▬ Sustainable power generation with the optimal balancing solution ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Enabling an increase in variable generation with more flexible capacity that can rapidly start up when needed.
Intermittent renewable energy generation in the United States has seen a staggering 700% increase between 2008 and 2019, with solar and wind generation accounting for around 350 million MWh of power generation in 2019. The subsequent increase in variable generation means that flexibility is increasingly important in the energy system.
Cooperative Energy, a not-for-profit electricity cooperative covering 432,000 homes and businesses in the US state of Mississippi, was looking to upgrade one of its plants in order to help it supply affordable, flexible, and reliable power. Wärtsilä’s comprehensive solution comprises a plant powered by two gas-fired Wärtsilä 31SG engine generating sets and covered by a 10-year service agreement.
▬ This is how we did it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The challenge was to provide efficient power generation in a market with increasing levels of renewables and mitigate financial and timing risks in construction. Additionally, to have a resilient and reliable generation in a hurricane-prone region and maintain the plant and its performance over the lifecycle.
Our solution is our Wärtsilä 31SG, a flexible gas power plant with the ability to respond rapidly to continuously changing load patterns of systems with renewables. Providing full EPC delivery and a 10-year Wärtsilä Optimised maintenance service agreement.
Efficient and flexible power supply with a reduced environmental footprint. One EPC supplier with full responsibility for both timelines and costs. Fast starting; ability to supply power to key facilities such as hospitals during a natural disaster. Ensure optimized plant performance and efficiency over the lifecycle.

Super sir and first comment for me👍 I happy

[@vienduongxinchao]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rajsystems1653]

Great 👍

[@rakbd9048]

Excellent

[@riantomuklis6786]

God pawer energy khilang gas 👍🏭

[@dennisschoenaurer4152]

I wanted to hear one of these things running

[@JROrg2009]

Just to ask...was there any comparison -- and shown results - made between efficiency and economy of short and long term operation between the reciprocating engine technology and using one or more gas turbine units instead ?

[@fuckumaddafakka8529]

"Renewable" energy my ass 😂🤣😂🤣 But Wärtsilä engines are excellent 👍

[@christinalem9836]

❤

Drivers

[@tangobayus]

Works great if you have gas.

[@dennisschoenaurer4152]

It takes drilling oil wells to provide natural gas

[@molokinkita2337]

makeing electricity with Diesel for Electric car using clowns :D sounds green to me :D

[@pedrohugoneri]

This engine is most efficient when compared to a car engine, so is more green. By the way termal will be necessary in any environment condition because of wind and solar have fluctuation, this kid of energy source cannot running in a continuous output the whether can change fast, and for supply energy very fast the grid needs this kid of equipment.
