WHAT THEY’RE SHOWING AT ALL-ENERGY 2013
We ask our All-Energy exhibitors – what are you showing? Why is it newsworthy? Who is it of use to? What else will you be showing? What else would you like to tell us about your company? As you will discover, some want to tell us a lot; some manage in a few lines. This preview will be regularly updated right up until show time, so keep coming back! There is a wide selection of jpegs available from Judith Patten – judithpatten@jppr.uk.com
40South Energy will present their current commercial model, the R115 wave energy converter, available in 100kW (R115/100kW) and 150kW (R115/150kW) power levels. This wave energy converter has been developed during 2012 on the basis of the many results of the tests performed on the previous prototypes. Since the end of the last year they have successfully tested the R115 power train at full scale in their tank.
The R115 model is a relatively small device. It comprises two parts (Upper Member and
Lower member), both underwater; the relative motion between them is converted directly into electricity within the machine. Two gravity bases form the mooring, on opposite sides with respect to the machine. 
 Their Wave Energy Converter is designed to be able to vary dynamically and automatically its depth in response to any changes in sea conditions. This makes preliminary testing at the specific installation site unnecessary: you can ship the same equipment to any site, confident that it will always operate within its specified operational limits.
The fact of being completely underwater with automatic depth control means that the Wave
Energy Converter is unaffected by even the harshest conditions, has very high efficiency, is self-adjustable in real time to the sea conditions, poses no threat to navigation, has a negligible environmental impact and its maintenance can be performed on the surface.
The R115 models function in both grid disconnected and grid connected (utility scale) applications.
They say that, unlike those of their competitors, their technology is already demonstrating economically sustainability and profitability as a financial investment. This is possible thanks to the innovative design and to the brilliant engineered solutions that allow low costs of production, installation and maintenance and a high capacity factor.
One of the weak points for marine energy installations is traditionally their very high
Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), namely the final cost per kilowatt-hour of the energy produced, taking into account capital and operational costs. This high LCOE is due to three factors: high capital costs, high operational costs and relatively low capacity factor.
The machines from 40South Energy solve this problem, operating on all three factors above.
The capital cost of their machines is very low (in the region of 2.5 euros per nominal watt of power, in typical sites). This compares with capital costs of 4 euros per nominal watt for offshore wind, and 6-8 euros per nominal watt for other marine energy technologies. 
 The competing marine technologies have very big limitations in terms of operations and maintenance: offshore wind needs to be maintained on site, while wave devices typically need to be towed to a port to carry out maintenance. Some of the most advanced tidal technologies allow for part of the maintenance to be carried out by replacing the parts with spares and doing the actual work on shore without bringing everything away, but this is limited to smaller components like generators, not the bigger structural parts.
The 40South Energy machines instead concentrate all the moving parts in four easily replaceable TEP modules (Transmission, Electronics and Power). This removal is done on the surface, without the need for special purpose boats. The O&M cost for the machines is thus reduced to an almost negligible level, with a very significant positive impact on the
1

LCOE. Regarding capacity factor, 40South Energy conducted extensive tests offshore of full scale devices during 2010 and 2011. This allowed for a co mplete validation of the “wave to wire” computer model that the company uses to forecast the behaviour of the machines. An initial calibration with tank tests was done during 2009, through collaboration with the
University of Roma 3 in Italy. With the model calibrated at full scale, it is now possible to simulate the machines in any sea state, to compile a “Power matrix” for any given type of wave distribution. This in turn allows for the computation of estimated capacity factors for any site where statistical data for recurrence of waves are available. Using this method
40South Energy computed the Power matrix for the R115/150kW machine, and extrapolated the capacity factor at many sites around the world. The numbers that come out are at or above the levels which can be reached with offshore wind turbines at the same locations.
The applications of their technology are numerous: in-grid connected as well as in off-grid
Parks, in front of harbours that adopt cold ironing to supply clean and cheap energy to 
 the ships at berth, in association with desalinisation plants, among others, and the range of projects sizes is significant, from 150kW to several Megawatts, from centralized (utility scale) generation to distributed (community scale) generation.
Their technology mainly addresses the following categories:
1) Utilities. Being marine, underwater and if needed nearshore, their devices allow the installation of (potentially very large) utility scale renewable energy parks in places not accessible to the other renewable energy technologies: PV and onshore wind have important constraints with respect to land use and a significant environmental impact, while offshore wind plants have very high costs of installation and a complicated and expensive maintenance and support system. Their technology allows for the deployment of very large scale (up to gigawatts) Wave Energy Parks close to the main loads (main coastal cities or factories) with basically no lead-time, except for the time needed to lay the (typically short) cable to shore. No other renewable source can match that.
2) Communities. Wave Energy is the perfect choice for distributed generation of electricity on a community scale. Distributed wave energy generation makes cheap and renewable energy immediately available to more isolated communities, which are beyond the reach of the high voltage grid. Moreover the presence of a Wave Energy Park will provide advantages to the local fishing community because it will share its goals: a healthy local economy, good employment level for people going at sea, secure and regulated access to the sea resources, effective and useful monitoring of the sea. The community can own the Wave
Energy Park, and operate it for its own good bringing cash and employment based on a local energy resource.
3) Entrepreneurs. This segment is transverse to those mentioned above. An entrepreneur may be interested in managing a Wave Energy Park (the infrastructure hosting wave energy converters), which supports the energy production and is sizable from 100kW to several
Megawatts. The WEP lends itself perfectly to the franchise model. The task of one entrepreneur willing to exploit this opportunity is to select the best site, to complete the consenting process and to get a solid power purchase agreement (PPA). The main part of the capital requirements, which are associated to the wave energy converters themselves, will be provided by third parties. This approach leverages local economic resources and allows for the Wave Energy Park to be “bootstrapped” from limited resources and to grow in a self-sustainable way.
4) Financial institutions. As investment in a Wave Energy Park is uncorrelated (in terms of risk) to other investments, a lender may be interested in investing in this type of project to diversify its risk portfolio. The scale of investment is flexible, from micro scale (microcredit to
2

a community installing one 100kW machine) to large scale (a Utility installing tens or hundreds of megawatts inside a Wave Energy Park in front of a major city).
5) Insurance companies. An insurance company can be interested in ensuring their products; also in this case because their risk is uncorrelated to most of the other ones.
Average wave energy levels over time are also a mispriced risk, given their rather low variation year over year, and this opens up a business opportunity for insurers, which is furthermore not linked to any specific technology.
40South Energy is developing a business model particularly suitable to capitalise on wave energy potential . This model is linked to a “Wave Energy Park”, or WEP. The WEP lends itself perfectly to the franchise model.
A WEP is a very simple structure consisting of a consented sea area, an electrical cable reaching the user of the electricity, a user-side electrical interface and a light local support infrastructure.
The two main prime movers of the model, quite distinct from one another, are the WEP owner and the machine owners. This separation is crucial because it permits the standardization of the product “R115 machine” (and the other ones which will be produced), with no risk related to the peculiarities of the single site.
Investors interested in a pooled set of projects across different WEPs will have to do just one technology due diligence. This will allow involving even large financial institutions and will open up a huge opportunity for communities blessed with high energy and interested in handling the WEPs. www.40southenergy.com
Acksen Ltd , the manufacturer of the popular Electrocorder Data Logger product suite, will be launching the addition of a number of new Test and Measurement Data Loggers for the renewables market. These new DC data loggers will record patterns of directional flow of energy, onsite solar irradiance, charging circuits, photovoltaic cells, DC Motors and much more.
With solar PV installations increasing in many countries and the realisation that the old myths around the technology as expensive and uncompetitive are being disproved, attention for many now has turned to the on-going efficiencies of modules and if they are delivering what they set out to.
Until recently solar installations primarily involved a site survey which took into consideration irradiation at the site; now consumers are asking about on-going efficiencies of the modules based on irritation and power generation over time; how much energy is the site consuming and when is it exporting to the grid, this is of particular interest to many industrial and domestic consumers, particularly as part of on-going energy audits and responsibilities around carbon reduction.
The new Electrocorder Products for Renewables include the PV-3 for measuring Solar
Irradiance and Solar Panel output energy will record minimum, average and maximum irradiance 0-1500m-2; the RE-2VAD will additionally measure the directional flow of energy generated, whether it is being imported or exported to the grid.
The SR-1R is a solar irradiation logger for use in proposed installation sites and the DC-3VA is perfect for measuring the energy output of a solar panel, this product is also often used in the measurement of charging battery cells. The Electrocorder product range is renowned for its simplicity and accuracy in recording data over set periods of time alongside top quality
Electrosoft software for data analysis. The memory capacity of the data loggers is 32,000
3

TRMS voltage values per channel (10 bit) which can give up to 300 days of continuous recording (depending on set up criteria).
The advantage of Electrocorder products over most others is that the Loggers constantly sample information recording the minimum, maximum and average over the set period; many other products available on the market only take ‘snap shots’ of what is going on and can miss 99.9% of the data that is critical to analysis. The company ethos is to provide easy to use electrical measurement equipment with excellent software analysis at a conservative cost; all products are backed up with a 12 month back to base warranty and on-going software support with free licencing for multiple users.
Consumers around the world become more aware of the economic benefits of Solar PV as a solid renewable energy source, the level of electricity being generated is constantly on the rise “Record amounts of electricity are being fed into the grid from photovoltaic’s, supplying
10% of Germanys electricity required in May alone” said Martin Green in an exclusive interview for PV Magazine June 2012.
The International Energy Agency Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme have reported of the 22 participating countries Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, France,
Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, there has been an average 77% increase on cumulative installed capacity since 2010, this represented some 61311 MW cumulatively in 2011.
The UK saw the largest percentage increase (1168%) on 2010 having PV installations of
899MW in 2011 giving a cumulative installed capacity of 976MW. Given this dramatic increase in the local market, Acksen have experienced a driving need from customers who have turned to the company looking for solutions based on their extensive reputation and experience in producing tools for the measurement of Voltage and Current, particularly in the
Voltage Optimisation Sector.
Speaking at the launch of the product suite, Managing Director Keith Stafford said: “This is a natural progression for our product development, we were confident from the outset that we could deliver what the market needed. We worked with a number of external agencies to determine specific requirements ensuring that we could add value to the process of monitoring and recording Photovoltaic installations; specifically providing accurate and factual data around efficiencies over time. This area of efficiency is definitely an issue which will become prominent in consumer’s conscience as time progresses, questions will be asked in time regarding returns on investment and meeting obligations around reducing C02 emissions; now Electrocorder can offer the answers to questions about efficiency.”
The iintroduction to the market of a robust low cost portable data logger for the measurement of solar generation efficiencies will be of particular interest to solar renewables consultants, installers and electrical energy assessors.
Their other exhibits will include: low cost AC portable data loggers to measure voltage, current and power factor. These are used extensively by companies involved in voltage optimisation, energy assessments, load surveys and the power distribution companies are using the voltage loggers to test for supply issues.
Acksen have just sold a number of their PV-3 Solar data loggers to Tanzania and are exploring more opportunities in sunnier climates. www.acksen.com

Ainscough Vanguard - It is widely recognised that there is a growing need for engineers with advanced skills and experience in the rapidly expanding wind energy sector, and this is not presently being met by UK-based universities.
The European Academy of Wind Energy, of which Strathclyde University is a member, is exploring ways in which to assist with meeting the strong demand for skilled manpower. It recognises that, because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the technology, an expansion of post-graduate training provision is required in this area.
With this in mind, Ainscough Vanguard is looking to share t heir ‘space’ and provide an opportunity for Strathclyde and other University students to ‘platform’ their current research findings to a wider – more specific audience. The Doctoral Training Centre for Wind Energy
Systems in Strathclyde aims to help meet this demand, and Ainscough Vanguard is looking to offer potential students a ‘shop window’ opportunity to show a captivated audience their research findings.
Matt Ainscough, Managing Director of Ainscough Vanguard suggested that: “One of the key concerns for our company – and engineering in particular – is the skills gap between real life, sharp-end engineering practice, and pre and post-graduate students. One of our key target markets for the future is providing the same outstanding levels of service and promisematching capabilities to the on and offshore Wind Power business community. They, like other engineering firms, have an ageing workforce of dedicated professionals. It is part of our culture to assist the next generation to achieve all they can. This link with Universities, and our current work with the, soon to be opened, multi-million pound, Wigan Youth Zone, will help us to achieve that goal”
With a continuing commitment to youth development, Ainscough Vanguard has recently launched an engineering apprenticeship, combining Mechanical, Fabrication, Welding and
Electrical training that will last a full three years. Ainscough Vanguard will continue to invest in the future of engineering in this country, so look out for ‘the students’ on their D49 stand. www.ainscoughvanguard.co.uk

Heliex Power Ltd - The innovative Heliex rotary screw expander, recovers low grade energy from wet steam, and generates electricity. The simple and robust twin screw machine can generate power by replacing existing pressure reduction valves (PRV) in industrial steam installations, Boiler Enhancements and Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) processes.
Based on the proven and well tested concept of the twin rotary screw principle, the Heliex expander uses the PRV in steam distribution circuits and WHR boilers to generate clean electricity for use on-site power generation or for selling to the national grid. Where applicable, spare boiler capacity can be used to generate electricity
Heliex’s expander sets are rated from 70 to 500kWe output in all international voltages and frequencies. Higher outputs are achieved by multiple and multi-stage combinations.
Maximum steam inlet pressure is 25bar abs.
The patented cost effective technology can work where turbines can’t, as the screw expander can process wet steam, eliminating the needs for complex timing gears and other costly components, such as refrigerants, etc. (as used in ORC systems). www.heliexpower.com

Houlder has significantly expanded in the last twelve months and its 120 employees now operate across three business streams; marine design consultancy, offshore projects and engineering and marine equipment. All-Energy 2013 provides an ideal opportunity for visitors to experience Houlder and see the equipment developed by the latter in operation.
Examples include an award winning personnel access system already operating on UK wind farms, a bespoke skidding system which transfers 200 tonnes of cable a distance of 10m along a ship’s deck during offshore pipe laying operations and an innovative pair of gripper arms that support the installation of offshore wind turbines by keeping foundation piles in place as they are driven into the seabed.
Houlder has announced the delivery of its Reel Skidding Drive System (RSDS) to Aberdeenbased Aquatic; equipment and solution providers for reeled products. The unit is now in transit to South America for mobilisation onboard Aquatic’s end customer vessel for the project. The Reel Skidding Drive System (RSDS), designed, engineered and constructed by
Houlder to the client specification, consists of a skid frame, skid trolley and push beam.
Weighing 75t itself, the RSDS receives a loaded cassette reel of flexible product, engages its drive system and then transports the unit 10 metres along the vessel deck from the loading to the product deployment position. It is designed to operate at sea in all but storm conditions.
The skid trolley itself is 4m wide and 10m long and features a tower and cradle arrangement to support two different reel sizes of up to 150t each. In order to move the reel cassettes the
10m required, the RSDS utilises a pair of 30t hydraulic rams that drive the trolley over the skid frame on 200t Hillman Rollers. Its lateral movement is arrested by guides at the four corners of the skidding frame. The operation is easily reversed to pull the trolley back to the loading position ready for deployment of more product. Finally, to ensure safety the system is fitted with an audible movement alarm and flashing warning beacons.
The RSDS (picture available) was developed, designed and fabricated in a total of sixteen weeks, with a furthe r four weeks of certification and testing undertaken under Houlder’s supervision at MC Ware’s Tees facility.
Jon Mears, Houlder’s project director commented: “The RSDS design and build was a fast track programme, successfully achieved by the Houlder team working closely with our client
Aquatic and specialist subcontractors, MC Ware Fabricators and Micron Eagle Hydraulic
Engineers. The unit supports our client in delivering improved operability in a very challenging flexible product laying environment.” You can see the system here http://youtu.be/c081czNbyQE

Kingspan Wind is launching its new, much anticipated, high performance KW15 wind turbine, details of which will be made public for the first time at the All-Energy Exhibition &
Conference.
The company will also be providing information about its new free insurance package – believed to be the most comprehensive on the market – as well as advice on finance and the ease with which landowners can achieve planning permission for small turbines.
The KW15 is the latest addition to Kingspan Wind’s acclaimed small turbine portfolio and the launch is expected to generate enormous interest, particularly among agricultural and rural communities. The company’s other turbines, the KW3 and KW6, already enjoy worldwide popularity, with over 4,400 currently operating in 60 countries, many with more than 20 years’ continuous operation.
17

Gavin Kerr, Technical Sales Manager for Kingspan Wind advises: “The launch of our new
15Kw turbine demonstrates our commitment to advancing and expanding our existing product portfolio, and it positions Kingspan Wind firmly as a global leader in the small wind turbine arena.
“The 15Kw turbine has been designed from the ground up and extensively tested to ensure that it matches the durability and efficiency of the existing KW series - widely regarded as the most reliable wind turbines on the market.”
All Kingspan small wind turbines are able to operate in any wind speeds, even storm-force conditions, without needing to stop. As wind velocity increases, the blades pitch and cone to protect the turbine while at the same time maintaining continuous energy production. And none of the turbines have a gearbox, reducing the number of moving parts. Consequently, they require minimal servicing during their lifetime.
The KW15 incorporates a number of technical advances in small wind technology specifically to ensure responsible operation, low noise for ease of planning, and enhanced aesthetics. Newly designed turbine blades provide quiet operation in all wind conditions and the KW15’s distinctive clean lines are expected to be well received by both local authorities and planning departments as well as by landowners.
“Visitors to the Kingspan Wind stand at All-Energy will be provided with a full product specification including performance and acousti c data,” advises Mr Kerr. “Furthermore, our experienced Kingspan Wind team will be on hand to help savvy customers understand the financial benefits of producing their own green electricity, whilst generating income from the government’s Feed-In Tariffs and taking control of their own energy generation.
“The new KW15 can effectively reduce your carbon footprint, help future proof against rising electricity costs and provide an excellent return on investment for smart consumers.”
Commenting on the continued popularity of the Kingspan Wind range, Mr Kerr continues:
“There are very few manufacturers who can reference such longevity in the wind market and we know customers find this very reassuring.”
To add to customers’ comfort and peace of mind, all Kingspan Wind systems now come with a free and exclusive Royal Sun Alliance wind turbine insurance policy. Called Connect and
Protect , it provides comprehensive cover, including damage, breakdown and loss of revenue and Feed in Tariff payments.
Kingspan Wind customers will qualify for 12 months free Connect and Protect insurance alongside the product warranty provided the installation has been carried out by a Kingspan
Accredited Installer.
Mr Kerr adds: “ Connect and Protect is backed by two major UK-based plcs, Royal Sun
Alliance and Kingspan, so consumers can invest with confidence. And we are very proud to be able to offer our customers the most comprehensive wind turbine insurance package on the market for no initial charge – once you’re connected, you’re protected.”
Kingspan Wind has also recently launched a wind-crofting initiative for land owners, farmers and businesses. Wind-crofting is rapidly gaining in popularity because the requisite planning permission is far easier for multiple installations of these small-scale turbines with a tip height below 25 metres than for a single medium-to-large scale system.
Bespoke packages are available for off-grid and direct heating applications, where customers wish to reduce heating costs or a reliance on diesel generators while benefiting from Feed-in-Tariff income.

Linnet Technology Limited - In response to the emerging demand from their customers, in association with theirr partner Auriga Energy Ltd, Linnet Technology has developed a hydrogen fuel cell backup system - the AurigaGen.
Linnet Technology was tasked directly by a key client with proposing an alternative to a conventional diesel generator stand-by system. Initial investigations highlighted the limited scope and flexibility of available hydrogen powered systems. Having spoken with a number of organisations in Canada, USA and Germany, there was evidently a need to develop a tailor-made system of their own.
The AurigaGen is the first hydrogen fuel cell powered stand-by system not based on conventional UPS architecture. Their starting point for this project was the fuel cell, for which they then designed and built a bespoke control and communication module enabling integration of the fuel cell, inverter, gas supply and monitoring systems. This allows them to build systems to exact customer requirements.
The team at Auriga Energy brings a proven expertise in the delivery of hi-tech products for the space and defence industries, in particular the development, integration and delivery of fuel cell and photovoltaic technologies.
This particular system delivers 6KW of uninterruptible power in the event of a mains outage providing virtually unlimited runtime. The system manages to combine the seamless changeover provided by the UPS with the alternative power source of the generator within
19

one system, thus eliminating the possible problems of diesel engine emissions, fuel spillages and having multiple strings of lead acid batteries.
They will be featuring the AurigaGen system on their stand without the hydrogen fuel cell.
They will also have a pop-up roller banner that features a scaled version of the system.
They hope to provide a model of the space-saving advantages of the AurigaGen, as they compare the power provided by their compact system, to the need for a room full of batteries, UPS and/or generator.
The footprint occupied by this system is greatly reduced in comparison with conventional stand-by arrangements, Of greater benefit to customers is the possibility of using this type of system as an alternative to mains power as well as a stand-by system. In such an application, the system will be continuously fuelled by a hot-swap of the hydrogen tanks.
The advantages of hydrogen fuel cell systems versus traditional generator/UPS systems include:
- zero carbon emissions
- greater efficiency
- greater autonomy time
- quiet operation
- lower whole life costs
- functional indoors or outside
- no toxic/diesel waste or spillage problems
- remote monitoring options
- only by-product is water.
This product is important now as it can be used by businesses to help Scotland (and the UK) reach their carbon emission reduction target by 2050.
They installed the UK ’s first system into the Sabio Ltd office in Glasgow City Centre in March
2012 with great success and presented the AurigaGen to Fergus Ewing, Scottish Minister for
Energy, Enterprise and Tourism, during the office's Grand Opening in September.
The AurigaGen is currently used by Sabio, a contact-centre solutions specialist, in Glasgow but can be employed in any industry to replace traditional diesel generators/UPS. Due to the
AurigaGen's extended run time, it can also be used as a primary source of power for emergency traffic lights/road signage.
Linnet Technology were recently awarded the SELECT Electrotechnical Award for 'Best New
Product' 2012, for the AurigaGen. www.linnet-tec.co.uk
The Lofrix ® product range was created through 20 years of development, testing and trialling specifically to tackle the costly scourge to industry of the effects of friction. The Lofrix stand will tell the story of a technology that has the ability to prevent but also cure the effects of friction, maintain the quality of lubrication and dramatically reduce the need for maintenance visits.
The Lofrix® friction reduction technology breakthrough is revolutionising the wind sector, with ScottishPower Renewables, the largest wind farm operator in the UK, embracing the technology and recently announcing it will be applying Lofrix to all of its out-of-warranty wind turbines.
A lready in use in around 12% of all the UK’s large wind turbines, the purchase of Lofrix® has a payback period counted in days. Recent independent testing of Lofrix® by Huddersfield
20

University has shown the product to significantly reduce component wear, greatly extend operating life and also reduce the energy required to operate equipment.
When used in the gearboxes of wind turbines, Lofrix® reduces the operating temperature which occurs as the consequence of a lowered coefficient of friction. In turn, this dramatically reduces particulate loss from moving parts, which without the addition of Lofrix®, contaminates the lubricating oil, significantly reducing its effectiveness.
This featured exhibit is used by ScottishPower Renewables, RWE Npower, Alstom, BAe
Systems, Windtechnics and others; Lofrix® is of use to windfarm operators, OEMs, maintenance companies, and all companies in the energy supply chains, both renewable and conventional.
Other exhibits will include the full range of Lo frix® products, including for use in hydraulic systems, the ‘dry’ product for pre-treating and coating surfaces, and a full range of antifriction greases.
They are used by all companies in all industrial sectors including aeronautical, construction, textiles, manufacturing, paper and board, cement etc
After five years of testing costing an estimated £750,000 Lofrix® was chosen to be the only antifriction product authorised for use on the cockpit mechanism of BAe System’s Typhoon
Eurofighter demonstrating the unique qualities of the product. www.lofrix.com

Millar & Bryce Ltd With reference to renewable energy land sites, when advising either, developers in commercial land acquisition, investors or buyers of development sites,
(whether built out completely and generating electricity, or at planning and offer of grid connection stage, or indeed any stage) their clients must obtain comprehensive diligence comprising, title information, reports, maps, plans and a variety of other data from diverse sources such as utility companies, title, mineral and underground, environmental etc. These come in different shapes, sizes, colours and scales. Their clients must then undertake the often time consuming and cumbersome task of collecting, and appraising the data and manually assembling titles and reports.
Millar & Bryce and Ennova realised that there was an opportunity to innovate the way that this information was ordered and assembled. To address this opportunity they knew they had to break the traditional mould and devise a different approach to their delivery.
To support these objectives and create a significant competitive advantage they introduced thei r new “Renewables Land Referencing” service.
Many commercial legal firms use Millar & Bryce for supplying conveyancing reports or
“searches” in commercial site transactions, in fact Millar & Bryce provide “searches” in over
90% of the commercial site transactions in Scotland and a significant share across the UK.
Their clients require to appraise or assemble data related to ownership, tenure and physical constraints in these transactions. Topically many of these sites are development of renewable energy sources.
Through working with Ennova and understanding the complexity of the site assembly process they were able to introduce a land referencing service which dispenses with the time consuming, cumbersome manual paper assembly of individual titles to satisfy these requirements. They deliver an interactive document that maps all relevant land titles, tenures and property interests in a single electronic vie.
The solution enables maps, plans, aerial photography, title information, ownership details, flood risk data and contaminated land to be viewed from a single application.
From a client perspective land referencing delivers operational excellence. Their unique solution allows, for the first time, their clients to view the information and interact with the layers over the Ordnance Survey map.
Millar & Bryce and Ennova have transformed the delivery of site assembly data in the renewable energy sector.
22

Through adoption of technology, they have created competitive advantage by introducing a land referencing service, which dispenses with the manual assembly of individual titles..
The “Renewable Land Referencing” service adds value to their client’s processes by;



Being faster than traditional methods
Being more accurate
Being less expensive than the cost of traditional methods of site assembly
An independent panel, including Academics, Members of the Scottish Parliament and the
Law Society of Scotland have reviewed their new land referencing services and commented
"made genuine technological breakthroughs for the legal community".
The UK has different frameworks for conveyancing and registration, with both legislatory and regulatory differences in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
The “Renewables Land Referencing” services bridges these divides and provides the legal profession with a service that encompasses all information required for an energy development transaction. This innovation transforms site assembly and title examination.
This will be the future for land assembly, and it’s happening today!

REpower UK ’s aim is to provide customers with the optimal wind power plant for every location. They will be featuring their 3.XM and 6M turbines.
3.XM: With high yields and great reliability, the 3.XM series is an evolution of the MM series with its proven track record but key areas have been redesigned to further maximise performance.
Using larger capacity turbines like this means that onshore wind farms can be even more productive in relation to their size and REpower is leading the way in this respect. The recertificat ion of the turbine demonstrates REpower’s commitment to develop turbines that provide customers with high yields in all wind conditions – the new certification will make the
3.4M104 ideally suited to windier conditions in UK sites.
Building on REpower’s proven technology the MM100 is the latest model in the MM series, an extension of the MM92. With its large rotor diameter of 100 meters, this model provides very high levels for energy generation for IEC class III sites.
6M: REpower engineers used the proven 5M wind turbine model as a basis for designing the
6M offshore model – and have thus developed a wind turbine with a nominal power of 6.15 megawatts and a rotor diameter of 126 meters that ranks among the most powerful offshore wind power plants in the world. The REpower 6M is not only groundbreaking in terms of reliability and maintenance. An advanced cooling system for the generator enables the offshore wind power plant to deliver a continuous capacity of 6 megawatts. The refined electrical system guarantees a long lifespan and highest yields at minimal operating costs.
They will also be exhibiting the MM82, and MM92. www.repower-uk.co.uk

RS Aqua Ltd , the Hampshire based distributors of ocean research and monitoring equipment, have signed a “channel partner” contract with Californian based Liquid Robotics
Inc, the manufacturers of Wave Glider®. The contract covers sales, support service and rental activities in the UK and Ireland.
The impact of Wave Glider
® , the world’s first wave powered autonomous marine robot, has been amazing. It uses only the ocean’s endless supply of wave energy for propulsion and solar energy for communications, computing and sensor electronics. It requires no fuel or manpower, creates no harmful environmental emissions and requires no refuelling as it goes
27

about its missions to collect environmental data during year-long cruises over thousands of miles.
Wave Glider
® is already being seen as a valuable platform in the need to conduct Marine
Mammal Monitoring in the vicinity of offshore renewable energy structures.
The contract terms empower RS Aqua to provide marketing, sales, service and maintenance support for the Wave Glider
® product line within the ocean research, offshore renewable energy, coastal monitoring, security, defence and allied market sectors.
Wave Glider
® is a two part vehicle with a surface master float connected by a 6m umbilical to a subsea glider or submersible. The float contains the system payload and control technology whilst the energy generated by the subsea wing array is converted into forward thrust. Payload can comprise a wide and almost endless range of ocean and environmental sensors with real time communications to satellites.
RS Aqua’s MD, Roger Scrivens, has a long held belief in the benefits that glider technology can bring to the ocean research fraternity and the pathway towards collaboration between the two parties has rapidly developed over the last twelve months.
Many tales of Wave Glider
® prowess and capability are already circulating within the media but, of special note, was the continuous successful operation of vehicles in the Gulf of
Mexico during Hurricane Isaac, off the Northern US coast battling Hurricane Sandy and the recent arrival in Hervey Bay, Queensland of “Papa Mau”, the first of four Wave Gliders to complete a 9000 miles crossing of the Pacific from San Francisco to Hawaii, ending its world record journey in Australia. www.rsaqua.co.uk
RSPB will present:

FAME (Future of the Atlantic Marine Environment) one of the largest seabird tracking studies in the world that will help safeguard the future of the biodiversity of the Atlantic
Ocean. FAME will inform the designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and provide advice to best practice management recommendations of these areas; and

A review of Scottish Government plans announced for a network of 33 nature conservation Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within Scotland’s seas.
FAME: A pioneering programme, fitting tiny sat-nav style tags to seabirds, is helping scientists find and protect important at-sea feeding areas for seabirds.
In the Future of the Atlantic Marine Environment (FAME) project, scientists from organisations such as the RSPB have been attaching small tracking devices to seabirds such as kittiwake, shag, razorbill, guillemot and fulmar. These tiny trackers tell us how far the birds travel for food and how deep they dive. This in turn is helping inform discussions on management of our seas, including the siting of marine renewables technologies, so that seabirds and their feeding 'hotspots' can be protected.
Early findings of the ground breaking project are shedding new light on the feeding habits of
Scotland's seabirds: some are flying much further for food than scientists had previously thought.
This information comes as early reports of seabird breeding performance on RSPB
Scotland’s reserves in the northern isles of Orkney and Shetland - together home to some of
Scotland’s most important “seabird cities”- indicate continuing problems for some of the country’s internationally important seabird populations. This new information will be used to
28

improve conservation measures for our seabird colonies, including creating marine
Protected Areas, and informing Scotland's new marine spatial planning system.
The FAME project is a transnational partnership between RSPB, and BirdLife International partner organisations in France, Portugal, Spain and Ireland, as well as the University of
Minho in Portugal and WavEC. It is aimed at supporting informed decision-making in the marine environment along Europe’s Atlantic seaboard and is funded 65% by the European
Regional Development Fund Atlantic Area Transnational Programme.
MPAs: Scotland’s seas are truly amazing. Our inshore waters alone support around 8,000 complex and 40,000 single cell plants and animals, including a variety of internationally important habitats and species.
We have taken advantage of this diverse environment’s ability to provide us with a vast array of goods and services and, in the 21 st Century, it remains at the forefront of our food and energy needs. However, the industrialisation of our seas has taken its toll and could continue to deteriorate without action. So by providing species and habitats with some much-needed breathing space, marine protected areas can help ensure this does not happen. An ecologically coherent network of well-managed marine protected areas is therefore vital to conserve and regenerate our seas, in turn protecting the many goods and services they provide now, and for generations to come.
MPAs - industry, policy and decision makers in addition to those with an interest in the future of the marine environment will have an interest in and use for the exhibit.
Other exhibits will include: general information about RSPB from friendly, engaging staff, pin badges to buy and opportunities to support their work.
The RSPB is Europe’s largest wildlife conservation charity with more than a million members and nearly 20,000 volunteers. Rigorous scientific research work underpins their conservation policies and action. The FAME project is a prime example of their pioneering science producing trends and results that can be evaluated and acted on. www.rspb.org.uk

Thistle Systems Group will demonstrate their innovative Max the Cube approach to storage solutions.
One of their key projects which they will be exhibiting is the use of a unique heavy duty slide and store system which Aker used to store their trees below a mezzanine floor. The system allow the trees to be loaded by the overhead cranes onto radio controlled trolley systems which can handle loads of up to 60 tonnes
The solution was developed specifically for the offshore sector to solve a key problem of production space.
The widespread use of overhead cranes in the industry has prevented companies maximising the height within their facilities.
The system can enable companies to release valuable production space within its existing facility and therefore improve long term profitability in a very cost effective way.
This featured exhibit is used by/of use to: Any organisation operating in the oil and gas industry which is looking to increase its storage capacity within its existing facility as opposed to moving or building new premises.
Thistle will also be showcasing a number of solutions and projects suitable for the offshore industry including mezzanine floors, racking and shelving as well as the innovative radio shuttle racking solution which can increase capacity by as much as 100% over standard racking
They are used by/of use to: Any company which is looking to improve the performance of its warehouse whether its increasing capacity in the same floor space or optimising the storage to create more production space.
Thistle Systems’ revolutionary Max the Cube approach has been called upon by numerous companies in the Oil and Gas industry including Schlumberger, ABB, Drill-Quip, Sub-Drill and Asco.
Their expertise in interior fitouts was also demonstrated by the completion of Asco’s global headquarters in Aberdeen where they transformed the Executive Suite, the Boardroom and additional office space to the highest standards. www.thistlesystems.co.uk

Tigh Grian Ltd will highlight an affordable resource/energy efficient showcase house, factory built, beautiful architectural design, for family housing with low energy consumption due to airtight modular construction, heat recovery, solar panel and heat pump for back up, the affordable solution for modern housing.
The Resource Efficient House being built at the time being should open during the 3rd week of April at the BRE Innovation Park in Ravenscraig (North Lanarkshire) where you can visit.
At the All-Energy exhibition they will provide pictures/movies/models of the construction and the finished house which will be monitored during three years for its energy efficiency by
University of Strathclyde.
They think that the big schemes of wind/tidal energy are great, but that everyone's effort could be in reducing energy consumption in the first place with Tigh Grian houses. They try to make it affordable in order to allow every housing association to build resource-efficient housing in accordance to the regional/local climatical and aesthetic conditions. It is to show that energy efficiency doesn't have to be expensive! And that affordable doesn't mean ugly!
As they are just building the Resource Efficient House they would like to showcase it in
Aberdeen as a most important means of energy efficiency with renewable add-on made affordable. This is a showcase house, but as such it should also show that this is a repeatable construction method and can be used anywhere, the target being to make resource efficient housing accessible to everyone.
Tigh Grian is building the Resource Efficient House in the BRE Innovation Park in
Ravenscraig together with Zero Waste Scotland, where it will be for the period of 3 years, everyone is cordially invited to come and visit. After one year they might come back to
Aberdeen with more results.
The exhibit is of interest to energy efficiency conscious house builders, housing associations, for retirement homes, the construction method being endlessly repeatable, it can be used for private home building, schools, flats, and townhouses.
Tigh Grian (nühaus GmbH, Machin Architectes, Solmatix Renewables and Zeno Karl
Schindler Foundation) have combined their efforts (modular construction, architecture, renewable technology and research finance) in order to produce a beautiful Resource
Efficient House, affordable and accessible to everyone's budget. www.tighgrian.co.uk

VENSYS Energy AG is one of the technologically leading manufacturers of gearless wind turbines in the megawatt range which, thanks to their high efficiency, their robustness and their low maintenance requirements, are reliably providing energy on all continents.
VENSYS technology is based on many years of research and development by reputable
German institutes and universities whose findings have been constantly refined and implemented since 1990 by a team of highly qualified engineers and technicians, resulting in wind turbines that combine maximum efficiency with the minimum number of mechanical wear parts.
VENSYS wind turbines are built in several countries all over the world. Their technology has convinced licensees in China, Spain, India, Brazil and Egypt. In cooperation with its partners,
VENSYS supplies wind turbines in all current power classes.
VENSYS 1.5 MW platform: Brilliantly simple. Gearless and with permanent magnet technology instead of excitation power and gearbox losses. With an air-cooled generator and air-cooled VENSYS frequency converter for the most diverse grid requirements.
With a low-maintenance blade pitch system using a toothed belt drive instead of conventional, wear-prone drive pinions. With more than 13,000 turbines installed, the
VENSYS 1.5 MW platform today is the best-selling gearless 1.5 MW turbine in the world.
Innovative technology that has stood the test of time. 70, 77 and 82 meters: available in three different rotor diameters, it is suitable for the most diverse wind zones.
