Since the beginning of the year, two Rolls-Royce combined heat and power plants have been supplying energy to a new tomato greenhouse operated by Maxburg BVBA in Meer in Belgium.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN – Since the beginning of the year, two Rolls-Royce combined heat and power plants have been supplying energy to a new tomato greenhouse operated by Maxburg BVBA in Meer in Belgium. The two gas-powered gensets have reliably supplied over 20 Megawatt hours of heat and power to date. Maxburg is now the 30th greenhouse for which Rolls-Royce has delivered combined heat and power plants. Since 2005, no less than 52 combined heat and power plants manufactured by Rolls-Royce have generated a total electrical output of 270 MW in greenhouses in Holland, Belgium, Russia and the UK.
Back in 2008 and 2010, Rolls-Royce delivered two combined heat and power plants to the greenhouse operator John Vermeiren in Loenhout and in Merksplas in Belgium. As John Vermeiren says: “The high level of efficiency of the medium-speed gensets and their reliability impressed us so much that we decided once again in favour of Rolls-Royce for the energy supply of our third greenhouse in Meer.”
The gensets are based on the medium-speed B35:40 V12 AG2 engines from Rolls-Royce, each of which is able to generate an electrical output of 5,650 kW and a thermal output of 6,545 kW. They achieve an efficiency level of more than 96 per cent. The electric power is used primarily for the greenhouse lamps and, if required, is fed into the public grid. The greenhouse, which extends over an area of 10.2 hectares, is heated using the heat extracted from the exhaust gas and the engine’s cooling system. The cleaned exhaust gases from the engines are also injected into the greenhouses to increase the level of CO2 and boost plant growth. John Vermeiren expects to achieve an annual production of 7.5 million kilogrammes of tomatoes at the Maxburg greenhouse.
Rolls-Royce has delivered the complete CHP plants, consisting of the power generator sets, the exhaust gas systems, including the SCR systems and the heat exchangers. The electronic control systems are also included in the scope of supply. Operator John Vermeiren and Rolls-Royce have concluded a long-term service agreement for the combined heat and power plants covering approximately 4,500 hours of operation per year over the next 10 years.

High and medium speed engines for power generation in the 24 kWe to 9,400 kWe range.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN/GERMANY, DUBAI/UAE – The Middle East Electricity event in Dubai will provide the backdrop for the first ever joint presentation by Rolls-Royce of the product portfolio available from MTU Onsite Energy and Bergen Engines. From 2 to 4 March 2015 (Stand S1 F30) the company will be showcasing high and medium speed diesel and gas gensets in the 24 kWe to 9,400 kWe range. MTU Onsite Energy and Bergen Engines are part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems within the Land & Sea division of Rolls-Royce.
“We see great market potential in the Near and Middle East for our extensive range of power generation products. That is why we have now strengthened our on-site presence with a new regional subsidiary based in Dubai,” explained Matthias Vogel, Head of Power Generation Business at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. MTU Middle East provides support for distributors and business partners associated with products from MTU and MTU Onsite Energy and with land-based Bergen Engines products in 21 countries in the Near and Middle East as well as in North Africa.
At Middle East Electricity, MTU Onsite Energy will be presenting its range of high-speed diesel gensets up to 3,250 kWe and gas engine systems up to 2,530 kWe. The stand will display a diesel genset based on the new generation of MTU Series 2000 engines. Offering common rail technology and delivering up to 1,120 kWe, the new genset is quieter, more efficient and more compact than units previously available. Its power range is also around 12% greater than that of its predecessor. Also on view, for the first time (Open Air Stand OS3), will be a 20-foot container genset from MTU Onsite Energy that is likewise based on the advanced version of the Series 2000. The unit will feature in the standard delivery program from March 2015. Other exhibits include a model containerized Power Module with a 16V 4000 diesel genset and the model of a gas system based on MTU Series 4000 engines. The systems for decentralized power generation of MTU Onsite Energy are able to cover both continuous and emergency or peak power requirements and therefore have a critical role to play in special applications such as airports, hospitals and data centers. They can likewise operate as power generation plants delivering for base and peak load supply applications.
The Rolls-Royce medium-speed power generation solutions are supplied by Bergen Engines. Its product range will be showcased for the first time at Middle East Electricity 2015. Its stand will include a model of a generator set based on a 20-cylinder B35:40 gas engine. Power generation systems based on these gensets are currently in operation, for example, in power plants in Indonesia, Tanzania and Czech Republic. Diesel and gas gensets from Bergen Engines cover a power range from 3,700 kWe to 9,400 kWe with complete electricity generation systems offering total supply capabilities in excess of 200 MWe. Due to their proven technology, high availability rates and low operating costs the engines are chosen by operators worldwide. The generator sets are featured by robust design coupled with leading nominal electrical efficiency ratings of up to 48.5%. Applications include base-load generation for energy providers, grid supply balancing and peak-load supply, cogeneration (CHP) and trigeneration (CHCP) plants, emergency power and mechanical drives for the Oil & Gas sector.

CHP plant is equipped with four 20-cylinder engines
BERGEN, NORWAY – In Czech Republic a combined heat and power (CHP) plant designed to provide grid support officially went into operation at the beginning of January. Based on four 20-cylinder Rolls-Royce engines, the CHP plant generates a total of 37 MW of heat and power for the town of Tabor/Sezimovo Ústí roughly 100 kilometers southeast of the capital Prague. The medium-speed Type B35:40 gas engines were supplied by Bergen Engines which is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems within the Land & Sea division of Rolls-Royce.
“This is the first natural gas power plant based on medium-speed gas engines in the region to go into operation supplying heat and power to the local grid. This project is an additional step forward towards a green future for our region and country,” said Libor Doležal, CEO at plant operator C-Energy. Until now, electricity and heat in the region were predominantly generated by coal-fired plants. The new plant was designed and built by the Czech prime contractor PSG International.
The CHP plant’s medium-speed engines are flexibly designed for different operating modes. They can be used to generate base-load or peak power or can operate in combined cycle. The heat from the engines can be used to generate steam in the heat recovery steam generators. The steam is supplied to industrial customers for their technological needs. The power plant can also be used for district heating by utilizing hot water from the engines.
“CHP plants with Rolls-Royce natural gas engines are a reliable alternative to coal-based plants and are significantly more environmentally friendly. Our medium-speed engines enable C-Energy to operate the plant efficiently, both in terms of cost and time,” explained Dr. Michael Haidinger, CSO at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Their quick-start capability means the engines can ramp up to their rated speed of 750 rpm within five minutes, giving the plant access to the amount of power and heat needed within just a short space of time. The plant has also been certified to provide grid balancing services, due to the stable operation of the engines and their ability to quickly respond to changes in grid parameters. “This is an extremely flexible power plant and I am proud it is based on Rolls-Royce medium-speed engines,” added Dr. Michael Haidinger.
Additionally C-Energy and Bergen Engines signed a two-year service agreement which covers scheduled maintenance, spare parts and technical support. The four gas engines were handed over to PSG in November 2014 and a series of certification procedures was then successfully completed before the plant officially went into operation at the beginning of January.
