Tiivistelmä
The aim of the thesis was to find out alternative forms of electricity generation for the Defence Forces. In the background of the topic were the emission reduction targets that will guide future energy production forms in a slightly more emission-oriented direction. This thesis reviews various forms of electric power generation that could be utilized in backup power generation. The power requirement of the backup power machine varies in this thesis from 300 to 2000 kVA. The backup power solution must be suitable as a fixed or movable unit.
The thesis reviews a few goals of the European Commission. Those goals will change the automotive and construction industries. Automotive and construction industries are very strongly connected to the construction of backup power plants. In this thesis, EU Commission studies, standards, studies, online pdf files, literature and the author´s own experience of backup power engines were utilized. During the thesis, a few energy companies were also asked how they see the future of backup power plants and different forms of energy. The companies were interested in the topic and their responses were very similar. This information was utilized in the preparation of this thesis.
The thesis reviews the changing factors of the backup power plants, which could potentially reduce emissions. The thesis also examines the different energy options and storage methods that are available.
In the thesis a light comparison of a few different energy solutions that could be suitable for backup power use was made. From these, the most appropriate option was selected with a view to future objectives, and a solution will be prepared on the basis of a needs assessment. The thesis was commissioned by the Finnish Defence Forces and the appendices contain essential information for the Defence Forces. The thesis proposed to the Defence Forces the use of biofuel in backup power engines and examined the possibilities of hydrogen solutions.
