New Approach Allows Suppliers to Reach 50 percent of the World’s Power Generation Market

Large utilities are expanding through merger and acquisition.  As a result, 100 power generators around the world buy more than 50 percent of the products and services. These operators are expanding into wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and other renewable fuels. They have distributed generation initiatives. Many are making major investments to meet new environmental regulatory requirements. There are thousands of challenging decisions which have to be made.  A new program is creating a unique path for decision makers to combine the hurry-up habits of the IPhone and Facebook with the wisdom of “wise crowd” decisions.  The program for the first utility is now available.

Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE) includes PacifiCorp, NV Energy, Mid-American, BHE Renewables, Northern and Kern River Pipeline. The two pipeline companies transport 7 percent of the natural gas in the U.S.  The power companies operate coal, gas, hydro, solar, geothermal, biomass, wind and other renewables generators.

McIlvaine now has Berkshire Hathaway Energy Supplier and Utility Connect to be used by suppliers as well as BHE personnel.  It has details on every one of the hundreds of power generators within the system. It fulfills the 4 knowledge needs: Alerts, Answers, Analysis and Advancement.  It combines 44I Power Plant Air Quality Decisions (Power Plant Decisions Orchard) and 59D Gas Turbine and Reciprocating Engine Decisions with the custom BHE program. This includes interfacing with hundreds of BHE people indirectly through the Alerts, case histories, etc., and directly through large and small webinars.

The “Hurry up” Pace for Flow Control and Treatment

Jeffrey Immelt of GE has called upon industry to adopt the same “hurry up” pace endemic to Silicon Valley. This statement was made in conjunction with the initiative to maximize the value of information communicated by machines. This information can be used to improve operations and maintenance. GE outlines impressive advantages of massive machine to machine communication. This leads to speculation that the information generated by pumps, valves, fans, etc. could be worth more than the equipment itself.

McIlvaine is currently conducting a series of webinars for a large U.S. utility which is considering optimization systems offered by GE, Siemens, Emerson, Doosan and others. Better machine communication can contribute a NOx reduction of more than 10 percent. However, since the utility needs to achieve at least 70 percent reduction at four plants, optimization will only be part of the strategy. It now appears that the most cost effective solution is a combination of five or more technologies.

For this specific project the solution could involve the GE NeuCo optimization system in Massachusetts, the GE combustion (CE) in Connecticut, the GE (formerly Betz) treatment chemicals in Pennsylvania and the GE (formerly Alstom/CE) scrubbing technologies (Tennessee and Sweden) along with changes in wastewater treatment and maybe even ZLD as furnished by the GE water groups in Minnesota, Washington and other areas. The utility has to determine the best interaction of all these technologies. GE also has to maximize the communication among its own technology providers who, as previously independent companies, are not part of a seamless operation.

The series of webinars using the McIlvaine Global Decisions Orchard http://www.mcilvainecompany.com/Decision_Tree/subscriber/Tree/Default.htm is demonstrating the value of organization and decisive classification but also a “hurry up” pace through the power of the wise crowd. The utility will likely choose a unique combination of technologies which had not been envisioned at the beginning of the two-month webinar series. Unexpected input from many different sources has made a major contribution to the likely choice.

The Wikipedia entry for the wise crowd provides the following criteria:

 

Wise Crowd Criteria

Criteria

Description

Diversity of opinion

Each person should have private information even if it's just an eccentric interpretation of the known facts.

Independence

People's opinions aren't determined by the opinions of those around them.

Decentralization

People are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge.

Aggregation

Some mechanism exists for turning private judgments into a collective decision.

All these criteria have been met with the webinar and Decision Guide approach used on this project. McIlvaine intends to take full advantage of the wise crowd in the future.

Power Plant and Energy Projects Should Be Tracked from Inception

Fossil-fired power plants, refineries, gas-to-liquids, LNG and petrochemical plants are large investments. Initial decisions about suppliers are first made years in advance of the bid specification release. These decisions can be reversed by persuasive suppliers but it is much better to make the case prior to a tentative decision. McIlvaine supplies weekly and biweekly alerts to help suppliers ensure that they are heard at the earliest appropriate time.

Coal, gas and diesel-fired power plant projects take years to develop from initial concept to actual operation. Decisions about sub systems are typically made two years before operation for a small gas turbine or diesel plant. These decisions for large coal-fired power plants are made three years in advance or earlier. On the other hand, decisions can be altered due to unforeseen events. The 3960 MW Saurashtra power plant in India is a project which has been underway for nearly seven years. The first two 660 MW units for Saurashtra are slated for 2019 start up. The new air pollution regulations will require 30 mg/Nm3 for particulate compared with 50 mg/Nm3, FGD for units 1 and 2 at 92 percent versus only provision for FGD in the existing permit. NOx emissions will be limited to 100 mg/Nm3 which would require more than 80 percent reduction. So any decisions relative to air pollution control systems have to be reviewed and new systems incorporated.

Gas turbine combined cycle power plants have a shorter construction cycle but many of the projects are in the U.S. where litigation and permits cause delays and design changes. Large refinery projects are typically in the planning and construction stages for a decade prior to operation. Gas-to-liquids plants can cost up to $15 billion. As a result, their construction cycle is equal to that of a refinery.

McIlvaine has three Alert services covering these projects on a continuing basis:

High Value Calcium and Sodium Sorbent Opportunity Created by Catalytic Filter Developments

Hydrated lime with high surface area and micronized trona are two premium sorbent products which will benefit from the new air pollution control technology which combines catalytic filtration with dry sorbent injection (DSI). This technology is likely to be applied at coal-fired power plants, waste-to-energy plants, steel mills, mines and other locations where acid gases, NOx and dust must be captured.

The biggest potential is in developing countries, but there is considerable opportunity in the U.S. and Europe as well. In countries presently without acid gas reduction requirements, the DSI catalytic filter approach will take market share away from wet limestone and dry circulating bed technologies. In the U.S. and Europe, it will represent an option which has two advantages:

 

The DSI catalytic filter is a combination technology which removes acid gases, NOx and particulate in one device. At this point due to low NOx efficiency below 300oF it is limited in its lower temperature range. Two filtration media are used. Fiberglass or synthetic bags use embedded catalyst but are limited in maximum temperature to 450oF. The ceramic fiber media is capable of handling temperatures well above 850oF.

The high surface area of special hydrated lime and micronized trona allow 90 percent acid gas removal with the DSI approach. The catalytic filter also achieves 99 plus percent dust removal and NOx removal above 80 percent. The clean hot gas can then be processed in efficient heat exchangers to greatly reduce net greenhouse gas emissions.

The combination of lower capital cost, less space and lower greenhouse gas emissions offset the slightly higher OPEX costs for the more expensive sorbent. So, not only does the user benefit, but the sorbent suppliers enjoy a much larger market in terms of sorbent revenues. There is an order of magnitude cost difference between a highly reactive sorbent and limestone.

The coal-fired power plant projects which will use DSI and catalytic filters are tracked in

Custom Websites for Power Plants are the Next Step to achieve the Interconnectivity of People

The power industry has been challenged to progress at the “hurry up” pace endemic to Silicon Valley. One of the cited routes is the utilization of the interconnectivity among machines. However, this progress requires better interconnectivity of people. McIlvaine has introduced a free internet decision system for power plants based around separate websites for gas turbines/reciprocating engines and coal-fired power.

The value of this system to a power plant has been demonstrated at PacifiCorp where use of the system along with a series of five webinars has shown the way to lower cost NOx control for four coal-fired units. The decisive classification tools in the system were important but the insights from the “wise crowd” have been equally important. McIlvaine is now taking the next step in interconnectivity with a website and decision system for all the Berkshire Hathaway (BH) generation plants.

The website includes links to the decision systems but also includes an Alert just for BH people. It includes details on each generating unit with continuing updates. McIlvaine already tracks components and consumables such as the NOx reagents and suppliers for the various gas turbine units. The coal-fired power plant NOx project will use more reagent than any of the gas turbine plants. The combination of H2O2 and urea may be better than just urea. If this is true for the coal-fired power plants, is there a benefit for the gas turbine plants?

Siemens, GE and Emerson are each proposing optimization systems for the coal NOx project. The gas turbine plants in the fleet are newer and the operators have insights on the latest technology. One upgrade was priced at $8 million if the improved performance was achieved, but only $300,000 if it was not. The decision makers for the coal project need to hear from the gas turbine plant operators on this.

String wound condensate polishing filters for one of the coal-fired power plants were replaced several years ago with 20 micron filters. However, at the time there was speculation that the more expensive 10 micron filters would have been worth the extra investment. A total lowest cost of ownership study on this selection would be useful to all the coal and combined cycle gas plants. The bidders list for Currant Creek lists Cuno as the only approved bidder. The Cuno string wound filters were deemed too inefficient and that is why they were replaced with Pall 20 micron filters at the coal-fired power plant. But the condensate cooling at that plant is achieved with air cooled condensers. This results in more contamination than when wet cooling is utilized. Also Cuno has a range of filters. So an approved bidders list should specify filter efficiency and take advantage of recent experience. In any case, a condensate filter users group within the corporation would be desirable.

Valve and pump approved bidders’ lists for the water and steam applications for one new gas turbine plant are included in the decision system. In its valve and pump services, McIlvaine is writing about the many improvements in the product offerings. This includes designs but also materials such as hard facings. This list should be shared among all the plants and the “wise crowd” invited to provide insights. There should be a BH power generation valve users group and also a user’s group on pumps.

There are lots of individuals in the crowd who can provide valuable input on the generation mix. Warren Buffet has been defending the policy of not subsidizing photovoltaic solar owners in Nevada. They are paid 11 cents/kWh for their electricity when the company can buy from central solar suppliers for 5 cents/kWh. At the heart of this dispute is the true cost of generation when transmission and other costs are included. This true cost is influenced by the fluctuations in demand and the contribution of all the other generation sources in the system. Mid-American Energy filed changes to its private generation tariff with the Iowa Utilities Board. It is now dedicated to 100 percent renewables over time. Wind energy will be the foundation. Relative to the solar tariff, the company said “Most private solar customers remain connected to the power grid for back-up power to use when the sun isn’t shining.”  However, they pay less for using the grid – customers who don’t have private solar end up paying the difference. We believe the filing is a step forward in the process to balance the needs of all customers and ensure that customers who install private generation pay their share of the costs for maintaining the grid. We will continue to move policies in a direction that encourage private solar and wind development.

There is a commercial tomato greenhouse at the Currant Creek plant. It produces 22 million pound of tomatoes per year. It uses heat and CO2 from the power generator but also is recovering a significant amount of water from the flue gas (derived from hydrogen in the fuel). The grower operates another plant in California and is building one in Canada. These plants each use two 4 MW gas engines to provide the electricity, heat, light and CO2. Their energy efficiency is greater than 80 percent. However, the produce grows up to 40 percent faster because of the CO2. Therefore, you can make a good case that the gas engines are more than 100 percent efficient and, therefore, are better than wind or solar. This case is even stronger when the grower uses biogas from the produce waste to fuel the engines. The recovery of water from the exhaust at Currant Creek creates another ponderable. McIlvaine has a common metric to measure the harm from CO2 vs. the recovery of water in an arid area. Ten tons of recovered water is worth one ton of CO2. Therefore, further quantification of the water recovery is important.

Much of the area in which the Berkshire plants are located is arid and sunny. Many experts are predicting a huge future for indoor agriculture with gas engines burning low cost natural gas or biogas. These engines will operate 24-7 unlike wind and solar. Data centers are investing in emergency engines to provide up to 6 percent of all the energy potentially consumed in the region. They could invest in NOx control equipment and switch to standby service. Should gas engines be a bigger part of the fleet? Presently the long range plans for PacifiCorp only include a fractional percent of energy from this source.

The “wise crowd” of Berkshire people along with experts from the supplier and consulting companies will have a unique tool to help make better combustion, flow control and treatment decisions throughout the organization. The long-range plan is to provide the custom websites for all the major utility generators throughout the world. Since these are offered free of charge the challenge is not obtaining the utility buy in but in the funding from the supplier community who will benefit from the customer interface and the mechanism to demonstrate that their products will result in the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
