Frerk Hybrid Power

How can we improve the quality of life in metropolitan areas and make our emergency power systems more climate-friendly?


Another component, in addition to exhaust treatment systems as our contribution to environmental protectionis Frerk Hybrid Power, which consists of a natural gas genset in combination with an energy storage system and control system including energy management.  Natural gas burns with particularly low pollutants and has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions and dust pollution of all fossil fuels [1] and is not a substance hazardous to water.   

Thus, we have taken into account two important criteria that play an important role in the decision-making process for the use of power generation plants in metropolitan areas and water protection areas.   

Actual topics in process 

  • Emergency power supply of clinics with a hybrid system consisting of gas genset and energy storage systemtaking into account the applicable regulations for safety power supplies. 
  • Grid service with a hybrid plant with gas genset and energy storage in the UK.   
  • Microgrid system with gas gensets and energy storage system to supply an industrial site in Australia without public grid connection.

Frerk Factory acceptance test online

Online factory acceptance test - unimaginable a year ago!


More than a year ago now, the novel Covid-19 virus broke out and we had no idea how it would affect our work and private environment.

When the first travel restrictions were imposed in the spring of 2020, unanswered questions also arose with regard to our customer service:

  • How can we implement customer acceptance tests if our customer is unable to travel?
  • How can we give our customer a first impression of his new product?

The answer to these questions was quickly found.

If the customer cannot come to us, we bring the test to the customer.

Until then, there had been no experience with an online factory acceptance test.

A visual inspection was performed with a mobile camera and transmitted in real time to our customer in the Caribbean. In order to be able to check not only the engine but also measurement data during the load test, these were presented in an online meeting room for all participants.

During the year, we expanded our equipment to the extent that we are now able to perform online factory acceptance testing with 6 static cameras as well as mobile devices to the complete satisfaction of our customers.

To date, we have completed 22 factory acceptance tests and all customers have been highly satisfied with the implementation and support provided by the Frerk Team. During the acceptance tests, customers from all over the world followed us. The factory acceptance test with the most nations took place for a customer from the oil & gas industry. Participants from Russia, India, United Arab Emirates, USA, England and Germany were present.

In addition, we offered plant tours and quality audits last year, which also met with a good response, and some of our customers have already indicated that they will continue to use online factory acceptance tests in the future.

Despite the positive feedback, we look forward to welcoming our customers back in person in Schweringen soon.

Until then: "stay healthy!" Daniel Quade, Test Field Manager, Frerk Aggregatebau GmbH

Emergency Power Supply

WE HELP GRID OPERATORS TO MAKE GERMANY'S TRANSMISSION GRIDS SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE


Based on the EU Regulation 2017/2196 of 24 November 2017 establishing a network code on electricity emergency and restoration, various transmission system operators have started to equip their substations with emergency generating units to warrant a self-sufficient uninterrupted supply time of at least 72 hours in the event of outage of the MV distribution system.

 

In the course of implementing such measures, we have worked together with various transmission system operators on the specific development of emergency generating units based on diesel generators that take particular account of specific requirements in terms of integrating remote signal exchange, maintenance concepts, regular trial runs etc. Since 2017 we have already produced about 30 units in various output categories and commissioned these on site with the respective operator. More units in high double-digit quantities are currently undergoing production or are in the preliminary planning stage for the next few years. Furthermore, we enter into detailed discussions with the respective operators about individual maintenance concepts and conclude service agreements with warranted on-call standby times etc.

Frerk Power Plant

3.5MW 10KV EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR SET FOR NORTHERN PACIFIC OIL AND GAS PROJECT


Successful Witness Testing during the Corona Pandemic thanks to Remote Accessibility:

Frerk has recently successfully completed and passed a very comprehensive Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of a 3.5MW@10kV-Emergency Diesel Generator Package for an Oil & Gas project in Northern Pacific Ocean.

The particularity of this FAT was that the complete test was performed with remote access for the EPC Contractor and the End-Client since the project engineers could not travel.

The complete tests was utilising Frerk’s web cam, web meeting and connected chat capabilities to witness every aspect of the installation and thus be closely involved with the inspection and acceptance process of the installation.

The complete tests lasted a complete week and among others the following tests were performed:

  • 8 hours 100% full load test
  • Dynamic response test of the generator set; load application and rejection
  • Functional test of the Generator Set Controls including synchronisation and signal interface checks
  • String test of Fire & Gas detection and CO2-extinguishing system
  • String test of all auxiliary systems (i.e. ventilation, fuel supply, redundant pneumatic start and black start simulation)
  • PMI-test of all stainless steel piping & instruments
  • Radiographic examination of weld seams
