The company's presence focuses on the themes of "Natural gas" and "Decentralized power generation" and also represents an invitation to existing and new customers and partners alike to engage in a dialog, as MAN Diesel & Turbo Executive Board Member Dr. Hans-Otto Jeske emphasizes. "Power Gen is one of the most important trade shows for us. Currently many energy markets are undergoing transformation. For this reason alone there is no shortage of exciting topics to discuss." Dr. Jeske explains. 06/2014 1/4 [email protected] www.mandieselturbo.com Press Release Page 2 / 4 "The world is experiencing a natural gas boom," adds Hans-Jürgen Wio, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Power Plants at MAN Diesel & Turbo. The company is therefore presenting its portfolio of natural gas-driven engines and turbines with a number of exhibits. The 35/44G gas engine has a capacity of 10.6 MW and operates at a consistent level of efficiency at loads of between 20 and 100 percent of its nominal output. It can respond very flexibly to load changes and reaches full-load operation in four minutes. The engine is aimed at large industrial consumers as well as power generators and can operate in CHP current-controlled or heat-controlled mode depending on requirements. Steam-combined operation is also possible. It achieves electrical efficiency of 47 percent in combined operation and over 50 percent can be achieved using a MAN Diesel & Turbo steam turbine. Used in CHP mode it can achieve overall efficiency of up to 90 percent. The 18.9 MW output 51/60G gas engine will be available in fall of 2014 and is the largest gas engine currently on the market. "The global market for gas and dual-fuel engines exceeded that for diesel/HFO engines for the first time in 2012," states Hans-Jürgen Wio, outlining the global technology transformation that is currently taking place and which MAN Diesel & Turbo is ideally equipped to meet. "Gas technology has a long tradition at MAN," explains Wio. "Our dual-fuel engines have enabled us to offer our customers complete flexibility in the choice of fuels for many years. We have also launched the currently most powerful straight gas engine in its class in the form of the 35/44G engine. It constitutes the core element of the gas power plant that we are currently building for VW in Braunschweig. 06/2014 2/4 Press Release Page 3 / 4 We will be extending this segment into the 20-megawatt class with the 51/60G later in 2014. We are ideally placed to serve the growing market for gas engineoperated power plants with a capacity of over 100 megawatts." In the gas turbine segment, MAN Diesel & Turbo has developed a new highly efficient family of products from scratch in the form of its MGT series. While the double-shaft MGT6200 turbine is primarily designed as a mechanical drive for compressors, delivering 6.9 MW of output, the single-shaft MGT6100 is intended for industrial power generation. Two largely standardized modules ensure rapid assembly and short service times. When deployed in CHP mode, the turbine achieves overall efficiency of over 80 percent. Both models have cutting-edge combustion chambers using premix technology and achieve extremely low levels of nitrogen oxide emissions. The first customer system has already passed its initial baptism of fire. "The double-shaft MGT6200 turbine has clocked up more than 4,700 hours of operation at the Solvin industrial site in Rheinberg", reports Konstantin Divivier, Head of Process Gases and Gas Turbines. It generates electricity and steam in a highly efficient CHP plant. "The customer is very satisfied and the installation is an important reference for us," according to Divivier. Moreover, the development department has further optimized the "advanced can combustor", ACC for short, which reduces emissions using the principle of premix technology. "We measured nitrogen oxide emissions of below ten ppm in the exhaust gases on our test facility in all operating states between half and full power. That's an outstanding figure," says a pleased Dr. Sven-Hendrik Wiers, Vice President Gas Turbines. 06/2014 3/4 Press Release Page 4 / 4 The steam turbines from MAN Diesel & Turbo play another strong role in the field of renewable energy and decentralized power generation. "Whether the 125 megawatt Shams 1 solar heat power plant in Abu Dhabi, the waste heat generator unit for a Finnfjord AS smelting works in Norway or state-of-the-art waste to energy projects – incoming orders over the last few months give an impressive reflection of how flexibly our range of steam turbines can be used," explains Holger Kube, Sales Director Steam Turbines at MAN Diesel & Turbo. The company is especially well-positioned in the area of thermal waste utilization, with reference projects in Bremen (50 megawatts), Turin (66 megawatts) and London Belvedere (80 megawatts). MAN Diesel & Turbo SE, based in Augsburg, Germany, is the world’s leading provider of large-bore diesel engines and turbo machinery for marine and stationary applications. The company designs two-stroke and four-stroke engines that are manufactured both by the company and by its licensees. The engines have power outputs ranging from 450 kW to 87 MW. MAN Diesel & Turbo also designs and manufactures gas turbines of up to 50 MW, steam turbines of up to 150 MW and compressors with volumetric flows of up to 1.5 million m³/h and pressure levels of up to 1000 bar. The product range is rounded off by turbochargers, propellers, gas engines and chemical reactors. MAN Diesel & Turbo’s range of goods and services includes complete marine propulsion systems, turbo machine units for the oil and gas industry and the process industry, and turnkey power plants. The MAN PrimeServ brand gives customers access to after-sales services across the world. At more than 100 locations around the world, the company employs around 14,500 people, particularly in Germany, Denmark, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, India and China.
