Nation’s First Offshore Wind Farm Releases Community from
Decades of Diesel 24
The Block Island Wind Farm is a triumph of technology, and a milestone for
U.S. energy as the nation’s first offshore wind power generation project. The
installation off the coast of Rhode Island began serving Block Island in May
2017, eliminating the use of costly diesel fuel.

Anesco Celebrates Subsidy-Free Solar 26

The Clayhill solar farm in the UK is the first built without the use of govern-
12
ment subsidies. As the nation’s solar industry adjusts to finding new funding
for its projects, less-costly technologies are in play, including the use of bat-
tery storage.

China’s Renewables Strategy Shines in Massive Solar Park 28

China has ambitious targets for increasing power generation from renewable
sources even as it continues to rely heavily on coal-fired power. Among its
renewable projects is the Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, part of a hydro-solar
integration. The facility is a model for the country’s future energy strategy.

Sarulla, One of the World’s Largest Geothermal Power Projects,

Comes Alive with Private Finance 30
The Sarulla Geothermal Power Plant in Indonesia is among several projects
planned in the region over the past decade, but it’s the only one to be financed
to completion. The first two units of the 330-MW facility came online this year,
and when a third unit enters service in 2018, Sarulla will be one of the largest
geothermal plants in the world.

Solar Power’s Golden Opportunity: Connected Tech 38

Most solar farms are already computerized and collecting massive amounts
of data. However, the utilization of that data to build predictive capabilities
remains largely untapped. Now opportunities exist to integrate intelligent
technology, including some that was originally developed for conventional
energy resources.

Increase the IQ of Your Intelligent Sootblowing 40

Power plants for many years have mostly used the same method to blow
soot. Advanced technology now provides boiler operators with better tech-

 SPEAKING OF POWER
Power Plant Tragedies Bring
Safety to the Forefront
Aaron Larson
ower plants are inherently danger-
P ous. Although safety is taken very
seriously at most facilities, every
year workers around the world are killed
on the job by electrocution, falls, explo-
sions, fires, and while working in confined
spaces. Many more are injured through
various less-extreme accidents.
Recent Incidents Are Risk
Reminders
On November 1, an explosion and fire at NT-
PC’s Feroze Gandhi Unchahar Thermal Power
Station in India killed 43 people and injured
many more. The incident investigation will
take some time to complete, but an NTPC
official reportedly said pressure inside the
boiler reached 70 times normal operating
pressure prior to the blast. An emergency
shut-off mechanism apparently failed to ac-
tuate, causing the explosion, which resulted
in pressurized steam and hot flue gases
overwhelming dozens of workers.
In another incident, this one on June 29
at the Big Bend Power Station in Apollo
Beach, Florida, five workers were killed
while trying to unplug a slag tank blockage
under the plant’s Unit 2 boiler. The workers
were water-blasting through a “doghouse
door” while the unit was online. Local me-
dia sources reported that about 20 minutes
into the job, molten slag, which can reach
temperatures above 1,000F, burst through
the door, burning the workers severely. Two
died at the scene and three perished later
as a result of their injuries.
Close Calls
For me, the news of those incidents brought
back memories of near misses in my past.
When I was the operations and mainte-
nance manager at a biomass plant in the
Midwest, our boiler experienced a signifi-
cant wall tube rupture that blew the corner
of the boiler apart, releasing high-pressure
steam and flue gases into the boiler build-
ing. Fortunately, the incident occurred on
the night shift when only a few operators
were onsite. Although one worker had been
in the area doing rounds roughly 30 min-
utes earlier, no one was in the immediate
vicinity when the tube ruptured.
6 www.powermag.com
The burst was unexpected to say the
least. The boiler was relatively new, having
only been in service for perhaps a couple
of years prior to the incident. The cause
was sootblower erosion, which had resulted
due to excessive settings being established
during commissioning. Wall blowers on
the two lowest levels of the furnace were
being operated at higher-than-necessary
pressures, on a more-often-than-required
frequency, performing double sweeps dur-
ing each actuation in an effort to keep wall
tubes spotless. The commissioning contrac-
tor believed the extreme level of cleanliness
was necessary in order to meet performance
guarantees. However, the steam from the
wall blowers was reaching the corner tubes,
eroding them significantly and causing the
premature failure.
Another incident from my past that
could have been tragic if someone had
been in the wrong place at the wrong time
occurred when a boiler gauge glass burst.
I don’t have a good explanation for why
it failed, but I can tell you that the noise
near the boiler drum following the break
could easily have been mistaken for a
jumbo jet taking off. I personally isolated
the gauge, using chain operators from two
decks below. Fragments of glass speckled
the wall some 25 feet away. Thankfully, no
one was nearby when the burst occurred.
My point is that risks abound through-
out power plants, even in areas that work-
ers may consider to be reasonably safe. In
the military, recruits are often told to “Keep
your head on a swivel.” It means to keep
your eyes open and be keenly aware of ev-
erything that’s going on around you. Those
words are worth remembering when a person
is in a power plant. Workers must always pay
attention to their surroundings and watch
for potential danger lurking nearby. Never
put yourself in the line of fire.
I don’t think anyone wants to be injured
on the job, and I seriously doubt that any
manager or supervisor wants to see a work-
er get hurt. Unfortunately, sometimes the
pressure to get things done or keep a unit
online leads people to make bad decisions.
I’ve been there, and I know it can happen
to almost anyone.
Managing Contractor Safety
While permanent plant staff should be fa-
miliar with a station’s safety policies and
procedures, contractors may not be inti-
mately acquainted with all of the rules.
Additionally, contractors may not be aware
of the plant layout or all of the safety
equipment and systems available in vari-
ous areas. For those reasons, managers and
supervisors may want to spend extra time
ensuring contractors have a firm grasp of
the plant’s safety expectations, and moni-
tor their work more closely for potential
safety deficiencies.
A recent survey conducted by ISN Ana-
lytics titled “Contractor Management Strat-
egy: Insights from a Survey of Decision
Makers” found that improving the safety
performance of contractors was a top prior-
ity driving contractor management goals.
“The survey data confirms what we’ve
seen in the industry; leading organiza-
tions drive a safety-first culture and main-
tain a documented strategic plan for their
contractor management objectives,” Dag
Yemenu, senior vice president of technical
services at ISN, said in a release announc-
ing the survey results.
The survey categorized each organiza-
tion into one of five stages of contractor
management process maturity. Of those
ranked as “Leading” organizations, a focus
on safety was a common attribute. In ad-
dition to driving a safety-first culture, the
leaders were said to “report leading metrics
of performance,” including near misses,
audit findings, and culture and perception
survey findings. And perhaps most signifi-
cantly, the leading organizations did not
feel challenged to garner the support and
commitment of management.
“By establishing a clear communica-
tion strategy, incorporating a risk-ranking
process and integrating internal business
processes, a sustainable contractor man-
agement system is one that enables you to
meet your safety and compliance objectives
while promoting a culture of transparency,
partnership and continuous improvement,”
Yemenu concluded. ■

IAEA: Pending Reactor
Retirements Will Drag
Down Global Nuclear
Capacity Projections
Cheap natural gas, the impact of subsidized
intermittent renewables on power prices,
and nuclear policies in several countries in
the aftermath of the Fukushima accident
will continue to hamper strong growth of
new nuclear capacity around the world,
the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) said in an October report. However,
the world’s central intergovernmental fo-
rum for nuclear energy is optimistic that
commitments under the Paris agreement
may boost long-term prospects. 
At the end of 2016, 448 nuclear reactors
were operational worldwide with a total net
installed capacity of 391 GW, representing
about 11% of the world’s total power gen-
eration. Another 61 units, a total capacity
of 61 GW, were under construction, accord-
ing to the Vienna-based agency.  ity could be added. The high case, how-
High projections in the IAEA’s newly
released 37th annual edition of “Energy,
Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for
the Period up to 2050,” predict an increase
in nuclear capacity worldwide, compared to
2016 levels, of 42% in 2030, 83% in 2040,
and 123% in 2050. Low projections, how-
ever, suggest capacity will decline 12% by
2030 and 15% by 2040, before rebounding
to current levels by 2050 (Figure 1).
The report, which is based on statistical
data collected by the IAEA’s Power Reac-
tor Information System (PRIS), reflects
“contrasting, but not extreme, underlying
assumptions on the different driving fac-
tors that have an impact on nuclear power
deployment,” and vary from country to
country. Beyond the impact of gas and re-
newables, attributes affecting the future
of nuclear include “financial uncertainty”
and declining electricity consumption
in some regions, along with heightened
safety requirements, and “challenges in
deploying advanced technologies,” which
have “increased construction times and
costs, contributing to delays.”  China, which had 38 operating nuclear
The projections also take into account
a slew of reactor retirements expected

Test of Carbon Capture
Technology Underway at
Iceland Geothermal Plant
The Swiss company Climeworks in October
said it had begun another round of test-
ing for a direct air capture (DAC) facility
at a 300-MW geothermal power plant in
Hellisheidi, Iceland. Climeworks, which is
running the trial with Iceland utility Reyk-
javik Energy, is part of a research project
to demonstrate that DAC of carbon diox-
ide (CO2) can be combined with permanent
geological storage, as proof that DAC is a
highly scalable carbon removal technology.

Climeworks has developed a DAC mod-

the gas would remain stored for at least 1
million years.
The trial is part of the CarbFix2 project
led by Reykjavik Energy and financed by
the European Union’s Horizon 2020 re-
search program. It began in August and is
financed into 2021. The Hellisheidi plant
first began using carbon capture technol-
ogy in 2007, when a group of scientists,
engineers, technicians, and business lead-
ers began work on the first CarbFix project
led by Reykjavik Energy.
CarbFix researchers last year released a
study documenting how CO2 injected into
the ground turned into carbonate minerals
in less than two years, a process previous-
ly thought to require hundreds of years,
enhancing the viability of the Climeworks’
project. “Our results show that between
95 and 98 percent of the injected CO2 was
mineralized over the period of less than
two years, which is amazingly fast,” the
study’s lead author, Dr. Juerg Matter, said.
The CarbFix2 pilot program can remove
an estimated 50 metric tons of CO2 from
the air each year, eliminating more CO2
than it produces. Climeworks’ engineers

THE BIG PICTURE: Global CCS
In a November report, The Global CCS Institute said carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the only technology able to decarbonize the industrial sector. To
reach the Paris Agreement’s target to keep global atmospheric temperature increases to below 2 degrees Celsius, 2,500 CCS facilities will need to be
operational by 2040, with 14% of cumulative emissions reductions coming from CCS. Yet, to date only 17 large-scale CCS facilities are operational globally,
capturing more than 30 million tonnes per annum. Only two are at power plants. No large-scale power plant projects are now under construction or even in
advanced development, though a handful of projects are in early development. While these projects may benefit from the declining costs of deployment and
profitability of CCS, which has been demonstrated in the power sector, their success will rest on a number of factors, including government support. Source:

4. How the carbon capture sys-
tem works. This infographic shows how
the Climeworks carbon capture system works
at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant.
Ambient air is drawn into the plant, and car-
bon dioxide (CO2) within the air is chemically
bound to the filter. When the filter is saturated
with CO2, it is heated with low-grade heat
from the power plant to about 212F. The CO2
is then released from the filter and collected
as concentrated gas, bound with water, and
sent underground. The CO2-free air is sent
back into the atmosphere. Climeworks says
its filter can be used thousands of times for
this process. Courtesy: Climeworks
ects could be used globally, though cost is
among the issues—Climeworks estimates
it costs $600 to extract one ton of CO2
from the air.
The capacity of the plant is expected to
be 900 metric tons annually by year-end
2017, which the company notes is equiva-
lent to the annual emissions of about 45
people in the U.S. Climeworks’ founder and
CEO Christoph Gebald said, “The potential
of scaling-up our technology in combina-
tion with CO2 storage is enormous.”
The company’s goal is to cut costs to
$100 per metric ton by 2025, and capture
1% of global manmade carbon emissions
each year. The company has not released
details on how to move forward, but in-
vestors in the technology include the
European Space Agency and Microsoft co-
founder Bill Gates, one of the world’s rich-
est people.
Iceland’s geology helps the technology
work. In some carbon capture projects, CO2
is injected into sedimentary rock, which
does not react with gas. Iceland features
volcanic rock, known as basalt. CO2 reacts
quickly with basalt to form carbonate
rocks, eliminating the need for manage-
ment of an underground gas reservoir.
Other companies involved in DAC tech-
nology include Global Thermostat in the
U.S., Carbon Engineering in Canada, and
Skytree in the Netherlands. Skytree is a
spinoff of the European Space Agency,
originally set up to develop ways to filter
CO2 breathed by astronauts in spacecraft.

World’s First Floating
Wind Farm Powers Up off
Scottish Coast
The world’s first floating offshore wind
farm, located roughly 25 kilometers off
the coast of Peterhead, Scotland, powered
up on October 18, delivering electricity to
the Scottish grid.
Hywind Scotland was developed by
Norwegian oil company Statoil based on
the results of an eight-year demonstration
project located off the shore of Karmøy,
Norway. The new farm (Figure 5) con-
sists of five 6-MW floating wind turbines
covering about four square kilometers of
water at depths between 95 meters and
129 meters. The farm has a total installed
capacity of 30 MW. According to Statoil,
the wind farm will power approximately
20,000 households.
Each turbine is 253 meters high, 78 me-
ters of which are below the surface. The
turbines have a rotor diameter of 154 me-
ters with blades that are 75 meters long.
Each turbine weighs about 12,000 tonnes
and is secured to the sea floor with 15
suction anchors, each of which is con-
nected to the turbine by 2,400-meter-long
chains.
Statoil partnered with Masdar on the
Hywind Scotland project, investing a com-
bined $2 billion. Hywind Scotland’s price
tag represents a 60% to 70% cost reduc-
tion from the Hywind Demo project.
The Hywind turbines are suitable for
water up to 800 meters deep, opening up
areas previously inaccessible for offshore
wind. Conventional offshore wind turbines
must be embedded in the sea floor, limit-
ing their use to relatively shallow areas
near shore. Areas with a narrow continen-
tal shelf, such as the West Coast of the
U.S., are all but inaccessible to conven-
tional offshore wind.
Advances in floating offshore wind,
therefore, open up new, potentially lucra-
tive markets to the offshore wind industry.
According to Statoil’s floating offshore
wind market outlook, key markets for Hy-
wind technology are in Europe, Japan, and
the U.S. West Coast. The company’s esti-
mates show that the technical potential
for floating wind power is 6,959 GW for
Europe, the U.S., and Japan combined. Of
high potential markets, Statoil believes
Japan can have 3.5 GW installed by 2030,
followed by 2.9 GW in France, 2 GW in the
U.S., and 1.9 GW in Ireland/UK.
The outlook notes that not only would
floating wind introduce a new product in
places like the U.S. and Japan, but that
there is an existing demand just waiting
to be filled. “Here, floating installations

could be a game changer, and the key to
meeting renewables ambitions. For ex-
ample, California has set a target of 50%
renewable energy, while in Japan, the
shift away from nuclear power will drive
the need for new and reliable energy sup-
plies,” the outlook says.
Statoil is already working to develop its
next large-scale project, a full-scale float-
ing wind farm that will likely be located in
Ireland, France, off the U.S. West Coast,
Japan, or possibly Norway.
Statoil predicts that floating offshore
wind, though it is in its infancy, will see
the same significant cost reductions that
onshore and conventional offshore wind
have seen in recent years.

Australia Embraces
Reliability Guarantees
Over Renewable Targets
After months of controversy, Australia’s
federal government in October dumped
its consideration of a clean energy target
(CET) that sought to slash the country’s
electricity emissions of carbon dioxide by
28% in 2030, compared to 2005 levels,
essentially refraining from extending the
nation’s renewable energy target beyond
2020. It turned its focus instead to a “na-
tional energy guarantee,” which imposes
new reliability and emission reduction
guarantees on energy retailers and some
large energy users. 
The about-turn by the government led
by Malcolm Turnbull is widely seen as an
attempt to unify Australia on its messy
energy and climate change politics. Over
the past decade, the federal government
has seriously debated a number of mea-
sures, including the proposed Carbon Pol-
lution Reduction Scheme, the introduction
and repeal of the carbon price, and renew-
able energy targets. State governments,

Bangladesh Announces
LNG Power Plants as Part
of Generation Expansion
The state-owned North-West Power Gener-
ation Co. Ltd. (NWPGCL) in Bangladesh in
14
early November announced plans to build
a 3,600-MW regasification liquefied natu-
ral gas (LNG) combined cycle power plant
in the Patuakhali district, on the heels of
an earlier agreement to construct a simi-
lar 750-to-850-MW plant in Khulna.
The new plants are part of a concerted
effort to increase generation capacity in
a country that traditionally has relied on
gas-fired power. Bangladesh’s ruling par-
ty, the Bangladesh Awami League (BAL),
has said upgrading the country’s energy
curity and lessening the need to import
power from neighboring countries. Of-
ficials are working with many countries,
including Russia, on energy initiatives.
Analysts said the country had 15,821
MW of generation capacity as of Novem-
ber 2017, and the country’s Power Divi-
sion has said capacity must be increased
to 24,000 MW—a 52% jump—by 2021,
according to its most recent Power Sector
Master Plan. Analysts have said electricity
demand in Bangladesh is likely to reach
officials have said Bangladesh expects to
import at least 25% of its electricity from
India for the next few years.
Other large power generation proj-
ects underway in Bangladesh include the
country’s first nuclear facility, a 2,400-
MW plant at Rooppur, and a 1,320-MW
coal-fired facility in Rampal, being built
by India’s NTPC. The nuclear plant, ex-
pected to enter commercial operation in
2023, will utilize two VVER-1200 reactors
(water-water energetic reactors), each
producing the equivalent of 1,200 MW.
State Atomic Energy Corp.
In addition to adding coal, nuclear,
and natural gas-fired generation, the
country’s government also has a goal to
produce at least 10% of its power from
renewable sources by 2020.
Khurshedul Alam, NWPGCL’s manag-
ing director, said his group has signed a
memorandum of understanding with Ger-
many’s Siemens AG to build the Patuakh-
ali facility. He said the site was chosen
because it has a port into which the LNG
can be imported.
October that NWPGCL already had agree-
ments in place “to import around 125
million cubic feet (MMcf) per day equiva-
lent of regasified LNG at [the] Bangla-
desh-India border through an offshore
LNG terminal from India’s West Bengal to
the plant in Khulna.” He said Bangladesh
has “opted to import LNG as the country

cause the current reserves are depleting
very fast.”
The two NWPGCL projects are in addi-
tion to a 500-to-600-MW regasification
LNG combined cycle power plant being
built in Matarbari, in Cox’s Bazar, Chit-
tagong, Bangladesh. That project is a
joint venture of Japan’s MITSUI and the
Coal Power Generation Co. Bangladesh
Ltd.
NWPGCL has three operating power
plants in Bangladesh: a 360-MW dual-
fuel facility in Bheramara that began
operation in September 2017; a 225-MW
natural gas-fired combined cycle plant in
Sirajganj that began commercial opera-
tion with 150 MW of generation capacity
in December 2012, and was upgraded to
225 MW in July 2014; and a natural gas-
fired combined cycle plant in Khulna that
began commercial operation with 150
MW of generation capacity in 2013, and
was upgraded to 225 MW in June 2016.
State-owned Petrobangla, also known
as Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corp.,
in mid-October signed an agreement for
the use of an LNG regasification termi-
nal with a consortium of local Hong Kong
Shanghai Manjala Power Ltd., Malaysia’s
Global LNG, and Petronas LNG Ltd. The
terminal—a floating storage and fixed
jetty based regasification unit (FSRU)—
will be set up by the consortium at Ku-
tubdia Island in Cox’s Bazar.
It is the third LNG floating terminal
planned to supply Bangladesh through
Petrobangla. The first, being built by
Texas-based Excelerate Energy, is a 500
million cubic feet per day FSRU (Figure 7)
that is expected to begin service in April
2018. A second terminal with similar ca-
pacity is being built by Summit Group,
a Bangladesh company headquartered in
Dhaka; it is expected to come online by
year-end 2018. Each terminal will import
LNG from Switzerland, Oman, and Qatar.

Construction Set to Begin on First Nuclear Plant in Turkey.
Berat Albayrak, Turkey’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister,
in mid-October said construction of the country’s first nuclear
power plant would begin by year-end 2017 or early in 2018.
The $20 billion Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, which will have
four VVER-1200 (1,200 MW) reactors, will be built by Rosatom,
Russia’s state atomic energy corporation. The VVER is a water-
water energetic reactor, a series of pressurized water reactors
that was originally developed in the Soviet Union. The current
schedule calls for the plant, in the southern province of Mersin
on the Mediterranean coast, to put its first reactor into operation
by 2023, with the plant fully operational by 2025. The Turkish
Atomic Energy Agency said AEM-technology, the machine engi-
neering division of Rosatom, will manufacture equipment for the
plant, which has been delayed several times since development
of the project began in 2010. A second nuclear project is planned
for Sinop, near the Black Sea in northern Turkey, and will be built
by a French-Japanese consortium of Mitsubishi Heavy Indus-
tries and AREVA. Turkey imports most of its energy, costing the
government about $50 billion annually. Officials have said they
want at least 5% of Turkey’s electricity generation from nuclear
power within 10 years, enabling a reduction in imports of natural
gas, mostly from Russia.
Norwegian Group Inks Deal with Iran for Solar Power.
Norway’s Saga Energy in mid-October said it signed a nearly $3
billion deal with Iran’s state-owned Amin Energy Developers
to build solar power plants in the country, as foreign companies
continue to seek more opportunities in Iran. Companies are more
willing to invest in Iran as international sanctions against the
country have eased after Tehran agreed to limits on its nuclear
program. Saga Energy spokesman Rune Haaland told Reuters the
deal is for construction of 2 GW of solar power generation capac-
ity over a four- to five-year period. Haaland said Saga will receive
financing from banks, pension funds, and Norwegian state export
guarantees, with return on the investment via a 25-year deal
on electricity prices, and economic guarantees from the Iranian
government. Saga, along with SoliTek of Lithuania, will make the
solar panels, and Taiwan’s Delta Electronics will provide other
equipment and services such as installation of the inverters. Saga
executive Gaute Steinkopf said his company also wants to build
a solar panel manufacturing plant in Iran. Saga’s deal comes just
weeks after Norway’s Scatec Solar, which builds and operates
solar plants worldwide, said it was trying to secure financing for
a project in Iran.    UPSTREAM TRIM!
Pilot Project Using Salt for Energy to Be Tested in Berlin.
Swedish innovation company SaltX Technology and Swedish util-
ity Vattenfall in September signed a letter of intent to conduct
a pilot project based on SaltX’s large-scale energy storage tech-
nology, EnerStore. The project at Vattenfall´s combined heat and
power plant in Berlin will test SaltX technology that uses salt
to store energy. “By adding water to the dry salt, calcium oxide,
the salt turns into calcium hydroxide. The water starts a chemical
process, which generates heat, and the temperature will rise to
approximately 120C. If you add hot steam instead of water to the
salt, the steam temperature will rise up to 500C,” said Markus
Witt, project sponsor for Vattenfall’s part of the SaltX project. The
hot steam can be added to the Berlin district heating network
or led through a turbine to generate power, he added. For now,
a prototype reactor will be built and tested next year. The pilot
plant, which will use 1,000 to 3,000 liters of salt, will be tested
in 2019.  www.checkall.com  sales@checkall.com

chemist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777–1851), who discovered that
electric currents create magnetic fields. Dong was an acronym for

features six GE 7HA.01 gas turbines and Toshiba’s steam tur-
bine technology. It features a thermal efficiency of at least 62%.
Chubu embarked on the 40-year-old plant’s refurbishment to sup-
port the government’s initiative for cleaner, more-efficient power
generation. Chubu selected a higher efficiency and more flexible
large block gas turbine that could support multi-shaft (3-on-1)

the long-term relationships between the
company and its CT vendors.
Since completing the parts agreement,
the company team has negotiated long-
term service agreements for the existing
General Electric, Siemens, and Mitsubishi
turbines, and created a new parts ex-
change program with General Electric for
the two newest natural gas-fired units at
Cherokee Generating Station near Denver.
The biggest challenge with the program
is gaining an understanding of the new
process versus the old “way we have al-
ways done it” mentality, and ensuring that
all parties involved in the overhauls are
aware of the agreement details.
Since the implementation of the CT
parts exchange program, Xcel Energy has
successfully standardized the project
scope for inspections and overhauls on its
entire CT fleet, along with improved parts
performance and extended warranties. The
effort allows for extended time between
outages, eliminating the need for an en-
tire set of inspection intervals—saving
more time and money, and improving the
operating availability for the units.
Plans for the future include developing
long-term service agreements for over-
haul labor and inspection services. Those
agreements will promote a further stream-
lining of the overhaul process; a consis-
tent maintenance management procedure
that is easy to forecast, implement, and
manage; and ongoing and significantly re-
duced CT overhaul costs.

12 Tips for Centrifugal
Pump Safety
Centrifugal pumps are one of the most
popular types of pumps used both domes-
tically and in industrial settings. There
are various designs of centrifugal pumps
(Figure 3), and they all work in a similar
manner at high velocity and pressure. To
avoid accidents when using such pumps,
as well as avoid damage to a pump, here
are 12 safety tips that should be followed.
Read and Follow Instruction Manu-
al. Ensure you read the instruction manual
that comes with your pump before you in-
stall, operate, or perform maintenance on
it or its related equipment. Always check
for the recommended specifications for
pump components in the manual before
making adjustments.
For instance, you should check for the
recommended limit for the clearance be-
tween the pump’s impeller and the wear
plate. Going beyond or less than the rec-
18
3. Centrifugal pumps come in
many designs. Centrifugal pumps are of-
ten used in industrial settings, such as in pow-
er plants, factories, water treatment plants,
and other facilities. As shown here, and as
noted in this article, it’s important that a pump
be securely anchored regardless of its size or
location. The pump also should have plenty of
clearance from surrounding equipment. Cour-
tesy: Pixabay/Creative Commons
ommended limit will reduce the pump effi-
ciency and cause the components to wear
out quickly.
Avoid Overheating. When a centrifu-
gal pump overheats, it not only can dam-
age internal components but also could
cause severe burns and injuries to anyone
servicing the pump. It’s important to en-
sure pumps do not overheat; to avoid the
problem, always leave the suction and dis-
charge line open during operations.
However, if overheating occurs, stop
the pump immediately and allow it to
cool to the air temperature. Then vent
the pump at the drain plug, slowly and
cautiously, before restarting. Also, always
allow an overheated pump to cool to air
temperature before removing the cover
plate, gauge port plug, or fill port cap.
Check for and Replace Worn-out
Components. Check for worn-out com-
ponents (Figure 4) and replace them im-
mediately to avoid catastrophic damage to
your centrifugal pump. For instance, when
the bearing is worn out, the pump shaft
begins to wobble, and the pump becomes
noisy and eventually will overheat. You
should also check for worn suction line
fittings and pipe plugs, and ensure there
are no solids such as sand that may cause
scratches and rapid wear of seal faces.
Check for Air Leaks. When worn out,
suction line fittings and pipe plugs begin
to have air leaks, which can cause the
pump to lose its static lift. Make sure the
suction line is airtight by regularly check-
ing for air leaks using a vacuum gauge.
Usually, when a centrifugal pump is
shut down, the vacuum gauge reading
will display the vertical distance from the
www.powermag.com
product level to the gauge tap. However, if
the suction pipe is not airtight, and atmo-
spheric pressure is entering, the vacuum
will fall off after shutting down. The vac-
uum gauge will give erratic or fluctuating
readings, which are an indication that the
suction flap valve, seals, or hose are worn
out and need replacement.
Check for Suction Line Blockage.
Partial blocking of the suction line, which
may lead to a blockage of the suction flow,
can occur when the rubber lining in a suc-
tion hose pulls away from its fabric. This
blockage of flow may cause the centrifugal
pump to develop a high vacuum and a low
discharge pressure.
Check for this suction hose problem
by using a vacuum gauge to take read-
ings during operations. Readings that are
higher than normal are an indication that
the rubber lining has pulled away from the
suction hose, and the hose needs replace-
ment.
Perform Routine Maintenance. Al-
ways carry out routine maintenance to
check the pump’s engine or motor, to en-
sure the engine is getting the power it
needs to operate efficiently and to check
whether it needs tuning or servicing.
Maintenance of the pump’s components,
such as the volute casing, the wear plates,
and impeller vanes, is also important.
A maintenance check (Figure 5) should
be performed at least every six months,
or more often depending on the pump’s
usage. Inspection and cleaning of the
suction strainer should also be done fre-
quently as the accumulation of debris
may cause clogging of the strainer, and
obstruct the flow through the strainer.
Perform a Shut-off Test. This test
is done to inspect the components and
4. Internal parts need to be main-
tained. An internal view of a centrifugal
pump shows many of the components and
parts that need to be maintained. Worn com-
ponents can cause wobble, excessive noise,
and overheating. Worn suction line fittings and
pipe plugs can allow foreign material into the
pump, which could cause wear to seal faces
or other damage. Courtesy: Mahan’s Thermal

6. Location, location, location. A centrifugal pump should
be located as close as possible to the liquid being pumped. In addi-
tion, the pump should have at least three feet of clearance from other
equipment, and it should always be secured to the ground or other
surface to prevent it from moving during operation. Courtesy: Mahan’s

measure the internal wear of the centrifugal pump. To perform
the test, start the pump and allow it to achieve full flow. Then
slowly close the discharge valve and record the discharge and
suction gauge reading. Under normal circumstances, the reading
should be equal to the pump performance maximum pressure
noted at zero flow.
Check Discharge Lines. Always check the operating condi-
tion of your discharge line, as old discharge lines may begin
to rust internally, causing friction losses and reduction in flow.
Therefore, it is important to check all the components in the dis-
charge line, including the valve, check valves, release devices,
and shock control devices, for normal operations.
Be Cautious. Before starting operations, always ensure all the
guards and shields of the pump are in place. When the pump is in
operation, approach it with caution to avoid accidents.
Make the Pump Accessible. Make sure the centrifugal pump
is accessible (Figure 6) by locating it as close as safely possible
5. Inspecting pump components. A maintenance check
should be performed every six months on a centrifugal pump. This can
involve a borescope inspection to check for any internal problems. Main-
tenance of pump components such as the volute casing, wear plates,
and impeller vanes is important to ensure the pump operates reliably
and efficiently. Courtesy: Mahan’s Thermal Products/Shutterstock

to the liquid being pumped. However, do not place the pump
within three feet of other equipment. Ensure the pump is in place
and will not move during operation by adequately securing it to
the ground or other surface.
Use the Pump for Its Designated Use. Do not use a cen-
trifugal pump to pump liquid that it’s not designed to pump. For
instance, do not pump flammable or corrosive liquids, such as
gasoline or acid, with pumps designed for pumping water. Never
operate pumps in flammable or explosive environments, unless
the pump is designed for such service.
Experienced Personnel Only. Only experienced personnel
should be allowed to operate a centrifugal pump and do not re-
move warning tags or labels from the machinery. Also, authorized
personnel should not wear loose clothing around the machinery
and must be provided with appropriate safety gear.
Additional Safety Tips. If the centrifugal pump has an elec-
tric motor or panel, always make sure the pump is locked out
before performing maintenance. If the pump is fuel-driven, do
not overfill the tank or spill fuel when refueling.
If the pump is located underground, make sure there is ad-
equate ventilation, and always follow confined space entry
procedures. When lifting a pump, use only lift equipment with
adequate lifting capacity.
Centrifugal pumps utilize high velocity and pressure during
operation. Therefore, irrespective of the type of centrifugal pump
being used, it is important to observe safety precautions, as well
as maintain pumps to avoid accidents. It is advised to always re-
fer to the owner’s manual for instruction before installing, using,
and maintaining a centrifugal pump. ■

 Renewable Power in
Southeast Asia: Will the
Sean Prior Benjamin Thompson Legal Regime Catch Up
with the Opportunities?
outheast Asia offers rich renewable sector opportunities,
S recently exemplified by Chevron’s multibillion-dollar sale of
its Indonesian and Philippines geothermal projects, and the
purchase of Equis Energy for $5 billion. However, industry players
and their lawyers face several challenges in developing a respon-
sive and bankable legal regime for renewable projects.
Renewable Technologies in the Region
Hydropower and geothermal projects have historically dominated
in Southeast Asia. Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam have
developed a series of bankable Mekong region hydropower proj-
ects, to the point where the multi-country Mekong River Com-
mission was formed to address growing concerns around riparian
usage. Myanmar, with 100 GW of potential hydropower capacity,
is the likely next frontier. Indonesia and the Philippines have
used their abundant (and still mostly under-exploited) geother-
mal reserves to develop major power and steam projects.
Outside these technologies, the region has an increasing inter-
est in intermittent power. The plummeting price of solar panels,
partly driven by Chinese price competition, has led to a greater
appreciation of the solar resource in the region (Thailand being
a key example) and the potential returns to be derived from solar
and wind projects. The other technology of significant interest is
biomass, given the region’s abundant agri-business sector.
Macro Factors Affecting a Renewable-Friendly Legal
Regime
At a high level, a number of factors should support a regional re-
newables drive, including low electrification levels, a growing ap-
preciation of the environmental impact of fossil fuel independent
power producers (IPPs) and the increasing difficulties a number
of banks face in financing them, and a growing recognition of the
depth and breadth of renewable resources in the region.
However, Southeast Asia also has a history of fossil fuel de-
pendence, legal frameworks that cater to these as the primary
fuel source, and a strong (and potentially competing) current
focus on liquefied natural gas-to-power projects. In addition to
these factors, the region faces the twin challenges of price com-
petitiveness and off-taker/country risks.
Price Competitiveness
Southeast Asia needs, above all else, cheap and reliable electric-
ity to bridge the electrification gap. Increased electrification at
an overall cheaper price is a recognised regional vote winner and
provides a powerful structural incentive for conventional IPPs.
Renewable projects are unlikely to benefit from the sort of so-
phisticated price preference or renewable credit mechanisms that
have characterised the European market. Offtakers in Southeast
20 www.powermag.com
Asia have a limited ability to pass on renewable price hikes to
their consumers.
Indonesia provided an interesting example of this in 2017.
Having previously successfully developed large-scale hydro and
geothermal IPPs using conventional legal agreements (such as
geothermal concessions modeled on oil and gas production shar-
ing contracts), Indonesia was also developing smaller renewable
projects through regulated feed-in tariffs. The government then
passed a regulation in early 2017, which essentially capped the
tariff for any renewable project at either 85% or 100% of the
relevant region’s average electricity supply cost. The regulation
has been softened since but still operates to push renewable
projects to more remote areas where they can compete with high-
cost fuel like diesel, and makes them uncompetitive in areas like
Java where they compete with low-cost, abundant coal. This has
chilled renewable investment but makes economic and political
sense for the government. Indonesia is the clearest example, but
this tension generally is a feature of the entire region.
Offtaker and Country Risks
Renewable energy projects (outside of the specific earlier ex-
amples) are more likely to be pioneer projects in Southeast Asia
compared to conventional IPPs, and will have to deal with the
same power sector challenges as their conventional competitors.
The challenges include:
■ Restrictions on foreign ownership of IPPs or supporting ser-
vices.
■ Tariffs denominated in local currency without always having
bankable exchange rate or currency availability protection.
■ Newly formed offtakers (such as Electric Power Generation En-
terprise in Myanmar) or offtakers dependent on government
support (for example, Perusahaan Listrik Negara in Indonesia),
and a reluctance to provide government guarantees.
■ Long lead times and uncertainty associated with land acquisition.
■ Multiple, difficult to predict regulatory changes.
Governments in Southeast Asia clearly want to develop renew-
able projects in principle and understand the wider benefits of
the technologies. However, in certain cases the legal regime, in-
cluding pricing and government support, would need significant
overhaul to properly incentivize a surge in renewable develop-
ment across the board. In the absence of this, the onus will be
on developers, financiers, and their lawyers to maximize realistic
opportunities and seek to develop creative and robust structures
within existing constraints. ■

Nation’s First Offshore Wind
Farm Releases Community from
Decades of Diesel
In the early morning of May 1, 2017, Block Island, Rhode Island, shut off the diesel
generators that had powered the island for nearly a century. The lights on the island
flickered off before turning back on, this time powered by the nation’s first offshore
wind farm, located three miles off the island’s coast.
Abby L. Harvey
T
hree miles off the coast of Rhode Is-
land’s Block Island sit five massive
wind turbines, each towering 560-feet
above the water below, nearly twice the
height of the Statue of Liberty. The wind
farm is small, but as the first offshore wind
farm in the U.S, a notable achievement for
owner Deepwater Wind.
The Haliade wind turbines, supplied by
GE Renewable Energy, combine an existing
turbine design acquired by GE in its 2015
acquisition of Alstom’s power business and
GE’s 6-MW direct-drive generator equipped
with a permanent magnet rotor.
The $290 million 30-MW wind farm can
produce up to 125,000 MWh of electricity
annually, enough to supply about 90% of the
island’s power needs, which were previously
met with costly diesel.
Answering the Community’s Call
Block Island is a small island of less than 10
square miles located 13 miles off the coast
of mainland Rhode Island. The population
of the island is just over 1,000, though dur-
ing the summer months the area is a popular
vacation destination, and the population can
triple at times.
Until May 2017, the island was not con-
nected to the mainland grid. To provide
residents and visitors with power, diesel was
24
shipped from the mainland and burned at a
small, but loud and dirty, generating plant.
The residents of the island had long desired
an alternate form of energy, particularly in
the late 2000s when diesel prices became
unmanageable.
The answer to the community’s calls for
an alternate power generation source was
realized in the proposal of the Block Island
Wind Farm. As part of the project, National
Grid installed a submarine transmission
cable, connecting the island to the main-
land power grid for the first time. The cable,
dubbed the sea2shore project, connects the
wind farm to a substation on the island and
then runs from the island to the mainland.
The island runs off the power from the wind
farm and sends any additional power to the
mainland. Alternatively, if the wind farm
isn’t producing enough power for the island,
it can pull power from the mainland to keep
its lights on.
While the wind farm itself powered up in
December 2016 and started delivering power
to the mainland grid, Block Island didn’t flip
the switch until May. The occasion was cele-
brated by Block Island officials and residents.
“The construction of the Block Island
Offshore Wind Farm and the undersea ca-
bles represent a monumental engineering ef-
fort. On Block Island, where the wind once
www.powermag.com

powered gristmills and filled the sails of the
fishing fleet, electric power will now be gen-
erated with each rotation of the giant turbine
blades. The nature of our energy supply has
taken a giant step forward and in doing so
sets the pace for other offshore wind devel-
opment. It is gratifying to have The Town of
New Shoreham be a part of and benefit from
this endeavor,” Town of New Shoreham First
Warden Ken Lacoste said in a Block Island
Power Co. press release marking the occa-
sion.
According to Deepwater Wind, the plant
will reduce carbon emissions by 40,000 tons
each year. “That’s 800,000 tons over its 20-
year life,” the company’s website says.
Switching from diesel and connecting
to the mainland grid will also drive down
Block Island residents’ power bills. “Whole-
sale energy prices are at historic lows right
now and to have the opportunity to secure
some long-term contracts for our customers
provides price stability and allows customers
to budget month to month, rather than have
their electric bills tied to volatile diesel fuel
prices,” Block Island Power Co. President
Jeffery Wright said in the May 1 release.

perfect illustration of the impact of GE’s
2015 acquisition of Alstom’s power and grid
business. In March 2015, months before the
acquisition was finalized, Deepwater had or-
dered five of Alstom’s massive Haliade tur-
bines. Upon finalization of the acquisition,
GE took over production of the Haliade,
adding its own spin to the proven technol-
ogy.
GE decided to incorporate its 6-MW
gearless direct-drive permanent magnet gen-
erators into the Haliade turbines and protect
them with the company’s Pure Torque design
technology. According to GE, this coupling
allows for the elimination of the gearbox, re-
ducing the number of moving parts and, in
turn, reducing maintenance needs.
“GE’s unique and proven rotor support
with direct-drive [permanent magnet gen-
erator] increases reliability, maximizes tur-
bine availability, and reduces maintenance
costs. The Pure Torque design protects the
generator and improves its performance by
diverting unwanted stresses from the wind
safely to the turbine’s tower through the
main frame,” Markus Rieck, managing di-
rector of Commercial Operation Sales and
Marketing for GE Renewable Energy’s Off-
shore Wind business, explained.
The technology used in the turbines at
Block Island had been validated in earlier
demonstration projects, but the Block Island
Wind Farm is the first commercial applica-
tion of GE’s Pure Torque direct-drive tech-
nology.
The many components of the turbine were
constructed in different parts of Europe. The
turbine blades and tower sections were con-
structed by LM Wind Power in Denmark.
The five nacelles were built in a manufactur-
ing facility in St. Nazaire, France, and trans-

to the U.S. on Norway-based Fred. Olsen
Windcarrier’s Brave Tern, an offshore wind
installation vessel. Once the Brave Tern ar-
rived at Block Island, the vessel’s four legs
were lowered (Figure 1), transforming the
boat into an installation platform.
Once the turbine components made it to
the Block Island site, final construction took
only about a month as the five steel jacket
foundations had been installed during an 18-
week construction period the previous year.
The First of Many?
Though the Block Island Wind Farm is the
nation’s first offshore installation, it may
be the first of many. “The potential of off-
shore wind as a renewable energy resource
in the United States is enormous. A robust
and sustainable U.S. offshore wind industry
could decrease [greenhouse gas] emissions,
diversify the nation’s energy portfolio,
generate affordable power for homes and
businesses, and revitalize key economic
sectors,” according to the National Offshore
Wind Strategy, developed by the U.S. De-
partments of Energy (DOE) and the Interior
(DOI).
The report finds that “a technical poten-
tial of 2,058 [GW] of offshore wind resource
capacity are accessible in U.S. waters using
existing technology. This is equivalent to an
energy output of 7,200 terawatt-hours per
year—enough to provide nearly double the
total electric generation of the United States
in 2015.”
Not only is there clear technical potential
for offshore wind in the U.S., there is also
growing demand. As coastal states retire
traditional power plants, alternatives will
be needed. It’s also worth noting that nearly

Saved Block Island 1 million tons
of annual diesel fuel usage and

80% of the nation’s electricity demand is lo-
cated in these coastal states.
Of course, as with any emerging market,
there are hurdles for U.S. offshore wind to
overcome. “For example, the costs of off-
shore wind need to fall substantially, and
the supply chain needs to be developed. The
regulatory process for offshore wind could
be further optimized, and data gaps asso-
ciated with environmental impacts need to
be addressed. The unique set of costs and
benefits associated with offshore wind en-
ergy needs to be better quantified and com-
municated to policymakers and stakeholders
to allow for their full consideration in deci-
sions about offshore wind projects and poli-
cies,” the national strategy says.
Luckily, progress is already being made
to address these challenges. Offshore wind
costs are falling globally, and according
to the national strategy, it is likely that the
European Union will meet its goal of a lev-
elized cost of energy of €100/MWh (ap-
proximately $112/MWh) by 2020.
“We are optimistic about the future of the
offshore wind market in the U.S.,” Rieck
said. “We think the key for continued mo-
mentum is for policymakers to create the
scale and visibility needed to maximize the
economic development benefits that can be
delivered by offshore wind.”
Further, the U.S. currently has a number
of offshore wind projects under develop-
ment. According to DOE, as of August 9,
2017, there are 28 projects, totaling 23,735

Anesco Celebrates
Subsidy-Free Solar
The 45-acre Clayhill solar farm and energy storage facility near Flitwick in Bedford-
shire, UK, does not appear particularly impressive upon first glance, but a little
digging will reveal what makes this solar farm remarkable—it is the UK’s first solar
farm built without government subsidies.
Abby L. Harvey
O
n September 26, 2017, UK Climate
Change Minister Claire Perry marched
across a slightly muddy field to a 10-
MW solar farm built by British renewable en-
ergy developer Anesco. The high-profile visit
included a tour of the solar farm (Figure 1),
which includes some interesting design ele-
ments, but the true pull for Perry was not what
was included in the plant, it was what was not
included—government subsidies.
As the UK government signals a desire to
end subsidies for solar power, the industry is
in a scary place. The training wheels are off.
However, with the opening of the Clayhill
Solar Farm, the industry can breathe a little
easier knowing that it can be done.
“We are really starting to deliver now what
we really wanted, which is a low-carbon
economy that is not about hunkering down
and low growth and a sort of dark future,”
Perry said at Clayhill. “It’s about green
growth and new opportunities, new technolo-
gies, new job creation, and a really hopeful
future. It’s happening right here in this slight-
ly clay field of Bedfordshire.”
According to Anesco, the solar farm will
generate enough electricity for about 2,500
homes and save 4,452 tonnes of carbon. The
project also includes five battery storage
units, which will help provide grid-balancing
26
services to National Grid.
Cost-Saving Design
Anesco in part attributes its ability to build a
subsidy-free solar farm to the use of 135 Hua-
wei 1,500-V string inverters. In the plant’s
second notable “first,” these inverters have
never been previously installed in Europe.
“By finding a way to build a 1,500-V string
inverter system, Anesco has been able to build
solar without subsidy and this design is a ma-
jor step change for the industry,” according to
a company factsheet on the project.
Using more powerful inverters allowed the
developers to use longer panel arrays, which
in turn resulted in a 35% cost reduction when
compared with a standard solar park, Anesco
said. According to the company the invert-
ers significantly improve power yields with
a high EU efficiency of 98.8%, as well as a
low failure rate.
“For the solar industry, Clayhill is a land-
mark development and paves the way for a
sustainable future, where subsidies are no
longer needed or relied upon. Importantly,
it proves that the Government’s decision to
withdraw subsidies doesn’t have to signal the
end of solar as a commercially viable tech-
nology,” Steve Shine, Anesco’s executive
chairman, said in a press release.

The solar farm consists of 31,240 solar
panels—supplied by BYD—installed on
15,620 meters of frames. The project was in-
stalled in 12 weeks and includes five energy
storage units totaling 6 MW. The batteries
were also supplied by BYD and Hill & Smith
Solar supplied the PV mounting frames.
“You may not know the amount of supply
chain engineering that has gone into this pro-
duction thanks to Steve and his team really
sitting down with the supply chain and say-
ing, ‘How do we build this? How do we make
this better? … How do we actually organize
this to use the highest capacity inverters in
this system so we can actually measure and
monitor very effectively?’ ” Perry said. “It’s
that level of ingenuity and creativity that I
also wanted to celebrate today.”
It is also worth noting that the Clayhill So-
lar Farm is located next to an existing solar
project, which means that much of the neces-
sary infrastructure was already in place, fur-
ther cutting costs.
The inclusion of batteries was also crucial
to ensuring that the project could be complet-
ed without subsidy. Through a program with
National Grid, Anesco will be paid to help
ensure the stability of the grid.
“Battery technology also has an important
role to play in making renewable energy a

viable part of the UK’s energy network by
ensuring energy can be captured and stored
for use when needed,” the UK Department
for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
(BEIS) has noted.
Solar Subsidies in the UK
The writing has been on the wall for some
time that solar subsidies are coming to an end
in the UK, and that message is only getting
clearer. The nation’s recently released Clean
Growth Strategy states: “We want to see more
people investing in solar without government
support and are currently considering options
for our approach to small scale low carbon
generation beyond 2019, and will provide an
update later this year.”
The document also notes that photovoltaic
modules are almost 80% cheaper now than in
2010, suggesting that the industry is ready to
stand on its own. The Clean Growth Strategy
particularly calls out Clayhill for its status as
the first subsidy-free solar farm, proposing
that the Clayhill model could be replicated
by future projects.
“Co-locating storage at new renewable
sites, combined with significant reductions in
generation and storage technology costs, may
allow more subsidy free sites to be built—
providing services that help to maintain the
reliability of the grid and clean electricity at
low cost,” the document says.
Indeed, according to BEIS, the govern-
ment expects more solar developers to follow
in the footsteps of Anesco and its Clayhill
Solar Farm. ■

China’s Renewables Strategy
Shines in Massive Solar Park
The Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, part of a hydro-solar integration in the high des-
ert on the Tibetan Plateau, has helped the country move toward its ambitious tar-
gets for increasing generation from cleaner fuel sources and reducing its reliance
on coal-fired power.
Darrell Proctor
R enewable energy is big business
in China. A country that for more
than a decade has led the world
in greenhouse gas emissions, where coal-
fired power has long dominated the energy
mix, has today embraced renewables in a
big way.
The country leads the world in invest-
ments in clean energy, already reaching its
2020 goal of producing 110 GW of solar
power; it also wants to generate at least
210 GW of wind power by 2020, and the
International Energy Agency (IEA) has
said it’s likely to hit that target in 2019.
China has pledged to get at least 20% of
its electricity from non-fossil fuel sources
by 2030.
In January of this year, as part of the
country’s latest five-year plan for energy
development, China’s National Energy
Administration (NEA) said it would spend
more than $360 billion on renewable en-
ergy projects through year-end 2020, with
a plan to create more than 13 million jobs
in the sector. It’s a major philosophical
change for the country of nearly 1.4 billion
people, where just a few years ago devel-
opment of renewable energy was consid-
ered too costly to pursue.
That changed as Chinese manufacturers

began to dominate solar panel manufactur-
ing. According to the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado,
and San Francisco, California-based SPV
Market Research, six of the top 10 global
solar panel manufacturers in 2017 are lo-
cated in China. The IEA says 60% of the
world’s solar panels are now manufactured
in China. That has allowed the Chinese
government to reduce project costs for
solar developers—by some estimates as
much as a 40%—and is a big reason IEA
says three of the world’s five largest solar
farms are in China, as of October 2017.
That includes the massive 850-MW
Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, part of the
Longyangxia Hybrid Hydro-Solar Proj-
ect in Qinghai Province that includes the
1,280-MW Longyangxia Dam on the Yel-
low River. Construction of the solar park
began in 2013; today, it features more than
4 million solar panels, spread across more
than 10 square miles of high desert on the
Tibetan Plateau in eastern China (Figure
1). It has been built at a cost of 6 billion
yuan ($911 million), with a continual ex-
pansion over the past few years that, at
least for a brief period, made it the world’s
largest solar farm, according to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA).
www.powermag.com
Solar Development Part of
Keeping Promises
The Longyangxia project has been devel-
oped by Huanghe Hydropower Develop-
ment Co. (HHDC), whose chairman, Xie
Xiaoping, is a staunch advocate of renew-
able energy. “The development of clean
energy is very important if we are to keep
the promises made in the Paris [climate]
agreement,” Xiaoping told Britain’s The
Guardian newspaper earlier this year. “The
Chinese government will carry out and ful-
fill its international commitments.”
In that same interview Xiaoping took on
U.S. President Donald Trump, who famously
said on Twitter that “The concept of global
warming was created by and for the Chinese
in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-
competitive.” Xiaoping told the newspaper:
“I don’t care what Mr. Trump says … I think
what he says is nonsense.”
Xiaoping leads a company that also has
solar and hydro projects in development in
Africa, with plans for a global expansion of
its business. HHDC subsidiary SPIC Solar
Power supplied the solar technology for the
Longyangxia project, among many others in
China, and HHDC earlier this year signed
an agreement with DuPont to establish a
joint lab to develop advanced photovol-

taic (PV) technology. Xiaoping at the time
said DuPont’s experience in PV technology
research and development would enable
HHDC to install another 20 GW of solar
power by 2025, as the company seeks to
have the world’s largest capacity of solar
generation.
The first phase of the Longyangxia solar
park was completed in 2013, with generation
capacity of 320 MW. Operation of the now
530-MW second phase began in 2015. The
solar park is considered the fifth, sixth, and
seventh units by extension of the 1,280-MW
Longyangxia hydropower plant, which has
four 320-MW units.
According to HHDC, the solar park is
connected to the hydropower plant by a
one-circuit 330-kV line that stretches for 33
miles. The solar park is coupled to one of the
hydro plant’s quick-response turbines, which
smooths the output curve of the PV power
caused by fluctuations in sunlight due to
cloud cover and time of day. Balancing the
variable generation is key to enabling reliable
power transmission to the grid via the hydro-
power plant.
“The combination of a major hydroelec-
tric dam and a solar project enables the solar
power production to overcome its inherent
challenges of being a variable resource,
by being integrated with a dispatchable re-
source,” Philip Mihlmester, executive vice
president of Global Energy for ICF, a global
consulting company based in Fairfax, Virgin-
ia, told POWER. “This can be seen as part of
a global trend toward creativity in integrating
higher volumes of variable [solar and wind]
renewables onto grids. Hybrid power projects
like Longyangxia are one option.”
The solar park also has served to increase
the operational efficiency of the hydroelectric

plant. Because of its desert location, the dam
has been judicious with its water releases;
with the solar power generation online, the
hydropower station has increased its annual
capacity utilization.
According to information from an HHDC
report, “By mixing water energy and solar
energy and relying on the quick regulation
capability of [the] water turbine generator set
and regulation capability of the reservoir of
hydropower plant, the active power output
of PV is adjusted and the hydropower-solar
power mix power generation is performed,
to achieve a smooth and stable PV curve, ef-
fectively compensate for the deficiency of an
independent PV power plant, improve the se-
curity and stability of the power system, and
make the PV power generation become the
high-quality power energy that is comparable
to the hydropower.”
World Leader in Solar Generation
China’s solar success is remarkable, particu-
larly for a country long known for its reli-
ance on coal-fired power generation. With
this year’s additions, China—which had 77.4
GW of solar capacity at the end of 2016, ac-
cording to its NEA—will have about three
times as much solar generation capacity as
the U.S., which had about 40 GW of genera-
tion capacity in 2016, according to the EIA.
“China’s massive new solar deploy-
ment this year has cemented its status as
the world’s leading nation [in solar genera-
tion],” Amit Ronen, director of the GW Solar
Institute at George Washington University
in Washington, D.C., told POWER. “In the
first half of 2017, China installed almost 25
gigawatts of solar capacity, more than all of
Europe combined, and that number is likely
to reach 45 gigawatts by year’s end, which
is as much as all of [European] solar leader
Germany’s current capacity.
“Several factors came together that
caused the central government authorities
to radically pivot China’s energy future,
including the untenable smog situation in
China’s largest cities, the ability of renew-
ables to quickly meet China’s voracious ap-
petite for new electricity supplies, and the
recognition that solar in particular could be
a major new source of manufacturing jobs,”
said Ronen, who saw first-hand the scope of
China’s solar industry as he toured the coun-
try in the past year.
However, China’s 110-GW goal by 2020
was actually 27% below an earlier target, ac-
cording to Bloomberg. The country has had
problems adapting some new projects into
the country’s power grid, leading to slower
expansion that expected.

The solar park has helped China

has not kept pace with soaring capacity and
markets do not always accurately price the
value of solar power,” said Ronen.
“The hydropower surplus and transmis-
sion difficulty problem has existed for a
long time [in China],” Wenxue Li, president
of LONGi Solar, told POWER. Li said his
company is among those, including HHDC,
thinking critically about the layout of en-
ergy projects and how to adapt hybrid solar/
hydro projects such as Longyangxia to the
grid. Projects such as Longyangxia, with the
“practice of producing clean energy [solar]
with clean energy [hydropower] not only
establishes a model for China’s PV indus-
try, but also provides a new way of thinking
about the energy transformation in China.”
Even with the solar expansions such as
Longyangxia, solar power still accounts
for only about 1% of China’s electricity,
according to China Energy Portal, which
says about 65% of the country’s power in
2016 came from coal-fired power plants,
with about 19% from hydropower, 4% from
wind, and 3% from nuclear.
“A more robust and smarter grid is certain-
ly a key investment needed to integrate more
solar into the electricity grid,” said Ronen.
The Longyangxia park’s status as the
world’s largest solar farm has been brief;
the 1-GW Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park
in Andhra Pradesh, India, already is be-
ing commissioned. And it too will soon
be knocked from the top spot, as a 2-GW
project in China’s Ningxia region is being

Sarulla, One of the World’s
Largest Geothermal Power
Projects, Comes Alive with
Private Finance
The 330-MW Sarulla Geothermal Power Plant in Indonesia took decades to develop.

government, the $1.6 billion project may be on track to achieve payback within nine

ndonesia, the vast Southeast Asian archi-
pelago of more than 17,500 islands that
straddle the equator, has become an estab-
lished and crucial player in the world’s en-
ergy markets. Although endowed with some
of the world’s largest reserves of fossil fuels,
the country with the world’s fourth-largest
population direly lacks sufficient power sup-
plies needed to boost a surging economy, a
feat that is compounded by its geographic
complexity.  boost its geothermal capacity from the cur-
While per capita power consumption
has risen rapidly in recent years, so has the
electrification ratio, boosted by the coun-
try’s determination to meet an electrification
target of 99.7% by 2025. In late 2014, the
government also launched an ambitious tar-
get to build 35 GW of new capacity by 2019,
but experts contend numerous challenges
may prevent the nation from meeting it,
the most glaring of which concern manage-
ment of new-build development, uncertain-
ties related to cost-reflective tariffs, and its
already strained existing infrastructure. (For
an in-depth look at the country’s challenges,
see: “Indonesia: Energy Rich and Electric-
ity Poor” in POWER’s July 2013 issue and
online at powermag.com.)
At the same time, an energy security cri-
sis looms in Indonesia’s near future, owing
to the ongoing depletion of its abundant re-
30
serves of oil, natural gas, and coal. That’s
one reason the government has shifted its
emphasis to renewables, which could offer
twin benefits of low costs and environmen-
tal mitigation. The government has called
for hydropower, geothermal, biomass, solar,
wind, and ocean power to make up 23% of
its energy mix by 2025, more than doubling
its current share of 10%.  nesian state-owned oil and gas firm PET-
Since 2004, it has worked specifically to
rent 1.6 GW to 7.2 GW by 2025, allocating
trillions of Indonesian rupiahs in subsidies
to support risk mitigation for geothermal
exploration drilling and building capac-
ity. For the government, the investment in
geothermal is sound because the country
harbors a geothermal potential of about 27
GW—roughly 40% of the world’s known
reserves—and it is one of the best options
to provide a baseload response to the fast-
growing energy demand.
The country’s geothermal power experi-
ence got its start in 1983, and capacity has
been added via expansions at most of its
existing plants, which were built before
2000.  Yet in terms of new greenfield de-
velopments—which tend to carry greater
risks—only the three-unit Sarulla geothermal
project has achieved financial closure over
the last decade.  nesia, the country’s largest private compre-

A Long Haul
But Sarulla’s development hasn’t been
easy, and it has taken decades to achieve.
Exploration at the Sarulla geothermal field
in Tapanuli Utara District, North Sumatra
province—a site about 350 kilometers to the
south of Medan, the country’s fourth-largest
city—began in 1987, spearheaded by Indo-
RAMINA. The company identified several
high-temperature prospects in the greater Sa-
rulla area, within a tectonic graben associated
with strands of the Great Sumatra Fault Zone.
Between 1994 and 1998—when the Asian
financial crisis stalled development—Unocal
(now a Chevron subsidiary) drilled a total of
13 deep exploration wells into three pros-
pects, one at the Silangkitang (SIL) field and
two at the Namora-I-Langit (NIL) field. The
discovery amounted to about 330 MW. All
wells reportedly produced fluids with tem-
peratures of more than 260C and up to 276C. 
In 2004, after the government passed a
law promoting private sector participation
in the geothermal sector, state-owned power
company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN)
opened an independent power producers bid-
ding process. A consortium comprising Japa-
nese firm ITOCHU Corp., U.S.-based Ormat

After long negotiations with the govern-
ment concerning tariffs, guarantees, and
other support, the Sarulla project develop-
ers eventually gained rights to use the geo-
thermal field from PETRAMINA in April
2013, and nearly immediately, the group also
signed a 30-year power purchase agreement
with PLN. Then, in March 2014, project de-
velopers concluded financing agreements
with a syndicate composed of the Japanese
Bank for International Cooperation, Asian
Development Bank, and six multinational
commercial lenders.
According to Ormat, the financing pack-
age—reached only after the financing
syndicate and project sponsors agreed on
numerous risk mitigation measures—was de-
signed to provide up to approximately $1.2
billion in loans to finance approximately $1.6
billion of the project costs over the develop-
ment phase.  tems. Hyundai Engineering and Construction
Customizing the Technology
Construction kicked off in earnest in May
2014, and this March, SIL, the first 110-MW
unit of the power plant, commenced com-
mercial operation (Figure 1). It is “perform-
ing well,” Ormat said. Successful testing was

While each site is characterized by a
unique composition of steam, brine, and
gases, the units use a combination of Ormat-
developed technologies, which were chosen
after a comprehensive study that took into
consideration the thermodynamic efficien-
cy, the geothermal fluid characteristics, and
environmental aspects. The configuration
essentially combines single flash and bi-
nary organic rankine cycle technologies in

geothermal combined cycle units (GCCU).
GCCU “represents an excellent solution for

Ormat said.  in the field development phase.
Sarulla is Indonesia’s first plant to use
IGCC, though the technology is well-es-
tablished at other high-enthalpy geothermal
fields around the world. One notable aspect is
that it separates brine, producing more power
from the same amount of fluid extracted from
the reservoir than conventional flash plants.
Each of the Sarulla systems consist of a back-
pressure steam turbine and bottoming Ormat
Energy Convertors (OECs), which are heated
by the low-pressure steam exiting the top-
ping steam turbine. The steam exits the steam
turbine and enters the OEC vaporizer at just

cash flow projections (at a capacity factor
of 90%) are positive, owing to fair, even if

ning, with a host of engineering
challenges related to design, construction,
and installation. Builders must account for
natural features such as thrust faults and
weathered bedrock; environmental concerns
from runoff during construction; and the po-
tential for flooding during high-water events.
Now imagine that, times four. That’s what
American Municipal Power (AMP) did when
it decided to add green energy, in this case
hydroelectricity, to its portfolio to serve
members across nine states. AMP contracted
with MWH—now part of Stantec—to design
and build four hydropower projects along the
Ohio River, adjacent to U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers locks and dams.
Capturing the power of the river was para-
mount; the design would need to maximize
the low-head green energy potential at each
site. The work also could not disrupt traffic
on the river, which is second only to the Mis-
sissippi River in terms of commercial use in
the U.S.
Building the Willow Island Hydroelectric
Facility near St. Marys, West Virginia, was
particularly challenging, as its design would
differ from the other three plants due to its
location on the river. It would have a smaller
footprint, with space limited by an adjacent
34
railroad. Construction trailers and large
equipment had to be located off-site.
Ohio-based The Ruhlin Company was the
lead contractor of the project. Excavation and
cofferdam construction began in June 2011.
Construction of the powerhouse got underway
in December 2012. When Willow Island en-
tered full commercial operation in February
2016, it was the culmination of a process that
involved 485 workers at its peak, from sev-
eral different companies with a wide range of
tasks. Today the 44-MW plant provides clean
renewable energy, and by providing grid sta-
bility also enables further development of in-
termittent renewable sources such as wind and
solar to be built in the region.
A Two-Turbine Design
Willow Island was built concurrently with
three other AMP hydroelectric plants on the
Ohio River. But Willow Island has a major
difference: it has two bulb turbines (Figure 1)
while the other plants— Cannelton (88 MW)
near Hawesville, Kentucky; Meldahl (105
MW) near Maysville, Kentucky; and Smith-
land (76 MW) near Smithland, Kentucky—
each have three.
Stephen Panozzo, Stantec’s project man-
ager for Willow Island, told POWER that’s
because “Willow Island is located upstream
of the other three projects, and thus has

somewhat smaller river flows because it has
a smaller watershed. As you move farther
downstream, there is additional runoff that
contributes to the flow already in the river, so
there is more flow available the farther down-
stream you go.”
Power generated at Willow Island moves
through a 1.6-mile transmission line that
connects with an existing transmission line
in West Virginia, according to AMP.
Panozzo highlighted “a desire to keep the
turbine-generators essentially the same size at
the four projects due to economies through de-
sign, fabrication, and ultimately operation and
maintenance through sharing of spare parts
and the like.” He noted that AMP wanted “to
take advantage of the flow range available at
each of the sites using the desired machines,
and through an engineering study it was de-
termined that two was the optimum number of
turbine-generator units at Willow Island.”
The plant’s turbines and generators were
designed and built by York, Pennsylvania-
based Voith Hydro. Panozzo said the “tur-
bines have a guaranteed maximum output of
21.8 MW at a rated net head of 16 feet at a
synchronous speed of 58.06 rpm,” and noted
the guaranteed output at the best efficiency
point is 12.6 MW.

able runner blades and wicket gates,” he said.
“Each turbine has three runner blades and 16
wicket gates, with a runner diameter of 7.7
meters, or about 25 feet. The generators have
a nominal capacity of 23.72 MVA at a nomi-
nal voltage of 6.9 kV at 0.90 power factor. The
rotor is a disk type with 124 poles and field
windings mounted on the cylinder. Stator and
field winding insulation systems are Class F
materials, but operated at Class B tempera-
tures to obtain longer life. The generator is
provided with pneumatically actuated brakes
and a brake dust collection system to mini-
mize accumulation of brake dust in the bulb.”
Construction Challenges
Construction at Willow Island had plenty
of challenges beyond the need to locate the
construction trailers and store equipment off-
site. Panozzo noted that having four projects
underway concurrently “put a strain on the
manufacturing and construction expertise,”
though there was an advantage, as it “allowed
the transfer of knowledge and skills to the
next generation.” There also was the matter
of competing for construction workers with
other local industries, including oil and gas
operations.
New York-based engineering firm Mueser
Rutledge Consulting Engineers (MRCE) led
a team that included Geocomp, a Massachu-
setts geostructural design and monitoring
services company, in designing the coffer-
dam, a cellular structure consisting of 16,
63-foot-diameter and 67-foot-tall cells. The
cofferdam was a watertight enclosure that en-
abled construction work to take place below
waterline. MRCE designed high-capacity

rock anchors to stabilize the 60-foot-deep
rock cut for construction of the plant.
Construction of the cofferdam—and its
removal—was just one of the particular chal-
lenges of building on a river. Said Panozzo:
“The river level at Willow Island Dam is
somewhat unpredictable, rising and falling
with little warning. This proved challenging
after the cofferdam was removed, although
the powerhouse is designed to be overtopped
during floods. During the final construction
stage, the powerhouse hatches remained
open to allow access to the turbine/genera-
tor equipment. Several times it was necessary
for the contractor to demobilize its equip-
ment from the powerhouse and install the
roof hatches, sometimes with no more than
a day’s notice.”
Pleasants County, in which St. Marys is
located, is known for its rocks and sandstone
boulders, as well as the steep terrain along
the riverbank. In fact, in an area known as
Raven Rock, before locks and dams were
built on the river, riverboats often had to wait
in the area when water levels were too low to
navigate. Inscriptions, apparently written by
river travelers waiting for the water to rise,
dot many of the rocks along the bank.
“During rock excavation, a thrust fault was
exposed along the riverside face of the pow-
erhouse excavation,” Panozzo said, which
meant rock bolts needed to be installed, and
also called for the use of shotcrete. He said it
was originally proposed that rock excavation
for the foundation of the powerhouse, along
with parts of the approach and tailrace channel
extending into bedrock, would be done with
conventional drilling and blasting. But after

asphalt grinder was used to excavate or trim
vertical and horizontal rock surfaces to final
line and grade where the dozers were not able
to rip rock surfaces within the required toler-
ances.” Large bulldozers eventually removed
about 410,000 cubic yards of rock.
Community Benefits
Panozzo said the Willow Island project pro-
vides power to 79 AMP-member communities.
Its baseload generation ensures grid stability,
allowing for more renewable energy sources
such as wind and solar to be built in the region
and connected to the grid. Panozzo said the
clean energy plant offsets about 146,000 tons
of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
And there are benefits beyond providing
electricity. The project also is responsible for
the addition of an access road, fishing piers,
a picnic shelter, public toilets, concrete walk-
ways, and parking lots as part of a 14-acre
recreation area. And it should be supplying
hydropower for years to come.
“This plant was designed with the next
generation in mind,” Panozzo told POWER.
“With routine maintenance it will run for at
least 60 to 70 years, resulting in clean, reli-
able energy for our grandchildren.” ■

Reducing Nuclear Plant
Operations and Maintenance
Costs Through Online Monitoring
The Electric Power Research Institute’s full spectrum of online monitoring-relat-
ed research offers nuclear power plant operators guidance for monitoring
program implementation. The research results are used to inform mainte-
nance tasks and ultimately automate the plant to optimize performance.
Ken Canavan
T
he Electric Power Research Institute
(EPRI) continues to increase its online
monitoring and automation research
and development (R&D) portfolio for nu-
clear plants with a goal to reduce operations
and maintenance (O&M) costs. With four
technical reports already published and many
more in the works, EPRI’s efforts span a full
spectrum of online monitoring (OLM) and
automation-related topics.
“We have several years of experience re-
searching OLM systems used in the fossil
power generation industry,” said Christopher
Kerr, principal technical leader at EPRI.
“Based on the success of monitoring and di-
agnostic centers at fossil plants, we started
looking at how to effectively translate, and
improve, this technology for the nuclear
power industry.”
A gap analysis comparing the current state
to the desired state of OLM implementation
at nuclear facilities revealed significant sav-
ings across a variety of areas, including pre-
ventive maintenance costs.
“A major change in our R&D is to focus
more on using OLM to reduce O&M costs,
specifically eliminating manual preventive
maintenance tasks,” Kerr added.
Guidance for the Implementation
of an OLM Program
While a few nuclear operators have already
implemented OLM programs, others have
been more hesitant. To help, EPRI’s Online
Monitoring Guide for Equipment Diagnos-
tics and Reliability-Nuclear Generation
(3002010577) details the systematic devel-
opment and implementation of an effective
plant-monitoring program. Published in May
2017, the report covers how to define the
monitoring program’s goals, project scope,
implementation plans, and more.
“To make sure the process is scalable, we
considered different business cases in the re-
36
port—because a model that might work for a
fleet of plants won’t necessarily translate to a
smaller scale single nuclear unit at a compa-
ny that also has fossil assets,” Kerr explained.
Concurrently, EPRI published Develop-
ing a Technical Basis for Using On-Line
Equipment Condition Monitoring to Reduce
Time-Based Preventive and Predictive Main-
tenance (3002010579). This report identifies
plant equipment to be monitored based on
historical preventive maintenance costs, and
determines the parameters to be monitored
based on equipment failure mechanisms.
“For instance, instead of performing time-
based maintenance, you can monitor the vi-
bration of a pump to warn of bearing failure
before it occurs,” Kerr said.
This evaluation can significantly cut O&M
costs by providing support for extending or
eliminating preventive maintenance tasks,
while at the same time improving reliability.
“Nuclear plants have excellent equip-
ment reliability with very few failures, and
we want to improve that while cutting costs,”
Kerr noted.
Obtaining the Data: Getting the
Right Sensors in the Right Place
To effectively monitor equipment health,
the right sensors need to be installed in the
right locations. Because installation of stan-
dard wired sensors can be very expensive in
a nuclear power plant, EPRI is supporting the
increased use of wireless sensors (Figure 1).
According to Stephen Lopez, senior techni-
cal leader at EPRI, a utility that recently decid-
ed to add a wired vibration monitoring system
discovered that the cost would be about 10
times that of a similar job at a fossil plant.
“While the work isn’t physically much
different, the modification process is consid-
erably more demanding in the nuclear indus-
try,” Lopez explained. “That means one of
the biggest benefits we can provide for the

cally attached vibration sensor, shown here,

cable or making intrusive modifications. Cour-
tesy: Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)
industry is guidance on the effective use of
wireless sensor and networking technology.”
This research will help operators acquire and
effectively operate monitoring sensors inside
nuclear power plants.
EPRI’s Sensor Survey and General Speci-
fication (due to be released in the first quarter
2018) contains an assortment of useful infor-
mation to help nuclear utilities identify sensor
requirements, and obtain and implement these
systems in a variety of monitoring applications.
An electromagnetic compatibility evalu-
ation was also performed to assess wireless
sensor implementation and evaluate a sam-
ple set of sensors against the existing indus-
try electromagnetic compatibility guidance.
EPRI’s research incorporates findings into a
general specification that provides a starting
point for a successful system implementation.
Transporting Data Via Distributed
Antenna Systems (DAS)
Wireless sensors need a reliable method to
transport data. Many nuclear plants have Wi-
Fi available, but the remote location of some
equipment and structural components of a

plant can make it difficult to get radio fre-
quency (RF) signals where they are needed.
These issues led EPRI to take an in-depth look
at a distributed antenna system (DAS) to ef-
fectively support the industry’s current and
future technology needs.
Published in March 2017, EPRI’s Use of
LTE Cellular Network and Distributed Antenna
Systems to Improve Connectivity and Increase
Data Transfer: A Plant Monitoring Initiative
(3002009128) discusses how a DAS can be a
credible wireless data transmission option in-
side the power block (Figure 2). DAS technol-
ogy can be coupled with antennas and “leaky
cable” radiating cables with a proven record
in other industries. The report includes lessons
learned from two pilot demonstrations con-
ducted on units at a retired nuclear power plant.
DAS flexibility allows two-way radios,
cellular devices (including tablets), wireless
sensors, and other wireless devices to operate
from one platform, potentially saving plants
millions of dollars. Because a DAS is both
frequency and wireless protocol agnostic, a
modular design allows for a platform that can
grow with future needs with minimum hard-
ware enhancements.
“Most people associate DAS with cellu-
lar phones, but this is only one piece of the
puzzle,” said Nick Camilli, senior technical
leader at EPRI. “A DAS can support licensed
and unlicensed frequency spectrum, which is
a game changer for the industry.”
Initial tests conducted on retired units show
promise for addressing coverage challenges.
DAS testing performed at both 730 MHz and
2.13 GHz showed that the lower frequency pro-
vided about 80% coverage at the target threshold
of –95 decibel-milliwatt (dBm) or higher—
about twice the coverage of the higher frequency.
Several utilities are installing DAS now for
plant monitoring and automation products. To
make this process even more efficient, EPRI
is developing a nuclear plant common design
package for installing such a system. This
common design package will be completed in
early 2018.

port design must address related cybersecurity
concerns. EPRI’s November 2016 Cyber Se-
curity: Isolation for Maintenance, Monitor-
ing, and Diagnostic Applications in Nuclear
Power Facilities (3002008206) report pres-
ents several segregation and segmentation
concepts and techniques that can be used by
site and fleet cybersecurity, engineering, and
information technology support personnel to
avoid unnecessary cybersecurity burden.
Using the Data: Improved
Diagnostics and Prognostics with
Analytics
The final piece of the OLM puzzle—and
probably the most talked about—is how to
harness the potential of data analytics to lower
O&M costs. Several teams at EPRI have been
working to develop and assess data analytics
tools that can accurately diagnose plant per-
formance across a spectrum of performance
areas, including passive and safety-related
equipment, to support effective decision mak-
ing by plant staff.
“EPRI is making a significant commitment
to promote research and develop tools related
to data analytics,” said Rob Austin, instrumen-
tation and control (I&C) senior program man-
ager at EPRI.
The nuclear industry has been successfully
using advanced pattern recognition systems
for a while to look for trends or deviations
from normal equipment performance and pro-
vide associated alerts to the engineering staff
monitoring the system data (Figure 3). Ac-
cording to Austin, EPRI wants to take these
early warning systems to the next level by pro-
viding improved parameter-based diagnostics
and prognostics capability. Multiple vendors
are producing data analytics tools based on
similar concepts.
“If vibration goes up on a pump, we need
software that can note whether the tempera-
ture went up on a bearing as well,” Austin ex-
plained. “Did it uncover flow variations in the
system? Can it identify a bearing that might be
starting to wear and predict when it should be
replaced? These are the kinds of questions that
our smart systems should be able to answer
to provide engineers with a bigger picture that

supports condition-based maintenance and re-
duces the chances of catastrophic equipment
failure in the plant.”
EPRI’s I&C lab is conducting performance
testing of several data analytics tools, using
actual plant information data including equip-
ment failures.
“We are developing evaluation techniques
to determine which data analytics tools are the
best for our purposes,” said Austin.
Taking Advantage of Interfacing
Projects
Throughout EPRI, teams are working together
to share information on a variety of related
OLM projects, including:
■ Smart ChemWorks. Sophisticated “fin-
gerprint” pattern matching and statistical
methods are being used for real-time chem-
istry monitoring and advice.
■ Remote Radiation Monitoring. The use of
radiation remote monitoring technologies
is being evaluated to replace certain routine
surveys and entries in radiation-controlled
areas.
■ Passive Components Condition-Based Mon-
itoring. EPRI’s Non-Destructive Evaluation
group is working with the Idaho National
Laboratory to research the monitoring of
passive components for degradation.
■ Generation Sector I4Gen Strategic Area
and Suite of Projects. The I4Gen concept,
with an overarching theme to develop In-
sight through the Integration of Informa-
tion to enable Intelligent Generation, is an
all-encompassing vision for transforming
how technology, data, and information are
used in power plants and the industry. Proj-
ect results and research will have direct ap-
plicability and learnings that can be applied
within the nuclear sector.
■ Power Distribution & Utilization (PDU)
Sector’s Sensor and Data Analytics.
Switchyard equipment such as large power
transformers, high-voltage circuit break-
ers, and insulators are similar components
in a transmission substation or a nuclear
plant. That’s why EPRI’s nuclear sector is
working closely with EPRI’s PDU team as
they continue to expand the use of wireless
sensors and data analytics tools on power
transmission and distribution assets.
“Online monitoring has the potential to
provide huge cost-saving opportunities for
nuclear power plant operators,” said Austin.
“At EPRI, we can leverage extensive research
and successes across the power generation in-
dustry to help bring timely OLM solutions to
the nuclear industry.” ■

Solar Power’s Golden Opportunity:

The solar industry has the opportunity to integrate intelligent technology, in-

sources, into its solar systems. Most parts of a solar farm are already

lization of that data to build predictive capabilities remains largely un-

SunLink to minimize impact, Maulick explained.
Similarly, SunLink’s torque tube is connected to technology that
reads the situation around it and tells the tube to either stiffen or weak-

While other tracking systems need to be designed to hold very heavy
snow loads, SunLink’s software will register the snow load and direct
the torque tube to go limp, dumping the load. “It’s almost intuitively
obvious, but to an industry that’s doing things the same way that they
always did them, they don’t think of that,” Maulick said.
By designing its torque tube to react to the environment, SunLink
was able to cut costs for the component significantly. Because the
tube is designed to drop loads before they get too heavy, they do not
need to be designed to support as much weight as a basic torque tube,
and they can be made with less steel.

GE announced in mid-September that its digital twin technology is
going to be deployed at a 20-MW solar farm being built by Invenergy.
“We see this like a morning newspaper,” Matt Perkins, chief digital
officer of GE Power Conversion, said. “Plant managers can open it
up in the morning and see the issues that they will need to deal with
during the day. They can monitor existing problems and optimize the
selection of staff members who are qualified to fix them.”
The Invenergy plant will be equipped with GE inverters with sen-
sors that monitor 200 different pieces of data. The sensors monitor
things like component temperature and voltage. The data is updated
every 500 microseconds to a data-collection device that feeds it into
the cloud. The data is then gathered by the digital twin platform,
which cleans and analyzes it.
GE’s technology has been deployed at smaller solar plants, and
similar technology has been deployed at some of Invenergy’s gas and
wind plants.

Cost-Cutting Dynamic Design

SunLink took a different approach to integrating intelligent technol-
ogy into its products, focusing on how it could improve the solar in-
dustry by refining a single component.
One of the main concerns SunLink was looking to address was
cost. “Not everyone’s going to appreciate all the capabilities that you
need, but what do they really value? Right now, everything is about
cost,” SunLink CEO Michael Maulick told POWER.
SunLink developed a new type of torque tube for its tracking sys-

tion. The torque tube works similarly to an advanced vehicle shock

Increase the IQ of Your

Power plants have been blowing soot using essentially the same method for
decades. However, technological advances now offer boiler operators
a much-improved technique. Rather than running sootblowing systems

Detection System—removes guesswork by pinpointing exactly when and
where sootblowing is required.

exactly when service is required. Why
not let your power plant boiler do the same?
With the help of today’s technology, soot-
blower operations can be managed with real-
time data rather than relying on presumptive
common operating practices.
While supplying approximately 30% of
the total electricity generation in the U.S.
during 2016, coal-fired plants accounted
for about 68% of carbon dioxide emissions.
At the same time, coal plants ranked among
the most costly to build and maintain. Con-
sequently, coal-fired plants are under close
scrutiny and constant pressure to reduce
emissions, increase output, and operate
more efficiently, while lowering capital
costs. Needless to say, efficiently running
plant equipment plays a significant role
in reaching these and other goals. And for
coal-fired plants this means keeping boilers
in top condition and operating at full capac-
ity.

your car, you’re not just cleaning the dirty
parts, right? In a boiler, the problem is ero-
sion. While blasting boiler tubes with steam
does remove soot, it also accelerates erosion,
which results in leaks. Excluding, or lightly
treating, areas with little or no buildup can
extend boiler tube life significantly.
Some problems with traditional sootblow-
ing methods include:
■ Delegating sootblowing to individual
operator judgment leads to inconsistent
cleaning patterns and requires continuous
operator intervention.
■ Waiting for a boiler to show signs of a
problem can take the boiler offline for an
extended period of time.
■ Treating the entire boiler exposes clean
tubes to unneeded treatment, which leads
to erosion, which leads to leaks, which
leads to shutdowns and extensive mainte-
nance.
Operating essentially blind, boiler opera-
tors face a Catch-22 challenge of adequately
cleaning without over-cleaning. Recognizing
the importance of a clean boiler, many coal-
fired power plants have consequently resort-
ed to a regular complete scrub of boiler tubes
whether needed or not. When considering
the impact that prolonged boiler downtime
associated with a thorough cleaning has on
production and profitability there is hope for
a better way.

sootblowing is required. Furthermore, this
technology can determine the extent of foul-
ing. Armed with such information, sootblow-
ing operations can thoroughly clean areas
where fouling is especially heavy, touch on
tubes that require just a quick cleaning, and
avoid areas requiring no attention.
www.powermag.com
CONNECTED PLANT
One such solution for optimizing boiler-
cleaning operations has been developed by
Milford, Ohio-based Integrated Test and
Measurement (ITM). The technology, known
as the Sootblower Fouling Detection System
(SFD System), was originally created to di-
rect sootblowing operations in the pulp and
paper industry. Pulp and paper recovery boil-
ers burn black liquor, producing a very high
concentration of ash. The technology has a
track record of success and is now making its
way into power generation.
As it measures fouling along the path of a
sootblower, the system has two primary pur-
poses:
■ To help understand where fouling is oc-
curring in order to optimize sootblowing.
■ To provide real-time data for control sys-
tems, allowing targeted cleaning.
“The results are immediate savings in
steam consumption, prevention of tube ero-
sion in areas with little to no buildup, and
increased boiler efficiency in areas with sig-
nificant buildup,” explained ITM President
Tim Carlier. “The system continually moni-
tors buildup levels within the boiler in real
time, alerting operators when cleaning is
required.
“As the sootblower lance enters the boiler,
instrumentation on the sootblower delivers
feedback to pinpoint where and how much
buildup is present. An increase in the am-
plitude of the sensor indicates buildup, and
a consistently low-amplitude response indi-
cates areas where no buildup is found. This
allows sootblowing to be applied only to ar-
eas in need of cleaning.”
The SFD System interfaces directly with
the plant’s distributed control system and is
installed without the need to take the boiler
out of service. While the sootblower is in op-
eration, sensors continually monitor fouling
conditions. As soot builds, the sensors com-
municate the extent and location of buildup
back to the host system. Advanced software
41
 CONNECTED PLANT
algorithms within the SFD System analyze
the data and alert plant personnel when and
where soot buildup is reaching significant
levels.
The removal of sootblowing guesswork will
generate a quick return on investment.
Savings are further accelerated through
steam savings; elimination of outages;
improved heat rate; cleaner, more-efficient
burning; and more.
Head to Head: SFD Versus
Traditional Methods
It is worthwhile reviewing how boilers with
and without the SFD System respond to ar-
eas of low and high buildup along the path of
specific lances.
Little to No Buildup. A traditional, un-
managed sootblowing system continues to
operate at the same rate, no matter what the
level of buildup. However, the system em-
ploying SFD technology confirms that there
is no significant buildup along the path of
this specific sootblower. At this point, this
crucial information informs automated con-
trols (or plant operators) to decrease the rate
of sootblowing. In the end, the system results
in immediate savings with less steam usage,
and minimizes long-term tube erosion by not
subjecting clean tubes to unnecessary soot-
blowing.
Significant Buildup. In a scenario where
fouling is significant, without the visibility
provided by the SFD System, it is unlikely
that the traditional “blind” sootblowing pro-
cess will run the lance often enough—or in
the needed locations—to effectively clean
the fouled tubes. Without SFD, operators
have no way of knowing that an area has a
higher degree of buildup, robbing the plant
of steam-generating efficiency. Conversely,
the SFD System detects the buildup, and
immediately adjusts the rate of cleaning
through control logic or via manual input by
the operator. Going a step further, if the con-
trol system is in place, the sootblower lance
can target specific fouling locations and
focus on cleaning those sections appropri-
ately. These improvements directly result in
an increase in efficiency of the superheated
steam generation process, providing more
power for the entire facility.
SFD Benefits
On its own, the removal of sootblowing
guesswork will generate a quick return on

from the SFD System in approximately six

Another benefit is the ability to monitor
the condition of the sootblower system itself.
This data can provide immediate feedback
and answer such questions as:
■ What’s the condition of the sootblower
motor and gearbox?
■ Is the poppet valve (Figure 3) stuck open
or leaking?
■ Is the track damaged?
■ Is the sootblower lance bent?
■ Is the sootblower stuck in the boiler?
■ Has sootblower packing deteriorated?
■ Are there steam leaks on or near the soot-
blower?
Additionally, poor boiler performance
isn’t always linked to the collection of soot.
SFD visibility can immediately eliminate
fouling as a suspect, allowing maintenance
to concentrate on other areas, so time isn’t
wasted on unneeded sootblowing when
problems lie elsewhere.
Leveraging Technology
Traditional sootblowing operations are rid-
dled with inconsistencies: under-cleaning,
over-cleaning, needless cleaning, wasted
steam, and expensive downtime. Like other

CONNECTED PLANT
industries, coal-fired power plants would
benefit by embracing the latest technology.
Driven by tools like the SFD Sys-
tem, smart sootblowing provides the in-
formation and visibility to remove the
guesswork, allowing a more precise and
complete attack on fouling. The results are
an increase in a plant’s overall efficiency of
the boiler’s superheated steam generation
process, while mitigating the risks of tube
erosion and plugging the boiler.
Furthermore, ITM is offering power
plants an opportunity to test the SFD Sys-
tem on a trial basis. The company will in-
stall a temporary system, allowing power
plants to essentially benchmark SFD
against traditional sootblowing operations.
“We want to get this technology into the
hands of the power generation industry and
allow the technology to prove itself,” said
Carlier. “We’re confident that once power
stations experience its ease of use and
benefits the Sootblower Fouling Detection
System will become a standard piece of
equipment.” ■

Improve Power Plant Heat
Rate with a Pulverizer
Performance Program
Associated Electric Cooperative has spent a decade building a pulverizer per-
formance program for its Thomas Hill Energy Center. The effort, combined
with a sharp focus on maintaining proper air/fuel ratios, fuel fineness, and
fuel balance, has significantly reduced Unit 3’s heat rate and resulted in
fuel cost savings of more than $1 million annually.

was formed in 1961 to supply whole-
sale power and provide support services for
six generation and transmission coopera-
tives. One of the power plants Associated re-
lies upon to meet wholesale power demand
is the Thomas Hill Energy Center located in
north-central Missouri near Clifton Hill.
Thomas Hill (Figure 1) consists of three
units. Units 1 and 2 are Babcock and Wilcox
(B&W) cyclone boilers, and Unit 3 is a B&W
pulverized coal-fired boiler. The 670-MW Unit
3 was designed with seven MPS-89 pulveriz-
ers that have historically prepared the fuel very
well for combustion. The unit has 49 B&W
low-NOX burners through which prepared
Powder River Basin (PRB) coal is combusted.
Improving Heat Rate
Associated has always focused on maintain-
ing good performance, reliability, and heat
rate as part of its annual key performance indi-
cator goals. In recent years, Thomas Hill Unit
3 has been able to operate with an average
heat rate that is about 7% lower than the U.S.
average. The outstanding performance is the
result of paying close attention to major heat
rate factors, such as pulverizer performance,
air heater performance, steam temperatures,
spray flows, condenser performance, and cy-
cle isolation, among other things.
The plant has spent a decade building its
pulverizer performance program. The results
have been substantial, with a significantly re-
duced heat rate saving more than $1 million
in fuel costs annually. Associated engineers
accomplished the improvement by evaluat-
ing the compounding effects of air/fuel ratios,
fineness, coal pipe balancing, carbon in ash
levels, and other heat rate losses associated
with combustion. Accurate and precise con-

Changing Cross-Border Permitting a Challenge
Congress has been interested in making
legal changes to the process of approving
North American cross-border permits for
energy infrastructure but so far has failed
to put anything into law. The action has
been in the House, with the Senate show-
ing no particular interest in the issue. The
topic became politically important during
debate about the Keystone XL pipeline,
which would bring Canadian crude oil into
the U.S. Former President Barack Obama
rejected the pipeline, but President Trump
moved quickly to approve it.
The most recent House bill was H.R.
2883. Known as the “Promoting Cross-
Border Energy Infrastructure Act,” it was
co-sponsored by Reps. Markwayne Mullin,
an Oklahoma Republican, and Gene Green,
a Texas Democrat, in June. Mullin said
that his bill “simplifies the construction
and operation of energy facilities that
cross international borders. It restructures
the process so that cross-border pipelines
can deliver lower costs to consumers and
create additional jobs in the energy field,
rather than these energy projects being
politicized or hung up in regulatory un-
certainty.”
The bill made it through the House’s
the Hudson River, and underneath railroad
and highway rights of way to New York
City. It has a presidential permit and hopes
to be in service in 2021.
■ Great Northern Power Line, being devel-
oped by Minnesota Power, would move
hydropower from Manitoba to Minnesota
over a 220-mile, 500-kV line to a new
substation in the state. It has a DOE presi-
dential permit and is scheduled to be in
service in 2020.
U.S. natural gas exports to Mexico—
driven by low-cost U.S. shale gas and rising
demand for electricity south of the border—
are an unexpected outcome of the shale rev-
olution. The CRS report says, “The United
States has become Mexico’s largest foreign
supplier of natural gas, and Mexico’s de-
mand for imports continues to grow. Mexico
imported a total of 1,307 billion cubic feet of
natural gas in 2015, of which 85% came from
the United States.”

Republicans and 17 Democrats supported
the measure. Senate Republican leader-
ship has shown no interest in the measure,
reportedly waiting to see the outcome of
North American Free Trade Agreement re-
negotiations.
In 2013, the House passed H.R. 3301,
the “North American Energy Infrastructure
Act,” sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton, a
Michigan Republican who was chairman of
the powerful House Energy and Commerce
Committee at the time. The bill emerged
as a direct result of the Keystone XL con-
troversy. It passed by a 238-173 vote,
with 17 Democrats in the majority and
one Republican opposed.
President Obama threatened a veto,
saying the measure “would impose an un-
reasonable deadline that would curtail the
thorough consideration of the issues in-
volved, which could result in serious secu-
rity, safety, foreign policy, environmental,
economic, and other ramifications.” The
bill never came up in the Senate, probably
because the Republican leadership knew
they could not override a veto.
can trilateral trade in energy will continue
to grow, there is anxiety that political issues
could have a negative impact, primarily U.S.
President Donald Trump’s threat (Figure 3)
to blow up the 1993 North American Free
Trade Agreement unless Canada and Mexico
agree to major changes that are favorable
to the U.S. The CRS report, looking at the
continental trade in gas, notes, “Because the
United States has free trade agreements with
both Canada and Mexico, both countries also
have preferential treatment for U.S. gas ex-
ports under provisions of the Natural Gas
Act. Under these provisions, exports of natu-
ral gas to countries with which the United
States has a free trade agreement are deemed
to be in the public interest; the Department
of Energy must permit the export of the com-
modity without delay.”
An article in The Economist this summer
reported that a panel of experts told a con-
gressional committee “that the United States,
Mexico and Canada are on track to achieve
North American energy independence by
2020 … Cheap, abundant energy will boost
the region’s industrial competitiveness; it

President Donald Trump promised to build a

will also reduce its dependence on less stable
producers such as Venezuela and the Persian
Gulf States.” Some in Congress, Republi-
cans and Democrats, have been pushing for
liberalized North American energy trade for
several years with little success (see sidebar).
But the attitude of the Trump administra-
tion is worrisome, as The Economist article
observes: “The process under way to renego-
tiate NAFTA could jeopardize energy coop-
eration if Mr. Trump pulls America out of the
treaty, as he has threatened to do.” In Octo-
ber, a fourth round of talks among the U.S.,
50
Canada, and Mexico about changes to NAF-
TA was taking place in Arlington, Virginia.
At the same time, the Trump administration
was proposing heavy tariffs on imports of
Canadian softwood timber and mid-sized
passenger aircraft, angering Canada.
As the latest round of the renegotiations
began, The New York Times commented,
“The North American Free Trade Agreement,
long a punching bag for President Trump, is
edging closer to collapse as negotiators gath-
er for more talks.”
But the NAFTA talks could also offer an
opportunity to strengthen cross-border trade
on the continent. Christopher Wilson, an ex-
pert on U.S.-Mexican energy trade, recently
wrote in Forbes: “To further reduce the ‘bor-
der costs’ associated with trade in the region,
officials from the three countries should use
the NAFTA update to encourage much-need-
ed investment in border crossings and other
transportation infrastructure to better connect
our economies. They should recapitalize and
expand the mandate for the North Ameri-
can Development Bank so that it has the re-
sources and ability to finance and coordinate
cross-border infrastructure projects. Negotia-
“NAFTA has played a critical role in North
American energy security by facilitating
cross-border trade and investment in en-
ergy, supporting millions of U.S. jobs in the
oil and natural gas industry. We encour-
age the administration and Congress to
keep this in mind as they consider possible
changes to the agreement.”
—Jack Gerard, head of the American Petroleum Institute
tors could also commit to the development of
a North American transportation plan to en-
sure that new highways built in one country
do not simply lead to new bottlenecks across
the border.”
On the other hand, Trump—during the
2016 campaign and again recently—made
clear he wants far greater bottlenecks on the
long U.S.-Mexico border, including an im-
penetrable wall (Figure 4).
In a presentation last summer, Gary
Hufbauer and Euijin Jung of the Peterson In-
www.powermag.com
stitute for International Economics in Wash-
ington laid out what a revised NAFTA should
do for North American energy trade—and
what could go wrong. “The new NAFTA
should strengthen the legal basis for deeper
energy integration in North America.” To that
end, “The new NAFTA should seek full liber-
alization of trade and investment in Canada,
Mexico and the United States even for sen-
sitive energy issues ([such as] renewables).”
But Hufbauer and Jung noted it could go
badly for cross-border trade. If the U.S. were
to insist on “buy American” and “hire Ameri-
can” for future pipeline and infrastructure
construction, which are currently prevented
by NAFTA, that “could provoke retaliation
by Canada and Mexico.” Negotiators also
“could face challenges in liberalizing the
renewable energy sector owing to U.S and
Canadian government subsidies and differ-
ing standards.” And if Trump keeps pushing
for Mexico to pay for his border wall and in-
creases deportations, “Mexican nationalism
could hinder energy reforms.”
At a conference organized by the Center
for Strategic and International Studies in
Washington last summer, Jack Gerard, head
of the American Petroleum Institute, said
“NAFTA has played a critical role in North
American energy security by facilitating
cross-border trade and investment in energy,
supporting millions of U.S. jobs in the oil
and natural gas industry. We encourage the
administration and Congress to keep this in
mind as they consider possible changes to the
agreement.” ■

Originally embedded in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, today the Operation and Maintenance
of Nuclear Power Plants standard for inservice testing of pumps, valves,
and certain dynamic restraints (snubbers) stands on its own. Among oth-
er things, the inservice testing program detects and monitors valve safety

ASME provides specific operations and

vice and inservice inspections and testing
for many of the components used in existing
and new nuclear reactor designs. Between
the 1960s and 1980s, many of the inservice

the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section XI, which primarily dealt with stan-

Inservice Testing
The purpose of IST is to detect and monitor
for degradation in components designated as
ASME Class 1, 2, or 3 systems and compo-
nents. Class 1 (Quality Group A) includes
systems and components containing reactor

sure boundary. Items such as reactor safety
valves, reactor coolant pressure boundary
isolation valves, and power-operated relief
block valves fit into the Class 1 category.
Class 2 (Quality Group B) items are non-
Quality-Group-A systems and components
important to safety, such as emergency core
cooling, reactor shutdown, and residual heat
removal systems. Class 3 (Quality Group C)
systems and components are important to
safety, but not designated Class 1 or 2. Some
examples include diesel generator support
systems, and service water and component
cooling water pumps.
IST provides reasonable assurance that
safety-related components will perform their
safety function when activated. The process
enables utilities to systematically identify
problems and take action to repair or re-
place safety-related components, if they are
degraded. IST is not intended to determine
component operability. Rather, Technical
Specification (TS) surveillance testing is in-
tended to verify that components and systems
are operable and have been since the last TS
test. IST is intended to provide confidence
that the component will remain operable un-
til the next TS test.
Code Structure
The OM Code is split into three divisions.
Division 1, “OM Code: Section IST,” which
is the focus of this article, is divided into six
subsections. The subsections are:
■ Subsection ISTA, “General Require-
ments”
■ Subsection ISTB, “Inservice Testing of
Pumps in Light-Water Reactor Power

Federal Register Rulemaking
The ASME Codes are voluntary consensus
standards developed by participants, which
include the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
www.powermag.com
NUCLEAR
(NRC) and licensees. If the NRC believes
there is a significant technical or regulatory
concern that can be addressed by an approved
ASME Code edition or addenda, instead of
developing its own standard, the NRC will
approve or condition (determine the extent of
compliance) the ASME Code edition or ad-
denda “by reference.”
Parts of the standard that are not adopted
or conditionally acceptable must be justi-
fied. This coincides with the NRC’s policy to
maintain nuclear plant safety, while making
NRC activities effective and efficient.
The NRC’s conditions are included in
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
Part 50.55a (10 CFR 50.55a) “Codes and
standards.” Upon incorporation by reference
of the ASME Code into 50.55a, the provi-
sions are legally binding NRC requirements
(Figure 2).
Effective August 17, 2017, the NRC
amended its regulations to incorporate by
reference the 2009 Edition, the 2011 Adden-
da, and the 2012 Edition of Division 1 of the
ASME OM Code, with conditions on their
use; the 1983 Edition through the 1994 Edi-
tion, the 2008 Edition, and the 2009–1a Ad-
denda to the 2008 Edition of ASME NQA-1
Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear
Facility Applications, with conditions on
their use; and OM Code Case OMN-20, “In-
service Test Frequency.”
Code Cases (CCs) clarify the intent of the
existing ASME Code, or provide alternative
requirements, and are intended to be incor-
porated into the Code at a later date. A CC
can be endorsed by the NRC in Regulatory
Guide (RG) 1.192, “Operation and Mainte-
nance Code Case Acceptability, ASME OM
Code” with or without conditions (such as
relief requests). Alternatively, the NRC may
disapprove CCs in RG 1.193, “ASME Code
Cases Not Approved for Use.”
In the case of CC OMN-20, it incorporates
the use of “grace periods” into the OM Code.
The CC allows a ±25% window for up to a
two-year test frequency and ±6 months for
test frequencies greater than 2 years. It is im-
portant to note that the CC has not yet been
approved in RG 1.192, and the licensee shall
not incorporate the grace period into the nor-
mal testing schedule.
In July 2006, the ASME Code Committee
approved eliminating CC expiration dates.
Any published CC that has not been an-
nulled, and that has an expiration date that is
after July 2006, is not expired and may con-
tinue to be used.

Division 1, Mandatory Appendix III,
inspectors that work on-site at every nuclear power plant in the U.S. It also conducts various
inspections to verify that safety requirements are being met. In this photo, NRC Engineering “Preservice and Inservice Testing of Ac-

contains requirements for providing a more
comprehensive testing method for MOVs
than that provided by Subsection ISTC. It
is required that the Mandatory Appendix be
followed in its entirety to ensure compliance
with the ASME OM Code for testing MOVs.
The general and specific requirements for
testing and acceptance criteria are provided
in the appendix, as well as frequencies and
the determination of the testing frequencies,
using risk-informed methods. The benefit
of implementing Appendix III is that it pro-
vides detailed knowledge of the MOV and
actuator condition by using diagnostic test-
ing methods, preventive maintenance ac-
tivities, and continued good performance, to
extend the examination/testing intervals to a
significant periodicity.

■ Fuse—10
■ Limit switch rotor—10
■ Coils—10
■ Wiring—8
■ Electrical termination (lug/connector)—8
■ Disc—7
■ Switch—7
■ Gears—7

There are minimal requirements listed in

desired fluid control function, such as isola-
tion or throttling, and an actuator, an elec-
trical-mechanical device used to position
the valve assembly from a remote location
(Figure 3).
The piping systems in a typical nuclear
plant include hundreds of MOVs, with many
of them being safety-related, that is, the
safety of the plant depends on the valve’s
ability to operate under severe conditions
anticipated during plant design. Safety-
related valves are required to prevent cata-
strophic releases.
One of the major changes to the tradi-
tional ISTC testing for MOVs is the use of
risk insights and diagnostic testing to extend
or eliminate the requirements for OM Code
valve position indication verification and
stroke time requirements. In many cases,
this provides a significant reduction in bur-
den based on the known condition of the
MOV and actuator, rather than just a stroke
the OM Code regarding testing and examina-
tion, and the licensee is provided with some
flexibility in the determination of the exam
and testing requirements needed to assure
MOV operational readiness.
Inservice Testing. IST shall commence
when the MOV is required to fulfill its re-
quired function and shall be conducted in
the as-found condition to assess changes
in MOV functional margin, that is, the in-
crement by which an MOV’s available ca-
pability exceeds the capability required to
operate the MOV under design basis condi-
tions. As-found testing is not required prior
to maintenance activities if the MOV is not
due for an IST. If maintenance activities

are scheduled concurrently with an MOV’s
IST, then the IST shall be conducted in the
as-found condition, and prior to the mainte-
nance activity.
Static Versus Dynamic. The IST pro-
gram includes a mix of static and dynamic
MOV performance testing, and may be al-
tered when justified by an engineering evalu-
ation of test data. However, dynamic MOV
performance testing is not required for cer-
tain valve types (such as ball, plug, and dia-
When an MOV or its control system is

maintenance that could affect the valve’s
performance, new IST values shall be
determined, or the previously established
IST values shall be confirmed, before the
MOV is returned to service.
phragm valves), with acceptable operating
experience.
Test Interval. The IST interval, in ac-
cordance with Appendix III, includes cal-
culations for determining MOV functional
margins that account for potential perfor-
mance-related degradation. Although main-
tenance activities can affect IST intervals, it
shall be set so the MOV functional margin
does not decrease below the acceptance cri-
teria. If insufficient data exist to determine
the IST interval according to Appendix III,
then MOV IST shall be conducted every two
refueling cycles or three years, whichever is
longer, until sufficient data exist, from an
applicable MOV or MOV group, to justify a
longer IST interval. Also, the maximum IST
interval shall not exceed 10 years.
Normal Exercising Requirements.
All MOVs within the scope of Appendix III
shall be full-cycle exercised at least once per
refueling cycle (maximum of 24 months).
Full-cycle operation as a result of normal
plant operations or other code requirements
may be considered an exercise of the MOV,
if documented. Also, if full-stroke exercis-
ing of an MOV is not practical during plant
operation or cold shutdown, it shall be per-
formed during the plant’s refueling outage.
Additional or more frequent exercising
requirements for MOVs shall be considered
in any of the following categories:
|
December 2017 POWER
■ MOVs with high-risk significance.
■ MOVs with adverse or harsh environmen-
tal conditions.
■ MOVs with abnormal characteristics, such
as operational, design, or maintenance
condition.
Replacement, Repair, or Maintenance.
When an MOV or its control system is re-
placed, repaired, or undergoes maintenance
that could affect the valve’s performance,
new IST values shall be determined, or the
previously established IST values shall be
confirmed, before the MOV is returned to
service. If the MOV was not removed from
service, IST values shall be immediately
determined or confirmed. This testing is
intended to demonstrate that performance
parameters, which could be affected by re-
placement, repair, or maintenance, are within
acceptable limits. Deviations between the
previous and new IST values shall be identi-
fied and analyzed. Verification that the new
values represent acceptable operation shall
be documented according to Section III-
9000, “Records and Reports.”
Grouping. This reduces the cost and
burden associated with testing and exami-
nation requirements specified in Subsection
ISTC. Grouping MOVs shall be justified by
an engineering evaluation, alternative test-
ing techniques, or both. For example, MOVs
with identical or similar motor operators
and valves, and with similar plant service
conditions, may be grouped together based
on design basis verification and preservice
test results.
Acceptance Criteria. The operational
readiness of each MOV within the scope of
Appendix III shall be based upon the mini-
mum amount the available actuator output
capability must exceed the valve operating
requirements. For instance, thrust, torque,
www.powermag.com
NUCLEAR
or other measured engineering parameters
correlated to thrust or torque may be used
to establish the acceptance criteria. If the
functional margin determined per Appendix
III does not meet the acceptance criteria, the
MOV shall be declared inoperable.
MOV Code Cases. The applicable MOV
CCs are OMN-1, “Alternative Rules for
Preservice and Inservice Testing of Active
Electric Motor-Operated Valve Assemblies
in Light-Water Reactor Power Plants,” and
OMN-11, “Risk Informed Testing for Motor
Operated Valves.”
The Path Forward
Several activities are underway, or being
evaluated for development, including chang-
es to existing ASME OM Codes. Examples
include the addition of Mandatory Appen-
dix IV for air-operated valves, similar to the
ISTC’s Mandatory Appendix III for MOVs;
additional appendices to address other types
of power-operated valves; and expansion of
the OM Code beyond light-water reactors in
order to address new and advanced reactor
designs either being built or proposed for de-
sign development, such as passive reactors,
heavy water reactors, small modular reactors,
liquid metal reactors, and high-temperature
gas-cooled reactors.
Regarding post-2000 reactors, one of the
major differences between Subsection ISTF
and Subsection ISTB is that workarounds
provided in ISTB are no longer permitted
for new reactor builds. For example, the li-
censee is required to test pumps at full-flow
condition in accordance with the pump/sys-
tem design to satisfy the ASME OM Code
criteria. ISTF also eliminated the pump test-
ing allowances for “minimum recirculation
flow” testing.
The ASME OM Code must stay ahead of
the development and design of these new
types of reactors to ensure that the testing
methods, requirements, and periodicity of
tests/exams are all considered in providing a
thorough, cost-effective method for detect-
ing and monitoring OM Code component
degradation. ■

bomachinery, pump, oil and gas, petro-
chemical, power, aerospace, chemical,
and water industries through both its
technical program and its exhibit hall,
where 360 companies exhibited their
products and services in 2016. This
year’s event, held December 12–14 at
the George R. Brown Convention Cen-
ter in Houston, Texas, promises to be
the perfect forum for exchanging ideas
and forging new relationships. TPS is
organized by the Turbomachinery Labo-
ratory, part of Texas A&M University.

Applications  lubrication and greasing assistant. Algo-
Northern Pump manufactures high-pres-
sure, heavy-duty, positive-displacement,
rotary gear pumps for industry, designed
to perform in severe applications. Among
those applications are for seal oil, lube
oil, fuel oil, hydraulic oil, coating, and
many others. Northern’s performance
criteria include flows from cc/rev to 300
gpm, viscosities from 0.5 to 1,500,000
cps, discharge pressures to 2,000 psi,
and temperatures to 850F. Northern’s
unique design contains no castings,
but all machined components allow the
company to be very adaptable to custom
configurations and material selections.
Northern pumps are available in both
horizontal and vertical configurations,
and the company offers tailor-made,
custom pumps. The company’s 4000
series pumps can handle both high and
low viscosities, corrosive and abrasive
liquids, and operate at a variety of flow
rates and speeds. Its 4900 series (Figure
1) is a hydraulically balanced pump; it can
provide a boost for systems that have
become inadequate due to increased
line pressures. Northern pumps provide

a constant, smooth, and non-pulsating
flow, eliminating the need for pulsation
dampeners. Booth 1116 — Northern

Ultrasound Testing and
Machinery Lubrication as
Part of an Asset Condition
Management Program
Keeping machinery in top running condi-
tion requires more than just spit and
polish. LUDECA provides predictive
and proactive maintenance solutions,
including laser alignment, ultrasound
testing, vibration analysis, and balancing
equipment, along with related software,
rentals, services, and training. LUDECA
believes that ultrasound testing and
machinery lubrication are key to a suc-
cessful asset condition management
program, because the benefits of reli-
ability and the cost savings from smooth
operation can be substantial.  LUDECA’s
LUBExpert, powered by SDT, combines
SDT’s measurement capabilities and
user interface to create an onboard
rithms guide lube-techs before, during,
and after re-greasing (Figure 3), which
results in optimal lubrication parameters
on all assets. LUBExpert monitors each
stroke of grease and its effect on bearing
friction and temperature, and before and
after bearing conditions receive a “good,”
“bad,” or “suspect” status report. LUB-
Expert includes software—the ULTRA-
NALYSIS SUITE (UAS)—that powers its
Figure 3
data management aspects. With UAS,
users can design specific lubrication
routes and set maintenance intervals
based on either calendar or condition.
It ensures the use of the right lubricant,
in the right location, at the right time, in
the right quantity, and provides the right

Efficient Control of
Compressors and Pumps
Industry always is looking for opera-
tional eficiency. Controlling the speed
of machinery is important in that regard;
Voith’s solution is the VECO-Drive (Figure
6), which steps up input speed and
generates a high output speed for com-
pressors and pumps. The VECO-Drive
is installed between a constant-speed
motor and a variable-speed compressor
or pump. It combines the reliability of
mechanical gears with the productivity of
low-voltage VFDs. Since additional power
is supplied to the drive train, a smaller
main motor can be used, which saves
on capital expenditures. Servo motors
can be used as starters to protect the
electric grid from high inrush currents,
and the electrical superimposing gear is
an eficient way to make speed variable.
Voith’s engineers designed the system
for compressor and pump applications
with a maximum output speed of 15,000
rpm, maximum output power of 15 MW,
and a speed adjustment range from 50%
to 100%. Compared to a typical full-scale
www.powermag.com
SHOW PREVIEW
Figure 6
medium-voltage VFD train with a step-up
gearbox, the measured system eficiency
of a VECO-Drive is about 2% higher over
the whole speed range. Thus, the VECO-
Drive system reduces annual energy
consumption by more than 2,000 MWh
compared to a comparable VFD system.
Its component eficiency is rated at up to
97%.  Booth 2145 — Voith Turbo Inc.,

 COMMENTARY
Rescinding Clean Power
Plan a Positive Step Toward
Free Market for Electricity
Jordan McGillis
he Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in early October
T announced it would rescind yet another signature Obama
administration policy: the electricity regulation known as
the Clean Power Plan (CPP).
As with President Trump’s Paris climate agreement withdraw-
al announcement earlier in 2017, the CPP decision has been
met with acrimony. But producers and consumers of electricity
alike—which is to say, all of us—should rejoice to be rid of this
deal, which was rotten even on its own terms.
According to a study by NERA Economic Consulting, under the
CPP, 23 states could have experienced retail electricity rate in-
creases of 10% to 20%; seven states could have seen rates jump
20% to 30%; and 10 states could have experienced increases of
a whopping 30% or more.
Higher Electricity Costs
The CPP’s overall cost of at least $29 billion annually is three
times higher than the cost of EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics (MATS)
rule, which was deemed an EPA overreach by the Supreme Court
in 2015. The late Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority in the
MATS case, Michigan v. EPA, stated, “It is not rational, never
mind ‘appropriate,’ to impose billions of dollars in economic
costs in return for a few dollars in health or environmental ben-
efits.” He added, “EPA must consider cost—including cost of
compliance—before deciding whether regulation is appropriate
and necessary.”
On that standard, one would expect CPP must have presented
a wide suite of benefits to outweigh those high costs. But one
would be wrong.
Despite the “Clean Power Plan” moniker, the CPP would not
have done much to clean up our environment. That’s because
its main target wasn’t pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrous
oxides, or ozone, but rather the perfectly safe carbon dioxide—a
gas each of us emits with every breath, and that is necessary and
beneficial for plant life.
Given the rhetoric surrounding the CPP, many Americans would
be surprised to learn that we have drastically reduced our air pol-
lution over the past half-century. According to EPA, despite our
gross domestic product growing by 246% since 1970, we’ve cut
our emissions of the six common air pollutants by an average of
70%. So what was the CPP really after?
The purpose of the CPP was to nudge the economy away from
carbon-intensive fuel sources and toward others on the premise
of anthropogenic global warming. As President Barack Obama
expressed on a number of occasions, the plan would, by design,
have made the use of coal more expensive in order to coerce
utilities to use less-carbon-intensive options. According to es-
timates produced by the Obama administration’s EPA, the plan
would have reduced the electricity sector’s greenhouse-gas emis-

sions approximately 25% below 2005 levels by 2020, and 30%
by 2030.
Little Effect on Global Warming
But inconveniently for CPP backers, execution of the plan would
have had a negligible effect on global warming.
Climate scientists Pat Michaels and Chip Knappenberger of the
Cato Institute used a climate model emulator that was developed
with the support of EPA to determine that complete adoption of
the CPP would have resulted in a temperature reduction of less
than two one-hundredths of a degree Celsius by the year 2100.
That’s not even enough to make you zip your jacket.
The Clean Power Plan entailed
few environmental benefits,
while pushing significant costs
onto energy consumers.
The Clean Power Plan’s defenders treat it as if it were a seawall
holding back a tide of environmental ills. In reality, “Clean Power
Plan” was a misnomer. The plan entailed few environmental ben-
efits, while pushing significant costs onto energy consumers.
Beyond its concrete implications, the plan wasn’t cooperative
federalism as EPA claimed, but coercive federalism and a misap-
plication of the Clean Air Act. The CPP for the first time would
have seen EPA regulating not specific sources, or “inside the
fence,” but establishing emissions guidelines for entire states.
Fortunately, the current administration’s EPA takes a more re-
strained view on the role of the federal government, which will
allow for more local application of knowledge and innovation.
The rescinding of this plan, though, is not the end of the CPP
debate. Legal challenges to this EPA decision are sure to follow.
What’s more, rescinding the plan does nothing to address its un-
derlying basis: the 2009 EPA Endangerment Finding that requires
the agency to take action under the Clean Air Act to curb emis-
sions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. As long as
the Endangerment Finding stands, decarbonization schemes will
be on the table.
While not a panacea, the rescinding of the Clean Power Plan
is a positive step toward freeing energy producers to supply the
indispensable value of electricity to American families and busi-
nesses in the most efficient manner possible. ■
