Case Study of Air conditioning Heat-pump installation at Amey Utilities Waterbeach, Cambridge (14/03/14)

Amey Utilities Office Air Conditioning Case Study

Installation of Amey Utilities office air conditioning heat-pumps:

Orion air conditioning & refrigeration ltd complete the installation of a Fujitsu air conditioning heat-pump heating system for the cabin office building in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire. The cabin building was in need of revamping due to its age and had 5 areas which needed heating and cooling including a data server room. The building had around 200 meters/squared of area that used a electric convector heating system which was as basic and extremely expensive to run.

Project Pictures:

  


What air conditioning heat-pumps were installed in Amey Utilities offices and server room:


Background of the Amey Utilities office air conditioning heat-pumps:

The main contractor conducting the refit was P.B Doyles who were quoted on various heating systems including split heat pump systems and replacement electric heaters which came in under budget in comparison to the price of the Fujitsu air conditioning Heat-Pump units but did not offer cooling which the cabin office would need in the summer. The Fujitsu air conditioning heat-pump system provided a great value way of heating a office building within a short space of time (30 mins heat up time) and with little cost and reduces CO2 emissions. The Fujitsu  air conditioning systems offer large capacity heating with excellent COP. The Amey project required individual heating and cooling for each area and split Fujitsu systems offer a affordable way of heating and cooling without the need for centralized air conditioning system.
Office air conditioning VRF Heat-pump efficiency and CO2 emissions:

This office air conditioning heat-pump system took around half an hour to heat fully but once warm the outdoor heat-pump ramped down because the temperature  had been reached therefore just pumping small amounts of heat in to maintain heat. Typical running cost for the year / system £474.50p.

ITM Power plc Injection of Hydrogen into the German Gas Distribution Grid 04 December 2013

RNS Number : 6226U
ITM Power PLC

4 December 2013

("ITM Power" or "the Company")

ITM Power (AIM:ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, is pleased to announce that, with its partners Mainova Aktiengesellschaft and NRM Netzdienste Rhein-Main GmbH, the Company has injected hydrogen into the German gas distribution network. The ITM Power rapid response electrolyser plant has been delivered and commissioned ahead of schedule and the compliance and permitting work has been completed to enable the incorporation of hydrogen via the compliant mixing plant.
According to an announcement made in Germany by the Thüga Group:
"During the current commissioning phase of the Thüga Group's power-to-gas demonstration plant, the system injected the first ever electrolytically generated hydrogen into the Frankfurt am Main gas distribution network. This represents the first ever plant to convert electricity into hydrogen and subsequently inject the hydrogen into the German gas distribution network. "The system worked as planned, so much so that we will go into trial operation in the very near future ahead of final commissioning at the start of 2014" Michael Riechel, Member of the Board of Thüga Aktiengesellschaft said.
By the end of 2016, the partners will have gained experience of how the system works under real-world conditions. The project partners are badenova AG & Co. KG, Erdgas Mittelsachsen GmbH, Energieversorgung Mittelrhein GmbH, erdgas schwaben gmbh, ESWE Versorgungs AG, Gasversorgung Westerwald GmbH, Mainova Aktiengesellschaft, Stadtwerke Ansbach GmbH, Stadtwerke Bad Hersfeld GmbH, Thüga Energienetze GmbH, WEMAG AG, e-rp GmbH and Thüga Aktiengesellschaft, which acts as project coordinator. The operational phase will be accompanied by scientific partners, whose involvement is being funded by the Hessian Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Agriculture and Consumer Protection.
H2 Injection without Compression
The core of the system is an ITM Power proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser. The electrolyser converts electrical energy into chemical energy, which in turn facilitates the storage of electricity. A gas mixing plant ensures that the proportion of hydrogen in the natural gas stream does not exceed two per cent by volume, the technically permissible maximum value when a natural gas filling station is situated in the local distribution network. The electrolyser supplies the hydrogen-methane mixture at the same pressure as the gas distribution network, namely 3.5 bar. "We were thus able to avoid using a compressor and save costs," said Riechel.
The plant is located on the premises of Mainova Aktiengesellschaft in Schielestraße in Frankfurt am Main. The project partners decided to deploy a PEM system, as this technology, in comparison with alkaline systems, uses water rather than a potassium hydroxide solution, and is therefore more environmentally friendly. In addition, the system can respond more quickly to changes in the electrical load. A further advantage is the unit'scompact design (2.45m high, 6m long, 3.30m wide, weighing 10 tons). The power consumption of the electrolyser is 315 kilowatts. It produces about 60 cubic meters per hour of hydrogen and thus in one hour can feed 3,000 cubic meters of hydrogen-enriched natural gas into the network.
Power-to-Gas Project Platform
13 companies of the Thüga Group have combined their collective know-how and capital in a project platform to invest jointly in the development of power-to-gas storage technology. The focus is on testing the feasibility of power-to-gas technology. The companies are confident that in the long-term, this offers the greatest potential for storing excess renewable energy. To this end, the group is collectively developing, building and operating its own demonstration plant in Frankfurt am Main over a three-year period (2012 - 2016). The plant converts electricity into hydrogen and then stores this in the gas distribution network. Overall, the partners will invest more than EUR1.5m. The project is financially supported by the Hessian Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. Following the first phase of this project, the partners will consider a second project, in which hydrogen will be generated and combined with carbon dioxide to form synthetic methane to be directly injected and stored in the natural gas grid. For more information see www.energie-und-wende.de."
ITM Power has deployed its PEM Electrolysis P2G plant at the Mainova Aktiengesellschaft site in Schielestrasse, Frankfurt am Main where the compliant gas mixing and grid injection infrastructure designed and built by NRM was already in place. This plant is part of the Thüga Group's Power-to-Gas (P2G) project as previously reported, which was jointly commissioned by 13 partners within the Thüga Group to investigate P2G energy storage. The install also includes a monitoring facility and visitor's reception so that members of the Thüga Group can examine the performance of the plant.
Phil Doran, MD of ITM Power GmbH commented: "ITM Power is delighted to be have performed the first ever injection of hydrogen into the German gas grid using a PEM electrolyser with our partners in the Thüga Group, and look forward to the official commissioning early next year."

Five hydrogen refuelling sites approved for planning on the Isle of Wight
ITM Power, the energy storage and clean fuel company is pleased to announce achievement of planning permission for five hydrogen refuelling sites on the Isle of Wight.
ITM Power has been granted planning permission for an 80kg/day hydrogen refuelling station at four locations and at one for a 15kg/day marine refuelling station. All planning applications submitted on the Isle of Wight have been successful. ITM has chosen two of these sites to take forward for installation of hydrogen refuellers ready for operation in November 2014, as part of the EcoIsland Hydrogen Vehicle Refueller project on the Isle of Wight, supported by funding from the UK's innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board.
The approvals process involved several stages including the identification of candidate sites prior to conducting a detailed survey, preparation of plans together with a Design and Access Planning Statement and liaison with stakeholders including the Isle of Wight Council and the Environment Agency.
The sites surveyed included two owned by Vestas; one being their R&D centre at Stag Lane and the other Monks Brook, one operated by Scotia Gas Networks in East Cowes, and one at the St Cross Business Park, Newport. The marine refueller is to be sited on the dock-side at Cheetah Marine in Ventnor. ITM Power has decided to proceed with the site owned by Scotia Gas Networks, providing an opportunity to further develop commercial links with SGN.
ITM Power sits on three Working Groups of the ISO Technical Committee 197, which has as its stated scope the standardization in the field of systems and devices for the production, storage, transport, measurement and use of hydrogen. Furthermore, ITM Power sits on the British Compressed Gas Association Technical Steering Committees with particular emphasis on Code of Practice 41, which addresses "The Design, Construction, Maintenance and Operation of Filling Stations Providing Gaseous Fuels".
Dr Graham Cooley, Chief Executive of ITM Power, said: "The expertise required to achieve planning permission and satisfy compliance bodies is often underestimated. I am delighted that ITM has been successful in gaining approval to commence the build of two hydrogen refuelling stations on the Isle of Wight. Furthermore, the continued support from the Isle of Wight council and their determination to become a prime location for hydrogen fuel cell vehicle deployment provides a fantastic backdrop to this exciting project."

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2013
Note 1. Basis of Preparation of Half-Year Report
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Accounting Standard AASB 134 is fully compliant with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
Going Concern
Over the life of the Group it has incurred substantial operating losses and is yet to become cashflow positive at an operational level. The Directors are mindful of this and continue to closely monitor the level of the Company's cash resources.
The Group has commercialised its fuel cell technology into products and has begun to make sales, but it has not yet achieved sales and production levels that allow the Group to generate positive operating cashflow or profits. The Company is thus reliant on the further raising of capital (debt or equity) in order to enable it to continue its research and product development and to implement its sales and production strategies.
These factors represent uncertainty about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The Directors have considered these factors and believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis given the following strategies:
Operational and business strategies
The Company continues its focus on increasing the number of sales orders received and intends to produce to order rather than to anticipated sales demand. It also continues to make significant inroads in reducing the cost per unit.
During this reporting period, the Company announced that the Governments in the German states of Saxony and Hesse had established funding programmes to support the deployment and development of mCHP's. These are in addition to the Government of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW)'s funding programme. Whilst uptake of these programmes is often slowed by bureaucracy, it is anticipated that they will assist the Company in meeting its sales targets and will assist in reducing the net price of a BlueGEN unit for the end user.
Management and the Board's recent focus had been to secure orders and deliver and install the products in order to convert these orders into revenue and cashflow. Management and the Board are taking steps to increase sales more quickly by implementing more aggressive marketing and pricing strategies.
The Company continues to take measures to reduce the unit cost of the BlueGEN. These measures include: outsourcing production of components to high quality, lower cost, specialist manufacturers, and undertaking cost-down engineering work.
Financing strategies
The Company has been successful in raising funds in the past and in December 2013 raised $5.8M (GBP3.3M) before expenses via a Share Purchase Plan and an Overseas Offer. A$4.2M (GBP2.4M) of this was received in December and A$1.6M (GBP0.9M) in early January 2014.
The Company was also successful in selling the assets of its UK Powder Plant in December 2013 for GBP1.2M (A$1.9M). The powder produced by the plant was no longer being used by the Company and hence a decision was made to realise a surplus asset. This amount was received in December 2013.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the half-year ended 31 December 2013 (continued)
As previously mentioned, the Company is currently pursuing several funding options to strengthen its balance sheet and to allow it to continue its research and product development programme whilst it implements its sales and production strategies. As advised to the market, the Board has approved a fundraising of at least GBP3 million pounds to occur during March 2014, GBP1 million of which will be contributed by the Company's Chairman, Alasdair Locke. Discussions with prospective parties are significantly advanced and further details of the capital raise will be announced to the market in the near future. This capital raise will require approval by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting. Depending on the amount of capital raised and the success of both the Company's sales programme and its restructuring activities, a further capital raise is likely to be required in the second half of CY2014.
The Heinsberg capital expansion programme is on hold until further capital is raised.
The Managing Director is in the process of restructuring the Company to drive down its costs significantly and to focus on larger volume sales orders rather than individual unit sales. An example of this is the order received from Avilos (referred to previously). Securing sales such as these will assist in reducing inventory and provide working capital to sustain the research and product development activities and to enable the Company to produce to order rather than hold high inventory levels.
