Myatt’s Field CHP plant

Through a competitive tender process, E.ON awarded the contract to recognised CHP supplier, installer and maintenance provider Edina Group.  The scope of supply included the design, supply and installation of the proposed MWM manufactured TCG 2016 V12 natural gas reciprocating engine due to its leading efficiency and performance.  The MWM engine also provides over 650kWt of heat for the district heating scheme and an electrical efficiency in excess of 42% and an overall efficiency of 88%.

The electrical and mechanical drawings supplied by Edina’s Design team were bespoke and the container was purpose built to the clients specification, taking into consideration the technical specification and stringent requirements detailed within the initial tender document.

The ancillaries including exhaust and control panels that were also mounted on skids with final interconnection done on-site.  The engine exhaust system was vertically mounted to minimise the foot print of the equipment and the container was also divided into two sections to accommodate the two week limited access to the submarines opening.  The scheme is designed to accommodate a heat led thermal demand and as such heat rejection is not required.

The location at Myatt’s Field also necessitated an acoustic enclosure for the CHP which was also included in Edina’s design.  E.ON and Edina collaborated closely to bring all these elements together which resulted in a timely and efficient installation, and the CHP engine will be maintained by Edina over a long term service, operation and maintenance contract.
