CHP SITE REPORT 29 Steam will be recovered
from the CHP exhaust to provide space heating and the electricity generated will be used to power the onsite infrastructure, increasing the power capacity available at the Naval Base. In the event of a mains
failure at site, the MWM TCG 2032 engines are capable of Island Mode operation, providing mission critical and maintaining security of power supply.
The CHP plant will be installed within an energy centre, adjacent to and form an extension of the existing Central Boiler House originally built as the ‘Electric Light and Power Station’ in 1906. Within close proximity to the existing steam and electrical infrastructure, the CHP energy centre will benefit from reduced operation and maintenance costs. A dedicated CHP facility will
not only meet the demand of the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers but also increase energy efficiency across the site. Iain Greenlees, Captain
Royal Navy, and Head of Infrastructure at Portsmouth Naval Base, said: “As the largest energy consumer across defence, making a radical change to both the cost and carbon footprint of Portsmouth Naval Base is a rare and really exciting opportunity.” Tony Fenton, Edina Joint
Managing Director, said: “We are extremely honoured to be supplying the 13.5MWe CHP plant at BAE Systems Portsmouth Naval Base. Our comprehensive technical knowledge and understanding of BAE Systems’ strategic requirement, coupled with our vast capabilities in delivering total energy solutions, positioned Edina as BAE Systems’ preferred supplier. “Our energy solution will not only reduce energy costs

for the MOD, but will also reduce carbon emissions, and maintain and expand power security at the site.” “CHP offers a lifeline for businesses and high energy users. In a climate of spiralling energy costs, industry can better protect itself by adoption of CHP application. Not only does CHP reduce
energy costs and improve sustainability, but can also lead to better productivity and drive competitiveness.” The £12million contract for the CHP facility forms an amendment to the Maritime Services Delivery Framework (MSDF) contract, awarded to BAE Systems by the Ministry of Defence in 2014. Under the
MSDF contract, BAE Systems manages Portsmouth Naval Base on behalf of the Royal Navy, as well as supporting half of the Royal Navy's surface fleet on UK and global operations.
The CHP plant is due to be installed in December 2018 and fully operational in early 2019.
