POWER IN CHINA

54 Renewable Energy Development Thrives During China’s 12th Five-Year PlanRenewable energy is now an important part of China’s national energy development strategy. However, significant challenges remain before the nation can reach its renew-able energy goals, explain the authors from North China Electric Power University.

THE FUTURE OF NATURAL GAS

66 Is Shale Gas Shallow or the Real Deal?The majority of recent power industry business decisions have been predicated on the assumption of huge U.S. natural gas reserves. There are, however, dissenting voices.

SPEAKING OF POWER

As I write this column on Election Day 2012, the polls are still open and both presidential candidates

are predicting victory. The next dozen hours or so will prove only one candidate correct. Regardless of the outcome, wind power remains a loser.

The Production Tax Credit (PTC) for wind power expires at the end of this year un-less Congress takes affirmative action to renew the law. This expire-renew cycle has occurred seven times since the PTC was first put into effect in 1992. However, unique events are in play this year that signal waning support for its renewal.

Opinions DifferThere is increased squabbling within en-vironmental groups, particularly the Sierra Club, about the consequential environmen-tal damage caused by wind power. “Aviary

mortality” is the clinical term used to de-scribe the bird annihilation caused by wind turbines. One Sierra Club area representa-tive uses the metaphor “Cuisinarts of the air” to describe wind turbines. At last count 77 organizations were petitioning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to toughen the rules for siting, permitting, and operating large-scale wind projects. Rules proposed by the Fish and Wildlife Service for wind turbine installations were deemed “unwork-able” by the American Wind Energy Asso-ciation (AWEA), which continues to dismiss bird kills as a serious problem.

Internal friction burst into flames re-cently when Exelon (a member of the AWEA board) went public with its view that the PTC was no longer necessary and should be allowed to expire. Exelon argued that the PTC was distorting competitive wholesale energy markets and was causing harm to other “clean energy” sources, such as nu-clear energy. Exelon was quickly “voted off the island” at an emergency board meet-

ing that excluded Exelon. Opposing points of view are clearly not valued by AWEA.

The root cause of the market and eco-nomic distortions described by Exelon is the PTC. The PTC pays the owner approxi-mately $22/MWh for energy (not firm ca-pacity) sold into a market. In some regions wind farm owners bid into the electricity market at a zero or negative power cost up to the value of the PTC in order to stay first in the production queue. The market distortion is particularly prevalent during periods of low power demand and excess electricity supply, where these artificially low power prices force baseload plants to operate at less-efficient part load.

The economic distortion is exacerbated in states with a renewable portfolio stan-dard (RPS), where mandated power pur-chase agreements pay two to three times the marginal power cost. Not only does the

PTC enable priority operation, but it also ensures that we all pay a premium for that power. The cost is buried in the govern-ment-approved utility rate structures. Also, 75% of the wind turbine installations since 2006 have been in only 11 states. The PTC has had the effect of shifting the cost of wind power development from a small num-ber of states to taxpayers nationwide.

Forgotten MandateForgotten by many proponents is the jus-tification for the PTC in the first place: to reduce CO2 emissions. When the PTC was originally enacted, this justification was blindly accepted by many states without independently confirming CO2 reduction claims. The result was RPSs designed to encourage wind by exercising a state’s political muscle over electricity markets. (See “THE BIG PICTURE: A Renewables Quest,” p. 10 for an infographic of U.S. and global RPS standards.) Ironically, not one state RPS has a written requirement

to reduce CO2. Intuition is not a substitute for empirical studies.

Over the past few years a large number of studies have been conducted in the U.S. and the European Union that conclude the fossil-fueled equipment used to balance the grid (“chase” wind because of its lim-ited and unpredictable supply), and the loss in efficiency of baseload plants forced to operate off design, produce about zero net change in CO2 emissions. Some studies predict a little more, some a little less. I also find it interesting that many utilities with large amounts of wind generation steadfastly refuse to release operating data for analysis. I suspect to do so would mean the release of empirical data to build the opposition’s case for insignificant CO2 reduction and poor operating economics. I was unable to find one study of existing wind energy installations that found the CO2 reductions predicted by AWEA.

The number of grassroots organiza-tions opposed to government-mandated and -supported utility-scale wind power projects is growing rapidly. The Indus-trial Wind Action Group maintains a grow-ing list of organizations (more than 150 at last count) on its website (windaction.org) that have been formed to oppose new wind power parks and to bring reason to the public debate about the true value of the electricity produced by wind power.

Follow the MoneyAWEA, as the industry’s principal lobby-ist, has failed to state a compelling rea-son why the PTC should be renewed for a mature technology with minimal environ-mental benefits. This is particularly telling when support from environmental groups is splintered and the number of opposi-tion groups is growing, getting better or-ganized, and loudly telling Washington of their concerns.

At its core, the PTC is public support of a few wind farm developers, owners, and equipment manufacturers wishing to sustain profits produced by a generous tax subsidy. In my mind, that’s no reason to renew the PTC. ■

Vanadium Flow Battery Juices Onion Plant An emerging flow battery technology got a major boost earlier this year when Gills Onions, one of the largest fresh-cut onion processing plants in the world—began op-erating a 3.6-MWh vanadium redox battery (VRB) energy storage system (ESS). The 14-acre processing facility in Oxnard, Calif., was already converting 100% of its daily onion waste—up to 300,000 pounds—into a combination of renewable energy and cattle feed using an advanced energy recovery system (AERS) that extracts juice from onion peels and treats it in a high-rate anaerobic reactor to produce biogas that powers two 300-kW fuel cells. But Gills Onions thought it necessary to add energy storage to its AERS to improve the efficiency of the system and further reduce electric costs, citing their main motivation as wanting to shift electricity generation from off-peak to on-peak periods while warding off pricey demand spikes.

Encouraged by state cash rebates for certain types of energy storage, Gills On-ions says it opted for the VRB-ESS that consists of three 200-kW modules with enough electrolyte to provide six hours of storage capacity (Figure 1). Not only can the VRB change from fully charging to fully discharging in seconds so that the full 600 kW are available 24 hours a day, Gills Onions says the system also can pulse an additional 50%—to 750 kW—for 10 minutes each hour, providing additional capacity for motor starts or other spikes.

The project was built and is owned and operated by Prudent Energy Corp. subsidiary Prudent Energy Services. The Bethesda, Md.–based company gets an undisclosed share of the energy savings resulting from the project in return, cal-culated as avoided charges, costs, and fees that would otherwise be paid by Gills to the local utility.

As Prudent Energy describes it, the VRB-ESS consists of cell stacks, allowing modu-lar systems to be assembled in large parallel and series configurations—with no special site requirements other than a substantial footprint. The cell stacks themselves are 10-kW sealed devices that consist of many cells, each of which contains two half-cells separated by a membrane. Electrochemical reactions occur in the half cells on inert carbon felt electrodes, creating a current used to charge or discharge the battery. “When charged electrolyte fluids [from sep-

arate storage tanks] pass through the cell stack, different ionic forms of vanadium re-act, resulting in a balancing electron flow into an external DC circuit—thus complet-ing an electrochemical path for discharge,” the company says. “Forcing current into the stack from an external source recharges electrolyte in the stack, with fluids then pumped back into the reservoirs.” This “re-dox” process is reversible, allowing the battery to be charged and discharged re-peatedly, the company explains.

In its most basic sense, the system stores energy chemically in different forms of a single element—vanadium, which the company has dubbed a “miracle metal”—in a proprietary electrolytic mixture. The mineral’s marvels lie in its unique attri-butes, particularly as a chemical catalyst for electrolytes, the company says. “It is a transition metal, which means it has the typical properties of metals, but in addi-tion, high melting and boiling points, and high density,” it explains. And, as Prudent Energy highlights: “Vanadium forms sta-ble, concentrated electrolytic solutions in four neighboring oxidations states.”

A selling point extolled by Gills Onions is the life of the system. The technology reportedly can produce more than 10,000 full-depth charge/discharge cycles with no degradation in performance. Mean-while, the electrolyte never degrades and can be fully recycled.

VFB solutions have long been recog-nized for their edge over lithium-ion bat-tery storage, primarily because VFBs have a practical advantage with their storage duration limit of 10 hours—compared to a 1- to 2-hour range for lithium-ion storage systems (though lithium-ion wins in terms of round-trip efficiency).

Prudent’s energy storage system isn’t unique. Several companies—including U.S.-based Ashlawn Energy, Austria-based Cellstrom GmbH, and Thailand-based Celle-nium—have entered the fray, competing for global VFB market share. VFBs are already being used in the European Union, China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia—though most are in the 100-kWh range. Billed as the largest of its kind, the 3.6-MWh Gills Onions installation compares only with an-other Prudent Energy project completed in March 2011 involving a 1-MWh VFB at the China Electric Power Research Institute in Zhangbei, Hebei Province.

Meanwhile, industry analysts foresee tremendous growth of VFBs in the short

term. A March 2012 study by Lux Research predicts that VFBs could capture about 17% of the energy grid storage market by 2017—assuming that developers can reach a target of $750/kWh for a fully installed system by then. The most sig-nificant factor that could determine the technology’s success is availability and pricing of vanadium, which is already see-ing heightened demand for its traditional use: strengthening steel.

“Vanadium is not scarce,” says Prudent Energy, claiming that it not only can be mined naturally as an ore but can also be recovered as a by-product of steel manu-facturing, coal-fired power generation, and oil shale production. But analysts pre-dict a supply shortage, driven by increas-ing consumption by China, which produces 40% of the world’s vanadium supply (oth-erwise dominated by Russia and South Af-rica), as a result of a new rule that only vanadium-containing reinforced steel bars can be used for infrastructure and other construction projects. Increased demand for the mineral pegged to its use in flow batteries will strain global supplies.

Compounding pricing concerns is the quirk that, unlike many commodities, va-nadium does not trade on the open mar-ket; deals are negotiated privately and tend to surge when steel demand is high and plunge during economic downturns. This price volatility is a major deterrent for battery producers, which require large amounts of high-purity (greater than 98.4%) vanadium, analysts point out.

flow battery to generate 600 kW for as long as

Largest Wastewater Treatment Fuel Cell Plant Goes OnlineIn October, Canadian biogas power produc-er Anaergia opened a 2.8-MW fuel cell sys-tem powered by cleaned and conditioned wastewater biosolids at a municipal water treatment facility in Ontario, Calif. The RP-1 Water Recycling Facility treats up to 44 million gallons a day of wastewater, and the new renewable energy facility in-stalled onsite will offset about 60% of the grid power previously used by the facility to treat wastewater, Anaergia said.

Power from the DFC3000 stationary fuel cell power plant recently purchased from FuelCell Energy is being sold to the waste-water treatment facility’s owner, Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), a munici-pal water district located in western San Bernardino County, under a 20-year power purchase agreement. Environmental rules prohibit the utility from releasing methane-rich biogas generated by the wastewater treatment process directly into the atmo-sphere. Because flaring the gas emits pol-lutants, IEUA has been using digester gas to provide a fuel for cogeneration engines that provide energy to other processes within the facility.

The fuel cell plant requires only “mini-mal cleaning” of the biogas, says its man-ufacturer FuelCell Energy. Biogas “contains humidity, sulfur and CO2. Prior to being used as a fuel source for the Direct Fuel-Cell, the humidity and sulfur must be re-moved, but the DFC technology does not require the removal of the CO2. This is a cost advantage as pipeline quality biogas, also termed ‘directed biogas,’ must have the CO2 removed prior to being injected

in the gas pipeline, which is an energy-intensive process and adds cost.”

Essentially, the fuel cell plant uses an electrochemical process to efficiently gener-ate electricity and heat suitable for generat-ing steam. According to FuelCell Energy, fuel cells are “highly efficient” and can achieve efficiencies up to 90% when byproduct heat is utilized. “The byproduct heat from this power plant will be used to help create the renewable biogas by heating the anaerobic digesters that produce the biogas. High

efficiency decreases energy costs and pro-vides more electrical output from the same amount of biogas than less efficient alterna-tives,” the company says.

The IEUA lauds the project as a major development that will bring it closer to its goal of going “Gridless by 2020,” allowing it to operate completely off the grid during peak energy usage periods.

A renewable mode of generation promot-ed less fiercely than solar, wind, and hydro, fuel cell power plants have been gathering

clout over the past decade. Cost and tech-nology are still hurdles, and the industry, hard-hit by the economic downturn, has struggled to achieve pricing parity with other technologies. Meanwhile, current fed-eral tax credits provided to fuel cell makers ($3,000/kW or 30% of the capital cost) are set to expire in 2016.

Around the world, however, fuel cell power is making strides. South Korea leads the charge in many respects: The nation’s capital, Seoul City, has plans to support in-stallation of 230 MW of stationary fuel cell power plants—part of its plan to replace the capacity of one nuclear power plant—a project that could see 29 fuel cell parks totaling 190 MW and 102 commercial build-ing installations totaling 40 MW by 2014.

This November, FuelCell Energy an-nounced it had received an order for 121.8 MW of fuel cell kits and other services from its South Korean partner POSCO. POSCO and FuelCell are already under contract to build the world’s largest fuel cell park—a 58.8-MW project located in Whasung City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea—starting in early 2013 (Figure 2). The project—co-owned by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. Ltd., Samchully Co., and other financial investors—stems from an ambitious re-newable portfolio standard adopted by the country in 2012. The heat generated by the fuel cell power plants will be supplied to a district heating system for local use.

Of Giant Turbines and

Rotor Blades

Offshore wind turbine technology experi-enced a brief gust in October as Siemens Energy began field testing of its new 154-meter (m) rotor for the 6-MW offshore wind turbine, and Norwegian technology company Sway Turbine unveiled a 10-MW offshore turbine.

Siemens began field testing of what it claims is the world’s largest rotor blade, the 154-m B75, in Østerild, Denmark, on its SWT-6.0-154 direct-drive wind turbine (Fig-ure 3). The first Siemens 6-MW turbine was installed in May 2011 at the Høvsore test site in Denmark, but due to height restric-tions, a 120-m rotor was used on the proto-type. The serial version of the 6-MW turbine will use the 154-m rotor and is expected to become the new benchmark in the offshore wind industry, Siemens said.

The company has so far procured an agreement with Denmark’s DONG Energy for 300 of the 6-MW turbines for use in projects off the coast of the UK. Siemens is expected to install two more SWT-6.0 prototypes in the UK Gunfleet Sands project, marking the

first time that the Siemens 6-MW wind tur-bine will be tested offshore. Both turbines for that project will be equipped with the 120-m rotor.

In October, meanwhile, Sway Turbine unveiled its much-awaited ST10, a 10-MW model that “offers an estimated 15–20% reduction in turbine cost compared to cur-rent state of the art, conventional design offshore wind turbines, and a considerable reduction in cost per kWh produced on wind park level,” the company said in a recent presentation.

To meet the challenges of scaling up the turbine, Sway said it embarked on several “unusual design solutions” (Figure 4). De-signed for harsh conditions, basic specifica-tions include a 164-m rotor diameter with three rotor blade supports, a 13 m/s rated wind speed, and 12 rpm nominal speed. The turbine does not have a rotor hub; it instead

features an open generator, which looks like a bicycle wheel. Each of the three pitching blades is mounted to an “A-frame” blade support structure that straddles the genera-tor. The support structure legs terminate on two independent hubs, which also function as the hubs for the generator rotor. The out-er rim of the generator rotor is connected to the blade support structure, providing the means of transferring torque between the turbine rotor and the generator. Designed to operate upwind on a fixed tower, the turbine has a design life of 20 years.

According to the company, the “new combination of components results in a system that has a significant decrease in weight over conventional designs, and a net lower cost of energy.” Sway Turbine is now in the process of identifying “the best industrial partner” to bring the product to the market, it said.

The two project developments are especially welcome af-ter a period in which production of new offshore turbines has lapsed. After brisk progress that saw as many as 1,503 fully grid-connected offshore wind turbines—a total of more than 4 GW—installed worldwide as of June 2012, development of new offshore wind farms has been caught in headwinds, reportedly owing to a crunch on investment in the sector. After receiving the major order in July for 300 6-MW turbines from Denmark’s DONG Energy, Siemens hasn’t taken another order.

Meanwhile, neither Denmark’s Vestas nor Repower Systems, a German subsidiary of India’s Suzlon, has reportedly had an order since October 2011, reported the Financial Times in November. At the same time, the Danish government moved to push back power production from two offshore wind farms with a joint ca-pacity of 1 GW by one year, to 2018, and DONG Energy shelved a project for 96 turbines on a North Sea wind farm off the coast of Germany, cancelling an order for 97 Siemens turbines.

The European Wind Energy Association told POWER that the “pipeline of future deals [for offshore wind power] continues to be strong, with further transactions standing a good chance of closing before the end of the year.” New projects include the com-pleted Walney project in the UK (see p. 42) as well as Butendiek in Germany, and others anticipated in 2013, such as the Gode Wind and Nordergrunde in Germany.

Modernization of Century-Old Hydro Facility Yields Rich History When the Boulder Canyon Hydroelectric Facility was built in

the steep, forested mountains between Boulder and Nederland, Colo., in 1910, it was the highest head hydroelectric facility in the western U.S. It consisted of two 5-MW turbine genera-tors, both of which were upgraded in the 1930s to double the plant’s capacity. The units ran until 2000, when one generator failed and was never replaced.

The second unit was recently replaced with a 5-MW turbine generator to “modernize” the century-old hydroelectric facil-

ity and keep it operational for 50 more years. Its developers say that though it is smaller, it produces 30% more power because it is more efficient.

For the City of Boulder, refurbishing the plant also has deep, historical significance. The city contracted URS Corp. and Na-tive Cultural Services to complete detailed records of the histor-ical equipment prior to removal in order to preserve the design, construction, and operational history of the original facility. As well as preparing a narrative history of the project, the city has preserved historical equipment in place for educational and display purposes (Figures 5 and 6). The research has yielded several interesting facts about the facility, including that it was the first structure in which acetylene welding in conjunction with the ball-peen welding procedure was used—a method that significantly advanced penstock technology.

The project is one of seven hydropower projects selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) for a total of up to $30.6 mil-lion in funding through the 2009 American Recovery and Re-investment Act. These were cost-shared projects that upgraded existing hydropower facilities without requiring significant civil works modifications to dams. Like the Boulder project, several call for upgrading antiquated turbines: replacing 1940s and 1960s vintage turbines with stainless steel turbines and run-ners at four Alabama Power Co. hydro plants on the Coosa River, for example, or replacing four 90-year-old Francis turbines with stainless steel turbines (and increasing annual generation by 23%) at Alcoa’s Tapoco Cheoah plant in Robbinsville, N.C. The Boulder project received $1.18 million from the DOE toward an estimated project cost of $5.155 million.

This project, though small, has garnered wide attention, in-cluding a mention from the National Hydropower Association. The industry group said in October that similar upgrades could add nearly 9 GW of capacity across the country.

Note on the Oconee Top Plant

Some of our readers may have been confused by the word-

ing of a press release about our November issue’s nuclear

Top Plants, the table of contents blurb about Duke’s Oconee

plant, or a sentence in the cover story about that plant.

In the interest of brevity, it seems we sacrificed clarity.

We did not mean to imply that this was the first of any

digital control systems upgrades in the U.S. In fact, POWER

has written about such upgrades at Oconee and elsewhere

in the past. The award this year was for a specific safety-

related system digital upgrade.

Derek Halverson, a Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokes-

man, told POWER on November 8 that what Oconee installed

was “the first complete integrated digital reactor protection

and engineered safeguards system of any U.S. commercial

nuclear power plant.” Halverson further clarified: “Many NRC-

licensed plants have at least partially upgraded their control

systems, both safety related and non-safety related, from

analog to digital technology. For example, many plants have

installed digital technology in at least a small portion of their

safety-related I&C systems, even if only to support operator

indications. However, there are still safety-related I&C sys-

tems at Oconee and the other NRC licensed nuclear power

plants that remain analog.”

(PV) power system at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (NAWS China Lake) in California. The plant, which is report-edly generating more than 30% of China Lake’s annual energy load, is uniquely the first federal agency project to be fi-nanced through a 20-year solar power purchase agreement (PPA) and could be-come a template for future large-scale solar projects.

The project is owned by a MetLife Inc. subsidiary, but it was built and will be operated and maintained by Califor-nia firm SunPower. NAWS China Lake is reportedly buying power from the in-stallation at up to 30% below the rate available through 10-year PPAs, which provides the Navy with “a long-term hedge against rising power prices and required no initial capital investment,” the San Jose–headquartered company said. The PPA, secured under a long-term energy procurement authority requires no obligations from the Navy.

The plant features SunPower’s Oasis power plant (Figure 7), a modular solar power block that is engineered to optimize land use. Each power block integrates the SunPower T0 Tracker with SunPower’s high-efficiency solar panels, pre-manufactured system cabling, the Oasis smart inverter, and the Oasis operating system.

POWER DigestGeorgia Power Completes 2,500-MW Coal-to-Gas Conversion. Southern Co. subsidiary Georgia Power on Oct. 28 put online the third and final 840-MW natural gas combined cycle unit at Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Smyrna, Ga. The first gas plant went online in December 2011 and the second on April 26. Bringing the plant’s capacity to

2,500 MW, the three units “are capable of producing more than five times the electricity of the coal units that were replaced,” the company claims. Georgia Power retired the two coal units at Plant McDonough-Atkinson on Sept. 30, 2011, and Feb. 29, 2012. Removal of the his-toric stack at the plant has begun and will be complete by June 2013.

GDF Suez Starts Operations at 860-MW Singapore Gas Plant. GDF Suez on Oct. 29 began commercial operation of two combined cycle gas turbine units, each with a capacity of 430 MW. The two new units are part of Senoko Energy’s Repowering Project, announced in 2008, which aims to convert two 30-year-old oil-fired units into combined cycle units. Senoko Energy is the largest power gen-eration company in Singapore, operat-ing a 3,300-MW portfolio and providing around 25% of the country’s electricity needs. Electricity demand growth in Sin-gapore has averaged 4% per annum over the past 10 years.

Vattenfall Powers Up 675-MW Coal Unit in Germany. Swedish util-ity Vattenfall started up a new 675-MW coal-fired unit at its 1971-built Boxberg power plant in the German eastern state of Saxony on Oct. 11. The new Boxberg R block brings the Boxberg plant’s to-tal power capacity to 2,575 MW. Vat-tenfall says the new unit uses advanced technology that incorporates materials research, boiler, and turbine technol-ogy. It will need up to 30% less coal than power plants on a worldwide aver-age and feature an efficiency of close to 44%. The plant receives lignite from the nearby Nochten and Reichwalde open-cast (pit) mine.

Bruce Power Completes Refur-bishment Program in Ontario. Bruce

Power has completed a refurbishment program at its Bruce Power nuclear plant, starting commercial operations of Bruce Power Unit 1 on Oct. 22 and put-ting the Bruce Power Unit 2 online on Nov. 2. Bruce Power, owned by Canadian companies TransCanada and Cameco, Bruce Power employees, and the Power Workers’ Union, among others, began its “revitalization” program at the nu-clear plant in Tiverton, Ontario, almost a decade ago. Bruce Power consists of two generating stations (Bruce A & B) with each station housing four CANDU reac-tors. Completion of the project, one of Canada’s largest infrastructure projects, means that all eight operating units will be capable of providing more than 6,200 MW, or about 25% of Ontario’s power. It also makes the facility one of the world’s largest nuclear stations.

Tri-Fuel Plant Takes Shape in Jor-dan. A Wärtsilä-led consortium that includes South Korea’s Lotte Engineer-ing & Construction on Oct. 11 signed a $552 million contract with Jordanian utility Amman Asia Electric Power Co. for the supply of a 573-MW power plant to Jordan. The plant, to be built in Al Manakher near the country’s capital, Amman, will be capable of using natural gas, heavy fuel oil, and light fuel oil. It will be powered by 38 Wärtsilä 50DF multi-fuel engines and fitted with a NOx control system for emissions abatement. The plant will be delivered in three phases, the first of which will be com-pleted in February 2014 and the final by September 2014.

Navy’s Plan to Deploy Marine Power Takes Shape. A plan to develop a utility-scale marine energy project that will enable the U.S. Naval Facili-ties Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to harness the power of ocean currents is making strides. Contracts have already been awarded to privately held marine service providers Eclipse Group Inc., which will lead underwater construction efforts, and Triton Energy Systems, which will spearhead underwater gen-eration engineering efforts. In October, industrial manufacturer Eaton Corp. said it had won a contract to support the project’s land-based engineering, including development of high-voltage electrical distribution. For the project, Eaton has been designated as an Eclipse qualified partner on a Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) SEAPORT-E five year contract with a possible capacity in ex-cess of $19 billion. ■—Sonal Patel is POWER’s senior writer.

Conference Report: 12th ICS Cyber Security Conference

The 12th ICS Cyber Security Conference was held at Old Domin-ion University’s Virginia Modeling Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) October 22–25, 2012. There were approximately 150 at-tendees from multiple industries, universities, government, and ven-dors as well as consultants from the U.S., South America, Europe, and Asia. The conference used the remote video conferencing capa-bilities available at VMASC to enable a few speakers to participate from as far away as Europe and Asia.

The conference addressed multiple aspects of the vulnerabilities that affect industrial control systems (ICSs). These are the program-mable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), SCADA, and other systems that make our modern world function smoothly every minute of every day by controlling physical processes in power and water utilities, oil and gas pipelines, chemical and manufacturing plants, transportation, and defense. These are the same types of systems that were compromised by Stuxnet.

Conference participants studied case histories and discussed the progress of standardization and interoperability. No press represen-tatives were allowed into the conference, and a non-attribution policy was rigorously enforced, hence the lack of names and affilia-tions in this report.

No Consistent Definition

Showing the diversity of interests of those working on cyber se-curity threats, conference participants could not agree on a single definition of what constitutes a cyber incident, particularly an un-intentional incident. One very useful outcome of the conference was developing a better appreciation of the breadth and depth of critical infrastructure protection (CIP) security required, the wide range of skills required to solve cyber security problems, and the importance of sharing information, particularly about unintentional incidents. ICS cyber incidents caused without intent—failures stemming from the processing, storage, or transmission of data—can have disas-trous consequences and serve as roadmaps for ICS system hacks. (For more on ICS protection failures and their consequences, see “Ensuring the Cybersecurity of Plant Industrial Control Systems” in the June 2012 issue of POWER, available at www.powermag.com.)

Another key conference finding was that there are few (being generous) technologies actually developed for ICS that are not recy-cled IT solutions. One emerging technology solution was discussed that could be a game changer because it improves control system performance and appears not to be susceptible to cyber threats. However, it is still in the research and development phase, and de-tails were sparse. Additionally, progress is being made on device authentication at the protocol level, and some chipmakers are trans-ferring their know-how to control systems for authenticating end devices. Protecting product information is becoming much more common these days (see sidebar).

Many Are Unaware

An international survey performed for CIGRE (the International Council on Large Electric Systems) identified the lack of cyber under-standing by the control and protective relay community as another area of work that is currently lagging. This is particularly important as CIGRE did not address the impact of the Aurora test—a cyber at-tack on power generating equipment staged by the U.S. Department

Legal Fears Stifle Public Discussion of Cyber Security Threats

Discussions about technologies used and responses by firms en-

gaged in securing their cyber systems went in an unexpected

direction at one point during the 12th ICS Cyber Security Con-

ference. In fact, three events that came to light at the event

demonstrate what appear to be parochial responses to reported

vulnerabilities. Intentionally inhibiting the free interaction and

flow of information between cyber security professionals, particu-

larly by vendors and the federal government, will only slow future

advances in state-of-the-art ICS security.

In the first situation, two presentations focusing on a nuclear

plant’s potential cyber security vulnerabilities were abruptly can-

celled when an equipment supplier threatened to sue the plant

owner. The subject of both talks was the results of a security re-

view conducted for a foreign nuclear utility, an above-and-beyond

review not required by regulators, but one that the utility volun-

tarily pursued. One presentation was to be by utility representa-

tives and the other was to be by a representative of the utility that

conducted the review. The result of the review identified new and

previously unknown vulnerabilities. Even though the utility had ap-

proved the presentations, the vendor complained it would violate

their nondisclosure agreement.

What the conference participants did learn was that this interna-

tional utility’s assessment and analysis program is more comprehen-

sive than what existing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

guidance requires. This raises questions concerning the adequacy

of NRC cyber security guidance and therefore the adequacy of cyber

security programs at all U.S. nuclear plants. It should be mentioned

that representatives of the NRC attended the conference.

In the second case, a firm engaged in cyber security that, ac-

cording to an Oct. 29 Reuters report, “uncovered thousands of

pieces of control equipment exposed to online attacks did not tell

U.S. authorities where they were installed because it feared being

sued by the equipment owners.” This quashing of important infor-

mation sharing based on the fear of lawsuits brought by vendors is

having significant repercussions across many industries.

Finally, attendees learned that the U.S. government “has kept a

technique it discovered for attacking electricity generation equip-

ment secret for five years,” according to the same Reuters report,

leaving known vulnerabilities of many electricity generators with-

out protection. Ironically, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta,

also in October, said that terrorists could use cyber attacks to “con-

taminate the water supply in major cities or shut down the power

grid across large parts of the country.”

The U.S. government is also adding to the difficulty of devising

responses to new threats by routinely classifying critical informa-

tion as “secret” and by failing to develop appropriate cyber security

regulations for utilities, according to Kevin McDonald, executive

vice president at security service provider Alvaka Networks in Irvine,

Calif., who says, “If we don’t do something as a community, really

bad things are going to happen and people are going to die.”

of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2007 at the Idaho National Labora-tory (INL)—even though it concerned a protective relay issue.

The conference included the first public discussions of the Aurora vulnerability, including a discussion of the facts surrounding the INL test. Somewhat disconcerting was the fact that more than five years after the Aurora test, very few of the critical infrastructure attendees understood the technical issues surrounding the test and why its results directly apply to their facilities. (See http://bit.ly/VAnxat for a description and video of the Aurora test plus a technical discussion of its importance to cyber security.)

This lack of awareness was demonstrated by one question from the floor. The individual asked why the “electric industry should care about every substation since there are so many substations—losing some should not be cause for concern.” The answer is that exploit-ing the Aurora vulnerability effectively makes the substation an at-tacker. Consequently, any unsecured (for Aurora) substation can be a threat to any commercial or industrial facility with rotating equip-ment served by that substation, including power plants, refineries, ships, hospitals, data centers, and the like. Because so few utilities are addressing Aurora, a representative from the Department of De-fense questioned if they should take matters into their own hands by installing mitigation at their facilities, effectively protecting them-selves from their own utilities!

Information Sharing Is Vital

There are pockets of end users who are willing to share ICS informa-tion with their peers in industry. Utility control system engineers from two different utilities discussed their actual recent ICS cyber case histories. In both instances, the cause was unclear, making solutions difficult to identify. In one case, the utility lost view and control of the plant and was unable to restore the view even with the vendor on site. In the other, the utility experienced several in-stances of complete loss of control and view with plants at power!

Another utility discussed its legacy control system cyber security test bed. The utility made a plea to establish an informal informa-tion-sharing program to share industry practices. This involves shar-ing of real information, not literature searches of “solutions.”

There was discussion of a project using Shodan (a cyber secu-rity search engine) with selected key words that found more than 500,000 Internet-facing control system devices all the way to device IP addresses. This information was recently provided to the DHS and resulted in a nationwide vulnerability notice in late October. Even today, the researcher is concerned about his liability because he found the actual Internet addresses. The researcher provided this example of the lack of understanding about ICS vulnerabilities: He contacted a water utility when he found it had ICSs that were re-motely accessible to anyone with an Internet connection, but the end user appeared to not understand the importance of the informa-tion and essentially ignored the warning.

A water utility described a disgruntled insider compromise. It took an inordinately long period of time to get the FBI to respond. When the FBI finally responded, they took the utility’s hard drive, and the replacement hard drive did not work. Fortunately, the utility had mirrored hard drives and was thus able to continue operation despite the loss of the one hard drive.

Real-World Demonstrations

There were two ICS hacking demos that proved the differences between a knowledgeable attacker and hacker with minimal ICS understanding. The knowledgeable attacker showed with less than $60 of “Radio Shack” equipment that he was able to compromise Zigbee wireless networks. The second demonstration was by a mal-ware researcher with minimal understanding of ICSs. By simply

starting with a vulnerability notification about the technology on which the SCADA system was built, he was able to take control of the vendor’s SCADA software.

On the post-conference press call, I was asked what I considered the most important need for ICS cyber security. I believe it is se-nior management buy-in—that is, understanding the possibility and consequences of an incident, the talent required to mitigate it, and prioritizing resources for ICS cyber security.

The 12th ICS Cyber Security Conference provided attendees with a valuable venue for information sharing about ICS practic-es and incident descriptions, plus networking opportunities that can’t be replicated. For information about the 2013 conference, visit www.icscybersecurityconference.com.

Users Return to Fogging on Frame 7FAsIt has been a decade since an R0 compressor blade was liberated on one of the eight Frame 9FA combustion turbines at CLP Power Hong Kong’s Black Point Power Station. This catastrophic failure eventual-ly led to GE’s recommendation that operators severely limit or cease using online water wash (OLWW), inlet fogging, wet compression, and evaporative coolers on F-Class turbines.

Now fogging is making a comeback on the GE 7FA. With greater understanding of the underlying issues, and new blade designs from GE and other aftermarket suppliers that are less prone to erosion, 7FA operators are once again starting up their foggers as a means of achieving a low-cost performance boost.

“Fogging is one of the least expensive ways to get extra power out of your machine,” says Jim Sellers, director of operations for the West Region at Entegra Power Group LLC, which recently restarted fogging on two 7FAs at its Gila River Plant after a several-year break (Figure 1). “Fogging helps the turbine to maintain a good heat rate and does not have the permanent pressure loss that an evaporative cooler causes.”

Shutting Off the Water

Although the earliest instances of using water to cool turbines date back to pointing a hose at the inlet, fogging took off in the 1990s with the use of high-pressure fogging systems. With turbine manu-facturers even starting to offer it as an option on new units, it was widely accepted as a safe and cost-effective way to get more power

for less fuel, especially on hot summer days when electricity prices were highest and fogging produced its greatest benefits.

Then came the Hong Kong incident and GE’s repeated efforts to identify the cause and a permanent solution. GE inspected all the 9FAs and determined that CLP’s daily use of OLWW had led to R0 blade erosion and subsequent failure. In the summer of 2001, GE issued the first of a series of Technical Information Letters (TIL) covering the topic. TIL 1303, Compressor Rotor R-0 Blade Erosion,

described what GE found in Hong Kong and recommended that blades be inspected af-ter 100 hours of OLWW. Next came TIL 1323 in which GE advocated using only the outer OLWW manifold and lowering the water pres-sure to 40 psig because “The erosion appears to be caused by water stratification on the bell mouth struts wall, which then impacts the root of the R0 blade.”

Later, GE extended the restriction to in-clude use of fogging and evaporative coolers, but following additional study, field experi-ence, and an R0 blade redesign, GE eased its fogging restrictions, although clearance for operation of “third-party” fogging systems was so limited that most operators con-tinued not to use them. Not everyone was convinced. “Blade erosion is not a problem for properly designed fogging systems,” says John Kraft, president of Caldwell Energy. “It has gotten blown out of proportion by the 7FA issues, but I have never had any problem on a 7FA.” Bottom line: With the introduction of R0 blade designs that are less prone to cracking that can be caused by erosion, operation of OLWW and fogging was no longer restricted.

Other turbine manufacturers were still allowing OLWW and fogging on their units without problem, so further research was done on how to improve the lifespan of the GE R0 blades. The U.S. Department of Energy funded work by MDS Coating Technologies Corp. into use of nanotech coatings to re-duce blade wear. Preliminary tests showed that the coatings reduced the amount of fluid erosion on turbine blades by at least a factor of 10.

Fogging at Gila River

Entegra is one of the companies that in-stalled new R0 blades so it could reinstate inlet fogging. The company, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, operates several plants, including the Gila River Power Station in Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles southwest of Phoenix. The 2,200-MW Gila River plant con-sists of four combined cycle power blocks, each with two Frame 7FA combustion tur-bines (CTs), two Alstom heat recovery steam generators with supplemental duct firing,

and a GE single-case, single-flow, axial ex-haust steam turbine.

At Gila River, Entegra currently owns and operates two of the four power blocks. The other two are owned by Sundevil Power Hold-ings LLC. All the CTs burn natural gas deliv-ered through a 30-inch-diameter pipeline connected to both the El Paso and TransWest-ern natural gas mainlines. The site connects to the grid via two 500 kV lines and one 230 kV line. One of the Entegra units, Block 4 is under contract to Arizona Public Service (APS), the state’s largest electric utility.

All eight CTs originally included GE-sup-plied fogging units. Fogging did produce a significant power boost, about 15 MW to 20 MW per CT, along with a better heat rate. However, in addition to blade erosion prob-lems, the fogging units proved unreliable and were shut down after a few years. “The fogging skids had lots of pump failures and had very small filters at the pump discharge that needed changing almost daily,” says Sellers of Entegra. “It was just an incredibly high-maintenance arrangement.”

One of the biggest problem areas with fog-ging was caused by a mismatch between the pump size and the amount of water needed by the nozzle array for fogging. The pumps did not have variable-speed drives to adjust output to water demand but would recircu-late the excess water. “As long as it was in recirculation mode, the recirculation valve would continuously cavitate, would self-de-struct, and need to be replaced,” says Sellers. “It was just a maintenance headache.”

Bob Stone, the Gila River plant manager, says that the GE fogging units went through three revisions before they were eventu-ally secured from use. Because the water was constantly recirculating, it would over-heat. Each of the fogging nozzles contained a plastic filter, and the water would reach temperatures where it would melt the filter into the nozzle, so it would have to be re-placed (Figure 2).

Blade Upgrade

The final revision to the system included changing the piping to bring the water temperature down to avoid melting plastic parts, but by that time blade erosion issues required shutting the foggers down anyway.

“The R0 blade that GE was using at the time was prone to a crack initiated from erosion pits,” says Sellers. “Most operators did not want to risk a cracked R0 blade that could wipe out the whole compressor sec-tion, so they stopped fogging for fear of los-ing R0 blades.”

The R0 blades at Gila River were show-ing the same erosion problems that GE had found on other 7FAs, and repeated reblend-ing of the blades was not an option.

“Some 7FA users will rotate the R0 blades and send them out to be reblended,” says Stone. “The first year, we had GE do an in situ blending on all eight units, but it gets to a point where you can’t do the resurfac-ing. Since we did not have spare sets, we decided not to fog.”

That changed, however, in 2011. By that time, GE and others had come out with ero-sion-resistant blade designs and users were eager to restart their fogging systems. In the case of APS, fogging was needed to ensure Block 4 met performance guarantees. Rather than going with the new GE blades, how-ever, Entegra went with blades from Power Systems Manufacturing (PSM). “PSM used a different material than GE, which would be more erosion tolerant and would not lead to cracking,” says Sellers. “GE had redesigned its blade, but continued to use the same material. Granted, they beefed it up, but we weren’t sure it could still crack again.”

Back to Fogging

With the new PSM R0 blades in place, last year Entegra decided to restart fogging on Block 4. “The block is under contract with performance guarantees for output and heat rate,” Sellers says. “With the decommis-sioning of the foggers, we were right at the threshold of missing the performance guar-antee and possibly suffering a penalty, so we needed to get that performance back.”

Rather than restarting the troublesome GE foggers, however, they went with a Mee-

Fog system from Mee Industries. “From the research we did, Mee was the biggest fogger company out there and had the most expe-rience, so we figured they would have the more reliable system design,” Sellers says.

According to Thomas Mee, CEO of Mee Industries, “There are about 80 MeeFog sys-tems in use on GE F-class gas turbines and a total of more than 850 MeeFog systems have been installed on gas turbines around the world.”

After pouring the slabs and running the piping, installing the skids and nozzle arrays took about two weeks during the spring out-age. The MeeFog design used 11 pumps on two skids to provide cooling for both CTs. The pumps come on one at a time, depending on the amount of fogging required at that time, but the control system cycles through the pumps to ensure that they all have the same number of operating hours. Since the Mark V plant control system had been set up for the GE foggers, the control engineer had to add logic on the control panel for the operators to turn the foggers on and off (Figure 3).

In the first summer, the fogging units op-erated about 900 hours, and Stone reports that the MeeFog units operated smoothly without the need for the daily attention that the earlier foggers required. Sellers has no concerns about blade erosion issues with this new setup due to the fact that the sys-tem only provides tiny droplets, so the root cause of blade erosion is minimized. “Be-cause of the difference in the blade mate-rial, we aren’t worried about the R0 blades cracking and breaking off,” says Sellers.

After successfully testing the new blades and fogging system in Arizona, Entegra will look at repeating those actions on its other units, depending on the market conditions and economics at each site. ■

CleanPowerSF: Political Correctness Trumps Energy Policy

In 2002, California enacted legislation authorizing municipalities to establish Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs. In September 2012, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted

“CleanPowerSF” to be the CCA program available for city residents. Its supporters describe CleanPowerSF as “a 100% renewable energy alternative.” Supervisor David Campos exalted that CleanPowerSF “will stimulate the local economy, create jobs and most impor-tantly secure our independent, clean energy future.”

CleanPowerSF represents yet another Balkanizing, politically mo-tivated misadventure in energy policy. The global complexities and challenging tradeoffs driving energy realities demand that energy policy be developed on a regional basis and respect the fundamentals of economics and physics. CleanPowerSF is premised on San Francisco being an “energy island,” political rhetoric, and exploitation of the unpopularity of the local utility, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E).

BackgroundAs part of its deregulation experiment, in 1998, California offered electric consumers a “direct access” option to select among energy providers. The local utility would remain the “wires company,” de-livering the electricity, but consumers could choose an alternative commodity supplier. Direct access providers competed by promis-ing better rates and preferable products (renewable and nuclear-free supply). In response to its energy crisis in 2001, California suspended the entering of any new direct access arrangements.

However, by the next year, the legislature decided that Cali-fornians should retain some opportunity to replace the local util-ity and be able to select from a more preferred supply portfolio. The resulting CCA program replicates direct access, but with the distinction that a municipal entity (in this case, CleanPowerSF) serves as an intermediary between the power provider and the cus-tomer. CCA can be categorized as “muni-light”—the city procures the electric commodity, but without ownership or operation of any transmission or distribution facilities.

Promised Beneits Are Illusory and UnachievableCleanPowerSF will create jobs—the positions necessary to admin-ister the program. It may also stimulate the local economy: Law-yers and consultants will thrive.

In other respects, Supervisor Campos’ vision for CleanPowerSF is illusory and destined to be an expensive failure. The promise of 100% renewable power is neither achievable nor necessary. Desired in-creases in the amount of intermittent wind and solar sources require some amount of natural gas generation to back up the system.

Moreover, any notion that CleanPowerSF will “secure” for San Francisco electric consumers “energy independence” is misguided. The “independence” CleanPowerSF offers is simply the ability to “say no” to PG&E’s portfolio. CleanPowerSF does not make San Francisco independent from the California grid; the city remains subject to blackouts caused by regional supply shortages, transmis-sion outages, or any malfunction of PG&E’s distribution facilities. Local initiatives designed to achieve energy independence should

better focus on rooftop solar installations and energy efficiency.One possible attraction of CleanPowerSF is to enable customers,

on an energy accounting basis, theoretically to bar PG&E from delivering nuclear power into their homes. But even if all of San Francisco opts for CleanPowerSF, PG&E will continue to maximize its nuclear generation and that nuclear power will flow over its wires and physically into San Francisco homes.

CleanPowerSF’s marketing will likely depict PG&E as an energy Neanderthal blocking greater renewable development. This thesis ignores utility economics: PG&E is financially indifferent whether it purchases wind or natural gas power; its economic interest is to increase ratebase by owning generation. Conversely, PG&E is agnostic whether increases in its ratebase reflect expenditures for solar or nuclear facilities.

Besides economics, resource availability, and physics, the inhibit-ing factors in the development of renewable resources in California are permitting and regulatory policies that extend development, in-crease costs, disqualify viable sites, and delay construction of nec-essary transmission lines. CleanPowerSF offers no solutions to these impediments. It is unlikely to purchase renewable power better at a lower cost than PG&E, and there is no basis to suggest it can devel-op renewable resources better than experienced and well-financed private entities. Moreover, California law already obligates PG&E to achieve 33% renewables, and Governor Jerry Brown would support an increase to 40%. The business case that CleanPowerSF will ac-celerate renewable development has not been made.

Real Costs Outweigh Psychic BeneitsThe energy independence CleanPowerSF promises is not without cost. Appreciable amounts have already been incurred to create the pro-gram’s legal infrastructure. CleanPowerSF has been authorized almost $20 million to commence business; $6 million is to study options to produce solar power, generate local power, and deploy energy effi-ciency strategies. The logic that “local” studies will generate options more viable than comparable studies conducted by state, federal, and private entities can only be rationalized as local politics.

CleanPowerSF acknowledges its inability to decrease costs for customers. The price to participate in CleanPowerSF will be a monthly increase ranging between just under $10 and almost $80, depending on the customer’s consumption level.

This nation has sought to achieve energy independence since the first oil embargo. The lessons of the past half-century should be that political gimmicks—the proverbial “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic”—do increase costs, but they advance nei-ther energy reliability nor independence. CleanPowerSF may enable some San Franciscans to feel better, but it will not create mean-ingful “green jobs,” will not advance development of renewable power, and will not promote real energy independence. ■

Alamosa Solar Project, San Luis Valley, ColoradoOwner/operator: Cogentrix of Alamosa LLC

The Alamosa Solar Project’s site on 225

acres in southern Colorado’s San Luis

Valley was chosen specifically for its

outstanding sunlight characteristics, which

are necessary for concentrating photovoltaic

(CPV) technologies. Among the positive at-

tributes of the location are its high elevation

(7,800 feet above sea level)—which means

there is less atmosphere for the rays to pass

through and, hence, greater insolation—and

the presence of an existing 115-kV transmis-

sion line for interconnection.

The Alamosa Solar Project consists of 504

dual-axis, pedestal-mounted trackers sup-

porting modules that produce approximately

60 kW each, providing enough power for

about 6,500 Colorado homes. The facility,

commissioned in May, provides electricity to

customers of Xcel Energy’s subsidiary, Pub-

lic Service Company of Colorado.

The project is projected to generate ap-

proximately 76,000 MWh per year, which

displaces approximately 249 million cubic

feet of natural gas that would have been used

by a comparable conventional natural gas–

fired power plant. This eliminates the genera-

tion of approximately 43,250 tons per year

of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, based on

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s

estimate of 1,135 pounds of CO2 generated

per MWh. In addition, the CPV facility has

very minimal water needs.

Facility OverviewJ.E. (Jef) Freeman, Jr., vice president of devel-

opment at Cogentrix Energy Power Manage-

ment, the project’s developer, told POWER

in September that a hydraulic system rotates

and tilts the assemblies throughout the day so

the surface of each panel maintains an opti-

mal angle with the sun.

“Another functional benefit of this design

is that the CPV system makes efficient use

of the available land,” Freeman said. “One

MW of rated capacity is installed on 7 acres,

compared to the approximately 8 to 10 acres

typically needed for other solar technologies.

The CPV technology is also easier to permit

and install, with no special grading, water

use, or other site treatment, minimizing the

impact on the local natural environment.”

The CPV solar trackers are Amonix 7700

models, each featuring the company’s pro-

prietary module assembly mounted on a sup-

port column, Each tracker assembly is 70

feet wide by 50 feet high and contains 7,560

Fresnel lenses that concentrate sunlight ap-

proximately 500 times onto multi-junction

solar cells manufactured by Boeing-Spec-

trolab. A hydraulic system supplied by Hawe

Hydraulics North America rotates and tilts

the assembly throughout the day so the sur-

face of each panel maintains an optimal angle

with the sun. Each tracker has its own invert-

er (manufactured by Solectria Renewables)

that converts DC power output from the solar

cells to AC power. As an added bonus, the as-

sembly’s modular design will easily accom-

modate future cell technology updates.

Major contractors for the project were

Mortenson Construction (general contrac-

tor/construction manager), Stantec (lead

design firm), and Ampirical Solutions

(electrical switchyard engineering, pro-

curement, and construction contractor).

As the largest solar plant of its type in the world, the 30-MW Alamosa Solar Project is currently enjoying its place in the sun. The innovative project consists of 504 concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) solar trackers, each featuring a CPV so-lar cell panel assembly mounted on a support column. The modular design of the assembly allows the project to easily accommodate future improvements in cell technology.

The Alamosa Solar Project has a number

of interesting design features, according to

Freeman:

■ Each 70-foot by 50-foot tracker assembly

moves around a pivot point that is approxi-

mately 20 feet above site grade (Figure 1).

■ Approximately 16,000 cubic feet of con-

crete, requiring more than 1,800 batch

trucks, was used for site construction.

■ The facility has more than 28 miles of

grounding cable throughout the site and

more than 52 miles of underground elec-

tric cable for transferring power from the

field to the transmission grid.

■ The advanced Ethernet network on site

connects more than 2,500 unique devices,

utilizing over 20 miles of fiber optic cable

and 548 network switches.

Currently, the Alamosa Solar Project has a

site staff of five; an additional lens-cleaning

staff of typically four workers is under con-

tract and employed when needed.

Dealing with Project Obstacles“The biggest challenge was the project scale

itself,” Freeman said. “Each tracker assem-

bly contains 7,560 Fresnel lenses and multi-

junction solar cells. For the total project, this

equates to approximately 3.8 million of each

of these components.”

An additional hurdle for the project was

the physical location. The high desert plateau

required the engineering designers to account

for extreme temperature variations (from –45F

to over 95F), a frost line of 42 inches below

the site grade, a relatively high water table, and

the presence of invasive rodents. Freeman said

that “overcoming these challenges required

that the selection of materials and equipment

met the functional needs of the project while

also tolerating extreme conditions.”

The project also had to take into account

strong seasonal winds that scour the San Luis

Valley floor, Freeman said. Winds have histori-

cally blown from the San Juan Mountains to

the west, across the valley floor, and up against

the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east. The

Great Sand Dunes National Park and Reserve is

along the eastern range and largely results from

the valley sediment being deposited there.

To protect the equipment from wind

damage, each tracker assembly has its own

anemometer to measure wind speed to en-

able the assemblies to be moved into a flat,

face-up, stowed position when winds are

over 28 mph, Freeman explained. Addition-

ally, a centralized control system provides

backup wind speed measurements from three

meteorological stations on site and will put

the entire field into stow position when wind

speeds exceed 30 mph.

The project encountered some challeng-

es related to obtaining state and Alamosa

County variances and permits. For example,

to obtain the necessary water rights for po-

table and lens-cleaning water, the project

team had to work closely with county con-

servancy officials to develop a program of

water augmentation for the San Luis Valley

groundwater system.

“Another challenge was due to the fact that

the project’s solar tracker assemblies have a

maximum height of over 50 feet, which ex-

ceeds county height limitations,” Freeman said.

“Once again the project team worked with the

county, through the state-delegated 1041 Permit

process, to successfully secure all needed per-

mits for construction, inclusive of a height vari-

ance to enable the project to move forward.”

Securing Financial Backing“The Alamosa project will be vital to the

eventual commercialization of CPV technol-

ogy by representing the first utility-scale im-

plementation,” Freeman said. The first hurdle

for the project team was to find financing.

Because the project is the first of its kind,

conventional financing was not available.

Traditional financial institutions required at

least two years of operating performance data

in order to adequately gauge the risk profile

of the project before they would offer financ-

ing terms for review.

The project team ultimately secured a low-

interest loan from the Federal Finance Bank

under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan

Guarantee Program. In order to meet commer-

cial operation deadlines, the project went into

construction well in advance of securing the

loan, which required significant upfront equity

from the project developer until it was refund-

ed from loan proceeds once financing finally

closed. Construction was completed in approx-

imately 12 months, and the facility successfully

achieved commercial operation in April.

A Model for Future Solar Energy ProjectsThe ultimate success of the Alamosa Solar

Project may have a significant impact on the

financing of similar projects in the future. In

order for the conventional commercial lend-

ing community to get comfortable with risks

associated with innovative projects, an operat-

ing track record is needed. Freeman added that

“the Alamosa Solar project is well on its way to

establishing such an operating track record.”

By their very nature, pioneering projects

such as the Alamosa Solar Project often

encounter equipment supply, construction,

and operational obstacles. Each occurred at

some point during construction and startup

of the Alamosa project. It was imperative

to have “quality ownership, engineering,

construction, and operational personnel in-

volved to ensure the project’s ultimate suc-

cess,” Freeman explained.

“The combination of engineering talent at

Cogentrix with the complementary talent at

Stantec and Mortenson enabled the Alamosa

Solar Project to address all challenges and

become what is now the largest facility of

its type in the world, “ Freeman said. “As a

result, it is the ideal role model for similar

projects going forward.” ■

Coca-Cola/Mas Energy Trigeneration Facility, Atlanta, GeorgiaOwner/operator: Mas Energy

By taking a waste product and converting it into a fuel source, the 6.5-MW Co-ca-Cola/Mas Energy Facility became the first U.S. operational trigeneration proj-ect fueled by landfill gas. Since March, the new system has provided electricity, steam, and chilled water to the adjacent Coca-Cola Syrup Plant, satisfying most of the plant’s energy requirements and reducing its long-term energy costs.


It’s the real thing. The Coca-Cola/Mas

Energy Trigeneration Facility in Atlanta

is a genuine renewable energy leader

that uses treated landfill gas as an energy

source for its operations. Using a trigenera-

tion or CCHP (combined cooling, heat, and

power) system, the new facility is projected

to generate at least 48 million kWh of on-

site renewable energy annually. The project

also provides Coca-Cola (the “offtaker” or

energy user) with the additional economic

benefit of leveling its energy costs over an

extended period of time.

Landfill gas from Republic Services’

Hickory Ridge Landfill in nearby Conley,

Ga., is the primary fuel source for the trigen-

eration plant. “We anticipate that the plant

will use landfill gas as its primary fuel source

for the life of the project,” Jason Byars, vice

president of business & project development

at Mas Energy, told POWER in October.

“The plant also was designed and installed

with the ability to blend natural gas or use

it as a backup fuel when landfill gas is inter-

rupted to ensure relatively constant fuel input

to the plant.”

The new facility is gaining attention. For

example, the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency’s Green Power Partnership recently

recognized the Coca-Cola Co. as the third-

largest on-site green power generator in the

U.S., and the trigeneration facility was a key

factor in that ranking.

Operational OverviewThe system achieved commercial operation

on March 31, 2012, after approximately 15

months of construction and related activi-

ties. “This is the first trigen plant built at the

offtaker’s site. A significant challenge during

the construction phase was coordinating all

the construction activities so as not to inter-

fere with or interrupt the offtaker’s existing

operations. Coordination of tie-ins to existing

site utilities and the controls modifications

required to integrate new systems into the

existing schemes had to be done with careful

attention to detail,” Byars said.

The trigeneration plant has three GE Jen-

bacher J616 reciprocating engine generators,

each rated at 2,175 kW for a gross output of

6,525 kW. The engines use selective catalytic

reduction (urea) and selective noncatalytic

reduction control technologies to mitigate the

plant’s total emissions and thereby keep them

below major source thresholds. Fuel gas con-

ditioning equipment (used at the landfill site)

was provided by Venture Engineering for

removal of siloxane (a chemical potentially

harmful to the engines and post-combustion

emissions control devices), as were polishing

skids. Unison Solutions provided the com-

pression and dehydration equipment. The si-

loxane regeneration skid was purchased from

Abutec.

The engines exhaust into individual heat

recovery steam generators (HRSGs) that

can each produce up to 3,500 lb/hr of steam

at 125 psig, for a total rated steam output

of 10,500 lb/hr. The HRSGs have bypass

dampers that enable full electrical output to

be achieved even when the offtaker’s ther-

mal requirements are relatively low. When

in full steam-generation mode, the HRSGs’

steam is dispatched to the offtaker’s facility,

where it is primarily used to drive a 1,065-

ton steam turbine–driven York YST MaxE

chiller. The steam can also be used to offset

steam production from the offtaker’s facility

boilers via a 125-to-15 psig reducing station.

The condensed steam (condensate) produced

from each point of use is sent to the facility’s

existing feedwater deaerator before being re-

turned to the HRSGs.

Byars explained that the project is unique

because it involves landfill treatment and

combustion at two different sites intercon-

nected via a dedicated 6-mile pipeline. He

said that “this project configuration added

significant complexity to the scheme required

to automate, monitor, and control the sys-

tem.” Approximately 2,200 scfm of landfill

gas is first processed at the landfill via dehy-

dration, compression, and siloxane removal

equipment (Figure 1). Then it is transported

to the offtaker’s facility via the pipeline oper-

ated and maintained by AGL Resources.

“The trigeneration plant’s generators oper-

ate in parallel with the Georgia Power dis-

tribution grid. And because the project has

obtained ‘Qualifying Facility’ status, the

offtaker is able sell any excess electricity

generated by the trigeneration plant and not

consumed by the offtaker’s facility back to

Georgia Power at avoided cost or better. As a

result, Georgia Power gets the benefit of in-

cluding some incremental renewable genera-

tion in their system fleet,” Byars said.

Preparing Landfill Gas for Fuel UseIn order to protect the integrity of the post-

combustion environmental controls installed

at the offtaker’s site, it was necessary to de-

sign and install landfill gas conditioning and

cleaning systems at the landfill. Prior to de-

velopment of this project, all of the gas pro-

duced at the landfill (approximately 2,200

scfm) was combusted via an open flare. Now

it is delivered from the landfill’s collection

system to the treatment system at the land-

fill. The landfill’s existing flare has remained

in service and is available for use when op-

eration of the trigeneration plant is upset or

curtailed.

After it is collected in the landfill col-

lection system, the landfill gas is cooled in

a heat exchanger to prevent condensation in

the oil system. The gas is then compressed to

approximately 50 psig and cooled in a gas-

to-air heat exchanger. It then flows through

a glycol chiller and is cooled to 40F. Next, it

passes through a moisture knock-out pot and

reenters a regenerative heat exchanger, where

it is reheated to 80F. At this point, the landfill

gas passes to a siloxane removal skid.

The siloxane removal skid comprises two

trains of siloxane removal beds and carbon

polishers, each train capable of processing

100% of the landfill gas flow. Only one train

operates at any given time while the other side

is either in regeneration or standby mode. An

auxiliary flare was permitted and installed

to accommodate the siloxane removal skid

regeneration process. The siloxane removal

skid is generally in regeneration mode for six

hours each day, during which it regenerates

the off-line bed.

Byars explained that during regeneration,

a blower and electric heater mix approxi-

mately 1,000 scfm of heated ambient air with

a slipstream of approximately 120 scfm of

landfill gas, which flows in reverse through

the regenerating bed before being routed to

the auxiliary flare. The two siloxane removal

beds operate on an alternating 24-hour ad-

sorption/desorption cycle.

After being in the siloxane removal bed,

the gas then flows through a carbon polisher

that further removes trace levels of siloxane.

The siloxane removal skid’s outlet connects

to the inlet of the dedicated landfill gas pipe-

line, which transports the gas to the trigen-

eration plant site at the Coca-Cola facility.

Lining up Project Funding“Mas Energy used a combination of debt

and equity to fund construction of the proj-

ect. One related challenge was the sourcing

of debt for a relatively small project such as

this. Ultimately, project financing was pro-

vided via a bond issuance through the Fulton

County Development Authority,” Byars said.

During the planning phase, Mas Energy—

which develops, owns, and operates energy

systems around the world—spent several

weeks analyzing its air permitting options for

the trigeneration plant. From one perspective,

the permitting process could have taken sev-

eral months given that the new plant would

be a major source of air emissions and the

greater Atlanta region is a “severe non-attain-

ment” area for ozone. From another perspec-

tive, the project stood to benefit substantially

from the U.S. Treasury’s Section 1603 grant

program as more fully described in the

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of

2009, provided that it achieved commercial

operation prior to the end of 2011 (a deadline

since extended by an act of Congress).

To expedite the permitting process and

give the project the best chance of achieving

commercial operation prior to the deadline,

Mas Energy elected to install post-combus-

tion treatment at the plant and permit the

project as a synthetic minor source. “By

working collaboratively with regulators, we

were able to shorten what could have been a

‘several months’ process to one that took ap-

proximately 100 days from the date of the air

permit application by Mas Energy to the date

of air permit issuance by the Georgia Envi-

ronmental Protection Division,” Byars said. ■

“This project has the ability to tackle

both energy security and water se-

curity, thus leaving behind a green

footprint for future generations,” said Gujarat

Chief Minister Narendra Modi in April at the

dedication of the 214-MW Charanka Solar

Park, one of the solar parks that is part of the

Gujarat Solar Park group. The new Charanka

park is larger than the 200-MW Golmud Solar

Park in China, which previously had been clas-

sified as Asia’s largest solar energy facility.

In April, several Gujarat Solar Park fa-

cilities that were already operational and

had a combined total of 605 MW received

certificates of completion. In June, the proj-

ect’s solar parks reached a combined total of

689.8 MW. The entire group of solar parks

is predicted to avoid 8 million tons of carbon

dioxide emissions and save 900,000 tons of

natural gas annually, according to the Guja-

rat government.

India’s Electric Power SectorWith a population of approximately 1.2

billion (July 2012 estimate), India is the

second most populous nation in the world,

behind China. India’s electric power sector

had an installed capacity of 207.85 GW as

of September 2012, the world’s fifth larg-

est, according to a recent report issued by

the Central Electricity Authority, Ministry

of Power, Government of India. Captive

power plants (those used for in-house power

generation, typically by industrial entities)

generate an additional 31.5 GW. Thermal

power plants constitute 66% of the installed

capacity, hydroelectric about 19%, and the

rest is a combination of wind, small hydro,

biomass, waste-to-electricity, nuclear, and

solar. India generated 855 TWh of electric-

ity during the 2011–2012 fiscal year.

The world’s fourth-largest energy con-

sumer after the U.S., China, and Russia,

India currently suffers from a major elec-

tricity generation shortage. The Interna-

tional Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that

the country needs to invest at least $135

billion to provide its population with uni-

versal electrical access. In December 2011,

more than 300 million Indian citizens had

no access to electricity. More than one-third

of India’s rural population lacked electric-

ity, as did 6% of the urban population. Of

those who did have access to electricity, the

supply was often intermittent and unreli-

able—sometimes subject to blackouts such

as the massive grid collapses that occurred

in July. Fortunately, Gujarat, which actu-

ally enjoys an electricity surplus, was re-

inforced by the Western Grid and escaped

those summer blackouts.

At an energy summit held in India in

March, IEA Executive Director Maria van

der Hoeven said, “Sufficient power provi-

sion is key to sustaining economic growth

and development. The rapid growth of

emerging economies like India therefore

require significant power demand increases.

According to our analysis, in India, electric-

ity demand is projected to more than triple

to over 3,200 TWh by 2035. This would im-

ply that over 650 GW of new capacity will

have to be built.” The technologies and fuel

sources that India adopts as it adds this ad-

ditional capacity may significantly impact

global resource usage and have potentially

negative environmental effects, according to

the IEA.

Van der Hoeven made the following pre-

dictions for India’s electric power sector be-

tween 2012 and 2035:

■ Natural gas is expected to be the second-

largest source of fuel for power genera-

tion, but still modest compared to coal.

■ Coal use in the power sector will almost

triple over the forecast period.

■ Nuclear power generation will grow al-

most 10-fold.

■ The most impressive increase will take

place with renewable energy sources as

their contribution increases 20-fold over

the projection period.

Achieving such growth rates will not be

easy, according to the IEA. Indeed, while

coal will remain India’s generation back-

bone during the whole period, coal’s ability

to keep pace with such enormous power de-

mand increases is uncertain. This is largely

due to logistical challenges and constraints

on domestic coal production and the rising

price of imported coal. Diversifying into gas

and other alternatives is therefore not mere-

ly a matter of protecting the environment

but also of promoting energy security.

Gujarat’s Policies Promoting Solar EnergyIndia has solar irradiation that ranges from 4

to 7 kWh/square meter/day across the coun-

try, with western and southern regions hav-

ing higher insolation. (For comparison, the

average Phoenix, Ariz., insolation ranges

from 6 to 7 kWh/square meter/day during

the summer.) Located in India’s western

part, Gujarat is one of the most industrial-

ized Indian states. It has annual power gen-

eration capacity of more than 14,000 MW

with 2,000 MW of surplus power, according

to government sources. It’s not surprising

that Gujarat, with its plentiful solar resourc-

es, is heavily promoting solar park develop-

ment (Figure 1).

As part of the national solar energy ini-

tiative, the Gujarat government launched its

Solar Power Policy in 2009. The state utility,

Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd., entered into

long-term power purchase agreements with

84 solar power project investors to commis-

sion approximately 968.5 MW of generation

capacity by the end of 2013, with the possi-

bility of signing on additional companies in

the future. The solar parks are being placed

in sparsely populated flat areas in the north-

ern part of the state.

The projects range in size from 1 MW

to 40 MW. For example, the Charanka So-

lar Park consists of a group of 17 thin-film

photovoltaic (PV) power systems located

on a 4,900-acre site in Patan, a Gujarat dis-

trict. A total of 17 national and international

companies contributed power systems to the

grid-connected park. When fully built out

by the end of 2014, the park will host 500

MW of solar power systems. The Charanka

park, estimated to cost approximately $280

million, was built in 16 months—faster than

a conventional fossil-fueled plant.

The governmental development of solar

parks has at least two main advantages:

■ It streamlines the project development

timeline by letting government agencies

undertake land acquisition and neces-

sary permits.

■ It provides dedicated common infrastruc-

ture for setting up solar power generation

plants funded by individual companies.

This approach has promoted the accelerated

installation of private-sector solar power gen-

eration capacity and thereby cut many costs

that would be faced by stand-alone projects.

Common solar park infrastructure includes

site preparation and leveling, water availabil-

ity, access roads, and security services.

In parallel with the central government’s

initiative, the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory

Commission announced a feed-in tariff to

mainstream solar power generation, which

will be applied to solar power generation

plants in the park. Gujarat Power Corp. Ltd.

is the agency that has been responsible for

developing the Gujarat Solar Park and leas-

ing land to project developers. Gujarat En-

ergy Transmission Corp. Ltd. is responsible

for developing the transmission capabilities

for the park. The Asian Development Bank

has provided some support for the project.

Renewable Energy Education Initiatives “While we want to make Gujarat a solar hub,

we also want our youth to conduct pioneer-

ing research and provide effective energy so-

lutions for future generations,” Modi said in

April at the Charanka Solar Park dedication

ceremony. In 2008, Pandit Deendayal Petro-

leum University, located in Gujarat, launched

its School of Solar Energy, which was a first-

of-its-kind training facility in India. The gov-

ernment also is actively supporting research

by Gujarat Energy Research & Management

Institute and other solar energy groups.

“Will we be able to manage so many so-

lar power plants without having a skilled lo-

cal workforce? Absolutely not!” Modi said.

“Major training initiatives through industrial

training institutes (ITIs) will take research and

training in this field to another level. Six solar

photovoltaic ITI labs have been established

and students are already signing up to learn.”

Sunny Forecast for Solar EnergyUnder its Solar Power Policy, the state gov-

ernment has signed memoranda of under-

standing for future projects to be developed

in Anand, Banaskantha, Jamnangar, Juna-

gadh, Kutch, Porbandar, Rajkot, Surat, and

Surendranagar.

By 2013, India aims for solar power to

account for 3% of total national capacity,

according to Gujarat Solar Park sources. In

addition, the nation wants renewable sourc-

es of energy to rise from the current 6% of

all capacity to a whopping 15% by 2020. ■

Stillwater Solar-Geothermal Hybrid Plant, Churchill County, NevadaOwner/operator: Enel Green Power North America

The Stillwater hybrid facility is the world’s first renewable energy project that pairs geothermal power’s baseload generation capacity with solar power’s peak capacity. Inaugurated in May, the 26-MW solar plant is integrated with the ad-jacent 33-MW geothermal plant, which began operations in 2009, and provides energy to run the geothermal plant’s auxiliary loads.


Combining the best of two renewable

energy technologies, the Stillwater hy-

brid facility balances the continuous

generation capacity of geothermal energy

with the peak capacity of solar energy. The

new solar plant’s photovoltaic (PV) panels

cover 240 acres next to a geothermal plant in

Churchill County, Nevada.

The Stillwater geothermal project, which

received $40 million in tax support under the

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of

2009, harnessed innovative technologies to add

solar energy to the facility and now provides

59 MW of combined capacity to power about

45,000 local homes. NV Energy has a contract

to buy all the power generated by the plant.

“As the first of its kind in the world, this

project demonstrates how we can tap renew-

able energy sources to provide clean power

for American families and businesses and

deploy every available source of American

energy,” Steven Chu, secretary of the U.S.

Department of Energy, said in May. “Sup-

ported in part by the Recovery Act, the Fallon

facility is expanding domestic renewable en-

ergy sources and helping to build the infra-

structure we need to stay competitive in the

global race for clean energy technologies.”

How Geothermal Power WorksGeothermal energy is the only nonhydro re-

newable energy source able to provide basel-

oad power because it relies on the continuous

flow of heat from underground water sources

rather than depending on the availability of

wind or sun. In many geothermal reservoirs,

however, the water temperatures are moderate

(below 400F) and not hot enough to produce

steam with the force needed to efficiently

turn a turbine. Nonetheless, such moderate

temperature reservoirs can generate electric-

ity using a binary system.

Francesco Venturini, Enel Green Power

North America’s (EGP NA) president and

CEO, told POWER in October about the Still-

water geothermal plant’s medium enthalpy

binary system. He explained that the facility

uses the system because of the moderate tem-

perature of the nearby geothermal reservoir.

The plant’s binary system uses two fluids: hot

water from underground wells heats isobutane

and causes it to flash into vapor, which then

turns the turbines to generate electricity.

In addition, the facility uses proprietary

technology that increases efficiency by mini-

mizing the parasitic load—energy losses that

occur from operating the various pumps and

fans required in the power generation cycle.

The plant has a closed-loop system that con-

tinually replenishes the geothermal resource.

Once the geothermal fluid has passed through

the plant, it is pumped back into the ground.

Therefore, there are zero intentional emis-

sions from the process and virtually nothing

is emitted to the atmosphere.

Venturini added that his company has

strong expertise in the geothermal energy

sector. “EGP NA is the first company in the

world to produce electricity from geothermal

sources dating back to 1904 in Larderello,

Italy. The company has over 700 MW of geo-

thermal capacity in full operation and uses in-

novative operational and drilling techniques

to optimize its projects’ output,” he said.

ter facility was something that occurred to

EGP NA management after building the geo-

thermal component, Venturini said. He also

explained his company’s goals related to de-

veloping new synergies between geothermal

and solar energy.

“Having succeeded in proving the concept

in a commercial-scale application, EGP NA

Green Power’s Stillwater Solar project paves

the way to address key drawbacks for both

geothermal and solar technologies: resource

risk/parasitic load and generation intermit-

tency, respectively,” Venturini said. The geo-

thermal plant also provides auxiliary power to

the solar plant when there is no sunlight, “thus

eliminating the need for backfeeding power

from the utility,” according to Venturini.

Currently, a number of utilities use renew-

able energy sources like solar power during

hours of peak consumer demand and combine

it with a baseload coal or natural gas plant to

ensure a steady power supply. In contrast, the

Stillwater facility combines two renewable

energy technologies to produce electricity at

the same location and thereby increases the

generation of zero-emission electricity.

Combining geothermal and solar energy

at the Stillwater plant also makes it possible

to use the same infrastructure, further reduc-

ing environmental impacts. That integra-

tion includes the control system, electrical

protection and island mode capability, fire

detection/protection schemes, electrical in-

terconnection, and the use of a common op-

erations and maintenance staff.

“It has to be said that since this geother-

mal-solar project is a first of its kind, it met

the regular challenges of everything new in

terms of combining two advanced technolo-

gies, as well as challenges of a regulatory and

administrative nature,” Venturini said.

This innovative hybrid power plant dem-

onstrates that the strengths of these different

renewable technologies combine to create a

better whole. Together, they:

■ Enhance the thermal efficiency in the geo-

thermal unit when it is lowest, typically

during the hottest and sunniest times of

the day or year.

■ Stabilize production during the day, en-

abling a more load-following production

profile.

■ Reduce investment risk due to the uncertainty

of the geothermal resource and compensate

for geothermal reservoir temperature deple-

tion without reducing production.

Plant ProfileThe solar power component at the Stillwa-

ter facility consists of more than 89,000

polycrystalline premium photovoltaic (PV)

CNPV-295P modules on fixed mounts

(Figure 1). They were manufactured by

CNPV Solar Power SA, an integrated man-

ufacturer of solar PV products. Las Vegas–

based Bombard Renewable Energy was the

general contractor for the solar project.

The benefit of adding solar to the Stillwater

facility’s production capacity has been con-

firmed in generation measurements to date.

“Average daily generation in the peak hours

is significantly enhanced by the PV system,

while the geothermal plant begins to reach

optimal generation levels when solar genera-

tion ramps down,” Venturini explained.

“From a source point of view, there were

no development difficulties, as the geother-

mal plant (operational since 2009) was al-

ready positioned in an area with good solar

irradiation levels, so EGP NA just had to

install the PV facility and connect it to the

grid,” Venturini said. “It also helped that Enel

Green Power was finishing construction of its

pilot project in Italy integrating a solar ther-

mal system to boost efficiency of a combined

cycle natural gas power plant.”

EGP NA employs approximately 50 staff

members in the state of Nevada. The com-

pany has roughly 30 employees who operate

and maintain the Stillwater Solar Geothermal

Hybrid Plant and EGP NA’s Salt Wells Geo-

thermal Plant (which also became operational

in Nevada in 2009).

Venturini noted that the project’s success

derives from a number of factors:

■ The hard work and commitment of the en-

gineers and staff at EGP NA.

■ The collaboration with and support of NV

Energy, state and local government agen-

cies, and the local communities—all of

which were essential in completing the

project.

■ Federal and state energy policies support-

ing renewable energy that were critical in

EGP NA’s decision to commit to this suc-

cessful investment.

Looking Ahead The Stillwater hybrid plant is already being

recognized as a trendsetter in the renewable

energy sector that will probably encourage

future hybrid projects. On June 28, 2012,

the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA)

recognized the Stillwater Solar-Geothermal

Hybrid Project for advancing geothermal

technology. The GEA singled out the Still-

water facility for being the first hybrid power

plant of its kind. The association pointed out

that “this technology may help to allow fu-

ture projects that would otherwise have been

unfeasible as stand-alone geothermal or solar

projects to be more economically and tech-

nologically viable.”

In his remarks at the dedication ceremony

for the Stillwater Solar Plant in May, Nevada

Governor Brian Sandoval praised EGP NA

for its innovation and leadership and looked

forward to future growth in the Nevada renew-

able energy sector. “Clean energy is a key sec-

tor for Nevada. It provides energy from local

sources, drives innovation, and most impor-

tantly, brings high-quality jobs and economic

growth to the local communities. Enel Green

Power’s first-of-a-kind solar geothermal hy-

brid project is a living example of these ben-

efits and I support the further growth of this

Three Gorges Dam, Yangtze River, Hubei Province, ChinaOwner/operator: China Yangtze Power Co., Ltd.

After nine years of construction, installation, and testing, the Three Gorges Dam is now complete. On May 23, 2012, the last main generator finished its final test, increasing the facility’s capacity to 22.5 GW and making it the world’s largest ca-pacity hydroelectric power plant.


It’s fitting that the Three Gorges Dam

(TGD) achieved full commercial op-

eration in 2012, the Year of the Dragon,

based on the Chinese zodiac. The dragon sign

represents accelerated risk-taking and break-

ing through outmoded paradigms. Through

hard work and tenacity, the pioneering TGD

developers and their staff overcame many

obstacles to create an immense hydroelectric

facility. Since the TGD was started almost a

decade ago, it has set several world records in

hydropower construction and achieved a se-

ries of technology breakthroughs, thanks to

continuous scientific and technical advances.

Located in the Xilingxia Gorge area, one

of the three gorges of the Yangtze River, the

dam controls a drainage area of 1 million

square kilometers (km2), with an average an-

nual runoff of 451 billion cubic meters (m3).

The TGD is made of 14.86 million m3 of

concrete, is the biggest structure of its type in

the world, and is visible to astronauts in the

International Space Station.

The Project’s Construction HistoryAs the legal entity in charge of the TGD,

the China Three Gorges Corp. (CTGC) has

had full responsibility for the TGD’s financ-

ing, construction, and operation, according

to CTGC sources. The CTGC was set up

as a state-authorized investment institution,

which was allowed to use Chinese state

funding for the project. In September 2002,

the CTGC established the subsidiary China

Yangtze Power Co., Ltd. (CYPC), which

was assigned to manage both the TGD and

the Gezhouba hydropower plants. The $30

billion cost of the TGD project will be re-

paid by revenues received from the sale of

electricity.

On Dec. 14, 1994, TGD construction

formally started. On Nov. 8, 1997, the river

closure was completed as part of Phase 1.

In 1998, Phase II construction of the TGD

went in full swing, and six years later, on

June 1, 2003, the TGD’s reservoir started

storing water. Next, on June 16, 2003, the

TGD’s double-lane five-step shiplock was

put into service. Then on July 10, 2003, the

first 700-MW generator was connected to

the grid and began to generate electricity.

The last unit entered service in May 2011.

Facility HighlightsNow fully operational, the TGD has a total of

34 generators: 32 main generators, each with

a capacity of 700 MW, and two plant power

generators, each with capacity of 50 MW, for

a total capacity of 22.5 GW. Of those 32 main

generators, 14 are installed in the north side

of the dam, 12 in the south side, and the re-

maining six in the underground power plant

in a mountain south of the dam.

The first units were manufactured through

two joint ventures (JVs) followed by units

manufactured by Chinese companies based

on extensive technology transfer require-

ments. The first JV consists of Alstom, ABB

Group, Kvaerner (which supplied eight

units), and the Chinese company Harbin

Electric Machinery Co. Ltd. (HEC). The

other JV includes Voith, General Electric,

and Siemens (abbreviated as VGS and which

supplied six units) plus the Chinese company

Dongfang Electrical Machinery Co. Ltd. The

technology transfer agreements were signed

together with the equipment supply con-

tracts. For example, as part of their agree-

ment, HEC produced 14 units in all (eight

on the project’s left bank, four on right bank,

and two underground), with the final two

units produced almost completely in China.

CTGC later contracted with Alstom for the

supply of four additional units.

The TGD uses Francis turbines with a

diameter that is 9.7 m or 10.4 m (VGS de-

sign/Alstom design) and a rotation speed

of 75 revolutions per minute. The turbine

generators’ rated power is 778 MVA, with

a maximum of 840 MVA and a power fac-

tor of 0.9. Most of the TGD’s generators

are water-cooled. Some newer ones are

air-cooled, which are simpler in design and

easier to maintain.

Several technology breakthroughs were

made during generator installations: auto-

matic welding on the large stator assembly,

lamination stacking of a large stator in the

field, welding and measurement of rotor

roundness, and controlling the roundness of

rotor rim and plate.

The speed of the units’ installation was

impressive. For example, in 2003, the proj-

ect team installed and put into operation six

700-MW units, which set a new world record

for yearly installation of large-size turbine

generators. Monitoring data showed that all

the units that had been put into operation

worked steadily and met the design require-

ment of various technical parameters.

During the annual dry season that occurs

from November to May, power output is lim-

ited by the river’s flow rate. On the flip side,

when there is enough water flow, power out-

put is limited by plant generating capacity.

The TGD reached its design-maximum res-

ervoir water level of 175 m for the first time

on Oct. 26, 2010, when generation capacity

of 84.7 TWh was realized.

By Aug. 16, 2011, the plant had gener-

ated approximately 500 TWh of electricity.

Now that the TGD is fully operational, an-

nual generation is projected to be more than

100 TWh. Currently, the facility’s electricity

is sent to Central China, East China, Guang-

dong, and Chongqing with a maximum trans-

mission range of 1,000 km. Nine provinces

and two cities consume power generated by

the TGD (Figure 1).

Originally, the TGD was intended to meet

10% of China’s power needs. However, de-

mand has increased more quickly than the

Chinese government initially projected. For

example, the TGD supported only about

1.7% of the country’s electricity demand in

2011, when demand reached 4,692.8 TWh.

Environmental EffectsCompared to coal-fired power stations pro-

ducing the equivalent level of generation, the

TGD will avoid creating the following pollut-

ant amounts, according to CTGC sources:

■ 100 million tons of carbon dioxide

■ Two million tons of sulfur dioxide

■ 0.37 million tons of nitrogen oxide

■ Large quantities of wastewater and solid

waste such as coal ash

The TGD will improve China’s air quality

by not creating contaminants that cause acid

rain and greenhouse effects in East and Cen-

tral China. In addition, hydropower saves the

energy needed to mine, wash, and transport

coal from northern China.

Despite such accomplishments, some crit-

ics assert that the huge hydroelectric facility

is having the following negative impacts on

the environment:

■ Wastewater collection increased. More

than one billion tons of wastewater are

released annually into the Yangtze River,

which in the past was moved downstream

before the river was dammed and the res-

ervoir was created. Now the water in the

reservoir appears stagnant and polluted.

■ Decrease in forest cover. The Three

Gorges, especially in the Yangtze Basin

upstream from the Three Gorges Dam,

currently has 10% forestation, down from

20% in the 1950s.

■ Loss of wildlife. The region provides habi-

tats for hundreds of freshwater and terres-

trial animal species. Some of the species

that have been negatively impacted by

the TGD include Chinese (Baiji) river

dolphins, Siberian cranes, and Yangtze

sturgeon. Freshwater fish are especially

affected by dams due to changes in the

water temperature and flow regime. Many

fish are injured in the turbine blades of

hydroelectric plants as well.

■ Increased erosion and sedimentation.

At current levels, 80% of the land in the

area is experiencing erosion, depositing

about 40 million tons of sediment into

the Yangtze River annually because the

flow is slower above the dam. Much of

the sediment will now settle there instead

of flowing downstream, and there will be

less sediment downstream.

Controlling FloodsThe Three Gorges Dam project is designed

to adjust the Yangtze River’s upstream flood,

which will ensure successful flood control of

the Jingjiang section, CTGC sources say. The

project’s goal is to prevent 10-year floods

and control 100-year floods of the Yangtze

River. Even in the rare case of a 1,000-year

flood, mass damages or injuries can be pre-

vented, according to the CTGC.

At the same time, serious problems—

such as environmental degradation and dis-

ease epidemics related to floods or flood

diversion—will also be avoided. Thus, the

project will protect 1.5 million hectares of

farmland and towns and 15 million people

from flood damage in the Jianghan Plain and

the Dongting Lake area. ■

Walney Offshore Windfarms, Irish Sea, UK

Owners/operator: DONG Energy and Partners/DONG Energy

Officially commissioned in February 2012, the two Walney Offshore Windfarms—Walney 1 and Walney 2—together have 102 wind turbines with a total capacity of 367.2 MW. With their combined capacity, the windfarms qualify as one of the world’s largest offshore wind energy facilities and provide clean electricity to approximately 320,000 UK households.


Long a seafaring nation, the United

Kingdom (UK) is now in the forefront

of nations embracing offshore wind

power. In fact, the scale of offshore wind

power currently being planned by the UK

renewable energy industry is larger than in

any other country.

When commissioned in February 2012,

the 367-MW Walney Offshore Windfarms

(Walney 1 and Walney 2) became the

world’s largest offshore wind energy instal-

lation. Then in September 2012, construc-

tion of the even larger 500-MW Greater

Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm off the Suf-

folk Coast was completed. Upping the ante,

the 630-MW London Array offshore wind

project is currently under construction.

Looking farther down the road, other UK

offshore wind farms in the pipeline will be

even larger; these include Dogger Bank at

9,000 MW, Norfolk Bank at 7,200 MW,

and Irish Sea at 4,200 MW.

Constructed in two phases during 2010

and 2011, the Walney Offshore Windfarms

are located approximately 15 kilometers (km)

off Walney Island in the Irish Sea. DONG

Energy (50.1%), Scottish and Southern En-

ergy (25.1%), and OPW (24.8%), a company

jointly owned by Dutch pension administrator

PGGM and Ampère Equity Fund (managed

by Triodos Investment Management), are be-

hind Walney (UK) Offshore Windfarms Ltd.

DONG Energy served as the lead partner in

the Walney Offshore Windfarms’ construc-

tion phase and is also the operator.

Construction OverviewThe Walney facility was constructed accord-

ing to the multi-contract model, working in

close cooperation with all the contractors and

suppliers, Jens Hansen, project manager with

DONG Energy, told POWER in September.

The project also optimized the installation

time through parallel installation (Figure 1).

“We installed the largest wind turbine foun-

dations ever made—almost 70 meters (m) long

and weighing more than 800 tonnes. In addi-

tion, our project was one of the first wind farms

to use the new Siemens 120-m rotor diameter

turbine with blade improvements,” Hansen said.

“The entire Walney facility has a combined to-

tal of 102 3.6-MW Siemens wind turbines.”

“The offshore logistics for Walney 2 was

a big challenge, but due to good planning

it was all done according to the plan,” said

Hansen. He explained that by approaching

the Walney project via a multi-contracting

strategy, project managers were able to miti-

gate and handle risks and uncertainties quick-

ly. Consequently, project management had a

high awareness of the dangers and potential

upsides in the project and thereby increased

their ability to do parallel installation with

controlled risk exposure.

tivities in the multi-contracting project. A

number of subcontractors performed the

following duties:

■ Seajacks from the UK installed the wind

turbines.

■ Geosea and Ballast Nedam handled the

foundation installation.

■ VSMC and Prysmian installed the cables.

■ Scaldis installed the offshore substation.

■ Tideway handled the scour protection.

Facility OperationsThe Walney Offshore Windfarms are located

in the Irish Sea, which is characterized by

high tides and waves, and windy weather.

The difference between high tide and low

tide is approximately 8 m. The wind speed is

estimated to average approximately 9.3 m/s

at 80 m. Even though the wind farms cover

an area of roughly 73 km2, they are located

far enough from the coast that their visual

impact is minimal.

Each of the 102 turbines generates elec-

tricity at a voltage of 33 kV. Offshore sub-

stations collect electricity from the wind

turbines and step up the voltage to 132 kV

for the local grid. “The Walney 1 offshore

substation is connected to the national grid

by a 44-km-long buried export cable at the

substation in Heysham, whereas the Wal-

ney 2 offshore substation is connected to

the national grid at Cleveleys near Black-

pool, via a 43-km-long buried export ca-

ble,” Hansen explained.

The Operation and Maintenance (O&M)

Base in the new purpose-built premises at

Barrow’s Ramsden Docks consists of an

office for administration, welfare, and ca-

tering for personnel and a warehouse for

storing equipment for maintenance of the

offshore wind farms. Two new purpose-

built service vessels and a new service

pontoon are in place to enable the transport

of service technicians to and from the wind

farms. From the O&M Base, turbine opera-

tions can be monitored 24 hours a day and

a local crew of approximately 60 people

will ensure that the Walney Offshore Wind-

farms are in operation for the next 25 years,

according to Hansen.

“The wind conditions are very good and

the area also has very good grid connection

possibilities; hence, we have other wind farms

in the area and therefore gain a certain syner-

gy,” Hansen said. “When we have more activ-

ities in the area, DONG Energy as a company

gains a better opportunity to work with the

local community (like we have done with the

Walney Fun Run) and to be an attractive em-

ployer for the skilled labor in the area.”

Monitoring for Possible Environmental ImpactsThe marine environment and bird life in

and around the facility were carefully

studied before the wind farms’ construc-

tion was authorized. During the two years

of construction, additional work was done

to ensure that construction activities re-

mained within acceptable limits for noise

and other disturbances, according to Mike

Robson, senior environmental advisor on

the Walney facility team. In fact, as Hansen

explained, “During the Walney Offshore

Windfarms’ construction, we were not al-

lowed to install the monopole foundation

during the period from February until April

7 due to the spawning season for the sole.”

Wind farm personnel are now conducting

post-construction environmental surveys.

“Now that the wind farms are completed,

a series of surveys will be carried out dur-

ing the next few years to keep an eye on any

possible impact the wind farms may have,”

Robson said. “Only minor impacts are ex-

pected on the seabed sediments and the

marine fauna, including fish and shellfish,

encountered in and around the wind farms.”

Starting in late April 2012, survey ves-

sels began taking samples to study marine

organisms in and on the seabed, and a spe-

cially chartered fishing vessel is taking

trial catches of fish using a scientific beam

trawl. Also in 2012, a series of bird surveys

will be made from a boat to count birds in

and around the wind farms.

The surveys’ results will be presented

to scientific advisors at the Centre for

Environment, Fisheries, and Aquaculture

Science, an executive agency of the UK’s

Department for Environment, Food, and

Rural Affairs. “The surveys will help to

improve our knowledge of the sea and its

resources in the Walney Offshore Wind-

farms’ area,” Robson said.

Powering the Future With their projected annual production of

approximately 1,400 GWh, the Walney

Offshore Windfarms are set up to benefit

from the UK Renewables Obligation Cer-

tificate regime, which will create value for

the facility owners, explained Hansen.

He noted that the wind farms also ben-

efit the local economy: “They will create

jobs and business opportunities. A lot of

persons have had direct and, maybe more

importantly, indirect benefits from the wind

farms’ construction activities and will also

benefit for many years to come from their

operations.”

Currently, the UK offshore wind energy

sector appears to have the wind at its back.

In 2011, Renewable UK, a leading UK re-

newable energy association, conducted a

study of deployment trends that analyzed

the existing pipeline of future UK offshore

wind projects. The study projects that by

2016 there will be about 8 GW of installed

capacity and a total of approximately 18

GW by 2020.

In terms of its contribution to net UK

electricity production, offshore wind en-

ergy supplied around 1.5% in 2011. This

amount will grow to between 7% and 8%

by 2016 and to approximately 17% by

2020, according to Renewable UK. ■

RENEWABLES

Distributed Solar Challenges Utilities, Markets, and RegulationElectricity produced from solar energy is being added to the grid—before and

after the meter—in greater amounts each year. The uniqueness of this re-source is pushing utilities, developers, users, and regulators to develop new and innovative interconnection rules and to rewrite some old rules that balance the costs and rewards among stakeholders.

By David Wagman

The amount of installed solar generating

capacity in the U.S. is almost laughably

small.

According to a report released in mid-Sep-

tember by the Solar Energy Industries Asso-

ciation (SEIA), the U.S. solar industry added

742 MW of new capacity in the second quarter

of 2012, its second-best quarter ever. Utility

installations hit 477 MW during the quarter.

And eight states posted utility solar installa-

tions of 10 MW or more: California, Arizona,

Nevada, Texas, Illinois, North Carolina, New

Mexico, and New Jersey. In total, the U.S. now

has 5,700 MW of installed solar capacity.

Remember, however, that the U.S. had

319,000 MW of installed coal capacity and

413,000 MW of natural gas capacity in 2011.

For many utilities, the 742 MW of solar capac-

ity added between April and June is less than a

single good-sized power plant. Solar’s growth

still may be exponential, but that growth is

from such a small number that it can’t hold a

candle to the installed fossil base.

But in much the same way as a handful of

fleas can drive a dog mad, distributed forms

of generation in general are causing anxiety

for many big-dog utilities from their nose

to their tail. Voltage fluctuations, ramping

episodes, and unpredictable availability

and output are common challenges facing

system operators tasked with dispatching

distributed resources alongside traditional

forms of generation. Roof-mounted, cus-

tomer-owned solar also poses something of

an existential threat to incumbent utilities

by slicing away part of their load and a por-

tion of their revenue.

Companies such as SolarCity and Light-

house Solar operate on business models that

typically don’t involve incumbent utilities;

but should a cloudy day cut a residential roof-

top solar system’s output to zero, those same

utilities are expected to keep the lights on.

Faced with a reduction in load and revenues

caused in part by distributed solar, efforts are

under way in some places to rethink utility

business models to address problems such as

how best to compensate utilities for provid-

ing what amounts to a safety net to back up

growing amounts of distributed generation

(DG). And, given the power industry’s his-

tory of regulation, reform of the regulatory

model also may be necessary to integrate still

more distributed generation into the grid.

For example, Georgia state legislators this

year let die a proposal that challenged Georgia

Power’s monopoly on the sale of power to and

from utilities by allowing companies to lease

rooftop space for solar panels and then sell the

electricity to the property owner. Current law

allows power to be sold only to utilities, and

only utilities can sell to retail customers. The

bill is expected to be revived in 2013.

And in Texas, Pedernales Electric Coop-

erative finalized agreements in October for

two DG pilot programs with NRG SolarLife

and CommunitySun to bring additional solar

resources to members of one of the nation’s

largest co-ops. NRG SolarLife offers resi-

dential solar array leasing, and Communi-

tySun offers a SolarCondo concept in which

participants buy “shares” in a large-scale

solar facility. Pilot programs are still in de-

velopment; Pedernales plans to introduce the

SolarLife pilot early next year.

“Some utilities say ‘solar sucks’ and oth-

ers are constructive,” said Angiolo Laviziano,

CEO of Mainstream Energy/REC Solar dur-

ing a Department of Energy–sponsored so-

lar conference in Denver last June. Culture

clash is one problem. Some solar companies

believe they are in business to change the

world, not simply generate electricity, Lavi-

ziano said. “[Solar companies] don’t under-

stand that utilities are not structured that way.

We show up and speak different languages.”

Jared Schoch, managing director of utility

sales at SunEdison, said the solar industry gen-

erally lacks an understanding of most utilities’

business models. “Solar guys don’t understand

that right now [solar energy] costs too much.”

Two challenges for the solar industry are to

show that solar provides value for utility inves-

tors and that it can offer reliable service.

But Patrick Dinkel, vice president of Power

Marketing, Resource Planning and Acquisi-

tions for Arizona Public Service, told the DOE

conference that distributed solar photovoltaic

(PV) installations are now a part of his util-

ity’s generation portfolio. Although he saw no

“legitimate long-term conflicts” as a result of

integrating more PV into the utility’s system,

he said work still must be done when it comes

to utility business models and regulation.

Learning New TricksThat notion was echoed by others in the in-

dustry. “Often, technology is the smaller part

of the problem,” said Karl Rábago in a recent

interview with POWER. Rábago, a consultant

and former Texas state utility regulator, DOE

official, and executive with Austin Energy,

said he agrees that although renewable inte-

gration issues have been debated for decades,

the topic remains timely. And indications are

that the flea-irritated electric industry dog

may be learning a few new tricks.

Those “tricks” include new approaches to

address operational, business, and regulatory

challenges posed by DG. It’s worth starting

with a look at how Public Service Electric &

Gas (PSE&G) in New Jersey has coped op-

erationally with large amounts of distributed

solar generation resources.

New Jersey ranks medium in terms of so-

lar resource quality but high when it comes

to incentives and public policies aimed at

promoting solar generation and expanding

solar jobs in the state. Although the Beach

Boys may never write a song praising New

Jersey’s sun, for the last couple of years the

state has ranked second only to California in

terms of new solar generation connections.

As recently as the first quarter of 2012, New

Jersey ranked first in the nation for new solar

connections, with projects brought online by

15 different developers, including PSE&G.

Indeed, since July 2009, PSE&G has in-

vested $515 million to develop around 80

MW of solar energy resource, spending the

equivalent of around $6,400/kW. That total

includes 40 MW of capacity installed on va-

cant lots and brownfield industrial sites and

40 MW of capacity from around 150,000 5

x 2.5-foot, 235-W panels attached to utility

poles across the company’s service territory

(Figure 1). Finding a U.S. utility with more

distributed solar generation may be difficult.

But for all this distributed capacity, the ill

effects on operations are almost nil for the

11,000-MW, summer-peaking utility.

“We are seeing no real impacts,” said Bill

Labos, PSE&G director of asset reliability.

Currently, PSE&G has about 358 MW of so-

lar installed in its service territory, including

80 MW of utility-owned capacity; the rest

consists of customer- and developer-owned

capacity. Indeed, the utility expects little im-

pact on its system until as much as 500 MW

of solar are installed, a threshold the util-

ity could approach in the next several years

following its request to state regulators this

summer for permission to add another 137

MW of solar capacity.

One reason for PSE&G’s ease in adding so-

lar resources—and a key reason why utilities

elsewhere may have integration problems—

is that the utility’s distribution feeders have

enough “stiffness” to accommodate the volt-

age fluctuations common with an intermittent

solar resource. Labos said many of the utility’s

feeders are 3 to 5 miles long and stiff enough

to accommodate anywhere from 2 MW to 5

MW of distributed solar with little trouble.

The exceptions that prove the rule lie in

rural southern New Jersey. There, solar farms

larger than 5 MW are on feeder circuits that

average 7 miles in length. In some places,

high voltage fluctuations—the bane of grid

operators elsewhere in the country—are

large enough that the utility is taking advan-

tage of advanced inverter technology, which

can absorb volt-amps reactive (VAR). Invert-

ers on the tail end of long feeders are set up to

absorb VARs, thereby balancing the current

flows and correcting the circuit voltage pro-

file. Inverters are relatively straightforward

mid-2009, PSE&G has invested $515 million

pieces of equipment that convert DC output

from a wind farm or a solar array to AC for

distribution to a load or to the grid. Recent

technology advancements enable increas-

ingly “smart” inverters to play starring roles

in efforts to integrate ever-larger amounts of

solar into the grid.

For now, however, a principal factor

limiting efforts to integrate an intermittent

distributed resource such as solar or wind

is voltage on a distribution feeder, said Jeff

Smith, a senior project manager with the

Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

in an interview with POWER.

“Some distribution feeders are short

and fat and others are long and skinny,” he

said. Identifying which can best accommo-

date distributed solar can be difficult, since

no two distribution systems are alike. As a

rule of thumb, connecting an intermittent

resource near a substation has less impact

in terms of voltage fluctuations than con-

necting it miles away. Work by EPRI, util-

ity partners, and the vendor community is

intended to enhance inverter capabilities to

bolster grid support and voltage control.

Solving for X and YFor years, the equation that grid operators

had to solve in order to balance supply

and demand included a constantly varying

load met by a generally stable and known

amount of generation, most of it fossil,

hydro, or nuclear. The accelerating addi-

tion of intermittent resources from renew-

able energy over the past decade tacked a

big unknown—variability—onto the gen-

eration side of the equation.

Now, instead of dealing with one un-

known variable involving demand, grid

operators regularly face a second unknown

variable, this time involving generation

resources. That’s because intermittent re-

sources differ from conventional and fossil-

fired resources in a fundamental way: Their

fuel source (wind and sunlight) cannot be

controlled or (for now, anyway) stored in

a practical and cost-effective manner (Fig-

ure 2). The challenge is particularly acute

in areas where DG resources make a sig-

nificant contribution to the generation mix,

including New Jersey, parts of California,

Colorado, and the Texas and Midwest grid

operating regions.

A further complication is that fuel avail-

ability for variable resources often does

not match electricity demand in terms of

time of use or geographic location. For

example, peak availability of wind power

often occurs during periods of relatively

low electricity demand. And on hot, sultry

summer days when consumers in general

and grid operators in particular would kill

for a breeze, wind production often drops

to near zero.

Yet another complication is that the out-

put of variable resources often is character-

ized by steep “ramps” that can be caused

by clouds moving across a solar array or

the passing of a weather front that chang-

es how much wind is blowing. Managing

these ramps can challenge system opera-

tors, particularly if “down” ramps occur as

demand increases, and vice versa. These

challenges can be intensified if the rest

of the bulk power system lacks sufficient

generating resources that can be dispatched

quickly, whether that takes the form of a

pumped hydro facility or a fast-start gas-

fired machine.

Aidan Tuohy, senior project engineer

with EPRI, told POWER that multiple is-

sues must be addressed to successfully in-

tegrate large amounts of distributed energy

resources.

First is the need for system flexibil-

ity as intermittent resources such as wind

and solar ramp up and down. Flexibility

to accommodate these fluctuations can be

accomplished by dispatching generation

resources such as combined cycle and com-

bustion turbine units, pumped hydro stor-

age resources, and even battery storage.

Second, forecasting tools are necessary

to help system operators anticipate the

amount of intermittent resource that may

be available. Although accurate day-ahead

forecasts can be difficult for solar and wind

resources, even an hours-ahead forecast can

help operators more efficiently utilize the

generation system. For example, the Elec-

tric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT),

among other balancing authorities, has inte-

grated forecasting methods into its market

operations, and accurate forecasting is prov-

ing important for Xcel Energy’s Colorado

operations, where more than 50% of over-

all generation has been provided by wind a

number of times.

Third, grid stability issues have grown

in importance over the past 20 years as

diminishing amounts of inertia from con-

ventional power plants have impeded

somewhat the grid’s ability to offer fre-

quency response. Tuohy speculated that the

grid’s frequency response ability has been

declining and could be due in part to mar-

ket design issues in which generators are

sometimes disincentivized from providing

frequency response services. The problem

may be exacerbated as inverter-based ener-

gy from solar and wind resources displaces

system inertia provided by conventional

power plants. That’s because while large

conventional generators spin at 60 Hz,

inverter-based power sources don’t. While

wind can provide what Tuohy called “emu-

lated inertia,” the result is a decline in the

system’s naturally occurring inertia, which

may be a factor in grid stability.

Fourth, because most distributed PV

systems are connected to the grid using

standards spelled out under IEEE 1547

guidelines to prevent islanding, it can be

difficult to control system ride-throughs

when voltages drop. Tuohy said efforts are

under way to reconcile IEEE standard with

bulk system needs.

Fifth, wind resources in particular can

increase conventional generator cycling,

which can have long-term effects on opera-

tions and maintenance costs, outages, and

lifetime efficiency.

Market Rules and RegulationsOperational issues are only one part of the

story. It’s sometimes easy to forget just how

regulated and controlled the electric power

market is. Both state and federal regulators

guide power market functions through pol-

icy mandates and incentives. Deregulation

took hold in around half of the states during

its high water mark in the late 1990s and led

to a patchwork quilt of regulatory structures.

Public policy makers—whether elected or

appointed—apply a sometimes bewildering

array of incentives, directives, and Band-

Aids to achieve a variety of goals.



RENEWABLES

Many policy actions in recent years have

focused on creating, supporting, and nur-

turing opportunities for renewable energy.

The table highlights policy initiatives un-

dertaken by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC) since the 1980s to

open transmission markets, cope with in-

termittent resources, and facilitate renew-

able energy’s integration into the grid.

Many federal and state policies seek to

remedy the fact that wind and solar projects

can be at an economic disadvantage with

conventional generation resources, at least

initially. In states where renewable resources

are valued as a matter of public policy, the

effort has been to pursue business and market

reforms intended to open market opportuni-

ties for renewable energy. Those efforts are

by no means simple.

Revising Net MeteringTake net metering, for example, which al-

lows solar system owners to roll their meters

backward as they generate electricity and sell

excess output into the grid. Solar generation

owners are paid retail rates for the electricity

they feed into the grid. But they also may end

up at the end of the month with a zero balance

on their utility bill. In other words, net meter-

ing can enable solar owners to avoid paying

the underlying cost of transmission and dis-

tribution that they themselves used to send

self-generated power to the grid. Not surpris-

ingly, many utilities—and perhaps even a few

customers—find the arrangement inequitable.

Former Austin Energy executive Rábago

said that one flaw behind net metering is that it

is “directly tied to consumption; it’s an incen-

tive not to conserve energy.” Austin Energy’s

experience shows that many solar customers

respond by using more energy on the mistaken

assumption that their consumption is “free”

once a solar system is installed.

The Texas-based utility earlier this year

introduced what it hopes will be a fix to the

problem: a “distributed PV value calculator”

known as the “Value of Solar” rate. Beginning

this fall, solar owners in Austin will be billed

the same 1.8 cents to 11.4 cents per kWh that

non-solar customers are billed, plus the same

$10 monthly customer charge. Solar owners

also will be credited with 12.8 cents for every

kilowatt-hour they send to the utility. If the

rate works, it may ensure the utility’s ability

to recover the cost of providing ancillary and

partial requirements services to solar custom-

ers, enable those costs to be more equitably

spread among customers, and reassure solar

owners that they will continue to receive a fi-

nancial incentive for their investment.

Rethinking Dispatch MarketsRegion-wide market reforms also are proving

critical to integrating large amounts of DG

into the generation mix. Both the Southwest

Power Pool and the California Independent

System Operator (CAISO) have proposed

creating an energy imbalance market (EIM)

in the Western Interconnect that would com-

press dispatch market intervals from 1 hour at

present to 5 minutes. The market would pay

generators for making power available on this

more rapid timetable. Creating an effective

EIM would require increasing the region’s

footprint to include a larger number of gen-

erating units with the flexibility to respond

rapidly to changing loads and intermittent re-

sources. Putting such a market mechanism in

place would require “significant upgrades” so

that power producers could communicate with

a centralized dispatch authority, said Thomas

Veselka, a researcher with Argonne National

Laboratory, who is working on the initiative.

Moving to larger balancing areas for dis-

patch purposes means that even more re-

sources are available, lessening the overall

variability effects of an individual wind farm

or solar array, said Charlie Smith, execu-

tive director of the Utility Wind Integration

Group. Moving to this sort of model is not

cost-free, however, as transmission improve-

ments to tie together far-flung generating

units likely will be required. “Transmission

is the critical issue,” Smith said. “You can’t

have well-functioning markets with conges-

tion,” which results from inadequate trans-

mission resources. What’s more, efforts to

move to a sub-hourly and even 5-minute mar-

ket will likely require enhanced communica-

tion capabilities between regional dispatch

authorities and generating resources.

CAISO views market rules as critical to de-

veloping products and services that incentivize

efforts to balance the bulk power system as re-

newable resources are added. “The system in

California and across the entire industry is very

much in flux,” said Mark Rothleder, executive

director of Market Analysis and Development

for CAISO. In an interview with POWER,

Rothleder outlined market mechanisms critical

to keeping California’s grid in balance.

First, CAISO introduced incentives intend-

ed to compensate entities that provide ramp-

ing services, a condition that Rothleder said

poses “significant challenges” for CAISO.

The idea is to allow resources to bid into the

market to provide both up and down ramping

services as loads and resources change.

Second, because CAISO expects too much

generation to be available at times, it set a bid

floor equal to –$30. That negative price floor

has proven inadequate given that wind and

solar resources often operate with tax credits

and power purchase agreements that make it

economically rational for them to continue to

produce power even after prices go negative.

To correct that, CAISO wants the bid floor

reduced to –$150 to incentivize a price-based

reduction in supply.

“If the system is in an over-generating

condition and at a point where we still have

too much energy, we want an incentive for re-

newable resources to offer bids to back down

to the minimum,” Rothleder said.

Revising Rule 21Grid-balancing authorities and regional dis-

patch areas are not the only places where

reform is under way to cope with increasing

amounts of DG resources. State utility regu-

lators also play an important role.

For example, the California Public Utilities

Commission (CPUC) in September approved

a deal involving the state’s major utilities and

renewable energy advocates that is aimed at

streamlining the process for connecting DG

resources to the grid. The CPUC’s action will

make it easier for small amounts of distrib-

uted resources—such as rooftop solar PV

systems—to connect. The agreement also

revises upward the amount of DG that can be

connected to a specific power line segment

without the need for supplemental studies.

The agreement revises the CPUC’s 13-year-

old Rule 21, itself a landmark. Rule 21 set a

threshold for instances where the amount of

DG on a line section exceeds 15% of that

line’s annual peak load. The so-called “15%

threshold” was later adopted by FERC and by

most states as a model for developing inter-

connection rules. The CPUC’s action revised

California’s standard to allow aggregate in-

terconnected DG capacity equal to 100% of

minimum load on a distribution line section.

The settlement agreement was filed with

the CPUC on March 16 and involved 14 par-

ties, including Pacific Gas and Electric Co.,

San Diego Gas & Electric Co., Southern Cali-

fornia Edison, Sierra Club, and the SEIA. The

SEIA’s vice president of regulatory affairs,

Don Adamson, told POWER his organization

filed a motion in February with FERC (Docket

No. RM 12-10), urging it to replace the federal

15% threshold with a standard equal to 100%

of minimum daylight load. SEIA said that so-

lar developers believed for years that the 15%

screen for fast-track interconnection was more

restrictive than necessary to maintain distribu-

tion system safety and reliability. This view

was supported by a January 2012 report, titled

“Updating Interconnection Screens for PV

System Integration,” by the National Renew-

able Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Lab-

oratory, and EPRI. The report suggests that an

alternative fast-track screen—namely 100%

of minimum daytime load—can be used when

the 15% threshold is crossed.

SEIA said that should FERC adopt its pro-

posed revision, the amount of solar wholesale

DG capacity eligible for fast-track intercon-

nection would roughly double and make in-

terconnection faster and less costly for many

solar projects.

Three ModelsTraditional cost-of-service regulation re-

mains a mainstay of public utility commis-

sions in states that retain full regulatory

authority over electric service. But that regu-

latory model may be impeding utilities from

meeting some of the challenges posed by

DG, said Ron Binz, a former Colorado pub-

lic utility regulator and consultant at work on

the Utilities 2020 project with funding from

the Energy Foundation. He said critical con-

cerns include the loss of load and revenue by

incumbent utilities as a result of DG, similar

to what Austin Energy faced. “Utilities have

to decide in the face of some percentage of

profitable customers going away how to ad-

just to that,” Binz said.

Three models are gaining attention as a

way to cope with the challenges posed by

DG’s ascendency.

The first is a model based on efforts in the

United Kingdom to regulate utility prices

without considering the utility’s underlying

rate of return or profitability. By contrast,

the typical U.S. regulatory model seeks to

set prices that may be charged along with an

allowable rate of return. In the UK model,

regulators set a price ceiling and then allow

the utility to figure out how to maximize its

profitability. Binz said this model has the ad-

vantage of encouraging utilities to embrace

operating efficiencies and pursue business

decisions that improve the bottom line. Cus-

tomers benefit because the price they pay for

electricity can’t rise above a certain ceiling.

The approach is intended to help utilities be

more entrepreneurial—a potential benefit

when it comes to working with customers

with rooftop solar, for example. Both Nation-

al Grid and Mid-American Energy have ex-

perience with the UK model through various

business units, and Binz said their reaction so

far has been positive.

The second approach, known as the “Iowa

Model,” involves Mid-American and spanned

the years from 1995 to 2012. Under a regula-

tory experiment, the utility went 17 years with-

out changing the price of electricity (which

included no fuel clauses, no adjustment mech-

anisms, and no formal rate case). The model

set up a system in which Mid-American oper-

ated like a price-capped company. Prices re-

mained steady, but the utility’s earnings were

ignored by regulators. This approach relies on

the utility turning inward to generate income

growth and—according to Binz—resulted in

rates of return for the utility in the high teens.

Binz called the third model the “Grand

Bargain” and said that under this approach,

regulators tell the utility and intervenors

(everyone from industrial power users to

consumer advocacy groups) to work out a

multi-year deal that achieves specific goals.

From the outset, regulators specify that not

everyone needs to agree with the final bargain

for it to be approved. This approach “takes a

lot more work than typically is done,” Binz

said, but it can lead to a positive outcome for

most if not all of the involved parties.

Regulatory reform often requires statu-

tory changes by state legislatures. But Binz

said the three models he outlined can be em-

ployed by most regulatory authorities under

legal structures already in place.

Tackling Tough IssuesDistributed generation—and distributed so-

lar in particular—is making inroads into the

generation mix. Even if its total installed

capacity remains flea-like compared with

big dogs coal and natural gas, distributed

solar’s impact is magnified by the multiple

operational, business, and regulatory chal-

lenges it poses.

Though utilities such as PSE&G and Aus-

tin Energy have done a good job accepting

DG into their systems, market and regulatory

challenges remain to be solved in many parts

of the country, and efforts are under way

to tackle even the thorniest of those issues.

More difficult could be closing the cultural

gap that exists between incumbent utilities

and solar advocates. As Mainstream Energy’s

Laviziano noted, utilities and solar advocates

often “speak different languages.”

Many utilities continue to approach DG

warily, an understandable reaction given the size

of their infrastructure investment, their cautious

nature as engineering-based businesses, and

their responsibility to keep the lights on. They

seek concrete proof that the bulk generation and

distribution systems will remain intact. After all,

“all utilities are from Missouri,” said Rábago.

Their approach is “show me first.” ■

POWER IN CHINA

Renewable Energy Development Thrives During China’s 12th Five-Year PlanChina’s 12th Five-Year Plan calls for expanding the use of renewable energy in

all forms throughout the country. From solar and wind to biomass gas and briquettes, China has a true “all of the above” renewable energy policy.

By Zeng Ming, Lü Chunquan, Ma Mingjuan, Peng Lilin, Yan Binjie, Li Na, and Xue Song, North China Electric Power University, Beijing

Renewable energy, in all its forms, is an

important part of China’s sustainable

electricity system development. Accel-

erating the development and use of renewable

energy has become an effective and efficient

way for China to respond to the increasingly

serious problems of increasing energy supply

while minimizing environmental impact.

This article examines the renewable energy

portion of China’s 12th Five-Year Plan, from

development to implementation over the pe-

riod 2011 to 2015 and provides an update on

renewable energy accomplishments made dur-

ing the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006–2010). For

each renewable technology, practical sugges-

tions are provided that would further strength-

en the plan’s goal of bringing electricity to all

while reducing China’s use of fossil fuels.

China’s Renewable ProgramRenewable energy plays an important part in

China’s overall energy plan. Its use has many

favorable outcomes, such as wide resource

distribution, high exploitation potential, re-

duced environmental impact, and sustainable

use. China’s rapid economic and social de-

velopment has made energy demand growth,

resource depletion, and environment pollu-

tion increasingly serious. The development

and use of renewable energy has become an

important means for China to guarantee its

energy security and to strengthen environ-

mental protection. Therefore, accelerating

the development and use of renewable energy

is a necessary way for China to simultane-

ously address the serious problems of energy

supply and environmental protection.

The renewable energy goals set for the

12th Five-Year Plan are substantial, as was

discussed in an earlier article (“China’s 12th

Five-Year Plan Pushes Power Industry in New

Directions,” January 2012, available in the

POWER archives at www.powermag.com).

Renewable energy development is key to

China achieving its goal of 11.4% of primary

energy consumption from non-fossil sources

in 2015 and 15% in 2020. It’s also necessary

to speed up renewable energy policy changes

and to promote the sustainable development

of its renewable energy industry. The current

plan builds on the success of the 11th Five-

Year Plan, during which the 2005 Renewable

Energy Law was made effective, renewable

energy markets were established, renewable

resource evaluations were completed, and

many renewable projects began construction

(Table 1). Today, many renewable energy

technologies have been commercialized, and

the markets for their use are quickly expand-

ing. China’s renewable energy industry has

now entered the next stage of development:

comprehensive, fast, and large scale.

Technology and Market ChallengesRenewable energy, in its many forms, is now

an important part of China’s national energy

development strategy. However, significant

challenges remain before China can reach its

renewable energy goals.

Technical and economic problems of re-

newable energy development are still China’s

most fundamental problems. In recent years,

renewable energy technology has improved

rapidly, but most renewable energy industries

are still in a growth phase, except hydropower

and solar water heaters. The growing markets

have experienced uneven distribution of prod-

ucts and many manufacturing disruptions. The

cost of development and use of the products

also remains high. Renewable energy still lacks

competitiveness under current market circum-

stances, so it is necessary for China to rely on

policy support to sustain development.

Furthermore, management systems and

market mechanisms are having difficulty

adapting to full-scale development of renew-

able energy. The operational characteristics

of large, conventional energy resources are

much different than those of relatively small

and distributed renewable energy resources

now operating. Also, the effect of intermit-

tent operation of renewable energy sources

has become more apparent as the use of re-

newable sources grows. Consequently, China

has found it necessary to establish new power

management systems, market mechanisms,

and technical support systems to handle large

amounts of renewable electricity.

Additionally, China is working to develop

a system of basic research, technological in-

novation, and competitiveness—although that

effort is still in process. A large gap remains

between China and developed countries when

it comes to key technologies for renewable

energy. However, China is constantly improv-

ing the training of those who will work in the

country’s renewable energy industry.

Renewable Goals During the 12th Five-Year Plan According to the 12th Five-Year Plan, renew-

able energy use of all forms will expand con-

siderably. In addition, the plan promotes the

fusion of renewable energy and conventional

energy systems, invests in technology inno-

vation and core technologies, and establishes

a strong, fully functioning renewable energy

industry (Table 2).

The measure chosen to track accomplish-

ments is equivalent tons standard coal usage

that is offset by renewables. For example, by

2015, annual utilization of renewable energy

resources is expected to reach 0.47 billion

tons standard coal, of which 0.4 billion tons

are commercialized renewable resources or

about 9.5% of China’s energy consumption.

Renewable energy generation is expected

to reach over 20% of total generation by

2015. New installed renewable energy capac-

ity is planned to be 1,600 GW, of which 610

GW will be from conventional hydropower,

700 GW from wind power, and 75 GW from

biological mass-energy (biomass).

By 2015, annual renewable energy resourc-

es to replace fossil energy for heating and civil

fuels (fuels used to heat and/or power govern-

ment and other buildings) will be equivalent

to about 100 million tons standard coal. Ex-

pansion in the use of solar thermal energy,

promoting the direct use of medium- and

low-temperature geothermal energy and heat

pump technology, increasing the use of bio-

mass briquettes, expanding the use of biomass

combined heat and power generation, and

speeding up the development of biogas and

other biomass gases are all very important for

China to achieve its renewable energy goals.

China must expand its power grid hardware

and management systems to handle the power

produced by large-scale renewable projects.

While that work continues, the 12th Five-Year

Plan adds more, including the construction

of 30 new energy microgrid demonstration

projects, 100 new energy demonstration cit-

ies, and 200 green energy demonstration

counties (each discussed in more detail later

in this article). These projects will integrate

diverse renewable energy technologies, such

as distributed power generation and renewable

energy heating and fuel utilization. The target

penetration of distributed renewable energy in

rural areas is above 50%.

Large-scale renewable projects and the

policy systems required to support renewable

energy development remain a large part of the

renewable energy portion of the 12th Five-Year

Plan. In fact, the plan calls out eight specific

renewable energy categories for development.

Each is described in the following sections.

Hydropower FlourishesBy 2020, the total installed hydropower capacity

in China will reach 420 GW, with conventional

hydropower at 350 GW and pumped-storage

power stations at 70 GW, according to the Na-

tional Energy Administration.

The key goals for developing new hydropow-

er should include close government coordina-

tion to improve the well-being of those relocated

to make way for a new hydropower project, as

well as the stated goals of environment protec-

tion, local economic and social development,

and strengthening hydropower planning.

During the 12th Five-Year period, the total

installed capacity of all hydropower projects

is planned to increase by 160 GW, with 40

GW of new pumped-storage power stations.

Of that 160-GW increase, 74 GW will be new

hydropower installations—of which small hy-

dropower plants would provide 10 GW plus 13

GW of pumped-storage capacity. By 2015, total

installed hydropower capacity will reach 290

GW, 260 GW of which will be from conven-

tional hydropower and 30 GW from pumped-

storage power stations. By then the installed

capacity of existing conventional hydropower

projects will account for 48% of national tech-

nically exploitable capacity (TEC), according

to the National Energy Administration.

By 2015, conventional hydropower capac-

ity installation in the western region alone

will reach 167 GW, accounting for 64% of

China’s total installed capacity, with a devel-

opment level of 38% TEC. In central China,

conventional hydropower capacity installa-

tion will reach 59 GW, accounting for 23%

TEC, and in eastern China it will reach 34

GW, accounting for 13% TEC. At the same

time, the National Energy Administration

predicts the national installed capacity of

pumped-storage power stations will reach 40

GW, mainly distributed in eastern and cen-

tral parts of China, of which 20.7 GW will be

from eastern regions, 8 GW from the central

areas, and 1.3 GW from western areas.

River Basin Hydropower. The central

government must strengthen preliminary

work such as river hydropower planning

and continue to support the demonstration

of Longtou reservoir’s construction in the

middle reaches of the Jinsha River, and con-

duct strategic planning for developing hydro-

power in southeastern Tibet. The government

should put priority on the “Three Rivers”

(Jinsha, Lancang, and Nujiang) and the basic

research work on the “West-East” electricity

transmission project. Priority should be given

to continuing hydropower planning work on

the Yalong River Up Reaches and Brahmapu-

tra River Lower Reaches and the completion of

hydropower planning for the Jinsha River Up

Reaches, Lancang River Up Reaches, Yellow

River Up Reaches, Brahmaputra River Middle

Reaches, Nujiang River and Tongtianhe River,

among others.

Large Hydropower. It is necessary to

accelerate the construction of large hydro-

power stations by concentrating on those

regions with abundant hydropower resources

and on better construction conditions, such

as the middle and lower reaches of the Jin-

sha River, Yalong River, and Dadu River; the

middle and lower reaches of Lancang River;

Yellow River Up Reaches; and Brahmaputra

River Middle Reaches—among others. The

government must continue to implement ca-

pacity enlargement and upgrade hydropower

resources in central and eastern regions.

The distribution of China’s 13 largest hy-

dropower projects is shown in Figure 1.

Small Hydropower. The central govern-

ment must strengthen the comprehensive

management of small and medium-sized river

basin projects, promote hydropower capac-

ity enlargement and efficiency increases, and

improve the development and utilization of

small hydropower in poor areas with abundant

resources. By 2015, the construction of small

hydropower projects in large provinces worth

3 GW and small hydropower in five small

provinces worth 5 GW will be completed.

Pumped Storage. In accordance with

the principle of “integrated planning, rational

distribution,” the construction of pumped-

storage power stations will be accelerated

moderately. In regions where the proportion

of new energy (that is, non-hydro renewable)

systems is high, the government should con-

struct pumped-storage power stations to in-

crease the flexibility and reliability of power

system operation.

In eastern coastal areas that import most

of their electricity, the government should ra-

tionally arrange a number of pumped-storage

power stations to ensure the security and sta-

bility of the electrical network. China’s ma-

jor hydropower stations and pumped-storage

projects under construction during the 12th

Five-Year Plan are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

Wind Power IncreasesBy 2015, the cumulative grid-connected

wind power capacity will reach 100 GW, and

the annual generated energy will surpass 190

billion kWh. Offshore wind power capacity

will reach 5 GW, according to the National

Development and Reform Commission. A

complete wind power equipment manufac-

turing industry that will compete in the in-

ternational market also will be formed. By

2020, the cumulative grid-connected wind

power capacity will reach 200 GW, and the

annual generated energy will surpass 390 bil-

lion kWh. Offshore wind will reach 30 GW.

By 2020, wind power will have become an

essential part of China’s power system.

The government should continue to pro-

mote the large-scale development of wind

power, although development must be equal-

ly split between centralized and decentralized

projects. Wind power resource distribution,

power transmission, and electricity consump-

tion must be carefully coordinated. At the

same time, it is necessary to optimize wind

power development and distribution, estab-

lish suitable dispatching and operating meth-

ods to improve utilization efficiency, enhance

the global competitiveness of equipment, and

improve the wind power service system. The

development pace of wind power will in-

crease during the 12th Five-Year Plan.

By 2015, several concentrated develop-

ment areas with a capacity of more than 5

GW will be completed, such as Jiuquan,

Zhangjiakou, Ulanqab, Xilin Gol, Tongliao,

Chifeng, and Baicheng. There will also be

a couple of concentrated development areas

with a capacity of more than 2 GW, such

as Chengde, Bayannur, Baotou, Xing’an,

Matsubara, Tangshan, Minqin, Daqing, and

Qiqihar. China’s eight planned wind power

sites with a capacity of more than 10 GW are

shown in Figure 2.

The central government should strengthen

the wind energy resource assessment of in-

land areas, except the “Three-North” region,

as well as development and construction in

those areas. It should also accelerate wind

power development in regions with richer

resources and better grid access conditions,

such as Shanxi, Liaoning, Ningxia, and Yun-

nan, among others, and encourage construct-

ing small and medium-sized wind power

projects connected to the grid, as local con-

ditions allow. This allows local wind energy

resources to be consumed locally, which re-

duces the new grid capacity needed.

Transformer substations with voltages

below 110 kV are widely distributed and

near load centers. The central government

will connect wind turbines with appropriate

capacity to the nearby grid but should also

explore the option of combining wind power

with other distributed energy sources to sat-

isfy local electricity needs.

The government should accelerate the re-

source assessment of offshore wind energy,

geological surveys, construction, and other

work preparations. It should also actively

coordinate the relationship between offshore

wind power construction and marine envi-

ronmental protection. Offshore wind power

should be focused on coastal provinces such

as Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hebei, Shandong,

Liaoning, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang,

Guangxi, Hainan, among others. Overall

planning and construction should be sensi-

tive to local conditions. Also, the government

should explore the development of offshore

wind power demonstration projects in deep-

er waters or waters distant from shore. The

distribution of wind power development and

construction is shown in Table 5.

Solar Energy SpreadsBy 2015, the annual utilization of solar energy

will be equal to 500,000 tons standard coal.

The installed capacity of solar power genera-

tion will reach 21 GW, of which 10 GW will

be from photovoltaic (PV) power plants, 1

GW from solar thermal power generation, and

10 GW from grid and off-grid distributed PV

systems (Table 6). The total cumulative area

used for solar thermal generation will be 400

million square meters. By 2020, the installed

capacity of solar power generation will reach

50 GW, and the total cumulative area for solar

thermal will be 800 million square meters, ac-

cording to the National Development and Re-

form Commission.

The government should begin solar ther-

mal power industrial demonstrations. The

government should also promote the diversi-

fied utilization of solar energy and encourage

construction of PV power plants in regions

with rich solar resources and excess land that

has no other use.

Solar energy plants (perhaps combined

with wind power plants) should be combined

with hydropower development to simplify

grid access, such as in Qinghai, Gansu, Xin-

jiang, and other regions.

Distributed PV. The government should

support the construction of distributed PV

power plants to solve electricity shortages in

remote areas. In addition, the central govern-

ment should speed up the use of solar wa-

ter heaters and expand their use in civil and

public buildings in urban and rural areas, and

promote the building of solar houses and use

of solar cookers in rural areas.

Distributed PV power systems in areas

with abundant solar resources could be con-

structed as a microgrid system with other

new energy supplies, such as biomass en-

ergy, and energy storage technologies. The

government should promote household PV

systems or small PV power stations in remote

areas without electricity or in power-shortage

areas. It also should encourage the use of

distributed PV power for communications,

transportation, and lighting.

Solar Thermal. The government should

construct demonstration projects of solar

thermal power generation and improve sys-

tem integration of high-temperature solar

collector tubes, condensers, and other key

technologies and equipment manufacturing

capacity. The government should choose

suitable locations in regions such as In-

ner Mongolia Erdos Heights, the flat desert

along the Yellow River, the Hexi Corridor in

Gansu Province, the Turpan Basin and Tarim

Basin region, Lhasa Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia,

and similar locations.

Biomass Energy MultipliesAccording to the National Development

and Reform Commission, by 2015, annual

biomass energy utilization in China will be

equivalent to 50 million tons of standard coal.

The installed capacity of biomass power will

reach 13 GW, annual biogas utilization will

be 22 billion cubic meters, 10 million tons of

biomass briquettes will be used, 350 million

to 400 million tons of biomass alcohol will

be used, and 1 million tons of biodiesel and

aviation biofuel will be used.

Various types of biomass resources should

be coordinated to maximize efficiency of use.

Based on local economic conditions, the best

biomass technology and market-oriented ap-

proaches to development should be selected.

Biomass technology used also should promote

rural economic development, improve farm-

ers’ income, and improve the environment.

In regions producing grain and cotton, the

government should optimize the distribu-

tion of the construction of biomass power

generation projects using crops, straw, food

processing residues, cane bagasse, and so

on as fuel. In major forested areas, logging

slash, bucking residues, processing residues,

tending thinning resources, and fast-growing

forest resources should be combined with

forestry ecological construction. The govern-

ment also should encourage biomass-fueled

poly-generation projects that can produce

gas, liquid fuels, chemical products, power

generation, and space heating.

Biomass Gas. The government should

take full advantage of rural straw, solid waste,

forestry residues, and livestock waste by ac-

tively promoting the construction of small-,

medium-, and large-scale biogas and bio-

mass gasification gas projects. It also should

encourage biomass gas (biogas) purification

and compression to commercialize the use of

biomass gas. By 2015, the number of users

supplied by biomass concentrated gas is tar-

geted to reach 300 million.

Biomass Briquettes. Central heating us-

ing biomass briquettes should be promoted in

urban areas and biomass briquettes should be

widely used in rural areas as a clean cooking

and heating fuel. A system involving biomass

briquettes production supply, transportation,

storage, and use should be established in both

urban and rural areas.

Biomass Liquid Fuel. The central gov-

ernment should develop marginal land, such

as saline land, grassland, and mountain

slopes, to construct non-grain biomass re-

source supply bases followed by develop-

ment of bio-liquid fuel.

Rural Renewable Energy DevelopsBy 2015, the number of national biogas users

will be up to 50 million, and more than 50%

of suitable farmers will get access to biogas.

Meanwhile, the coverage area for solar water

heater use in rural areas will be more than

80 million square meters, and the number of

solar cookers will be up to 2 million units.

Most importantly, everyone will have access

to electricity.

The government should be focused on

meeting the unique energy needs of rural

areas for cooking, heating, production, and

essential electricity uses. Rural renewable

energy development is an important part of

new rural construction.

Electricity for Rural Areas. The gov-

ernment should promote the construction of

power generation centers in regions without

electricity: Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Sichuan,

Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and other provinc-

es (or autonomous regions). In remote areas

where the grid is difficult to extend in a short

amount of time, it is urgent to take advantage

of local renewable energy resources, accord-

ing to local conditions, such as by construct-

ing small hydropower, small wind power

generation, solar PV systems, and so on. In

this way, all administrative villages will have

access to electricity and the problem of elec-

tricity shortage will be solved.

and other renewable energy resources should

be used, according to local conditions, to

construct household biogas, small and medi-

um-sized biogas plants, and larger biomass

gasification projects. The central govern-

ment should promote biomass briquettes to

provide clean biomass fuels for farmers and

advance clean energy consumption in rural

households for cooking and heating.

Geothermal Energy Gains The National Development and Reform

Commission predicts that by 2015, the total

amount of various types of geothermal ener-

gy development will reach 100 MW and uti-

lization will amount to the equivalent of 15

million tons standard coal. Buildings heated

and cooled using shallow geothermal energy

(heat pump technology) will amount to 500

million square meters.

The government should accelerate the

geothermal resources survey, strengthen the

planning and management of geothermal de-

velopment, and increase the amount of geo-

thermal energy development and utilization.

The direct use of geothermal energy should

be encouraged, particularly the development

of shallow geothermal energy used in build-

ing heating and cooling.

Geothermal Power Generation. The

government should construct several mega-

watt-class geothermal power stations along

the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in southwestern

Yunnan and other high-temperature resource

regions to provide power to meet the needs

of western development. Small and medium-

sized distributed geothermal power genera-

tion projects should be developed along the

eastern coast and the northern piedmonts of

Tianshan and other medium- and low-tem-

perature resource regions.

Shallow Geothermal Energy Use.

The central government should encour-

age the accelerated development of shallow

geothermal energy heating in the northeast,

northwest, and other extremely cold regions.

Shallow geothermal energy heating and

cooling should be encouraged in hot summer

and cold winter regions, such as the Huang-

Huai-Hai River Basin, Fen River Basin, and

Weihe Basin; middle and lower reaches of

the Yangtze River, Chengdu, and Chongqing;

and regions such as Guangdong, Guangxi,

southeastern Fujian and Hainan, as well as

the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Marine Energy Industry LaunchesThe government should actively carry out the

construction of marine energy demonstration

projects, promote the technical progress of

marine energy use, and invest in improve-

ments to the marine energy equipment indus-

try. These improvements are required for the

marine energy industry to grow.

The government should construct inde-

pendent demonstration power stations near

islands with electricity demand, where there

are rich marine energy resources, and locate

them near where offshore wind projects are

planned to reduce electricity transmission

problems. The government also should invest

in energy storage technologies to solve the

electricity supply problems of some islands

with power shortages.

Tidal energy technology and equipment

is available. Therefore, one or two 10-MW-

class tidal power stations should be installed

in qualified areas, as well as several tidal cur-

rent energy grid-connected demonstration

power stations. By 2015, various types of

marine energy power plants with a total ca-

pacity of 50 MW could be completed, laying

the foundation for future development.

scale testing. The following are suggestions

about which technologies should be given

field trials.

Renewable Demonstration Counties.

By 2015, 200 green energy demonstration

counties and 1,000 solar model villages

should be completed. In regions with rich

renewable energy resources, the central gov-

ernment should establish renewable energy

demonstration counties, where full-scale

renewable technologies of all types work

together. In addition, the government should

support the development of small and me-

dium-sized renewable energy facilities for

small towns to meet their specific electricity,

gas, heating, and other energy needs.

New Energy Model City. By 2015, 100

new energy demonstration cities and 1,000

new energy demonstration parks should be

completed. The government should support

the promotion of the comprehensive applica-

tion of solar energy, biomass, geothermal,

and other new energy technologies in cities

and industrial parks. The government should

also accelerate the applications of renewable

energy in buildings, form new energy utiliza-

tion areas, and replace coal-fired and other

old technology energy systems.

The program should be focused on pub-

lic institutions, schools, hospitals, hotels,

concentrated residential areas, solar water

heating systems, distributed PV power gen-

eration, ground source heat pump technol-

ogy, and biomass briquette use. In addition,

the government should support carrying out

a wide range of new energy technology dem-

onstrations as part of this new construction

and renovation of various industrial parks, to

meet electricity, heating, cooling, and other

energy needs.

New Energy Microgrid Demonstration

Projects. By 2015, 30 new energy microgrid

demonstration projects should be completed,

supported by smart grid and energy storage

technologies in which the new energy tech-

nologies discussed in previous sections of

this article play an important role.

Policy OutlookThe following policies and measures should

be taken during the 12th Five-Year Plan pe-

riod in order to fully meet these technology

development and construction tasks and to

meet the target of a fully developed renew-

able energy industry:

■ Develop an appraisal system for renew-

able energy development. In accordance

with the requirements established by the

Renewable Energy Law, a comprehensive

project appraisal system must be devel-

oped that will help guide the development

of future renewable energy projects. The

criteria should consider the region’s re-

newable energy needs, as each region is

very different in the types of renewable

energy available, distribution infrastruc-

ture, and energy use patterns.

■ Establish a quota system for renewable

energy power. The demand for non-

hydro renewable energy will require each

province, region, and municipality to set

power development, electricity market,

grid structure, and power transmission

system goals. Governments at all levels

will assume administrative management

responsibility for the task, while power

grid enterprises will remain responsible

for their systems in their service areas.

■ Introduce renewable energy subsidies and

financial and tax policies. China needs to

further improve renewable energy subsi-

dies and its financial and tax policies to

support renewable energy development.

For example, the government should im-

plement a credit policy that will promote

clean energy development and improve

the loan support mechanism for small-

scale renewable energy projects.

Final ThoughtsGenerally speaking, there are more advan-

tages than disadvantages to the environment

and society with the development and utiliza-

tion of renewable energy. China places con-

siderable importance on its renewable energy

development program, which also benefits

the country’s sustainable development and

environment-friendly policies. Simultane-

ously, renewable energy is an important part

of an emerging strategic industry, and pro-

moting renewable energy development will

bring comprehensive economic and social

benefits. ■

Is Shale Gas Shallow or the Real Deal?The de facto U.S. energy policy is to burn more gas, much of it produced us-

ing “fracking” technology. Huge volumes of low-priced natural gas have caused coal plant shutdowns, slowed renewable development, and un-dercut new nuclear plant development. Using more gas has also sent the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions into a downward spiral. Is the glut of natural gas too good to be true?

By Kennedy Maize

Now that an abundance of natural gas

has become a seeming fact of everyday

life, it’s time for the contrarian view to

appear. Is the optimism over shale gas cock-

eyed and bound for a crash? Or is the methane

ebullience an accurate reflection of new en-

ergy realities? There are no simple answers.

Recently, an arcane dispute among geolo-

gists became public, revealing an important

rift over views about the future of natural gas.

The geological flap raises questions about just

how durable the shale gas boom will be and

whether a long regime of low-cost gas can

continue to fuel a dash to gas among electric

generators that is clobbering coal, wrecking

renewables, and negating the long-awaited

nuclear renaissance. Unlike the earlier dis-

putes over environmental issues related to hy-

draulic fracturing or “fracking,” which largely

proved marginal and manageable, the current

kerfuffle is over the performance of the wells

themselves in delivering natural gas. Experi-

enced geologists are wrangling over the rate

at which wells in shale formations, created by

horizontal drilling and fracking the gas-rich

strata, run out of methane.

Some experts argue that shale gas wells

decline rapidly, producing copious amounts of

natural gas early and then quickly drying out,

suggesting that the current glut of gas will de-

cline just as steeply as it rose (Figure 1). Oth-

ers respond that shale gas wells’ decline rates

are nothing special and that fears of the gas

running out are overblown. There is so much

gas available, they argue, and the horizontal

wells deliver for so long, that low-cost fossil

fuel is guaranteed far into the future.

Gas SkepticOne major voice on the skeptical side of the

emerging debate is that of Arthur Berman, a

Houston-based petroleum geologist who is

also a leading figure in the “Peak Oil” posse,

a group of analysts who argue the U.S. has

reached the bottom of its crude oil bucket and

the rest of the world will soon follow. Ber-

man writes frequently for “The Oil Drum,” a

leading peak oil publication. Looking at U.S.

shale gas, Berman says he sees a precipitous

production decline coming as the need to

drill new gas wells to replace rapidly declin-

ing production vastly outpaces the capacity

of industry to deploy the rigs needed to drill.

In an interview with POWER, Berman ar-

gued that the boom in drilling shale gas wells

has obscured a long-term decline in conven-

tional gas supply. But a coming rapid decline in

shale production, he said, will soon reveal the

overall limits to the gas boom, and volatility and

upward pressure could return to natural gas pric-

es. “It’s not a problem for today or tomorrow,”

Berman said, “but it is coming. Once we work

through the current oversupply, if capital is not

forthcoming,” prices will spike. The gas supply

bubble will burst.

Because of the current gas glut, with long

prices in the range of $3 per million cubic feet

(mcf), drilling shale gas wells has tanked, noted

Berman. Chesapeake Energy, the most bullish of

the shale gas players, is selling assets and shift-

ing rigs to drilling for oil because the company

just can’t make money on $3 gas. “I can see a

time not too many months away when we could

see gas supply in rather serious decline,” Ber-

man said, noting that “there is plenty of gas, but

it takes a long time to shift momentum back” to

gas drilling. At a 2010 meeting in Washington,

as low gas prices were resulting in a decline in

new drilling, Berman commented, “Shale plays

are marginally commercial at best.”

Greatly complicating the supply equation,

said Berman, is the nature of shale gas wells.

“Shale wells decline 30 to 40% per year,” he

said. “Conventional wells decline 20 to 25%.

What most don’t grasp is how many wells it

takes just to keep supply flat.”

In the Barnett Shale in Texas, where Berman

is most familiar with the geology, he calculates

that the annual decline in the gas resource is 1.7

bcf/day. In order to add to the net Barnett pro-

duction, Berman says, companies would have

to drill 3,880 wells, at a cost of $12 billion.

“We are setting ourselves up for a poten-

tial reduction in supply and price will go up,”

said Berman. “I don’t know how much it will

go up, and there is a check-and-balance with

coal. There will be gas-coal switching if pric-

es do go much higher than now.”

Meet Dr. Marcellus

Nobody knows the Marcellus Shale—poten-

tially the second-largest natural gas field in

the world—better than Terry Engelder (Fig-

ure 2). The energetic Penn State geology

professor has been studying the massive

black shale formation that stretches across

Appalachia for 35 years.

As a young structural geologist (Texas

A&M PhD ’73) working at Columbia Uni-

versity’s Lamont-Doherty Geological Ob-

servatory in New York in the mid-1970s,

Engelder came to the attention of the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The

nuclear agency was looking at earthquake

risks at U.S. atomic power plants. With an

NRC grant in hand, Engelder began studying

earth stresses and fracture development in

rock strata in the Mid-Atlantic region.

In 1978, Engelder recalled in an inter-

view with POWER, he organized a field ex-

pedition to the Indian Point reactor site,

some 40 miles north of New York City on

the Hudson River. “Among the rock units we

studied were the black shales of the Appa-

lachian basin,” he said, “because they were

so beautifully fractured.” In the mid-1980s,

having returned to his undergraduate alma

mater, Penn State (BS ’68), Engelder began

detailed examinations of Devonian shales,

publishing a number of important papers

on stresses and fractures in shale forma-

tions, including natural hydraulic fractures.

In the 1990s, Engelder said, he realized

that the natural fractures he was seeing in

the dense Devonian black shales (Figure

3) were driven by very high pressures from

methane during the formation of the sedi-

mentary rocks. “That’s what makes the Mar-

cellus what it is,” he said. Engelder added

that he soon was following what petroleum

pioneer George Mitchell was doing in the

Barnett Shale in Texas. Engelder also fol-

lowed the work of Range Resources, a Texas

oil and gas company with Pennsylvania

connections, which drilled its first Marcel-

lus well in 2004. By 2007, Range Resources

combined two known technologies, hydrau-

lic fracturing and horizontal drilling, in the

Marcellus and got results that tracked what

Devon Energy, which had acquired George

Mitchell’s company, was getting in the Bar-

nett formation in Texas.

“In the fall of 2007,” Engelder recalled,

“I asked myself, Just how much gas is there,

anyway?” He worked with Gary Lash, then a

geoscientist at the State University of New

York Fredonia and now at Lehigh Univer-

sity, to make the first estimate of the gas

resources in the Marcellus Shale. “It was

almost an out-of-body experience to realize

that there may be something here that was

a real game changer in terms of America’s

energy portfolio,” Engelder told the Pitts-

burgh Post-Gazette in an article last year.

In January 2008, Penn State put out

a press release disclosing the estimates

of Engelder and Lash. The numbers were

mind-boggling: conservatively at 168

trillion cubic feet (tcf) and optimistically

as high as 516 tcf. The U.S. could recover

50 tcf a year from just the Marcellus for-

mation, compared to total U.S. gas pro-

duction of 30 tcf.

The shale gas boom was on. A sign of

how the shale revolution gripped the U.S.

was the April 11, 2011, cover of Time mag-

azine, featuring a photo of a shard of Mar-

cellus shale and a headline reading “This

Rock Could Power the World.” One of Terry

Engelder’s prized possessions is a copy of

that issue, with the cover autographed by

some of the giants in the shale gas boom

(Figure 4). In its December 2011 issue, For-

eign Policy magazine named Engelder, Lash,

and Mitchell among its “top 100 global

thinkers.” The citation read, “For upending

the geopolitics of energy.”

Bullish on GasBut Penn State geologist Terry Engelder, the

major domo of Marcellus Shale (see sidebar),

doesn’t share Berman’s pessimism about gas

supply and prices, or Berman’s assessment of

the production decline of shale gas wells. “All

wells decline,” Engelder said in an interview.

“What distinguishes shale wells from conven-

tional reservoirs is the percentage of gas deliv-

ered over a long period of time.” Shale wells,

Engelder said, start producing at very high

volumes, decrease considerably during the

first year, but continue producing much longer

than conventional gas wells, because the tight

rock formations slow the release of the gas.

With shale gas, Engelder said, “You have

a steeper decline curve initially, but a much

longer period of production.” That’s a func-

tion of the tight shale reservoirs, “with inher-

ent low permeability,” he said. “The gas takes

longer to get” to the well head “but remains

economic over a longer period of time.”

Here is where it can get pretty wonky. En-

gelder notes that the dispute with Berman and

others in his camp who say shale wells decline

too rapidly is a matter of hyperbolic production

curves versus exponential curves. Engelder is

in the hyperbolic school and Berman is one of

the exponential advocates. If a well’s decline

is hyperbolic, Engelder explained, you get a

decreasing rate of decline year after year. The

best data for eastern shale wells available, he

said, shows a general hyperbolic decline over

a 40-year period, versus a 25-year lifespan for

conventional gas wells.

The advocates of exponential decline—

including Berman and retired Canadian ge-

ologist J. David Hughes—argue that shale

wells decline quickly after their initial high

production, then level out quickly. Hughes

puts the issue in the classic terms of resource

depletion that environmentalists frequently

use: “[O]il and gas are finite resources that

are being consumed at unprecedented and

growing rates,” and “the U.S. is the worst of-

fender and is highly vulnerable to future en-

ergy price and supply shocks.”

The shape of the decline curve for hori-

zontal gas wells can be very important for the

economics of the well, notes an article (“De-

bate Over Shale Gas Decline Flares Up”) in

the Oct. 10, 2010, Financial Times: “[I]f the

pessimists/exponentials are right, then the ul-

timately recovered gas reserves from, say, the

Haynesville deposits in Louisiana and Texas

could be closer to 2 billion cubic feet (bcf) for

the average well, rather than the 6 bcf some

operators project.” This implies a market price

two or three times the current level in order for

producers to see a profit.

Balancing OpinionsCould Berman and Engelder both be right?

“Art Berman and I agree on a lot,” Engelder

told POWER. “Where we get into a difference

of opinion is whether horizontal wells convert

from hyperbolic to exponential. When that

happens, you would get the same decline rate

year after year, and the well would drain more

rapidly.” The physical reason for hyperbolic

decline, said Engelder, is that the wells do not

interfere with each other, so the impermeabil-

ity of the shale formations governs the decline

rate. When the drainage area of the well reach-

es out to adjacent wells, and the well is not just

draining virgin territory, he said, the decline

rate might switch to exponential.

That’s not in the future for most of the giant

black shale Marcellus formation, Engelder

says. Drillers in the Mid-Atlantic region are

well positioned to ramp up production rap-

idly and cheaply should natural gas prices go

up even slightly. In Pennsylvania alone, says

Engelder, more than a thousand wells have

been drilled but not put into production. Of

the wells in production, many are on drilling

pads designed for six to eight wells each, but

only two or three are producing. With this in-

frastructure in place, “it only takes a day or

two to start drilling again.”

So Engelder sees little chance of the kind of

price spikes that characterized the bursting of

the conventional gas bubble of the 1980s and

1990s. “The reality is that the supply of gas

in North America is so large it will take years

for the price to recover,” he said. Producers

and consumers both want stability, although

consumers prefer lower prices and the indus-

try higher. Engelder says the industry can live

with $4 gas, while many are losing money or

shutting in production at $3/mcf.

Today, Engelder and the optimists appear

to be winning the argument over the future

role of shale gas. Berman, Hughes, and the

pessimists are a distinct minority among ge-

ologists. Skip Horvath, who for many years

has run the Natural Gas Supply Association,

representing the largest gas producers in

Washington, says, “Art Berman clearly has

the best intentions. He’s just out of step with

the rest of the geological community.” (Read

“Meet the Man the Shale Gas Industry Hates”

at http://tinyurl.com/Art-Berman.)

Engelder is even more charitable. “Ber-

man is not beloved by industry,” he says,

“but he has things well worth thinking about

in evaluating shale gas.”

Ultimately, the questions about shale gas

supply and demand offer a good illustration

of the basics of mineral resources economics,

notes British science writer Matt Ridley in a

paper titled “The Shale Gas Shock” (www

.marcellus.psu.edu/resources/PDFs/shalegas_

GWPF.pdf). Taking square aim at Berman and

his concern about investors losing money on

shale gas plays, Ridley comments: “It is quite

possible that investment in shale gas firms

will indeed prove risky as their very success

drives gas prices down. But that will only hap-

pen if volumes of gas produced are high; and

it does not mean that exploration and drilling

will cease, for if they did, prices would rise

again and exploitation would resume. After

all, this has been the experience of the coal in-

dustry, the oil industry, and many other indus-

tries throughout history: success drives down

prices, leading to business failures, but over

the long term this does not prevent continuing

expansion of production because low prices

stimulate expanding consumption.”

New World OrderDevonian shale, and its now-accessible sup-

plies of natural gas and crude oil, has been a

revolutionary force in the U.S., and one that

may be duplicated in Europe. While other

factors—a slowly growing U.S. economy

and a plethora of new Environmental Protec-

tion Agency rules regulating coal generation

are two—are contributors, cheap methane

is driving fundamental changes in the way

America uses energy. The U.S. carbon foot-

print is making a smaller impact on the glob-

al environment, while bigger feet in China,

India, and even Europe have emerged. Gas

is pushing out coal, nuclear, and solar and

wind power, purely on the basis of the cost of

generating electricity. U.S. oil imports have

declined substantially. The U.S. may soon be

exporting significant amounts of natural gas

to consumers in Europe and Japan.

Wall Street Journal columnist John Bussey

wrote in the Sept. 20 edition, “During Ameri-

ca’s Age of Imperialism, Henry Cabot Lodge

famously said that ‘commerce follows the

flag.’ Send over U.S. gunships, and U.S. busi-

ness will be right behind. These days it may

be the reverse. America’s shale oil and gas

revolution—one of the biggest commercial

bonanzas in generations—is itself shaking

up the world order. As oil and gas flood into

U.S. pipelines, relationships that defined how

energy moved around the globe are shifting.

How far that will go is open to debate.” ■

NUCLEAR FUEL

MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility: Turning Swords into PlowsharesThe U.S. Department of Energy contracted Shaw AREVA MOX Services LLC

to design, construct, and operate a Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) at its Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The MFFF will convert depleted uranium and excess weapons-grade plutonium stock-piles, equivalent to approximately 17,000 nuclear weapons, into MOX fuel assemblies that will be used in U.S. nuclear power plants by 2018.

By James M. Hylko

The bilateral Strategic Arms Reduction

Treaty (START) signed in July 1991

was an agreement to dismantle 80% of

U.S. and then-USSR strategic nuclear weap-

ons in existence. START may have signaled

the end of the Cold War, but it also ushered in

a new problem: potential uncontrolled access

to large stockpiles of surplus weapons-grade

(WG), highly enriched uranium (HEU) and

plutonium. The challenge was how to safely

dispose of these surplus nuclear materials to

prevent their future use in nuclear weapons.

In 1992, General Brent Scowcroft, then

the national security advisor to President

George H.W. Bush, requested that the Na-

tional Academy of Sciences (NAS) rec-

ommend disposition options to reduce the

potential loss by theft of these materials,

particularly the plutonium. (See the sidebar

for important differences between each of

the nuclear materials. The early work asso-

ciated with the “megatons-to-megawatts”

program focusing on uranium is described

in “DOE Project Converts Weapons-Grade

Uranium to Fuel for Browns Ferry” in the

December 2006 issue of POWER, available

in our archives at www.powermag.com.)

The outcome of the NAS study was that

excess WG plutonium should be as difficult

to acquire for a nuclear weapon as the reac-

tor grade (RG) plutonium in spent fuel from

civilian nuclear reactors. The “MOX option,”

selected by the NAS as the best disposition al-

ternative, blends WG plutonium from disman-

tled nuclear weapons with depleted uranium

(a byproduct of uranium enrichment) to create

mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel for irradiation in a

commercial nuclear reactor. The plutonium

becomes part of the spent fuel, thus no longer

making it usable for a nuclear weapon.

Nuclear AgreementThe current inventories of surplus WG

plutonium to be processed are based on

the Plutonium Management and Disposi-

tion Agreement (PMDA) originally signed

in 2000 by the U.S. and Russia, and reaf-

firmed in 2007 and 2010. The PMDA com-

mits each country to dispose of no less than

34 metric tons (~75,000 pounds) of excess

WG plutonium and irradiate it as MOX

fuel in commercial nuclear reactors. The

combined amount, 68 metric tons, repre-

sents enough material for approximately

17,000 nuclear weapons. To implement this

agreement in the U.S., the Department of

Energy’s (DOE) National Nuclear Security

Administration (NNSA), under the Office

of Fissile Materials Disposition, contract-

ed the construction of a Mixed Oxide Fuel

Fabrication Facility (MFFF).

POWER recently discussed the proj-

ect and timetable with Kelly Trice, presi-

dent and chief operating officer of Shaw

AREVA MOX Services LLC, which is

responsible for the design, licensing, and

construction of the MFFF. He described

the 17-acre MFFF as a “plutonium process-

ing and fuel fabrication plant” designed to

convert surplus WG plutonium inventories

and depleted uranium into MOX fuel as-

semblies. It is the first facility of its kind

in the U.S.

Trice pointed out that the completed

MOX fuel assemblies will look like stan-

dard pressurized water reactor (PWR) and

boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel assem-

blies. He indicated that of the 34 metric

tons of plutonium coming from the U.S., 10

metric tons of plutonium oxide are already

available for processing and the remaining

24 metric tons from the weapons programs

will arrive later in the program.

Following irradiation in a reactor, the re-

sulting spent fuel contains WG plutonium

in a nonproliferent form. No reprocessing

or subsequent reuse of the MOX spent fuel

is planned. Once the fuel cycle use is com-

pleted, the MOX spent fuel will be perma-

nently stored in a geologic repository. The

MFFF will be shuttered when the plutoni-

um disposition goals are met.

DOE and NRC Licenses RequiredThe contract to build the MFFF at the

DOE’s Savannah River Site (SRS) near

Aiken, S.C., was awarded in March 1999

to Shaw AREVA MOX Services LLC. The

DOE looked at many sites, but the SRS’s

existing security infrastructure and experi-

ence with handling plutonium gave it an

edge in the selection process.

Licensing of the MFFF is following a

two-step process. The first step required

submitting a Construction Authorization

Request to build at the SRS in February

2001. The Nuclear Regulatory Commis-

sion (NRC) issued the construction au-

thorization on Mar. 30, 2005. The second

stage requires NRC staff review of the li-

cense application submitted on Sept. 27,

2006. The license would authorize the pos-

session and use of byproduct and special

nuclear material. The NRC review verifies

that the structures, systems, and compo-

nents are constructed, installed, and can be

operated properly.

MFFF construction officially started on

Aug. 1, 2007 (Figure 1). Overall, the con-

crete structure at the main plant is about

88% complete and 12 of 18 buildings are

finished. The Waste Solidification Build-

ing, expected to be completed in 2013, is

forecasted to treat 150,000 gallons of waste

and solidify approximately 600,000 gal-

lons of low-level radioactive waste streams

from the MFFF for ultimate disposal.

In addition to the 2,400 personnel on

site, an additional 800 people are employed

in 42 states by suppliers to the construc-

tion project. Trice noted that both large

and small businesses are benefiting from


NUCLEAR FUEL

the construction activities. “We actually do

about 58% of our subcontracts with small

businesses. To date, we have subcontract-

ed about $900 million in small business

awards.”

Trice proudly acknowledged the team’s

achievement of a new safety milestone over

the summer. “We have also just crossed

11.5 million safe work hours without a lost

work day accident, which is a significant

accomplishment for a project of this size,

complexity, and importance.”

Cold-startup testing is scheduled to

begin in 2016, followed by fabrication of

the first fuel assemblies slated to begin in

2018. The MFFF will be licensed for 20

years and is expected to operate into the

2030s.

Building Fuel AssembliesThe MFFF is composed of two main pro-

cess operations: the aqueous polishing

process to remove impurities, such as am-

ericium and gallium, and the MOX process,

which converts the plutonium and depleted

uranium into fuel pellets, fuel rods, and

fuel assemblies (Figure 2).

The process will begin with incoming

plutonium and depleted uranium received

in their respective shipping containers and

inventoried according to the MFFF mate-

rial control and accounting and radiation

protection programs. The material would

then be moved to the aqueous polishing

(AP) area.

Aqueous Polishing Process. Before

combining the surplus WG plutonium with

depleted uranium to produce ceramic pel-

lets for MOX fuel rods, the plutonium ox-

ide will be purified using an AP process,

equivalent to the process the French nucle-

ar industry has successfully used for over

30 years. The AP process removes impu-

rities such as gallium, americium, alumi-

num, and fluorides and consists of three

major steps: dissolution, purification, and

conversion.

Plutonium oxide is dissolved in nitric

acid in the first step. Next, a solvent ex-

traction process removes impurities and

purifies the material. Then plutonium is

separated from the uranium. The solid and

liquid materials removed are recycled to

reduce waste volume. The final step con-

verts the purified plutonium stream back

to an oxide powder by precipitation and

calcination. The oxide powder is then ho-

mogenized, sampled, and stored in cans for

future production of MOX fuel pellets.

MOX Process. The MOX process is a

mechanical process and consists of four

major steps: powder master blend, pellet

production, fuel rod production, and fuel

assembly production.

In producing the powder master blend,

polished plutonium oxide is mixed with de-

pleted uranium oxide and recycled powder/

pellet material. This mixture is micronized

in a ball mill and mixed with additional de-

pleted uranium oxide and recycled material

to produce a final blend with the required

plutonium content. A lubricant and pore-

former are added to control density.

Next, the final powder blend is pressed

to form “green” pellets, which are then sin-

tered in a furnace to obtain the required ce-

ramic qualities. The sintering step removes

organic products dispersed in the pellets

and the previously introduced pore-former.

The sintered pellets are ground to a speci-

fied diameter and then inspected to verify

dimensions, density, markings, and appear-

The Differences Between Radioactive Materials

Several pairs of radioactive substances are

discussed in this article. Here is a primer

on their different properties.

Highly Enriched Uranium and Plutoni-

um. There are important differences between

highly enriched uranium (HEU) and pluto-

nium. HEU can be diluted with other, more

abundant, naturally occurring uranium iso-

topes to make low-enriched uranium (LEU),

which cannot sustain the fast-neutron chain

reaction needed for a nuclear explosion. LEU

fuel is used in most of the world’s nuclear

reactors. In contrast, plutonium cannot

be diluted with other plutonium isotopes

to make it unusable for weapons. ‘‘Re-en-

riching” LEU for weapons requires complex

enrichment technology, while separating

plutonium from other elements and mix-

ing it with fresh reactor fuel requires only

straightforward chemical processing.

Weapons-Grade and Reactor-Grade

Plutonium. There is substantial worldwide

experience with the use and behavior of

reactor-grade (RG) plutonium, as it is cre-

ated during the fission process. U.S. re-

actors were not specifically designed to

use weapons-grade (WG) plutonium (see

the table). The primary difference is the

percentage of the plutonium isotopes: WG

plutonium contains more plutonium-239,

while RG plutonium has more plutoni-

um-240. Weapons-grade plutonium is more

fissionable, but RG is more radioactive.

MOX and Low-Enriched Uranium. MOX

fuel and LEU fuel behave much the same in

reactors. MOX fuel assemblies and LEU fuel

assemblies are essentially identical with

respect to mechanical design. Both MOX

fuel pellets and LEU fuel pellets consist of

sintered ceramic pellets that are predomi-

nantly U-238 dioxide, and the respective

material properties are very similar.

However, the microstructures of the

two types of fuel pellets differ. LEU fuel

is a homogeneous mixture of U-238 diox-

ide and U-235 dioxide, whereas MOX fuel

is more heterogeneous, with very small

plutonium-rich particles in a matrix of

depleted uranium oxide. The nuclear char-

acteristics of MOX and LEU fuel are also

different due to the nuclear cross-section

differences between uranium and pluto-

nium. Also, the decay heat from MOX is

slightly lower than that of LEU fuel, which

provides a safety benefit.

Fundamentally, MOX fuel is very similar

to LEU fuel. MOX fuel has been demonstrat-

ed to perform well in commercial nuclear

power reactors. Fuel assembly, core, and

plant design practices can effectively ac-

commodate the minor differences that do

exist between the MOX and LEU fuel types.

ance. The MFFF will produce upwards of

70,000 pellets each day.

The fuel rods are then assembled in glove-

boxes by arranging the pellets in a long tray

and inserting the pellets into a zirconium alloy

tube (the fuel rod), loaded to an adjusted pel-

let column length, pressurized with helium,

welded, and then decontaminated. Each fuel

rod contains approximately 360 pellets. The de-

contaminated rods are then removed from the

gloveboxes and placed on racks for inspection.

In the final step, fuel assemblies are

manufactured by inserting the individual

rods into a metallic structure referred to as

the fuel assembly skeleton. A typical MOX

PWR fuel assembly contains 264 fuel rods

in a 17 x 17 array, is 13 feet in length, and

weighs about 1,500 pounds. Each MOX

fuel assembly is subjected to a final inspec-

tion prior to storage and shipment.

The MOX fuel fabrication facility will

have the flexibility to produce fuel for

PWRs and BWRs as well as for the new-

generation reactors.

Fresh MOX fuel assemblies will be

stored in the assembly storage vault. The

assemblies will be transferred to the ship-

ping and receiving area and loaded into an

NRC-approved MOX transportation pack-

age and then loaded onto a secure trans-

port vehicle for shipment to a commercial

nuclear reactor.

Using Recycled FuelThere are two types of fuel for nuclear

plants: uranium oxide (the most common)

and MOX, a mixture of uranium and pluto-

nium. Plutonium has more available energy

than uranium—analogous to adding a gal-

lon or two of premium gasoline to a car’s

tank of regular fuel (see sidebar).

In the U.S., there was substantial devel-

opment work on MOX fuel technology in

the 1960s and 1970s. That work culminat-

ed in a series of MOX fuel demonstration

programs at five reactors: the San Onofre

and Ginna PWRs and the Dresden, Quad

Cities, and Big Rock Point BWRs. In each

program, lead test assemblies were used to

study the performance of MOX fuel rods.

After several operating cycles, the MOX

fuel had performed acceptably and similar

to the co-resident uranium fuel.

The U.S. nuclear industry was poised

to begin large-scale reprocessing of spent

nuclear fuel and associated re-use of the

separated RG plutonium. However, fearing

worldwide nonproliferation consequences

of separating large quantities of plutonium,

the U.S. government decided against repro-

cessing spent nuclear fuel and stopped the

development and deployment of U.S. MOX

fuel technology. A more detailed history of

U.S. attempts at reprocessing and recycling

used fuel can be found in the August 2008

article, “How to Solve the Used Nuclear

Fuel Storage Problem,” available at www

.powermag.com.

Other countries continued their large-

scale development and reprocessing of

spent fuel. In the early 1980s, nuclear re-

actors in Germany began using substan-

tial quantities of reprocessed plutonium

in the form of MOX fuel. Other European

reactors followed in France, Belgium,

and Switzerland. International safeguards

implemented in the MOX fabrication pro-

cess have ensured that no proliferation

has occurred from this process for nearly

40 years.

The MELOX facility in France has been

operating since the mid-1990s and pro-

duces nearly all the commercial MOX fuel

assemblies in the world. In fact, MELOX

increased production in April 2007 to keep

MOX Process

There are two types of fuel for nuclear plants: uranium oxide

(the most common) and MOX, a mixture of uranium and plutonium.


NUCLEAR FUEL

in step with market needs for MOX fuel.

The mixture of uranium oxides and pluto-

nium is obtained from recycling used fuel

at AREVA NC’s La Hague plant, which

currently handles nearly half of the world’s

light water reactor spent nuclear fuel repro-

cessing capacity.

In the U.S., from June 2005 through

May 2008, four MOX fuel test assemblies

containing WG plutonium were tested at

the Catawba nuclear plant located in Rock

Hill, S.C. Nondestructive and destructive

hot cell examinations of five fuel rods veri-

fied that the MOX fuel behaved as predict-

ed on the basis of experience with uranium

dioxide fuel and MOX fuel with recycled

RG plutonium.

Trice noted that the MFFF is a general

reproduction of France’s La Hague and

MELOX plants. In addition, the Catawba

experience has been translated into MFFF

design features. “The processing technol-

ogy is generally similar, but the scale of the

MOX plant is much different. We operate

about half of the production capacity of the

plants in France. Also, we are using weap-

ons grade plutonium as opposed to reactor

grade plutonium. We use pieces of machin-

ery that are similar to La Hague, but not

exactly the same because we are not repro-

cessing spent nuclear fuel. At La Hague,

they take reactor fuel, chop it up, dissolve

it, extract the plutonium, then reprocess it

into plutonium oxide, and then ship the ox-

ide to the MELOX plant.”

Trice emphasized that although the

two French facilities were designed and

constructed according to French building

codes, the MFFF design meets all U.S.

regulatory requirements. It will also be a

hardened facility, similar to a nuclear reac-

tor. Security will be equal to the security

measures currently in place at SRS.

Finding Customers for MOX FuelThe Master Services Agreement, a result

of the successful Catawba fuel-testing pro-

gram, is a “very promising contract that

would open up a third of the U.S. reactor

fleet as potential users of MOX fuel,” ac-

cording to Trice. “Several utilities have

expressed interest, and that will create

a substantial demand for the MOX fuel.”

In the future, reactor licensees approved

to use MOX fuel are still expected to run

test assemblies for at least two operating

cycles to gain operational experience and

confirm computer models to predict fuel

performance.

The NRC expects no significant interim

storage differences between used MOX fuel

and used uranium fuel. After the MOX fuel

has been in a reactor for two operating cycles,

it can be stored in fuel pools or dry-storage

casks located at each reactor site. In the U.S.,

the used fuel will remain in interim storage

until a permanent geological repository is

available. If a repository is licensed, the used

MOX fuel assemblies would be packaged

into special containers and shipped directly

to the repository by truck or rail using NRC-

approved shipping packages.

Trice concluded that operation of the

MFFF and disposing of surplus U.S. weap-

ons-grade plutonium will demonstrate that

the U.S. is living up to its nonproliferation

commitments in a transparent and irrevers-

ible manner. In addition to these critical

nonproliferation benefits, the U.S. MOX

strategy will support additional DOE mis-

sions by consolidating materials, thereby

reducing security and storage costs of sur-

plus plutonium, estimated to be hundreds

of millions of dollars annually, while gen-

erating clean energy. ■

MERCURY EMISSIONS

Mercury Regulations Up in the Air U.S. Environmental Protection Agency efforts to regulate mercury emissions

from coal- and oil-fired power plants have spanned nearly two decades. In February of this year the agency promulgated the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, but changes to the standards continue.

By Brandon Bell PE, KBR Power & Industrial

The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards

(MATS) formally impose limitations on

mercury, filterable particulate matter, and

hydrogen chloride emissions from electric gen-

erating units (EGUs) firing coal (including in-

tegrated gasification combined cycle, or IGCC,

facilities), solid oil, and liquid oil. In addition

to a variety of available control technologies to

meet MATS, new technologies that allow mea-

surement of more minute quantities of mercury

will be necessary to ensure compliance.

Regulatory HistoryThe basis for MATS dates back to two studies

funded by the Environmental Protection Agen-

cy (EPA) and required by the Clean Air Act

(CAA). In 1995, as directed by Congress, the

National Institute of Environmental Sciences

(NIEHS) issued a report detailing the threshold

of mercury exposure below which adverse hu-

man health effects are not expected to occur.

Several years later, the National Academy of

Sciences (NAS) was commissioned to perform

an independent evaluation of the health impacts

from methyl mercury. The results of this study

were finalized and released by 2000, thus satis-

fying the CAA Section 112 (n)(1) requirement

to evaluate the hazards to public health from

mercury emissions.

In total, the expected number of units that

will be affected by this regulation is large. There

are approximately 1,100 coal-fired units and

300 oil-fired units that would need to meet com-

pliance by three years from the finalization of

this rule. Each facility may request a one-year

compliance extension, which states may grant

on a case-by-case basis.

However, a recent judicial ruling regarding

another key regulation, that found the EPA over-

stepped its bounds, could lead to further scru-

tiny of the MATS regulation. The decision by

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Co-

lumbia Circuit on Aug. 21, 2012 (EME Homer

City Generation v. EPA, D.C.C. No. 11-1302)

dealt a significant blow to the Cross State Air

Pollution Rule (CSAPR), as it was vacated and

determined that the EPA had regulated beyond

its statutory authority. The court determined the

EPA overstepped its bounds in two key ways.

First, under the “good neighbor” policy, the

EPA has the authority to require upwind states

to reduce their emissions that affect a down-

wind state’s nonattainment. It was determined

that CSAPR required upwind states to reduce

their emissions by more than the amount that ul-

timately affected downwind states. Second, the

court found that states should have been allowed

to reduce their own emissions through a state

implementation plan (SIP). Instead, the EPA

did not give the states this option and enacted

a federal implementation plan (FIP) to reduce

emissions on a state level.

A great deal of effort was made by the EPA

to ensure CSAPR would be upheld under legal

review. MATS may succumb to a similar fate,

as multiple parties have filed for review of the

rule by the courts. It should be noted that EPA

regulations have a history of litigation, with

a mixed record of courts upholding them or

rejecting them. At press time, the EPA and in-

tervenors, including Calpine and Exelon, had

petitioned for a rehearing of the court’s Aug.

21 split decision against CSAPR. The court

has ordered 20-page responses to the petition

for rehearing be filed with the court by Oct.

29. The court has no timeline within which to

decide to reject the petition, rehear the case

with another three-judge panel, or hear the

case en banc with all eight judges.

Costs are expected to increase considerably

for implementing the MATS regulation. Accord-

ing to the EPA’s Regulatory Impact Analysis

(RIA), the incremental cost of compliance with

MATS in 2015 will be $9.6 billion per year. As

part of the RIA, the EPA estimated that capital

costs to meet both CSAPR and MATS would

have been $84 billion. Recent cost estimates

by some major utilities suggest that the cost to

comply may be lower than originally estimated.

Even with the vacating of CSAPR and positive

estimates from utilities, final compliance costs

are a moving target, leaving the number of po-

tential plant closures up in the air.

Mired in LitigationAs a result of the NIEHS and NAS analyses, the

EPA concluded in December 2000 that regulat-

ing hazardous air pollution emissions—specifi-

cally mercury—was appropriate and necessary.

That determination triggered a series of legal

actions that were individually resolved over the

following decade. This process led to the even-

tual promulgation of MATS.

After the initial determination that regulat-

ing mercury was appropriate and necessary,

the Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG)

and Edison Electric Institute (EEI) chal-

lenged this determination in court (UARG v.

EPA, 2001 WL 936363, No. 01-1071, D.C.

Cir. July 26, 2001). The case was dismissed

on jurisdictional grounds.

MERCURY EMISSIONS

priate and necessary and, consequently, the EPA

was required to set rules for EGUs as a result

of the agency adding them as a source category,

as described in Section 112 of the CAA. As re-

quired by the CAA, the deadline for the mercu-

ry rule’s revision was Dec. 20, 2002. However,

the EPA failed to meet that deadline. As a re-

sult, several environmental groups filed suit to

compel the EPA to issue emission standards for

EGUs (Izaak Walton League v. Leavitt, D.D.C.

No. 04-0694). The deadline for the standard to

be issued then became Mar. 15, 2005.

Instead of issuing a rule for Section 112 of the

CAA for EGUs, the EPA subsequently issued

an action on Mar. 29, 2005, that delisted EGUs

from Section 112 regulation. Shortly after the

delisting action, the EPA issued the Clean Air

Mercury Rule (CAMR), on May 18, 2005. That

rule was meant to regulate mercury emissions

from new and existing coal-fired EGUs under

Section 111 of the CAA. Again, environmental

groups and states took issue with the EPA’s de-

listing without following requirements outlined

in Section 112.

The result of that legal challenge (New Jersey

v. EPA, 517 F.3d, D.C. Cir. 2008) reversed both

actions taken by the EPA in 2005: The delist-

ing action in March and the subsequent CAMR

issuance in May. In striking down CAMR,

the court simply postponed but did not negate

implementation of mercury regulations. Fur-

thermore, reversal of the delisting action further

confirmed the EPA’s obligation to finalize emis-

sion standards under Section 112 of the CAA.

In order to ensure an emission standard

was issued in a timely manner, environmental

groups once again filed suit to seek enforceable

deadlines on the EPA (American Nurses Asso-

ciation v. EPA, DDC No. 08-2198). The result

of this suit set a deadline of Nov. 16, 2011, for

a finalized air toxics standard. Pursuant to this

settlement, the EPA signed the promulgated

MATS rule on Dec. 16, 2011, and published it

in the Federal Register on Feb. 16, 2012.

True to the history of this regulation, litigation

resumed as soon as MATS was signed. White

Stallion, the National Mining Association, the

National Black Chamber of Commerce, and the

Institute for Liberty all filed suit the same day

as MATS was finalized. These suits have not

been resolved and have been consolidated into

a single action.

Reconsideration of MATSIn June 2012, Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.)

introduced a motion in Congress that would

have overturned the MATS regulation. This

motion (Senate Joint Resolution 37), put forth

under the Congressional Review Act, could

have sent the regulation back to the EPA to be

rewritten under congressional review. However,

when brought before the Senate on June 19, the

resolution was narrowly defeated.

Although not required by Congress,

the EPA took action on July 20 to review

MATS. The EPA issued a letter acknowl-

edging that a number of petitions had been

received specifically addressing measure-

ment issues associated with mercury for

new sources. In addition to addressing

measurement problems with mercury, the

data set used to set new source standards

for particulate matter and hydrochloric

acid will be revisited to ensure variability

calculations were applied correctly.

The issues to be reviewed will be mostly

technical in nature and are not expected to affect

the rule’s legality. An expedited review process

has been initiated. However, final reconsidera-

tion of the rulemaking will not be complete until

March 2013. In the meantime, a stay of three

months was given by the EPA for the effective

date of the new source emission standards.

der Section 112 of the CAA, the agency must

MERCURY EMISSIONS

establish technology-based emission standards,

known as maximum achievable control tech-

nology (MACT). These standards are based on

technology currently available. Due to the vari-

ability in performance between older units and

new units, the MACT analysis may set different

standards for existing and new sources.

When determining what is considered to

be MACT, the EPA must calculate something

called the “MACT Floor.” For existing units, the

MACT Floor is determined by analyzing a set a

data containing the average emissions for a par-

ticular pollutant. Using this set of data, the EPA

then determines what level of emissions can be

met by the best performing 12% of the data set.

This emission target is the MACT Floor,

and that target becomes the minimum value

that all other existing units must conform to. In

the event that there are fewer than 30 sources

for which data is available, the EPA will isolate

the best five performing units and set that as the

MACT Floor.

When determining the MACT Floor for a

new source, the approach is different. In that

case, the MACT Floor would be set by the

“emission control achieved in practice by the

best controlled similar source.”

Unfortunately, determining what the MACT

Floor is doesn’t necessarily set what the fi-

nal MACT limits will be. Upon defining the

MACT Floor, the EPA must then consider a

more stringent “beyond-the-floor” option that

pushes control technology to perform at levels

below the MACT Floor emission level. As a

result of previous litigation (Cement Kiln Recy-

cling Coal v. EPA, 255 F.3d 855, 857-58, D.C.

Cir. 2001), this analysis must also take into ac-

count costs, energy, non–air quality health, and

environmental impacts.

In the case of the MATS regulation, the EPA

chose to set mercury emission limits for most

units at the MACT Floor limit. However, some

units will be required to reach below-the-floor

limits. In the case of existing units that utilize a

low-rank virgin coal for power generation, the

EPA determined that the MACT Floor emis-

sion limitation was 11 pounds per trillion Btu.

The agency also determined that, based on the

availability of activated carbon injection (ACI)

systems, the incremental cost of further reduc-

tion is “reasonable.”

From this conclusion, the EPA decided that

a limit 64% below the MACT Floor was appro-

priate, resulting in a limitation of 4 pounds per

trillion Btu for existing units using low-rank vir-

gin coal. This means that those units will now be

required to perform at the same level as a new

unit. And although new units have been granted

a stay of effective dates while the EPA reevalu-

ates technical issues associated with mercury,

existing units are required to maintain the origi-

nal compliance dates (Tables 1 and 2).

Measurement TechniquesThe promulgation of MATS created more than

just the issue of how to control these pollutants.

It also addressed the issue of how to measure

the pollutants being emitted. As mentioned

previously, the EPA has already acknowledged

potential problems with measuring low emis-

sion levels for pollutants such as mercury, and

therefore granted a stay for new units. Multiple

options exist for measuring mercury, and each

unit will have to be individually evaluated to

determine which option will obtain the desired

level of accuracy.

Typically, a continuous emission monitor-

ing system (CEMS) for mercury or a sorbent

trap system meeting the EPA’s Performance

Standard 12B is required. Maintenance of a

mercury CEMS system is very labor-intensive,

with high operating costs, particularly for cali-

bration gases for maintaining system accuracy.

Also, each new mercury measurement system

requires initial certifications, initial linearity

checks, daily calculations, weekly integrity

checks, and quarterly linearity checks. An an-

nual Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) is

necessary to maintain certification.

A sorbent trap is an extraction system

that directly measures vapor phase mercury

emissions. With this method, a grab sample

is taken from the stack and pulled onto the

sorbent trap. The sorbent captures (“traps”)

the mercury in the flue gas while an analyzer

will measure the amount of mercury in the

sorbent. Calibration gases are not required

for operation. However, the traps are typical-

ly set up for a seven-day continuous run and

therefore must be replaced weekly. Initial and

annual RATA verification are also required

for certification of this type of system.

For both systems, additional flue gas mea-

surements must be made to ensure accuracy.

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, moisture, and gas flow

measurements of the unit are needed to support

these systems. Although most large combustion

sources currently measure these parameters for

combustion control and other boiler functions,

some smaller units do not measure some of

these parameters on a continuous basis.

A special exception is allowed for EGUs that

have been determined to qualify as low-emis-

sion mercury sources. In these cases, the EGU

will only be required to perform periodic, once-

a-quarter monitoring of mercury utilizing EPA

Test Method 30B. To qualify as a low-emission

mercury emissions must be less than or equal to

29 pounds per year for at least three years.

Measurement of hydrochloric acid (HCl)

for existing units will depend primarily on

the current configuration of the unit. If the

facility is operating an existing flue gas des-

ulfurization (FGD) system, then the plant’s

existing Part 75 CEMS system will suffice for

HCl compliance. If no existing FGD system

is in place or if the facility is new, then two

options may be chosen for HCl monitoring.

Either a CEMS system for HCl measurement

or quarterly monitoring by EPA Test Method

26/26A may be used.

For the measurement of filterable particu-

late matter (PM), many more options exist.

Typically, either a PM-CEMS or PM–Contin-

uous Parametric Monitoring System (CPMS)

is used for measurement of filterable particu-

late emissions. For units that operate with

flue gas temperatures greater than the dew

point temperature, several measurement tech-

niques exist. PM emissions may be measured

using an optical system that will measure

either the opacity or dynamic opacity (scin-

tillation). An alternative technology relies on

scattered light that reflects off particles in the

flue gas. In this technique, a receiver mea-

sures the amount of light scatter from a light

source and equates that to a particulate load-

ing. Non-light-based measuring systems are

also available that utilize the electrification

of a probe to measure PM emissions.

For those units that operate below the

dew point limit in the stack, there are still

options for PM measurement. These tech-

niques are not in situ. Rather, they require

the extraction of flue gas from the stack.

Common measurement techniques for ex-

traction methods include beta absorption

and extractive light scattering.

Control of PollutantsControl of these pollutants is just as complex

as the measurement techniques (see sidebar).

The control of mercury emissions is particu-

larly difficult, as primary control techniques

adsorb mercury onto a sorbent, which is then

captured by a particulate control device.

Mercury, after the combustion process, ex-

ists in three states: an elemental state, a par-

ticulate state, and a divalent state. Mercury’s

state is critical to its mitigation, as mercury

in a particulate or divalent form has the great-

est potential to be removed from the flue gas

stream. Mercury existing in an elemental

state is a very stable molecule. It must be

forcibly oxidized to promote capture, or else

it will typically pass through the boiler and

emission control devices.

ACI systems are currently the best-de-

veloped technology for mercury reduction.

Depending on fuel characteristics (such as

the amount of halides present) and combus-

tion characteristics (such as the amount of

unburned carbon in fly ash), the proportions

of mercury present in a divalent or elemental

state in the flue gas will vary. An ACI system

must be specifically engineered to meet re-

moval rates required by regulations. This in-

cludes varying the porosity of the sorbent or

adding halides to aid in the adsorption of mer-

cury. It must also be noted that the addition of

activated carbon will affect the quality of the

fly ash. This leads to the potential of fly ash no

longer being marketable, which has additional

economic impacts on a facility.

Hydrogen chloride is a substance that can

be removed by several techniques that will

break down the acid gas into a neutral sub-

stance. Depending on the level of fuel-bound

chlorides, calcium-based sorbents such as

limestone and hydrated lime have the poten-

tial to remove the desired amount of hydro-

gen chloride. These sorbents are typically

used in sulfur dioxide scrubbing systems;

however, they can also be injected directly

into the furnace. If additional removal rates

are required, then sodium-based sorbents

such as trona or sodium bicarbonate may be

injected from upstream of the economizer to

the outlet of the air preheater.

Filterable PM may be a more problematic

pollutant to control with a plant’s existing

equipment. Removal rates for some facilities

will be pushed upward of 99.99%, and the

addition of various sorbents for mercury and

HCl mitigation will only increase particulate

loading. For plants utilizing electrostatic pre-

cipitators (ESP), the removal rates required

may push this technology beyond its limits.

If the existing ESP is unable to handle the

removal rates, then options to convert the

ESP to a pulse jet fabric filter may be inves-

tigated. If this is not a feasible option, then

an expensive option of decommissioning the

ESP and replacing it with a pulse jet fabric

filter would be required.

Alternate Emission LimitationsThe EPA has developed equivalent emission

standards as alternative limitations that a

facility may opt to meet. As a substitute for

meeting HCl emission levels, for example,

ACI systems are currently the best-developed technology for mercury reduction.


MERCURY EMISSIONS

the EPA has produced an equivalent emis-

sion standard for sulfur dioxide. If a facil-

ity cannot meet the filterable PM emission

standards, then the EPA has also developed

equivalent standards for total non-mercury

metals and individual non-mercury metals.

Individual non-mercury metals include the

following hazardous air pollutants: antimony,

arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, co-

balt, lead, manganese, nickel, and selenium.

If a facility were to elect to meet an al-

ternative emission limitation based on total

nonmercury metals or individual nonmer-

cury metals, some measurement or base-

loaded emission issues may need to be

addressed. For new units looking to utilize

coal or those that might consider switch-

ing fuels, it is common to utilize the EPA’s

Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Fac-

tors, or AP-42, to determine emission rates

of nonmercury metals. This set of data, pub-

lished since 1972, has been developed from

source test data, material balance studies,

and engineering estimates (Tables 3 and 4).

In order to meet the prescribed regula-

tions, direct measurement of nonmercury

metals will be necessary. EPA Test Method

29 is required to measure either total non-

mercury metals or individual nonmercury

metals. If direct measurement shows that

nonmercury metal emissions are higher than

EPA estimation equations, very little can be

done to mitigate this problem. Upgrades to

filterable particulate control devices will be

required to achieve higher efficiency rates

that drive down the nonmercury metal emis-

sion rates. The result is no more of an eco-

nomic advantage than if the facility were to

have chosen a filterable particulate emission

limitation to begin with.

Looking ForwardAs the compliance date for the MATS

regulation continues to creep closer, fa-

cilities using coal, solid oil-derived fuel,

or oil must start taking affirmative action

to comply. A significant amount of capital

investment followed by years of additional

operating expenditures will be required to

remain operational. Understanding how

this affects the future of coal-powered gen-

eration is difficult, and multiple plant clo-

sures will most likely occur as a result of

this regulation.

Confusion is added to the compliance

timeline as the EPA issued a stay on the ef-

fective dates for new facilities while hold-

ing steady on the effective dates of some

existing facilities with equivalent emission

limitations.

Measurement techniques are extensive

and require sensitivity not previously ob-

tainable. Litigation continues, which may

further change what has been promulgated.

The recent vacating of CSAPR leads to

questions about the future of MATS, al-

though how the court rules on the EPA’s pe-

tition is anyone’s guess. Further appeals are

also possible.

All of these circumstances make it dif-

ficult to predict if the final rule is truly

“final.” What is certain is that there are no

easy off-the-shelf solutions. While the court

juggles CSAPR, it is critical for facilities to

evaluate their operations and start down the

path toward MATS compliance. ■

PLANT DESIGN

LIDAR and 3D Modeling Produce Precise Designs Retrofit projects are often very time-consuming, both for the engineers who

must take numerous field measurements to produce drawings and for the contractor that must fabricate each assembly on site. A more cost-effective approach is to begin with a highly accurate set of as-built 3D models produced by laser scanning technology.

By Jason Hart, PE and John Bremer, PE, JQ

Power plant retrofit or renovation

projects can be tricky. Locating new

equipment or structures at an existing

site usually means preparing a design that

will fit in a highly congested area in a way

that will not clash with any existing struc-

tures, piping, or equipment. Nor can the

added equipment or structure be located in

areas that are inaccessible. In the past, de-

signers have addressed this design complex-

ity in one of two ways.

The first option was to take extensive

field notes based on tape measurements.

With extensive field notes taken by hand,

the designer took responsibility for the

complete design, particularly with respect

to surrounding obstructions. The contrac-

tor would build to the drawings, and when

(not if) problems were encountered during

construction, the contractor would request a

change order for more money and time to

complete the project.

The second approach was to alert the

contractor, in the drawings, that there

were constraints that must be “field veri-

fied.” However, leaving key dimensions

to be field verified requires the contractor

to redesign the project, particularly struc-

tural steel and piping, because each piece

must be hand-fit and welded in place. This

approach will also significantly drive up

field labor costs. Contractors, who are

justifiably concerned about assuming ad-

ditional cost and schedule risk, will price

work accordingly.

LIDAR Sees AllToday, there is a better way. Light Detec-

tion and Ranging (LIDAR) is an optical

remote-sensing technology that measures

the distance to an object by illuminating the

object using pulses from a laser to produce

three-dimensional (3D) geometric informa-

tion about the object. The term “laser scan”

is frequently used instead of LIDAR.

LIDAR is particularly useful in power

plant renovation projects because it brings

the power plant design back to the office

rather than requiring work in the field. The

laser scan accurately locates existing pipes,

conduit, equipment, structures, and other

obstructions and appurtenances that affect

the design of new structural framing, re-

gardless of complexity, as will be described

in the following case study.

In the office, the designer can take the

point cloud produced by the LIDAR scan-

ner and import it into a modeling program

to produce 3D models of objects of inter-

est. The designer is then able to model the

new structures, equipment, and piping as

required to work with existing as-built

conditions. Clash conditions are easily

detected and resolved in the model, not in

the field. The model of the new and exist-

ing as-built conditions is then used to pro-

duce 2D design drawings suitable for steel

fabricators.The assemblies can then be

constructed from bolted, shop-fabricated

steel members instead of field-cut welded

members. The switch to using prefabricat-

ed pieces leads to more predictable instal-

lation costs and schedules, which means

that projects can be competitively bid by

regional contractors.

In sum, incorporating LIDAR into the

design process saves time and money for

engineering, makes field work safer, and re-

duces cost and schedule risk for the owner

and contractor.

Limestone Mills Platform Case StudyLIDAR was used in the design of a series of

platforms to access the limestone mills at a

recently constructed fluidized bed combus-

tion lignite plant in central Texas. Limestone

is pulverized in the mills and injected into

the furnace along with the crushed lignite.

As the lignite burns, the limestone absorbs

sulfur dioxide as part of the combustion pro-

cess, which reduces the downstream sulfur

dioxide content.

Moisture in the limestone can clog the

feed chute of a limestone mill. The project

began when plant operators requested plat-

forms from which the feed chute at each mill

could be cleaned. The platform also needed

to be large enough to allow access around

the outside of the mill housing to service a

large access door.

The plant uses six limestone mills; the

west mill is shown in Figure 1 in its “as

found” configuration.

This was one of the first steel platform ex-

pansion projects to be constructed from bolt-

ed, shop-fabricated steel members instead of

field-cut welded members at the plant. The

limestone mill platforms were optimized to

fit within the space and around the surround-

ing equipment, pipes, conduits, and valves.

PLANT DESIGN

Neither the LIDAR scanning process nor the

assembly of the platforms required an outage

or interrupted any plant processes.

LIDAR, combined with 3D modeling, is

a much improved variation of the traditional

option one outlined earlier. The designer still

takes responsibility for locating the existing

pipe, equipment, and other details, but the

design is based on more complete and ac-

curate dimensions. In general, LIDAR scans

are accurate to plus or minus 0.25 inch and

are often more accurate than that. This sub-

stantially reduces the likelihood of a change

order or construction delay due to interfer-

ences encountered in the field during steel

erection.

The LIDAR Design ProcessThere are typically seven steps in the design

process when using LIDAR. Below, we de-

scribe those steps and illustrate how LIDAR

was successfully used in the platform design

for this case study.

1. Perform the LIDAR High-Density

Scans. Scanning is a line-of-sight process,

so anything that cannot be seen from the van-

tage point of the scanner is not scanned. Mov-

ing the scanner to a new location and making

another scan, where the object is visible,

will fill in the resulting “shadows.” Scanning

resolution is the density of points that can be

measured and varies based on distance of the

object from the scanner. An operator adjusts

the resolution because resolution affects the

speed of the scan. Typical resolution settings

at 100 meters are: 20 x 20 cm, 10 x 10 cm, 5 x

5 cm (the most common), or 2 x 2 cm.

A “target” placed on the objects of inter-

est determines the location and orientation

of the scans relative to each other. Back in

the office, the scans are registered relative

to each other using the targets. As long as

a scanner can “see” at least three targets in

each scan, the scans can be registered to

each other to obtain a point cloud of the vol-

ume of interest.

2. Easy targets. The laser scanner or LI-

DAR is mounted on a tripod adjacent to a plant

motor with a temporary target—the white

and blue sticker on the control panel cover—

that is used to properly align, or “register” the

scans. Courtesy: JQ

PLANT DESIGN

Figure 2 shows a LIDAR unit mounted on a standard surveyor’s

tripod. The unit has two windows—one on the side and one on the

top—through which it sends and receives the laser beam. LIDAR has

an integral camera to take digital photos that are used to assign color

to points from the scans. The handle can be removed to allow the

scanner to scan directly above if the area above the scanner is in-

cluded in the volume of interest.

Data describing the space near the mills was obtained with a LIDAR

scanner in two days by technicians working safely away from oper-

ating equipment. Each scan takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the

resolution and whether photos are taken. For this project, 25 scans were

obtained for the six limestone mills.

2. Process the Scan Data. Back in office, the registered point

cloud file is created and the file is colorized.

In the limestone mill project, once the scans were registered into a

single point cloud, designers could measure existing conditions and

check for interferences entirely in computer-assisted design (CAD)

software, eliminating the need for several trips to the plant to record

myriad field measurements. The point cloud captured encumbrances

that were not recorded on as-built drawings and which interfered with

the layout of the new platforms.

Figure 3 shows the raw, uncolorized scan of the limestone mill,

and Figure 4 shows the same scan after photos from the scanner were

used to assign colors to the points. The color makes it easier—in some

cases much easier—for the designer to discern objects in the scan.

3. Import and Post-Process Data. Next, the point cloud file is

imported into a 3D CAD file using third-party software. Then post-

processing of the registered point cloud file takes place so that extra-

neous points are eliminated. The range of the scanner can be limited

in the field, but limiting the range does not speed up the scan, so the

scanner is usually left to scan everything.

The point cloud can also be divided into “levels” or specific areas

of interest. This reduces the point cloud file size.

Finally, undesirable elements, such as scaffolding, vehicles, and

people are removed.

4. Model Existing Equipment, Structures, Pipes, and Con-

duits. As the designer goes through the point cloud to lay out a new

structural model, he or she can cut slices through the point cloud and

eliminate some of the clutter. The designer can see the structural ele-

ments, railings, and equipment. As the designer zooms in with the

point cloud file, objects become much clearer.

In addition to large pieces of equipment, the point cloud is used to

model elements such as pipes, ducts, and conduits, including hang-

ers, valves, concrete pedestals, and structural steel members. Even the

flange width, beam depth, and flange thickness of existing structural

members can be measured from the point cloud.

5. Lay Out and Design the New Structure(s). Once the 3D

model of the as-built configuration is completed, the same 3D

CAD file can be used to design the new elements, with particular

attention paid to existing elements to avoid interferences. Most of

the new structure is modeled with the point cloud turned off, but

the designer occasionally toggles the point cloud back on to make

sure the structure doesn’t clash with existing piping, structures,

or equipment.

Figure 5 shows the 3D model of the new platforms and the point

cloud of the existing plant. In general, every valve, instrument sen-

sor or gauge, small-diameter tubing, and flexible electrical cabling

is not modeled, but these items are accounted for when the structure

is laid out around the items in the point cloud. Figure 6 shows cable

trays and pipes that the new platforms were designed around. Figure

6. Do a Reality Check. Provide views of the model to plant staff

to review and confirm that the work will meet operational needs. In

some projects, a virtual walk-through of the project is possible where

equipment operators and maintainers can explore the design as they

would after construction. Changes can be made in the software model

much faster and cheaper than after the structural steel is installed.

7. Complete the Design Documentation. The final step is to

cut sections through the model to start laying out the 2D drawings.

After this point the production process is no different than the tradi-

tional 2D drawing production process, and the end result is a set of

2D construction drawings.

The comprehensiveness and detail of the information allowed the

platform designers to quickly and accurately complete their work.

With high-quality drawings, the fabricator was able to rapidly pre-

fabricate parts. Simplifying the steel connections and reducing the

amount of time the contractor was mobilized on site reduced the risk

of impacting plant operations. There were no construction change

orders on the project, and a last-minute addition to the scope of

work that doubled the size of the platforms was designed in less

than a week because no additional field measurements were re-

quired (Figure 8).

Future Uses of 3D Models Contractors have commented that when bidding on platforms proj-

ects based on LIDAR field measurements, they are confident that

the drawings are going to accurately reflect the existing conditions

and show the level of detail needed for the job. Lower contractor

bid prices reflect the improved drawing quality. In fact, some con-

tractors have taken the 3D CAD files created by the engineer and

imported the files into detailing software to prepare shop drawings,

further reducing the time required for manual re-entry of geometric

and material information.

As more contractors adopt 3D modeling into their standard pro-

cedures, the 2D drawing creation step may no longer be necessary,

because 3D models can then be turned over to the contractor to pre-

pare shop drawings.

The 3D model of the completed project is also beneficial to the

owner because the images are easier to understand by those with-

out a technical or plant operations background. Plant engineers have

commented on how the images from a 3D model, when shown to

operators at the design phase, have elicited much more feedback than

previously, leading to the optimum platform being constructed for the

operator’s needs. An asset management engineer at the plant in the

case study said, “The 3D models are terrific. We get a lot more feed-

back from operators compared to when we’d review drawings.”

The 3D models also serve as documentation of the final as-built

configuration. And, after construction, the models from past proj-

ects have the added advantage of helping to visualize future projects

in the same area. ■

CLEAN COAL

China Leads the Global Race to Cleaner CoalCoal used for power generation has been the cornerstone of economic de-

velopment, social progress, and a higher quality of life around the globe and is now fueling the 21st-century economic miracle rapidly unfolding in China. Meanwhile, China is leading the world in coal-fired plant efficiency and the deployment of clean coal technologies.

By Jude Clemente, San Diego State University

Over the past 20 years, coal has in-

creased its share of China’s total

power generation from 72% to 80%,

providing electricity for the first time to

more than 500 million people. China’s

electrification rate is now 99%, compared

to less than 60% in 1990, while annual

per capita consumption has soared from

500 kWh to 2,900 kWh. China more than

tripled its share of global coal-based gen-

eration from 11% in 1990 (471 TWh) to

37% in 2011 (3,170 TWh). The economic

benefits for the Asian nation are obvious.

For example, the World Bank’s Human

Development Indicators show that around

85% of the global population that rose out

of poverty since 1990 was Chinese.

As the world strives to eliminate energy

poverty while simultaneously meeting rising

demand, China’s unprecedented progress

has set an example. Consider projections of

future generation sources made by the In-

ternational Energy Agency’s (IEA’s) World

Energy Model and the U.S. Energy Infor-

mation Administration’s (EIA’s) National

Energy Modeling System (Figure 1). The

bulk of new demand will occur in the de-

veloping world, where massive amounts of

affordable and reliable power are required

to lift hundreds of millions into the modern

age. In short, the world will continue to use

coal, and consumption will significantly

expand for decades to come.

Clean coal technologies will be the means

to meet both burgeoning global energy de-

mand and climate policy goals. Some are

expected to be deployable at scale in the

early-2020s, while the evolving technology

of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and

near-zero emissions are expected to follow

shortly thereafter. Until that time, highly

efficient and large supercritical (SC) and

ultrasupercritical (USC) coal plants can

meet immediate needs while significantly

reducing emissions intensity.

In fact, efficient plants are a prerequisite

for retrofitting with CCS, because the cap-

turing, transporting, and storing of a plant’s

carbon dioxide (CO2) consumes energy.

The teaming of higher efficiency coal-fired

technologies and CCS will unlock the full

value of coal. In this race, China enjoys a

global lead.

China’s Clean Coal Technology Plans and Achievements U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu re-

ports that advanced coal-based power

plants are one of the seven energy arenas in

which China is outpacing the U.S. Here are

some of the ways in which China is leading

the race.

Initiated in 2007, China’s dual programs

of Large Substituting for Small (LSS) and

Energy Conservation Power Generation

(ECPG) are expected to result in the de-

commissioning of over 114 GW of small,

inefficient plants and the addition of 112

GW of more efficient SC units. In short,

China’s future growth in generation capac-

ity centers on evolving from 300-MW and

600-MW subcritical boilers to larger and

more efficient SC and USC boilers ranging

in size from 600 MW to 1,000 MW. These

advanced plants produce almost 40% fewer

emissions than many existing coal plants,

thereby making them cleaner. The rule of

thumb is that a 1% increase in plant effi-

ciency reduces emissions—such as CO2,

SO2, NOx, and particulates—by approxi-

mately 2%.

According to the IEA, the average oper-

ating efficiency of the world’s existing coal

plant fleet is under 29%. New SC plants,

however, can achieve overall thermal effi-

ciencies in the 44% range, and USC units

can reach 46% to 48%. China has deployed

some of the world’s most efficient coal

power stations, such as Shanghai Waigai-

qiao Unit 3, which has a peak efficiency of

over 46%.

China is also rapidly proceeding with

GreenGen, a $1 billion initiative in Tianjin

to advance near-zero-emissions coal-based

electricity with hydrogen production and

China through 2030 differ but agree that coal will remain a major player. The International En-

ergy Agency’s World Energy Outlook 2011 numbers are shown on the left, and U.S. Energy

Information Administration’s International Energy Outlook 2011 numbers are shown on the right.

CLEAN COAL

had come online by November 2007. New

units incorporate high-efficiency dust re-

moval and desulfurization, and Yuhuan Units

1 and 2 are touted as the “world’s cleanest,

most efficient and most advanced” PC units,

with an efficiency rating of 46%.

Rapid deployment is required because

China has limited availability of good sites

for large-scale power plants, and USC PC

units allow power generation companies,

which are aggressively competing against

each other, to expand their total capacity and

utilize their sites more efficiently. In fact, all

five of China’s largest power generation com-

panies now have their own USC PC units.

As a pioneer in efficient boiler technol-

ogy, the Babcock & Wilcox Co. (B&W)

announced in September 2010 that B&W

Beijing Co. will build two 1,000-MW USC

coal-fired boilers for a large power plant

project in Zhejiang province. The two Spiral

Wound Universal Pressure (SWUP) boilers

will use one of B&W’s most advanced and

efficient coal-fired boiler designs.

The SWUP is engineered for both base-

load and variable pressure load-cycling

operation, as well as on-off cycling opera-

tion. The SWUP is unique in that the tubes

in the furnace, from the lower furnace inlet

headers to a location near the furnace arch,

are wound around the furnace circumfer-

ence rather than being vertical. This lets the

fluid in the tubes pass through the various

heat flux zones around the furnace, provid-

ing a more uniform outlet enthalpy. B&W’s

spiral furnaces utilize multi-lead ribbed tub-

ing to allow once-through operation at lower

minimum loads. (See “Design Features of

Advanced Ultrasupercritical Plants,” Parts I,

II, and III in the March, May, and July 2012

issues of COAL POWER, available at www

.coalpowermag.com.) Contract activities for

the Zhejiang project are under way, and de-

livery is scheduled for late 2012.

Emerson Process Management will install

its Ovation expert control system at two new

1,000-MW USC coal-fired generating units

now under construction in China’s Anhui

province. According to the company, the

Ovation is now being used to automate and

control processes and equipment at more than

half the 1,000-MW units in China, including

a number of USC plants. For both new units,

the Ovation system will perform data acqui-

sition, as well as monitor and control all ma-

jor plant components, including the boiler,

turbine, and generator. Unifying boiler and

turbine operations offers many operational

benefits, namely improved unit stability, re-

sponsiveness, thermal efficiencies, tighter

control of operations, and a leaner view of

key plant and turbine parameters. The sys-

tem will also manage each unit’s modulat-

ing control system, sequence control system,

electrical control system, furnace safety su-

pervisory system, feedwater turbine control

system, and flue gas desulfurization system.

Looking forward, China’s coal-based elec-

tricity will be increasingly clean. LSS and

ECPG help ensure that only modern units

get access to the power grid. The National

Development and Reform Commission uses

policy instruments and economic incentives

to prioritize the scheduling of cleaner and

larger coal plants.

For example, in order to build a new 600-

MW station, 420 MW of old capacity must

be closed, and for a 1,000-MW new unit, at

least 600 MW must be shuttered. Over the

next decade, new power plants with a unit

capacity of 600 MW and above will all be re-

quired to be advanced, roughly half of which

will be USC. By 2030, subcritical units are

expected to account for only 30% of China’s

total thermal generation capacity, against

more than 80% in 2007 (see table). The av-

erage efficiency of China’s coal-fired power

plants is expected to increase from around

30% today to above 40% in 2030.

Follow the LeaderChina has leveraged coal to virtually eliminate

abject electricity deprivation. The country’s

commitment to higher plant efficiency means

more power, less fuel consumption, and a cor-

responding reduction in emissions intensity.

This model is being repeated in the other

emerging giant, India, where power genera-

tion needs are staggering: 280 million Indians

lack electricity, 600 million cook with wood

or dung, and 900 million have no refrigera-

tion. India’s Ultra Mega Power Projects will

deploy larger and more efficient coal-fired

SC units to narrow the gap between India’s

low per capita power use (600 kWh/year) and

that of the West (7,000+ kWh/year).

From 2009 to 2030, the IEA projects that

India will increase its coal-based generation

capacity from 92 GW to 290 GW—more

than gas, nuclear, wind, and solar combined.

Advanced coal power stations have lower

operating costs due to their higher efficiency.

Indeed, the United Nations (UN) finds that

the capital cost of a SC plant is “more or less”

the same as that of a subcritical plant, espe-

cially as economies of scale take hold.

Some 1,300 million people today lack

access to electricity, the sine qua non of

modern civilization. Unfortunately, the

IEA projects that this number will only be

reduced by a “shameful and unacceptable”

20%, to 1,036 million, by 2030. The effects

of electricity deprivation are devastating.

The UN reports that 25,000 children die

each day—many from preventable causes

that electricity helped eliminate in the West

almost a century ago. Importantly, all eight

of the UN Millennium Development Goals

require access to electricity.

As they look toward the future, many in

the global scientific and engineering com-

munity have turned their creative gaze to the

safe management of CO2. Meanwhile, poli-

cies to achieve sustainability should look

for ways to promote technological advance-

ments that will offer us the ability to con-

tinue using our vast reserves of coal more

efficiently and cleanly. ■

CLEAN COAL

CCS. The first phase of GreenGen came

online at the end of 2011, and commercial

operations are set to begin in 2016.

China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011–2015)

aims to cut carbon intensity, the ratio be-

tween changes in CO2 emissions and gross

domestic product, by 17% (see “China’s

12th Five-Year Plan Pushes Power Industry

in New Directions,” January 2012, available

in the POWER archives at www.powermag

.com). The nation is now installing some of

the largest, most advanced coal units in the

world using SC and USC steam conditions

and modern SO2/NOx and dust control sys-

tems. According to the Asian Development

Bank, “This has resulted in a significant

reduction in coal consumption, greenhouse

gas and other pollutant emissions, and im-

pressive improvement in energy efficiency.”

More than 500 small, inefficient ther-

mal generating units, with the combined

generating capacity of 14.4 GW, were

decommissioned in the first year of LSS

alone, and 43 million tons of coal and a

corresponding 60 million tons of CO2 were

saved in the first two years. From 2006 to

2011, the nationwide average coal con-

sumption for power generation plummeted

from approximately 366 grams of coal

equivalent (gce)/kWh to 330 gce/kWh,

suggesting that the 320 gce/kWh goal for

2020 will easily be achieved (Figure 2).

Over 80% of China’s orders for ther-

mal power capacity are for 600-MW SC or

1,000-MW USC units, and the country now

represents some 90% of the global market

for advanced coal combustion power gen-

eration systems and associated environ-

mental control systems.

Pulverized coal (PC) combustion is one of

the most mature generation options, which

has led Chinese policymakers to favor the

most advanced PC technologies: SC and USC

plants. For example, all four of the 1,000-MW

coal-fired USC pressure boilers at Yuhuan

Pipe Clamp for Vibration SensingFauske & Associates LLC (FAI) recently patented a specialized pipe clamp to seat vibration-sensing equipment. A beam attached to the clamp protrudes through the pipe insulation. The beam is partially hollow and vented to promote cooling so that accelerometers can be installed on the tip of the beam outside the high-temperature and/or radiation area for accurate vibration level monitoring. The FAI pipe clamp has a natural frequency of about 1 kHz. All pipe vibrations below this frequency will be accurately recorded or slightly amplified at frequencies closer to 1 kHz, and the frequency of 1 kHz is sufficiently large and above expected pipe vibration frequencies, which are typically in the range of 10 Hz to 500 Hz, the Illinois-based company says. The dynamics of the pipe clamp have reportedly been defined by a deterministic approach as well as experimental data, which provide additional confidence and refinement of the theoretical analysis.

Electric Screen Vibrators

Martin Engineering introduced a new family of electric screen vibrators for regular duty and hazardous environments. Designed to deliver up to 16,500 pounds of centrifugal force for efficient material separation, Martin screen vibrators are built to withstand the rigors of industrial applications and continuous use, and can run 24/7, as needed.

With a traditional screen vibrator, the drive functions as the energy source. The energy is transferred via a structural bridge to the vibratory box, which is isolated by the springs. In the new Martin design, the energy source is an integral part of the structural tube that can be mounted to the sides or top of a vibratory box, making it much easier for designers to engineer and manufacture new kinds of vibratory screens. The new vibrators can be used with a variable-frequency drive in ordinary and hazardous atmospheres. Explosion-proof models are ETL/cETL/ATEX/IECex–certified for hazardous duty. (www.martin-eng.com)

Rotary Peristaltic Pump

The new portable, nonmetallic Flex-I-Liner rotary peristaltic pump from Vanton Pump and Equipment Corp. evacuates drums and totes containing acids, caustics, salts, chlorides, and reagent grade chemicals, without corrosion of the pump or contamination of the fluid. The self-priming design has no seals to leak or valves to clog and can run dry for extended periods without damage. Compact in size, with an integral handle, it fits on drum lids without protruding and has sufficient lift characteristics to operate from the floor, skid, or stand. Only two nonmetallic parts contact fluid: a thermoplastic body block and an elastomeric flexible liner that can be replaced in the field without special tools.

A rotor mounted on an eccentric shaft oscillates within the flexible liner, imparting a progressive squeegee action on the fluid trapped in the channel between the liner and the body block. Flanges on the flexible liner are pressed to the side of the body block by concentric grooves on the bracket assembly and the cover plate, isolating the fluid to the channel. The wide choice of thermoplastics and elastomers in which these pumps are available permits their use over the full pH range and for an extensive list of corrosive, volatile, and viscous fluids. The pump is suitable for flows from 0.33 gallons per minute (gpm) to 40 gpm and pressures to 45 psig at temperatures to 250F. (www.vanton.com)

Steve Elonka began chronicling the exploits of Marmaduke

Surfaceblow—a fictional six-foot-four marine engineer with a

steel brush mustache and a foghorn voice—in POWER in 1948,

when he raised the wooden mast of the SS Asia Sun with the help

of two cobras and a case of Sandpaper Gin. Surfaceblow’s simple

solutions to seemingly intractable plant problems remain time-

less. This anthology, first published in 1979, highlights many of

Marmaduke’s exploits that occurred during his early years (pre-

WW I) through the 1960s.

Surfaceblow’s knowledge comes from hands-on expe-

rience operating steam power plants and

all manner of machinery. Later in the series

a son, Guy Newcomen Surfaceblow, was

introduced. He is a university-trained engi-

neer who also has field experience that gives

him credibility when working with hard-boiled

characters in the boonies. The character’s name

was coined from Marmaduke, a Scottish name,

and Surfaceblow, which is the action of remov-

ing impurities from a steam boiler.

In this book, available in a PDF download, you will

find all of Surfaceblow’s adventures

consolidated into a single volume. Many of the

stories were inspired by actual events.

Available in a PDF format, 321 pages long.

COMMENTARY

Navigating a Sea of New RegulationsBy Dr. Thomas E. Higgins, PE

A convergence of new environmental regulations and practical realities is creating a boatload of challenges for power pro-ducers. Impending regulations addressing raw water intake,

wastewater discharges, and coal ash management—as well as is-sues such as drought, water scarcity, and public concerns and utility liabilities with ash ponds—are giving power plant owners much to consider. Add the fact that states are enacting their own, sometimes more-stringent requirements, and the horizon is anything but clear as utility decision-makers chart a course for compliance.

A Wave of ChangesTwo anticipated regulations are of key concern to utilities oper-ating coal-fired power plants:

■ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed regulations addressing coal combustion residuals (CCR) for electric generating plants.

■ The EPA’s updated rulemaking for steam electric power gener-ating industry effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs).

These issues primarily boil down to the need for either ash pond lining or replacement of ponds with wastewater treatment systems (for the first) and applying best available technology to treat flue gas desulfurization scrubber and other wastewater (for the second). The ELGs may also prohibit discharge of ash transport water, ne-cessitating changes to plants’ ash-handling systems. Also on the horizon are changes to Sections 316(a) and (b) of the Clean Water Act, addressing power plant thermal discharge impacts and cooling water intake structure impacts on fish and other aquatic life.

Meanwhile, many power plant owners are facing, or already must meet, strict limits on contaminants in their plants’ wastewa-ter discharges, primarily driven by regional water quality–based limits. As more receiving water bodies are listed as impacted or impaired due to metals, nutrients, or salinity, such limits will likely become more common and more stringent.

Don’t Wait for the RegulationsPrudence suggests doing more than treading water while await-ing the new regulations, the changes they will require, and the deadlines they will impose. Committing to specific modifications or new processes like zero liquid discharge (ZLD) too quickly, however, can be counterproductive, possibly resulting in over-spending yet underachieving.

A good way to start is with the end in mind: Identify your specific goals—for example, complying with current and future regulations, reducing water use/increasing reuse, or closing ash ponds. Then gather the information needed to meet those goals. Next, fill any data gaps (using methods such as sampling and analysis, flow balance and mass balance, and modeling). Collect-ing data from multiple years will account for variability of coal composition and wastewater streams under different conditions and allow designs to reduce conservatism necessitated by lack of data. Finally, evaluate alternatives and make well-informed

choices. Important screening criteria include compliance with current and pending regulations, long-term effectiveness and permanence, reliability, suitability for implementation, land availability, potential for adverse effects, and cost.

A practical approach to selecting cost-effective alternatives is to progressively evaluate their ability to meet the desired objectives, starting with the least costly alternative. For example, a first step might simply be to determine whether negotiating more-favorable permit conditions is possible. Once the best options are identified, conduct bench-scale or pilot-scale testing, if possible, to confirm that they work effectively under actual plant conditions.

This type of approach will help ensure cost-effective, sustain-able solutions that address the myriad complexities inherent in coal composition and wastewater variability, water and wastewa-ter treatment and reuse potential, CCR management options, and the flexibility to meet future regulations.

Plan to Be FlexibleGetting a jump on meeting upcoming regulations is a great start. Incorporating flexibility to meet stricter regulations in the future is even better. A Northeastern power producer, for example, de-cided to convert two coal-fired plants to tank-based wastewater treatment systems so it could close its ash ponds. CH2M HILL is working with the owner to meet its objectives and provide flex-ibility to accommodate expansion and the cost-effective addi-tion of treatment for future trace metals limits. Anticipating that future discharge limits could necessitate additional, expensive treatment (such as ZLD), the system was designed to allow full effluent reuse in the future, eliminating virtually all of the nearly 8 mgd of wastewater discharge and reducing the size of any fu-ture ZLD system, if required, from over 10,000 gpm to 400 gpm.

For water scarcity issues, reuse of another type could be an op-tion. In New York, the new Empire Power Plant’s water resource needs were matched with a nearby wastewater treatment plant, and a drilled pipeline was constructed to convey municipal efflu-ent to the new facility. This effluent meets the power plant’s full process water needs, thus reducing freshwater consumption by up to 4,800 gpm. The WaterMatch Initiative (www.ch2mhill.com/ watermatch) promotes sustainable solutions like this by facilitating partnerships between alternative water sources and water users.

Go with the FlowAs the surge of regulatory change approaches, make the most of this “quiet time” to identify your goals, consider how you might meet them, and gather the necessary data. Starting now and taking a practical, comprehensive, forward-looking approach to compliance can help you keep an even keel as you meet the chal-lenges of changing regulations in a changing world.■
