From Coal to Electricity

Generation of electricity in a typical coal power plant

Before being injected into the furnace, the raw coal is crushed down to a fine pulverized form in the coal mills.

Flue gases up to 1,450 °C arise from pulverized fuel combustion in the steam generator furnace. The liberated heat is used to generate high-pressure and high-temperature steam.

The steam is directed to a turbine; it flows onto the blade wheels and turns the turbine shaft. An attached generator then generates the electrical power.

With the help of catalysts, the nitrogen oxides in the flue gas react in the DeNOX system to produce nitrogen and water vapor.

Ash particles adhere to electrically-charged surfaces in the electrostatic precipitator; they are rapped and removed from the flue gas.

In the flue gas desulphurization system (FGD) lime slurry or suspended pulverized limestone bind the sulphur dioxide coming from the flue gas. The final product arising is gypsum.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe

A track record going back over 100 years in the power plant field, efficient products,

a highly motivated workforce and a parent company of real strength and substance:

that is Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH (MHPSE). The energy plant

constructor both designs and builds fossil-fired power plants and – through its

references – ranks as one of the market and technology leaders. MHPSE also supplies

key components, such as utility steam generators, environmental engineering

equipment, turbines and pulverizers.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe’s history goes back to 1898 and the

establishment of “Deutsche Babcock & Wilcox Dampfkesselwerke AG” in Berlin. In 2003

Babcock-Hitachi K.K., a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., acquired the power engineering field

and the entire know-how in steam generation and combined-cycle power plants of the

former Babcock Borsig Group, Oberhausen. Following complete takeover by the Hitachi

Group, the company was renamed Hitachi Power Europe GmbH in 2006. In 2014 the

company then started operations as Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH

as part of the joint venture of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Hitachi, Ltd.

In 2007 the energy plant constructor set up its head offices at the Inner Port of Duisburg /

North Rhine-Westphalia. Including subsidiaries, approx. 2,000 staff are on the company’s

payroll (As of: March 2014).

Along with power plant engineering and supplying key components, the plant constructor

also concerns itself with forward-looking services. Green technologies – in energy

storage and biomass, for instance – are examples of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems

Europe innovation and reliability.

Given rising populations, a growing economy and new products – no development is

possible without energy. And it is principally electrical energy – that is power – which

is needed for the production and transportation of merchandise, products and services.

Competitive economic systems rely on a healthy mixture of various fuels and a raised

level of energy efficiency. Most of the electricity is generated in the world by fossil

fuel-fired power plants – after all, they are tried-and-tested, reliable under continuous

operations and economical to run. In particular, the latest generation of coal, lignite and

gas-fired power plants ensure that environmental pollution is kept well down. An added

plus: fossil fuels, such as coal and lignite, are available for supply in many politically and

socially stable countries and their reserves will last for literally hundreds of years.

Currently, the world has a population of approx. 6.8 billion people. The world’s popu-

lation has doubled within the last 50 years and will continue to increase. Moreover, a

quarter of mankind is still without electricity. For this very reason electricity consumption

is set to rise more rapidly than all the other forms of energy consumption. Experts expect

a doubling of electricity requirements by 2030. Hence, the challenge facing companies,

the political world and society in general is quite clear: everything must be done to

ensure that energy is generated sustainably, reliably and economically.

Tops in Power Plant Construction

It is no surprise on account of its long tradition, ultra up-to-date products and immense

know-how that Germany is one of the top countries for the construction of energy plants.

This is very much down to the world’s highest efficiencies for fossil-fired power plants,

tough environmental protection provisions and the leading role taken in researching and

developing new, more productive materials and CO2 capturing technologies.

The demand for both new and replacement plants is considerable given the global rise

in electricity consumption and the fact that many power plants will be reaching the end

of their technical lifetime over the next few years.

The major plant construction business in Germany (power plants, iron & steel works

and rolling mills, electrical equipment, cement units) is also a major export factor as

shown by the fact that some 80 % of the orders come from the international markets.

All these factors will continue to bring about an increase in the demand for products and

know-how from the energy plant engineering / power plant sectors.

Energy plant constructor Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe specializes in power

generation in highly-efficient coal and lignite-fired plants. In addition, turnkey gas and

steam power plants tailored to customer requirements form part of its work & services.

Whether it is a utility steam generator, turbine, coal mill or environmental engineering,

each and every power plant consists of numerous components which must be operated

productively, reliably, economically and in an environmentally compatible manner.

In design work, MHPSE makes use of the most up-to-date IT tools for optimum plant

planning. These tools – 3D CAD software and virtual reality solutions, for instance –

are vital in optimizing plant arrangement and calculating flows in a utility steam generator

furnace. This makes it possible, amongst other things, to raise in advance the service

lives of system parts and thus save on costs.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe both uses and refines design software for the

construction and commissioning of power plants and components. It should, in future,

be possible to image a complete power plant virtually on the computer – inclusive of all

the ongoing data and readings. A number of benefits would arise from this “dynamic

simulation” of an overall plant. One of them would be to train staff for their tasks and

another would allow simulation of vital processes – starting up a power plant, for

instance, following an inspection – at the computer.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe has an extensive track record going back

over many years in energy plant engineering both in Germany and abroad. Our teams

concern themselves not only with planning / design and engineering but also with

monitoring work at the project sites, controlling logistics and personnel needs, carrying

out continuous controlling and ensuring there is no trouble in placing components into

service.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe not only supplies its own components and

replacement parts for coal mills and burner technology, for instance, but also undertakes

plant servicing. The competence and know-how needed for power plant component

maintenance and upkeep is bundled in our own service company.

Looking for Traces

The scanning electron microscope sheds light on the matter – even the most minute

traces become clearly visible when magnified 100,000 times. This is a factor of real

significance when the fractured surfaces of materials, for instance, are examined. But

this is only one of a number of tasks which the staff in the Mitsubishi Hitachi Power

Systems Europe laboratory concern themselves with on a daily basis.

The experts in material technology and chemical analysis make use of the most

up-to-date equipment. They examine and analyze fossil fuels, determine, for example,

the calorific value and grindability of various coal types and look for trace elements

in combustion residues (in slag and ashes, for instance). Their aim is to both improve

combustion and, at the same time, cut back on environmental pollution. This can be

achieved, for example, by optimizing the design of coal mills and burners for the various

fuel types.

Specialists carry out damage analyses and remaining service life investigations –

something involving the examination of hundreds of material specimens every year.

They check on processability and ensure that any newly developed materials are suitable

for future power plant generations. That is why close collaboration with those involved

in projects / design work and with commissioning engineers is something quite natural

for the laboratory’s staff. The Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe laboratory is

accredited in keeping with DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025.

Samples are analyzed both under a scanning electron microscope and

in the chemistry laboratory

Motivated Employees

Exceptionally well trained employees working independently at a knowledge level – this

is where the success of any company can be found. Here Mitsubishi Hitachi Power

Systems Europe provides the best-possible prerequisites for both those starting off in

the company (trainees, student trainees, university graduates) and for our long-standing

colleagues.

The company is popular as an employer – particularly with young people. As a result,

around 50 young people apply, on average, for each training post. Standing as

confirmation for the high-quality of the training is the fact that practically all trainees

are allowed to prematurely take their final examinations in view of their very good grades.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe also sustainably invests in further / ongoing

training for company employees in response to requirements. For both company

employees and management, specific, Group-wide training steps provide a wide range

to choose from.

The international scope of MHPSE as an energy plant constructor – with projects

extending from Europe to South Africa and India – widens the personal and professional

horizons of our staff. Thanks to international assignments, they get to know different

working cultures and approaches to work and thus make use of their full potential. After

all, the basis for constant innovations can only be accomplished by motivated and

qualified staff.

Fresh trainees get to know – accompanied by company representatives – the various departments; including the MHPSE laboratory

Training also includes visiting a power plant site

Whether it involves power plants, the power train or utility steam generators – Mitsubishi

Hitachi Power Systems Europe has the required experience and know-how to meet

customer-specific requirements in power plant engineering. As a fully fledged energy

plant constructor, the company is in a position to supply individual components and also

to plan, erect and start up complete plants. Since 2007, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power

Systems Europe has placed over 20,000 MW of installed capacity either into service or

is engaged in its construction.

An example here is the Moorburg coal power plant with MHPSE constructing the two

utility steam generators for the double-unit system for customer Vattenfall in the port of

Hamburg. On completion, the power plant will have a 45 %+ efficiency and then be one

of the most modern of its kind in the world. The high net efficiency provides not only a

considerably greater output but also saves on resources (less fuel used) compared to

power plants to date and reduces the specific CO2 emissions.

At Home in Lignite …

Example – Boxberg: efficient utility steam generator

in the lignite power plant

It is not only coal power plants but also lignite-fired ones which can guarantee an

assured supply of electricity around the clock. Over the past few years various energy

suppliers have either started to modernize their lignite power plants or to rebuild them.

On account of its many years of experience with this fuel, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power

Systems Europe has established itself as a supplier of the latest generation of highly

efficient utility steam generators for these projects.

For example: the two new RWE Power AG power plant units (total 2,240 megawatts

capacity) at the Neurath site. This is where Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe,

as consortium leader, is erecting two utility steam generators with an efficiency up to

43 % – a peak figure worldwide. The two units represent the latest stage reached in

steam generator technology across the world. They feature supercritical steam pressures

and the highest steam temperatures ever realized for lignite.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe has also erected an ultra-modern utility steam

generator for a new lignite power plant unit at Boxberg in Saxony and placed it into

operation. Just like other customers, Vattenfall relies on the large lignite reserves which

make it possible for lignite power plants to be built and operated. Thanks to the much

greater degrees of efficiency, the new plants emit much less CO2 than today’s power

plants. At the same time, the plants conserve valuable resources since less fuel is

needed for the same quantity of electricity.

A further benefit is that Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe has its own firing

technology components which are optimally adapted to the particular requirements of

the various lignite types (e. g. circular jet burners).

… and with Gas-Fired Plants

Short reaction times, very high efficiencies: the principles of a gas turbine and steam

power plant are amalgamated in a combined-cycle power plant. These extremely

efficient power plant s have both a gas and a (downstream) steam turbine permitting of

electrical efficiencies up to 61%.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe also has extensive know-how and a lengthy

track record across the entire gas-fired plant range – from design, acquisition and

construction through to commissioning. MHPSE has a list of 20 references for turnkey

gas power plants / combined-cycle plants in Europe and the Middle East involving

4,500 MW of installed capacity. The entire modular-based plant technology for both

industrial applications and utility power plant technology – including the attendant Long

Term Service Agreements (LTSA) – can be supplied from within the MHPS Group.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe staff deal with all plant layout, constructional

planning / execution, erection and commissioning management. During actual con-

struction, the engineers can still deal with exceptional challenges (such as integrating a

new plant into an existing power station).

Combined-cycle power plants come up with peak degree of efficiency figures

Thousands of welds, hundreds of miles of pipes, several ten thousand tons of steel

structures: the heart of every fossil-fired power plant is the utility steam generator (boiler).

This is where the pulverized fuel is combusted at approx. 1,450 °C and where the hot

flue gases and very hot steam under extremely high pressure (subsequently driving the

turbine blades) arise.

With a track record going back over 100 years, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems

Europe is one of the market and technology leaders in utility steam generators. Our

references are made up of over 370,000 megawatts of power plant capacity (180,000

MW in coal firing, 43,000 MW in lignite firing and 140,000 MW in oil and gas firing)

installed since 1970. MHPSE develops, constructs and supplies steam generators

for over 1,100 MWel unit outputs involving 300 bar+ pressures, 600 °C live steam

temperatures and reheater temperatures up to 620 °C for all available fossil fuels. These

range from coal / lignite to problematical fuels (e. g. gases from coke ovens / steel works,

refinery residues).

Utility steam generators are being constantly refined for operation – with the use, for

instance, of new highly resistant materials – under even higher steam temperatures and

pressure. In this way, the degree of efficiency of tomorrow’s coal-fired power plants

can be raised to over 50 %.

Wide Range of Fuels

MPS® Mills

from l. to r.: DS® Burner, RS® Burner and DST Burner

Whether as pulverizers, burner or deashers, a large number of components are in use

in and around the utility steam generator. Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe

firing systems and components cover a wide range of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels.

The corresponding equipment is optimized for both coal and lignite pulverized firing

systems. As a designer and manufacturer of original parts, the company is also an ideal

partner for modernization work and replacement part needs.

Depending on selection criteria (e. g. fuel property, emission standards, ash recycling),

MHPSE provides the optimum firing systems for bituminous coal and lignite. For instance,

the MHPSE-developed burner generation with its numerous patents features minimum

emissions and maximum flexibility.

The coal mill feeders in the form of conveying equipment (drag chain and belt conveyors)

and steel plate conveyor feeders developed by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems

Europe are also designed for top, fail-safe performances. Pulverizers (for grinding and

drying bituminous coal and lignite) have been part of the scope of production and

services of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe for many years now.

Our trade references with burners for gas /oil fired plants or alternative fuels (e. g. blast

furnace gases and refinery residues) are based on a lengthy track record on the

commercial scale.

Six utility steam generators for each of the Medupi and

Kusile sites are to be delivered (right: Medupi, April 2014)

›› Electrical Power for South Africa and India

End 2007 / start 2008, South African energy supplier ESKOM ordered 12 coal-fired utility

steam generators each with a capacity of 800 MW. Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems

Europe and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Africa (Pty) Ltd. – our South African

subsidiary – are constructing the key components at both the Medupi and Kusile power

plant sites. This major order is of an approx. EUR 4bn volume with the scope of delivery

comprising design engineering, acquisition, erection and commissioning. The utility

steam generators will be going on stream as from 2014. Once in operation, the utility

steam generators will rank amongst the most up-to-date in South Africa. In addition,

they will have a significantly improved efficiency over existing plants. Mitsubishi Hitachi

Power Systems Europe’s commitment in South Africa is of a long-term nature. Many of

the components will be designed and manufactured on the spot; in fact, 60% of the

order volume will remain in the country as local value added.

India is one of the world’s most rapidly growing markets for energy plant constructors.

The total capacity installed on the Indian sub-continent is set to more than double to

approx. 330,000 megawatts (MW) between 2010 and 2017; currently some two-thirds

of the power is generated in fossil-fired power plants.

Hitachi Power Europe (HPE) - predecessor to Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe

- came up with the first successful step on the rapidly growing Indian market. Together

with a joint venture partner, HPE secured the order to supply 6 bituminous coal-fired

utility steam generators of the 660 MW class. The joint venture (“BGR Boilers Private

Limited” based in Chennai) was founded in 2010 by HPE and Indian plant constructor

BGR Energy Systems Ltd. in order to locally manufacture and market super-critical

utility steam generators. Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH will construct

the utility steam generators and place them into service for HPE.

In contrast to most other power plant companies, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems

Europe GmbH has its own manufacturing facilities for the major components. These

include pressure parts for utility steam generators, headers, coal mills and burners,

material handling systems and steel structures. This means that MHPSE is not primarily

tied to sub-contractors and creates a true “Alliance for Quality”. An overview of the three

manufacturing facilities:

Donges SteelTec GmbH (Darmstadt): one of the leading German steel and bridge

construction companies; manufactures steel structures in the power plant field

Meeraner Dampfkesselbau GmbH (Meerane): manufactures complex components

for utility steam generators (pressure parts, for instance) for power plants

Babcock Fertigungszentrum GmbH (Oberhausen): manufactures high-grade

components (e. g. coal mills, coal burners, material handling systems) principally

for Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH

… Our Own Production

Donges SteelTec GmbH manufactures steel structures for power plants

The company is also at the cutting edge of matters in general bridge and steel construction

Maximum quality is needed in power plant engineering particularly since components are

subject to considerable stresses and must dependably perform their functions for

decades under continuous operations. That is why our subsidiaries have established

special priorities in controlling production quality.

Thanks to constant refinements in high-tech materials involving, for instance, special

alloys for pressure parts, components can be used ever more economically and in a

more environmentally compatible manner. At the same time, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power

Systems Europe specialists work closely together with their colleagues in the production

facilities.

Power plant projects abroad – such as in South Africa or in India – often require a large

proportion of the components to be constructed and made locally. To this end, Mitsubishi

Hitachi Power Systems Europe enters into local cooperation schemes, constructs

manufacturing facilities and qualifies the local workforce for the project.

Whether it is a matter of coal dust collection, desulphurization or denitrification, much

of the capital expenditure in building modern power plants goes into environmental

engineering. After all, flue gases containing ash particles, nitrogen oxides and sulphur

dioxides form during coal combustion. Highly effective processes can cut back these

emissions to the greatest possible extent. Modern technology is responsible, for

instance, for 99.9 % of the dusts being discharged from the flue gas. Other processes

ensure that few emissions arise from the other constituents:

Ash particles adhere to electrically-charged plates in the electrostatic precipitator;

they are rapped and removed from the flue gas.

Nitrogen oxides (NOX) react with ammonia and with the aid of catalysts are

converted in the DeNOX system to nitrogen and water vapor – the natural

constituents, in fact, of air.

Sulphur dioxide can be filtered out in the flue gas desulphurization system (FGD).

Lime slurry binds it in the flue gas and the final product is pure gypsum.

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe has extensive knowledge available and a long

track record in flue gas cleaning. The company can deliver the components turnkey, if

needed. In addition, MHPSE and parent companies are constantly researching into new

processes to raise flue gas cleaning system efficiencies.

Still Dependable under High Stresses

Highly efficient steam turbines are supplied by our parent companies

A new Hitachi development: the H-80 gas turbine

Faster than sound: the blade tips of a turbine rotate approx. 3,000 times a minute. Even

though subject to extreme stresses from the extremely hot (up to 620 °C) steam under

very high pressure (up to 250 bar), the blades they still have to dependably function

around the clock.

For over 75 years now, our parent companies have been supplying highly efficient

250 to 1,380 MW steam turbines. The turbines and generators are manufactured in

Japan. Comprehensive research, refinements, improved design and manufacturing

technology ensure that they belong to some of the best of their type in the world.

Tough quality checks are carried out by engineering teams to ensure maximum

performance and quality. These teams also provide continuous and extensive support

for customers and also service and modernize the systems.

Another success story comes in the form of the H-25 / H-15 gas turbine developed

by Hitachi, Ltd. Designed as a heavy duty machine (30 MW rating class), over 150 gas

turbines of the H-25 / H-15 type are in service throughput the world in power plants.

The H-80 newly developed gas turbine from Hitachi has also been in use for power

production purposes since the beginning of 2010.

The gas turbines are sound and reliable under continuous operations, require little

maintenance outlay and are admirably suited for cogeneration / district heating supply

plants. Hitachi gas turbines are also used as drive turbines in industry (e. g. mineral oil

business).

The material is thin yet extremely tear-resistant. Being referred to here is the several tons

which a fabric devised by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe for inspection of

utility steam generators can withstand. The “Shield for Accelerated Boiler Service”

(SABS®) protects workers engaged, for instance, in inspection work or working on a fault

inside a boiler from any falling slag lumps.

The patented and TÜV-certified SABS® system consists of a fabric coated with Kevlar

and extends across the entire cross-section of the utility steam generator.

It is mounted and moved on a support structure also developed by Mitsubishi Hitachi

Power Systems Europe. In contrast to conventional solutions (scaffolding fitted along the

boiler walls; tensioned safety nets), SABS® provides not only more dependable protection

but is also quicker to assemble and dismantle. It thus saves on both time and costs.

Following exhaustive tests, SABS® was effectively deployed for the first time in the

inspection of Unit Q at the Boxberg power plant in mid-2012. Fabric spanning in the

boiler took only 6 ½ hours. During unit cleaning, it intercepted up to three tons of material

several times.

An appropriate configuration of existing technologies will not only significantly increase

flexibility of a coal-fired power plant (also one that is optionally biomass-fueled) but also

contribute – from cost savings – to greater plant competitiveness. The above scheme

shows how to retrofit a conventional fossil-fueled power plant into a hybrid-fueled, high

load and operationally flexible power plant – one which assures a maximum utilization

of renewable sources and production of additionally combined heat and power.

By upgrading the firing system with an indirect firing capability 1 it is possible to reduce

the minimum firing rate by approx. 15 %, if permitted by the burner control range. In

conjunction with a retrofit utilizing DST Burners 3 the minimum firing rate can be

lowered to about 10 % thanks to the burners’ wide control range. Below 10 % electrical

power can be generated by using a connected gas turbine, as in the case of gas turbine

repowering 5. Implementing an indirect firing system makes it possible to reach the

designed ramp rates of newly build or older boilers; a reduction of thickness of thick

walled components 2 clears the way for reaching a possible ramp rate of up to

10 % / min. Further ramp rate improvements come from gas turbine repower ing 5.

Thus repowering / topping – using gas turbines either in combined mode or recovery

preheating – makes it possible to improve flexibility by combining two different

generation types in a smart way. It also enables the gross power output to be increased,

plant efficiency enhanced and CO2 emissions cut. The latter can also be achieved

by using an indirect firing system 1 combined with DST Burners 3 burning (e. g.)

woody biomass 4.

Operation Improvements

Up to 90 % of costly support fuel can be saved by switching very quickly to

minimum stable coal / biomass load during start up.

Mill operation for the indirect firing system – preferable during off-peak times –

enhances efficiency due to constant mill speed in the optimum energetic range.

Reducing auxiliary power consumption by introducing frequency speed control

to induced and forced draught fans additionally elevates part load efficiency.

New Materials, Higher Efficiencies

Maximum precision for best quality: production in Meerane is

already prepared for the “700 °C power plant” materials

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe is researching into and developing new

technologies for future power plant generations. To this end, the company, as plant

constructor and specialist for thermal power plants, can look back on its extensive

expertise and on a host of references. This helps our experts in the development and

qualification of new iron and nickel-based materials which are intended to make thermal

power plants more efficient and flexible.

Modern thermal power plants, such as those fired with bituminous coal, operate at live

steam temperatures above 600 °C and reach efficiencies over 46 %. The attainable

steam temperatures and pressures are decisive for power plant efficiency. Raising the

temperature to 700 °C and having a 350 bar pressure could, for instance, lead to a 50 %

efficiency compared to the 38 % German average.

This development target is referred to as the “700 °C power plant” in professional

circles. This target however requires the use of new materials since conventional

heat-resistant steels can only be employed up to 600 °C. That is why Mitsubishi Hitachi

Power Systems Europe together with material and pipe producers as well as power

plant operators are performing research towards the development and qualification of

iron and nickel-based materials. At the same time, these new materials need to reliably

withstand all the mechanical and chemical stresses taking place at higher temperatures.

Tomorrow’s thermal power plant needs to achieve both a preferably high efficiency and

substantially shorter reaction times in view of power being increasingly supplied from

renewables – such as from wind farms or photovoltaic systems. These reaction times

necessitate a more rapid plant startup and shutdown which, in turn, can be brought

about by developing design techniques and using new iron and nickel-based materials.

Today’s conventional designs would result, in particular, in a premature failure of thick-

walled components.

These ambitious development targets are being pursued in a global research network

and in close cooperation with industry and university associates. To this end,

components, such as superheaters, piping and other system parts, have, for example,

been made of newly-devised materials and installed in various test cycles.

Final evaluation of component and material performance is established by means

of highly modern examination techniques in our own laboratories and in those of

our associates.

Cold storage

Energy Storage: Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) For energy storage purposes in the GWh scale, LAES firstly involves air being

compressed and subsequently cooled to the extent that the initially gaseous air

proceeds into the liquid aggregate state. The liquefied air is then stored. If the demand

for electricity rises in the power grid, a pump brings the liquid air to a higher pressure

which is then evaporated. The pressurized gaseous air is heated and drives highly

efficient turbomachinery for the generation of electricity.

No particular geological requirements on the site come from LAES – thus ruling out

lengthy, complex approval procedures. Moreover, the expectation is for relatively short

construction and lead times – thus opening up the prospect of a rapid implementation

of the technology.

The required components represent well-developed uniform processes which for many

years now have been deployed in the process and power industry. Only minor

modifications are needed to adapt them to the LAES system. In addition, its integration

into an existing power plant or industrial site would mean having available the required

grid and gas infrastructure. The system can also be run as a backup gas power plant

with the exclusion of energy storage process and with an efficiency of 40 % or more.

Conditional upon a number of process parameters, calculated storage efficiency is 70 %

and higher and thus comparable with the efficiencies of pump storage power stations.

Process storage efficiency can also be increased further given the availability of indus-

trial waste heat (from surrounding power plants) and / or waste cold (LNG terminal).

Energy Storage: Power-to-Fuel (PtF)

Together with associates from the process industry, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems

Europe is developing a process for generating synthetic natural gas (SNG) or other

synthetic fuels from carbon dioxide which arises in industrial facilities and / or power

plants. In a Power-to-Fuel process (PtF), CO2 is converted into a valuable fuel

(e. g. methane, methanol or gasoline) which can be used in industry, transport and

households.

Using excess electricity from renewable energy, oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2)

are produced through water electrolysis. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide are then the

initial substances for both the production of methane and / or methanol and for

manufacturing other high-grade products. The oxygen will also be additionally utilized

in the process industry.

The PtF concept has a number of benefits to offer. On the one hand, surplus energy

from renewable sources (e. g. wind farms, photovoltaic systems) can be effectively

stored for a long period. On the other hand, PtF is considered to be a promising

alternative in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the process / energy industries.

As such, this technology is an alternative to the geological storage of CO2.

In addition, the fuels can be transported with the aid of the existing infrastructure

(e. g. pipelines). Thus Power-to-Fuel represents a vital key technology in integrating

renewable energies in a sustainable economy.

From Coal to Electricity

Generation of electricity in a typical coal power plant

Before being injected into the furnace, the raw coal is crushed down to a fine pulverized form in the coal mills.

Flue gases up to 1,450 °C arise from pulverized fuel combustion in the steam generator furnace. The liberated heat is used to generate high-pressure and high-temperature steam.

The steam is directed to a turbine; it flows onto the blade wheels and turns the turbine shaft. An attached generator then generates the electrical power.

With the help of catalysts, the nitrogen oxides in the flue gas react in the DeNOX system to produce nitrogen and water vapor.

Ash particles adhere to electrically-charged surfaces in the electrostatic precipitator; they are rapped and removed from the flue gas.

In the flue gas desulphurization system (FGD) lime slurry or suspended pulverized limestone bind the sulphur dioxide coming from the flue gas. The final product arising is gypsum.
