This means extremely high energy efficiency. Companies like Pöyry (formerly known as Ekono), Metso (formerly Tampella), Foster-Wheeler (former Ahlstrom Byropower) and PVO have presented an efficient energy idea. This has not been the idea of the industry only. There are many municipal and city energy companies sharing this idea, too. There have been active people. One of them was Mr. Unto Rytkönen, the former Managing Director of Helsingin Sähkölaitos (Later on Helsinki Energy). It was the year 1991 when I had the honour to meet him. Mr. Rytkönen was more than 90 years old, but he still had a crystal-clear mindset and walked with his own legs to his apartment on the fourth floor. Mr. Rytkönen started as the Managing Director after the Second World War. Mr. Unto Rytkönen told me that it was an exceptional situation, when he went to the main power plant of Helsinki at Suvilahti for the first time during the winter in the end of 1940´s. “There were several long rows of train wagons on tracks, filled with wood.The power plant was by the seaside and there was steam coming up from the sea as the cooling water of the plant. It was a big energy waste.” Mr. Rytkönen said that he decided then that something must be done. The solution was combined heat and power production (CHP). That was also the beginning of large scale burning of coal in Helsinki and other towns of Finland. Times have changed, but efficiency is still the key issue. Coal is not popular anymore. CO 2 free energy production is the issue of this day. There are no CHP solutions for nuclear power plants as of yet. Once properly realised, it will be a big technological step forward in energy efficiency This kind of new idea is growing up in Finland today. RISTO VALKEAPÄÄ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The Copenhagen Summit concluded with – at best – mixed results, but the fight against Climate Change goes on. There is still a strong international consensus that radical greenhouse gas emission reductions are needed in order to mitigate Climate Change. The energy sector is a crucial player in this equation since the industry is the main source of greenhouse gases. Revolutionary changes in the global energy system – which today is mainly based on fossil fuels – are required in order for the sector to be a part of the solution, not the problem. till, this is very much an up-hill battle S as global energy demand is predicted to continue its growth in the coming decades, especially in the developing economies. This growing demand, accompanied by depleting and geographically concentrated fossil fuel resources, will highlight the importance of energy security in the future. In order to tackle some of these challenges, VTT put together Energy Visions 2050 report last year which looks at the issues in depth, focusing on technological and techno-economic perspectives. The report finds that the main global drivers of the energy system are the growth of energy demand due to increasing population and economic output and, on the other hand, challenges linked to energy security and mitigation of Climate Change. Satu Helynen, Technology Director of VTT’s Energy and Pulp & Paper cluster. STUCK ON FOSSIL Globally, the annual growth in primary energy use has been, on average, almost 3% in the beginning of the 21st century. Much of the growth can be traced back to rapidly developing economies, especially China and India. Today, over 80% of the global energy supply is based on fossil energy sources, the most important being oil (35% of global primary energy supply), coal (26%) and natural gas (20%) (IEA 2008). The stabilisation of the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a safe level requires very deep emission reductions in the long term. In addition, the gloenertec 1/2010 7

Page 8

bal CO 2 emissions should peak between 2000–2015, i.e. start declining within the next few years at the latest. The energy sector stands on the 8 enertec 1/2010 threshold of a huge transformation. Principal measures related to meeting the challenges of mitigation and climate change, security of energy supply, as well as economic and environmental challenges, are divided into two categories in the VTT report: there are measures enabled by technology and measures enabled

Page 9

by changes in the structure of consumption. These categories are, however, not independent of each other. The main emPhoto: Tekes/Susanna Lehto phasis in Energy Visions 2050 is on measures enabled by technology, but the report deals with the changes in the structure of consumption to some extent also. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING Satu Helynen, Technology Director from VTT’s Energy and Pulp & Paper cluster observes that for Finns, the changing energy balance will yield plenty of opportunities, not just challenges. “The critical factor for success will be identifying those areas where we can deliver comprehensive solutions to the clients. The global CleanTech market is big and continues to expand and our products are top-quality technology – but this by itself is not enough for the customers.” More efficient technologies with regards to energy conversion and end-use will be developed, and carbon-neutral and low-carbon energy sources (renewable energy sources and nuclear energy) as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies will increase. Helynen notes that implementing CCS, for instance, will become a more attractive alternative as emission rights become more costly. “All major coal plants which are being planned for in Europe are most likely already preparing for CCS.” RETOOLING INFRA Adoption of novel energy technologies from carbon-neutral and low-carbon sources involves challenges and development needs for energy supply systems, e.g. electricity infrastructure including power transmission and distribution. However, the report notes that technological development has considerable inertia; it is typically a slow process. The development of a technology from the laboratory to widespread market penetration can take decades. There are two types of inertial aspects in the case of energy technology. These are, first, the innovation process and, second, the slow penetration to the real energy system. Furthermore, energy technology is often very capital intensive and it is characterised by long life-times of investments. This slows down the changes in the energy sector. The typical life-times of infrastructure investments and buildings are of the order of fifty to a hundred years. The lifetime of hydro and nuclear plants can exceed 50 years, and in the case of fossilfuel-fired plants the lifetime may also be several decades. Industrial plants in energy-intensive industries typically have lifetimes of two decades or more. GREEN LIGHT FOR GREEN ENERGY The coming decades are likely to feature plenty of solar energy projects, even though VTT scenarios predict that solar energy is not likely to catch on until 2040–50. Satu Helynen notes, however, that the big countries are presently investing so much on solar energy research that a scientific breakthrough is possible. “In such as case, commercialisation could follow rather quickly.” Furthermore, Helynen predicts a bright future for bioenergy due to competitive reasons. Especially the Finnish forest sector stands to benefit from this trend: “The forest cluster can increase its green energy revenue considerably from the present. The product portfolio can expand by adding renewable heat and electricity, green gas, bio oil and traffic biofuels.” ? SAMI J. ANTEROINEN enertec 1/2010 9

NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY KEY SPECIALITY AREA VTT Expertise Covers Whole Energy Value Chain VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is the largest organisation in the Nordic countries to carry out applied research and the only one in Europe to offer multidisciplinary, multi-technological expertise over the entire energy value chain from energy raw material to energy consumption. he principles of sustainable developT ment have already guided VTT’s operations for years and they are even more important now that environmental impacts and the use of natural resources must be brought to an absolute minimum. 10 enertec 1/2010 ”Our expertise covers technology forecasting, research and development, and the commercialisation of new technology,” explains Vice President of VTT Rauno Rintamaa. ”By combining different technolo

Page 11

gies, we can provide customers with tailored concepts and solutions that have been assessed from the point of view of climate change, competitive energy production and sustainable development, both locally and globally,” states Rintamaa. Thanks to its broad expertise, VTT is capable of responding to the challenges posed by mitigating climate change and launching adaption measures. These issues cannot be addressed with single actions. ”Our broad, in-depth expertise based on long traditions allows us to turn challenges into opportunities and competitive business.” ”We emphasise a business-oriented approach throughout our operations from strategic planning onwards. We systematically monitor that research also yields results that companies can utilise commercially,” Rintamaa stresses. SPECIALITY AREAS: NUCLEAR, BIO AND WIND ”We have spearhead expertise in nuclear technology, bioenergy and wind power, and the combined heat and power production, CHP using different types of fuels. Our expertise in these areas supports Finnish energy infrastructure and promotes exports.” VTT also develops new process solutions and product concepts for the energy intensive industry that reduce the carbon footprint. ”Energy use and saving technologies have become a new focus area especially in the construction and transportation sector,” adds Rintamaa. ”We already have twenty years of experience in low and zero energy buildings. In the transportation sector, we are currently developing comprehensive road traffic energy and emission solutions, and operation models applicable to Finland,” he points out. In international activities, VTT considers EU cooperation to be the key element. The most important venue is the EU’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan), which accelerates technology development work and entry into markets. At the same time, Europe is the main market area for VTT’s energy expertise and energy technology. ”Close networking with European energy research will broaden our competence base and opens contacts for utilising export opportunities. It also lays a foundation for global cooperation,” Rintamaa concludes. ? enertec 1/2010 11 Photos: VTT

he European Union is committed to T cutting down greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent from the 1990 level by the year 2020. In addition, the share of renewable energy of the EU’s energy consumption should be increased to 20 per cent and in traffic to 10 per cent by 2020. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), emission growth must be stopped in the next few years in order to keep the mean global warming within two degrees in this century. After that, emissions must be globally reduced by 50–85 per cent from the 2000 level by the year 2050. Energy systems have to be changed considerably in the next few decades. The International Energy Agency (IEA) points out that to implement this, more than EUR 10,000 billion will have to be invested in the whole energy sector by the year 2030. This equals less than a half per cent of the GDP of the industrialised countries. DEMONSTRATION PLANTS NECESSARY VTT’s investments in the entire energy value chain have given it a competence base through which it can combine innovations and technologies to develop new solutions. It gains extra leverage from cooperation and networking with Finnish and international – especially European – stakeholders. Its spearhead areas are bioenergy, combined heat and power, next-generation nuclear technology, wind power technology, second generation transportation bio fuels, and modelling and simulation. ”The competence base is created through research, but the export of concepts and solutions requires that they are first demonstrated in Finland. We must prove to the customer that the solution works and show how it is implemented. This calls for financing and the willingness to take risks,” says Mr. Sipilä. One of the six industry initiatives in the EU’s Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) focuses on bioenergy. Backed up by a budget of EUR 8 billion, the initiative was presented in Brussels at the end of June 2009. Sipilä believes that this will speed up demonstration. ”The focus in the bioenergy initiative lies in demonstrating the new technology. We intend to establish as many plants in Finland as possible,” he explains. CUSTOMISED TECHNOLOGY PACKAGES Wood-based fuels were already introduced in the combined heat and power production in the industrial sector and communities in Finland decades ago. Currently 70 75 per cent of all bioenergy is derived from forest industry by-products. ”After all, Finland is the only country that has long traditions in this so we are at least 20 – 30 years ahead of others in terms of expertise and technology concerning the broad use of biomass,” says Technology Director Satu Helynen. ”There is currently a global demand for concepts and entire solutions. The share of expertise of exports is increasing. Having expertise in plant design, construction and operation is no longer enough if you want to succeed,” notes Helynen. ”Our most important competitive asset is that we can combine and parcel technologies exactly according to customers’ needs and the operating environment. This opens up new market opportunities.” SMALLER BIOENERGY PLANTS TO BE ADOPTED Large bioenergy plants have been constructed in Finland and Europe, most of them for the forest industry. Some of the plants will be refurbished in the next few years, or converted to manufacture second generation transportation biofuels, which requires a large plant size in order for the production to be profitable. However, the small heat loads required by the combined heat and power production are readily available and unexploited in sawmills, board-making plants and communities in Finland and Europe. ”We are now expecting the wave of small bioenergy plants. Smaller plant size and the introduction of stricter emission norms place technological challenges, but we are prepared to respond to them,” says Helynen. VTT is collaborating with companies in order to develop grate furnaces for even more complex fuels, such as agro biomass. ”Fluidised-bed boilers, which are traditionally several dozens or hundreds of megawatts, will soon reach the 10-20 megawatt category and their exports will increase dramatically,” Helynen estimates. ”Bioenergy is gradually being adopted in engine technology, too, and also step-by-step in fuel cell plants.” VTT and Finnish stakeholders are also engaged in an EU project launched in Spain, in which the aim is to construct a power plant for demonstrating carbon capture and storage. ? enertec 1/2010 13

ind power is one of the fastest growW ing areas of power production globally, contributing to the mitigation of climate change and diversification of energy supply. Wind power capacity worldwide increased more than 29% in 2008. In Europe, for instance, the projected annual growth in wind power production is around 10 percent – and there is more emphasis on wind power than on any other form of power production right now. Customer Manager Esa Peltola from VTT Energy Systems (Wind Energy) says that the new trend in European wind power is offshore: half of the new wind power parks are set up at sea. “Europe is the forerunner in offshore, both in technology and its utilisation – and will remain on top,” Peltola believes. The annual growth for offshore wind power capacity is projected at staggering 50% – although, Peltola admits that the offshore operations are still small-scale ventures. In shallow coastal areas, “artificial islands” can be used as platforms for wind power parks, but when it comes to more demanding offshore, other solutions are required: “At present, one important question is how to set up infrastructure that supports the launch of offshore operations,” Peltola says. GROUND ZERO In the new decade, the use of wind for electricity generation is likely to emerge more and more in Finland also – right now, wind generation barely makes a dent at the national electric demand at 0.3%. However, the national target – proposed in the climate and energy strategy of 2008 – is 2,000 MW of wind power in 2020. This would bring the share of wind power to 6%. A number of Finnish companies have distinguished themselves in the global markets. The Finnish manufacturer WinWinD, enertec 1/2010 17

Page 18

for example, presented its first 1-MW pilot plant in spring of 2001 and its first 3 MW pilot in November 2004. Since then Winwind has delivered 1 and 3 MW turbines to customers both in Finland and countries like Sweden, Estonia, France, Czech Republic and Portugal. In addition, several industrial enterprises have developed significant business operations as supplier of major components for wind turbines. For example, Moventas is the largest independent manufacturer of gears and mechanical drives for wind turbines, and such companies as ABB Oy, The Switch and Alstom Finland have plenty of expertise in the field as well. Put all together, the turnover of the wind power industry is around one billion euro. According to Peltola, there are new opportunities emerging that for example the marine cluster could explore: “The shipyards could develop offshore wind power,” he says, adding that seaborne wind power is very much a Northern affair, with countries such as Denmark and UK leading the way. MODEL EXCELLENCE The focus area for VTT has been developing wind power technologies and solutions 18 enertec 1/2010 for cold climate. To this end, the organisation has developed versatile modelling expertise from wind to electricity. VTT is also developing solutions enabling innovative control functions for future wind turbines based on new materials and their application in wind turbines. The core of VTT “wind power team” consists of 15 people, with strong networking to the wide expertise within the organisation. Peltola is a veteran in the field, having written his thesis on wind power already in 1982. One on-going challenge is finding solutions to cope with the harsh Nordic environment. Peltola has served as the coordinator for the international project ‘Wind energy in cold climates’ which was started in 2001. “In Scandinavia, Central Europe, North America and Russia, for instance, there are an increasing number of projects planned for cold areas.” Finland started cold climate wind power research already in the 1990’s. As the size of wind power plants keeps increasing, freezing is becoming a bigger threat. “The technology has to offer high performance also during cold conditions. There are still a lot of opportunities to be explored in the field.” WANTED: TOUGH TECH Also, the wind power parks are gradually moving to more challenging areas. In the first phase, the parks would take over flat areas in moderate climates, but the conditions are getting more extreme all the time. At present, the Finnish wind power related exports total around € 1,000 million, but the industry roadmap suggests that that figure could be up to € 10–12 billion by 2020. Right now, there are a couple of thousand people working in the field, but by 2020 the number of industry employees could be 18,000. Peltola agrees with the assessment that wind power exports feature great potential which is still waiting to be tapped. Wind power has taken off globally which means that there are markets just about anywhere. “Of course, new innovations are constantly needed. Logistical challenges, for example, will continue to grow,” Peltola says, pointing out that the plants are already extremely large and demanding structures. ? SAMI J. ANTEROINEN

WinWinD: Arctic Expertise n November 2009, the biggest wind turbine in I Finland to date was handed over to the customer. WinWinD delivered a three megawatt wind turbine to energy company St1 in Pori Tahkoluoto, Finland. The WWD-3 turbine is the highest wind turbine built in Finland. Both the hub height and the rotor diameter are 100 metres. The estimated production is approximately 8,000 MWh per year. “The usability of the wind turbine so far is excellent and the customer is satisfied with the turbine operation – as are we,” says Jari Varjotie, director responsible for WinWinD’s operations in Europe. In September, WinWinD was involved in another exciting Nordic delivery as the first three megawatt arctic wind turbines in the world were erected on a fell in Uljabuouda, Swedish Lapland. “We will have a total of ten 3 MW wind turbines set up by the autumn 2010,” Varjotie adds. The WWD-3 wind turbines have been equipped with the WinWinD ice prevention system which safeguards the optimal performance of the blades. Thanks to heating, the number of downtime days due to icing of turbines can be substantially reduced. The first truly arctic wind park was realised in cooperation with VTT. Sweden is important to WinWinD in other respects as well. At the end of January it was announced that WinWinD has set up offices in Stockholm and Karlstad with the launch of WinWinD Sweden AB. WinWinD is the leading supplier of 1 MW and 3 MW turbines in the Swedish market and has sold 87 MW to Swedish customers, among others the Vänern Wind Park which boasts the best producing wind turbines in Sweden. ?

he Keljonlahti power plant in JyväskyT lä will utilise modern CHP (Combined Heat and Power) technology, cogenerating district heating power and electricity in the same process. This means that the steam procuced by the district heating process is used to generate electricity for household and industrial use. In Finland, it is not uncommon for power plants to utilise CHP technology. Currently, almost 80 percent of all district heating power comes from the thermal energy generated in electricity production processes. At Keljonlahti bioenergy plant, close to 90 percent of the wood and peat fuels used for combustion can be utilised for energy. This makes for very good process efficiency. ELECTRICAL FILTER TO REDUCE EMISSIONS The power output of the Keljonlahti plant is approximately 200 MW (megawatts) of district heating power and 210 MW of electricity. Consequently, the new plant equals 1.5 times the power output of Jyväskylä’s older power plant at Rauhalahti. In the course of the year 2009, the final process equipment installations were carried out at the Keljonlahti plant’s boiler building and turbine hall. The first test runs of the plant were started in autumn 2009. They incorporated district heating process tests with the utilisation of peat fuel. The first electricity generation tests are to begin in February 2010. According to schedule, the plant is expected to be inaugurated for commercial use in April 2010. Once the plant is being run at full power, it will require between 120 and 150 truckloads of bioenergy fuel – wood and peat – every day. Later on, part of the fuel supplies will be delivered to the plant by rail transport. According to Jyväskylä Energy, the CHP process utilised at the Keljonlahti power plant has been engineered to conform to stringent environmental standards. The plant is equipped with an electrical filter designed for the cleaning process of chimney gases. The plant’s chimney is 130 metres in height. Keljonlahti bioenergy plant’s emissions are being continuously monitored. The maximum emissions will be 1,150 tons of sulphur dioxide, 860 tons of nitrogen oxides, 170 tons of particles and 1,070,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. ?

36 enertec 1/2010 Nuclear CHP – Back in Business PÖYRY STUDIES NUCLEAR DISTRICT HEAT CHP INCREASES THE EFFICIENCY OF NUCLEAR POWER PRODUCTION DRAMATICALLY “This would be a historical step towards the higher efficiency of nuclear power when realised. This is nuclear CHP,” says Kari Kuisma, President of Pöyry Finland Oy, Energy. He is referring to the combination of nuclear power and combined heat and power production. Finland has a long experience regarding CHP and the City of Helsinki has been one of the forerunners in this technology. Kari Kuisma, President of Pöyry Finland Oy, Energy. Photo: Risto Valkeapää

Page 37

öyry has been involved in designing P thousands of megawatts of CHP capacity for industries and utilities in Europe during the past decades. Pöyry also has over 40 years of experience in nuclear energy worldwide. Pöyry´s competence centres of nuclear power are located in Zürich, Switzerland (main office); in Helsinki, Finland; London (Horsham), UK and Mannheim, Germany. Pöyry has composed a study for Fortum, one of the major Scandinavian Utilities companies, about the utilisation of nuclear power generation in production of district heating. The study revealed that nuclear power is the most cost-efficient option for reducing emissions in the Helsinki metropolitan area in 2020-2080. At Fortum’s request, Pöyry has carried out a study of the environmental impacts, technical feasibility and profitability of nuclear district heating in the Helsinki metropolitan area. District heat would be produced at the planned Loviisa 3 nuclear power plant unit and transferred to the Helsinki metropolitan area. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING By utilising the district heat produced by Loviisa 3, Finland could reduce 4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year and cover a large part of its emissions reduction obligations without public financing. This is an unprecedented opportunity for the players in the Helsinki metropolitan area to resolve their energy and climate challenges in a profitable manner. The study indicates that nuclear district heat is the most cost-efficient way to reduce the Helsinki metropolitan area’s carbon dioxide emissions from heat and power production after 2020. The Pöyry study compared three alternative scenarios for producing district heat for the Helsinki metropolitan area: A coal scenario based on the current production structure, a biomass-based bio-scenario and a nuclearbased district heat scenario with to alternative DH supply capacities. In the nuclear district heat scenario, the analysis approach chosen was that the Loviisa 3 nuclear power plant unit is realised using the so-called ‘Mankala principle,’ i.e. as a company that sells the electricity and heat it produces to its shareholders at cost. District heat is transferred to the Helsinki metropolitan area via a ca. 100-kilometre-long transfer pipeline, and the heat is distributed to the Helsinki metropolitan area’s district heat network at several different connection points. Construction of the pipeline network would take about five years and is timed for 2014–2019. NUCLEAR DISTRICT HEAT: MOST COST-EFFICIENT AND ECO-FRIENDLY The Pöyry study indicates that the nuclear district heat option would provide the biggest decrease in carbon dioxide emissions. In the nuclear district heat scenario, the Helsinki metropolitan area’s post-2020 carbon dioxide emissions from energy production would be about 60–75% less than in 1990, and other emissions in the Helsinki metropolitan area would also decrease significantly. If the nuclear district heat option is realised, Finland’s carbon dioxide emissions would decrease by about 4.0– 4.5 million tonnes per year, i.e. by about 6-7 per cent. The study found the nuclear district heat scenario to be also the most financially lucrative option. In the bio-scenario, heat production costs, including the needed infrastructure investments, decrease by 7 EUR/MWh and in the nuclear district heat scenario by 18–26 EUR/MWh, compared to the coal scenario. PRODUCING NUCLEAR DISTRICT HEAT Loviisa 3 can be designed to allow for combined heat and power production. The district heat solution can be realised in both a boiling water reactor and a pressurised water reactor. The location in the vicinity of the Helsinki metropolitan area offers possibilities for extensive utilisation of district heat. Today, the district heat for the Helsinki metropolitan area is produced by coal and natural gas fired power plants requiring modernisation decisions in the 2020s. The timing of the new nuclear power unit together with the district heat option would create a solution for replacing the ageing fossil fuel power plants. The district heat would be transferred to the Helsinki metropolitan area along pipes placed either in a tunnel in the bedrock or in an excavation done from the ground surface. For the production of district heat a separate, closed district circuit is created. The district heat water is warmed to about 120 degrees C° by using steam from the turbine. The water is pumped to the Helsinki metropolitan area where the district heat circuit is connected to the local district heat network. The water is about 60 degrees C° when it returns to the power plant where the process restarts. The district heat circuit is separated from the reactor circuit by two physical barriers. There is no direct contact with radiation, making it easier to secure public acceptance for the solution. “Nuclear district heat option to supply district heat to Helsinki metropolitan area was studied for the first time already in the 1970’s, prior to construction of Fortum’s Loviisa 1 and Loviisa 2 Nuclear units, so for us, there is no rocket science behind the idea,” says Kari Kuisma. “The environmental requirements and particularly the requirement to decrease carbon dioxide emissions have, however, brought the exciting idea of a Nuclear CHP back to the business,” he concludes. ?

Finland Has Existing Infrastructure for Nuclear Power ALL PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT CAPABLE OF MEETING SAFETY STANDARDS Three new nuclear reactors are planned for construction in Finland. Teollisuuden Voima Oy (TVO), Fortum and Fennovoima have completed a comprehensive preparation stage for the licensing process. This process has harmonised the views of candidate reactor suppliers and customers, thereby hopefully reducing the attendant risks of the implementation schedule. inland’s Radiation and Nuclear Safety F Authority (STUK) has issued an opinion on the environmental impact assessment programmes and reports of the projects, and on land-use planning for facilities. The preliminary safety assessment by STUK found no safety obstacles to proceeding with the projects, and the Authority confirmed that all of the new units can be constructed to operate safely. STUK Director General Jukka Laaksonen explains that rather few options remained when the time came to decide the future of Olkiluoto 3. “Now we have more good options, including the already approved capacity of the Areva EPR,” he says.

actor of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, and this company is currently developing an export version as part of a supply contract with the United Arab Emirates, whereas AtomStroyExport is currently building 1,200 MW pressurised water reactors in Russia. TVO and Fortum are studying the Korean design, while Fortum is examining the Russian version in Loviisa, Finland. STUK has evaluated a total of seven reactor options, of which three (ABWR, ESBWR and Kerena) are boiling water reactors, and the remaining four (AES2006, APR1400, APWR and EPR) are pressurised water reactors. Each reactor option’s primary safety systems have been assured using systems that comply with the Basic Safety Principle. Key requirements include the ability of the plant to withstand aircraft collisions, the reliability of automation systems, and severe accident management for nuclear reactors. First pressurised water accumulator delivered by Japrotek Oy Ab from Finland lifted inside the reactor building on November 5, 2008. The delivery of Japrotek includes four accumulators.

Laaksonen personally spends more than one hundred days a year travelling. He is involved in the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and serves as a safety consultant to the government of the United Arab Emirates in its nuclear power project. “The UAE opted for the Korean reactor supplier. Its competitor was the French company Areva, which is supplying the reactor in Olkiluoto. The project has a very ambitious schedule. Usually it takes about 14 to 15 years to complete as demanding a project as a nuclear power plant installation, but in the UAE they are seeking to get the job done in 10 to 12 years,” he says. Finland has used nuclear energy for a long time, and therefore has a developed nuclear power infrastructure. Photo: TVO “A nuclear power infrastructure is under construction in the United Arab Emirates, and the IAEA is also playing an active role in matters of infrastructure,” Laaksonen adds. OLD PLANT SITES AND A GREENFIELD PROJECT The old nuclear power companies in Finland, TVO and Fortum, are seeking a decision-in-principle from the Finnish government for their existing plant sites, while the new operator Fennovoima seeks per

Page 41

mission for an entirely new nuclear power plant construction site in either Simo or Pyhäjoki in Northern Finland. “STUK evaluated both the existing and new plant sites according to the same criteria,” Laaksonen says. The general principle is to locate nuclear power plants in sparsely populated areas in order to focus the planning of emergency measures on a smaller population group, thereby enabling more rapid implementation than in major population centres. Each site option in Finland has special characteristics that can be considered in technical and emergency planning, so that the facility causes no danger to human life, property or the environment. STUK ALREADY INVOLVED IN A FEASIBILITY STUDY The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority became involved in the project in the middle of 2007 when all of the companies planning the new facilities invited the Authority to negotiate with reactor suppliers and investigate how various reactor types are suited to the prevailing conditions in Finland. Laaksonen feels that the involvement of the safety authority in feasibility studies has proved useful. “During the feasibility discussions STUK studied the safety solutions of various reactor options and their design principles, while the reactor suppliers became familiar with Finnish nuclear safety requirements and official practices.” ? enertec 1/2010 41

he new power plant will generate procT ess heat as well as electricity for UPM’s Kaukas mills, as well as electricity and district heating for the city of Lappeenranta. Construction work at the building site was started in 2007. The plant started producing energy in September 2009 and was taken into commercial use in November 2009, even though some of the test runs have been continued until early 2010. LONG-TERM PROJECT In addition to forestry residues and other wood materials, the plant utilises peat, natural gas, heating oil, sludge from sew44 enertec 1/2010 age treatment plant and plywood board residues as fuel. “A new power plant for the UPM Kaukas paper & pulp mill in Lappeenranta has been on the drawing board for quite a long time,” says Mr. Jukka Kiuru, Plant Manager for Pohjolan Voima Oy (PVO). “In the first designs, UPM would either have had sole ownership of the plant or would have co-owned it with varying cooperative partners. In 2005, the present model – where UPM has joint ownership with PVO and the local municipal energy company Lappeenranta Energy – started to take shape.” The project has been carried out by a separate company, Kaukas Voima. It is owned by PVO (with 54 percent of shares) and Lappeenranta Energy (with 46 percent). UPM in turn owns part of Pohjolan Voima. A major producer of electricity and heat, PVO is a privately owned group of energy companies. EFFECTIVE DISTRICT HEATING According to Mr. Kiuru, PVO has participated in the engineering design of the Kaukas power plant right from the outset. “Previously, PVO has been involved in several other UPM’s plant projects. They have included the construction of power

plants for Kymi Power, Rauma Power, Ahlholmens Kraft, Wisapower, Ristiina, and Savonlinna, among others,” he recounts. “The Kaukas bioenergy plant will produce approximately 110 MW of district heating power for Lappeenranta Energy. It is even possible to produce all the district heating needed in the city if the outside temperature remains above –5 °C.” “Furthermore, the plant has the capacity to produce 125 MW of electricity when needed.” The total budget of the Kaukas power plant investment was 244 million euros. “It seems that the final costs will remain a few million euros below the budget figure,” Kiuru notes. 46 enertec 1/2010 “The plant is equipped with fairly conservative technology. The turbine and steam distribution systems are exceptionally complex, enabling the plant to be run in several different modes. The chimney gases are cleaned by two electrical filters.” The new power plant will replace the 30-year old steam power unit of Kaukas mills and majority of the energy-generation capacity of Lappeenranta Heating Power Oy’s Mertaniemi power plant. The old Mertaniemi natural gas power plant will remain as a back-up power station to balance load peaks. “Overall, constructing the best power plant in the world has been a challenging project,” Kiuru proudly points out.

Working Together Really Does Yield Results Foster Wheeler’s 385 MWth CFB boiler island supplied to Kaukaan Voima in Finland started commercial operation at the end of December 2009, following project schedule. U PM’s Kaukas site in southeast Finland is one of the company’s largest facilities, with output that includes some 580,000 t/a of coated paper and 720,000 t/a of bleached softwood and birch chemical pulp – all of which adds up to a sizeable requirement for steam and electricity. The company realized some time ago that its then existing generating capacity, which included a small grate-fired boiler retrofitted by Foster Wheeler for fluidized bed combustion in the 1990s, was simply insufficient. It was also keen to make local use of the dozens of truckloads of woodbased residues that were being hauled off site on a regular basis for use as fuel elsewhere. At the same time, the local municipal energy utility, Lappeenrannan Energia, was facing a similar problem of its own. As existing plant was reaching the end of its useful life, the utility needed new, modern capacity to supply local district heat and electricity needs and wanted an alternative to the natural gas that it had been using. The two companies’ problems were 50 enertec 1/2010 The 385 MWth/125 MWe boiler island supplied by Foster Wheeler delivers a comprehensive range of performance- and emissions-related benefits thanks to its advanced CFB design. The plant is operated remotely from UPM’s pulp mill. resolved by the decision to opt for one solution capable of meeting both their needs. A joint company was formed, Kaukaan Voima, and the search was started for the technology and the supplier to provide the heart of the new plant. Given the nature of the proposed fuel mix – biomass-based sidestreams from the site and residues from forest harvesting, together with a small quantity of peat – the selection process focused on fluidized bed combustion. Foster Wheeler had handed over a large bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler to another UPM mill not all that far away, at Jämsänkoski, in May 2002, and the success of this project, together with the benefits of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) design from the world’s largest supplier of this type of boiler, swung the decision behind Foster Wheeler and CFB for Kaukaan Voima. The order was placed for a 385 MWth/125 MWe CFB boiler island at the end of April 2007. The design specified a number of advanced features, including Intrex superheaters for safe firing and high steam temperatures, providing good loadfollowing capabilities and turndown ratios to accommodate temporary or seasonal changes in steam or district heat needs, together with industry-leading low emissions of course. The project came at a busy time for Foster Wheeler Energia in Finland, as it won a contract for a 200 MWe CFB boiler island for a combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Jyväskylä around the same time, as well as one for a 240 MWth CFB boiler island for a CHP unit near Stockholm in Sweden, among other projects. Despite this, progress on the Kaukaan Voima project moved ahead rapidly, according to Foster Wheeler’s Project Manager Matti Nikkilä. In fact, so well did the project go – even despite a last-minute change to the location of the stack to meet local air traffic control concerns – that completion has been achieved according to the schedule and handover to the customer is now set for February 2010. ?
