A total of US$1.3-billion has been spent by telecommunications giant Vodafone over a three year period to vastly improve its infrastructure and network in Egypt. Unreliable power supply has proven to be detrimental to the country's telecoms capabilities, and is a major driver for Vodafone's large-scale upgrade project, which includes the supply, installation and commissioning of more than 500 Cummins Power Generation standby diesel generator sets.
Cummins North and West Africa regional manager for power generation Michael Farag indicates that the company's regional distributor Egyptian International Motors (EIM) has supplied the project with a total of 444 C33D5 33 kVA generators and 80 C22D5 22 kVA generators since the project began in 2014. Since then, due to the ongoing support from EIM, Vodafone has ordered a total of 306 more sets in 2015 and 115 more during this current year of 2016. Until 2007, EIM had only provided high-rating diesel generators for Vodafone switches.
"We realised that the Vodafone project in Egypt required small-rating generators for network sites. As a result, EIM supplied two ES28D5 generators to the project free-of-charge on a trial basis. The impressive performance and durability of these original two units laid the foundation for what is today a high-profile and mutually-beneficial relationship between two well-established global brands," says Farag.
Farag points out that Cummins' scope of the project includes: sales of the units, transportation, installation, commissioning, and after-sales service and warranty. Due to the large-scale nature of the project, Cummins and EIM are required to deliver and install up to 12 generators per day in order to adhere to strict timelines. "Thanks to excellent supply chain management, adaptability and flexibility, we have successfully met these demands."
What's more, Farag adds that all generator sites have been fitted with sound-proofed canopies to help reduce noise levels onsite, thereby complying with the necessary environmental standards. "This, together with additional factors such as prompt delivery, availability of spare parts, immediate installation, efficient operation and proper maintenance, gave Cummins a distinct advantage over its competitors."
The project is ongoing until 2017, and Farag is optimistic of the future outlook. "Our generator sets boast unrivalled fuel consumption, which ensures better availability of standby power at lower cost per kWh. This in turn ensures that Vodafone provides a more reliable and cost-effective service, which ultimately benefits Vodafone's client base, and Egypt as a whole," he concludes.

Capstone Turbine: Not a Pretty Picture
by Debra Fiakas CFA
Last week microturbine manufacturer Capstone Turbine (CPST: Nasdaq) reported financial results for the final quarter of its fiscal year ending March 2016. Sales were $18.9 million in the quarter, bringing total sales for the year to $85.2 million. FY2016 sales shrank 26.2% from the prior fiscal year for the second year in a row. Some shareholders may be taking solace in the FY2016 net loss of $25.2 million or $1.39 per share in that it is an improvement over the even deeper loss in the year before. That does not necessarily mean that operating performance has improved for Capstone. The year-over-year comparison is muddied by a special charge in FY2015 for bad debt expense totaling $10.1 million. Then in the more recently reported FY2016, $1.5 million in bad debt recovery worked in the company's favor.
No one should be surprised at recent deep losses. Capstone Turbine has been reporting operating and net losses since - well, since the beginning. The continued deep losses beg the question: will Capstone Turbine every turn a profit?
The company staged an initial public offering sixteen years ago this month in June 2000, disclosing losses as far back as 1998. In that long-ago year, Capstone achieved the first commercial sale of its versatile Model C30 turbine. This was followed close on in 2000 by the introduction of the Model C60 using natural gas as fuel. Shareholders must have had high hopes for that second model, and sales initially popped to $36 million in FY2001 only to drop back to $19.5 million in 2002, well below sales achieved even by the first Model C30 turbine product. In both years, cost of goods far exceeded sales.
This last metric provides a clue to what might be Capstone's bottom line struggle. Even as the product line expanded and unit production increased, cost of goods exceeded sales up through 2011. In FY2012, the Company finally reported a positive gross margin of $5.4 million on $109.4 million in total sales. Unfortunately, it was still far too small to cover $37.1 million in operation costs, leaving an astounding operating margin of negative 28.9%.
Fast forward to the most recently reported fiscal year, the gross profit margin has improved to 15%, allowing the company to pull out $12.8 million of sales to cover operating expenses. Except that gross profits are not sufficient cover operating expenses. Spending on research, development, selling general and administrative activities totaled $37.3 million.
Of course, this is a look at reported net losses, which presents only part of the picture of operating results. Cash flow from operations brings the rest of the image into focus. It is not any prettier.
Capstone Turbine has never reported positive operating cash flow, relying year after year on cash resources to support operations. In FY2016, the Company used $22.5 million in cash resources for operations. There was $11.7 million in cash on the balance at the end of March 2016. At the recent spending rate the cash balance could last another six months.
Thus capital resources are an issue for Capstone Turbine. Management has avoided debt, and at the end of March 2016, there were $435,000 in notes payable and lease obligations on the balance sheet. The bias against debt has forced the company to go back to the equity capital markets every year for additional equity capital. In May 2014, the company staged a negotiated offering of 900,000 shares of common stock at $34.00 per share to a single investor, bringing in $29.8 million in new capital. Capstone has raised a total of $853.3 million in equity capital since inception, nearly all of which has been burned up by operations with losses totaling $827 million.
In August 2015, a little more than a year after the follow-on offering, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering program to sell shares of its common stock. By the end of March 2016, the Company had sold 6.9 million shares under this $30 million facility and took in another $12.7 million in new equity capital after expenses and fees. I estimate the balance of the equity facility could provide support for Capstone's operations for another eight months
Capstone shares are trading near $1.40 per share, which given the long history of weak results seems a bit dear. Microturbines offer the promise of energy efficiency and for some investors the whiff of environmental benefit may be enough to put up with dismal operating performance. I do like all things green, including money. Unfortunately, Capstone does not appear to be able to deliver any of that kind of green to shareholders.

GE's Distributed Power business (GE) today announced that AB, a globally leading combined heat and power and biogas project developer based in Italy, has purchased 115 of GE's high-efficiency Jenbacher Type 3 and Type 4 biogas engines. AB will offer the units to agricultural sector customers as a cost-effective alternative to upgrading existing engines at their sites.
This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160621005275/en/
Following a 2012 boom in agricultural biogas projects driven by government incentives, industry demand for new biogas development began to slow down. In response to this industry development, the new engine order illustrates AB's new service strategy to give agricultural customers a cost-effective new option to repower their existing biogas energy facilities.
"We purchased the 115 Jenbacher biogas engines from GE to provide an attractive and reliable service option to our customers in Italy during the minor overhauls for their installed gas engines," said Angelo Baronchelli, AB's president. "Instead of overhauling a customer's installed engine on-site, potentially causing several costly days of downtime, we now have the ability to immediately provide an alternative solution to replace the existing engine with a new 'premium long block' powered by one our latest Jenbacher units."
Time-saving engine replacement procedures are an attractive solution, helping customers reduce their downtimes and costs. High levels of plant reliability after such major service activities also provide additional economic benefits.
AB is offering the attractive replacement program for Jenbacher gas engines when they reach their recommended operating hours schedule for a minor overhaul. To save the customer time and money, AB offers on-site replacements with overhauled engines, including upfront delivery for engines that needs to be changed out. The customer receives an original Jenbacher engine that meets the latest technology standards and is aligned with the end user's business needs. Meanwhile, the operator's first engine will be overhauled at Orzinuovi and later will be returned to service during the next scheduled engine overhaul.
The long block option provides an extended scope of supply that is precisely adjusted to the customer's requirements and contains a comprehensive engine test run at the Jenbacher test bench facilities. Benefits of this approach include technical upgrades and short delivery times.
Installing a Jenbacher J320 long block engine under the replacement program will allow AB to offer an agricultural biogas plant operator 2,000 additional operating hours of power production in downtime savings, an estimated 2,700 tons of biomass savings and approximately €600,000 in additional income over 15 years. Meanwhile, the new long block engine offering continues to improve local air quality by helping the operator reduce the need to flare off biogas during the overhaul.
AB ordered 115 of GE's Jenbacher J312, J316, J320 and J416 gas engines. The engines will supply a combined 115-megawatts (MW) of renewable energy to AB's customers.
"We are excited to deepen our relationship with AB by supporting their innovative way to continue developing cost-effective biogas projects throughout Italy in support of Europe's efforts to expand renewable energy production," said Margherita Adragna, general manager—services for GE's Distributed Power business. "Increasing the long-term reliability of existing biogas facilities throughout the region will play an important role in supporting the region's efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions."
All of the 115 units will be delivered by GE's Overhaul Technology Center for Jenbacher gas engines in Austria, where GE's Distributed Power business also is headquartered.
The new order follows a multiyear agreement announced in 2011 between GE and AB for the Italian company to deploy Jenbacher engines for agricultural biogas projects throughout Europe. In all, AB now owns an estimated 1,100 Jenbacher engines that are being used for various on-site power projects.

Siemens has won a $24.6 million contract to install, operate and maintain a combined heat and power (CHP) plant at a US Army base in Germany.
The plant will be located at the Army's Installation Management Command (IMCOM) in the city of Sembach. The base also houses the headquarters of the US Army NATO Brigade, the European Regional Medical Command, television and radio broadcaster American Forces Network Europe and the 18th military police brigade.
Under the terms of the contract, Siemens is to install the CHP plant and a building automation and control system (BAS). The company's Desigo CC BAS will link a central hot water facility, to include boilers and the CHP plant, with 54 heating substations.
A microgrid is planned to be added in future to enable the base to operate some buildings off the grid.
According to Siemens, the new system will save the base over 33% in energy costs and reduce carbon emissions by 26%.
The project will be implemented by Siemens Government Technologies (SGT) through an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), which the company says is its first such contract with a US military facility outside the US.
ESPCs are aimed at encouraging US federal agencies to reduce their power consumption by enabling energy conservation projects with no capital
Praxair partners with NEL ASA on hydrogen refueling network in Norway; invests in Uno-X JV
24 May 2016
Uno-X Hydrogen AS, a NEL ASA (NEL) joint venture, has entered into an agreement with a Norwegian affiliate of Praxair, a leading global industrial gas company, as a strategic alliance to install 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, covering all the major cities in Norway by 2020. As part of the agreement, Praxair's Norwegian affiliate will aqcuire a 20% ownership interest in the joint venture.
Following the agreement, Praxair's Norwegian affiliate will hold 20% of Uno-X Hydrogen, with Uno-X Gruppen and NEL holding 41% and 39%, respectively. The joint venture will build a network of hydrogen refueling stations with hydrogen production, allowing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to operate in and between all the major cities in Norway. The stations will be deployed in cities such as Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Kristiansand, along with corresponding corridor locations.
Our joint venture will identify and develop the production infrastructure necessary to support a Norwegian network of refuelling stations. We believe that working closely with gas and oil companies, like we have done in Denmark and are now doing in Norway, is a recipe that can be successfully replicated around the globe.
—Jon André Løkke, CEO of NEL ASA
Praxair, Inc., a Fortune 250 company with 2015 sales of $11 billion, is the largest industrial gas company in North and South America and one of the largest worldwide.
NEL ASA is the first dedicated hydrogen company on the Oslo Stock Exchange. NEL is a global supplier of hydrogen solutions, covering the entire value chain from hydrogen production technologies to hydrogen refueling stations.
The US could be set to deploy 11 GW of new combined heat and power (CHP) and fuel cell-based generation capacity by 2026, according to new analysis.
In a report released this week, GTM Research predicts that the cumulative US CHP and fuel cell market will grow from its present 84 GW to 95 GW over the next 10 years.
Significant drivers for this predicted growth are policy incentives and technology development, the report found, with CHP uptake becoming more common in non-industrial customers, and corporations and data centres continuing to be the major adopters of fuel cells. The major growth will come from new customer segments and applications according to Mei Shibata, the report's lead author.
Addressing the market's slow growth to date and its predicted rosier prospects, Shibata said: 'What looks like a stagnant market on the surface is actually smouldering with a significant number of technology and fuel options, capable vendors and a new batch of customers who are ready to adopt fuel-based distributed generation systems.'
And she noted that CHP- and fuel cell-based distributed generation 'has and will continue to play a significant role in the US electricity system, as the US grid infrastructure ages and the need for cleaner and affordable generation options increases'.
According to the report, 8% of 2015's total US power generation capacity came from on-site CHP and fuel cells – almost double the contribution of wind farms, and 10 times the percentage gleaned from distributed solar power.
'CHP capacity alone represents more than three times the capacity that solar provides to the US, and its 83 GW dwarfs the 2 GW of installed microgrid capacity,' t

Scania delivering 51 hybrid buses to Madrid
12 May 2016
In June, Scania, part of Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH, will begin delivering 51 hybrid Scania Citywide buses to Madrid. These complete buses feature cost-saving and emission-reducing hybrid technology that meets the EU suburban and short distance Class II regulations.
The City of Madrid recently enforced tough temporary measures to tackle pollution, including limiting speed limits and banning passenger car access to the city center if NOx levels exceed acceptable levels. In parallel, the Madrid transport authorities have required bus operators to gradually switch to greener technology; conventional diesel has not been permitted in new bus acquisitions since 2010.
Companies can obtain favorable contracts if at least 20% of their fleets are operated on gas, as hybrids or as electric buses. Restrictions on the use of gas vehicles in non-adapted underground bus depots have prompted operators to select hybrid technology.
The 51 buses will be put in service by seven operators on behalf of
Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid, which holds responsibility for public transport in the Madrid Region. The first operator will be Alsa (Nat-Ex), followed by Samar, Avanza (ADO) and DBlas (Arriva). The total order encompasses 34 12.7-meter 4x2 buses and 17 14.8-meter 6x2*4 buses.
The new Class II specification Scania Citywide can be operated at speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph). The hybrid powertrain includes the Scania 9-liter engine and offers 320 hp (239 kW) with SCR-only technology that is compatible with up to 100% biodiesel and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
On the Citywide buses, the hybrid unit, comprising an electric machine (motor and generator) and automatic clutch, is located between the engine and gearbox. The electric machine is rated at 150 kW and 1,050 N·m (774 lb-ft).
A total of 1.2 kWh of energy storage is provided by a lithium-ion battery integrated in the roof structure at the front of the bus and is housed in a neatly styled bulb together with a DC/DC voltage converter and a cooling unit. The use of a Scania hybrid system together with a DC/DC converter, stop-start function and eco-roll provides the fuel savings.
Scania is one of the world's leading manufacturers of trucks and buses for heavy transport applications. Scania is also leading provider of industrial and marine engines.

Just underneath the surface, it's obvious that Vinicius Queiroz is still bitter about his most recent defeat. But on the outside, he insists he's put it behind. After all, there's new business at hand.
"I'm happy for Alexander Volkov," Queiroz told MMAjunkie.com in his native Portuguese. "He's a great champion with a great fight record. But anyone who saw us fight knows that I was nullifying his game. No one else in Bellator fought him as well as I did."
Queiroz (6-3 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) and Bellator MMA heavyweight champ Volkov (19-3 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) met in the semifinals of the company's Season 7 heavyweight tournament. While grappling specialist Queiroz stymied knockout artist Volkov in the early going, a controversial second-round referee restart gave the Russian the opening he needed to land heavy leather and end the fight.
"I think I was doing well at first, keeping a good distance," Queiroz said. "But the referee interfered by standing us up too quickly after I took Volkov down. Many fans and even the Bellator officials saw this. That standup was a determining factor in our fight, but it's water under the bridge now. Now my goal is to win this tourney and face him again. I'll be even more prepared for his standup, and he'll be more prepared for my ground game, so it will be a different fight altogether."
Volkov would go on to defeat Richard Hale and claim Bellator's vacant heavyweight belt. Queiroz now looks to earn his way to the rematch with a win in the company's Season 9 heavyweight bracket. Up first is another hard-hitter, Lavar Johnson (17-7 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), at Friday's Bellator 102 event at California's Visalia Convention Center. The fight is part of the evening's Spike TV-televised main card and follows prelims that stream on Spike.com.
"I think Lavar is a very experienced athlete, coming to Bellator from the UFC," Queiroz said. "It's a pleasure to welcome him to Bellator. He does have heavy hands and fights aggressively. I've fought muay Thai my entire life, so I'm more than ready to trade on the feet with him. I also feel my jiu-jitsu is an advantage over him. It may be a good path to win this fight. But I'm ready on the feet or on the ground, and undeniably he is very tough standing."
The fight will certainly have an old-school feel. Both fighters' path to victory seems clear. Johnson's heavy hands have felled 15 former foes, but his undoing has often proved to be on the ground, where Queiroz will hold a significant edge. The winner moves on to face the victor in the night's other semifinal bout with Mark Godbeer vs. Cheick Kongo.
A tournament win brings with it a shot at the promotion's heavyweight belt, which is Queiroz's ultimate goal. Should that mean a rematch with Volkov, as well, then all the sweeter.
"It's just one fight at a time for me," Queiroz said. "Of course I want a rematch with Volkov, but first I need to win this grand prix. Then I'll face whoever happens to be holding the belt. That's my focus."

A Frosty Soundscape with a Sunny Outcome!,
This review is from: Melody A.M. (Audio CD)
So a new Norwegian group called Royksopp (aka, Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge) have arrived in the states with 'Melody A.M.', which was earlier released overseas. And while many foreign newcomers come into the united music scene every year as a sweet release from mainstream's wannabe punk acts and candy-pop dress dolls who turn naughty the next day because they claim to be "all grown up now", Royksopp rightfully and respectfully deserves the hype!
In a breathless slur of words I guess I'd label this band as being downtempo electronica with a chilled-out culmination of so many different styles that it's nearly impossible to describe! "So Easy" may be a funky song to open up with but it's great to wind down to, which is essential when it comes to healing your aching bones after listening to such songs as the 70s dance influence of "Poor Leno" and the heavy dub pounding of "Royksopp's Night Out", which is gonna get your adrenaline pumpin' as the mind grows delirious and turns your body into an all-night dance machine! It wasn't until I realized that Anneli Drecker from Bel Canto (another Norwegian group) was a guest vocalist on the laid-back grooves of "Sparks" that the coffin was sealed, so to speak, and I went out and purchased the darn thing!
I find this album great to loosen up to when I'm feeling stressed and long to escape from that shadowed veil of pain... The lush tapestries of beautiful synths, strings and keyboards with electronic, almost cinematic space blips drape themselves over heavenly melodies, which are quite soothing to this moonlit_stardreamer so I'm praying that Royksopp is here for the rotation of many moons to come! :-)
