Rolls-Royce has today launched a V-line version of the new B33:45 liquid fuel and B36:45 gas engine series.
Rolls-Royce has today launched a V-line version of the new B33:45 liquid fuel and B36:45 gas engine series. This completes the new engine family, following the launch of the first variants three years ago.
“This is an important milestone for us. The new V-Engine series is truly an outstanding product and we believe that the new platform confirms Rolls-Royce’s position as a global provider of some of the world’s most efficient power plants,” said Peter Headland, Head of Customer Business at Bergen Engines AS, which is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
“The Powergen market is a very important part of our business. Over the last two years we have increased our customer base significantly, both in Asia and the rest of the world. We believe this new power plant platform will be in high demand, especially in the Asian market where many of our customers have access to LNG or natural gas. The B36:45V gas engines are perfect to support variable renewable energy sources in hybrid systems like micro grids.”
The V-line will consist of 12, 16 and 20 cylinder, while the inline platform is available in 6, 8 and 9 cylinder. At 600 KW per cylinder the new engines offer a 20 per cent increase in power per cylinder compared to their predecessors. In addition, the engines set a new standard in power and efficiency with exceptionally low fuel consumption and emissions of NOx, CO2, SOx and particulates.
"Our medium speed engine range is renowned for its robust design and high reliability. The new engine builds on and improves our existing capabilities, with a completely new modular architecture. This makes for an engine family that is truly engineered for the future, with numerous configurations, multiple fuel options, and low life cycle costs," said Leif-Arne Skarbø, Chief Technology officer at Bergen Engines AS.
With a modular design, the B33:45 liquid fuel and B36:45 gas engines will share the same core components.

Rolls-Royce has signed a contract with EPC contractor Energyco for the supply of four gensets to a cogeneration plant in Kosice, Slovakia.
BERGEN, NORWAY – Rolls-Royce has signed a contract with EPC contractor Energyco for the supply of four gensets to a cogeneration plant in Kosice, Slovakia. Based on the medium speed gas engine B35:40V20AG2, the plant will generate a total of 37 MWe heat and power for the district heating company Teplaren Kosice a.s. The contract will also include a service agreement for 5 years. The engines are produced at Bergen Engines AS, which is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
“We have been working closely with Rolls-Royce for this project for more than a year. One of the critical parameters required by TEKO was 3 minutes start to full load to comply with Slovakian grid support service. This was new for us and we appreciate that Bergen Engines could commit to these requirements,” said Lubomir Fejko, Energyco Project & Site Manager.
The medium speed engines from Rolls-Royce are flexibly designed for different operating modes, and can be used to generate base-load, peak power or operate in combined cycle. Already three minutes from start, the engines can operate with 100 per cent load to the rated speed of 750 rpm, and are in this aspect well suited to balance changes in the grid parameters. Furthermore, by utilizing hot water from the engines, the plant will be used for district heating for the region. Heat from the engines can also be used to generate steam in the heat recovery steam generators, to supply industrial customers.
“Cogeneration plants based on our medium speed gas engines are a reliable alternative to coal-based plants and significantly more environmentally friendly. In addition, the engines’ flexibility will enable Teplaren Kosice to operate efficiently, both in terms of cost and time”, said Jeff Elliott, Managing Director of Bergen Engines.
This will be Rolls-Royces first delivery of medium speed reciprocating engines to Slovakia, complimenting the installed base of 96 MWe in central Europe. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned early 2019.

“Rolls-Royce Power Systems delivered a strong performance in the financial year just ended and has held its ground well against the competition,” CEO Andreas Schell said during a press conference on the financial results for the year 2017 on 7 March in Friedrichshafen.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN – “Rolls-Royce Power Systems delivered a strong performance in the financial year just ended and has held its ground well against the competition,” CEO Andreas Schell said during a press conference on the financial results for the year 2017 on 7 March in Friedrichshafen. “We have achieved a turnaround in terms of revenue, profit and order intake, a major contribution to this being made by our RRPS 2018 business transformation programme.”
Underlying revenue was up 3 per cent to 2.92 billion pounds sterling. Return on sales also rose significantly to 11.3 per cent (+ 4.1 percentage points). As a result, with a profit of 330 million pounds, Rolls-Royce Power Systems reports a 61 per cent profit increase compared with the previous year. The order book standing at 2.19 billion pounds sterling is very healthy and shows a 4 per cent improvement on 2016. With this result for 2017, the Power Systems division with its core brand MTU accounts for 19 per cent of the total revenue generated by the Rolls-Royce Group and is thus once again the second strongest revenue driver in the Group, which in 2017 was organised into five businesses.
“The year 2017 has put us back on track for success,” said Marcus A. Wassenberg, Chief Financial Officer at Rolls-Royce Power Systems. “We benefited on the one hand from the growing market and the good performance of the global economy. What clearly contributed to the excellent result was the fact that, with our RRPS 2018 transformation programme, as a result of optimising costs, service and sales, we were able to significantly improve our profit situation.” Detailed product analysis resulted in a 25 per cent reduction in product variants, which, together with improvements in material costs, quality control, stocks and use of facilities, ultimately led to significant savings.
More business in service and products for the energy, agricultural and construction sectors, and for the oil and gas industryOur service initiative bore fruit in 2017 – total service revenue was up 6 per cent, due primarily to our business in MTU Reman engines and services provided for the invigorated oil and gas business in the USA.
One third of the total revenue of Rolls-Royce Power Systems in 2017 was again generated by the energy sector, which continues to be a viable future business field. Additional growth was achieved primarily in diesel systems for emergency gensets, e.g. for data centres in China and the USA. Business in medium-speed engines manufactured by our subsidiary Bergen Engines A.S. stabilised in 2017, due principally to orders for the delivery of power generation systems together with the associated service.
Declines were reported in our business in engines and systems for ships, which also accounts for one third of the total revenue. This was due primarily to a decline in sales of yacht engines compared with the previous year. In the extremely competitive commercial marine market (engines for ferries and work boats), we achieved an increase in revenue. This is a market that has great future potential for Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Sales of products for navies increased as well.
Sales of engines for the construction, agricultural and industrial sectors increased significantly in 2017. The further development of engines in the lower output range in anticipation of the EU’s new Stage V emission standards scheduled to come into force in 2019 resulted in large-volume orders. One of the major customers is the agricultural machinery manufacturer Claas.
Due to the recovery of oil prices and the increased demand for raw materials, sales of MTU engines and systems for the oil & gas industry and mining vehicles were up in 2017.
Delivery of first green and high-tech productsRolls-Royce Power Systems in 2017 reported successes as a result of its Green and High-Tech programme, with which the company is making targeted investments in environmentally-friendly solutions for the future designed to reduce pollutant emissions and the consumption of both energy and raw materials. The first MTU Series 4000 mobile gas engines were delivered to the Dutch shipping company Rederij Doeksen. The engines are so clean that they are allowed to operate on the Wadden Sea nature reserve. In the San Francisco Bay area, the first MTU diesel engines meeting the stringent EPA Tier 4 requirements will enter service before the end of 2018. WETA, the San Francisco Bay Area Emergency Transportation Authority, is putting its trust in the new integrated MTU propulsion system consisting of Series 4000 diesel engines and an SCR exhaust gas aftertreatment system for its new high-speed ferries.
Progress being made on the way to becoming a solutions provider“In the 2017 financial year, we made considerable progress on our way from being purely an engine supplier to becoming a solutions provider that supplies its customers with drive and propulsion systems and their permanent availability,” Andreas Schell explained. Since last year, Rolls-Royce Power Systems has provided its customers with support from experts in its new Customer Care Centres in three different time zones. New digital tools, such as MTU’s GoAct app or MTU’s GoManage internet platform, are designed to significantly improve the quality of service provided. They are being developed by an in-house digital unit set up in 2017.
Agenda 2018: growth, consistent digitisation and electrification, plus increased business in Asia“For 2018, we expect the present healthy, dynamic performance to continue – we aim to achieve further growth, but we intend to maintain our flexibility and continue to rigorously implement our business transformation programme. This is due to the fact that we are dependent on volatile end markets,” Andreas Schell said, looking to the future. “Our agenda includes consistent digitisation specifically for customers and service, in addition to the electrification of our drive and propulsion systems. 2018 will also be an important year for our new partnerships in Asia, which will enable us to increase our production capacities and market access in key focus markets. This means we now have engine and system production facilities in three major regions – Asia, America and Europe.”

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, GERMANY – Rolls-Royce Power Systems subsidiary Bergen Engines signed contracts for the delivery of two power stations to Bangladesh with a contract value of 133 million Euro. The consignments to Confidence Power Rangpur Limited are destined for a power station in Rangpur delivering an output of 112 Megawatts electrical power. It will be supplied this year. A second, similar power station is set for delivery in 2018 as a further option. The second power plant to be delivered this year is a 150 MW power plant intended for “Midland East Power Ltd” that will be located in Ashuganj. Within the contracts are also spare parts deliveries over 15 years.
“We are delighted to have been chosen to help develop the power sector in Bangladesh,” comments Jeff Elliott, Managing Director at Bergen Engines. “Bergen Engines delivered its first Rolls-Royce genset engine to Bangladesh way back in 2001, and has since built power stations covering over five percent of the country’s overall power supply. These new power plants represent a major step forward for us, and we are totally committed to doing our very best for our customers and, indeed, the whole country.”
These contracts are part of the Bangladesh government’s ambitious plan to more than double national power generation capacity to 38,000 MW to meet a forecast demand of some 33,000 MW by 2030. Meeting this goal will require a substantial increase of a good 9,000 MW over the next four years alone – and this is where the medium-speed engines come in. A power plant based on internal combustion engines is easily built within just one year, whereas other alternatives can take as long as seven years to realize.

On a visit to Lake Constance, German Minister of Foreign Affairs Sigmar Gabriel visited Rolls-Royce Power Systems in Friedrichshafen on Monday 14 August, to hear about development and production of the very latest propulsion and drive systems for ships, trains and heavy land vehicles, and for power generation.
FRIEDRICHSHAFEN – On a visit to Lake Constance, German Minister of Foreign Affairs Sigmar Gabriel visited Rolls-Royce Power Systems in Friedrichshafen on Monday 14 August, to hear about development and production of the very latest propulsion and drive systems for ships, trains and heavy land vehicles, and for power generation. “The Green and High-Tech programme at Rolls-Royce Power Systems opens up further prospects for German industry. The company has thus launched an initiative that I gladly support,” said Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel on his tour through the plant.
CEO Andreas Schell and CFO Marcus A. Wassenberg took the minister on a tour of the plant to explain the company’s Green & High-Tech programme and talk about the key international growth markets for this technology. “At Rolls-Royce Power Systems, we launched our Green & High-Tech programme in 2016. It involves us investing very deliberately in environmentally-friendly solutions of the future which are aimed at fewer pollutant emissions and lower consumption of energy and raw materials. It is absolutely key to keeping the company competitive on the international stage,” said Andreas Schell, and showed Gabriel a specific example at the company’s natural gas engine test stand. MTU is to ship the first certified production gas engines for marine applications in 2018. These MTU engines, which run on liquefied natural gas, have attracted major interest from across the world. The first pre-production engines are being delivered to the Strategic Marine shipyard in Vietnam at the end of the year for installation in catamarans being built for Dutch shipping company Doeksen. The vessels will be used to ply ferry routes in the Wadden Sea nature conservation area. Lake Constance, which is Europe’s largest reservoir of drinking water, is also set to get a new ferry powered by MTU natural gas engines in 2019.
The highlights of the product line-up at Rolls-Royce Power Systems feature not just gas engines, but also diesels with newly-developed exhaust aftertreatment technology to meet strict international emissions requirements, and also diesel hybrids. Large ships, haul trucks and trains all require high power outputs, meaning internal combustion engines – such as diesel engines – remain indispensable. MTU’s highly refined diesel engines are currently being chosen for new ferries in the San Francisco Bay area. California is regarded as one of the areas with the most demanding environmental protection regulations worldwide.
Rolls-Royce Power Systems makes 90% of its revenue abroad. “We’re concerned about growing levels of protectionism in some countries, trade barriers and sanctions,” CEO Andreas Schell explained to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Sigmar Gabriel was also impressed by Rolls-Royce Power Systems’ offering to employees – flexible working hours, a Group-wide health management system, leisure facilities and counselling services, as well as a day-to-day culture which makes it easier to combine work and family life. “In order to continue managing our company successfully as it moves into the future, and to adopt a leading role in the face of international competition, we want to provide a working environment which offers freedom – in terms of time and location – in the way people organize their work, and one which encourages creativity and personal responsibility,” explained CFO Marcus A. Wassenberg.
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.

4. Rights of data subjects
As a person whom the processing of the data concerns, you have the following rights (data subject rights) pursuant to EU-GDPR:
4.1 Right of information: You have the right to request information on whether the company processes data relating to your person or not. If your personal data is indeed being processed, you have the following rights:
You furthermore have the right to know whether your personal data has been used for the purpose of making an automated decision pursuant to Art. 22 EU-GDPR and, if this is the case, to know the criteria on which the automated decision was based and the possible consequences and implications of that decision for yourself.
If personal data is transmitted to a third country outside the jurisdiction of the EU-GDPR, you have right of access to information on whether adequate data protection pursuant to Art. 45 and 46 of the EU-GDPR is being provided by the data recipient in the third country, and, if so, on the basis of which guarantees.
You have the right to request a copy of your personal data. The company shall provide data copies in electronic format unless you specify otherwise. The first copy is free-of-charge. For further copies, a reasonable fee may be charged. Provision of the data is subject to any rights and freedoms of other persons who may be affected by its transfer.
4.2 Right to data correction: You have the right to request that the company corrects your data insofar as it is incorrect, inaccurate and/or inadequate. The right to correct includes the right to have the data completed by further explanations or statements. Correction and/or completion must take place immediately i.e. without culpable delay.
4.3 Right to erasure of personal data: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data insofar as:
The right to erasure of personal data does not obtain insofar as:
Erasure must take place immediately i.e. without culpable delay. In the event that personal data is placed by the company in the public domain (e.g. in the Internet), the company is responsible for ensuring inasfar as reasonable and technically feasible that third-party data controllers are also informed of the demand for erasure, including the erasure of links, copies or replicates.
4.4 Right to restrict data processing You have the right to have processing of your personal data restricted in the following cases:
Personal data whose processing is being restricted at your request may only – apart from being stored – be processed as follows:
4.5 Right to data portability You have the right – on condition of the provisions set out below – to request that the data that concerns you be submitted in a commonly used electronic and machine-readable format. The right to data transfer includes the right to transmit the data to another controller. The company will therefore – at your request and as far as technically possible – transmit the data directly to a controller named or to be named by you. The right to data transfer only applies to data provided by you and is subject to the condition that the data was provided at your consent and is to be processed for performing a contract and that data transfer will take place using automated means. The right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 EU-GDPR does not affect the right to data erasure pursuant to Art. 17 EU-GDPR. Data transfer is subject to the rights and freedoms of other persons in cases where these rights could be affected by transmission of the data.
4.6 Right to object to specific intentions in data processing When personal data is processed for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (Art. 6 Par. 1 Point e) EU-GDPR) or for legitimate interests (Art. 6 Par. 1 Point f) EU-GDPR) you may object at any time to the data concerning yourself being processed, with future effect. In the event of an objection, we must refrain from any further processing of your data for the above purposes unless:
You may object to the use of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time, with future effect. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. In the event of an objection the company must refrain from any further processing of your data for the purpose of direct marketing.
4.7 Prohibition of automated decision-making/profiling (insofar as relevant) Decisions which have legal implications for you or otherwise significantly affect you must not be taken solely on the basis of the automated processing of personal data – including profiling. This shall not apply to the extent that the automated decision:
4.8 Exercising of data subject rights To exercise data subject rights, contact the office named under 3. Inquiries submitted in electronic format will, as a rule, be answered in electronic format, unless otherwise specified in your inquiry. The provision of information and notifications and the taking of action pursuant to EU-GDPR, including the exercising of data subject rights, will, in principle, be free-of-charge. Only in the event of requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive will the company be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for processing, or to refrain from taking action (Art. 12 Par. 5 EU-GDPR). In the case of justified doubt with respect to your identity, the company is entitled to request additional information from you – as far as is necessary – for the purpose of identification. If identification is not possible for the company, it shall be entitled to refuse to process your inquiry. The company shall – as far as possible – notify you separately if it is not in a position to make identification (Art. 12 Par. 6, Art. 11 EU-GDPR). Information requests are usually processed immediately, within one month of receipt. This period may be extended for another two months as necessary in respect of complexity and/or the number of inquiries received. The company shall inform you of the extension of the time limit within a month of receipt of your inquiry, stating the reasons for the delay. Should the company fail to act in response to an inquiry, it shall inform you thereof immediately, within one month of receiving your inquiry, stating the reasons and shall also inform you of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority or of seeking legal redress (Art. 12 Par. 3 and Par. 4 EU-GDPR). Please note that you may only exercise your data subject rights within the scope of any limits and restrictions imposed by the European Union or its member states.
4.9 Obligation to inform third parties Should the company have disclosed personal data to other offices or recipients, it is obliged, insofar as technically possible and reasonable, to inform them of any correction, erasure and/or restriction on processing of the said data. The company shall inform you of such data recipients on request (see 4. above).
4.10 Management of data protection infringements The company shall notify you immediately of data protection infringements that could put your personal rights and freedoms seriously at risk. However, notification might not be made in cases applicable to Art. 34 Par. 3 EU-GDPR. Notification shall particularly contain the following information:
4.11 Legal protection In the event of objections you are entitled at all times to contact the relevant supervisory authority in the European Union or member states. The supervisory authority mentioned under 2. is responsible for our company. For reasons of space, further clauses and provisions which usually form a standard part of data protection regulations and/or works agreements have not been included here.
5. Purpose of data processing
To combat corruption and bribery, the Company has created the conditions for staff to act in a legally compliant way. These conditions also contain an element of surveillance. Gifts or hospitality granted or received must be documented in the IT-based reporting tool in accordance with internal company directives.The following data are processed:
The source of the data is internal data banks where the data of our business partners has been stored for the purpose of executing contracts.
The aim is monitoring as an integral part of the Compliance Management System to ensure that RRPS group staff on the one hand and business partners on the other are complying with the specifications and value limits contained in the internal directives on compliance. With this Tool, it is possible to bring to light any infringement of internal rules of conduct. This monitoring function can also be performed by the internal auditing section.
Apart from helping to prevent breaches of duty, the Tool also enables compliant conduct to be documented and the required supervisory measures to be implemented within the RRPS group. To this extent, the Compliance Online Tool can be seen as necessary for the prevention of bribery and corruption.
6. Legal basis for data processing
In the case of the data of business partners, a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Par. 1 Point f) of the EU-GDPR exists. A legitimate interest in processing the personal data of business partners in the scope that is absolutely necessary to prevent corruption, bribery, breaches of trust and fraud, exists.
7. Possible recipients or recipient categories
Recipients of personal data are staff from Ethics & Compliance and RRPS AG internal auditors. It cannot be ruled out at the present juncture that an overview of the data generated will be made available to Rolls-Royce plc (UK). Insofar as necessary, an anonymized data extract of samples that are not incident-related and that are restricted to pre-defined departments shall be put at Rolls Royce's disposal. In the event of suspicious circumstances, a pseudonymized data extract, where possible, will be forwarded to Rolls Royce.
8. Data processing in a third country outside the jurisdiction of the EU-GDPR
Depending on the location of the RRPS subsidiary, data will also be collected in third countries outside the jurisdiction of the EU-GDPR.
9. Information on period of retention
Personal data is to be erased from software if it is no longer needed. The retention period for data sets is five years. The retention period begins at the end of the year in which G+H was either given or received. When the retention period comes to an end, the data is to be kept in anonymized form (name, first name of employees, line managers, business partners) for a period of two years to enable it to be used for statistical purposes. On expiry of this period, the data is then to be erased.
Exceptions to this rule are data sets that upon random examination reveal concrete evidence that a criminal offense has been committed or a directive infringed, thereby necessitating further investigation. These data sets are to be archived separately until the end of the investigation. On completion of the investigation, processing of the data sets shall be restricted for a period of two years. In the event of follow-up investigations, the processing restrictions may be lifted and the data sets processed as appropriate. If two years pass without the introduction of a follow-up investigation, the data sets are to be erased.
Personal data can be erased at the personal request of the business partner concerned insofar as this does not affect the legitimate interests of the company.
