GIGAJOULE: Uses Proven Technology Along With The Internet Of Things (IOT) And Blockchain Technology To Ensure The Highest Standards Of Quality And Efficiency Electricity:
Introduction:
Gigajoule is a project that applies state of the art technology in the form of floating power electricity plants. Each floating power plant is mounted on a barge, and it is composed of two SGT-A65 aero-derivative gas powered turbines. The floating power plant has an electricity generation capacity of 132 MW. The technology behind Gigajoule floating power plants is provided by Siemens, and each project is made up of 4 barges with a total output of 528 MW.
The energy industry is the key to bringing growth and stability to society. As many as 2.8 billion people do not have access to electricity or only have partial access, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). Markets with limited or no access to electricity are concentrated in three main regions - South America, the Indian subcontinent, and Africa.
Electricity, for the most part, is a worldwide utility that is easily accessible to consumers. But when it comes to the energy industry as a whole, the conditions turn into strict regulation, monopoly, or even total chaos. Producing electricity itself is only half of the story - utilizing existing grids, matching supply and demand, and reducing greenhouse emissions while producing them is a complex task. While the number of people without electricity is cause for concern, it seems to decrease rapidly. In the past two decades, hundreds of millions of people have received easier access to electricity. This trend also coincides with the growth of electricity from renewable sources, which faces special challenges in joining the electricity grid and taking notes and market prices.
IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES OF THE FLOATING POWER PLANTS:
a. Location flexibility Two SGT-A65s are mounted on a floating barge, thus creating a complete movable power plant
b. Significantly fewer footprints are required than for land-based power plants. This provides many options of where to site the FPP units, as close as possible to gas supply and the local electrical evacuation infrastructure.
c. Ownership of the FPP units is always retained. These assets can therefore be deployed to other sites if necessary
d. Speed of manufacture, installation and commissioning Quicker and easier than land-based counterparts
e. Gigajoule’s floating power plants will be assembled in the Apple door Shipyard UK with its covered dry dock allowing for manufacture throughout the year
f. Once the floating power plant arrives at the place of deployment by heavy lift vessel, connection to gas supply and the electrical grid is done in a relatively short time
g. Simultaneous establishment of the land-based infrastructure for the FPP units Dry dock, gas pipelines, substations and transmission lines
h. Economies of scale FPP units are deployed in groups of four per site though this can be increased or decreased as requirements dictate
i. In a typical deployment configuration, eight modularized SGT-A65 generator sets in operation means that maximum operating availability can be maintained at all times for the typical twenty-year operational term.
THE GIGAJOULE SOLUTION:
Floating Power Plants (Fpps):
Natural gas-based power generation
Gas turbines mounted on barges
Can be deployed wherever there is access to the sea
Positioned in lagoons, rivers or harbors
Coupled to natural gas supply and the national transmission system.
Natural Gas As Feedstock:
Cleanest of all carbon-based energy sources
Gas associated with oil production (as in Nigeria) or LNG (Liquid Natural Gas)
Siemens Sgt-A65 Gas Turbines:
State-of-the-art turbine technology
Aero-derivative engines
Modularized with generators and mounted in pairs on barges.
AIRCRAFT-ENGINE POWER GENERATION:
Gigajoule uses the Siemens Trent turbine as its primary power unit. At its core is the same Rolls-Royce engine that is found on the Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft, providing enhanced reliability for long-range flights and maximum passenger capacity. The Siemens Trent gas turbine is assembled in a modularized package with a Brush generator, to form the SGT-A65 generator set. The use of Rolls-Royce engines for electrical power plants represents successful technology transfer and benefits from more than 30 years of development and billions of dollars of research.
The SGT-A65 also benefits from a long operating life of 50,000 hours (approx. 6 years). Turbines can then be switched out for a replacement in less than 72 hours. The cost of this “as new” recurring operational capacity is incorporated in O&M costs. The Siemens technology package includes comprehensive O&M and performance guarantees, resulting in maximum reliability and efficiency.
PROBLEM:
At present, it is estimated that up to 2 billion people in the world do not have access to electricity, a figure that is increasing from year to year. This problem is more severe in countries like Nigeria, where less than the amount of electricity needed. In many developing countries where there are electricity transmission systems, electricity generation obtained through power generation systems is expensive and inefficient. In addition to negativity towards the environment, governments must issue subsidies to get access to, support the negatives for their government finances and budgets.
Renewable energy will have the fastest growth in the electricity sector, providing nearly 30% of electricity demand by 2023, up from 24% in 2017. During this period, renewable energy will get more than 70% growth in global electricity generation, developed by solar PV and followed by wind, water power, and bioenergy.
SOLUTION:
Gigajoule will launch a natural gas-powered solution known as a "Floating Power Plant", based on technology developed by Siemens. The Floating Power Plant uses advanced technology in the form of a Siemens SGT-A65 generation unit that uses derivatives from Rolls Royce Trent aircraft engines. Two SGT-A65 gas-fired generating units are installed on a floating platform, with several units deployed at each location depending on demand. This innovative system produces electricity that is efficient, clean, reliable, and flexible. Gigajoule will be regulated in Malta, the pro-Blockchain regulatory environment. In addition, ships with the Flag of Malta enjoy registration and tax benefits.
As with other developments in the energy market, changes are largely placed within the borders of the nation-state, mostly where favorable rules and regulations facilitate the renewable energy market. Renewable Energy is largely an unpredictable source of energy. For this reason, the process of integrating renewable energy into the grid rather intensies the data, inviting challenges and opportunities to find innovative solutions for the calculation, recording, prediction and seamless integration of renewable energy to obtain more environmentally friendly energy.
SIEMENS SGT-A65 SYSTEM:
The Siemens Trent gas turbine is assembled in a modularized package with a Brush generator, to form the SGT-A65 generator set, complete with intake duct and exhaust stack. The system is fully automated. Each SGT-A65 has a generating capacity of 66 MW. Siemens Operating, Maintenance and Performance warranties ensure a twenty-year average of operational ability of not less than 95%.
The SGT-A65 is an aero-derivative gas-powered turbine. Its start-up time is very fast, at less than 10 minutes, and it can tolerate frequent stops and starts. This stop-and-go capability is particularly effective in balancing out energy load fluctuations. The SGT-A65 can provide base-load power both to electrical grids and to industrial applications.
