survey protocols for the
proposed project. Between 2007 and 2010,
experts retained by First Solar performed
biological surveys within the proposed
project boundaries. The BLMs draft environmental impact statement, released in
2010, determined construction of the project
would result in a loss of habitat. First Solar,
the BLM, FWS, and CDFG worked together
to develop protective measures that would
avoid, minimize, and offset impacts to the
tortoises.
These measures included careful surveys and monitoring of construction areas
to identify and remove tortoises; building
a tortoise exclusion fence around the entire
plant; taking steps during construction to
avoid attracting tortoise predators such as
ravens; long-term monitoring of relocated
tortoises; and a habitat compensation plan
to acquire and set aside alternate tortoise
habitat that would make up for the areas lost
to construction.

The FWS released its Biological Opinion on Desert Sunlight in July 2011, and the
BLM issued a right-of-way to proceed with
construction in August.

Innovative Construction
Power from Desert Sunlight was sold to
Southern California Edison (250 MW for
20 years) and Pacific Gas & Electric (300
MW for 30 years) under two power purchase
agreements. Several key events for the project took place in September 2011, beginning
with the start of construction.
On September 29, the Department of Energys Loan Programs Office (LPO) approved
two partial loan guarantees totaling $1.5 billion, provided by a syndicate of private in-

stitutional investors and commercial banks


headed by Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
Desert Sunlight is only one of a number of
large solar projects supported by the LPO
these include POWER Top Plants such as
Agua Caliente and Solana Generating Stationbut the size of this guarantee was exceeded only by the $1.6 billion for POWERs
2014 Plant of the Year, Ivanpah Solar Electric
Generating Station. Though somewhat controversial, the LPO has been successful in its
statutory mission of supporting commercial
deployment of large-scale advanced clean
energy technologies that might otherwise not
have secured financing.
Then, on September 30, First Solar sold
Desert Sunlight to NextEra Energy subsidiary NextEra Energy Resources and GE Energy Financial Services. (Sumitomo Corp. of
Americas would purchase a 25% share out of
GEs stake the following October, with NRG
Yield buying the remaining 25% in June
2015.)
One thing that set Desert Sunlight apart
from other large solar projects is that it employs First Solars Series 3 cadmium-telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar panels rather than
the more common crystalline silicon panels
(Figure 1). Though less efficient than crystalline silicon, CdTe panels are less expensive
and have a less-carbon-intensive manufacturing process.
Though the power output alone makes
the size of Desert Sunlight clear, a few more
numbers add some detail. The project used
more than 8 million PV modules, 1,100 miles
of electrical wiring, and, according to First

1. Modular power. Unlike the more common crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, Desert Sunlight uses First Solars cadmium-telluride thin-film solar technology. First Solar developed
a pre-paneled module design for Desert Sunlight that allowed installation of eight modules at
once. Courtesy: First Solar

Solar, enough steel to build the Brooklyn


Bridge four times over.
The size of the project meant some measures needed to be taken to speed construction. First Solar developed a pre-paneled
cartridge design for the PV modules that allowed eight modules to be installed at once
using a single paneled cartridge. Additionally, from the time the project began, First
Solar improved the efficiency and output of
its PV modules, which resulted in a decrease
of 300 acres in the footprint for the project
site. Desert Sunlight was originally designed
with 77.5-watt modules with an efficiency of
10.7%, but by the projects completion, module wattage had increased to 97.5 watts with
an efficiency of 13.5%.
Construction was completed in 40 months,
with on-site construction staff peaking at
1,100. The project was inaugurated in February 2015 at a ceremony keynoted by U.S.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell.
Solar projects like Desert Sunlight are
helping create American jobs, develop domestic renewable energy and cut carbon
pollution, Jewell said. I applaud the project proponents for their vision and entrepreneurial spirit to build this solar project, and
commend [California] Governor Brown for
implementing policies that take action on
climate change and help move our nation toward a renewable energy future.

Rocky Road, Clear Path


Southern Californiaespecially its desert regionshas been rapidly sprouting giant solar
projects for the past few years, but the trend
has not been without controversy.
Environmental groups have expressed
concern about the impact these large developments have on sensitive desert ecosystems,
which, because of limited rainfall and slowgrowing flora can take decades and even
centuries to recover from damage. Along
with Joshua Tree, the area hosts several
world-famous national parks such as Death
Valley. Thats sparked a battle between those
who want to keep the desert pristine and untouched and those who argue clean energy
is necessary to blunt the impacts of climate
change, which is affecting the desert.
Some area residents have complained
about the visual impact of large solar plants,
which are expanding in an area already hosting a profusion of wind turbines. Still, with
California moving this year to a 50% by 2030
renewable portfolio target, the demand for
large solar seems unlikely to slacken. Desert Sunlight may no longer be the largest,
but theres no argument that it will remain a
trendsetter.

Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant,


Gyeonggi Province, South Korea
Owner/operator: K-water

Courtesy: K-water

The worlds largest power-producing tidal barrage revitalized an unsuccessful manmade reservoir that was once known as The Lake of Death.
Sonal Patel
rom space, the 12.7-kilometer (km)
Sihwa Lake tidal barrage that houses a
400-meter (m)-long tidal power plant
looks like a delicate strand stretched across
one of many bays and inlets characterizing
the craggy coastline of Gyeonggi Bay in the
Korean Peninsulas northwestern region. On
site, however, there is no question that the
254-MW tidal power plant designed to reap
energy from the highest tides in the vast Yellow Sea is a marvel of engineering.
Thats why its curious that the $355 million tidal power plantthe first of its kind
in South Korea, and the largest in the world
since construction of Frances 240-MW La
Rance tidal power plant in 1965was conceived as an afterthought.
In 1994, South Korea created the 56.5-

32

square-kilometer (km2) freshwater Lake Sihwa by constructing a 12.7-km dike between


Oido Island in Siheung city and Daebudo
Island in Ansan city to secure agricultural
and irrigation water, and to reclaim 173 km2
of land near the local metropolitan areas of
three cities surrounding the lake.
But within years after the embankment
was built, it was apparent that without seawater circulation, Lake Sihwawhich is about
the size of Manhattan Islandwas seeing
an inordinate inflow of polluted wastewater
from a nearby industrial complex. The pollution severely contaminated the basin and
made it unusable as a freshwater reservoir, as
intended. By 1997, partly driven by a pollution scandal that dubbed Sihwa The Lake of
Death, officials were forced to reformulate
www.powermag.com

their plans, opening a sluice to allow seawater to regularly flush the basin.
That move prompted South Korean governmental water authority Korea Water Resources Corp. (then KOWACO, and recently
renamed K-water) to step in and propose a
tidal power barrage that uses a single-effect
flood generation method and allows up to
60 billion tons of seawater to be circulated
annually.
By December 2002, the project was approved, and precisely two years later, in
2004, construction began. Seven years after
that, in December 2011, K-waters Sihwa
Lake tidal power plant was connected to the
grid, equipped with 10 bulb-type generator
units (each 25.4 MW) that produce about
552.7 GWh annually.

Building the Barrage


Today, the plant is housed in the concrete seawall that bridges two eco-park areas. One
half of the bridge is taken up by the 10 generating units, and the other half, by eight culverttype sluice gates, seen in the foreground of the
opening photo. The tidal units essentially produce power by exploiting the gap in the water
level between the sea and Lake Sihwa. As the
tide rises, saltwater flows through the turbines
from the Yellow Sea and into Lake Sihwa, creating electricity. But at low tide, the gates are
raised and the turbines revert to sluicing mode,
allowing the lake to be emptied and no electricity to be produced.
According to Daewoo Engineering &
Construction Co., the international firm that
won the engineering, construction, and procurement contract, construction of the project
entailed about a dozen key stages. After silt
protection was ensured, a temporary circular
cell cofferdam was installed and diversion
roads were built. Then, the temporary basin
that the cofferdam created was drained and
excavated for dry work, and the main concrete structures for the turbines and sluices
were built. After a gantry crane was erected
as a temporary wharf, the turbines were transported by a special carrier and installed. New
roads were then built over the sluice gates, after which the diversion roads and cofferdam
were removed, and the turbines were tested
(Figure 1).
The unique project required unique solutions, noted Andritz Hydro, the Austrian
engineering group contracted to provide
detailed engineering and supply core com-

ponents for the turbines and some generator


parts. The three-blade turbine design with
a runner diameter of 7.5 m may look like a
conventional bulb-type unit at first sight, but
it has key differences, said the company. For
one, it uses very high and continuous variation of available heads. It also enables a high
number of starts and stops and reverse mode
operation (sluicing), it said.
The basic concept of the turbines and
generators were derived from Verbunds
1992-built Freudenau hydropower plant on
the Danube River in Austria. Usually, tidal
power plants generate energy in both directionsfrom sea to lake and from lake to
sea. In this specific case, energy is generated
only at high tide (from sea to lake), Andritz
explained. Since the embankment was first
built, several buildings have been erected
on the lakes shores. Therefore, as a consequence, the lake may only reach a maximum
level of 1.0 meters. Thus, power generation
from lake to sea is not economical anymore,
because the turbines cannot be optimized for
one direction of flow.
According to Andritz, one challenge that
was immediately apparent concerned protecting impinged parts from salt corrosion. The
company resolved that concern by covering
vulnerable parts with a cathodic protection
system. Then it had to come up with the most
efficient way to produce power from changing tidal ranges (which depend on a number
of factors, including moon phases, the sun,
and seasons) and lake volumes. Contrary
to run-of-river plants, this tidal power plant
is started twice a day and runs in sluicing
www.powermag.com

mode, Andritz said. It required a sophisticated programming of the power plant control, the company said.
Construction of the project proved just as
cumbersome. Work needed to progress simultaneously at each of the 10 units, requiring an assortment of resources and careful
time management. Andritz recalled that due
to the tides there were restricted periods for
wet commissioning, for example.
And because it is one of the first of its kind,
plant operator K-water is continually finding
new ways to handle problems. One challenge
encountered just months after operation began was the realization that when the turbines
were paused while the tide was out, they
quickly accumulated marine life growth that
affected performance significantly. Frequent
cleaning resolved that quickly, however.

Inspiring Similar Projects


Now in its fourth year of operation, the unique
plant has continued to restore the Lake Sihwa
ecosystem and water quality by allowing seawater exchange while producing power. But
it has also spawned similar projects in South
Korea, a country whose energy emphasis has
shifted subtly toward renewables in longterm energy plans.
To reap the large tides in the Yellow Sea
off the countrys western coast, the Ministry
of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs;
Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power; and GS
Engineering & Construction are gearing up
to build a 1,320-MW tidal power plant on Incheon Bay about 60 km north of Lake Sihwa.
Korea Midland Power Corp. is also mulling
plans to build a 420-MW barrage even farther
north.
For K-water, the company that manages
half of the national water supply and wants to
expand into renewable energy, the project has
actualized a goal to transform conventional
water management. Perhaps, it told POWER,
the plant is the dynamic force that will
drive South Koreas green growth.

Olkaria Geothermal Expansion


Project, Rift Valley Province, Kenya
Owner/operator: Kenya Electricity Generating Co.

Courtesy: KenGen

Kenya plans to produce the bulk of its electricity from geothermal power. The recent
280-MW expansion at its Olkaria fields has shown how beneficial the indigenous,
renewable energy source can be.
Sonal Patel
he Great Rift Valley is a massive continental fault system that runs 6,000
kilometers (km) from Mozambique
to Jordan. In Kenya, the East African nation that is neatly halved by the equator, the
Rift Valley is a distinguishing topographical
feature, a literal vertical divide that is the
source of stunning panoramasflamingoflecked lakes, shrub-stippled escarpments,
craggy mountains, and dramatic, rust-colored
gorgesall formed over eons by the shifting
faults and erosion.
But, under the surface, the ground continues to roil, particularly around Olkariaa region characterized by hot springs, fumaroles,
searing rocks, and sulfur-oozing fissures. The
hotspot lies in the Naivasha sub-basin of the
Rift Valley, in the vicinity of a national park
aptly named Hells Gate.
To determine its power-producing potential, in the late 1950sabout five years before Kenya gained her independence from
Britainthe government successfully drilled
two exploratory wells in the area to a depth of
about 950 meters (m). Nearly 10 years later,
it teamed with the United Nations to assess

34

its geothermal resources, focusing on an 80square-km tract of land in Olkaria. In 1981,


the first 45-MW geothermal plant was established (at Olkaria I).
Fast forward two decades, with some $1
billion committed by development funds,
about 579 MW of a potential of 10 GW of
geothermal power has been developed. Most
is owned by the Kenya Electricity Generating
Co. (KenGen)a company majority-owned
by the Kenyan government that produces
80% of Kenyas powerwith the remainder
owned by Ormat International subsidiary OrPower 4.
Meanwhile, the Olkaria geothermal field
has since been divided into seven portions for
ease of development and management. Olkaria I now hosts a KenGen power plant with
three 15-MW turbogenerators that were commissioned between 1981 and 1985. That field
was expanded this February by 140 MW with
the addition of two new 70-MW units (Figure 1). KenGen says the increase of steam in
the field was due to drilling wells of 3,000 m,
deeper than earlier wells that were drilled to
between 900 m and 2,200 m.
www.powermag.com

Olkaria II hosts a 2003-commissioned 70MW power plant and a 2010-commissioned


35-MW unit (for a total installed capacity of
105 MW). Olkaria III hosts a 110-MW power
plant owned by OrPower 4, operating Organic
Rankine Cycle binary plant turbines. At Olkaria IV, where a potential of more than 350 MW
has been shown as a result of drilling over the
last decade, another 140-MW power plant was
completed and commissioned in 2014.

A Hot Job
Plans for the expansion are directly rooted
in the governments ambitions to meet soaring demand for power. KenGen contracted
Japans Toyota Tsusho Corp. and South Korean firm Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. to manage the 280-MW Olkaria
phase, including engineering, procurement,
and construction, in November 2011. The

companies teamed up with Toshiba Corp.,


which delivered the steam turbine generators.
Toshiba reported that it succeeded in accelerating delivery of the turbines by two to three
months, as was needed.
Construction involved drilling steam production wells and reinjection wells to provide
enough steam capacity to produce power, as
well as building the steam gathering and reinjection pipeline networks and associated infrastructure. Crews then built the powerhouses
and installed the turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment. They also built a switchyard
and double-circuit 220-kV transmission line.
The expansion project consisted of four
identical 70-MW units, each with a design
steam pressure and temperature of 6 bar
and 158.7C. Developers opted for a singleflash cycle systemthe most popular type
of geothermal power plantbecause it uses
well-proven technology and a wide range of
applicable design conditions. The technology
essentially entails sending a mixture of steam
and hot water produced at production wells
via two-phase pipelines to separator stations,
where steam is separated from hot water using a steam-water separator. The separated
steam is then sent via pipelines to the powerhouse, and the hot water is sent back to
reinjection wells. Meanwhile, the steam generates power by rotating the steam turbine,
after which it enters the condenser, where it
is cooled by cooling water brought in from a
cooling tower.
In Olkaria, where production wells are
drilled during construction of the surface facilities in order to shorten the project period,
a single-flash cycle is preferable, explained
West Japan Engineering Consultants in a preparatory survey.

A Much-Needed Boost
Before the project was carried out, Kenya had
already installed about 241 MW of geothermal power. However, the expansion provided
KenGen experience and technical training in
36

more advanced geothermal technology, including for steam exploration, well-drilling,


and power plant construction and operation.
Perhaps as noteworthy is that the project
has helped the country save billions of shillings each month by displacing an equivalent
amount of mostly diesel and heavy fuel oil
fired power.
Despite rolling out an ambitious longterm energy plan, dubbed VISION 2030 in
2008, Kenya continues to depend on hydropower for its electricity needs and typically
sees widespread outageseven though only
25% of its population of 44.4 million people
has access to electricity. Recently stricken by
a two-year-long drought, that dependency
has been debilitating to its soaring economic
growth. Since adding the much-needed 280
MW of geothermal capacity to the national
grid, total geothermal capacity has grown to
521 MW, surpassing hydro as the countrys
main source of power and mitigating power
shortages at a time when rains failed, KenGen said earlier this year.
The expansion of the indigenous renewable power source has also resulted in a 65%
drop in the generating companys fuel costs,
it reported. That alone has made a substantial impact on electricity prices: According to
KenGen CEO Albert Mugo, as a result of the
governments investment in geothermal energy, since August 2014, the cost of power to
industrial and domestic consumers has fallen
by more than 30%.
The projects financiers, which include
www.powermag.com

a number of international development entitiessuch as the World Bank, the Japan


International Cooperation Agency, the European Investment Bank, French Development
Agency, and Germanys KFWlaud this
achievement because it shows how getting
affordable electricity can transform lives.
Kids can learn at school and do homework
at night. Businesses can flourish and create
new jobs. Thats why we are investing in the
energy sector, which is a key infrastructure
investment in the fight against poverty, said
Diarietou Gaye, the World Banks country director for Kenya this February.
Its no surprise, then, that Kenyas 2013
updated VISION plan makes geothermal its
highest priority. If all goes as it should, by
2030, Kenya should reap 29% of its power
from Rift Valley hotspots, compared to plans
for sourcing 22% from coal, 16% from natural gas, 11% from nuclear, 9% from wind,
3% from hydro (from the current 47%), 2%
from diesel, and importing 8%.
Plans under way include building a sixth
70-MW unit at Olkaria I, the two-unit, 140MW Olkaria V project, and the two-unit,
140-MW Olkaria VI project. Meanwhile, the
Geothermal Development Co., a state-owned
firm established to drill and develop new resources, is surveying at least 16 other fields,
including at Menengai and Eburru, to help
the country ultimately add 8 GW of new geothermal power.

Thermal storage is often touted as the future of concentrating solar power (CSP),
but it turns out there are other ways of delivering firm dispatchable CSP-generated
power. A unique plant in Spain has gone the hybrid route, combining CSP with biomass generation fired with the regions ample agricultural wastes.
Thomas W. Overton, JD

ou cant spell C-S-P without S-P-A-I-N.


Though there are now many nations
with concentrating solar power (CSP)
plants in operation, and nations with larger
ones than Spain possesses, its difficult to
discuss CSP without beginning in this sunny
western European nation.
Spain inaugurated the first commercial power tower CSP plant in Europe in
2007, the 11-MW Planta Solar 10 project
in Seville, as well as Europes first parabolic trough CSP plant, the 50-MW Andasol 1 facility in Aldeire. The nation leads
the world in both number of commercial
plants (51) and total installed capacity (2.3
GW).
Spain has been a leader in developing
advanced CSP technology such as thermal storage, and Spanish firm Abengoa has
been one of the most successful in deploying CSP plants around the world, including
several large projects in the U.S. (such as the
280-MW Solana Generating Station, a 2014
POWER Top Plant).
One of those Spanish innovations can be
found in a smallish plant in the far northeast
corner of the country, near the town of Les

38

Borges Blanques, in the midst of mile upon


mile of olive groves, for which the Catalan
region is famous.

Hybrid Potential
CSPs key advantage over solar photovolatic
(PV) generation is that it is less senstitive to
intermittencies of sunlight. A CSP systems
thermal inertia means it can keep generating
when clouds pass over briefly, and though

generation?
In 2010, Spanish firms Abantia and Comsa Emte had a different idea: combining CSP
with a biomass-fired boiler. The goal was
continuous, stable renewable energy with
complementary systems that would balance
out any intermittency in generation.

Uniquely located to leverage

First, as it was located in the middle of a


large farming region, the plant would have
access to abundant wood products and agricultural waste for fuel. (For another example of using olive waste products for
energy, see the article in the August 2012
issue about Combined Solar Technologies
plant at the Musco Family Olive Co. in
Tracy, Calif., POWERs 2012 Marmaduke
Award winner.)
Second, the location away from optimal
solar insolation was intended to demonstrate
that hybrid plants such as this could expand
the possible regions (in Spain and elsewhere)
where CSP could be effective. While the location might not be ideal for CSP alone, combining it with a well-situated biomass plant
would enable renewable generation in areas
that might be less competitive otherwise.

CSP Synergy
Focus then turned to the plants design.
A CSP plant has four main components:
The solar field, where the reflectorsin this
case, parabolic troughscollect the solar radiation and transfer it to a heat transfer fluid
(HTF); the power block, where the thermal
energy in the fluid is used to create steam and
drive a turbine; the electrical block, where
power is generated and sent to the grid; and
the balance-of-plant (BOP) systems. A biomass plant, by contrast, has some different
elements: In addition to its thermal block, it
must also have systems for intake and processing of its feedstock.
The designers of Termosolar Borges
sought to integrate the two designs thermal
and electrical blocks. The plants two hybrid
boilers are able to use either the HTF or biomass to generate steam, depending on the
time of day and the weather conditions. In

December 2015 POWER

addition, a smaller auxiliary boiler can fire


natural gas to supplement control of steam
production, as needed. A specially designed
control system balances the three to maintain
stable generation.
Under normal operation, the solar field
and HTF are used to generate steam during
the day. At night, and during overcast days,
the boilers are fired with biomass. When
burning biomass, combustion air is preheated
in an economizer, and when biomass moisture content is higher than normal, the natural
gas boiler can be used to maintain steam outlet temperatures. The combined system has
a capacity of 36 MWt and 22.5 MWe. The
biomass furnace was sized to maintain 50%
power at night, since below that the steam
turbine operates much less efficiently.
Thus, by integrating the biomass boiler
with the CSP thermal loop, the two generation systems rely on much of the same infrastructure and are able to provide continuous,
round-the-clock power.
Construction of Termosolar Borges began
in March 2011 and was completed in November 2012. Following testing and commissioning, the plant entered commercial operation
in December. Total investment was 153 million. About 40 permanent workers operate
the plant.
The 183,120 m2 solar field, comprising
336 collectors, 2,688 parabolic troughs, and
56 thermal loops, was supplied by Siemens
subsidiary Siemens Sunfield. The HTF, supplied by Dow Chemical, operates at an intake
temperature of 293C and an outlet temperature of 393C.
The three boilers were supplied by Intec and feed a single MAN Diesel & Turbo

Comsa Emte served as their own engineering, procurement, and construction suppliers,
while other BOP systems were supplied by
Weber-Hydraulik (hydraulic systems), Ideas
en Metal (piping and structural elements),
and Saidi (valves).
Termosolar Borges operates mainly on
woody biomass sourced from forestry waste
from various locations in Catalonia, as well
as agricultural waste products. Total intake is
66,000 tons per year at an average 45% moisture content. The biomass is shredded and
dried before being burned in the boiler.

Cloudy Skies for Spanish CSP


Though Termosolar Borges has operated well
since coming online, not all is sunny in the
Spanish CSP sector.
Much of the reason the nation has so much
CSP capacity was a 2007 law that provided
generous tariffs for CSP-generated electricity. That sparked a construction boom well
beyond what policymakers anticipated. The
near-term target was 500 MW of capacity;
more than 4 GW was announced and 2.3 GW
approved for construction. As the plants came
online, that meant significantly higher subsidies were being paid than had been planned
for. By 2011, the sector was experiencing
an unsustainable 30 billion deficit, forcing
regulatory changes that substantially reduced
potential investment returns and brought the
Spanish CSP boom to a complete halt. More
than 2 GW of announced capacity was cancelled, and no new CSP plants have been
planned since 2010.
Sector observers have been looking for
ways to restart CSP development under more
sustainable policies, but ongoing overcapacity in the Spanish power market suggests
that meaningful changes are unlikely in the
near term. Still, the potential that Termosolar
Borges has shown for hybrid CSP plants is
worthy of recognition.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Take These Five Steps Now to


Ensure ELG Compliance at Your
Power Plant
The first effluent limitation guidelines update since 1982 is game-changing for
many U.S. power plants. This unfiltered look at the rule and its nuances will help you understand how each component affects your plant and
presents the five steps you need to take now to be on pace with the compliance timeline.
Colleen Layman
he U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPAs) first update to the Steam
Electric Power Generating Effluent
Guidelines (commonly called effluent limitation guidelines or ELGs) since 1982 changes
the way many power plants will operate in the
future. The complex rule, coming in at a staggering 311 pages, covers a lot of ground. But
the main focus falls on coal-fired power plants
and integrated gasification combined cycle
(IGCC) power plant wastewaters.
To grasp the impact of the rule at your
plant, its important to know the history of
the rule and the reasoning behind some of
its nuances. Thats the logical start. Next
you need to understand the latest updates
six main focus areas and how they apply to
your facility. Once youre up to speed on the
rule itself, its time to take a hard look at the
five steps you need to take now so your plant
is ready for compliance, which could be as
early as three years down the road.

The Update
Its been a decade since the EPA first identified the power industrys ELGs for study and
a potential update. And on September 30,
2015, after 10 long years of studying, surveying, and debating, the EPA administrator
signed the final ELGs rule for the steam electric power generating point source category
and submitted it for publication in the Federal Register. The result? Lots of expected
updates and a few surprising changes.
Heres the brief background of this new
rule. The steam electric power generating
point source category ELGs rule regulates
wastewater discharges from fossil- and nuclear-powered steam generating plants whose
primary purpose is to generate electricity for
distribution and sale, and that discharge to
a surface water body via a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
40

permit (direct dischargers) or discharge to a


publicly owned treatment works (POTW) via
a pretreatment permit (indirect dischargers).
The ELGs are technology-based regulations, which means the limitations set by the
EPA under this rule are established based on
what is achievable given the implementation
of a certain treatment technology the agency
selects as a basis.
Although nuclear and combined cycle
power plants fall into this ELG category and
are subject to this rule, the primary focus of
the EPA update is coal-fired power plant and
IGCC power plant wastewatersparticularly
the wastewaters from these facilities associated with flue gas air pollution control systems
or solid waste handling systems. Given that a
number of these wastewater sources werent
commonly used when the rule was last updated 33 years ago, many of these wastewaters
were regulated as low-volume wastewaters.
Now that these wastewaters are commonplace sources, a major intent of the update is
to remove them from the catch-all category of
low-volume wastewater and establish separate
regulation of each using its own set of limits
and treatment technology basis.

Six Focus Areas: Whats Changed


and What Hasnt
The 2015 ELGs update focuses on six power
plant wastewater streams:

Flue gas mercury control (FGMC) system


wastewater
Bottom ash transport waters
Fly ash transport waters
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater
Coal combustion residuals (CCR)
leachate
IGCC wastewater
Although

additional

regulation

www.powermag.com

of

nonchemical metal-cleaning wastes was proposed in the draft version of the rule, the EPA
reserved this category of wastewater for future consideration. That decision was based
on comments received from the industry and
a general lack of data on the waste stream.
Regulators will still be expected to use their
best professional judgment when determining
limits for discharge of these wastewaters.
The first three ELG updates ban FGMC
wastewaters, fly ash transport waters, and
bottom ash transport waters from being discharged to surface water bodies or POTWs.
FGMC wastewaters include any process
wastewater generated from an air pollution
control system installed or operated for the
purpose of removing mercury from flue gas.
This refers to the sluice or transport waters
used to transfer the mercury adsorbent (usually activated carbon) from the collection
hoppers to an impoundment. In the previous
version of the rule, these wastewaters were
included as low-volume wastewaters. Now
theyre one of the streams (along with FGD
wastewater, IGCC wastewater, and CCR
leachate) being removed from the low-volume
waste category to be regulated individually.
In the final rule update, FGMC wastewaters
are a stand-alone category. The EPA set dry
handling systems as the technology basis for
regulation and established a zero-discharge
policy for new and existing sources generating this wastewater stream.
Bottom ash and fly ash sluice or transport
waters are also zero-discharge streams under
the updated ELG rule. Fly and bottom ash
transport systems will need to be converted to
the EPA technology basis options of dry handling or closed loop systemsor use other alternatives that do not necessitate discharge of
ash transport wastewaters. However, the EPA
did allow for ash transport waters to be reused
within the plant on a very limited basis as an

alternative to system conversion. Plants that


reuse ash transport wastewaters as FGD scrubber makeup water may continue to do so.
Its worth pointing out that the zero-discharge restriction for bottom ash systems
only applies to those conveyance systems
where water is the conveying medium for the
ash. It doesnt apply to bin overflow or bunker wastewater from bottom ash drag chain
conveyance systems; this wastewater is still
classified as a low-volume waste stream under the updated rule (Table 1).
For IGCC wastewaters (like sour waters
and grey waters) produced during the generation of synthesis gas from coal or petroleum
coke fuels, the EPA has identified thermal
evaporation equipment as the technology basis. Most existing IGCC facilities already use
this technology to handle their wastewater
streams, so the EPAs technology basis selection isnt a big surprise. The updated ELGs
set numerical limits on mercury, selenium,
arsenic, and total dissolved solids (TDS) content for any discharges of the treated wastewater stream (see Table 2 for a summary of
the numerical limits) from any existing generators, as well as any new generators constructed in the future.
With the EPAs issuance of the CCR rule

December 2015 POWER

earlier this year and its ultimate classification


of CCR materials under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D,
the question of whether to close CCR impoundments has been a hot topic at almost
every coal-fired power plant. The ELG update clarifies how plants should handle treatment of their leachate, enabling plants to
finalize compliance or closure plans.
The update does not change the technology basis for treatment of CCR leachate
from existing sources. Leachate from existing CCR impoundments and landfills can
continue to be treated via impoundment and
is regulated with numerical limits for total
suspended solids (TSS) and oil and grease
(O&G) only. But leachate from new CCR
landfills or impoundments constructed after
the rule implementation date will have to
meet additional numerical limits for arsenic
and mercury prior to discharge to a surface
water or POTW. And the EPA has established
chemical precipitation systems as the technology basis for new CCR leachate sources.
FGD wastewater is the most complex
section of the new rule. As plants develop
compliance plans, this area will likely demand the greatest level of engineering design and planning. FGD wastewaters include
www.powermag.com

not only purge waters but also liquid waste


streams generated from any associated solids separation or dewatering processes. The
rule includes big changes to requirements for
treatment prior to discharge of this wastewater stream for both new and existing sources.
Looking back to the June 2013 draft version of the rule, the EPA went in a different
direction for a couple of areas. After reviewing
comments, the numerical limits proposed for
wastewaters treated by chemical precipitation
followed by biological treatment were adjusted to be more consistent with results users are
currently achieving. Additionally, the new rule
also changed to require different technology
bases for new versus existing sources. Based
on investigations, the EPA has established
the technology basis for setting standards for
FGD wastewater from existing generators as
chemical precipitation followed by biological
treatment to meet the numerical limits specified for mercury, arsenic, selenium, and nitrate
plus nitrite (see Table 2).
For existing sources, the EPA has also offered an optional incentive program. The incentive extends the ELG compliance deadline
to December 31, 2023, regardless of permit
renewal date for any existing FGD wastewater generators who voluntarily accept a more
stringent technology basis for treatment of
FGD wastewatervapor-compression evaporationand agree to be subjected to numerical
limits for mercury, arsenic, selenium, and TDS
commensurate with this treatment technology.
Vapor-compression evaporation also was
selected as the technology basis for regulation of FGD wastewater for any new sources
constructed after the implementation date.
So those same numerical limits specified for
the incentive program will be mandatory for
new generators of FGD wastewater. Though
the limits and technology basis may seem
extreme, if a plant has other stringent water
quality based effluent limitations (WQBELs)
as part of its NPDES permits, the incentive,
coupled with the additional time to comply,
might make sense.

The Fine Print


The six focus areas addressed above cover
the new rules headlines. Now for the details
like legacy wastewaters, anti-circumvention
provisions, and fundamentally different factors (FDF).
Legacy Wastewaters. Plants grappling
with decisions related to the future of their
CCR impoundments, as well as plants slated
for decommissioning, have been concerned
about regulation of legacy wastewaters. According to the EPA, legacy wastewaters are
waters generated prior to the new rules

the plants permit update, and stored onsite

(usually in an impoundment). Legacy wastewaters wont be subject to the new ELG


rule, which comes as good news for many
plants. Legacy wastewaters generated prior
to the effective date of the new permit (such
as FGD purge or ash transport waters stored
in an impoundment) will only be subject to
the discharge limits in place at the time they
were generated. This provision significantly
helps environmentally conscious plants that
have chosen to close CCR impoundments or
decommission older coal-fired units.
Anti-circumvention Provisions. Many
plants have made great strides in optimizing plant water usage over the past decade.
So when the draft rules anti-circumvention
provisions (which were aimed at preventing
plants from using dilution as an aid in meeting proposed numerical limits) minimized
opportunities for reuse and recycle of certain
wastewaters, many plants were concerned the
provisions would undo a lot of progress. In
the final version, the EPA eliminated some of
42

the restrictions, including mandatory internal


monitoring points.
To avoid massive in-plant flow segregation for combined wastewaters (such as FGD
wastewater combined with cooling water in
a plant outfall) the new limits can instead be
applied in a mass-based fashion, calculated
by multiplying flow by concentration limits.
A combined waste stream formula to adjust
limits to account for the dilution factor can be
established with regulatory agencies. But no
internal recycle of zero-discharge wastewater
streams is permitted under the final rule, with
the exception of ash transport waters used as
FGD scrubber makeup.
For wastewater streams with numeric
limitations under the new rule, the numerical
limitations were determined using long-term
average effluent values and variability factors
to account for variations in treatment system
performance. The long-term average values
used by the EPA are listed in tables as part
of the preamble to the final rule and were not

meant to be interpreted as permit limits but as


a proposed design basis for specification of
treatment systems to help plants consistently
meet real numerical limits.
Fundamentally Different Factors. If
your plant has significantly different systems
from those used to establish the ELG rule
such as a once-through FGD systemyour
plant can apply for an FDF variance. This
means the EPA, working together with the
state, can set different standards for the ELG
rule on an individual existing discharger if its
system design is fundamentally different from
the design types used to establish the ELGs.
Buy-in from the state and other permitting authorities, as well as the EPA, is necessary for
a variance to be granted, but its an option to
pursue if your system design is unique.

The Clocks Ticking: Take These


Five Next Steps for Compliance
Starting now, plants have a minimum of three
years to meet the new rulesand a lot to accomplish in that time. The EPA requires that
all plants come into compliance with the new
rule within the time period of November 1,
2018, through December 31, 2023 (Figure 1).
Existing sources that are direct dischargers
are required to meet best available technology (BAT) economically achievable limits.
These new limitations apply on the date that
a permit is issued to a discharger, following
the effective date of the new rule, but no later
than December 31, 2023. The rule does not
build in any implementation period for meeting these limitations.
Pretreatment standards for indirect dischargers are self-implementing, meaning
that they apply directly, without the need for
a permit. In the new rule, pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES) must be
met by November 1, 2018.
The requirements for new source direct
and indirect discharges provide no extended
implementation period. New source performance standards (NSPS) apply when any
NPDES permit is issued to a new source direct discharger, following the effective date
of this rule. Pretreatment standards for new
sources (PSNS) apply to any new source discharging to a POTW, as of the effective date
of the final rule.
The timeline for compliance will vary depending on whether a plant discharges to a
surface water source or a POTW, and if its a
direct discharger when the facilitys NPDES
permit is scheduled for renewal. So over
the next three years, your plant may have
to make decisions, engineer a solution, and
implement a design (see sidebar).
Not sure how to get started? Here are five
basic steps your plant should take now to
meet the timeline for compliance.

or chlorides) added to their NPDES permits to
protect the receiving watershed.
4. Look into Reuse/Recycling Opportunities and Other Ways to Eliminate or
Reduce Wastewater Streams. With the

1. Evaluate the Impact of All Regulations. Over the past few years, the EPA has

issued additional regulations for CCR, Clean


Water Act Section 316(b), and flue gas emissions. Though the EPA did make attempts to
coordinate the implementation schedules of
both the CCR and the ELG rules as promised,
there are other regulations, both federal and
local, that can weigh heavily into the decisionmaking process. A plants best bet is to ensure
evaluations are done holistically by considering the impact of all regulationswater, solid
waste, and air relatedto ensure the most
cost-effective and most practical solutions are
put in place to meet the facilitys challenges.
2. Keep Your Plants Total Current Water/
Wastewater Picture in View. To determine

the best solutions for the future and evaluate


how changes will affect your plant, you need
to completely understand its current water and
wastewater picture. If you havent already done
so, update your plant water and mass balances,
determine any data gaps, conduct sampling and
monitoring as required to fill in the gaps, and

develop a complete plant picture.


Its crucial to consider low-load or transitional operating cases in addition to evaluating the plant at baseload operations. Also,
assess your current wastewater treatment.
Consider whether this equipment will meet
the new required effluent limits as is, or with
a few upgrades. Knowing where your plant
stands will help you quantitatively evaluate
reuse opportunities and the need for new
treatment equipment solutions.
3. Weigh the Benefits of the Incentive
Program. The incentive program comes with

an extended compliance timeline for plants


that voluntarily choose to treat their FGD
wastewater with a vapor-compression evaporation system and accept stringent numerical
discharge limitations on mercury, arsenic, selenium, and TDS. As part of the solution evaluation process, it may be worth considering
the pros and cons, and calculating the capital
and operating costs associated with this alternative. This particularly applies to plants that
expect to have more stringent WQBELs on the

or evaporation system.

installation of millions of dollars of new
treatment equipment.

EPAs revisions to the anti-circumvention


provisions in the final version of the rule,
more opportunities remain for plants to minimize the impact of the rule through internal
recycling and reuse.
Before you begin engineering a wastewater treatment system, analyze your plants
water and mass balance, and see if there are
low-cost opportunities to reuse wastewater
streams or minimize flow rates to reduce
your treatment volumes. Looking at the water
and mass balance as a whole is important
dont narrow your focus to only the wastewater streams that fall under the new EPA
regulations. At most coal-fired power plants,
particularly ones that have been in operation for decades, there are multiple streams
pumped or drained to different locations,
leaving many opportunities for the plant to
optimize operations and minimize its water/
wastewater footprint. A creative design could
save you a lot of money.
5. Lock in Your Plan of Attack. With
some facilities only having three years to
comply, review your NPDES permit renewal
dates and establish a site-specific timeline
and plan of attack. Now is the time to act.

Start off on the Right Foot


Three years may sound like plenty of time, but
theres a lot to get done, and each plants solution will be unique. Although it is likely that
the rule will be challenged, theres no guarantee that time extensions will be granted.
An effective plan for compliance starts with
plant and system assessment, detailed design,
and procuring the right equipment. Then the
plan gets put into action with equipment installation, commissioning, testing, and tuning.
So know the ELG rule and figure out how
it affects your plant, then look at your plant
holistically to identify what your plant really
needsand dont be afraid to get creative.
Itll take the right team to get all the parts
and pieces working together, a team that
really understands power plant processes,
wastewater treatment, and the regulatory environment. Get the right mix of engineers,
equipment suppliers, and constructors by
your side, and your plant can find a smart,
economical solution thatll set you up for
compliance.

GENERATION TRANSITIONS

Seminole Electric Cooperative


Sees Big Challenges from Clean
Power Plan
Floridas Seminole Electric Cooperative faces what may be the most difficult
generation transition in the nation as a result of the Obama administrations Clean Power Plan. One of the nations largest generation and transmission rural electric cooperatives, Seminole owes its origins and its
current position primarily to a single coal-fired plant.
Kennedy Maize
hen electric utility veteran Lisa D.
Johnson took control of Floridas
Seminole Electric Cooperative in
mid-2013 as CEO and general manager (see
sidebar), she quickly faced a daunting task.
As she assumed management of the large
generation and transmission (G&T) cooperative based in Tampa, Johnson inherited a
system built largely on coal.
Soon after she took the job, a major part of
her management task became guiding the cooperatives response to the upcoming Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations
aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions
from existing coal-fired power plants.

An Existential Challenge?
It could be an existential challenge for Seminole. In an August interview, a Tampa Bay
Times reporter asked Johnson, Could costs
get so high that the cooperative would be
forced to disband or be sold? She answered,
Its too soon to know if that is an option or
one that we would pursue. But it is a potential outcome for the cooperative.
In congressional testimony this spring,
Johnson told the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Seminole, in particular,
would suffer substantial harm as a result of
EPAs proposal, a reality that EPA has failed
to, but must, address. The final EPA rule, issued this fall, doesnt provide Johnson with
much additional clarity about how it will
affect her organization, although the overall
thrust remains negative.
Were still sorting through the details,
she said in a POWER interview in October.
Its a little bit early to make definitive conclusions, she said. We are certainly looking
toward the state and whatever the state of
Florida plans to do in terms of issuing a [state
implementation plan] or not.
So far, she said, Seminole has not heard
44

from the state about what course it will


choose to take under the EPA plan, which
relies on the strictures of the 1990 Clean Air
Act amendments. The Clean Air Act puts
states in control of implementing federal air
policy. That may not be the best way to meet
the Obama administrations goal of combatting the threat of global warming, because the
problem far transcends state borders. But it
appears to be the only policy tool available to
the administration, given the failure of Congress to enact new air legislation. Johnson
said she is confident Florida will let folks
know when it has figured out the direction
the state government wants to take.
If Florida refuses to offer a state implementation plan, a course some Republican
opponents of the Obama plan are advocating, then the EPA would impose a federal
implementation plan on the state. Floridas
Republican governor, Rick Scott, hasnt
made his views known on whether the state
will submit an implementation plan or face
off with the EPA.
A major problem facing both Seminole
and the state is not knowing whether the
EPA plan will actually go into effect, might
be overturned by the courts, or might be
scrapped when a new administration comes
to Washington in 2017. Given the uncertainties, Seminole, said Johnson, is going to
have to put some significant effort toward
planning and decision-making. It does create
a question of how much of that effort could
be put aside if there are changes to the rule.
But Seminole must begin planning for the future, while keeping its options open.

Coal-Heavy by Federal Mandate


Seminole, one of the nations largest G&T
cooperatives, serves 1.4 million retail utility
customers through nine distribution co-ops in
42 Florida counties. Its heart and soul is foswww.powermag.com

sil energy generationmostly coal, followed


by natural gasand 350 miles of transmission lines to deliver its power to the retail
distribution co-ops.
Seminoles ties to coal are tight. In 1948,
several Florida rural electric distribution cooperatives incorporated Seminole to allow
them to aggregate their demand and seek
lower-cost electric power as a G&T cooperative sometime in the future. Seminole
was a paper organization until the 1973 Arab
oil crisis. That earth-shaking development
prompted the board of the virtual organization to get physical. The distribution cooperatives that run the G&T decided to turn it
into a real G&T utility, selling power it generated at cost to member retail cooperatives
and wheeling power at cost.
The G&T utility initially looked at oilfired generation. That was a dead end. Congress forestalled oil generation with the 1978
Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act,
which banned new oil- or gas-fired electric
generating plants. That left coal as the only
item on the menu.
Johnson said she feels that Seminole is a
victim of contradictory federal energy policy
over many years. She said, Seminole decided
to build a coal-fired plant because it did not
have another viable option. Given the provisions of the 1978 law, Seminole had no way to
meet its growing load other than coal.
With a prevention of significant deterioration air permit from the EPA in 1979,
Seminole began building two 650-MW coalfired units in Palatka, in northeast Florida on
the St. Johns River. The plant went into service in 1984. Over three decades of service,
according to the co-op, the Seminole Generating Station (SGS) has had an average capacity factor of 80%, making it the primary
work-horse in Seminoles system (Figure
2). It is, Johnson said, a relatively new plant,

to the job of CEO and general manager
from Old Dominion Electric Cooperative
(ODEC), a large generation and transmission cooperative in Glen Allen, Va.,
where she was senior vice president and
chief operating officer.
When she joined ODEC in 2006, Johnson had 11 years experience with the

business columnist Robert Trigaux wrote,
Seminole Electric said it dropped its coal
plans because regulatory changes afoot suggest a growing backlash against coal as too
polluting, even with the latest smokestack
technology. Seminole Electric generates the
third-largest amount of electricity in Florida
behind Florida Power & Light and Progress
Energy Florida.

Adding Gas
Seminoles other generating asset is the 810MW Richard J. Midulla station, a gas-fired
facility in south-central Florida (Figure 3).
This plant consists of a 500-MW combined
cycle generator that came into service in 2002
(operating at a 50% to 70% capacity factor)
and 310 MW of combustion turbine peaking
capacity added in 2006 (five Pratt & Whitney
aero-derivative combustion turbines).

Challenges Posed by Closing Coal


Plant
Under the EPAs proposed plan for carbon
dioxide reductions at fossil plants under the
Clean Air Act, Johnson told Congress in April,
Seminoles coal-fired power plant will be
forced to close prematurely, resulting in job
losses for hundreds of plant workers and contractors and a giant hit to the tax base of the
county where it is located. The layoffs would
extend beyond the plant to a local gypsum
wallboard plant that turns the plants scrubber
sludge into building material.
Johnsons judgment hasnt changed fundamentally with the final rule, she said, although
the EPA plan has added some flexibility lacking in the first iteration. But the details remain
somewhat unclear, as is the states approach to
compliance (or rejection).
In her April congressional testimony, Johnson said, EPA projects that Seminole would
lose at least 20 years of remaining life of its
coal-fired units, and operate its gas-fired facility at a substantially reduced capacity; the
45

GENERATION TRANSITIONS
cost of these losses, in addition to the cost of replacement generation, would be borne by its members and their consumers. She told
POWER that SGS has a useful life of 30 more years. Also, the G&T
has debt that goes out almost that long, based on the incremental
investments in the plant. The systems debt totals some $900 million
and carries a solid A3 rating from Moodys.
According to Johnson, the loans tied to the Seminole coal plant
construction and upgrades account for more than 75% of Seminoles
total outstanding debt. If the co-op had to shut down the coal plant
before the end of its useful life to meet EPA rules, she said, The
member cooperatives would be burdened with paying off the debt but
with no revenues to support the payments.
In her testimony, Johnson noted a particular irony. Seminole
built SGS in 1984 pursuant to the requirements of the federal Power
Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978, which forbade new power
plants from using oil or natural gas and encouraged the use of coal.
That law has long-since been repealed. The federal government, she
said, left Seminole with only coal to meet its growing demand for
power and the legal obligation to serve its customers. That was federal
government energy policy. As a result, she said, Seminole reasonably expected that its coal-fired generation . . . would not be regulated
out of the market (by the very government that required it to build a
coal-fired plant) during its useful life.
Closing Seminoles plant could also cause congestion in Floridas
transmission system, Johnson said. The shift of the generating mix
to gas dominance would upset the topology of Floridas unique peninsular grid. Regional studies performed to evaluate the dispatch of
natural gasfired plants versus coal in an uneconomic fashion resulted
in severe transmission congestion throughout the Florida region, she
said. The bulk transmission system was designed around baseload

coal generation. Dispatching out of economics (such as making todays intermediate-class units run at baseload) would cause power
swings to flow across transmission lines/corridors that were not designed to transport baseload generation.
Can Seminole import power from existing, third-party generation
to solve its problems? Unlikely, said Johnson. Seminoles experience
in trying to contract with third parties via purchase power transactions
from existing generating facilities has shown on multiple occasions
that the existing transmission system interconnected to these respective facilities is congested, and it is not economically feasible.
The Tampa-based G&T buys power from the 600-MW gas-fired
Osprey plant in Auburndale, Fla., which Calpine recently sold to Duke
Energy. Seminole also had a contract for 13% of Dukes 840-MW
Crystal River nuclear plant. Duke, which inherited the long-troubled
Crystal River plant when it bought Progress Energy, decided to close
the plant in 2013.
As Johnson sees it, natural gas is the likely path forward if the coal capacity has to close prematurely. Natural gas is the most available choice,
she said, not only for coal generation replacement but new generation
down the road. Florida is about 65% dependent on natural gas today, and
the EPA plan could push that to 85% by the mid-2020s, by Seminoles
estimates. The lack of diversity of fuel sources to generate electricity is
a big concern, Johnson told the Tampa Bay Times in August.

Unanswered Questions Regarding Solar and Nuclear


What about solar in the Sunshine State? Duke in September announced it would build 3.8 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity
in Osceola County, Fla., with an online date in 2016. The investorowned utility said in a press release that the project is the first in a
strategic, long-range plan to install 35 MW of solar by 2018 and 500
MW of solar power in the state by 2024.
Would Seminole participate in that project? We are looking at
alternatives, and will certainly investigate renewables, Johnson said,
without much enthusiasm. We will take a look at solar. But the analyses Seminole has made to date, she said, dont make solar look like a
first choice for new generation. It is certainly something we will look
at. It is a technology that is on the horizon.
Seminole last March issued a request for proposals (RFP) for 2
MW of solar PV energy. The RFP called for either a co-op plant at its
Midulla gas-fired station or a Florida-based plant elsewhere to supply
the co-op through a power purchase agreement. Both options should
plan to be in operation by November 2016, according to the RFP. No
word yet on the results of the solicitation.
What about nuclear? In a Tampa Bay Times interview recently,
Johnson said, I think nuclear certainly has the potential to be part of
the conversation. As we have seen over the last decade, the challenges
of cost and size still remain and must be addressed before nuclear
comes back into the conversation.

Shifting Energy Policies


As the Seminole system confronts a still-murky EPA rule and an unknown future, Johnson noted that the G&T coop has no choice but to
begin planning a transition now. Part of the challenge is timing, she
said, recalling the 1970s energy crisis and the plethora of policies that
emerged, aimed at using Americas most abundant resource, coal, to
generate power. Weve been through this before, she said. Federal
energy directive pushed generators in one direction, toward coal. It
now aims energy policy in an opposite direction, away from coal,
penalizing those who built under the terms of the old federal regime.
Those are the kinds of things that cause me to pause and look back
over history.

Electric Motor and Transformer


Maintenance Best Practices
Motors and transformers are some of the most reliable pieces of equipment
installed at power plants. However, inadequate maintenance can result in
trouble. While regular testing and skilled evaluation can help catch problems before equipment fails, new technology is also available that allows
real-time monitoring and performance trending.
Aaron Larson

t is true that electric motors and transformers are some of the most dependable
pieces of equipment installed at power
plants. They can, in many cases, withstand
a high level of mistreatment while continuing to operate reliably. It is for exactly that
reason, however, that the equipment often
does not receive the maintenance attention
that it deserves.
When electrical equipment fails, it usually
does so quickly and catastrophically. Doug
Ostafichuk, product line leadermotor and
generator repair services for GEs Industrial
Solutions business, likened motor condition
to the health of a person. He said a welltreated and maintained motor is likely to
operate continuously and reliably for a long
period of time, but treat it poorly or abuse it,
and although it may not immediately show
outward issues, its life and performance will
be degraded.

tant tools, see Predictive Maintenance That


Works in POWERs November 2011 and
May 2012 issues respectively.)
Thermographywhich tends to be underutilizedcan detect problems such as
failing bearings, misalignments, dry couplings, high resistance, loose electrical connections, and phase imbalances. Measuring
vibration intensity can provide valuable
information about alignment and balance,
condition of bearings, and the effect on the
machine of resonances from housings, piping, and other structures. Both tools offer effective, nonintrusive methods of monitoring
motor condition.

Stepping Up Your Motor


Management System
The most successful plants go beyond these
two monitoring techniques to ensure the
health of their operating motor inventory.
Ostafichuk suggested that employing some
of the following processes could be part of
the next step.
Appoint a Motors Champion. Identify and assign a person to manage the motors program. The individual should be
tasked with ensuring that proper operation,
maintenance, and service practices outlined
by the original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) are followed.

diagnostic system, visible on the near end of this transformer to the left of the fire extinguisher,
report valuable data, such as online dissolved gas-in-oil analysis, moisture, thermal parameters,

Starting a Motor Reliability


Program
Although many power plants have extensive motor management processes in
place, there are still some facilities that
dont. Often, budget limitations are the
problem, but Ostafichuk suggested that
there are some simple steps that a plant
can take to improve reliability without
breaking the bank.
To get started, a risk analysis should be
conducted on all operating motors to determine which machines are critical to plant
operation. Once identified, baseline data
should be collected to determine current
condition and to identify if any immediate
repairs are warranted.
Some of the most important tests happen
to be some of the easiest, fastest, and most
economical to conduct. The two at the top
of the list are thermography and vibration
analysis. (For a primer on these two impor48

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE


Procure an Inventory of Spares. Maintaining an inventory of spare motors for
critical machines allows non-emergency
maintenance of offline equipment. This can
be coupled with a predictive maintenance
system to ensure refurbishment is planned
and carried out at optimal intervals.
Conduct Periodic OEM Inspections.

It is important to have OEM engineers or


maintenance specialists inspect important
motors. The experts usually have a detailed
understanding of the design, access to a
vast historical database, the ability to recognize problems based on experience with
like equipment, and they can identify what
performance and reliability improvements
have been added since the machine was
manufactured.
Operate within Design Specifications.

Confirming that equipment is being operated within the original design expectations
can pay dividends. Damage to insulation and
components may not be immediately apparent, but it is a proven fact that machines operated beyond design conditions do not last
as long as machines run within operating parameters defined by the OEM.
Maintain Adequate Cooling Airflow.

Motors and generators create a lot of heat

that must be dissipated to prevent damage to


machine components. Operators should ensure that clean, uncontaminated air is flowing
through plant motors. In humid climates, the
air should be conditioned and space heaters
should always be turned on when machines
are turned off to prevent condensation. If
particulate concentration in the air is heavy,
proper filtration must be used and maintained. For machines with totally enclosed
air-to-air cooling or totally enclosed waterto-air cooling systems, the condition and
performance of the cooler must be monitored
and maintained. Contamination of the cooling medium is a major cause of premature
motor failures.

Tracking Transformer Performance


The easiest way to determine how oil-filled
transformers are performing is to track oil
quality and gassing. When a transformers
insulation system is overstressed, gases are
produced that dissolve in the oil. By analyzing the dissolved gas in the oil, developing
faults can be identified. At a minimum, annual oil sampling should be conducted for
this purpose. Most oil testing companies offer trending services for their customers and
can point out potential trouble as it arises.

John Engstrom, senior product and sales


leadertransformer services for GEs Industrial Solutions business, said that there
are monitoring systems available today with
the ability to measure moisture in oil, combustible gases, loads, and temperatures. One
example is GEs Kelman TRANSFIX transformer gas analyzer, which can measure nine
gasses and moisture; it also has sensors for
various other inputs. These systems can be
expensive ($40,000 or more), so they are
mainly installed on generator step-up or other large, critical transformers.
Another example is Siemens transformer
monitoring and diagnostic system (TMDS).
An expert from Siemens Asset Services business told POWER that the TMDS system
combines a variety of engineering models
with advanced techniques of statistical learning to go beyond simple condition measurements with prefixed limits. The system
(Figure 1) turns the data into actionable information by translating combustible dissolved
gas, bushing capacitance deviation, moisture,
and other sensor measured data into diagnostic and prognostic messaging.
Smaller, less-complex systems are available to monitor noncritical transformers.

Hydrogen is generated with low-intensity
discharges such as partial discharges and
very-low-level intermittent arcing. With
this system installed, however, it is still important to conduct annual oil sampling and
infrared testing to ensure no problems are
being overlooked.

Transformer Testing and Upgrade


Solutions
In general, transformer manufacturers recom-

mend testing transformers every five years.


Frankly, if there are no issues with gassing
or degraded oil quality, there isnt much reason to test transformers outside of occasional
infrared testing, which can identify hotspots
caused by loose electrical connections or
inadequate shielding. But if a transformer
is taken down for service, some things that
can be checked include the transformers insulation resistance, power factor, and sweep
frequency response analysis. Baseline data
can be useful for trending purposes. Engstrom said that many plants also perform a

turns-ratio test, but he considers it virtually


meaningless because the transformer wont
operate with shorted turns.
Some type of system event causes most
problems identified through testing. A generator surge, a lightning strike, or a bushing
failure can all trigger transformer problems,
but even more obscure things, like harmonics, can result in damage. Engstrom said lowvoltage testing can identify problems caused
by these types of events, but there are cases
in which high-voltage testing, such as in-

duced testing, may be required to determine
if a transformers insulation system has been
compromised either from damage or from
contamination.
Portable, flatbed trailer-transported induced
testing systems can be brought to transformer
sites. These systems completely stress transformer insulation systems in a nondestructive
manner to determine if any problems exist. As
you can imagine, this is a costly test to perform, so most utilities only perform this test
on large or critical transformers.
The installation of fiber-optic temperature
sensors in the windings is not a new upgrade,
yet Engstrom said that most transformers he
sees coming in for repair do not have these
systems. These sensors provide a more accurate measurement than winding temperature
indicator systems that use top oil temperature
and simulated winding hot spot temperatures.
With more accurate sensors, cooling system
devices, such as pumps and fans, can respond
quicker to changing loads, which can protect
transformers from damage.

Other Electrical Maintenance


Most comprehensive reliability programs
schedule visual, mechanical, and electrical
assessments based on OEM guidelines. Frank
Donaldson, power distribution systems technical expert for Schneider Electric, suggested

the National Electrical Manufacturers Associationwhich means that the enclosures


were constructed for either indoor or outdoor
use and designed to provide a degree of protection against water ingress, among other
thingscorrosion had occurred due to poor
maintenance practices, which had allowed
rain to leak into the component.
At the same facility, a downstream bolted
pressure switch failed to open as designed because it hadnt been serviced or operated since
it was first installed more than 23 years earlier.
In that instance, the contacts seized, causing the
operating mechanism to fail. According to Donaldson, the lack of an effective maintenance program resulted in liquidated damages exceeding
$1 million in that incident alone. He noted that
the environment in which equipment operates is
a major factor in determining how often maintenance should occur (Figure 3).

Refurbishing Motors
As part of any good motor management program, machines should be refurbished at a

that several important tasks can only be performed during planned outages.
Poor or inadequate maintenance leads to
the majority of electric apparatus problems,
Donaldson said. Developing a program creates opportunities to put eyes on key equipment and exercise isolations points, such as
upstream circuit breakers, bolted pressure
switches, and fused disconnects.
Exercising these types of components as
part of a plants routine maintenance program
can increase reliability. Donaldson recalled
one example in which a facility was forced
to call for emergency assistance as a result of
improper electrical maintenance. In that particular instance, a 2,000-amp feeder breaker
tripped because of water damage (Figure 2).

for training and qualification. On the other
hand, small shops can have cost advantages
and some offer a more personal touch.
Ostafichuk said operators should compare
offerings and choose the option that suits
their service level requirements. The following factors are worth considering.
The Service Center. Does the shop have
the equipment necessary to efficiently and effectively complete needed repairs? Evaluate
the shops cleanliness and equipment conditionit is unlikely that repair personnel will
treat a customers equipment better than they
treat their own (Figure 4).
The People. Does the company offer continuous training programs to keep employees
abreast of best practices and developments
www.powermag.com

within the industry? The shops safety and


quality control records can help you assess
performance. Low employee turnover can
also be an indicator that the shop is doing
something right.
The Processes. Are there tightly controlled methods to track work as it proceeds
from initial inspection to final delivery? Electric motors can be similar to black boxes;
once work is complete, it is not easy to see
what was done on the inside. The best way
to ensure that proper and accurate repair has
been completed is to ensure that suitable
documentation has been signed off by technicians who actually performed the tasks,
with oversight from the technical staff or engineers responsible for the job (Figure 5).
The Proposal. Are you comparing apples
to apples? Evaluating proposals from different organizations can be challenging. It is important to ensure that the service, parts, and
processes being supplied are comparable. The
specification provided must be strong enough
that the customer can feel confident in receiving the desired level of service at the expected
price without excessive change requests during the repair. It may not be possible to identify every potential problem during the proposal
phase, but the repair team should be technically strong enough to recognize the majority
of trouble. Large differences between proposals should raise a red flag.
The Parts. Where are repair parts sourced?
There is a lot of variability in electrical repair components and materials. Qualification
and verification of vendors, suppliers, and
materials used is a critical factor to a successful repair project. Changing component

It is in everyones best interest for the
manufacturer to be notified whenever someone discovers equipment suspected of being
counterfeit. Most manufacturers have the
resources to investigate the fraud and put an
end to the activity. In some cases, counterfeiting operations fund some sort of other illegal activities. Grace said organized crime,
gangs, or even terrorists could profit from
these schemes.

properties from an OEM design and quality


to something different can be an experiment
that you may want to avoid.

Counterfeits
Tom Grace, brand protection manager at Eaton
Electrical SectorAmericas, emphasized the
importance of purchasing authentic parts. He
said that easily more than half of the counterfeit products that he receives and tests have
some sort of critical performance failure.
Independent resellers, people outside of
the typical manufacturers distribution channels, or people who deal in used or reconditioned equipment are typically the ones who
find they are more exposed to counterfeit
goods, Grace said.
The problem is that fraudulent parts are
not held to the same quality control standards. If a motor starter or circuit breaker is
constructed using will-fit or knockoff parts
that have inferior materials, the risk of failure
52

increases substantially. A starter often controls a more sophisticated motor that is much
more expensive than the starter itself, so a
failure could cost significantly more than the
cost avoided by purchasing a cheaper starter.
The same could be said for a counterfeit circuit breaker that fails to trip.
We have an electronic tool for verifying authenticity of molded-case breakers up
to 400 amps, Grace said. We have nuclear
qualifiers that use the tool quite extensively,
so even though they source directly from
Eaton, we find them authenticating every
product that they receive.
Although a lot of counterfeit parts originate in China, Grace said they could come
from almost anywhere. He recalled a case
in which an individual was using scavenged
parts and pieces to fraudulently recondition
circuit breakers in West Virginia. The person
bought covers for the breakers that matched
an upgraded model and installed them so the

Thermal cycling of transformers due to loading and/or ambient changes will eventually
cause physical changes to the insulation, gaskets, and other accessories. Some experts
believe that periodic power factor measurement is the single most valuable indication
of a transformers overall insulation health,
including oil, paper, and bushings. The value
and/or the rate of value change can indicate if
something inside the transformer is malfunctioning that could lead to premature failure.
The heads-up could mean the difference between a one- or two-day repair outage versus several weeks offline for replacement, if
a spare is readily available. (Lead times for
large power transformers are approximately
one year.)
When a transformer requires repair, Engstrom suggested that managers consider upgrades based on current and potential needs.
Some possible improvements include the following:

Increasing load capacity


Adding more cooling
Installing fiber optics
Replacing aging components, such as
bushings, gauges, fans, and pumps
Improving short circuit strength
Installing monitoring devices
Reducing losses

According to Engstrom, GE has the capability to repair transformers from 5 MVA to


500 MVA and up to 525 kV at four facilities
located across the U.S. and one in Canada. It
can also perform rewinds up to 1,000 MVA at
customer sites. The service includes building
erection (Figure 6), rigging (Figure 7), disassembly, and performing all required Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) testing.

SOLAR POWER

The Future of Load Control for


Solar PV
Managing the output from multiple solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has become a challenge for grid managers. Though that is often used as an argument against greater solar penetration, several solutions for solar load
control are available and growing in flexibility.
Thomas W. Overton, JD

olar power has taken off the training


wheels. Once an afterthought, solar
photovoltaic (PV) generation has been
one of the major sources of new capacity for
several years. According to statistics from the
Solar Energy Industries Association, through
the first half of 2015, 40% of all new generating capacity added in the U.S. was solar
PV. Cumulative installed capacity passed 20
GW in the second quarter, with that total expected to pass 22 GW by end-of-year. With
prices continuing their downward trajectory
across the utility, commercial, and residential
sectors, that growth is expected to continue
whether or not the federal Investment Tax
Credit is renewed.
But all that new capacity has meant new
concerns for grid management. Grids that
had little trouble absorbing the output from
a few small PV systems are being challenged
by generation from dozens or even hundreds
of systems reaching up to megawatt scale
(Figure 1). That has meant a growing need
for load control solutions for solar PV systems to allow them to operate efficiently and
profitably without causing voltage fluctuations and other problems for the grid.

former and the less likelihood were going to


cause voltage fluctuations.
The issue, Colavito said, is less with
ramping up, which can be managed easily,
than with ramping down suddenly when a
cloud passes over or some other issue causes
generation to suddenly drop. Controlling
ramp-down so that it doesnt cause voltage
fluctuations is not technically difficult from
an engineering standpoint, but it does come
with some other challenges.
There are two ways to do ramp-rate control: Either replace the lost generation with
storage or other alternate means of generating
power, or use predictive analytics to anticipate ramp-down, and reduce your generation
in advance so that the drop is not as steep.
The problem with these approaches, Colavito said, is that they can get complicated
and expensive. Storage is not cost-effective
when used purely for ramp-rate control, and

predictive modeling is still on the cutting


edge, especially when working with short
time scales. A better method would be operating your system in a way that voltage fluctuations are intrinsically limited.
It turns out that there is such an approach:
operating with a non-unity power factor.
The power factor (PF) of an AC electrical system is the ratio of real power flowing
to the load to apparent power in the circuit.
At unity, the ratio is 1, and all things being
equal, utilities prefer operating at unity because it keeps transmission losses to a minimum. At PFs below 1, more current is needed
to perform the same amount of work.
But operating a generating system at nonunity PF has an important benefit for solar
PV systems: They absorb reactive power,
which keeps a lid on voltage fluctuations.
That way, as we ramp down in power output, reactive power consumption ramps down

Multiple Options
So how do you get a lot of intermittent generation on the grid without causing problems?
As with many other things in the power sector, the devil is in the details.
C.J. Colavito, director of engineering for
Standard Solar, has had a lot of experience
connecting medium-to-large commercial
PV systems to the grid. As he explained to
POWER in an interview at the Solar Power
International conference in Anaheim, Calif.,
in September, a lot depends on where your
system is located.
The proximity to the substation is an important factor for evaluating how the system
is going to affect the grid, he said, because
the closer you are to the substation, the more
firm the voltage is from the substation trans-

proportionately, and at an equal rate as the
system ramps down, and that has a dampening effect on voltage fluctuation.

2. Lack of unity. Like Standard Solars 2.5-MW solar photovoltaic plant in Cecil County, Md.
(now owned by TerraForm Power), more large commercial plants are being designed to operate at
non-unity power factors in order to dampen voltage fluctuations. Courtesy: Standard Solar

Smart Inverters
Colavito said its becoming common for large
commercial solar PV systems to operate at
fixed PFs down to 0.95, sometimes as low as
0.9, and Standard Solar has begun taking this
into account with its system design (Figure
2). Nearly all smart inverters on the market
now are capable of this kind of operation, and
string inverters used on larger systems up to 5
MW and 10 MW are adding the capability.
The manufacturers have done a really
good job of integrating a lot of really advanced smart integration features into their
inverters, which allows them to be more flexible, and its built into the inverters whether
you require it or not, he said. Were now at
a stage where its a function of the utilities
getting the ability to access and work with
these smart inverters.
Right now, these systems are capable of
a lot more functions than utilities are calling
up. Colavito likened the situation to that of a
teenager being given a Lamborghini for his
first car and leaving it in second gear.
But making non-unity work has some
tradeoffs. By definition, this sort of operation
has more apparent power than real power.
That means the system has to be designed
around that parameter.
If your inverter power is listed in kVA
[reactive power], and youre operating at
non-unity so that kW is not equal to kVA,
Colavito said, then my actual kW is going
to be less. So if my inverter set is good for 2
MVA, and Im running at 0.95, Im not going
to get 2 MW of power output.
Because of that, solar PV system engineers have to know ahead of time what utilities expect from them.
If we understand what they want to do in
terms of curtailment, power factor, or ramprate control at the beginning, its not really
a problem for us, he said. It is a problem
when its late in the game, we have a plan
in place, and now you want to introduce all
this, because it will have a financial impact
on the project performance. If we plan for it
up front, we can build in extra inverter capacity for a pretty small amount.
That means project planners and utilities
have to start working together very early on
in the process, he said, both for proper engineering and to educate the utility about what
the system is capable of.
As PV panel prices continue to fall, however, Colavito sees another method of PV
grid integration on the horizon, one that turns
some traditional power generation conventions on their head: Substantially oversizing
54

the system relative to its nameplate capacity.


I think rather than using energy storage
for grid integration, were going to be using
more really high DC-to-AC ratios, really large
amounts of PV input to smaller AC capacities,
so that fluctuation is clipped off by the inverter, resulting in more of a trapezoidal output.
While that means some generation is lost,
it results in a much flatter, higher-quality
output from the grid standpoint and much
less fluctuation, he said. The lost generation in general is often less valuable than the
flat generation below the cutoff point. Current systems are designed at about 1.3 to 1.5
DC-to-AC ratios, but Colavito expects that to
rise to 1.8 or even 2.0 before much longer.
The newest inverters are being designed to
handle these higher ratios, he said. As panel
costs fall, they become a smaller and smaller
component of the overall project costs, making this additional capacity less of a financial
issue, especially since most of the soft costs
are not affected by higher ratios.

Storage Has a Role


Still, energy storage seems destined to play a
role in solar PV load management, but it may
not be behind the meter. Daniel Girard, EPC
director for S&C Electric Co., said his company is seeing more and more utilities looking at community energy storageplacing
storage batteries in neighborhoods to help
manage output from distributed PV systems.
Community storage, he explained, can
help with volt/VAR control or essentially
serve as an uninterruptible power supply
(Figure 3). For commercial systems, though
he agreed smart inverters are an important
development, Girard said theyve seen clients combine oversizing PV plants with
storage to be able to send power out over a
longer period.
We have a client right now, who is being restricted to under 3 MW that they can
produce, so theyre going to put in energy
storage with their PV so that they can sell
power at night and in the morning. They want

to build a 6-MW plant even though they can


only sell 2.9 MW.
Girard also suggested that microgrids
hold significant future potential for balanc-

ing output from solar PV systems, combining


storage and backup generation such as microturbines. Rather than relying on the grid to
control load, a microgrid uses sophisticated

control software to shift generation and load


from PV panels, to battery storage, to microturbines, depending on customer needs and
the financial structure of the project.
He pointed to Oncors System Operating
Services Facility (POWERs 2015 Smart Grid
Award winner), which S&C helped design
and build, as one example. Though somewhat over-engineered because of its role as
a demonstration facility, the Oncor facility
demonstrates the potential microgrids have
for advanced solar PV load control.
Its a very cool project, Girard said. A
lot of what they put in is more for show, to
show people what can be done. But were
seeing similar projects like this coming up.
Darren Hammell, chief strategy officer for
Princeton Power Systems, pointed out that
setting up a microgrid is not terribly challenging with modern inverter technology. A
PV system with a connected battery requires
very little in the way of upgrades to become
a microgrid. If you can add demand reduction to that, which is really just a software
change, he said, and tie that together, you
have a microgrid now. I think a lot of people
are going to start taking those steps.

GAS-FIRED POWER

Options for Optimizing Combined


Cycle Plants
With low gas prices and renewable generation boosting demand and capacity
factors for combined cycle plants, plant operators are being called upon
to squeeze out every last megawatt from their systems. Fortunately, there
have never been more ways to do it. Here are some you may not have
thought of.

more than expected. For only the
second time ever, but also the second
time this year, gas generated more electricity
in a month in the U.S. than coal. According
to statistics from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), in July 2015 coal generated 139 TWh, while natural gas generated
140 TWh. Those statistics are a stark break
from 2014, when coal produced 150 TWh
and gas was responsible for only 114 TWh.
While coal remained in the lead with a
34.5%-to-31.1% advantage in the power
mix through July, those numbers represent a
fairly substantial departure from EIA predictions. In its Annual Energy Outlook this year,
the EIA predicted gas would reach a 31%
sharein 2040.
With gas-fired plants being called upon
to shoulder an ever-growing share of the
power mix, plant owners are looking for
more and better ways to squeeze extra performance out of their equipment, without
breaking the bank.
While gas turbine manufacturers such as
GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi-Hitachi Power
Systems offer a selection of upgrade packages to improve performance, these kinds of
choices are both expensive and require significant down time. For plants that are not in
the position to undertake costly outages and
upgrades, and those newer plants already
operating state-of-the-art equipment, there
are still some ways to tweak out a few extra
kilowatts.

Clean-Up Time
Jeff Fassett of IEM Energy Consultants, who
spoke to POWER in October, recommended
that plant operators think first about cleanliness.
Fassett pointed out that a substantial
portion of a turbines energy is used by the

compressor, which means dirty compressor


blades can have a serious effect on efficiency.
When the blades are dirty, the airflow is
more turbulent, and that will degrade performance.
Of course, the importance of maintaining inlet filters and keeping intake air clean
isnt a novel idea. Poor-quality inlet air
can also lead to blade erosion and corrosion of turbine components, both of which
will hurt efficiency. One problem is that the
effects of poor-quality air are cumulative:
Though cleaning can address blade fouling
to some extent, restoring original turbine
performance is typically not possibleand
erosion can only be addressed by replacement. Thus, it behooves turbine operators
to keep air quality as high as possible from
initial startup.
But Fassett said the solution he recommends isnt one operators often take:
Swapping out standard ASHRAE filters for
HEPA-rated filters.
The common approach is just changing the filters more often, he said, but this
doesnt get to the root problem, which is
that lower-rated filters allow more particuwww.powermag.com

late matter into the turbine and that everything getting into the compressor that doesnt
belong there degrades both short-term and
long-term performance.
Fassett has worked with plant managers
to upgrade their turbine filters, which usually
involves a retrofit, depending on the configuration of the filter house.
A number of companies currently market gas turbine HEPA filters. Louisville,
Ky.based AAF, which has supplied HEPA
filters for more than 50 F-class turbines
worldwide, estimates that using these filters can recover 6% of the power output
normally lost to engine fouling. With HEPA
filters, time between turbine cleaning cycles can be at least 8,000 hours (Figure 1).
Though the use of HEPA filters results in
a larger pressure differential, the initial
power loss is more than compensated for
by substantially increased cleanliness and
reduced downtime.
Bill Lovejoy, chief engineer for engineering services firm NAES, concurred on the
importance of maintaining cleanliness, not
just because of impact on the turbine blades
but also because of the effects dirty filters

will have on performance.


It can catch up to you over time, and
you are really hurting yourself. You pay
for that pressure drop in your overall efficiency.

Operational Adjustments
Another performance element Fassett recommends that operators think about is the
low-load setpoints on their gas turbines
not just because of effects on the gas turbine but also the downstream effects on the
steam turbine.
When the steam turbine is operating at
low loads, you can exhaust the thermal energy before the steam reaches the final stages
and get condensation. That can cause erosion
of the turbine blades.
Fassett said low-load setpoints for the gas
turbines need to consider effects not just on
the turbines themselves but also on the rest
of the plant.

Aftermarket Add-Ons
In addition to relatively simple tweaks, there
are more sophisticated aftermarket tuning solutions that can be added to existing plants.
EthosEnergy has marketed its ECOMAX
automated combustion tuning system for several years. ECOMAX is designed to address
performance instabilities that can result from
manual tuning to maintain emissions compliance, particularly for NOx. Operating with
lean premixed flames in the combustor keeps
NOx low but can cause instability in combustion dynamics, which can damage turbine
components over time. These instabilities are
exacerbated by large ambient temperature
swingscommon in many areas where gas
is a major element of the power mix, such as
the U.S. Southwest and West Coastas well
as by fuel quality and instrument drift. When
the operating envelope strays outside the optimized range, performance will suffer and
emissions can fall out of compliance.

Using [HEPA] filters can recover 6% of


the power output normally lost to engine
fouling.
Other efficiency losses can be found and
eliminated by thinking about ways energy
may be escaping the system.
One site we worked with has an auxiliary boiler and is using it to keep vacuum
on the steam turbine generator, Fassett
said. All excess steam is being piped to
the heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG)
to keep the boilers warm, so hot restarts
are minimized. Another relatively simple
tweak is installing heat blankets to insulate
the steam turbine, which cuts down on cold
restarts, he said.

December 2015 POWER

Using real-time monitoring of combustion and emissions, the ECOMAX system


automatically tunes combustion to keep the
turbine within the optimized operational envelope (Figure 2). ECOMAX can communicate directly with the turbine or integrate
with the plants digital control system.
ECOMAX can also be used to boost performance, as necessary, with the addition
of the Tru-Curve option, which raises the
baseload fuel-air ratio while still controlling
emissions and combustion dynamics. TruCurve can be turned on and off as desired.
www.powermag.com

EthosEnergy says the ECOMAX TruCurve package can improve heat rate by
0.20% to 0.25% and boost power output by
up to 11 MW, depending on the size of the
plant.
Another, more outside-the-box upgrade
is the Turbophase compressed air peaking
power system. Offered by Jupiter, Fla.
based Powerphase, the Turbophase unit
uses a separate reciprocating engine to
add additional compression to the turbine
air inlet, without the use of steam or water injection, which can cause operational
issues. Powerphase says this system allows faster peaking response than existing
options, allowing 10% to 20% additional
peaking power capability and up to 7% heat
rate improvement, depending on the model
of turbine. (For more on Turbophase, see
Quickly Boost Your Combustion Turbine
Response in the October 2014 issue, online at powermag.com.)

Low-Load Combined Cycle


Operation
Combined cycle plants often do not operate
in combined cycle mode at low loads because
the system is optimized for baseload operation, and improper optimization can result in
damage to the heat recovery steam generator, as well as emissions violations. However,
giving up the ability to operate at low loads
can mean lost revenue.
Many of the newest models of combined
cycle plants are designed for load following
and low-load operation, but with the right
approach, some older plants can optimize
their operations for low-load generation as
well. The Electric Power Research Institute
(EPRI) recently conducted a proprietary
study determining the best ways to optimize
combined cycle operation at a plant using
GE 7FA turbines. Though proper optimization procedures will vary from plant to plant
and depend on operational profiles, the EPRI
study found that a tradeoff between lower
exhaust gas temperature and higher exhaust
flow would allow lower-load operation without damage to the HRSG and without causing NOx emissions to spike.
Making it work requires careful monitoring of NOx and CO emission levels, combustion dynamics, attemperator performance,
main steam-line superheater level, and inletguide vane position, in order to determine
the minimum generation load at the lowest
possible turbine-exhaust temperature.
Though there are trade-offs with nearly
any performance enhancement, plant operators have more options these days than
ever.

WATER TREATMENT

Water-Stressed Regions Provide


Proving Grounds for Advanced ZLD
Systems
Zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) water treatment is already required in some parts
of the world, and the experience gained in those areas with new technologies may help power generators in other regions evaluate their options as
regulations or resource issues make ZLD increasingly important.
John Tracy
n water-stressed regions outside the U.S.,
power producers and other industrial water users are incorporating higher levels of
water reuse, some to the point of zero liquid
discharge (ZLD), due to heightened regulatory pressures and for economic reasons. In
China, new power plant and chemical plant
project approvals require inclusion of ZLD
water treatment technology as a result of
directives in the Chinese governments 12th
Five Year Plan. In India, based on the successful implementation of ZLD requirements
on industrial plants in the southern state of
Tamil Nadu, other regions of the country are
introducing water reuse and ZLD requirements for power producers and refineries. In
both countries, state-led technical agencies
have taken on the role of guiding companies
toward best available technologies to solve
wastewater problems and to develop water
reuse and ZLD capabilities.
The steps taken by China and India provide examples for U.S. industrial water users,
power producers in particular, to evaluate the
newest methods of high-recovery water treatment as they plan their paths to compliance
with more stringent water regulations.

er. Additionally, the Financial Times in 2014


reported on 18 coal-to-chemical projects under construction in China, with a total of 54
in the pipeline for possible construction.
Chinas water treatment design institutes,
which are consultants and technology decision-makers on the wastewater process technologies for these projects, have sought out
best-in-class technologies for reducing the
energy consumption and cost of wastewater
pretreatment, brine concentration, and final
crystallization of salts for disposal or resale.
They have been early adopters of advanced

technologies such as forward osmosis (FO)


for high-recovery treatment of waste streams
at lower capital cost and energy consumption
than traditional, evaporative technologies.
In fact, the treatment trains most commonly
recommended by the design institutes for
adoption in new ZLD projects have used
either multi-effect evaporation for the brine
concentration step or FO for the brine concentration step, as shown in Figure 1.
In coal power and coal-to-chemical plants
in China the typical wastewater streams treated to ZLD are flue gas desulfurization (FGD)

Chinas Focus on Industrial ZLD


As China builds out infrastructure to further
exploit its massive coal reserves, it is incorporating technologies to curb the increase of
toxic gas and particulate emissions via SOx
and NOx abatement, and is mandating water
reuse and ZLD processes for new and existing plants. New and existing coal-fired power plants, together with coal-to-chemicals
refining facilities, are targets for these ZLD
mandates, and in both sectors the rate of new
plant construction is staggering. A World
Resources Institute report in 2013 detailed
Chinas plan to construct 363 new coal-fired
power plants, adding more than 550 GW of
capacity to the existing 758 GW of coal pow58

Overall, the size, water complexity, and

wastewater technologies and will serve as a

similar wastewater challenges.

India Uses ZLD for Water Pollution


Mitigation
India is second only to China in the number of new coal power plant projects anticipated, with nearly 520 GW of new capacity
planned, according to Global Water Intelligence (GWI). But Indias focus on industrial
water treatment goes beyond the need to offset the growth in water use and wastewater
discharge resulting from a coal power boom.
Strict industrial water regulation already
had been implemented to mitigate serious
river pollution issues and to address water
scarcity in many regions of the country. For

the industrial sector, the Indian government


has promoted ZLD and near-ZLD as wastewater mandates for the largest wastewater
generators, which a 2013 International Water
Management Institute report identified as the
thermal power, steel, and petrochemical industries. There are additional water treatment,
reuse, and ZLD mandates for manufacturing
companies, from chemical and pharmaceuticals to food, beverage and textile processors,
which discharge waste streams into river systems in northern and southern India.
What began in the arid and drought-prone
southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu in the mid2000s to address water stresses between agricultural and industrial interests has spread to
other regions of the country and to larger industrial sectors. The streams requiring treatment
have tended to be lower volumes, in the 10 to
30 gpm range, for hundreds of small manufacturers and across a wide range of industries.
The ZLD process flows have included reverse osmosis (RO) plus small brine concentrating evaporators, feeding either a last-stage
crystallizer or discharging to a solar pond.
Evaporator design and performance issues in
the first generation of ZLD plants, developed
in 200509, have opened the door for newer
technologies such as high-recovery RO and

The trend for companies in the larger industrial wastewater markets such as petroleum, power, and steel is to move to higher
levels of water recovery in their operations.
Additional water recovery from RO reject
streams and treatment to higher recovery for
cooling tower blowdown are two examples.
As a result of this trend toward higher levels
of industrial water reuse, together with general industrial sector growth in India, GWI
predicts a doubling of demand in India for industrial wastewater treatment spending, from
$1 billion in 2013 to $2 billion in 2020. For
the power industry in particular, growth will
be higherfrom approximately $150 million
in 2013 to almost $500 million in 2020.

North America Wastewater Volume


Reduction and Water Reuse
Until recent years, North American companies operating in water-intensive industries
such as oil and gas extraction, thermal power
production, and chemicals manufacturing
entered into ZLD and high-recovery water
treatment projects only when absolutely required. Mickley and Associates reports from
2003 and 2008, analyzing municipal RO reject ZLD projects in the U.S. Southwest, have
provided baseline data on capital and energy
costs for pretreatment, brine concentration,
and crystallization processes comprising the
traditional ZLD process flow. Operators and
engineering firms have had good benchmarks
for evaluating the costs of evaporative highrecovery and ZLD versus alternatives such as
deep well injection of saline waste streams
or construction of evaporation ponds, when
basic treatment and discharge are not an option.
As newer technologies such as FO, other
membrane-based technologies, or electrochemical technologies have proven themselves in other worldwide marketsand as
water scarcity and water stewardship have
become more important issuesthe application space of industrial water recovery projects has grown. More plants in a wider range
of industrial sectors are actively investigating
advanced wastewater projects.
Industry needs such as minimization of discharge of saline effluents to evaporation ponds
or treatment plants from cooling towers, process waste streams, or oil and gas produced
waters, by recovering reusable water, are being
considered in many more cases than just five
years ago. Using FO, evaporation, or other processes to recover an additional 60% to 70% of
freshwater from a saline cooling tower blowdown source becomes more viable as treatment
costs diminish with new technologies.

Power and industrial users of recirculating cooling systems are increasingly exploring ways to recover and reuse cooling tower
blowdown to reduce makeup water requirements and to reduce discharge volumes.
Cooling water reuse is on the roadmaps of
companies as diverse as the large petrochemicals producers, including Shell and BP, to
large data center operators such as Google
and Amazon. FO and other technologies that
can economically process complex wastewater streams such as cooling tower blowdown
and recover additional quantities of freshwater are in a position to provide significant
value for new and existing industrial plants.
ZLD and high-recovery treatment processes in the U.S. power industry have been
employed in recent projects to help streamline the path to project approval and to help
more easily navigate the permitting process.
Panda Power Funds, for example, recently
built combined cycle plants in Temple and
Sherman, Texas, and incorporated ZLD in
the Sherman plant and high-recovery brine
concentration in the Temple plant for cooling
water blowdown and boiler feedwater plant
waste streams. (See the September 2015 issue
of POWER, where these plants are profiled as
gas-fired Top Plant Award winners.) In both
cases, the designs reduced the volume of in-

take water required to run the plants as well


as the wastewater discharged. For one of its
newly announced projects, in Leesburg, Va.,
Panda Power Funds will use Leesburg municipal wastewater as a portion of the intake
and will use ZLD waste treatment to eliminate outflows, benefiting the Chesapeake
Bay watershed in both cases.
The progress in high-recovery, saline
wastewater treatment and ZLD being made
in other parts of the globe, to improve the
cost and reliability of treating complex industrial streams, provides new options for
consideration by U.S. power and other industrial water treaters. As federal and local
regulations tighten and as forward-thinking
companies such as Panda Power Funds look
to incorporate ZLD processes into new plant
designs to meet the requirements of more
stringent water regulations and tougher permitting processes, the technologies being adopted in other markets provide new options
to be considered in order to optimize cost
and performance. These innovative, highrecovery technologies can help to broaden
the adoption of ZLD throughout the power
industry and other water-intensive industries
throughout the U.S. and the Americas.

FUNDAMENTALS

Coal Pulverizer Maintenance


Improves Boiler Combustion
Optimized coal pulverizer performance is a prerequisite for ensuring the best
furnace combustion efficacy. Here are some solutions for overcoming
commonly identified combustion problems.
Richard F. (Dick) Storm, PE
oal pulverizers are the heart of a pulverized coal-fueled boiler. Often, the root
causes of nonoptimized combustion lie
with the pulverizers. Capacity; reliability; and
environmental issues such as slagging, fouling,
and higher-than-desired CO or NOx emissions;
overheated superheater and reheater tube metals;
and cinder fouling of selective catalytic reduction catalyst and air heaters have all, at times,
been linked to poor pulverizer performance.
It is common in our experience to find pulverizers that are performing poorly, yet the degree
to which unit reliability, efficiency, capacity,
and environmental emissions are affected by
them is often underappreciated. However, there
are steps that can be taken to measure, quantify,
and monitor pulverizer operation so that changes can be made to improve performance.

Measuring Pulverizer Performance


Obtaining representative samples of coal
fineness and fuel distribution is the first step.
The best method we have found to do this is
by using an isokinetic coal sampler. All fuel
lines must be sampled and the fineness sieved
from each coal pipe separately. The fuel mass
flow to each burner must also be measured.
An isokinetic sampler similar to the one
shown in Figure 1 can be used with a dirty-air
velocity probe to establish the proper sample

1. Isokinetic coal sampling. Getting

extraction rate. The fuel line velocities that


are measured are used to compute the primary airflow and air/fuel (A/F) ratios of each
coal pipe. The velocities and A/F ratios are
valuable for diagnosing combustion issues.
Tuning improvements can only be implemented after the true current performance is
measured. Sampling single pipes, or sampling
at a single location, is totally unacceptable in
our experience. All fuel pipes must be sampled
and sieved individually for best accuracy.
The fuel lines must be tested/sampled under normal operating conditions. Often during
testing, we have observed that operating conditions are changed. For example, we have seen
primary airflow reduced, classifiers reset for
best fineness, and fuel flow brought back to
mill design fuel flow rates. In other words, the
assessment is not representative of normal operation. Testing under special conditions proves
nothing. Only testing under normal operational
conditions enables a useful diagnosis.

Out-of-Spec Results Are Common


Acceptable standards for best low-NOx burner
performance are coal fineness of 75% passing
a 200-mesh sieve and less than 0.1% remaining on a 50-mesh sieve. Fuel balance should be

within the range of plus or minus 10%. However, in our experience, it is common to find
fuel fineness that is well below 65% passing
through a 200-mesh sieve and more than 1%
remaining on a 50-mesh sieve. Furthermore, it
is common to see fuel imbalances that exceed
plus or minus 30% to the burners.
Figure 2 shows data from an actual test.
In this particular case, the fuel had unacceptable fineness, which contributes significantly
to poor distribution.
Once the data are compiled, out-of-specification readings must be investigated. An
internal inspection should be completed to
check the wear of grinding elements and
classifier housings, vanes, and other internal
components. Also, check for foreign matter
that might be blocking fuel flow paths. Any
problems identified should be corrected.
Achieving best fuel balance is done by
first balancing the system resistance in all
of the fuel lines using orifices and then increasing fuel fineness. Figure 3 shows the
typical results of this approach to fuel balancing. Of course, internal pulverizer blue
printing to best mechanical tolerances and
optimizing an accurate and repeatable air/
fuel ration is also important.

Pulverizer Mechanical Tuning Improvements Worth Considering

Install synchronized straight vane coarse


particle guide blades (A). The retrofit
lengthens the classifier blades, improves
material to 3/8-inch-thick AR400 or better, and implements critical synchronization of the classifier blades for fuel/air
two-phase mixture homogenization.
Increase journal preload (B) to between
36,000 lb and 42,000 lb (size appropriate
loading).
Install rotating throats (C) to ensure proper
velocity, improve primary classification,
and reduce coal rejects.
Ensure optimum bullring and roll geometry
(D) to achieve 1/4-inch roll-ring tolerances.
Install orifice housings (E) to support future balancing efforts. The change offers
two advantages: It is easier for maintenance
personnel to change out orifice plates, and
it speeds testing and balancing efforts.
Install flared outlet cylinder extensions (F).
Repair all ceramic tile on the classifier cone
(G) to ensure a smooth inner diameter.
Install three new, or three exactly matched,
rolls (H) with similar 40,000 lb preload.
Verify that roll-to-ring clearances (I) are
absolutely no greater than 1/4-inch over
the full grinding length of the rolls and
that the clearance is parallel to the bowl
for the full width of the rolls.
Restore bowl angle (J) to the original design angle, typically 20 degrees plus or
minus 1/2 degree.
Install designed throat deflectors (K) to
improve primary classifications and to
minimize issues with sand beds by vectoring airflow towards the bullring.
Relocate primary air thermocouple to venturi throat section (L), optimize insertion

depth, and calibrate instrumentation more


accurately.
Additionally, ensure that venturi sensing lines, connections, and transmitters are
all in good condition. Tempering air dampers should be stroked and corrections made
to ensure that they close at least 99%. This
should also be done for hot air dampers.
All internal mill surfaces must be smooth so
that the swirl of the coal/air mixture may enter and leave the classifier without spoiling or
turbulence caused by double layer tiles, welded
pad eyes, or other internal surface discontinuities. This, combined with precise primary airflow measurement and control, is important for
uniform fuel distribution at the classifier outlet.
All internal dimensions should be verified and
technically directed by a qualified service engineer during installation of performance parts
and before closing the mill.

Other Opportunities for


Improvement
Overhauling Stock gravimetric feeders can
also be worthwhile. The refurbishment
should include calibrating load cells properly,
installing modern microprocessors, adjusting
belt tension appropriately, and completing
accurate speed calibration.

Another pulverizer performance monitoring


technique is to observe the drive motor power
input in correlation with the coal feed rate. The
relationship of ton/hour to kWh power input is
a very helpful leading indicator (Figure 5). A
reduction in the power used by a coal pulverizer
does not usually result in an improved heat rate.
Instead, more grinding power nearly always
correlates with better coal fineness. The only
exception is with a ball tube mill.

Getting Primary Airflow Right


Pulverizer capacity is not simply a measure
of coal throughput; capacity refers to a certain coal throughput at a given fineness, raw
coal sizing, HGI (Hardgrove Grindability Index), and moisture. Often, if the desired coal
throughput or load response is not achieved,
the primary airflow will be elevated to higher
flow rates than are best for capacity. However, increased throughput achieved in this way
sacrifices fuel fineness (Figure 6).
This is very common. When the primary
airflow is higher than optimum, it creates entrainment of larger-than-desired coal particles
leaving the mills, promotes poor fuel distribution, lengthens flames, and impairs low-NOx
burner performance. We have found that targeting an A/F ratio around 1.8 lb of air per lb of

fuel is best. For some pulverizer types, such as


ball tube mills and high-speed attrition mills,
often a 1.6 A/F ratio is optimum. Never have
we observed good combustion conditions or
good mill performance with A/F ratios of 2.5
or greater. However, it is common to find A/F
ratios of 2.2 to 2.5 during baseline testing.
Results of as-found airflow to fuel flow
testing from a sample plant are shown in Figure 7. In this particular case, the A/F ratios
tested were well above the desired A/F ramp.
When operators bias the primary airflow up,
above the optimum, it may improve wet-coal
drying, load response, and reduce coal spillage from the grinding zone, but it is not good
for the furnace burner belt performance.
All combustion airflow inputs should be
measured and controlled, if possible. We prefer to use the tried and proven venturi or flow
nozzles for this purpose because they are rugged, reliable, offer repeatable results, and are
less prone to impulse line plugging.

MPS Mill Recommendations


Several components can be retrofitted to
improve the performance of MPS mills.
The changes may cost a significant amount
of money, but the work will usually pay for
itself through improved heat rate. One 450MW coal-fired unit in the Midwest spent
$750,000 on testing, changes, and tuning, but
calculated that it saved millions by improving heat rate and by allowing higher-slagging
fuel to be used at a reduced cost, which greatly increased its market competitivness.
The locations corresponding to the following improvements are shown in Figure 8:

Excellent pulverizer performance and fuel


line balancing results in uniform flames in the
boiler, which offers the following advantages:

Cold air has a different density than hot air,


which can result in a variance in measured velocity at similar mass flow rates. Because the Kfactor will vary, we prefer to conduct Hot-K
airflow calibrations that use typical operational
air or gas density when developing an average
K-factor. That information is important when
developing a pulverizer primary airflow curve
and when measuring all combustion airflows.
Most instrumentation technicians can calibrate and check using the Hot-K method
to verify calibration accuracy. As previously
mentioned, high primary airflows are one of
the most common root causes of poor pulverizer performance, in our experience, so
obtaining accurate and representative measurements is very important.

Power
Generation
and the
Environment
Natural and man-made changes in the
environment create a very complex picture.
This book analyzes this picture and provides
snapshots of different areas of interest and
makes suggestions for future work on cleaning
and stabilizing the earths environment.
Starting with conventional energy generation and moving on to renewable energies, this
book analyzes and calculates their environmental impact and the lesser-known aspects
of their cradle-to-grave life cycle such as the irreversible environmental damage
done during the manufacturing of solar and wind equipment and during the installation,
operation, and decommissioning of large scale hydro, solar, and wind power plants.

COMMENTARY

2 Billion Underserved
Customers Are Waiting for
Energy Services

Aaron Leopold
he world has a problem. According to the World Bank, 1.1 billion people lack access to any form of modern energy service,
and more than double that number lack access to adequate,
reliable, affordable, and safe energy services. Most of the energy
poor live in rural India and Sub-Saharan Africa. And most own a
mobile phone (that needs charging), have lighting (dirty-burning
kerosene lamps), and cook food (mostly on open fires).
Illnesses resulting from the indoor air pollution of these fires
kills more people per year than HIV/AIDs, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. It is actually the number one killer worldwide of
children under five. So the energy poor, who have traditionally
not been seen as a viable customer base for the energy industry,
are doubly penalized: They often pay up to 20 times more per
kilowatt-hour equivalent compared to grid prices for the energy
they do use, and they pay in terms of health and wellbeing.
In addition to the billions of un- and underserved individuals living in energy poverty, the World Banks Enterprise Surveys
have found Sub-Saharan African businesses experience an average of 8.3 power outages per month lasting an average of 4.6
hours each. This adversely affects all aspects of doing business
and developing attractive markets.
This situation is known as the poverty trap. But rather than
focus on the trap, we must focus on the way out, and the essential role the power sector can play.

This Big Problem Is an Even Bigger Opportunity


Bringing modern energy services to emerging markets has become a global priority. Beyond its role in ending the poverty
trap, it is also a mammoth business opportunity for power generation, transmission, and distribution. But it will require new,
decentralized ways of thinking.
To address energy poverty in the region, in 2012, ECOWAS (the
Economic Community of West African States) found that while
75% of the regions 600 million inhabitants would be best served
by conventional grids, 104 million more remote inhabitants would
be most economically served by an estimated 156,000 mini-grids,
and an additional 47 million would be best served by stand-alone
systems. Globally, the International Energy Agency says the economics dictate an even higher percentage of new electricity infrastructure should be decentralized and renewable: 36% mini-grids,
20% standalone, and only 45% conventional grids.
A $500 Billion Market
Demand for decentralized energy solutions that have become
more affordable and technologically refined over the past decade
is growing rapidly and becoming mainstream in emerging markets. It is starting to attract hundreds of millions of venture capital dollars as well as both commercial and institutional lenders.
The African Development Bank recently committed to mobilizing
$55 billion to deliver universal energy access on the continent
within a decade. The potential market globally for distributed
renewable energy products and related appliances is estimated
at up to $500 billion. The energy poor who have no access to
128

electricity spend an estimated $30 billion annually on kerosene.


Thats money on the table for the power sector.
And customer demand is there: Just a handful of businesses combinedincluding Off Grid Electric, Nadji.Bi, Greenlight
Planet, d.light, and Solar Aidserve more customers than many
of the worlds largest electricity utilities. Bloomberg estimates
that the off-grid lighting and household electrification sector
will light up close to 100 million homes by 2020.
Significant new revenue potential exists in these markets for
multinational power companies, which brings bankability and
access to balance-sheet financing, sophisticated sales and marketing operations, policy influence, and quality control. Already
some, like Schneider Electric, ENEL, and Total, are seeing the
opportunity, taking action, and investing.
Some of the biggest opportunities for power producers in emerging markets is found not in selling kilowatt-hours, but in services
charging, lighting, coolingwith innovative prepayment methods.
Businesses such as Mobisol and Off Grid Electric are doing this with
small individual home systems, of which they have been selling tens
of thousands per month over the past year. And companies like
Inensus have found success using prepayment for more-powerful
mini-grids that can really spur economic progress.
Energy as a service works because it removes the burden of
high up-front costs; the end user owns an individual home system
after a few years of monthly payments. Although poor, customers
in emerging markets are willing to pay more per kilowatt-hour
for decentralized rather than grid power because, in most cases:
the grid wont arrive in the foreseeable future; even if it does,
connection fees average over 100% of average monthly wages in
many countries; the kerosene and mobile phone charging kiosks
they would otherwise use are more expensive than both grid and
off-grid electricity; and off-grid solutions may be less powerful
but are much more reliable than todays poor-quality grids.
With customer acquisition for off-grid renewables accelerating
quickly, and the data collected forming usage and credit histories that financiers can use to build trust in the bottom billion
as a viable business model, what the market needs now is for the
wider energy sector to start embracing these changes as a new
and important growth opportunity.
With more than 2 billion people still waiting for decent energy services they can afford, power companies unburdened by legacy thinking have a chance to sell a lot of energy to a lot of new customers.
Increasing energy access is a no brainer, said executive Jerome Schmitt of Total, the largest energy provider in Africa and
a top solar provider, at the recent International Off-Grid Lighting Conference. We want to be a better energy provider for all
people . . . [but] we cannot do it alone, we need partners.
What are we waiting for?
Aaron Leopold is deputy director of advocacy of Power for All,
a collective of public and private organizations dedicated to delivering universal energy access before 2030. He is also the global
energy representative at Practical Action, a nonprofit working on
energy access.
