ABB to Boost Efficiency Enertime Natural Gas Transmission Network

By Strategic Research Institute on Sep 27, 2021 10:00 am

A company specialising in clean energy harvesting Enertime is deploying an EX-rated high voltage ABB generator for a pilot project to recover energy normally lost in the transmission and supply of natural gas. Enertime is working with GRTgaz, the European leader in gas transport, to install a gas expansion turbine in the pipeline at a site in Villiers-le-Bel in the Paris region. Driven by the turbine, the ABB generator will produce 2.5 megawatt (MW) of electricity that will be fed into the local grid.

Natural gas pipelines must be maintained at a high pressure of around 5 to 7 megapascals (MPa) for transportation over long distances. However, the pressure must be reduced to as low as 0.3 MPa to supply customers. Usually, throttle valves are used to reduce the pressure, resulting in a significant loss of kinetic energy of the high-pressure gas. The solution developed by Enertime is to replace the throttle valve with an expansion turbine. This enables the pressure to be reduced while the energy in the gas is used to produce electricity.

Because the high voltage generator is operating in an explosive atmosphere, Enertime required an EX-type machine. This called for specific design features such as changes in the auxiliary boxes and cable ducts. These were installed with a special hardening compound to prevent movement after installation.

The 6.6 kilovolt generator was completed in November 2020 when it passed the type test. However, the project had an extremely complex certification process. In addition to the standard production process, all the materials used had to be approved by Eurofins, the Finnish certification company.

The Villiers-le-Bel pilot is being carried out as a TENORE project. It was selected for financial support by the French Future Investment Program (PIA), managed by ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency.

ABB EV Chargers Compliant to German Eichrecht

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
30 Sep, 2021, 6:30 am

ABB is on track to meet its energy metering commitments, as it secures prestigious Eichrecht compliance for its high-power DC chargers in Germany. A form of calibrated energy metering, Eichrecht is designed to ensure transparent measurement and billing of energy dispensed from EV chargers to car batteries.

Set to become widespread across the world, this form of calibrated energy delivery will give consumers confidence in the amount of energy they purchase to power their EVs. Historically, charging station manufacturers have been unable to comply with these types of regulations due to the lack of DC meters for this application. Now, with the launch of charging solutions such as ABB’s Terra 53, 54, and High-Power DC chargers, compliance is possible. Both ABB's AC and DC energy metering meet the stringent requirements of German metering laws and regulations, including requirements for secure charging data transmission to the end user.

ABB has also developed a retrofit solution and Field Validation Tester to enable any chargers with CCS, CHAdeMO and AC Type 2 connectors already in the field to secure this essential compliance. The FVT has been designed to calibrate and test the measurement systems of each upgraded charging station in the field and is deployable as a universal calibration system for non-ABB DC charging stations with CCS, CHAdeMO and AC Type 2 connectors.

In anticipation of broader standards across the globe, in close cooperation with its customers and selected installation and service partners, ABB’s service team is preparing a major upgrade campaign for DC charging stations starting with more than 2,000 units in Germany, Austria, and France. This will ensure that all ABB charging infrastructure operators affected by new national regulations about energy metering will receive an offer to upgrade their operating charging stations and that implementation can take place within realistic timeframes.

In addition to certified energy metering, compliance with consumer protection legislation also requires the secure transmission of charging data - via the charge point operator (CPO) and the e-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP) - to the driver of the e-vehicle. In Germany, this end-to-end functionality was tested by ABB together with the first major German CPO/eMSP and confirmed by the certification body VDE.

The first example of Eichrecht compliance upgrade in action took place at the Audi Center in Kassel, Northern Germany. As the start of the broader Eichrecht campaign, ABB High-Power chargers at the center were retrofitted with the new solution to provide customers with full transparency over the amount of energy they are purchasing.

In what may be a blueprint for future global expansion, Audi plans to roll-out the retrofit solution to a further 50 charging station locations across Germany.

This will increase the range of e-buses and will make the entire bus network more flexible.

Only four to six minutes are needed to charge the e-buses at these opportunity charging stations. The high-capacity chargers, which are part of ABB's innovative cross-divisional ABB Ability offering of digital solutions and services, provide web-enabled connectivity. This enables operators to remotely monitor and configure charging points, minimizing downtime and optimizing efficiency.
