CHINA COGEN DEAL The RMB324m ($49.7m) Guoyang biomass-fired cogeneration project in Anhui Province is expected to process 300,000 tonnes of biomass and generate around 200 GWh per year. Meanwhile, the RMB410m Huaiyuan integrated waste-to- energy project will be designed to process 400 tonnes of household waste per day, and to comply with the Euro 2010 emissions standard. Once completed, the plant will oper- ate in synergy with the Huaiyuan biomass project, which is already operational, by sharing facilities. Both plants will be built on a build-own- operate model, the company said.

are both and lightweight. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries claims that several MGS1500C gensets can be installed in areas with relatively limited space due to their size, providing a major advantage for users. By Se[ptember 30th, 2017, MHIET will


Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine &


Turbocharger (MHIET) has been contracted to supply 147 MGS Series diesel generator sets in Indonesia to state-owned electric utility PT PLN (Persero). Indonesia, which is made up of thousands of islands, depends on such independently-operated power systems for electricity generation. PT PLN will have the gensets fully


operational by mid-2018 across 19 districts of Kalimantan and three districts of Sulawesi. MHIET will be supplying its MGS1500C line of gensets which are said to be ‘the prime offering of the MGS Series range’. Each of the gensets has been designed

SINGAPORE IS BEHIND HYBRID MICROGRID The Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU), supported by the country’s


Economic Development Board (EDB) and National Environment Agency (NEA), has lived up to its agenda to study, and demonstrate the ability to achieve sustainable, affordable energy access to all parts of Southeast Asia. It has been the driving force behind Singapore’s Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator – (REIDS) - the largest hybrid microgrid test and research platform in the tropics. The initial phase of the REIDS project has been completed with the first microgrid system up and running. The remaining two phases will reach completion before the end of 2017. Roch Drozdowski-Strehl, REIDS Deputy Director at NTU, said: “Once all microgrids are online, REIDS will further study the interoperability of different generations of energy management systems.Of particular interest to NTU is the concept of ‘mesogrids’ where multiple microgrids are able to interface with each other to achieve increased overall performance.”


have finished manufacturing and shipping the 147 gensets. The company’s subsidiary - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine Sys- tem Asia (MHIES-A) - had been tasked with sourcing the generators and other associated equipment and components. MHIET stated that after completion of the power generating sets, its Indonesian dealer Berkat Manunggal Jaya (BMJ) will install the gensets and carry out test operations before delivering them to PLN.
