ESE is the Owner’s Engineer for the construction of a 8 MW cogeneration plant located in Cesano Maderno, Italy. E.ON Connecting Energies is the Owner of the plant, which will deliver electricity, steam and hot water to the Bracco pharmaceutical factory. The plant is composed of a 8 MW Gas Turbine and low-pressure steam Heat Recovery Steam Generator, and will deliver 42 GWh electricity and 88 GWh steam per year.
Mar 2019
ESE has been awarded the contract for troubleshooting of two HRSGs working behind SGT800 Gas Turbines. The HRSGs were encountering multiple shutdowns because of clogged filters, valve problems, pumps vibrations. ESE has been visiting the plant, finding root causes of the problems and recommending solutions to the plant owner.
Feb 2019
ESE has executed the feasibility study for conversion to CSP technology of a 70 MW coal fed plant located in Africa. The feasibility study involved preliminary design, performance estimation, study of CSP integration into the existing plant, cost estimation and business plan assessment of the resulting cost of electricity in different operating scenarios, involving direct steam and molten salt technologies.
Dec 2018
ESE has conducted a feasibility study for a Molten Salt Thermal Storage system for conventional plants. The technology grown in CSP field has been applied to a conventional cogenerative power plant to decouple electrical energy generation from steam generation and to make the plant more flexible. The study included the basic design of the system and the integration with the existing plant, the cost estimation based on budget offers from specialized molten salt equipment suppliers.
Oct 2018
ESE has signed a cooperation agreement with the Slovakian company Intravis, making ESE the exclusive promoter of Intravis gasification technology for the Italian market. Intravis technology gasifies woody biomass and agricultural waste to produce combustible gas, which can then be directed to thermal uses or burnt in an engine to produce electricity.
Jun 2018
ESE has completed the Life Time Extension Assessment of 7 CCPP cogenerative plants of different nominal power between 60 and 1170 MW. The study included site visits, analysis of the report of the suppliers for the most critical equipment and discussion with them, the performance degradation evaluation and finally the identification of the necessary investment for the LTE.
May 2018
ESE has been awarded Owner’s Engineering Services for EPC Contractor selection by NUR Energie, for the MINOS CSP Plant.
