perform two essential tasks, the company said. During normal power grid operation, they must support the grid operator
in maintaining quality criteria, such as
power grid voltage and a grid frequency
of 50 Hz. In the event of a power grid
disruption, they must also be capable of
continuously generating power in order
to prevent a power outage.
Our Series 400 and 4000 gas gensets have already been certified, which
means that virtually the entire product

One of the first BDEW-certified diesel
gen-sets from MTU Onsite Energy has
been installed and commissioned in an
industrial bakery in Germany. It is based
on an 18-cylinder Series 2000 diesel engine and delivers 1000 kW. Since midSeptember, the gen-set has been used
as a backup in the event of a power outage for safeguarding the production of
frozen bakery products. It also switches
to grid-parallel operation when power
demand peaks. This occurs at midday,
for example, when production is high
and an uninterrupted flow of power is
needed for lighting, conveyors, refrigerators, the frost plant and for regulation
and control of the baking lines.
To deploy the gen-set for peak power
generation and possibly for operating
reserve at a later date, it had to comply
with the new grid code requirements
set by the BDEW. A

result of more natural gas, coal and nuclear energy consumption that the EIA
said has cut the use of oil in the power
and industrial sectors.
South Korea is estimated to be the second-biggest LNG importer in the world,
after Japan. Natural gas imports have
almost doubled over the past 10 years
with domestic gas production less than
1% of total consumption. The EIA reported that for the past 10 years, more of the
countrys natural gas supply has been
used for power generation and said,
The fuel remains a significant source of
cleaner energy for the country.
Fossil fuel sources account for nearly
two-thirds of South Koreas electricity
generation with nuclear power accounting for about 30%, according to the EIA.
Since 2000, South Koreas power generation has increased by an average of 4%
annually, although more recently this
has fallen to below 2% mainly due to
reduced economic demand and warmer
weather, the EIA said. South Korea is also
expected to increase its nuclear generation capacity.

ny. The huge demand for power that started in the country five years ago
was due to a very low power reserve margin. This meant that grid stability
was very difficult to maintain, thus the government set up a large plan to
quickly add additional power capacity.
Siemens has installed 12 GW of power in South Korea for gas-fuelled power
plants, which represents an over 40% share in the domestic market for CCPPs
powered by E, F and H class gas turbines, according to data from Siemens.
Combined-cycle projects commissioned include the last three CCPP units of
Posco Energy in Incheon, which account for 1260 MW.
The past five years have also marked the switch from F to H class gas
turbines in South Korea, Hagedorn said. Here Siemens has been a trendsetter, as the Dangjin 3 CCPP has been the first plant in South Korea using
an H class gas turbine and the first combined-cycle plant in
Asia to break the 60% net efficiency mark. In total,
Siemens has sold 15 H class gas turbines into
South Korea.
Hagedorn said South Korea imports the
vast majority of its fuel, so the government and EPCs were very concerned
with the efficiency of the power
plants. The switch from F to H class
technology was driven mostly
because the H class offers higher
net efficiency, Hagedorn said.
South Korea power producers
are very focused on efficiency,
to be competitive on the market,
Hagedorn said.
The local power market is structured with a cost margin system,
where the cheapest producer has
an advantage, Hagedorn said. It is of
course
an extremely competitive market.

Seoul, he said.
The power plants under construction are: Units 1 to 4 of
the Jangmoon CCPP by SK E&S, with a total installed power of
1800 MW; the Dangjin 4 CCPP of the power utility GS Electric Power and Services Co. Ltd., with 900 MW power installed; and the Wirye combined heat
and power plant with 450 MW power output, again by SK E&S.
Although the domestic power generation market has been geared
mostly to the construction of large CCPPs, there is some interest in combined heat and power plants (CHP). Hagedorn also noted activity in the
construction of waste-to-energy projects, where Siemens has delivered
steam turbines.
Because of the huge investment the past few years on gas-fuelled power
Diesel & Gas Turbine Worldwide

long with marine, manufacturing and entertainment industries, information technology (IT) has seen significant
growth in South Korea over
the last few years. As such, the need for
reliable standby power has become critical as the region becomes a significant
data center for much of Asia.
Even in the face of current market
uncertainty, this has made the area an
important focus for global power generation system suppliers such as such as
Cummins Power Generation.
While the markets are challenging
today, we see much long-term potential for the Korean power generation
market, said Bong Kim, Cummins Power
Generation sales leader for Cummins
Sales and Service, Korea, the local Cummins Power Generation distributor. For
example, Korea is marked by a high
rate of mobile Internet penetration and
boasts one of the fastest networks in the
world. It also has a stable electric grid
and few natural disasters. As a result, it is
becoming a hub for data centers.
A good example is Busan City, in
which several large data centers have
been created. Among the most recent
is the LG CNS Cloud Datacenter established within the Mieum Industrial
District. Opened in the spring of last
year, the Busan Cloud Datacenter is
one of the largest in Korea at 32 321 m2.

Ultimately, that led to the installation of four 2.25 MW Cummins gen-sets, three 2.0 MW units and one 1.25 MW unit at
Sangam, which led to nine 2.0 MW and three 2.25 MW gen-sets
installed at Gasan Center and Incheon Center, respectively.
We believe that LG CNS confidence in our products and satisfaction with our service has been a principal factor leading to
our strong relationship so far, Jeong Heon-su said.
Cummins generators were verified of their performance a
long time ago, said Kim Yeong-nam, manager of LG CNS Busan
Cloud Datacenters operating team. We use them with confidence. Not to mention the continuous technical support, we
are satisfied with the service and maintenance quality.
Initially, 12 Cummins C2250D6A gen-sets, each rated 2.24 MW,
were installed in Busan Cloud Datacenter, with 16 units eventually planned. Designed for startup within 10 seconds after
power failure, the gen-sets can power all data center functions
within 40 seconds.
We test-operated three generators for 10 hours, said Lee Wucheol, head of the data centers management office. Of course,
the speed was as fast as we had expected. Energy efficiency in
relation to fuel consumption was also high.
The C2250D6A gen-sets are based on the QSK60 diesel engine, a 60V, 16-cylinder turbocharged and low temperature
aftercooled engine with a bore and stroke of 158.8 x 190 mm
and an overall displacement of 60.2 L.
The engine drives a Cummins four-pole, revolving field brushless PMG alternator through a flexible coupling.
