Education: MSc degree in electromechanical engineering from Polytechnic Institute Iași in Romania, 1976.

Professional Background:

  • Project Manager and Chief Engineer at Y.Uspiz electrical motors.

  • Manager of electrical and control department of the National Water Carrier of Mekoroth.

  • Chief engineer of the electrification project of Israel Railway.

  • Chief Electrical Engineer at EAPC.

  • Member of technical committees of the Israel Standards Institution.

  • Member of the High Engineering Board of the SEEEI.

The motives for converting to gas for the establishment of a gas energy center are the regulatory requirement for the Ministry of Environmental Protection's nooks and crannies and the need for energy efficiency and energy expenditure vaccination.

 

The heat center of Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem operates on fuel oil and the only way to maintain the level of knocks as required by the regulator is to use a high-cost emulsion facility.

 

The conversion to cogeneration enables the transition to fuel-friendly, the production of all energy inputs in one place, considerable savings and the renewal of infrastructure.

Roadmap for issuing a tender:

  • Calculation of the electrical power required from the station in order to supply the full energy needs, electricity, heat and cold.

  • Examination of the technical and regulatory implications of a station of this size:

    • Connection to the distribution franchisee.

    • High voltage network connection.

    • The regulation of stations with a power of up to 5MW and the regulation for a station with a power greater than this.

    • Seizure of required land and solution of statutory problems.

  • Examining whether there is an entrepreneurial viability to submit a bid for the tender.

  • Writing the technical chapters for the tender.

  • Writing the legal chapters for the tender - legal advice.

  • Publication.

One of the important issues for the success of the project is the selection of a cognition consultant who among his roles:

  • Weighting energy needs, including consideration of future needs.

  • Introducing the various technologies and application options.

  • Determining the size of the station taking into account the rates of the IDF, determining  Main size and type of equipment.

  • Preparation of techno-economic parameters such as budget assessment.

  • Weighting of operating and maintenance costs.

  • Weighting the sensitivity of the price of electricity and gas to the currency and the price of oil in the world and the impact on the viability of the project.

  • Principled design of the connections to existing systems in the field of electricity, water, cold, steam.

  • Budget estimate, ROI  , Preparation of an economic model, examination of financing options.

2019 - Beyond self-production of energy inputs or third-party consumption.

The benefits of cogeneration

  1. Significant savings.

  2. Beyond fuel and environmentally friendly as required by the Ministry of Environmental Protection 

  3. Production of energy inputs in a concentrated manner - saving / upgrading and diversifying manpower.

  4. Infrastructure renewal in place of expensive and long-term renovation.

Energy center design

Consider:

  • Types of machines: turbine, generator, absorber chiller, hot exchangers, electrical panels, steam boilers

  • The weight of the machines and the dynamic load.

  • Gas and heat emissions.

  • Operational and maintenance constraints.

 

Technical issues and alternatives for the establishment of the center

  • Technical issues are related to the establishment of the Hadassah Energy Center

  • Determining the right mix in terms of equipment type and size.

  • Weighting of operating and maintenance costs.

  • Weighting of financial variables such as currency, price of gas, price of electricity.

  • Principled design of connections and interfaces with Hadassah's old systems.

  • Submission of an appropriate plan for approval by the local authority.

 

Economic issues are related to the establishment of the Hadassah Energy Center

  • Estimation of financial savings resulting from the transition to concentrated production of energy inputs - ROI - in the possible financing methods.

  • Weighting the operational advantage of concentrated production of energy inputs - saving manpower!

  • Choosing the construction method that yields maximum viability - Turn key EPC.

  •   Weighting of operating and maintenance costs.

  • Weighting of financial variables such as currency, price of gas, price of electricity.

  • Examining legal aspects in the case of erecting a structure and transferring it to the developer.

Co-generation as a means of energy efficiency

Nahum Rapoport

Consulting

Israel

In 1967 he graduated from the Polytechnic Institute in Chisinau, a former USSR major in electrical engineering with a specialization in control systems and remote control. In 1997 he moved to gas power turbines to the position of operations engineer, deputy and deputy station manager.

In 2005, he was appointed director of power plants and combined cycle gas turbines and served in this position until his retirement in 2010.

Currently engaged as an independent engineering consultant in the field of gas turbine power plants, combined cycle units and co-generation units. Since 2013, he has also been the head of technology at Bar-Dov Engineering and Management, a company that deals with, among other things, co-generation.

With the entry of Israel into the era of natural gas and the transfer of a large part of the electricity production in the gas operation system, came a second phase of the natural gas revolution in Israel - the phase of decentralized production  Through co-generation. Co-generation is a process that combines electricity generation at the point of consumption using gas turbines or gas engines and heat and / or cold generation using residual heat emitted from the machines that generate electricity. In the case of simultaneous production of cold and heat, the process is called three-generation. The efficiency of co-generation systems may reach 85%, for comparison, the efficiency of the most efficient units of integrated recycling in the country, seawater-cooled units reaches% (57 ÷ 58).  Production in co-generation units instead of power consumption prevents transmission losses.

In Israel, more than 50% of the electricity consumption of home consumers, offices, hotels, hospitals, businesses is consumed by air conditioning systems. Due to the climate in the country most of the air conditioning is cooling. But if the cold water for air conditioning is produced by means of absorption chillers operated by residual heat and not by electric chillers, the power consumption can be significantly reduced.

This is the energy efficiency!

The choice of co-generation facilities depends on many factors and in particular, the needs of each and every consumer. Therefore, before deciding on the size and type of co-generation facility and in particular, the type of facility that operates a generator for power generation, gas engine or gas turbine, a careful analysis of needs must be performed, such as: the amount of electricity consumed by the business, the amount of electricity consumed by Air conditioning systems, electricity consumption profile and air conditioning consumption profile (daily, weekly, monthly, annual), ability to sell electricity and / or cold water for air conditioning to neighboring businesses, etc. In any case, in the design of co-generation facilities, the size of the facility is determined by the residual heat consumption required to produce a suitable amount of cold water for air conditioning, or steam and / or hot water for technological processes, or both cold water and steam and / or hot water in the three-system. Generation.

Example of an approach in choosing the type of facility - Master Plan 3700.

Examples of industrial plants in which it makes economic sense to implement co-generation systems.

Examples of applications of co-generation facilities at sites and civic institutions.

Private electricity producers are required to meet the standards, enable the management of the system by the electricity company and on the other hand provide a solution and service to customers while maximizing efficiency.

The lecture will review the roles of the various players and the systems that take part in the core processes carried out as part of the day-to-day management of a private power plant, and how an appropriate software solution has evolved and developed in light of the accumulated experience of working with different clients over the years.

Among other things, the tools for creating and approving a consumption plan, production plan and receiving a daily loading plan in front of the IEC system management unit, forecasting consumption based on weather forecast, BI capabilities for monitoring and analyzing customer consumption over time and monitoring retrospective accuracy will be described.

In addition, there will be an overview of the production of detailed electricity bills for customers, billing control with the electricity company, work processes with the electricity supplier / marketer, monitoring of equivalent availability, steam production plan, gas orders and alert capabilities and production of reports.

Another issue is interfaces and communication between the systems, such as the reception of share data from the mass department, private superiors that provide current data, interfacing with YMM and interfacing with the station owner's financial systems.

We will conclude the lecture by discussing the following challenges in light of the expected developments in regulation and the market in general.
