CHP is another solution to reduce emissions and how key features of Power Generation Package support CHP application?

摘要

Today everybody is focusing on reducing emissions by producing more and more renewable energy. The typical producer of renewable energy is wind turbines and solar panels. The produced energy is reducing the air pollution quite a bid. Unfortunately electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels is intermittent power. The capacity factor is not very high since the wind is not always blowing and the sun is not always shining when the electricity is needed. This putts a big burden on the grid operators. Another option to reduce emissions is to use the existing energy used more effectively. One of the options is the use of Combined Heat and Power. In this paper, we will present a real life experience from an existing project that is already operating a CHP plant for a couple of years. Focus will be given on the selection criteria of the CHP plant e.g. what were the major drivers for selecting a CHP application, the sizing requirements and the operating experience in terms of availability and reliability. Last but not least a comparison will be done to show the savings in emissions as well as the commercial advantage over convention method (producing steam and electricity via separate fuel sources) by using CHP. The closing will be a lessons learned. Tips will be given on what to focus in the future based on the experience collected over the years. One of the main components of a CHP installation is the Power Generation package. Based on the newly introduced Titan 250 power generation package, we want to highlight and explain the efforts which were taken to develop the new package design. The paper will be split into three chapters - a) Establishing the priorities between costumers requirements and the business requirements, b) define the design requirements of the package, C) Explain key design features in detail. A) The design process initially started with collecting and prioritization of the customer requirements for optimum plant integration and availability. In the next steps we evaluated and prioritized the requirements of the business such as serviceability and cost. The two lists were merged to ensure that the priorities of both sites were considered. The merged list of requirements set the basis for the design requirements. B) Based on the priority list we established the key criteria which need to be met. The key criteria are layout, noise, electrical code compliance, area classification, air filtration and generator design. C) In this chapter we will present in the key features which were incorporated into the new package design. Focus will be given to the design of the frame, fuel system, lube oil system, enclosure and equipment handling including engine removal. For each of the system we will present the design feature and how the customer will benefit from the design feature in the integration in their operation. The engine removal will be supported by a short video.
