Waste gasification in Lahti
100 kilometers north of Helsinki, Finland, in the city of Lahti, is the world’s first eco-gas fueled power plant. Lahti Energy’s Kymijärvi II power plant runs on SRF.The plant produces 50 MW of electricity and 90 MW of district heat for the city of Lahti. It was officially inaugurated in May of 2012.

The bioliq® pilot plant
The bioliq® pilot plant covers the complete process chain required for producing customized fuels from residual biomass. Power and heat als the by-products and cover the own demand of the facility. For energy densification of the biomass, fast pyrolysis is applied. The liquid pyrolysis oil and solid char obtained can be processed into intermediate fuels of high energy density. Fuel and chemicals production from syngas requires high pressures. Therefore, syngas production is already performed at pressures up to 80 bar by entrained flow gasification. Gas cleaning and conditioning are conducted at the same pressure at high temperatures allowing for optimal heat recovery and thus improved energy efficiency. In the bioliq® pilot plant the purified syngas is firstly converted into dimethyl ether and then further to gasoline.

Modeled performance envelopes of rotor blade heating systems
Modeled performance envelopes as curves depending on wind speed and ambient temperature for different values of liquid water content (LWC) and surface temperature of the rotor blade. The curves were calculated with the “Task 54 Performance Envelope Model”.

Icing on structures on the nacelle of a wind turbine
Webcam image of superstructures on the nacelle of a wind turbine with recognizable icing, which corresponds to the structure and consistency of clear ice directly on the structures and changes to hard rime as it progresses. The turbine is located at a test site of the Nergica center of applied research in eastern Canada. The webcam image is part of a dataset in the “Task 54 Icing Event Database”.

Research project "N.ICE"
The erection of the experimental setup for the research project N.ICE could be completed just in time before the start of the winter season. For the next months, a number of different samples of nano-structured surfaces will be tested under the harsh icing conditions of the Styrian mountains. N.ICE is a cooperative research project between the Vienna University of Technology and the Energiewerkstatt Verein, which is funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund.

International workshop on ice fall risk assessment in Salzburg
On November 4th and 5th 2021, the Energiewerkstatt invited to a workshop on ice fall risk assessment in the framework of Task 19 of the IEA research cooperation. The aim was to revise the international recommendations on ice fall and ice throw risk assessment issued on behalf of the IEA. The expert group led by Energiewerkstatt published the new edition of the document in spring 2022.
