We begin today to present the 2016 nominations for the energynomics awards, with the Energy Efficiency section. Only one of the projects below will be awarded during the Gala from December 8th, but every company and all the people involved in these projects deserve our respect and an extended promotion.
CONPET S.A. Ploiesti
Implementation and certification of the energy management systems – ISO 50001
The implementation of the energy management system has a significant impact on the energy sector and the environment, by saving a considerable amount of electricity: innovative business practice for cost reduction, guaranteed success in energy saving.
The implementation of an energy management system in CONPET represents one of the key actions set by the CEO of the company, in order to “decrease operating expenses” – strategic objective of the Board of Directors. The energy management system has been DNV-GL certified, as a result of its implementation at the headquarters in Ploiesti and in all of the production divisions of the company. In the initial phase, the project team proposed a complex program implementation, which was conducted over a period of about two years.
Establishing the application field phase was an extremely brave intercession, given the large number of working groups, where the project is implemented – more than 50 pumping stations and CF loading / unloading distributed in over 20 counties of the country.
Elsaco Engineering
Project implementation at the CET Oradea source
Engineering Elsaco proposed a competitive solution which answered customer demands and led to a more efficient activity.
The project from CET Oradea, the most important investment conducted in the thermal power industry in Romania in the last 26 years, implemented by Elsaco Engineering in association with STC S.P.A. Italy, consists in the development of the new source of production in highly efficient cogeneration of electricity and heat, required by the municipality, in order to ensure a quality public service for heating and hot water supply to the inhabitants of Oradea.
The configuration of the new CET consists of a high efficiency gas turbine of 45 MWe, a waste heat boiler related to the turbine of 50 MW, two hot water boilers of 116.3 MWt, two saturated steam boilers, together with all the other ancillary facilities necessary for the smooth operation.
The configuration of the CET uses modern technologies and provides a range of performance parameters related to capacity, energy efficiency in cogeneration, specific maintenance, annual availability, compliance with the strict European rules concerning emissions into the atmosphere.
Energy Serv
Electricity from ‘waste’ 80 degrees Celsius hot water
Energy Serv commissioned in September 2016 the first project of Heat Recovery for Power Generation of its kind in Romania SC Sortilemn SA, Gherla (Cluj county). It is a typical project of energy efficiency (“waste” energy recovery and transform it into electricity) it is applied in the area of renewable energy and is the first project of its kind as technology in Romania.
Obtained performance
Increasing the installed capacity by 16.2%;
Increasing the electrical efficiency of the ORC cycle o the CHP with ~ 3%;
~ 25% increase estimated, of the annual production of “green electricity” (to be determined exactly after one year of operation);
Reduction of the GES emissions by ~ 1.000 t CO2 / year
The project is funded innovative (the ESCO concept) and participation FREE (Romanian Energy Efficiency Fund)
The project is replicable in all the applications and industries that use energy and benefit from low temperature “waste” energy, deemed irrecoverable / without utility such as hot water 80 degrees C or less, flue gas of 100-150 ~ C , low-temperature and pressure steam, ventilated in the air, unused geothermal water sources of 80-90C etc.
NESS PROJECT EUROPE
Steam generating boiler, operating on agricultural biomass
The boiler developed by NESS PROJECT EUROPE is the first project that uses agricultural waste to generate steam and supplies this steam for a technological production process, having a strong impact in reducing fossil fuel consumption, environmental protection and energy efficiency.
In a partnership with the beneficiary NESS PROJECT EUROPE developed and operates a thermal plant that produces 4 t / h of saturated steam at 8 bar which uses agricultural waste. The waste is collected from their own agricultural lands, pelletized and used for the combustion and steam production.
At Buzau, at the headquarters of a company that recycles waste and which requires technological steam for this process, based on a partnership where the beneficiary buys the steam, NESS PROJECT EUROPE developed a biomass boiler that works with agricultural biomass. The developer has its own farmlands, from which after harvesting the basic agricultural products, gathers the remaining agricultural waste (straw, stalks of canola, corn, etc.) and produces his own pellets in his factory. The pellets serve as fuel for the steam generating boiler. Steam is sold to the end user, and the ashes from the burning of biomass are reintroduced into the agricultural cycle, as fertilizer or it is included in the composition of the used pellets as litter in livestock farms.
The Partnership: UTCN – Cluj-Napoca City Hall – CREESC
The energy management of urban communities through the public-private partnership: from strategy to action and results
We promote a public-private partnership of energy management of the urban communities, as a replicable model that based on an approved strategy, implements a series of actions and achieves results in increasing the energy efficiency and of the comfort within public buildings and urban transport, awareness and behavior change, involves investments and a healthy economic development.
We propose the energy management project of Cluj, initiated in early 2016 as a public-private partnership between the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (UTCN) – Cluj City Hall – The Resource Center for Energy Efficiency and Climate Change (CREESC), took shape in the form of a strategy that is already implemented with results.
Through a public contract, the association UTCN (university) – CREESC (professional association, privately founded by Energobit, Servelect Green Partner – environment, Secpral Pro Instalatii, Modern Bau – construction, Planwerk – architecture) took over the energy management service of Cluj-Napoca City, for and in collaboration with the Office of Energy Efficiency of Cluj City Hall, becoming an ally of the local community.
A program of energy efficiency at city level has been drafted, starting from the overall energy consumption data: 3.300 GWh / 2015 with a 12.8% share public consumers, focusing on: information campaigns, training, coordination with utility companies, public and private organizations from Cluj, awareness and behavior change and sustainable investments of 286 million euros planned by 2020, and in 2016 11.2 million euro achieved, with an annual impact of 9.400 MWh in efficiency and emission avoidance 3.300 tonnes of CO2, becoming a priority in attracting nonrefundable grants.
