14 GENSETS
Gensets for district heating and grid support in Slovakia
Rolls-Royce has signed a contract with EPC contractor Energyco for the supply of four gensets to a cogeneration plant in Kosice, Slovakia. Thanks to a medium speed gas engine B35:40V20AG2, the plant will be able to generate a total of 37MW heat and power for the district heating company, Teplaren Kosice.

the plant will generate a total of 37 MW heat and power for the district heating company Teplaren Kosice. The contract will also include a service agreement for 5 years. The en- gines are produced at Bergen Engines AS, 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 param- eters 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 Proj- ect & Site Manager. The medium speed engines from

Rolls-Royce are flexibly designed for different operat- ing modes, and can be used to generate base-load, peak power or operate in combined cycle.
Just three minutes from start the engines can already operate with 100% load to the rated speed of 750 rpm. R-R considers them ‘well suited to balance changes in the grid parameters’. Furthermore, by using 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. Jeff Elliott, Managing
Director of Bergen Engines, explains:m “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.” This will be Rolls-Royces first
delivery of medium speed reciprocating engines to Slovakia, complementing the installed base of 96 MWe in central Europe. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned early 2019.
